“Jessica was amazing, what was supposed to be an easy one day check in was a little more anxious when our one babe ate something he shouldn’t have, but she was happy to add another visit, and kept me updated and looking out for him! A clear cat lover and made this overprotective momma feel at ease!”
“Mary was an absolutely incredible cat sitter while we were out of town. She showed how thorough she is right from the start by asking so many great questions during our meet and greet. She took wonderful care of our two cats, making sure all of their daily needs were met while showering them with love and playtime. One of our cats is incredibly shy, but Mary managed to get her to come out and play. We will definitely hire her again in the future and highly recommend her services.”
“Christablle is awesome! I was able to work with her on shorter notice and was so lucky to find her. I also extended my trip twice and she was able to continue care with no problems. My cats loved her and she did a fantastic job. Will be using again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since moving to virginia, for friends and family since I work from home. Especially during the holidays or working hours I am free to help with your pets. I currently work from home so I am free during the weekdays during working hours. I can also do weekends and house sits. Thank you! I have a senior calico and a very clingy black cat so I understand how every cat has a different personality. I don’t rush or force myself in my cats personal space. This is why I feel like my cats and other peoples cats feel comfortable with me to ask for pets and I enjoy playing with them.
About: Throughout my life, me and my family have constantly had dogs and cats in and out of the house, ranging from small puppies/kittens to largest dogs. I’ve rescued so many animals with my mother and it has become a norm to be around multiple at a time.I love being with animals and enjoy spending time with all types. I’m a part time employee so weekdays I’m free from 11:30 to around 3 but on Fridays and Saturday I’m free all day. Sundays after 4pm I can feed, play, or walk any animal and can adjust to all personalities. I can ensure that whatever instructions you give me I will do my best to make them happen and make sure you animals is well taken care of.
“manrong was communicative, reliable, clean, and great with both our highly anxious dog and cat. our cat has never come out for a sitter until we booked with her, which really spoke volumes. manrong also followed all my instructions and made adjustments when asked. she was patient and gentle with our babies so i felt completely at ease while we were gone. i’d definitely recommend her!”
“Ni is amazing and super thorough with all the visits! She sent us plenty of pictures, including pictures of tasks being completed so you get a peace of mind. She is very patient and so good with all of them, our cats loved her, including our skittish girl. We have 3 cats and some of the instructions are not as straightforward but Ni followed them perfectly! Will definitely book her again for our future trips ☺️”
About: WELCOME TO MY COZY HOME Hi there, I’m Yichen. Along with my dog, Ube, I provide a dedicated, warm, and structured environment for your pups. I truly believe our dogs deserve to be spoiled with comfort, attention, and care, which is why I take my pet-sitting business very seriously. To give you complete peace of mind, I am fully insured as a professional pet sitter. When your dog stays with me, they are treated just like a member of the family. FYI: Rover doesn’t allow me to list pricing based on dogs’ size. Here’s a general breakdown for the price based on dog size: Small (22lbs and less): $50/night, $40 for day care. Medium (22lbs-32lbs): $60/night, $45 for day care. Large (32 lbs to 40 lbs): $65/night, $50 for day care. If your dog stays longer, discount might be offered. I also do provide discount case by case, so please reach out anyway if you need someone to take care of your pup. My schedules are pretty flexible. I am easy to be reached and happy to accommodate your dog's unique needs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I like to keep things social but highly manageable so every dog gets the attention they deserve. On average, I host a small group of 2 to 5 dogs for daycare or boarding. I have a wonderful community of regular, returning dogs who visit me frequently. This creates a very familiar, calm, and stable environment where the pups know each other and feel right at home. And your dog will be able to easily join too! This is a clean, safe, fully insured home where your dog's routine is respected.
“katrina has proven to be reliable and thorough with her care for atlas. she sent lots of photos and informational status updates that gave me great peace of mind. will definitely be booking with her again :)”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have been around dogs and cats for my whole life. I often pet sit for my friends and family when they're away! I’m really patient and caring, and I love going on walks, playing, and giving lots of attention. I’m very responsible and will make sure your pet is comfortable and well taken care of while you’re away. I’d love to get to know your dog and give them lots of love while you’re gone!🫶 My schedule is very flexible, I am home for the semester and working a part time job while taking online classes, which means I have a lot of free time to dedicate to your pets! I can accommodate to your pets routine and give them plenty of attention throughout the day! Whether watching pets in my home or yours the priority is keeping them comfortable and safe! When they stay with me they'll get plenty of company as well as a comfortable space to relax. When I visit your home I'll follow instructions and stick to their schedules, and make sure your space is respected and clean!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 5+ years for friends, family, neighbors, and clients. I absolutely love getting to know every pet’s personality! I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and cats to K9s and a 17-year-old dog who needed multiple medications and strict schedule. I also have 5 pets of my own (2 dogs and 3 cats), so I’m used to lots of love, different routines, and pets with all kinds of needs! Fun fact, I volunteer for rescue in puerto rico flying animals back to the states when I travel there. I’m currently in college, so my availability depends on my class schedule during the semester. However, when I’m home on school breaks, I’m completely available and would love to spend my time caring for pets! I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I follow each pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel comfortable in their own home. I’m respectful of your space, careful with instructions, and happy to provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!
“Christine could not have been more professional and fantastic. Marty is often a bit standoffish, but, in every picture we saw of him, he looked happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely be calling on Christine when we head out in the future!”
About: I personally have a 2 year old Siberian husky back in Colorado that I dearly miss. I have taken care of smaller dogs like Yorkies as well. I enjoy their company and taking them on walks I’m free mostly on weekends. If you need me to drop off or take them for a walk during week days, I can do so. I work from home Monday and Friday and Tuesday- Wednesday I’m at the office. I prefer to take care of pets in your home. I follow instructions and make sure that their meds/ food or walk requirements are all met.
“My trip was much more enjoyable knowing Kat was there to keep my cats company. The cats were happy and the house was well looked after as well! Thanks for everything, Kat!”
“Sarah looked after our shy but sweet cat while my husband and I were away on vacation and did a fabulous job! Our cat is slow to befriend, but I could tell he was comfortable right away at the meet and greet with Sarah. Sarah communicated often while we were in a faraway time zone, which was very appreciated! We would welcome her back any time for a house stay.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Oakton
Abby was simply wonderful. She visited our kitty, Sammie, twice a day to feed her. She and Sammie played, purred and took lots of pictures for us to see the smiles. She is so kind and caring and we felt great leaving our almost 16 year old kitty in her care while we were away. She went the extra mile and gathered some stray deliveries and mail for us. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Ten stars for Abby!
He is very reliable and response quickly. We had AC issue while we were away and he visited our house to feed our cat so we asked him to check the AC thermostat. He showed us the thermostat with his Facetime just like he did with our cat. It was helpful to confirm the thermostat was off.
Matt is an exceptional pet sitter who has taken care of our cats several times over the years. He has gone above and beyond to make it through snowy and icy weather and check on the animals despite the hazardous conditions. He and his wife Carolina are our go-to sitters.
Bristol was fantastic for drop in visits for both cats and dogs! She was a great help in finding a last minute pet sitter. She is very quick and responsive to messages and included detailed updates about our fur babies, and truly seemed to care about them. Would definitely recommend Bristol for all other pet needs, and will definitely be reaching out again if we need help in the future!!
Seth was absolutely amazing! The constant communication and the daily pictures and videos he sent make you very comfortable. When I came home everything was clean for my cat and left the place just like how we left it. I would definitely recommend Seth as I will be booking him more for the future

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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
