“We had such a wonderful experience with Pam watching our kitty! This was our first time using the app, so naturally we had some concerns, but we felt completely at ease after meeting Pam. She took the time to learn all about our kitty’s care and kept us updated each day with photos, which we looked forward to every evening while we were on vacation. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our kitty was in such good hands. I would not hesitate to book Pam again. Thank you so much, Pam!”
“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!”
“All was well with Nicole on the job!!! Enjoyed total peace of mind during our daughter's wedding knowing that Nicole was caring for Thor and Luna with skill and compassion. Thank you, Nicole!”
About: I have been rescuing dogs since my grad school and taking care of them. I bathe, feed, walk them and even taken them camping. Currently one of mine is oldie and I have to give him medicine and I know how to do so. He also requires patient slow walks but I enjoy them too. I am retired now so I have plenty of time to take care of your pup and walk him. I have four rescues of my own. I can walk your dog and visit him at your home. I can feed him and take care of water during these hot days. I like long walks so if the pup likes walks we can both enjoy them. I can handle two well behave doggies at a time even larger size as I walk mine in pairs. I can play with him or take him to doggie park if he is dog friendly. I have four rescues of my own so boarding is not possible.
“Jinni took a very good care of Tigra. She is very responsive, and it was easy to onboard, communicate and followed feeding instructions. Looked like my cat loved being with Jinni a lot!”
About: I have raised and cared for pets most of my life. Primarily with dogs and cats, however I have also cared for iguanas, turtles and more. Our pets are our family, I know how hard it is to leave them so let me help fill this time for you. I work from home and arrange my own schedule so I can easily work around your pet’s needs. Let’s connect to see how I can be of assistance. I have a loving pup at home that loves having friends over. Can allow your pet to roam free or crate, whatever you feel more comfortable with. Also more than happy to offer drop in visits, walks or stay with your pet in their own home.
“Lauren was great! I was able to book her the night before for our kitties. Lauren was super responsive and sent multiple pictures and videos. It was very comforting to know they were doing well and in good hands. Will definitely book again next time we need a sitter.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs my whole life! I am a true animal lover and my mom is a specialist in zoology and marine biology so she has definitely taught me animal care:) I also used to have a dog that had diabetes so I know how to take their blood sugar and give insulin. I work a typical day job, so I am free times before and after those days or on my days off any time. I can be flexible and work with you on your schedule. I can do drop bys, feed them, walk them, play, anything you need! And if you’d like to meet beforehand to feel more comfortable I am absolutely open to do so.
“Yangyan was very pleasant to deal with and clearly loves cats. We got regular updates and photos and my cat was treated with much kindness. I strongly recommend Yangyan and will use her services again !”
About: I have hands-on experience with reactive dogs, having raised and trained two of my own. I know how much patience, consistency, and calm energy it takes to help a nervous or reactive pup feel safe, and I’ve spent countless hours on exposure work and training to do just that. Whether your dog is shy, anxious, or still learning their manners, they’re in understanding hands with me Caring for dogs is part of my daily rhythm. Between my own dog and the time I spend on walks and play, dogs are always in my schedule. I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and giving your pup the time and attention they deserve I’ll always come to you, where your dog feels safest. I’ll follow whatever routine your pup already knows, and when we’re walking, my phone stays in my pocket so your dog has my full attention. I always keep the leash secure and lock up before I go. If your dog is reactive, you’re in good hands. I’ve had two reactive dogs of my own, so I know how to stay calm, read the signs, and move them away from triggers before things get to be too much. Either way, you’ll get photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and safe
“Emily did check ins on our senior cat Lucy while we were away for a long weekend. She administered gel medication into Lucy’s ear, cleaned up litter boxes and gave her fresh food. We received daily updates with photos and messages. Emily is personable, reliable, punctual and loves and cares about kitties. Thank you Emily!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of many kinds for about 10-12 years now! I've taken a course on training dogs through Dog Academy, so I have a bit of experience with training younger pups! I'm pretty available most days, I'm doing college classes online so my schedule is open! I share a car with my husband however, so sometimes I am only available after 3 pm if he doesn't work from home I always make sure to keep pets from running through the door when I arrive at the client's house. When walking dog's I correct any harsh pulling so their throat doesn't get damaged. I always keep an eye and an ear out for any unusual behavior or sounds!
“Viktoriia is absolutely amazing and Cruz loved her! She exceeded my expectations and was so great with communication. She connected a minimum of 3 times a day and sent photos/videos every time. She left the house extremely clean and even welcomed me home with flowers. She is on the top of my list and I will absolutely be reaching out for future needs! Highly recommend!!”
About: I have two dogs of my own, and have grown up my entire life around animals. I've done work in equine care and facilitating young children around animals. I am a full time college student so I do have classes that I have to attend. I am available all day weekends and Fridays. Feel free to ask me what my current weekday schedule looks like and how it would fit best with yours. I can provide walking, feeding, house sitting, and even overnight sitting if requested. I love animals of all kinds and I can't wait to meet yours.
About: I love all animals, big and small! I will love and care for your pet like my own. I’ve had all different types of animals from dogs to cats to reptiles and gerbils since I was a child. I have vet care experience and currently work in healthcare. I’ve house sat for friends and family with dogs, cats, snakes, chickens and more. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to check on and or walk your dog(s) anytime and any day durning the week. I am a trustworthy individual who will love and care for your pet as if they were my own. Your pet and I will be best friends in no time!
About: I have owned reptiles, amphibians, dogs, cats, birds and other furry critters my whole life. My passion really does live with animals so honestly, this is more of an opportunity to spend time with animals for me and I am hoping after college to work in the animal behavior field. Take care of it fits into my routine, especially in times after six but other times could work because I never work later than six. When I am free of work I am completely available I have a fenced backyard and I am able to take them on as many walks necessary because we have two parks nearby. My pets are all super friendly and sweet however if a pet isn’t comfortable around others I do have another house five minutes away I could always go to instead so either works!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Poway
Pam was wonderful with Minnie! She communicated very well, paid close attention to details, and even made an effort to get Minnie to play, which isn't always easy since Minnie isn't much of a playful kitty. I really appreciated her patience, attentiveness, and the care she showed Minnie during her visit. I would definitely recommend Pam!
Nicole is an outstanding kitty care team member! She gives us such peace of mind with daily photos and factual, succinct comments about behavior, feeding, play, etc. Nicole is especially good at providing whatever each individual cat actually needs. Since we have an active, playful big boy on a diet AND an super senior queen cat with a delicate digestive system, we really need someone who can respond effectively and consistently to both challenges and the answer is Nicole! Grateful to be working with her :)
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 .
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 .

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.

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.
