About: I’ve had a love for animals my entire life. I’ve been surrounded by dogs, cats, reptiles, small rodents, and farm animals all my life, all of which I’ve taken care of in different ways with the most love I can. I am always ready to for changes and for caring for each individual animal the way that works best for them. I have helped with animals of all ages and abilities and always give the most love and support I can to each one.

I can easily follow instructions based on the clients needs and the pets needs. I can feed, crate, take to the bathroom, walk, or bathe depending on what is wanted and only do what is wanted by my client.

“Xilin&Xiang did an excellent job in taking care of Matz, they came for a meet and greet before the drop in visit, and sent us a lot of pictures and videos, will rebook when we need next time.”
“Julissa did a wonderful job caring for our senior cat Luna and taking care of our home in our absence. Our cat requires a pill everyday and is a runner, but Julissa took great care of her. She even got our usually painfully shy cat to come over and sit with her for some company each visit - we were very impressed! Julissa was very communicative, leaving reassuring notes and taking wonderful pictures of our sweet girl. We will be booking with her again in the future.”

Julia is the best! It was such a relief to know that she was taking care of my two cats. She was very reliable, flexible, and communicative. She was super on top of the schedule and helped me manage my short-term booking that I hadn’t requested correctly. On top of that, her love of animals and joy about taking care of my cats made such a big difference. I will definitely check Julia’s availability next time I go out of town!
This was my second time having Leonie care for my cats, and once again she was absolutely wonderful. My girls remembered her right away, which says so much about the kindness and care she shows them. I was away on a solo backpacking trip with little to no cell service for several days, so having someone I could completely trust gave me incredible peace of mind. Even when I couldn’t check my phone, I never worried because I knew my cats were safe, loved, and well cared for. She truly goes above and beyond in every way. She’s reliable, thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. It’s rare to find someone with that level of commitment, and I feel so lucky to have found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter. Having Leonie as a cat sitter make me excited now about going away, since I know my cats have someone who can look after them properly.
Yuemin is the best!! I've booked her so many times and she always does a great job. She sticks to my notes exactly, so I never have to worry about details getting missed. You can tell she truly cares about the cat she's watching, not just clocking in and out. Highly recommend Yuemin!
Huei D did an amazing job caring for our pet Helena. She volunteered to meet with us before the appointment, took excellent pictures, and made sure Helena was well fed and well cared for during her two 30-minute visits. She was personable, conscientious, and detail-oriented, and any pet would be lucky to have her as their sitter.
Xiangling took wonderful care of our cat. She is incredibly patient, caring, and attentive to his needs. Qiuqiu quickly became comfortable with her. Every day, she follows the instructions and do the routines, also send us lots of photos and videos, along with thoughtful updates about how Qiuqiu was doing. Seeing him so relaxed and happy gave us huge peace of mind. Qiuqiu sometimes pees on the sofa so we always put pad on our sofa. She adjusted the shape and placement of the pad to help prevent accidents. It wasn’t something we specifically asked her to do—it was simply her paying close attention to his habits and finding a thoughtful solution. That level of care really stood out to us. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Xiangling to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive cat sitter. We will definitely book with her again!

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 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.

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.
