“It was our first time using Rover. Cassidy took great care of our cat while we were away. She did a meet and greet prior to our trip to become familiar with our cat and his routine. Phenomenal communication throughout our trip and took great pictures. He warmed up to her quickly. Would definitely recommend her to anyone and will choose her again next time we take a trip.”
“Hahaha is very responsive. She was always on time for check ins and treated my cat very well. I would definitely recommend her and I would book her again any day.”
“Stefanie was a great pet sitter for our cat, and we were glad to see how quickly our cat warmed up to her. She sent lots of pictures each day and was communicative throughout. We would recommend!”
“Ashley and Mauricio were absolutely amazing with our cat Porfirio during the holidays. They went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. They were super reliable and communicative. Porfirio warmed up to them quickly and seemed to really enjoy their visits, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would 100% trust them again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Nicole was so great with our cat Pepper! She sent so many photos updates and was super communicative throughout the time watching her. Would highly recommend!”
“Bianca has been an amazing addition to our family! You can really tell by here consistency that she really cares about my dog. She communicates her availability too. She’s enthusiastic too.”
“Annabel did a great job for my 2 cats while I was away for a week. She sent great pictures and even cleaned up when they got into a treat bag one day. Highly recommend!”
“My wife and I could not be more pleased with our experience working with Sarah — and our kitten feels the same! Our initial meet-and-greet with her before she stayed with our cat was so helpful; she asked such thoughtful questions and really took the time to learn about our kitten, and his needs and his schedule. She also has such an impressive wealth of knowledge about pet care - we immediately felt so comfortable having her care for our cat. During her time watching our cat we received very thorough and very thoughtful updates; she is absolutely absolutely beyond professional and beyond polite! Plus, it is so clear that she really enjoys her work caring for animals and has fun all along the way. She has such an incredible gift when it comes to caring for animals, and we could not have felt more comfortable having her be in our home and care for our little guy. We truly cannot recommend Sarah highly enough!”
“Nina was wonderful! She came to check on my rabbit while I was away. She was considerate of the house and great with the overall care, sending photo updates daily.”
About: I love all pets. I’ve taken care of over seven different dogs ranging from 8 weeks old to 15+. I’ve administered medication orally and topical long walks and assistance after medical procedures. I do not do boarding in my own home. 100% in the comfort of your own home please do not hesitate to reach out for any questions! I am very flexible for any pet care for any questions. Feel free to reach out. I’m available at all times of day and night to make sure our babies are okay I have a dog and cat we feed both twice a day the correct amount needed for them. Our dog goes on a daily walk. Other client care I do whatever the pet parent needs and wants to ensure the safety of their pet and whatever they are comfortable with.
“Cystal is our favorite. She and Snow adore each other. Its always makes me feel safe when Cystal watches him. Jackie the cat visits her too. She updates me, sends pics, and offers dog training tips.”
“Chris was great with my puppy! Very attentive to both my needs and my puppy’s needs during his visits. Great communication and photos to ease my nerves. I’m would highly recommend him for any of your pets needs!!”

About: I grew up with a dog for most of my life, and I have recently gotten a new puppy who is almost 1 years old now! I am quite well versed with puppies but I also have lots of love and patience for our seniors as well. I love all dogs and cats! I recently began volunteering for walks at the Lucky Dog Refuge here in Stamford. I currently work full time 8-5 but available for anytime after 5. I am also available any time of day on most weekends as well! I will make sure your pup feels safe and happy when I enter your home. I will follow any and all instructions you may have for me!
“Elvia truly went above and beyond in her latest house sit for our cat Dolly. We had an incident at our home shortly before we were scheduled to leave town that required our home to be aired out while we were gone. Elvia was extremely accommodating, understanding, and helpful. All the while taking excellent care of and spending quality time with our sweet kitty. We could not be more grateful to Elvia, and recommend her without reservation!”
About: Dogs have been my world for 15 years. I've worked in daycares, training facilities, grooming, shelters, and now I focus on providing reliable walks and personalized care. I offer neighborhood walks during the week, and on weekends I also offer 90 to 120 minute off-leash adventure hikes for the weekend warrior dogs that love to explore and need to burn off some energy! Every visit includes photos, updates, gps and plenty of attention! Dogs are what i do! And because this is what I do professionally, I’m able to provide consistent scheduling and care, building relationships with your pup! Almost any given day you can find me working with dogs of all sizes and energy levels! I primarily provide care through structured outdoor hikes rather than in-home services. When working in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm, controlled environment.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
These guys were family from the start :D. Jeff walked right up to them to say hi, something he typically doesn't do right away. Jeff picked them, not me, and he couldn't have made a better choice. A+. They were responsive and took pics. Excellent teamwork. Thank you guys!!
Stefanie was absolutely wonderful taking care of my cats! She was very patient, caring, and attentive with them. Every day she kept me updated on how they were doing and sent me pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cats felt very comfortable and relaxed around her, and that means a lot to me because I really care about who I trust with them. I could tell that she treated them with genuine love and care. I’m very grateful to Stefanie and would definitely trust her to take care of my cats again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone responsible, patient, and loving with their pets! ❤️🐾
Maria Helena was amazing! Our cats warmed up quickly to her and she sent us so many amazing photos of our cats while we were away. I’m an anxious parent when away from my cats but this was the least anxious I’ve felt in a while. Really happy to have found such a great person to watch our girls
Nina is absolutely fantastic! Her communication was excellent, and she provided detailed daily updates with pictures. My cat needs special care, and Nina was extremely responsible and paid close attention to detail of the care routine. She went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again!
Kamila was truly the best cat sitter I could’ve asked for. She sent me lots of pictures and details from each visit and went the extra mile to do things to make my cat more comfortable while I was away. I had some plans change unexpectedly and Kamila was extremely accommodating and was able to adjust her schedule to help me out. She was super flexible and kind and I felt much better about leaving my cat knowing she was in such good hands! Would absolutely recommend
Daniela took good care of the cats. Setting up are communications are smooth and easy. Ad hoc requests on unexpected incidents were well taken care of. The house is clean after the sessions. Overall it was a great experience. Will request their help 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.

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.

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.
