“Martha has been consistently amazing in taking care of our cats for the last couple years, including most recently on an international vacation where she went above and beyond to help us out. It’s such a relief to have someone like Martha who is so consistently great and whom we can trust with our house and kitty even when we’re out of the country.”
“Catrina was great! She did a week of drop-in visits for our cats, taking care of feeding, refreshing water, and litter cleaning. Our cats are shy, often never seen by cat feeders. As we had asked, Catrina did not invade their hiding places, but she was able to coax one to approach her -- something that we did not expect -- which gave us peace of mind knowing that they had felt safe with Catrina while we were away.”
“Kate did an amazing job taking care of my baby kitten, Bella! She provided frequent updates, which gave me peace of mind, and it was clear my kitten was in great hands. Her care and attention to detail were exceptional, and I truly appreciated her reassurance throughout. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“She did great! Some issues came up last minute and she handled everything with grace. She was able to get my anxious kitties to warm up to her. It was my kitties' first time being left alone, so I was worried, but her pictures and video updates left me reassured that they were doing well. When I got home, my kitties were unstressed and greeted me happily. Thanks again Katrina!!”
“Nina was extremely caring and friendly with my cat Siwon and a pleasure to communicate with as she was professional and prompt with responses. I felt very reassured knowing that she was our cat sitter while we were on vacation for two weeks. Thanks Nina!”
“Eliza was great at caring for our cat, two parakeet birds, one betta fish, and two snails for three weeks! Thank you so much, Eliza, and see you next time when we are out of town!”
“Sha provided fantastic care. She is extremely reliable, responds very aptly to any updates, and pays close attention to detail by following all of my specific instructions carefully. I would gladly book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Heater was amazing! She carefully followed all instructions and went above and beyond. She also provided plenty of updates and pictures. I would highly recommend her.”
“Nain took good care of our two kitties August and Celeste while we were away for the weekend. Came home to a clean home, she even started the dishwasher and cleaned the bedsheets for us. Thanks again!!”
“Abigail took care of my cat while my family was away for a short trip. Usually, my cat has a poor appetite when she’s alone, so Abigail’s company and updates were really helpful. Peace of mind during vacation is priceless, so thanks again, Abigail!”
“Marcela did a great job checking on my cat while I was away! She was great with communication and I was glad my cat was getting the love and attention she deserves. Would recommend!!”
“Boryana S. Was wonderful with Oreo. I needed help learning how to administer ear drops to my cat and Boryana handled Oreo with care and I was able to follow her lead and learn to do this on my own. This was Boryana’s first time here and Oreo immediately went to her and they bonded almost instantly. I highly recommend Boryana if You need help or babysitting for your pet.”
“Ami and James were lifesavers and did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. We really appreciated all their help and communication while we were gone, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for some pet care.”
About: ACCEPTING SAME DAY/ SHORT NOTICE BOOKINGS Hello!! I’ve had dogs and cats and pets of all kinds since I was a kid! So it’s over 20 years now 🥲 I have 5 years of experience as a volunteer for my local shelter, fostering kittens and dogs. I’ve cared for sick and skittish animals. I’ve personally had mostly small and medium shelter recuses, but I’ve cared for all types, big or small! I’ve had 3 cats for the last 10 years and I’m a certified cat lover 😻😻 I’ve also looked after guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and even frogs, so basically if it has fur, fins, or a tank, I’ve probably fed it at some point. I’m excited to look after your fur babies as well! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I keep a flexible, full-time schedule so I can be available whenever care is needed! I’m available for overnights, regular check-ins, and walks whenever your pet needs them, including weekdays and weekends. Whatever routine your pet is used to, I can work around it!! Since I care for pets in their own home, I can keep their routine exactly as it is if you were there. The same food times, same walk schedule, same rules. I’m careful about doors and gates, keep the home secure while you’re away, and treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own :))
About: I have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. As a longtime pet owner myself, I’m attentive to routines, behavior changes, and safety, and I focus on keeping pets comfortable, calm, and well cared for in a stress-free environment. I currently work a hybrid schedule and return to the office a few days each week. I plan pet care around my work hours and am available for visits after work on office days, with more flexibility on remote days. I always make sure visits are reliable, calm, and never rushed. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free while caring for them in their own home. I follow instructions closely, respect routines and boundaries, and maintain a clean, calm environment. I’m careful with doors, food, and litter areas, and I always prioritize safety, close observation, and clear communication with owners.
“Vee has taken care of our old cat a few times, and she’s been great! She gives him his pills, makes sure he gets lots of attention, and always keeps us updated. She’s very responsible and trustworthy, and I highly recommend her!”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. From the very first moment, it was clear that Ella truly understands cats—not just their routines, but their emotions, boundaries, and quiet language. My cats felt safe and genuinely cared for, which says everything. Ella has what I can only describe as soul cat energy: patient, intuitive, and deeply kind. She went above and beyond, not just making sure everything was done, but making sure my cats felt loved. Ella is a true star and a rare find.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Plainsboro
Catrina truly is amazing!! She took such amazing care of our cat while we were away for a long period of time. She sent great updates, pictures, and truly treated our cat like it was hers. Our cat doesn’t love a lot of people and she was obsessed with Catrina. Highly recommend!
This is the second time I have booked Jill and I will definitely be reaching out to her for my future pet sitting needs. Jill is extremely professional, friendly, helpful, and all around a great person to work with. She was patient and won the trust of my very shy adult cat and kept me well informed with updates and pictures while I was out of town.
Heather did an incredible job taking care of our cats. She was responsible and communicative. Our travel coincided with the recent blizzard; she adjusted her plans to visit before the storm hit and offered to visit again if we could not make it back in time. Needless to say, we were very happy with the care she provided.

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.
