“Matthew is awesome!! We have used him for walks in the past but needed a drop in visitor for the holiday weekend, he was quick to respond and eager to help our dog Stetson. We would absolutely use him again for drop in visits!”
“Our experience with Rezvan was fantastic. Our dogs were so well taken care of and she did an amazing job making sure they were happy and healthy and great! Will not hesitate to hire her again next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Truly couldn't have asked for a better person to look after our pup! Extremely communicative, thinks of things you wouldn't and makes sure everything is taken care of. Thanks for everything!”
“Jennifer and Jonathan have been taking care of my cat bubbles for a while whenever I’m out of town. They’re always great with him and send pics letting me know he’s happy!”
“As always, Elle is fantastic and our cat loves her. I’ve lost track of how many times we’ve scheduled with Elle but we have two more trips this year…. At a minimum. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“She did such an amazing job! So communicative and willing to meet before doing the check in. Our boys were so happy to be in her care!! Would definitely rebook again 🥰”
“Ashley was great and reliable! Our cat loved that she would make time to sit with him and give him lots of pets and treats! Always responsive when we had questions, and we never had to worry about our cat while we were away. She is awesome!”
“Lisa did an amazing job taking care of our cat. Our cat takes multiple pills every day and Lisa was so patient and loving with him to make sure he got every dose. She went above and beyond in caring for him and we looked forward to her updates and pictures after each visit. We would absolutely book her again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about our cat walker, Mia! She has been absolutely amazing with my two ragdoll boys, Loki and Thor. Not only does she take them on their walks, but she also did drop-in visits while I was out of town—and I had complete peace of mind the entire time. What really sets her apart is how interactive and engaged she is with them. She doesn’t just show up and go through the motions—she truly spends quality time encouraging them to explore, play, and of course, get plenty of cuddles. It’s so clear she genuinely loves what she does, and even more importantly, she truly loves my boys. Loki and Thor adore her. They literally cry at the door when they know she’s coming, which says everything. Seeing how excited they get and how comfortable they are with her makes it an easy decision every time—I’ve already booked her multiple times and will continue to do so. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Mia is the one. She goes above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Jordan is amazing!! Took on Kyro last min and was extremely patient with him and grew a trusting relationship with him. I will definitely be booking her again. Super pleased!”
“Phenomenal - so sweet with my girl, Maple. She took great photos, fed her, played fetch and left the tv on for her so she’d have something to listen to while I was gone. Highly recommend.”
“I have had Marshall watch my Gemma twice now and he has been wonderful. Gemma is a very timid and sometimes stubborn girl but Marshall is patient with her and she responds to him. He gives great detailed reports and includes photos at all visits. Highly recommend!!”
“Emily was an incredible cat sitter! She was extremely conscientious with making sure she was there on time, and both of our cats loved her! This was a pleasant surprise because our smaller cat is extremely shy and we didn't think she would even come out. However, the little one warmed up almost immediately to Emily. Emily gave great sitter notes and took lots of pictures for us. We would not hesitate to book Emily again, should the need arise.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a natural and important part of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors, including overnight stays and extended pet-sitting arrangements. I’ve also had the opportunity to foster animals — including young kittens, which has given me experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I understand that leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, which is why I treat every animal in my care like they’re part of my own family. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and all the little things that help pets feel safe and comfortable in their normal routine. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet wants to spend the day playing, going for walks, getting lots of attention, or simply curling up somewhere cozy, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is simple: to give your pets the same love, patience, attention, and care I would want someone to give mine. I homeschool my children, so I’m home with them throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to provide pets with plenty of companionship, attention, and supervision rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time. I’m available for regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and schedule so they can feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have lifelong experience with both cats and dogs and understand how important it is to respect each pet’s personality, boundaries, and routine. I currently have two very friendly, social cats and a friendly dog who are accustomed to being around other animals. I’m happy to discuss introductions and make sure every pet is comfortable before allowing interaction. Our home does not have a private fenced yard, but our complex has a small dog park, and we also take plenty of walks for exercise, fresh air, and enrichment. I’m happy to keep your pet’s normal exercise routine while they’re in my care. Because I homeschool my children and am home most of the day, pets staying with us will have someone around to keep an eye on them, give them attention, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable. I want every pet in my care to feel like a welcomed member of the family—not a guest being left in a strange place.
About: I am dog owner of a golden retriever. I love teaching him new tricks all the time. I have worked very closely with other trainers to train dogs so I have expirence training dogs. I love taking the dogs to the dog parks. I usually walk everyday. I spend about 20 minutes training him every day and he loves it. Training is another way of showing your dog you love them and you are paying attention to them. So they love it. I also grew with my parents that have a farm with alot of differnt animals. They own 6 Great Pyraneese , goats, chickens, cats, pigs, and I have been peacocks. I have helped my parents raised them and feed them.

“Ashanti stepped in at the last minute to help with my pup, and she was so easy to with despite the fact that this was our first time booking together! She responded quickly, ensured all was taken care of, and provided great feedback on the visit. Definitely recommend and will be booking with again in the future!”

Kristen did a wonderful job caring for my chihuahua, bulldog, and kitty while I was gone. She kept in close communication with me and sent me photos during each visit. She even washed their dirty dishes and took out the trash because it was full! My pets received lots of loving care and attention during my absence. I highly recommend Kristen and plan to have her care for my pets again!
I can’t say enough good things about our cat walker, Mia! She has been absolutely amazing with my two ragdoll boys, Loki and Thor.

Brendan was amazing. He was timely with his check-ins, administered my cats insulin without issue and even went above and beyond one day when my power was out and he couldnt get in. I will 100% be booking with him again for any future cat sitting needs I have. Thanks again!!
This is our third time booking with Jasi and yet again, she was exceptional! I had miscalculated my days during booking and needed more visits, Jasi did not hesitate to jump in and cover while we were away. As always, she was thorough, loving to our kitties and assured me they were well taken care of while we were away! We will absolutely book with her again!
We recently went on a three-day international trip and needed someone truly trustworthy to look after our cat. We were fortunate enough to find Vicki, and I can confidently say she exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, professional, and thoughtful. She asked the right questions, paid attention to every detail, and instantly gave us peace of mind. While we were away, Vicki cared for our cat with a level of dedication and kindness that is rare to find. She didn’t just “check in” on him—she genuinely spent time with him, comforted him, played with him, and made sure he felt safe and loved in our absence. Her updates were consistent, detailed, and incredibly reassuring. Each photo and message reflected how much she truly cares about animals. When we came back home, we could immediately see the difference. Our cat was calm, happy, and completely relaxed—almost as if we had never left. In fact, over the past few days, we can tell he genuinely misses Vicki and keeps looking toward the door, waiting for her to walk in again. It’s rare for him to bond with someone new so quickly, and that alone says everything about the level of comfort and trust she created. To be honest, we feel like we’ve found a new member of our family in Vicki. Her kindness, reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional caregiver. Knowing that our cat was in such capable and loving hands allowed us to enjoy our trip without worry. I would recommend Vicki to anyone on Rover who wants true peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone responsible, compassionate, and truly devoted to the well-being of your pet, Vicki is absolutely the person you want. We are so grateful for her and will definitely be booking with her again.

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.
