“This was our second time with Shanley, and would absolutely recommend her again. Very thorough, good communication and knows how to approach/work with our nervous kitty. She's also very helpful with other household tasks if needed. We won't hesitate to hire Shanley again in the future if availability works out!”
“Jennifer was fantastic and personable. She responded immediately to help get on the same page. I feel like checking in on our cats and making sure they had food and water probably isn’t the most intensive gig, but it required more back and forth than I would have guessed. She easily adapted to what we wanted and our texts back and forth were easy and humorous like we’d known each other already. She went above our admittedly pretty simple requests best of all, our sometimes standoffish cats seemed to be at ease with her from the photos she sent daily. Would absolutely book her again.”
“Christine did an amazing job. She was the 3rd cat sitter I hired on a trip from here. The first two pretended that they were busy but in reality they didnt want to deal with the fact that my cat was pooping outside of the kitty liter. Christine took care of that without complaints and let me borrow her automatic cat dispenser. She was very much invested in making sure my cat was as comfortable as possible! I recommend her.”
“Cindy is an amazing sitter and went so far above and beyond what is expected of a sitter with our cat Tayah during her final days. She took her to an emergency vet for us and even stayed with her overnight until we could return to spend her final moments with her. Unfortunately nothing could be done to save Tayah (Kidney failure), but Cindy ensured she hung on until we were able to return and spent her final moments with her. We highly recommend Cindy and will for sure use her when we get out next cat.”
“Zsa-Zsa is communicative and was so thoughtful in her approach to the process—offering a pre-sit meet-and-greet and to learn how to care for my cat. I got pictures and a really-fun-to-read note everyday about the visit that made me feel super reassured! Would absolutely love to work with her again in the future.”
“Marian was wonderful! On somewhat short notice, she was able to accommodate a meet and greet. She was very organized, and made sure to promptly ask us questions when they came up as well as detailed updates with cute pictures. She quickly gained the trust of our cats, especially our younger one who can be shy and skittish. Highly recommend!”
“Tommy was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Nala! He is reliable, friendly and kept in great communication while doing check ins. I came home to a happy and relaxed cat. I will definitely be booking again 🐈🤎”
About: Hi everyone, I work in mental/behavioral health and am saving up for graduate school! I am very passionate about animals, especially dogs and cats. I moved to California from the Netherlands a few years ago. I am looking for new pet sitting clients in the East Bay or San Francisco. I can do overnight pet sitting as well as walks or visits during the day. I also live right by Lake Merritt so if you live nearby, I’d love to take your dog on walks around the lake. A full loop around the lake takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes (a little over 3 miles). I can pick up and drop off your dog at your house. I have several years experience in cat sitting as well as several years dog sitting and dog walking (middle-aged Labrador, middle-aged German Shepard mix, and puppy Border Collie). I will start working swing shift in a few weeks so I will be available to pet sit during the morning/early afternoon. I can do overnight pet sitting as well as walks or visits during the day. I can take care of pets at my apartment but I don’t have a backyard so I would take them outside on a leash around the neighborhood or to a park or Lake Merritt.
“Shelly was fantastic taking care of our cat with empathy, humor and engagement. This was no small feat. We also appreciated that she was consciously aware and respectful of our space too. I hope she’s available the next time we need her.”
“Emilia-Laura was absolutely amazing as a sitter for our two cats - she truly went above and beyond. The cats loved her (even the one who’s normally shy!) and they got so much play time and attention. She wrote extremely detailed notes and took great photos, which was so nice to see and eased our anxiety immensely while we were on the longest trip we’ve been on since having them. Would absolutely try to book her again if she has availability!”
“Laura is a great cat-sitter, don’t hesitate to hire her! We needed last-minute holiday visits for our two kitties and Laura answered right away and was so on top of things. She was super easy to get in touch with and very helpful. Thanks, Laura!”
