“Kendall is the BEST! I can’t recommend her enough! From the very beginning, she has gone above and beyond in caring for my dog. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats the dogs under her care like her own. She is so reliable and organized, communicative, and thoughtful. I always receive great updates and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. She also takes extra time to make sure my dog is comfortable, happy, and well exercised, and even brings her bones. We are lucky to have Kendall in our life!”
“Nalleli was wonderful! She accommodated my last-minute holiday weekend request and took great care of my three cats. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures during the visit, and gave me peace of mind my cats were in good hands. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Jenn was great and took great care of my two cats while we were away on vacation. She went above and beyond what was asked of her and even vacuumed 🤭 She was very communicative and a great problem solver when our litter robot had a small malfunction.”
“Alexa took such great care of my cat while I was away. I loved how I could rely on how punctual her check-ins were and how consistently she communicated. It really helped to make me feel at ease and know my cat was in great hands. My cat was very spoiled by all of the affection she got and I know she can’t wait to see Alexa again!”
“Claire was amazing with our little bandit! She took great care of him, sent tons of photos and updates. He was so happy whenever she came! Absolutely will rebook with Claire in the future and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter!!!”
“Asher has a lot of experience with cats, especially if they need medication. I felt very comfortable leaving my boy, Max, in her care. He was healthy and happy when I got home and she reported that he took his meds like a champ every day!”
“Laura was AWESOME! she really went over and beyond, took wonderful care of our cats and was an excellent communicator. She has an eye for detail not only for our pets but also for our home in general. Highly recommend!”
“Leah took great care of my cat during a couple of weekend drop-in visits, including meeting him where he’s at when it comes to warming up to new people. She was also very responsive and kept me updated so that I wasn’t worried while I was out of town.”
“Feeling nervous as first time users of Rover, we were very lucky to have found Ed. Our cat (T) is 15 years old and requires special attention for feeding and medicine. Not only that, but he’s a fairly anxious pet and has never gone a week without us. Ed went above and beyond to make sure that our cat received all the love and care in the world. He played with T and followed the feeding and medicine schedule. Also, for us as owners, it was reassuring to get several pictures each session so that we could see how T was doing. We trust Ed and will absolutely book him again should we need a pet caregiver.”
“Shauna is great! She’s been really helpful in integrating our puppy into our home and getting him on a schedule. She’s wonderful with Ducky, our 4 1/2 month old handful. She’s punctual, communicative, and specifically works on the things Ducky needs help with. Highly recommend!!!”
“Christine is great. I really love how she sends a quick message immediately when the check-in starts to reassure me that everything looks good. Very attentive and communicative. I feel like I'm leaving my cat in excellent hands and I don't have to worry about anything.”
“Natalie was a great sitter for our cat! She was extremely thorough with her updates and we could tell that she spent quality time with our cat while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone!”

Maya was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about doing a good job caring for my cat. I received consistent updates, photos, and notes, which gave me real peace of mind. She followed all care instructions carefully and kept everything clean and organized. I came home to a happy cat and would trust Maya to watch my pet again.
Alexa is amazing!! From first outreach, she was super responsive and easy to communicate with. She made sure our cats were well cared for and even spent extra time with them, and sent plenty of photos. I’d definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!
Jennifer, You did an awesome job watching our senior cat, the fish and for sending us the photos every day. You were a reliable communicator, which was reassuring. Thank you for everything you did. Our cat looked happy in the photos you sent and was in great shape when we returned. We would definitely choose you to sit again. Thank you! -Emmitt’s family
Nicole continues to be the greatest pet sitter and human being! Our furry baby Ozzie adores her and I swear he misses her when she’s not here! Nicole dealt with more than she should have during our most recent trip and had our backs through it all! Thank you so much, Nicole! You are so amazing and appreciated!

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.
