“Abigail took fantastic care of my cat while I was away. She kept me updated and sent pictures. She made my first time leaving my cat at home for multiple days a stress free experience. I will definitely use her services again. So lucky to have found her.”
“Rosemary was an amazing caretaker for our two cats while we were out of town! She was always on time for check-ins, gave detailed reports of her visit & tons of photos. She went above and beyond caring for our cats (and finding them in their many hiding spots); we couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience.”
“Jillian took great care of our cat, Bentley, and kept our apartment in great shape! She always sends great photos and updates, and clearly loves spending time with the pets she’s taking care of :) We highly recommend booking with Jillian!!”
About: I have experience caring for animals ranging from livestock, domestic pets, and more exotic types. I have received formal schooling regarding large animal care. I have owned many different animals through out my life and most of my work has consisted of animal care. I have been pet sitting specifically for about 5 years. I’m currently an online college student and only work part time so my schedule is very flexible. I am comfortable with early mornings and multiple visits a day I am comfortable with handling animals whether anxious or rambunctious. Cleaning up messes, crating, exercise, etc., I am comfortable with. I am educated on checking animals health states, along with making simple assessments such as vitals and physical presentation should an animal have any injury or illness.
“Steven was great! He followed all instructions perfectly, including medication administration for 1 of my cats. He even spent some time playing with them during his visits. I would be happy to hire him again.”
“Selena took phenomenal care of my sassy tortoise cat, Darla! Darla can be very particular with her routine, but Selena rose to the challenge and ensured all her needs and tuna treat dreams were met!”
“Natalie was amazing. She took great care of my older cat, anticipating what he needed to be more comfortable. She sent updates and photos regularly and left the house clean and neat. Highly recommend!”
“Kat was great with Bella! Bella enjoyed the time that Kat spent with her. I enjoyed getting the pictures of Bella every time Kat came over while I was gone and seeing how happy Bella was! Thank you Kat for taking care of Bella and my mums!!!”
“Michael, is great! He is punctual and has a great attitude. He watched our 150 plus pound Cane Corso. He kept it simple when some would tend to complicate caring for such a large breed. Michael made it work for us and he made my trip more enjoyable. He did a great job!”
“Yuting was amazing! She provided me w regular updates and photos! I felt very comfortable and knew my cat was in good hands! I will definitely request her services again!”
“Metehan and Aya took great care of Mia and Mars. Aya shared videos and pictures for update everyday. Both our kitties quickly found their favorite spot and stayed comfortable and relaxed. Thank you!!”

Galina is caring, dependable, and incredibly attentive. I always feel completely at ease knowing my cat is in her care. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of, and it’s clear how much she genuinely loves animals. I highly recommend her!
Once again, Stacey was excellent in cat sitting Turbo. She was regular in reporting her visits and providing excellent pictures to capture Turbo’s activities. She reported on his eating habits and his cat box results. She demonstrated that she enjoyed Turbo and loved taking care of him. In sum, she was great. Thanks Stacey.
Erin checked in on our cats while we were out of town for a couple of days and she was amazing!! Went the extra mile to make sure our kitties were taken care of and sent lots of pics and updates. So grateful to have found her, we recently moved and finding a reliable, trustworthy sitter can be difficult. We will definitely be using Erin in the future.

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 .

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.
