“Leo was wonderful with Olaf! He came for a walk and a hang out while I was out for a very long two days of a conference and Olaf took to him right away. He was flexible with our needs and very communicative. He checked in with me before and after his check in and Olaf was very appreciative of the attention. I'd be more than happy to book him again when we need someone to look after Olaf. Thanks Leo!”
“Criss took amazing care of our kitties. She was very kind, flexible and super easy to communicate with. One of our kitties got an ear infection the day before our trip and Criss was happy to give his medicine while we were away. It was a relief knowing our kitties were in good hands! Highly recommend Criss to take care of your pets and will ask her to help with ours again.”
“I made my request with Susanne only two days in advance and she was gracious and offered to help in any way possible. It was easy to communicate with Susanne. She responded immediately to my messages. The pictures she sent showed that my cat was very happy when Susanne came over. I will definitely be asking Susanne to take care of my cat again.”
“Felix was awesome! He goes above and beyond my expectations without even the need to communicate anything with him. He got so friendly with my Bella, they played all the time and he was amazing at sending photos and videos so I knew how my kitty was doing. I found the place looking better than when I left and Bella looks happy and well fed and looks like she had a great time. I am so grateful for Felix”
“Julissa followed all instructions, and kept me informed the four days we were away. She took good care of my very shy, older cat. Everything was so tidy when I came home! I will definitely hire Julissa again.”
“Kathleen was a great friend to our shy cats. She's responsive and communicates well about what's going on with our kitties and our house. She's a great cat sitter and we hope to use her again.”
“Domonick went above and beyond with a mid-trip change of plans to keep our pets secure and happy. His pictures and updates gave us reassurance that our fur babies were okay despite complications from their humans. Thank you so much for your flexibility, communication, and for saving the day!”
“India was the purrfect caregiver for our super shy felines. She got daily snapshots even in their most clever hiding spots. Though they may not show it, our babies are grateful for the care you provided!”
“Alanna did a great job looking after my cat. She dropped in regularly, sent me a photo, and gave me updated details about her every day. When I returned, kitty looked well fed and happy and the house looked orderly and clean.”
“Chelsea sent great pictures of my cat! It felt great to see a variety of pics so I had an idea of how she was interacting with the cat. They looked very cozy together, which was heartwarming.”

“Kim is the best pet sitter! She’s very communicative and responds to messages quickly. She’s amazing with cats! My three kitties loved spending time with her during her visits. My cat Pebble is prickly and particular with who she likes, but she warmed up to Kim in no time. Not an easy task! Pebble has special needs and Kim had no issues giving her medicine and her inhaler. She also cared for our tortoise and watered my plants. Kim kept our place so clean it looked even better than before we left! I highly recommend her and will definitely be hiring her in the future!”

Thank you so much for watching our boys while we were in Italy and we really appreciated all of your hard work and updates throughout the week. It was the longest time they had ever been alone but seemed to have done really well so thank you again so much.
Yiheng cared for our two 2 year old cats, (Chestnut and Jinx) during our 15 day vacation in Korea and Japan! We are so very happy that we found her and we absolutely highly recommend her! She is the absolute best & she’ll definitely take excellent care of your kitties. An important note is that she makes sure to wash her hands every time at the start of her visit, and ensures she locks the door when she leaves. Yiheng is very caring, patient, friendly, organized, understanding, prepared, and went above and beyond by helping clean! She followed our very detailed instructions and we came home to two very happy, well-fed, and relaxed cats! My cats love her and I am so happy she was patient with them. Yiheng is also very trustworthy and ensures she is prompt to the assigned visit schedule. She even gave us some cat toys for Chestnut and Jinx! While we were vacationing overseas, she provided us with that much needed peace of mind and confidence that our cats would be well taken care of every day. Her detailed end-of-visit Rover cards (which explained everything during the visit) and attached pictures for each visit helped reassure us that everything was going smoothly! Yiheng also paid attention to the litter boxes and gave reports of each cat’s bathroom breaks. She also has excellent communication and was very responsive whenever there were any questions. Yiheng also followed very precise feeding instructions and was very patient with our shy and easily distracted Chestnut. Furthermore, she was also incredibly helpful in maintaining our clean apartment, she cleaned (swept, vacuumed, wiped) and sanitized any accidents such as hairball vomit and any bathroom accidents. While we were very happy to come home to two happy cats after the trip, we felt bittersweet that her current booked visits with us were concluding. 🥹 However, it’s not a goodbye because we are for sure going to book future visits with Yiheng again!! 😊 Thanks again Yiheng!!
Linnea was great! She was on time for our Meet & Greet, asked great questions about my cat Rhys, and maintained great communication before and during the drop-in visits. I appreciate that she took time to get to know Rhys and his cute little personality. And also all the photos I received while I was away! I came back to a happy cat and my home just as clean as I left it. Thank you again Linnea!
Nicol is the most patient, kind and caring sitter we ever had. She always goes above and beyond to take care of our cats and the house. Her love and care for our cats makes us feel really reassured and we can travel at peace, thanks to Nicol. I can't recommend her enough.
Maila has taken care of my two cats, Hazel and Lila, several times now. She is responsible and sends me updates which I love to receive. She always spends a little extra time with them and makes sure to play with them, entertain them and get all the love and treats they deserve. She’s great and will take good care of your fur babies.
Yuemin was very prompt at responding and it was very easy to set up a pre-visit so she could meet our cats and learn where everything is located. She sent daily updates and pictures and even helped to clean up a few accidents that one of our kitties had throughout our home. Thank you Yuemin!
We’re a returning customer, and Xilin and Xiang did another great job taking care of Bobo! We really appreciated the detailed notes and photos after every visit. It gave us peace of mind knowing Bobo was well cared for. We’ll definitely book with them 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.

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 .
