“Patricia was great with my two cats! Even though it was her first visit, both of my indoor kitties came out and greeted her. My senior cat, Juliet, who only likes me and my daughter, actually came out to say hi to Patricia! She truly is a cat person and will take good care of your fur babies. I’m sure I will be booking her again!”

“Excellent! Michael is very thoughtful and does a great job. He is very reliable and we feel very fortunate to have such a capable and kind cat sitter. I love that he gives us updates and sends photos. Thanks Michael!”
“I’ve never used a cat sitter before and am so glad to have come across Victoria on Rover. Being out of town for several weeks, I felt completely at ease with my old lady cat in Victoria’s care. She’s timely, dependable, and quick to respond. I will definitely keep using her as my go-to sitter in the future!”
“I’ve never left my cats at home alone before when I’ve travelled and I was nervous about the drop ins but Melissa was fantastic - super communicative, knowledgeable and followed all the directions. I highly recommend her.”
About: YO HABLO ESPANOL TAMBIEN...I've had pets since I was a child, first a hamster, then a rat, house finches, more rats, cats, dogs, a tortoise.... When I take care of other people's pets I've been responsible for medications, training and even administering fluids with a bag and needle (I am a California state licensed phlebotomist). I've also fostered puppies, kittens and pregnant cats until they found their forever homes. I've recently moved back to the Bay Area, (as of September 2022). My beautiful Scottish terrier Gadget has passed away and I have lots of love to give your pets. Furthermore, I do not have pets of my own, as I have rehomed my African Sulcata tortoise Donatello and he's doing wonderfully in Washington state. I'm able to give your animals my full attention. I love traveling around the Bay Area and it is a pleasure to come to your home and housesit while you are away. My main priority during my stay is to spend a lot of time with your pets while keeping your home safe and clean.
About: I am new to rover but not new to caring for animals. I have had all kinds of pets throughout of my life! Because of this, I consider myself to be attentive, patient, and empathetic. I know how it can be scary trusting a stranger with your pet but I can assure you, I'll treat them as my own. I am the type of person that points out every dog that walks by in awe! I have experience in basic training dogs & puppies. At the moment I have a Border Collie named Koffee that I co parent with my brother, this taught me how important communication is (this includes sending the cutest pics/vids of them). I also have experience with other animals, such as birds, hamsters, reptiles, bunnies, & fish! Hablo español y inglés! I work from home so pet care fits perfectly into my life! I have a flexible schedule and I am available near by on most days. I treat all animals as if they were my own and I absolutely adore my pets so I know how important caring for someone else's pet. I also understand everyone has their own ways of parenting their pets so I respect everyones personal rules. I'd love to know about your pets particular needs or wants!
“I’m always so nervous to leave my kitty but Jasmarie was amazing and took great care of her, even giving her unexpected medicine for her skin allergy! Will definitely use her again!”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats since birth and have spent my whole life building a deep understanding of animal behavior and care. Growing up, my family raised two litters of puppies, giving me hands-on experience with everything from newborn care to socialization and training throughout various life stages. I currently share my home with three dogs of my own and I regularly care for friends' cats and dogs, both in my home and theirs. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small lap dogs to large breeds, and know that each comes with its own personality, energy level, and needs. People tell me I'm not just a dog person but also someone dogs are drawn to. Cats have been a constant in my life just as long as dogs have. I know how to read their cues, respect their space, and earn their trust on their own terms. I genuinely love every stage of a pet's life and know how to meet each animal where they are, whether that's an energetic puppy, a curious cat, or a laid-back senior. I’ve worked in human crisis intervention for over 6 years, which means I stay calm under pressure and know how to respond quickly and clearly when something unexpected happens. That same steady, caring approach is what I bring to every pet I look after. I do Rover to supplement my nonprofit career, so when I take on your pet it's because I genuinely want to be here, not because I have to be. Your pet won't just be cared for, they'll feel right at home! I work from home on a flexible schedule that I primarily set myself, which means I'm present with your pet throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. We have a fenced yard for outdoor time and can separate pets as needed, so your animal has a safe, comfortable space even with my own dogs in the home. My partner, Jen, is also available to support with pet care and walks if you are comfortable with Jen stepping in at times. Between both of our schedules, we can better accommodate recurring clients who need weekly care! There are photos of Jen at the end of my photo section. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I treat every pet like they're my own. My home is pet-proofed with a fenced yard, and I can separate animals as needed so everyone has their own safe space alongside my own dogs. I always want to know your pet's routine, quirks, and preferences ahead of time so I can keep things as normal and comfortable as possible for them. With a lifetime of experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, I'm confident handling whatever comes up, and my crisis intervention background means I stay calm and act fast if an emergency arises.
“Cyndi was such a big help when my husband and I got a new puppy. She came over twice a week for two weeks to help us give him lunch and provide some snuggles and play time. Cyndi does a great job of updating you with photos and a summary of the time she spent with our pets. She also provides a lot of great information and feedback if you have questions about a veterinarian or food products/toys. Overall, she did a lovely job and we will definitely be using her for future puppy needs?”
“Gabby was very responsive and willing to book with us on short notice to start building a relationship with our skiddish dog, Juniper. Juniper had no experience with having a dog walker or sitter before and so we knew it was going to be a trial and error process and Gabby was very helpful in reporting back to us how Juniper did during her visit. Thanks, Gabby!”
About: Im definetly a sitter who deals with pets & owners companion with affection, and understanding . My job is too take care of your pet , while I don’t mind taking our your trash, getting the mail , or closing and alternating your lights I can do as well I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years.Therefore I don’t necessarily see this as a job I see this as a hobbie, and would be hands down free to be a sitter I have eyes of a hawk, my dog can’t be away from my sight even for a slight second , because I know what type of pet my baby is . Id be more than honored to do the same for you doggy/kitty
“Carrie was our first experience with Rover. It was obvious, when meeting our cat for the first time, that Carrie made a special connection with our cat. She paid attention to the instructions we left for her to follow, and helped us feel confident in our selection, especially with daily photos and postings of our cat. We are totally pleased with Carrie and the wonderful care she provided for Ms Mimi. Mimi and her parents look forward to the opportunity to using her services in the future.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have had three of my own, which has helped me understand their different personalities, routines, and needs. I regularly take care of my cousin’s Husky and Shih Tzu when she’s busy, making sure they’re fed, exercised, and comfortable. I also care for my boyfriend’s cat at my home whenever he’s away, including feeding, cleaning the litter box, and giving lots of attention. In addition, I’ve been feeding a stray cat in my neighborhood and even set up a small outdoor shelter for her to keep her safe and warm. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly enjoy making sure they feel loved and cared for. 🐾 I have classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I’m free the rest of the week to hang out with furry friends and give them lots of love and attention. I'm available for in-home visits on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays,s and Saturdays all day. I'm also available for walks on those same days. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in my home or theirs. I keep their space clean, provide fresh food and water, and give plenty of attention and affection. I follow any instructions from the owner carefully, and I create a calm, secure environment so pets feel happy and relaxed while in my care.

