“This was our second time having Nina care for our bunny. Outstanding experience, will continue to rebook her. Her communication is excellent. She took fantastic care of our pet and even alerted us to a home issue and helped to resolve it in our absence. Exceeded expectations!”
“Charlotte was so awesome! She learned how to do Stonks' insulin and gave him a lot of love and attention. When he ended up getting sick, she was extremely communicative and took extra time out of her day to watch him and keep me updated as I made the trek back home. Would absolutely use her again!”
“My introduction to ROVER was a very positive one. First of all, Shanta did a great job of communicating what we could expect and the services she provides. During the 5 days we were on vacation, I always knew I could call or text to see how our cat, Simon, was doing. In fact, she even sent us pictures of Simon during his stay. And when we needed to pick him up earlier than expected, Shanta was very accommodating. Overall, it was a good experience.”
“I highly recommend Jeff if you need a pet sitter. It is very dependable and I don’t need to worry when I am out of town. He sends an update after each visit with photos. I appreciate the care he takes with my cats.”
“Jessica did a wonderful job taking care of our 4 cats. From the moment I first contacted her, she was willing to come meet all of our cats and see our home before we were away. She was always on time and able to administer topical medicine for one of our cats everyday. We also appreciate that she took out the trash on her last day. We would be happy to have her back to take care of our babies!”
“Every time I have Meranda watch my kitties she sends so many pictures which I love so much! She’s so careful and her attention to detail and updates are so appreciated when I’m away from my girls.”
“Daniel saved me over a holiday weekend when another sitter canceled at the last minute! He was very communicative and my cats enjoyed having him stop by. Couldn’t recommend him more!”
“We had Monica let our dog out a couple times while we were gone for an overnight. She was great! We didn't have a chance to meet before hand as it was a last minute request but I was able to leave a key and instructions. She was great with our dog, filled his food and water, let him out, took him for a little walk, and even sent us a photo/updates. Would definitely recommend her if you need someone to care for your dog!”
“Jessalyn was amazing with Mr. Donut. She came to meet him and took detailed notes of the instructions for his care. I felt calm being away from home and knowing she was taking great care of him. Thank you so much!”
“Mark was very patient and understanding with Zeke! It was clear that he has lots of expertise around dogs and is responsive to their needs. Mark also communicated well with me and went above and beyond to care for Zeke! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, I am naturally quiet and calm so dogs especially are very comfortable around me. I’ve cared for dogs, cats and horses while their humans were away for 40 plus years and I am reliable and thoughtful with every visit. I’m retired and spend most days gardening with my dogs so I’m very flexible. It’s easy for me to make time to add pet care to my schedule. I care for my clients pets per their direction and request adding in lots of kindness and praise. I arrive on time ready to engage with them.
About: I’ve lived and loved cats and dogs of all ages all my life! I currently have three cats and a snake at home, and I know how hard it is to leave them behind when traveling. I have 10+ years of experience watching pets for family and neighbors who have peace of mind knowing their pets are loved while they’re away! I’m a full time researcher and master’s student, and am available in the early mornings evenings after 3pm and all day on weekends. My schedule would work best for pets that can be alone for 8 hours during the week while I’m at work. I can be very flexible with a pets individual needs. I love to cuddle and give affection to animals that seek it, but I also understand when space is necessary to build trust and respect. I love spunky, energized cats and dogs just as much as the lazy loafs!
About: I’ve recently graduated out of scarlet oaks veterinary assisting, and while in the program i’ve learned all about canine and feline health and signs to watch out for! I also am very attentive to detail so any change in their mood will catch my eye! I love to provide animals with the care they deserve ! I’m currently working part time, but i’m also able to give ur pet the love they deserve on a daily! I’m free for drop ins weekdays from 8am - 10pm and home stays weekdays and weekends ! I make sure to always to respect the place of the client and give the pets the cuddles and love they have been waiting for! I’m attentive to details so any change in a situation between dogs i will know how to handle! Im experienced with more than 1 dog at a time and they were pit bulls!

Charlotte was so awesome! She learned how to do Stonks' insulin and gave him a lot of love and attention. When he ended up getting sick, she was extremely communicative and took extra time out of her day to watch him and keep me updated as I made the trek back home. Would absolutely use her again!
We are repeat clients of Lisa, and she always goes above and beyond. Very communicative and loving with my four cats. Lisa takes the time to learn their personalities. She cares about details and is very organized. This time, she even washed one of my cat's blankets after an accident and left some delicious cookies for us. Lisa, thank you very much!!!!
Maggie is a lovely person! She obviously loves cats and was very sweet to my kitty. She also came over for a meet and greet before I went out of town where we could work through some of the kinks to get into my apartment, send videos when she got there, and let me know everything went okay. I would very much recommend her for any catsitting!
I’m really glad Anissa was available to watch my cats the following week. Doing two back-to-back trips was stressful, but I knew I was in good hands. We were able to work out some minor kinks in their care, and it made for a smoother visiting time! She was so good with Azula, and I got plenty of pictures (pictures of Mitski were occasionally included, as long as she was behind the washing machine). :)

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.

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.
