“Felix was awesome! He goes above and beyond my expectations without even the need to communicate anything with him. He got so friendly with my Bella, they played all the time and he was amazing at sending photos and videos so I knew how my kitty was doing. I found the place looking better than when I left and Bella looks happy and well fed and looks like she had a great time. I am so grateful for Felix”
“If she’s available: don’t think twice about booking Criss! Criss was wonderful! Not only did she show our cat excellent and thoughtful care, she was mindful of our apartment and kept everything tidy. She even stayed calm and handled a high-stress situation with grace. Our cat took to Criss right away. She was very communicative and provided tons of photos, which was so lovely when we were missing our little guy! Her photos also demonstrate each step of her time in your home, and communicate that all of steps your pet may require (for example: litter box cleaning, dish cleaning, toys being put away where needed, etc.). 10/10.”
“Bergen was amazing with my cat! She kept me updated with photos and messages every visit, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty. She went above and beyond and made sure my cat felt loved and comfortable. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Xilin is super responsible and attentive, and she followed every instruction perfectly. She took wonderful care of my cat and sent daily Rover cards with lots of pictures and videos, which made me feel so reassured while I was away. I would 100% book her again. Highly recommend!”
“I cannot recommend this sitter enough! They took absolutely wonderful care of my cat, Anya. They were incredibly responsible and detail-oriented—making sure to refill her dry food, top off her automatic water fountain, and even fill up her extra water bowls. They also gave her the exact treats I left out (freeze-dried treats and Temptations) and spent a long time actively playing with her. In addition, they also sent me the most beautiful, high-quality photos of her! I felt completely at ease. Highly, highly recommend!”
“We’ve used Helen multiple times and couldn’t ask for a better sitter! She’s friendly, reliable, flexible and communicative. We always feel completely at ease knowing our cat is well cared for while we’re away. Highly recommend her!”
“Mackenzie took wonderful care of our cat for an extended period of time. After every visit, she sent us detailed updates that gave us great peace of mind. We truly can’t thank her enough. Thanks to her, we never had to worry about our cat while we were away. Since she is a cat owner herself, she built a great bond with our cat. I would highly recommend Mackenzie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Alanna did a great job looking after my cat. She dropped in regularly, sent me a photo, and gave me updated details about her every day. When I returned, kitty looked well fed and happy and the house looked orderly and clean.”
“Julissa followed all instructions, and kept me informed the four days we were away. She took good care of my very shy, older cat. Everything was so tidy when I came home! I will definitely hire Julissa again.”
“Kathy came over on short notice and we were able to arrange her services to feed my shy cat, Cody. By the second day they were friends. She has lots of experience and easily followed all instructions. I would definitely use Kathy again!”
“Yujie watched my two cats while I was away for almost 10 days, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She was very communicative, sending updates and photos regularly, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was traveling. I would absolutely book with Yujie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy”
About: I've been around animals almost my whole life. I volunteered at an animal shelter in high school, have had cats of my own since 2013, pet sat cats and dogs for friends and family, and have had experience raising kittens as well as experience in TNR. Starting in late August I will be unable to visit your pet between 8am-1pm during the week as I am a part time preschool teacher. However, I can spend all weekend taking care of your pet. Even though I am working part time, I am more than happy to spend as much time as possible with your pet when you're not able to so they have company until you return home! As a life long animal lover, I understand pets are more than just an animal, they're part of the family. I take time to get to know each pet and will do all I can to ensure that they are always safe in my care, whether during a walk or pet sitting in your home.
“Another amazing experience with Poppy! She did a last-minute drop-in visit for my cat. My cat trusts her (cat is shy and doesn’t let people get close to take photos, but she let Poppy get close); I trust her too!”
“Pouneh is awesome. She sent pictures of my cat when she got here and pics of other things I asked for. My cat likes her and I felt comfortable with her being in my home. She really loves animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone that likes attention to detail and most importantly wants great care for your animal.”
