“Christina did an amazing job taking care of our cat for an extended period! She developed a great bond with him and her pictures and updates showed just how much fun he was having. She went the extra mile to make sure she never missed a visit, even after 2 feet of snow! We avoided vacations for so long because we felt we couldn’t leave him but she showed us just how happy he can be with her company! We can’t wait to use Christina’s services again!”
“Pamela’s service was exceptional! My kitties loved her and she always sent me the cutest photos of them. She was super attentive even when I sent her texts late at night. Awesome service I definitely recommend Pamela and will be using her services again in the future!”

About: Hi! My name is Chelsea and im 30 years old. I have been fostering animals (with my family) since I was 8 years old and on my own since I was 22. I love all animals and long walks. I’m currently working part time and remote so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets! I make my own schedule so I am flexible and reliable. Use code CHELSP42284 for $40 off your first service with Rover. I am patient and calm and understand there may be an adjusting period before your pet feels safe with a new handler. With many years of foster experience of both cats and dogs, I know how to familiarize myself with a pet and make them feel the most comfortable. I will always be respectful of your home (if a drop in or house sit) and clean up after any messes. I will be respectful of your time and wishes for walks.
“Lisa Marie was fantastic with my boys! She sent me pics at every drop in and by the end even my less affectionate cat was loving up on her. She was very communicative and gave my two cats lots of playtime and love. It felt good to know that they were well taken care of! Usually my boys are full of energy after I leave them alone for a night or two, but they were very sweet and snuggly this time since Lisa Marie kept them busy with their toys! I will definitely use Lisa Marie again in the future.”
About: I’m on Rover to help you out with any / all your pets needs while you’re away! I work full time as a behaviorist in a public school. I don’t dog train, but I am familiar with any techniques that you may need for your pup! I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I have experience with all breeds! All mutts and senior pups are welcome. I also have experience administering medication to dogs. All dogs of breeds and age deserve attention and love. I’d love it if you let me love your pets as if they are my own too! Thank you for reading this. I am able to work with the families in terms of what they need. My calendar may not always reflect accurately as my times with my full-time job (human) clients do fluctuate. If it is blocked off it means I am 100% unavailable. I don’t recommend myself in terms of full-on puppy training and 24/7 puppy care due to my schedule but I am versed in the training techniques due to my career. I am available weekends for extra care and staying in your home full time. My pets are well loved and taken care of while I care for others. I will never be able to host in my home, so please consider this! I offer in home care, overnight, daily walks, and check ins. Animals will not be hosted in my home due to a senior dog I have who is on medication. For those reasons, home sitting is only available in terms of long care. I have done walks, trips to stores, parks, yard play, and car trips with fur babies for daily drop ins, walks, or overnight stays!

Karen is the best! I was lucky enough to find such a reliable, caring, above and beyond pet sitter the first time I searched on Rover a few years ago and have used her services since! No need to look any further. I can always count on her. Thank you Karen, you are truly the cat’s meow!
Megan is wonderful with are cats, she follows all our care instructions carefully, is respectful of our home and most importantly cares for our cats as if they are her own. She goes above and beyond every visit to ensure our cats are happy while we are away and sends thoughtful updates and pictures each visit giving us peace of mind while we are away that our cats are happy and well cared for. Cannot recommend Megan enough!
Another great job by Katey! She is extremely reliable, very attentive and super kind to my 19-year old cat, Clarabelle. Katey always sends me photos at check-in and check-out, so I can see how my cat is doing while I’m away. She also keeps me updated on Clara ‘s overall condition and whether she’s eaten, etc. I really appreciate the great support from Katey!!

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 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.
