“This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit anxious how it would go and giving a stranger access to our home. Especially because one of our 2 cats has kidney disease kitty and needs fluid injections every 2 days. But Sarah was absolutely lovely and awesome. You can see that she loved our two kitties, and it looks like everything went really well with our kidney patient. I got pictures and videos every day and they both warmed up easily to Sarah. Sarah gave me a real piece of mind while traveling and I will definitely book her next time I need a sitter ( if she is available). Thank you!!!”
“Alena took care of our senior cat for 10 days and lived in our home. She is exceptional in every way! She really understands animals, is highly attentive, can administer medications, organized, punctual, kind, efficient, and a genuinely nice person. We will be hiring her again.....and again!”
“Ariana is great! She left detailed notes which is helpful since my kitty is older and needs a bit more attention. She is thoughtful, caring, and a great photographer! Thanks for everything Ariana!”
“Ashley was amazing with our cat sitting needs. Taking time to check food and water as well as changing out the litter box. She even took care of the plants that were in need of some water love during the heat!”
“Anton was a fantastic communicator and took my stress away about leaving my kitties. I left for 4 days and have 6 cats and he was fantastic. His picture updates were cute & he went above and beyond to play with them and feed them their wet food. Highly recommend him for any of your animal needs.”
“Denise is magical. We have a cat who is very reactive to strangers and dislikes changes in routine. We weren’t sure we’d be able to go on a family vacation and leave her at home in someone else’s care. But our difficult cat warmed up to Denise immediately, and they did fine the entire time we were gone. We loved the daily photos, assuring us that all was well. Would hire Denise again in an instant.”
“Vanessa did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Sol! She was attentive, reliable, and made sure Sol was happy and well-cared for while I was away. I loved the updates and could tell Sol was in great hands. Highly recommend Vanessa for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
About: I grew up in a house with two cats, a dog, and even a few pet rats. Currently I have two indoor cats and a variety of wildlife that my roommates tell me I am allowed to feed but not allowed to bring inside. I have a little bit of experience with caring for reptiles, birds, and one hedgehog in addition to the more traditional pets. I find that I am particularly popular with large, energetic dogs who enjoy playing with someone "their own size" and anxious critters who need lots of reassurance. I recently completed graduate school and currently have lots of time to provide love, exercise, medication, and whatever else your furry friend may need while you are away. As an in-home sitter I always make sure to get complete instructions on where pets can or cannot go in the house/yard, approved treats, and any medication schedules along with vet information in case of emergencies.
“Shaina was a wonderful caregiver for our boys! She kept in touch with us the entire time we were away, we love seeing pictures of them playing & napping. The boys like having someone in the house while we are gone and did a great job keeping them company too.”
About: I was the primary caregiver of my late maltese, Papi, for 10 years after we rescued him. He had a lot of health issues and I am very comfortable with medication distribution and senior care. He also had anxiety so I am sensitive to that. Since his passing, I regularly care for my sister’s pitbull. I also helped raise my other sister’s two puppies and taught them how to socialise at the dog park! I love hiking with dogs, playing fetch, and cuddling up on the couch! I currently work Tuesdays through Thursdays. This means that for Friday through Mondays I am home all day! I have a great nature trail near my house where I like to walk and would be happy to bring your fur baby with me! I have no pets and live with my father who also loves dogs! We have a big fenced in backyard and I am comfortable with letting dogs sleep in bed with me. Happy to crate as well.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sammi was an absolute gem while watching our two cats, Merlin and Tiny Kitty, over the past four days! From the moment we met, her warmth and genuine love for animals put us at ease. She took the time to learn all about our cats’ quirks, feeding routines, and favorite playtime activities, ensuring they felt right at home in her care. Sammi went above and beyond, sending us daily updates with photos and videos that made us smile and kept us worry-free while we were away. Tiny Kitty, who can be a bit shy, warmed up to her quickly, and Merlin was clearly smitten, purring away in every picture! The house was spotless when we returned, and the cats were happy, healthy, and relaxed—a true testament to Sammi’s attentiveness and care. Her communication was prompt, professional, and always cheerful, which made coordinating everything a breeze. It’s clear Sammi has a special talent for pet sitting, and we feel so lucky to have found her. We’ll absolutely be booking her again for our next trip and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter. Thank you, Sammi, for treating Merlin and Tiny Kitty like your own!”

“Allie was wonderful from start to finish! She really got to know my dog during the meet and greet and was super reliable for all our drop-ins after that I received thorough updates, and my dog loved her! Highly, highly recommend!”
“When we returned for vacation, I noticed that my dog was well-trained. It seems that I not only hired a pet sitter but also a pat trainer. My neighbor informed me of her exceptional skills with my dog. Now they like to have her as pat sitter as well. She was very responsive and on time every time”
“Stefany was great with our pets. They all came out to visit her, which doesn't happen to all care providers. She was friendly and professional to us and very loving to the kitties.”
“Jenn is amazing! Our cat can be shy around new people, but he warmed up to her completely, getting chatty and snuggly by the end of his stay. Jenn kept us posted with updates and cute pictures. So grateful to her for taking such wonderful care of our little guy.”
“Angela was very responsive throughout my cat’s 4-day stay with her. It was my cat’s first time being away from home and she was very scared. Angela sent videos of her and video-called several times so that she could be as comforted in her new environment as possible. I highly recommend Angela for your pet-sitting needs!”

Always a pleasure working with Jeannie. She goes above and beyond! My cat adores her. He runs to greet her at the door. She spends lots of time letting him just cuddle and pur on her lap. She's even been kind enough to keep an eye on my house. Get the mail, and I noticed, she tidied up my messy family room! Thank you again! I look forward to working with you again. I know Buki will be happy to see you!
Leah did a fantastic job watching our two cats. Our cats can be challenging—one is very shy and one eats everything but is very social. Leah did an amazing job meeting both cats’ needs and making them both feel comfortable and cared for. Both our cats got a lot of love while we were out and Leah went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. She sent a ton of updates as well which also made our day better. It made our vacation all the better knowing that everything was taken care of at home. We would definitely recommend Leah’s services and we’re hoping to hire her again in the future.
Jaemin dropped in on my senior cat for 10 days over the holidays. He and his wife came for a pre-booking visit and were great about asking lots of questions and making sure they had all the relevant info. My cat was skittish and didn’t come out on any of the visits but Jaemin always made sure she had fresh food, water, and litter box. He also brought in my mail and took the trash bins down. Would definitely call him again anytime I need a cat sitter. Highly 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.