About: I’ve always been someone who naturally loves being around animals. I grew up with two dogs in my family and later had my own cat, who was a huge part of my life. What I love most about pets is how they give back even more love when you show them love. Their pure trust, kindness, and affection mean so much to me. I enjoy spending time with them, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I understand that every pet is different—some want lots of attention and playtime, while others prefer their own space and a calm companion. As a pet owner, I completely understand the anxiety of leaving your loved one at home, and I want to help ease that worry. While I may not be the most professional sitter, I can guarantee that I will treat your pet the same way I would want my own to be treated—with patience, care, and genuine love. Your baby will definitely be in good hands with me. I work part-time as a project manager, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to spend with your pet and give them the attention they deserve. I have a yard for curious pets to explore, and I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood where almost every family seems to have a cat or dog! There are also nearby trails where I can take your dog for a run if they’re energetic, or simply enjoy a relaxing walk at their own pace. I currently don’t have any pets or kids at home, so my home is a quiet and comfortable space, especially for pets who may need a little extra time to adjust. Cats and dogs are absolutely welcome on the furniture and, of course, cuddles are always welcome! ❤️ I want your pet to feel at home and will treat them with the same care and love I would want for my own.

Yiheng cared for our two 2 year old cats, (Chestnut and Jinx) during our 15 day vacation in Korea and Japan! We are so very happy that we found her and we absolutely highly recommend her! She is the absolute best & she’ll definitely take excellent care of your kitties. An important note is that she makes sure to wash her hands every time at the start of her visit, and ensures she locks the door when she leaves. Yiheng is very caring, patient, friendly, organized, understanding, prepared, and went above and beyond by helping clean! She followed our very detailed instructions and we came home to two very happy, well-fed, and relaxed cats! My cats love her and I am so happy she was patient with them. Yiheng is also very trustworthy and ensures she is prompt to the assigned visit schedule. She even gave us some cat toys for Chestnut and Jinx! While we were vacationing overseas, she provided us with that much needed peace of mind and confidence that our cats would be well taken care of every day. Her detailed end-of-visit Rover cards (which explained everything during the visit) and attached pictures for each visit helped reassure us that everything was going smoothly! Yiheng also paid attention to the litter boxes and gave reports of each cat’s bathroom breaks. She also has excellent communication and was very responsive whenever there were any questions. Yiheng also followed very precise feeding instructions and was very patient with our shy and easily distracted Chestnut. Furthermore, she was also incredibly helpful in maintaining our clean apartment, she cleaned (swept, vacuumed, wiped) and sanitized any accidents such as hairball vomit and any bathroom accidents. While we were very happy to come home to two happy cats after the trip, we felt bittersweet that her current booked visits with us were concluding. 🥹 However, it’s not a goodbye because we are for sure going to book future visits with Yiheng again!! 😊 Thanks again Yiheng!!
Nicol is the most patient, kind and caring sitter we ever had. She always goes above and beyond to take care of our cats and the house. Her love and care for our cats makes us feel really reassured and we can travel at peace, thanks to Nicol. I can't recommend her enough.
Yuemin was very prompt at responding and it was very easy to set up a pre-visit so she could meet our cats and learn where everything is located. She sent daily updates and pictures and even helped to clean up a few accidents that one of our kitties had throughout our home. Thank you Yuemin!
Patrycja is Chicken Nuggets favorite sitter. She takes amazing care of him when I am out of town, and secretively I think Chicken Nugget wishes she was around more often. Her love of animals is reciprocated by animals love of her! She is very communicative and keeps us updated with amazing photos and videos. We are so lucky to have her!
Teagan took great care of our cat as always! His tail was so high up in the photos. You can tell he's always super happy to see Teagan. She was really observant and noticed his cat door had an issue and went out of her way to let us know. We really appreciate knowing he's well cared for while we're away!
I had a great experience with Bergen. She genuinely cared for my cat and was incredibly attentive to her. She also went above and beyond to help with things outside of her duties, which I really appreciated. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does. I'll definitely be booking her again and would highly recommend her!
Linda took wonderful care of Qiuqiu again! She is patient, attentive, and caring, and sent us lots of photos and videos every day. We came home to a happy and well-cared-for cat. So grateful to have someone we trust while we’re away. Highly recommend and we will reach out to her again 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.
