“Kelcy was great during the drop-in visits and throughout the whole process! She kept me informed and took care of my pets while I was gone. Great experience, definitely recommend!”
“Vinh is absolutely wonderful. This was our first time having him take care of our babies and he was very attentive to the needs of our pets. Including two of which that are special needs. We would highly recommend him and will definitely request him in the future.”
“Steph was extra attentive to our cat and our house needs! She was respectful, caring and very attentive to detail. Steph provided a beautiful blog post for us every morning and we enjoyed the many photos! Thank you again for all you did!!”
“Andrey is amazing! He showed up right on time to meet and greet my pups. He’s very sweet, kind and showed great attention to detail in regards to caring for my crew. My senior dogs need a lot of love and he took such great care of them. He was very communicative, sending me pictures and updates of how my dogs were doing each day. He even kept my home neat and tidy. Andrey was a fabulous choice and I will continue to have him watch my dogs again in the future.”
“Huge thanks to Nadya for taking such great care of our fur babies over Juneteenth week! The daily updates and pics were the best, and our cats were totally calm and content when we got home. You’re the best!”
“Tiffany was great taking care of our two kitties! She is trustworthy, prompt, and followed all instructions to the tee. Great communication and will be booking with her again. I know Seaweed and Coral are in good hands when we are away :) Thanks Tiffany!”
“Daisy took wonderful care of our two cats, Leaf and Nugget, for seven days while we were away. We reached out on fairly short notice, and she was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with from the start. She was professional, reliable, and very kind throughout the entire week. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats, which gave us great peace of mind while we were traveling. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about animals and treats them as if they were her own. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and would absolutely recommend Daisy to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. We look forward to having her watch Leaf and Nugget again in the future!”
“Maria watched our fluffy, 6 year old girl for ~10 days while we were out of town, dropping in to check on her twice a day, and we couldn't be happier with how everything went! We received daily updates with pictures so we knew our girl was happy and getting some much-needed attention. Maria watched Kasha for an extended period previously which is why we requested her this time, and we will continue to request her in the future for our cat-sitting needs.”
About: I’m proud to say I love pets more than people! 🐾 I’m currently the very proud owner of a double foster fail, so I truly believe every pet deserves all the love, attention, and belly rubs they can get. As a fire wife looking to get out of the house and make some new furry friends, I’d love nothing more than to spend my time loving on your pets while you’re away. Your pets aren’t just animals—they’re family, and I’ll treat them that way! My 6 year old mutt Rupert is my best friend. Daily life with him looks like plenty of walks, fetch, and cuddles - specifically under a blanket. My husband is a firefighter. He works almost every other day, so I’m looking to pick up shifts when he is home, any time of day! Friends have trusted me to make custom meals for their pets - coconut oil, ground turkey, canned pumpkin, etc. They have trusted me to take and pick up from vet visits, administer flea medicine, and assist in grooming. Most of my visits are dropping in and feeding/ playing. I like to think I know when or how much the dog wants to play, puzzle stimulation, or relax. It’s extremely important for the pet to trust me and feel comfortable.
“Jodi was perfect for watching our kitties! They can be a bit shy but she did a great job making sure they were comfortable! She was very communicative and responsible. Would rebook again in a heartbeat!”
“Sarah was amazing with my two cats! From the moment I met her, her calm and kind energy set all of us at ease. My high energy cat and fluffy scaredy cat both took to her immediately. She was caring, on time, sent cutest pictures and left the house tidy. I would recommend her to all my friends!”
“She’s very nice and has a lot of patience knowing my cat is hellaaaa fiesty. She managed to take care of him and made my cat Yolo comfortable at her place. She even updated me about my cat. I will definitely let you babysit my Yolo again. Thank youuu so much. You’re appreciated Blanka ?”
About: I've taken care of family pets for more than twelve years and had owned two chihuahuas. I can bath, walk, and play with them and keep them company. I currently own the cutest pug named Lily. I am a travel medical assistant with open availability due to it being a slow season. I like to walk every morning to the park or the farmers markets on Saturdays. If you have a fencing yard or crate, I can let them out for walks and for play. If you need help bathing or administering any medication, I'd be more than happy to help you.
About: I have always had animals growing up. My family and I had 5 dogs in my house at once. On top of the necessities of course, I would love to take your dog to the beach, walk to dog park, or just hang out at home. I have experience with anxious dogs as my Great Dane has separation anxiety, however I have found play time and lots of pets to be the best cure! Between my boyfriend and I, one of us is usually always home. We love to give our Great Dane as much company as we can to show our love. Since I have a super friendly, playful Great Dane it would be perfect for him to have a play mate for home and at the beach or park. I have a nice side yard with turf and a patio that we always play with our Great Dane in. Besides the opening to the driveway, it is partially fenced in. The back yard has a tall gate if your dog needs to be fenced in to play.
About: Hi! I’m Jeanette, and I love spending time with furry friends of all kinds! I’m active and enjoy taking dogs on walks and runs, so your pup will get plenty of exercise and adventure. I’m also a total cat person - I’ve had 3 cats of my own and currently have an adorable Shih Tzu at home. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether your furry friend loves energetic playtime or prefers quiet cuddles, I’ll give them the care and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pet like family! I currently have a lot more availability and more flexible and open to whichever time works for you let me know, and we can talk more about it. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I ensure they receive their meals, medications, and exercise exactly as specified by you. I respect your space and privacy, making sure to leave your home as neat as it was when I arrived. Regular updates and photos keep you connected to your pet’s day-to-day activities. Safety is paramount, so I always ensure that all doors and gates are secure, and your pet is safe at all times

Steph is so kind, thorough and loves our sweet fur babies…they love her so much that I honestly think that they miss her when we come back from vacation! She went over and above every little detail that I left for her to take care of. The only reason that I feel comfortable taking a vacation is because I know that our pets are being cared for by Steph. I love receiving the sweet photos daily from her…it’s such a treat to see them looking so happy and well cared for while we’re away!! Thank you again Steph, you truly are the best!!!
Jeanine did an awesome job taking care of our 1-1/2 year old cat while we were on vacation for 2-1/2 weeks. She is very conscientious and reliable and quickly befriended our pet. He was in very good hands with her and we will definitely utilize her services again in the future. Well done Jeanine and thank you!
Upon meeting Sophia, you could immediately tell that she is a very kind and caring person. She kept me updated throughout my trip and even made sure I made it home safely. I highly recommend Sophia and would absolutely have her watch my cat again. I hope to have the opportunity to schedule with her again in the future!
Sarah is the best pet sitter EVER. EVER. She can handle any & all issues and does so without contacting you needlessly while you're away. I've never felt so secure having someone in my personal space and caring for my pets, plants & home as I do with Sarah. Book with her. You'll be so glad you did!!!

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.

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.
