“Rose was great, and the detailed updates really helped put my anxiety at ease while being out of the country. I would be more than happy to have her pet sit again! Thank you for everything!”
“Jenna was amazing!! She cared for our cat Everest like her own. She gave great and detailed updates so I knew my cat was being well taken care of. Will absolutely use for future drop ins and pet sittings!”
“Thank you for visiting with our kitties they were well cared for and so cool Nina popped out to visit. They hide . They are so happy when we came home. We will let you know when we are going to travel again.”
“Jiawen!! You were such a dream to work with. She payed such close attention to our kitties who will miss her dearly. I loved all her notes and will definitely rebook in the future”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I have two cats of my own and started Rover because I truly miss having a dog around and love spending time with animals. I work full-time, but picked up Rovering to make some extra cash and also fullfill a dog-sized whole in my heart from living with them my whole life. I am available anytime after 4pm on weekdays and all hours on weekends. Because I have two cats at home, I currently only offer care in my clients’ homes. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs and want them to feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Kathryn was great with our cats (who warmed up to her faster than their usual), communicated super well, and was fastidious about care and cleaning. Would love to work with her again!”
“Mary noticed an alert from a smoke detector while we were away and made sure to alert me and report that it was taken care of at her next visit. She went out of the way to make sure it was a safe environment for my cat while i was out of the country. The piece of mind that gives is priceless.”
“Meghan did a great job. She was outstanding at communicating. She sent pictures and comments daily. Sometimes twice daily. I could not have had a better person taking care of my four black cats. It was particularly important since one of them, Lena a 16-year-old had recently gone blind. It was critical that she receive her medications to help her have any chance to recover her vision. Megan’s daily reports and pictures of Lena clearly showed the progress as Lena had started to regain her vision. I would gladly use Meghan again.”
“This was my first booking with Heather and she exceeded all of my expectations. She communicated clearly and gave me peace of mind while I was away. And went above and beyond in preparing the house for my return. And, I returned to a happy kitty. I will definitely book with Heather again.”
About: I’ve never lived without a dog, so I have life experience playing, feeding, walking, and bathing pups. I helped raise and train my parents’ Golden Retriever puppy during COVID. I’m the go-to sitter for friends’ dogs and have experience with giving oral medication safely. I work full time, but remotely on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays and can easily take a break to take care of your baby. Weekends are fully open, unless out of town. I treat each clients home with professionalism and ensure that I take care not only the pets, but leave no trace of me behind. Your house is your safe space and I will never spoil that for you.
“Olivia was great to watch my two kitties! She took excellent care of them and was very communicative in letting me know how things were going. Highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies.”
About: I take pride in making sure animals not only have their basic needs met but also can get the socialization and fun time they need (whether we are actively playing or sitting quietly together). My experience includes: - Dog care (bathroom breaks, feeding, puppy care, playing together, sitting together) - Feline care (refilling wet or dry food, refilling water, brushing coats, playing, sitting and spending time together) - Poultry care (including measuring and distributing feed, refilling water, cleaning coops, giving baths, general checks for infected feet or other ailments) - Equine care (including measuring and distributing feed, refilling water, refilling troughs, bathing, brushing, and hair braiding) - Medication administration (pills and liquid syringe orally) - Taking lots of update pictures of your friend to send to you! I am a contract filmmaker that does gig work, so if my profile is up and active I am available for your pet sitting needs! I am available for hire most days of the week, including weekends, so that you can travel and do what you need knowing your friend is comfortable at home and in good hands. Safety is the number one priority for myself and your friend and will be taken as upmost importance at all times. I understand that each animal has their own unique personality and lifestyle-- I make sure to carefully observe their behaviors and tendencies when providing care you need for them in order to keep them happy and comfortable. Please feel free to ask me questions at any time.
About: I grew up with cats, dogs and fish. As an adult I’ve personally cared for 1 large dog (Rottweiler/Pitbull/Labrador) and 2 cats. The dog was a troubled rescue that I trained and then found a permanent home. I help with my mother's aging Cocker Spaniel and share in the care of my partner's 3 cats. I run an eBay store, Door Dash on an ADV160, tend to Duolingo’s headquarter’s plants. My schedule is very flexible. When hired for house sitting I turn off my availability for drop-ins and walks. I live with 3 cats at the moment, black, white and grey. It’s like dancing to a meowing grey scale. They are spoiled, but just enough.
“Savannah was sweet, respectful, and attentive to my old cat Simba. She came twice as day as requested and kept me updated with lots of photos and videos while I was away. I felt very comfortable knowing I had her taking care of my sweet boy. Will definitely book with Savannah for any future catsitting I will need!”
“Christy was great! She sent lots of pictures and updates the whole time. Even my super skittish cat came out while she was there, so that's a big plus!”

Lucas was a wonderful pet sitter for my Ori- I would 100% book again. Communicative, punctual, and even accommodated for last minute travel plan changes and was able to extend the booking an extra day. Went above and beyond by cleaning his litter box as well. Thank you, Lucas! 😊
Ashley is very nice and I like her! She is very reliable! Thanks for taking good care of Nico!! I'm so glad you and Nico became friends!! I would love for you to watch Nico the next time I go away in April if interested! I would highly recommend Ashley to watch other pets! Thanks again Kim !!
Valerie is a conscientious and loving pet sitter and my dogs and cats love her visits. She maintains good communication both before and during visits so I feel comfortable leaving my pets in her capable hands. She goes above and beyond and I trust her with my 2 dogs and 2 cats.
Lindsey did an amazing job taking care of our 3 cats. She took it in stride that Zoe chose to hide under the bed every time she came to feed them. (Of course she came out on the last day.). Buddy chose to hide for several days too, and she spent time in our cluttered basement trying to lay eyes on him. Eventually he softened up though. Sammy was all in from the beginning, and he loves Lindsey. She spent time playing with the two boys, and made sure their wack-a-mole toy was charged up. She very thoughtfully left lights on inside the house for our return, which we greatly appreciated, as our flight was delayed and we didn't get home until 2am. So nice to not come home to a dark house, and everything looked really good. Lindsey is wonderful!
Kristiana did a great job. She reported it took a couple visits for everybody to warm up to her, but they did. We came home to happy, relaxed kitty cats ready to play with us. She also followed all our instructions/requests and kept us informed throughout our time away.
Vanessa took amazing care of our two cats while we were away, the daily photos showed happy playful kitties who were getting all the attention they craved! Clear communication and prompt arrival times the entire trip, I never had to worry and could fully enjoy our trip. Definitely would rebook with Vanessa.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
