“Elijah is the best!! He gives us great updates on our three kitties and we trust him completely when we are out of town. We have great peace of mind when Elijah watches our boys and highly recommend him!!!”
“Shannon did a fantastic job checking in on our two cats while we were out of town. The kitties are still fat and sassy, and actually came out to say hello for their check in photos! Highly recommended.”
About: I’m the family pet sitter because not only do I follow their routine but I make sure my sweeties are loved and entertained. I’m a nursing assistant part time so I have loads of hospitality experience! I’m a nursing assistant part time I’m usually working weekends which makes me more available during the week to stop by or even sit and entertain your sweeties! I don’t have a fenced backyard and my pup is a little feisty so i’d prefer to come to them but that just allows your pup to stay in the comfort of their home and again I have experience with doing drop ins for plenty of my family & friends!
“Chynna did a great job taking care of my pet while I was away. I had an emergency in my apartment and she offered to go back and check on my cat multiple times that had not been previously booked to make sure he was okay and spend extra time with him. I definitely would plan to have her watch my on the next time I am away.”
“Katie was great with the cats, they were both very social with her and enjoyed her scratches and pets. She came by for an intro visit, I got some good pictures of the cats from her while I was gone, and food and litter were good. I'd go with her again.”
“Danyelle is extraordinary. We booked her for the first time and were so happy with our choice. She cared for our two cats over the Christmas holiday, visiting twice and administering oral medicine that had to be given on a regular schedule. She provided daily updates that were not only informative but fun to read. Highly recommended!”
“Nick was great with our little June! We had a lovely meet & greet ahead of time before our trip. He was always responsive and asked good questions before hand and throughout. We’re super appreciative of his flexibility over a holiday too! Thanks for everything Nick :)”

“Sidney came to my rescue last minute when my pet sitter had a family emergency. My cats immediately took to her and she gave me much needed peace of mind a day out from my trip!”
“Devinder takes great care of my cat Theo, who can be a bit sassy and territorial, especially when it comes to his personal space. I’d definitely recommend Devinder to anyone with a quirky or particular pet - he handles them with care!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs as long as I can remember and have had a significant part in their care for about 10 years. The last 4 years I’ve been the primary caregiver for my pets. Since I was a teenager I’ve been the designated pet and house sitter for friends and family! I currently work full time but work from home two days per week. My mornings before work and evenings after work are dedicated to the pups. If necessary I am able to take a long lunch for some extra pup time. I have a fully fenced in yard where my friendly pups love to play and a puppy proofed home. Pets are welcome anywhere people are allowed, including furniture. My 2 dachshunds are super outgoing with other dogs and can keep up with big dogs! In a client’s home I will take into account any of the house rules of the pet parents.
“This was our first time working with Taylor and we’ll definitely be working with her again in the future! She was respectful of our cats (who aren’t friendly), communicative, and timely. We were very pleased with our experience!!!”
“Robin continues to be the GOAT. I'm so grateful for her attentiveness, kindness, and gentleness; I know my cat could not be in better hands. I've booked her services many times and I will continue to do so!”
About: I have had multiple pets throughout my life and had experience pet sitting and owning for years. I have personal ownership experience with birds, reptiles, dogs of all sizes, cats, rodents, of all ages. I love animals and will care for yours like my own. I have a flexible schedule and able to stop by regularly to care for your pet in their own home and comfort-zones. I have the time for longer in-home visits and playtime, or a quick check-in. I am happy to work within any set up you may have - kennels, litter boxes, playing in your yard or going for walks - just let me know what is needed.

Jazmine was phenomenal! She took great care of my kitties and home while I was away and sent me plenty of pictures as well! :) My home was just the way I left it (if not cleaner) and my cats seem happy! She was extremely helpful/responsive and I look forward to booking with Jazmine again in the future! :)

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 .

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.
