“Bhavana was amazing! She took care of my two cats as if they were her own and I trusted her completely! She was great about sending pics and communicating, will definitely be booking with her again!!”
“Julie was a great pet friend to Cle while we were away. She left cute pics and updates and always let us know when she was going to arrive. Cle was so happy when she came to play and give lots of belly rubs!”
“Jordan was fantastic, and I would highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs! She took care of my 2 cats while I was out of town for the week. Great pictures and updates were provided, and she kept me informed of everything that was going on with them. She also took the time to meet my cats and to see where all of their supplies are kept before we left for vacation. It was wonderful peace of mind to know they were so well taken care of by Jordan while we were away.”
“Theresa has giving me such peace of mind. I travel quite often and had a non-Rover sitter coming by to care for the cats. The care was inconsistent, which is so unfair to pets. I decided to book someone thru Rover and am so lucky to have found Theresa. She lives very close to my home and provides the attention and consistency that the cats deserve.”
“Grace took great care of my cat and I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in her care. She was also very easy to communicate with. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Quinn was amazing as our pet sitter for our cat Leo. He went above and beyond while I was away for several days, and I'm truly astonished at how easy Quinn made my vacation. Leo has a lot of requirements as far as taking care of him, and Quinn rose to the occasion in a huge way, and I really got the safe feeling Leo would be taken care of very well while I was away. Would definitely recommend Quinn as a pet sitter!!! Your pets are in good hands if you do”
“Larry was so kind to watch my elderly cat last-minute for a week. He was patient with her getting to know him and was so helpful with pictures and around the house during our absence. Highly recommend. Thanks Larry!”
“Christa was amazing watching our cat while we were out of town. She was very thorough with her check ins and appreciated the pictures and video. Our cat seemed comfortable with her even tho she isn’t usually with strangers! She even brought up our trash can and a package. Would highly recommend!”
“Chelsea was such a great care taker of my 2 outdoor cats. She met with us before our booking. She even took care of a package while were away. Pictures were sent every day. Thank you Chelsea.”
About: 👋Hi everybody! My name is Madison and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I am a current Masters student at EVMS studying surgical assisting. I am unable to work full time due to the rigor of the program so I love watching pets as a part time job. 🏡 I currently live in an apartment in downtown Norfolk with my boyfriend of 8 years, Grant. Grant helps out with potty breaks and walks if I am ever not home. We are both students and have internships so if your pet needs someone with them at all times, we unfortunately can only provide this on the weekends. 🐶I have experience with senior & adult dogs, cats, administering medications & puppies! I also volunteer at the Norfolk Animal Care Center in my free time to help out the shelter animals and be involved in my local community. We have no pets in our apartment currently. 🐱If chosen to care for your pets I will treat them with the love and respect that I would give my own pet. I love to send photo updates to the owner so that you can be assured that your pet is in safe hands. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! My class schedule is very flexible so I am able to offer frequent potty breaks and walks as needed! This allows me to follow the routine that your pet is already accustomed to I grew up with dogs in my parents home my whole life. My own dogs are spoiled and loved so much, so I will be sure to treat your animals the same way. My dogs love walks, playing outside, snuggles, and treats. I can promise that your animals will be treated no different than my own. I currently do not have any pets in my apartment
“Morgan was great! She helped us out really last minute and over a Holiday weekend. Could not have been more thankful for that. Our cat Bug definitely enjoyed her company! We loved the regular check ins and photos. Would absolutely recommend!”
“This is our first time trying pet sitting and we were pretty unsure about it. Jessica helped us navigate the process and did a great job with our kitties. We’ll definitely ask for her help again in the future!”
“Tyler did a great job with drop-in visits for my cat, Gina. He kept me updated with messages and pictures, so I always knew how she was doing while I was away. I really appreciated his communication and care—definitely grateful and would recommend him!”
“Myrna is not only professional, courteous and kind but she gives your fur babies true love while you’re gone. She is worth booking to keep watch over the members of your family. Do your best to get on her calendar!!”

Bhavana was so awesome. She trekked through flooded streets to get to our house and drop in for visits with our cat while we were away. She takes lot of photos which is great if you’re obsessed with your pet like we are 😂. Highly recommend her and will definitely hire her again in the future!
Jordan was fantastic!! She sent many photos each visit and was flexible and happy to work with me on my crazy last minute schedule changes and trip with limited cell service. She took great care of my cat and the outdoor stray cat and my cat loved her, which isn't always the case with new people!!
Quinn was amazing as our pet sitter for our cat Leo. He went above and beyond while I was away for several days, and I'm truly astonished at how easy Quinn made my vacation. Leo has a lot of requirements as far as taking care of him, and Quinn rose to the occasion in a huge way, and I really got the safe feeling Leo would be taken care of very well while I was away. Would definitely recommend Quinn as a pet sitter!!! Your pets are in good hands if you do
Lisa was wonderful! She followed all instructions, including giving medications to one of our cats. We received daily pictures and updates. The cats liked her a lot, which says a lot about her personality! Will definitely rebook in the future, and highly recommend!
Larry did a great job communicating with me during my entire trip and had no trouble adjusting to the moods of my occasionally anti-social cat. I never have to worry when he is looking after her— I always know she is getting the attention she needs from someone who is thoughtful and kind. Great Rover sitter!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
