“Blair has been an extremely reliable sitter time and time again! Anything needed and any adjustments to make, she has been extremely flexible and it is greatly appreciated! We definitely are open to defaulting to turning to her whenever we have a need and we truly feel confident in booking her!”
“Christine came when she said she was going to and spend time with my cat. She wasn’t able to see my second cat, but that was to be expected. She showed me pictures of my one cat and I knew that he was getting attention. She was reliable and I would definitely use her again. Thank you, Christine.”
“Karenna is a reliable and thoughtful sitter. She made my cats feel like they had a friend when I was away. She cleaned up, asked questions along the way, and got my shy kitty to come out for rubs and pets. I will definitely use her again- I highly recommend her!”
“This was my first time leaving my cat with a sitter, I was super anxious about it and Chelsea made me feel so reassured. She was super responsive, sent me lots of pics and overall took amazing care of my cat. Would definitely recommend her to someone looking for a pet sitter! :)”
“Maria did an awesome job house sitting and taking care of our cat Ramona for 8 nights! I was traveling without cell service and she still sent daily pictures and updates that were great to see whenever I got a bit of service. She also did extra tidying which was great to come home to. Ramona seems way less stressed than usual when we get back from a trip as well. Overall a great experience!”
About: I am a medical student looking to help care for pets in my community! I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards and frogs... oh my! I adopted two cats in the last year and have loved every minute of being their cat-mom. I have always been an animal person and pride myself on working hard, being timely and treating all creatures with the love they deserve. I am a medical student with a flexible schedule, so I am able to accommodate to your pet's needs! I can often do classes from home which allows me to set my own daily schedule most days of the week- perfect for taking a study break to walk your pup or check in on your furry friends at home! I live in apartment in Arlington but have access to safe, side-walked neighborhoods for walking your dog around! If staying in your home, I will care for your pets exactly as you would like, with genuine care, trust and a love for animals being at the core of who I am and what I do!
About: My dad was a veterinarian and my mom was a vet technician, so I've always lived in a house full of pets. I've taken care of and house-sat for both dogs and cats, and even had a few goldfish. I've taken care of dogs of all ages growing up and love watching them grow! I'm currently awaiting an assignment on a wildfire team, so currently have plenty of time to go for walks and check in on pets/ When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are maintaining their established routine, ensuring their safety, and providing reliable peace of mind for the owner. * **Following Established Routines:** I strictly adhere to the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication, exercise, and house rules. Keeping their environment and daily rhythm consistent helps minimize stress while their family is away. * **Safety & Home Security:** I maintain complete focus on safety, ensuring all doors, windows, and gates remain secure. During walks, I stay vigilant of surroundings and leash mechanics to avoid potential hazards or unwanted interactions with other animals. * **Attentive Care & Exercise:** I provide high-engagement attention, whether that means active exercise, interactive play, or quiet companionship depending on the pet’s energy level and age. * **Respectful House Care & Communication:** I treat the client's home with absolute respect, leaving things tidy and secure. After every check-in or walk, I send a brief update with photos so the owner knows their pet is safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I approach every home visit with patience, clear attention to detail, and the same high standard of care I would expect for my own pets.
“Rowyn was amazing with our two kitties! I felt so comforted going on a long trip knowing she was checking in on them. She went above and beyond the care instructions we left, and it was clear our cats loved her!”
“Lina took great care of my cat. She is so kind and caring. My absolute favorite sitter! I know that I’m leaving my pet in amazing hands while I’m away. I highly recommend booking her if you want peace of mind while you are away.”
“Kaitlin dropped in on our cat daily while we were away. She communicated frequently to let us know when she would be coming and sent photos. She even went back to see our cat a second time on the first day because she didn’t realize there was a check in feature. We will definitely be using Kaitlin next time!”
“I had the pleasure of working with Casie sitter for my cat, Storm, and she was absolutely phenomenal. From the start, she was well-prepared and proactive in her approach to caring for Storm. Her communication was clear and consistent, and her knowledge about cat care was evident throughout. I felt completely at ease knowing Storm was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Casie to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful sitter—I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Angel is amazing! She communicates very well and swiftly. She pays attention to your dogs food and water intake. Will even go the extra mile by washing out the water bowl. A great sitter overall!!”
About: I’ve cared for family dogs since my teens, including an 18-year-old senior pup. I’m experienced with giving meds, frequent walks, and high-energy puppy care daily. I also have my own spicy cat that loves cuddles only on his terms. Pet care fits perfectly into my current routine. I’m available on weekday afternoons and overnight on weekends. As I job hunt, I remain flexible and reliable. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with one cat, making it a calm and safe environment. I often dog-sit my family’s two friendly dogs. I prioritize safety, comfort, and following each pet’s routine closely, whether in my home or a client’s.
“Emily did a terrific job for us. She was punctual, diligent and, most importantly, very kind to our pets. One of our cats is diabetic and requires shots twice a day. Emily followed all of the instructions for feeding and dosing him and his blood sugar was spot-on when we came home. I cannot say enough good things about Emily. We will gladly hire her again.”
“Jun took absolutely great care of my cats while I was away. He came as promised and kept me well informed about how they were doing. They also seemed to take to him very well! I would highly recommend Jun!!”
“Curtis was a great caretaker for our two cats: Dropped by everyday, administered pills, changed food, water, and litter in addition to play time! Heavily recommend, he's a great sitter!”

Shelby is a great pet sitter and dog walker! She is very responsive and came over before her first visit to learn about the pets. She’s very reliable and has been a huge help to us! She takes great care of our pets and leaves us great pictures and reports of how their time was together. Highly recommend!
Blair is professional, caring and highly responsible. She is dependable and treated my cat with love and care. I highly recommend Blair to care for your furry family member(s). My cat needed special food and medication - she took care of her special needs in a manner that gave me peace of mind.
Brian really came through for us at the last minute! Our usual house sitter had an emergency and had to leave two days before the end of our trip, and Brian jumped in to help even though he had never cat sit for us before. He was attentive to detail and kept us updated with pictures. Thanks again Brian you really saved our vacation!
Elizabeth consistently exceeded expectations! She took the time to keep my boys happy, took them onto my balcony every day, and was so thorough that my separation anxiety was gone despite being in another country. An added bonus is all the pictures she takes-I definitely have saved some of the super silly ones and they make me happy!
Chelsea was responsive, reliable, and took excellent care of my two cats, including a cat that requires insulin injections every 12 hours. She also takes very good pictures! I looked forward to the photos from her check-ins and appreciated her willingness to see my babies twice a day over the holidays.

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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
