âWorking with Stephanie is always easy and seamless. This week she had to administer some medication for my cat and it went very well for my cat (a few scratches for Stephanie đ ) Thanks for all your hard work!â

âMackenzie did a fantastic job with it cats over the weekend we were away. She handled the meds needed for one with no issue and we came home to happy cats and no surprises. Highly recommend!â
âAnders went above and beyond caring for Pippa during the power outage! I really appreciated the extra care for Pippa, going so far as to make an extra stop one day to see if the power had come back on, and hunting down my recycling bin which had blown into a neighbor's yard. I would definitely have Anders watch Pippa again!â

âErin was absolutely fantastic and is a âkeeper â. My Jack loved her! I am impressed with Rover overall. The app was easy to use and I was given constant updates. Erin, I will need you for my annual NY trip next year! Thank you so much!â


âNicole was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my animals were taken care of. She took time to know my animals and send lots of pictures while I was away! I highly recommend Nicole if you want quality care for your pets.â

âCarse was amazing and we will absolutely be using her again. She was communicative, prompt, followed up with us daily and kept us up to speed on everything that was happening while we were away. Our cat Doug can be a little spicy with new people and Carse was so good he looked more relaxed hanging with her than he does with us half the time. 5/5â
âMaryann is excellent! She is responsive, kind and thoughtful, I am very grateful to have her look after my cat when I am away. I highly recommend her!â


âSecond time utilizing Crystalâs services and she totally rocks. Definitely put my mind at ease that my cats were in good hands while I was traveling and greatly appreciated the daily updates and pictures!â

âJonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way Iâm happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!â
âLiana did an amazing job with my two boys. They were happy cats upon my return after 6 days. Liana is a great communicator and takes many photos during her visits. I will be using her again and would recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.â

âHeath is fantastic - a great communicator and very prompt and clearly knowledgeable about cats. Thanks so much for hanging with Pandora over the holidays!â


About: I've had cats since I was born, and have had dog(s) since I was 8. I also worked as a professional dog walker in Boston after college for a while, working with all sorts of breeds and energy levels from a 8lb chihuahua mixes to big old labs. Currently, I have two rambunctious Australian Shepherds (5 and 6 years old) and a 10-year old tortie cat who rules the roost. Former high school teacher looking for a (slightly) less chaotic life, but needless to say, I'm used to wrangling all sorts of creatures and keeping track of everybody! Currently figuring out next steps, so I am available for a variety of times/options and very flexible. As someone with finicky pets myself, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to have someone else caring for your pet and inside your home with them. I treat other people's pets the same way I would treat my own, with special care to any instructions left for them and making sure the pets are safe, calm, and happy. I'm happy to provide any photos of the visit as I know I rely on them myself when I have had pet sitters!
âAnother wonderful sit with Meira! Sheâs so great about detailed updates and so many photos and videos. Deedles loves her - even I canât touch the belly, but Meira is allowed!â


âThis was my first time using Rover since Iâm usually the one doing the pet sitting, so I was a little nervous leaving my cats with someone new. Caprice was great! She took wonderful care of my cats while I was away and made me feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and use her again!â

About: I've been responsible for taking care of pets ever since I can remember- cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments. However, for the past few years I've been traveling a lot and so do not have any pets currently. Throughout the years, I've been a Vet Tech and adopted and fostered puppies through hospice dogs and several cats, and have had extremely friendly and reactive dogs. I'm willing to meet your pet where they are. I work from home and really enjoy my area of the world, so I tend to be a homebody during the week. I go for daily beach walks and enjoy swimming when it's warm enough. My neighborhood is great for walking, too. I love to get out and hike or explore on the weekends, but am also happy with projects around the house. High energy pups and couch potatoes are both welcome. I have a 4 foot fenced in yard and plenty of couch space. It's important to do what I can to help your pet be comfortable in a new environment, so I try to keep to their schedule as much as possible. I do have a large crate and room for you to bring your own if that works better. The ticks are out in force so please make sure your dog is on preventive. I cannot accept dogs with bite history or food/toy aggression.
âCailey is fantastic! One of my dogs is on the anxious side and Cailey helped to make her feel right at home, and has been incredibly flexible with my wonky schedule! Highly recommend!â

âKatarina took great care of our kitties while we went away for the weekend. From our first phone conversation, it was very clear how much she loves animals and it left us feeling reassured that our babies were in capable & loving hands. She sent us pivs of our babies and gave daily updates. Great work by an excellent pet sitter. We would not hesitate to use Katarina again!â

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
Ashley is a superstar caretaker! My cats both have special needs and are extremely shy⌠they require a very thoughtful and patient person to gain their trust. Ashley has proven to be that person time and time again! I cannot recommend her enough as a true animal lover that walks the walk in her visits.

Erin was great with my babies. She sent me some wonderful pictures of them and I can tell that they had warmed up to her. She did drop ins for my cats sat- tues morning and came twice a day. She even checked in in my turtle for me! It was a seamless experience and I was relieved to jot have to hurry back.

Nicole took excellent care of our cat Moe while we were away. She clearly understands his personality and needs, and they picked right up where they left off from her previous caretaking visit. We received daily updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind. Most importantly, Moe was happy and completely himself when we returned. I highly recommend Nicole - she did a fantastic job!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your catsâ 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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.
