“Victoria did a great job with our kitties! One is very shy and she had to work very hard to get him to feel comfortable. She was patient and tried several strategies and by her third visit he had warmed up to her. She also spent time playing with and exercising our other kitty who immediately liked Victoria with their first meeting. I appreciated that she came over for a meet-and-greet before the appointments. I also loved the detailed updates and cute photos during her visit. I highly recommend booking with Victoria!”
“Once again Jeni comes through for the save! Had a last-minute commitment for a day and Jeni was able to swing by to let my dog out twice and feed her. Great updates and my dog is happy! Thanks!”
“Emily was such a great hep during this crazy week with our dog! She made sure Kenai was super happy and always sent great updates about her status! I can’t tell you how much of a great help she was to our family. Thank you again Emily!”
“My Maltipoo has trust issues walking with anyone but me but was comfortable going for a walk with Jesse C. This makes me so happy and with less stress leaving my pup for work etc.”
“Samantha is amazing! She was very patient and caring with my cat in gaining his trust. She sent prompt updates and photos on how he was doing along with updates on what his temperament was like each day. I would definitely request her services again when I am out of town.”
“Sofia was so great! She took really great care of my cat Carl, who needs medicine and special food in the mornings. I got lots of photos of Carl while I was gone, and she even took my packages in and put my trash cans away. I would definitely recommend Sofia!! 💛”
“Zack was absolutely amazing with my two dogs while I was away for a few days. My German Shepherd mix isn’t the easiest dog to care for, but Zack went above and beyond to make sure both of my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. He’s responsible, trustworthy, and always on time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great hands. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Zack to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking him again in the future!”
“Heather is absolutely great with cats. She did a great job taking care of Boris. I left for 5 days, and he wasn't at all stressed out when I got home. Heather is great at communication. I would definitely book her again.”
“Julia is so sweet and Rocket really loves her! As an over the top dog Mom, I trust Julia 100%. She is professional, polite, responsive and you can see her love for animals. We are so happy to have Julia to come check in on Rocket!”
“Brittany is the only dog sitter so far who has been able to get my very anxious Husky to go for a walk. That speaks volumes to the kindness, patience, and love that she has for animals. I am so impressed and grateful to finally have found someone that I can trust if we have to go away. She’s the best!”
“Lexy was a wonderful cat sitter. She was very communicative, sent tons of pictures and updates, and took good care of our cat while we were gone (all during the holiday season). She also helped me out with sorting out a package I had delivered to our house that I forgot was coming and this was really helpful for us. She was great and we would definitely recommend!”
About: I have taken care of my dog since she was 7weeks and she is now 5 about to turn 6 years old, I enjoy taking her on walks and playing with her. I am only working part time right now so I have lots of open time, also my school schedule is easy so I have extra time My household takes very good care of our pets, with healthy food and good sleep. We also give our dog the exercise our dog that is needed.
“Rachel was was great. She came to our house to do two drop in visits for our chickens over spring break. She made sure they had food and water and collected the eggs. Rachel sent lots of pictures and was easy to communicate with. Thanks again!”
“Outstanding and reliable, with excellent communication! We have several pets (cat, tortoise, dragon, dogs, fish) and it’s good to know that we can count on Oli to perform our complicated pet routine when we’re away. Thanks!”
“Courtney was absolutely amazing. I'm a crazy dog mom & hadn't ever left my girl. She's a therapy dog & my medical service dog & she goes everywhere with me but we were going to an airshow & I was worried about her ears so I didn't want to take her. We were camping in Malibu & it was difficult to find someone because everyone was a good distance from here but Courtney was agreeable to come to our RV park. She hadn't been here before & was so great at following directions. My dog loved her, I could see from the photos how happy she was. Courtney walked her & played with her. I couldn't recommend her more highly She kept me updated, communicated well, was on time, and most importantly made my pup so happy. She sent me updates for both visits and a lot of really cute pictures. I'm a sitter here on Rover as well and am very picky but if you're looking for a great dog walker/sitter, look no further...Courtney is absolutely FANTASTIC! I can highly recommend her and I will definitely book with her again in the future when we're in the area.”

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
