“Leah was the the perfect sitter. I have a very skittish cat who does not come out when strangers are in the house, but Leah still sent pictures of her food bowls and made sure to check the house for anything amiss each drop in visit. She also brought my garbage cans and mail in, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be calling Leah again for our next trip.”
“I loved how wonderful you are in taking care of Finn. You took professional pictures and made Finn look like a model. I'm so glad he behaved with you. I would love to have you back if I need you again in the future.”
“Ariana did a great job with my three cats over the Christmas holiday. I was nervous to leave them, but she helped ease my anxiety. She was patient and flexible with my changing plans and followed instructions. Thanks, Ariana!”
“Stephanie is a true animal lover and was a fantastic sitter for our pets. We have two senior Siamese cats that require some extra care and she went the extra mile every day to make sure that they were well taken care of. She kept us updated with daily summaries of her visits and with photos, both of which we loved and looked forward to each day. We will definitely ask her to come back the next time we are away.”
About: I'm semi-retired but really like helping people out. I know having pets can be stressful when you are away. I am here to make it less stressful and let you enjoy your vacation or focus on your work while you are away. I am semi-retired so I am flexible most days of the week (within reason as I do maintain a tech consulting firm). Weekends are possible, again, with enough notice and based on my own travel schedule. My wife and I have two cats, and when people come to check in on our cats, we expect them to be attentive to the whole house. Is water running? Does anything look amiss? A pet sitter is your eyes and ears...even if you have cameras all over your house. Having a dependable person visit your house lets you enjoy your vacation or give you peace of mind during the workday.
About: I have over 20 years of experience taking care of my own, friends, family and others animals. I am well versed with dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and hamsters to name a few. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide consistent care, attention, walks, playtime, and companionship while keeping pets comfortable and on their regular schedule. I enjoy making pet care a rewarding part of my day. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I give each pet plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and individualized care while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. My goal is to make every pet feel right at home while their owners are away.
“Faith was amazing!! It’s always very anxiety inducing for me to leave my cats, especially since my one is very shy and easily startled. But she took such good care of them and even got my loner cat to come out for some love!! Faith is very communicative and I loved that she sent plenty of pictures each day. It’s obvious that she loves the cats and taking care of animals! I will not hesitate to book her next time I’m out of town :)”
“An Mei had a great week - I received pictures as well as feedback as to how she was adjusting to her new environment. Dawn took the time to make sure she ate & got pets😉 as needed. Definitely recommend and would use Dawn again!”
About: I grew up in a house with two cats, a dog, and even a few pet rats. Currently I have two indoor cats and a variety of wildlife that my roommates tell me I am allowed to feed but not allowed to bring inside. I have a little bit of experience with caring for reptiles, birds, and one hedgehog in addition to the more traditional pets. I find that I am particularly popular with large, energetic dogs who enjoy playing with someone "their own size" and anxious critters who need lots of reassurance. I recently completed graduate school and currently have lots of time to provide love, exercise, medication, and whatever else your furry friend may need while you are away. As an in-home sitter I always make sure to get complete instructions on where pets can or cannot go in the house/yard, approved treats, and any medication schedules along with vet information in case of emergencies.
“Katherine was absolutely amazing with my kittens. She was very thorough and considerate and kept me updated throughout the entire visit. I will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“Theresa was wonderful! She took great care of our kitties when we were away. Kept us updated with photos and descriptions of her visits. Very responsive via text/email. Will happily book again!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and consistent care. I currently have a German Shepherd and two cats of my own, so I’m experienced with both dogs and cats and the unique needs each pet has. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while ensuring they are always supervised and secure. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away!
About: We grew up with cats and have been cat lovers our entire lives! We currently have three cats of our own, Sophie, Milky, and Yolkie, who are truly part of our family. Over the years, we’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience caring for cats of different personalities and needs, including administering medications and looking after sick cats. We understand how important it is to pay attention to the little details, from changes in appetite and litter box habits to subtle differences in behavior. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or loves cuddles, we’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We’re happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medications, and anything else your kitty may need. We know how stressful it can be to leave your cats behind, so we’ll treat them just like our own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages. Your cats’ happiness and well-being will always be our priority! Taking care of your pet is my full time job no matter the day or week. Unlike many others, I am able to make sure that your pet has my attention 24/7. We are in a 3 story townhome with plenty of space to explore! Your pet is allowed to roam anywhere they please inside and the entire house is pet-friendly. We have a small front yard but it is not fenced so we will definitely make sure they are not outside without a leash. We always make sure the leash your dog before leaving the house. I will be there 24/7 with your dog to play and tend to there needs. Plenty of walks!
“Gabrielle took wonderful care of our cat, Izzy, while we were out of town. She stopped by for the initial meeting, sent a thorough summary of all that we discussed, and then kept me informed daily as to how things were going. She not only took great care of Izzy, including giving her daily medication, she also managed to make friends with her! Izzy is normally very uncomfortable around people outside of our family so that was a real accomplishment. Gabrielle also watered our plants daily. I will definitely call on her again for future pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have been a trusted sitter to friends and family for many years! I’m patient with shy pets and playful with more outgoing personalities! I work a full time 9-5 schedule but can do drop-ins and walks before and after work! Also available in specific weekends with prior notice! I currently have my own pets so I can only visit animals in their homes but I like to tailor my approach to match the pet’s personality and the owners specific needs!
“Jasmine is always awesome with our cat. She’s great with giving her her meds and getting her to take her inhaler, and I always feel better about leaving her knowing that Jasmine will make sure she’s loved.”
“Booked Matilda for a second time and she was great! I love how much she communicates to keep you in the loop on everything and asks questions about anything she needs. She’s been great, super easy to work with, and can trust that she’ll do the job well. Would recommend and definitely book again!”

Catherine was great! She took good care of our cats and fish, and generally kept an eye on the house. She sent photos every day, along with a little write up about the visit Even our normally reticent cat Sophie warmed up to her. We were glad we found Catherine, and will definitely use her again.
Always a pleasure working with Jeannie. She goes above and beyond! My cat adores her. He runs to greet her at the door. She spends lots of time letting him just cuddle and pur on her lap. She's even been kind enough to keep an eye on my house. Get the mail, and I noticed, she tidied up my messy family room! Thank you again! I look forward to working with you again. I know Buki will be happy to see you!
Leah did a fantastic job watching our two cats. Our cats can be challenging—one is very shy and one eats everything but is very social. Leah did an amazing job meeting both cats’ needs and making them both feel comfortable and cared for. Both our cats got a lot of love while we were out and Leah went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. She sent a ton of updates as well which also made our day better. It made our vacation all the better knowing that everything was taken care of at home. We would definitely recommend Leah’s services and we’re hoping to hire her again in the future.
Jaemin dropped in on my senior cat for 10 days over the holidays. He and his wife came for a pre-booking visit and were great about asking lots of questions and making sure they had all the relevant info. My cat was skittish and didn’t come out on any of the visits but Jaemin always made sure she had fresh food, water, and litter box. He also brought in my mail and took the trash bins down. Would definitely call him again anytime I need a cat sitter. Highly recommend!

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.
