“Octavia took great care of our 2 cats while we were in a quick trip. Great communication and went above and beyond taking care of little things too! Would definitely recommend Octavia!”
“Jarad did a great job taking care of our two cats. We asked for daily drop-ins to feed them and scoop the litterbox. He is very mature, friendly, and reliable. While we didn't ask for daily pictures, he sent one anyway which was kind. We had to ask him to go above cat sitting and to bring in our mail as the USPS was not holding it as we requested. He kindly helped us out with that too. He provided A+ service and care and we are very pleased.”
“Kaitlyn was super sweet and great with Hudson! He needs a lot of attention and has specific care and she provided all of that. We will definitely use her as often as we need her!”
“Meredith is amazing!! My dog was immediately comfortable with her and gets excited to see her every time she comes. She takes tons of pictures of my pup every visit, and reaches out with updates. Meredith is 100% someone you can count on!”
“Jessica was great with our senior large dogs and super flexible with our schedule. Communication was easy, and we felt totally comfortable leaving our crew in her care. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend Jessica and would happily book with her again!”
“We have been using Angela for almost a year now to drop-in while we are gone to check on our two cats. She is always available and responsive when we need her and will continue to use her while we are here!”
“This is our second time that Pamela had checked in on our kitties while we’re on vacation! She’s been great and always ends good pictures every day we were gone! We love her!!”
“Alysia did a great job watching my critters (2 cats and 2 leopard geckos) while I was on vacation. She has done drop in visits twice for me now and always does a great job!”
“This was our first experience with an in-home cat sitter. Jennifer was outstanding! She sent daily pictures and let us know how the cats were doing each day. She even brought in some heavy deliveries that arrived at our front door. The house looked exactly as it did when we left. Amazing experience! :)”

About: I’ve helped raise and take care of dogs since I was 10 or so. We’ve had several litters of puppies that we had to raise and get rehomed as well as various animals to include cats, dogs, and smaller animals like guinea pigs and hamsters. Each animal has its own personality and that makes working with them so special. I have flexibility to stop in the middle of the day during the work week to check in on your pet and provide the care needed on a daily basis. I also have open availability on the weekends and evenings to check in as needed. I try to treat each animal how I would like my animals to be treated. They are alive and have personalities that should be tailored to the approach you give the pets. That’s my philosophy.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Hill
Leaving your gang is always tough when you have aging pets who require extra love and attention. We have two senior dogs and one very old cat, so I was incredibly nervous about being away for an entire week. Thankfully, we found Jessica, and she was absolutely amazing! From the very start, she understood exactly how to care for our older crew. Every single day, she kept us completely in the loop with a million silly photos of our gang getting treats, snuggling up, and playing. Seeing them so happy and relaxed completely took away all our travel anxiety. Jessica went above and beyond to make sure our sweet seniors were comfortable, loved, and well-cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. 10/10—we will absolutely be booking 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 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. 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.