I have rebooked Michael multiple times to take care of my cats, because I always know they are in great hands. Our first time booking, Michael suggested leaving out a bowl of water next to our electric fountain in case of power outage, which I had never considered, but showed me that he was truly thinking about the best care for my cats. Thanks for always taking the best care of my cats, Michael!
I’ve never used a cat sitter before and am so glad to have come across Victoria on Rover. Being out of town for several weeks, I felt completely at ease with my old lady cat in Victoria’s care. She’s timely, dependable, and quick to respond. I will definitely keep using her as my go-to sitter in the future!
This was a long hall being separated from Edger for a month. Te' did a great job. So many litter box refreshes, many cans to open and serve and dental treats to dispense. All done expertly. I go home earlier than expected but no reason to adjust any payout. My place was as good as I found it and Edger actually met me at the door late in the night of my return. Thanks to Te' my month out of California ended peacefully and calmly.
Rong is fantastic! She’s taken care of my kitty a couple of times now and always does a great job. She’s been super accommodating to last minute schedule changes, and is always kind and thorough. My cat loves her and I feel so much better leaving knowing Rong is watching her!
Sophia was a very respectful, responsible, and caring provider toward the needs of all of my indoor and outdoor cats. She provided us with excellent updates and pictures after every visit. I felt very confident and at ease while on vacation with Sophia as our sitter. Her services were 5 star plus.

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. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
