“Wendy is always fantastic with our pets. She goes above and beyond scooping litter boxes and going on walks with the dog. She is the real deal. Well definitely have her back as long as she’ll have us.”
“So thankful for Heather watching our babies!! She spent time with them, tended to them, and provided us with updates and photos. Wouldn’t trust anyone else with our babies!”
“Hannah made me feel so safe leaving our puppies during a really hard time in our lives. We were in the process of moving but had to be at a wedding. Our dogs were freaked out about the total lack of anything in our house & then their parents left of top of that??? Hannah swooped in and ensured that with each visit she sent incredibly detailed information about their activities, what she did to take care of them & at least 4 pictures :) what a relief. I could not recommend Hannah highly enough. 5 stars seems too few ❤️”
“Sophia was a great sitter, followed guidance and always sent the cutest pictures of our furbabies! She was reliable and gave our two cats and 70 pound dog lots of attention and treats while we were gone.”
“Was willing to meet Cléo before booking which I really appreciate! Frequent and consistent updates at the requested times with plenty of photos for my mind and heart's ease. Thank you Jackson! 🥰🐱🐾🧶”
“Jessica was amazing to work with. We had a last minute get away and we were nervous about what the dogs would do while we weee gone. Jessica was kind enough to come meet the dogs with us home before we left. Within seconds it was easy to see how she loves animals and our dogs were at complete ease with her. We also had no concerns letting her into our home to play with the dogs while we were away. She had a very flexible schedule and was on time and punctual morning, afternoon or at night. She will be our go to dog helper and she should be yours too.”
“Samantha did such a great job visiting my cats who are very demanding. She really does a thorough and reliable job and is very kind. She communicates in a timely fashion which is great”
“Amazing experience with Lillian. She went out of her way to provide care and comfort to our pup over the holidays, giving us peace of mind while out of town. Definitely recommend her and will use her in the future.”
“I was on travel when I had a dog sitter bail at the last minute and left my dog stranded. Ashley was kind enough to jump in and help out. Truly can’t thank her enough. Took great care of my dog. Will have her dog sit in the future. Thank you again!!”
About: I’ve had all types of pets since I was a baby. I’ve had guinea pigs, birds, hamsters, cats, and dogs. I am an animal lover through and through. I have a pretty open schedule so I will always be able to make the time. If not then I will make sure to have that conversation with whoever I’m caring for. Whatever you ask I will do. I know all families situations are different. If they need to be crated I will. If they need to be let out I will. Just tell me what you need.
“Emma was great! She was flexible and understanding when I had to make some changes to my trip plans, took great care of my blind senior dog that requires meds and special attention, and she sent updates and pictures every visit. I know Dakota loved the company and having her take care of him while I was gone!”
“First time using a sitter for our baby astro and Caitlin was fantastic! She provided top-notch care, ensuring our furry baby felt loved and comfortable. Excellent communication, punctuality, and a genuine passion for animals made the experience worry-free. Highly recommend!”
“Hannah is doing an outstanding job taking care of Stanley for me while im away.. She is very responsible, she gives prompt updates and gives my boy lots of loving when she's there! I highly recommended Hannah and will continue to use her.”
“Jessica was an outstanding cat sitter, and we couldn't be happier with the care she provided for our two cats while we were away. Both of our cats are extremely shy around new people, so we knew it would take someone patient and attentive to care for them properly. Jessica did a wonderful job making sure all of their needs were met, even when they weren't eager to come out and socialize. She was dependable, communicative, and clearly experienced with cats of different personalities. We especially appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which gave us peace of mind while we were traveling. It was clear that she paid close attention to their well-being and made sure they were comfortable, fed, and cared for throughout our trip. When we returned home, our cats were happy, healthy, and relaxed. We are very grateful for the excellent care Jessica provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable cat sitter.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,607 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ponder. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ponder. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
