“Mikayal did a great job taking care of our elderly cat. She was on time and kept the area very clean. We are very pleased and our cat seemed to like her. We will definitly ask her to care for our cat again. Thanks for a great job.”
“Allyson is great. I had to change our booking several times recently and she was always flexible, accommodating, and responsive. She always takes great care of Posey and I completely trust her. Highly recommend.”
“We had to leave our furbaby, Mitchell, for two weeks and faced a tough decision: cat boarding or a Rover sitter. After a traumatizing trial at a boarding facility, we knew Mitchell would be much happier at home with someone he could trust — Ella!! Ella did a fantastic job caring for Mitchell, ensuring he felt loved and comfortable during our time away. She followed our instructions perfectly and kept us updated with regular check-ins. Their bond has grown so strong that Mitchell looks forward to her visits, and they’ve become the best of friends. Leaving your pet can be stressful, but with Ella, we felt completely at ease. We’re so grateful for her care and expertise, and we’ll definitely reach out to her the next time we need a sitter. Thank you, Ella, for making our time away so much easier!”
“Tasha was absolutely the best person I could have had caring for our two kitties!!! Very sweet and loving to them while also being great at communicating with me and flexible with our needs! 10/10 recommended!”
“Jennifer has been helping my family with our new puppy for 2 weeks now by coming and giving him a daily potty/lunch/play break while we are at work and school. She goes above and beyond for our pup and even gives some love to our older dog while she’s here. We love getting the daily updates and pictures she sends. Jennifer is kind, responsible, responsive, and reliable.”
“We had Stephanie take care of our cat for a month. She was so great, daily sending us pictures and updates. Our older cat was just fine when we came home and we will definitely use Stephanie again. She was very easy to work with and very reliable. I highly recommend her!”
“Laila went above and beyond, checking in with every step, sending photos of the kitties and even of the food dishes. And my kitty was comfortable enough to come to her from the first visit. I’m very particular and overly protective of my babies and she put my mind at ease. She’s a lovely person too. I think I hit the jackpot finding her.”
“Very engaged and personable, Lydia was great in setting up for success with pre-visit and key handoff. Took excellent care of two elder cats with feeding, litter cleaning and opportunity for socializing. My cats always hide from new people and don’t warm up easily. Both came out to see and watch, so Lydia has a special good vibe. Provided images and messages for each visit. Have already re-booked Lydia to provide care again. Highly recommend!”
“Ellen was great!! We came back home to a very happy Peaky and a spotless apartment (dishes and linen all cleaned too!). Peaky can sometimes be a shy cat but he became friends with Ellen very quickly. We also appreciated the regular communication/updates and pics. Would love to have her sit Peaky again!”
“Karyna took great care of my cat Wilson. Last minute holiday plans came up and she went above and beyond to ensure Willie was comfortable. Thank you so much, I’m so appreciative.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes and have years of sitting experience. I have taken care of puppies, senior dogs, and anywhere in between. I recently graduated college and am looking for something to occupy my time during the summer. I am available most days and times of the week. I will satisfy any rules and requests to keep your fur babies comfortable and on their regular routine. I love walking and playing with pups.
About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of and being around pets my entire life! Since I was a child, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, and fishes as well as other large animals! Over the years many friends, family members and neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets. I have over 6 years of experience with all dog breeds. I currently have a two-year-old Yellow Lab who is the sweetest pup I have ever had. She is extremely friendly and loving and is great with other dogs and cats. I currently have a pretty open schedule with my online classes, so I am home most of the time, dogs have access to the backyard at almost all times and are always being watched and monitored for safety. Dogs are taken on walks to nearby parks and around the neighborhood and rides around to the dog park. dogs are fed separately and are fed on a schedule and always have access to lots of fresh water. I have a fenced yard and a pool in the back yard. I am able to crate your dog if needed or per your preference. My lab is always ready to play or nap with your pup and will always keep them company!
“Josephine went above and beyond for us looking after our two cats while we were away during the holidays. She was always super communicative and provided updates for us on how they were doing each day. I would 100% recommend her for any pet sitting and will definitely be using her to watch after our cats again!”

About: I have many years of caring for dogs and cats. I'm attentive, independent, and ready to care for your pets needs. Your pets receive the same patient affection that I give my own.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Russell
We cannot speak highly enough of Allyson's pet sitting services! While we were out of town for a short weekend, Allyson completed multiple drop in visits to care for our two dogs, Elsa and Bruno, and our cat, Willow. She went above and beyond our expectations. Allyson was attentive to all of their needs feeding them on schedule, letting them out, and most importantly, spending quality time playing and interacting with each of them. All three of our pets were visibly happy and well cared for during our absence. It was clear that she genuinely enjoys working with animals. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine care for our pets gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Allyson to anyone looking for trustworthy pet care. She's a gem, and we'd be happy to have her back anytime we need her!
Kristin was very communicative with updates on our cats. She was very sweet and took care of them very well. One of our cats who is a senior and is shy took to liking her very much. Also very prompt, on time with each visits, and great with the taking care of each individual cat's needs. As a first time user on rover, she was a gem.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