About: Experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I grew up with two pitbulls from puppyhood to old age, and I currently have a 10 year old chihuahua mix. I worked full time in animal care for 3 years. I'm currently an in-home healthcare provider for children with special needs, so I am very familiar with the power of kindness, patience, and play for animals and people alike. I typically start my workday around 2 pm, yet I have trouble sleeping in and will be out walking my dog around 7 am. My free time in the mornings allows for walks, training, and snuggles to be part of my daily routine. I am someone who likes having structure to follow and will respect procedures and expectations. Personally, my dog is crate trained and he will make sure that I tuck him in at the correct time every night, and I make sure he doesn't go places where he isn't allowed.
“Annah is always communicative and reliable. Knowing that I can rely on her to take excellent care of Goldie while I am gone helps alleviate one of the most stressful parts about traveling.”
About: Ciao! My name is Matt and I'm very excited to have the opportunity to meet you and some of the amazing pets we have here in the city. I currently live near the rose garden/Piedmont. I live close to several other parks, and I always enjoy meeting new pet friends that come my way. I really don't have many restrictions, but all I ask is that if you are interested in meeting to discuss my services that we have great communication (whether it's email, call/text, etc.) I work from home during the week and actively get outside myself, so I'm sure we could work something out if you need help with your pet! Comfort and exercise go hand-in-hand in my experience. Play time and treats are always possible. Companionship is a must and routine is our next best friend.
About: I grew up on a farm, taking care of many kinds of animals with many needs. As an adult, I’ve had pets of my own, most recently a big 80lb lab mastiff pupper, have had him for 5 years now, and a loving cat that we rescued 6 months ago. When I lived in ky, I’d constantly watch my neighbors dogs and other friends dogs/cats periodically when they would go on trips/vacation. I want to take the passion that I have, and turn it into some extra cash, while putting your mind at ease. Your pets will have an amazing time and you can relax or accomplish what you need done. 🙂 I’ve lived in Oakland for 3 years now and have a plan with my partner to move out in the next 3+ years. As of now, I am a stay at home father of a dog obsessed kid, and looking mainly for walking/jogging gigs with kid friendly dogs. 😁 Will play with, walk, feed/water, nurture, brush, etc, as needed while you are away. I’ll treat your pet with the love, respect, and care that you would.
“Adam was a great catsitter. He promptly checked in at the specified time every evening and sent photos and updates. Adam was very responsive via text throughout the process. My cat Scout was healthy and happy when I got home from my trip. Adam was also open to a meet and greet before I made the final booking, which I appreciated.”
“I highly recommend Emma for taking care of your kitty! She is wonderfully kind, thoughtful, and super detail oriented. Her communication is prompt, supportive and clear. Most importantly my shy kitty, Jasper, loves her and I could see how he trusts her very quickly. She’s got magic for the shy guys. I feel so much ease when I know she’s caring for him 😻”

Liz is the best! This was my second time having her watch Caper and Tiggy, and she took such great care of my boys. She’s super communicative, and I love getting her updates and pictures after each visit. It’s always so nice knowing they’re in good hands while I’m away. I’ll definitely keep booking Liz!
Kristy was great with our clingy orange guy 🐈 ! She communicated well when she noticed issues with the house (a planter pot breaking outside and the cat barfing on our white rug 🤦🏼♀️) and she left the house clean and tidy / followed instructions about recycling / cat food & plate cleaning etc! Recommending her if you’re looking for a reliable cat sitter who follows through!
Cameron is the best. I feel so much better knowing he’s there with my boys. It’s nice to get away, but I do miss my kitties and worry that they will be lonely without me. Cameron spent quality time with them and ensured they felt the love while I was away. It was so nice to get his updates and see that they were being well cared for. I highly recommend Cameron.
Fernando was great, and I would definitely book with him again! I was out of the country for two weeks and felt like my two cats were in good hands the whole time. He was very communicative and responsive, and was great about coordinating his visits with the big time difference so I could still get updates while I was away. He followed all of my instructions carefully and took great care of my cats. I would definitely recommend him and book with him again!

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.
