“Kaitlyn did an excellent job pet sitting for my cat Cazzy. This is the second time I have used Kaitlyn and highly recommend her. She followed my directions and did a wonderful job checking on my cat for 2 weeks. Thank you, Kaitlyn!”
“I feel so fortunate that we were able to find Liz to watch over our two kitties while we were out of town. Liz made me feel at ease throughout the entire process--from communicating via the Rover app to setting up the Meet and Greet and through the regular updates while we were away. She was everything we could have wanted from a cat sitter! Overall, I could tell that my loved ones were very well taken care of and their special care needs were more than met. Looking forward to booking with her again on our next vacation! :)”

I strictly follow established care plans and routines to ensure your pet enjoys maximum comfort and consistency while you are away.

“Victoria was amazing with our cat! She was prompt and came at the same time everyday to feed and play with our girl. I got tons of videos/photos, along with very detailed notes about how she was and how the visits went. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and encourage you to reach out to her for your fur babies! Thank you so so much again for everything!”

“Kathleen was a fantastic sitter for my cat Mercury. She was very communicative before and during visits. Her cards were thorough and provided really descriptive details that gave me a real sense of the visit. Mercury was happy and hardly out of routine when I came back home.

About: Leaving your pet can be incredibly stressful, and leaving them with someone unknown can be even more so. I remember having a puppy and feeling so guilty going to work, always checking pet cameras to make sure she was okay, and then sighing when I saw her potty accidents that I'd have to clean later. I've had dogs my whole life from chihuahuas to pitties so I've learned a ton when it comes to animals. To me, each dog has a personality and I love learning about each one. Luna (white dog) is sassy, loud, and energetic whereas Aria (tan lab) is a huge (literally) lap dog who sleeps all the time. I'm very well equipped to handle dogs with medical circumstances as I have a blind senior chihuahua who has a seizure disorder and takes daily medication. I like to meet dogs before drop ins/walks/stays to not only learn their personality and preferences, but ensure they feel comfortable around me too. I will check in with you on how you want me to keep you updated: lots and lots and LOTS of pictures or maybe just one here and there so you can enjoy your day. I like to maintain your and your dogs boundaries and respect while providing an enriching environment with lots of attention so they feel okay without you there. If you have any questions or concerns I am always happy to talk more (: I am a new masters student at San Diego state university for psychology and as much as it would help to pay for school, it also gives me a huuuge stress reliever throughout the busy weeks. I only have classes in the afternoon and work a second part time job, so my hours are mostly on weekends (for your weekend trips!) with some flexibility during the week. I enjoy having some time away from my computer for a walk and fresh air and your dog is welcome to join! Communication is key, as they say! You know your pet best and I like spending some extra time learning about their personality, preferences, and party tricks! I've had some behavioral training with dogs and reactivity so I like to respect boundaries to ensure there is no bad moments with your pet. I have house sat numerous times and keep a clean place, especially if it's not my own space. For walks, I've had a reactive dog in the past and know how scary some moments can be. Safety is my highest priority for you and your pet, easily followed by having a blast.
About: I took care of my childhood dog from age 8-18, then after college I started working for precious pet care, in which I was dog walking and house sitting everyday. I have experience with all kinds of dogs and cats with many different needs and quirks. I can’t wait to meet your precious animals! I have completely open availability right now as I work from home on a few online businesses. So I am very flexible when it comes to your scheduling needs. In my clients homes, I am very diligent and aware at all times. I follow all rules given to me, never let the animals out of my sight, and keep a calm demeanor in any situation. I love stimulating/playing with your babies in any way I can that best fits their needs.
“Milla watched my cats for a long trip and she is great at communicating and was very professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She responded quickly when I had questions and my cats really liked her. She kept my space clean and tidy for when I came home as well. Thank you Milla!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for about 10 years and counting. My family has been fostering dogs, of all ages and breeds, since before I can remember. I was taught how to properly care for animals over the years. I am knowledgeable on what your pet needs and ready to care for them while you are away. I’m currently on summer break from school, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! Very open and flexible availability. Starting the 24th my schedule will change, but my availability will be consistent and will remain flexible. While I am currently not able to care for pets in my own home, I will make sure to clearly communicate with you in order to make sure your needs are met.
“Kyrah was wonderful! She is super welcoming, warm, and caring. She took wonderful care of my cat and left my house better than she found it. She is great with communication and sends lots of updates and pictures. It was so nice to travel stress free and have no worries about my pet. Highly recommend her!!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats for most of my life and have always enjoyed the companionship and care that comes with having pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take pride in providing patient, attentive, and loving care. I also regularly care for my dad’s small dog when he is out of town, including walks, feeding, companionship, and making sure she feels safe and comfortable. I would treat your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, and I am available Monday through Wednesday before 5:00 PM. I have a flexible daytime schedule and enjoy being able to provide reliable, attentive care, including walks, check-ins, feeding, and companionship. I’m happy to work with your pet’s individual routine and needs. I understand that caring for a pet also means being respectful of their home. I will treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping things clean and orderly, following any instructions provided, and making sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing both their pets and their home are in responsible, trustworthy hands.

Rubie did a wonderful job taking care of my boys while I was away. She made sure they were fed every day, kept the litter box clean, and spent time playing with them so they stayed happy. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. I will absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.
Victoria was amazing with our cat! She was prompt and came at the same time everyday to feed and play with our girl. I got tons of videos/photos, along with very detailed notes about how she was and how the visits went. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and encourage you to reach out to her for your fur babies! Thank you so so much again for everything!
Shelby and Dalton were amazing! They did an initial meet and great with our cat prior to the scheduled drop in visits. They were thorough during the visits and were very good sports when our cat was being feisty. They even brought out/in our trash bins when asked. Would definitely recommend.

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.
