“Elizabeth was so great!! We highly recommend hiring her for any pet sitting needs. :) Her attention to detail and the time she spent taking care of our cats was so appreciated. She gave us a peace of mind while we were on vacation for over a week. We will definitely be reaching out to her when we need a pet sitter again.”
“Argiri was fantastic and made sure my cat Willie got plenty of love and attention. She was great at keeping me updated and sending photos throughout my vacation. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Tessa is an amazing pet sitter! Our cat loved her and she took amazing care of her. She took the time to play with her after each meal and gave her lots of love. Will definitely be booking her again when we go out of town.”
“I am so grateful for Justin and his family for taking care of my cats on short notice! He was so kind and patient with both them and me (I'm kind of a worrier 🙃). He sent pictures and updates often, even of my neighbor's cat who thinks my house is his house too. 😂 I definitely recommend Justin to anyone in need of a pet-sitter!!!”
“Hailey did an absolutely amazing job watching our cat. Our cat is incredibly shy and usually hides from everyone—even family members who have known him for years rarely ever see him. We honestly didn't expect him to come out at all while we were away. To our surprise, Hailey somehow won him over! Not only did she take great care of him, but she got him comfortable enough to come out and interact with her. We joke that she must be a cat whisperer because our cat normally doesn't like anybody, yet he trusted her. It's clear that Hailey is patient, kind, and truly understands cats. Knowing that our shy little guy was comfortable and cared for gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a reliable and exceptional pet sitter!”
“Without a doubt Jessica is the person for you! And your pet! She was on time, followed all instructions & loved our pet 100% we did not even meet get face to face. Jessica followed specific written instructions & did it 100% on task - we have cameras inside & she definitely can be trusted sight unseen. Thank you so very much for being there when we needed you.”
“Shayleigh was so sweet with our elderly cat. She stayed here in our home and she watered our plants and took the bennie down. She kept us updated and sent adorable notes. She left our home clean and tidy. We will definitely book Shayleigh again.”

“Frankie was great! She followed Ptolemy’s routine diligently, sent daily updates, and when we came home, we could tell our kitty was happy and well cared for while we were away. I would definitely book pet sitting again with Frankie in the future if possible!”
“Linda helped us with a last-minute need for a visit with our girl, Davie. She was so great! She communicated before arriving, during her visit, and provided a great update after. She also took the best pictures ever! ♥️? We will definitely be contacting Linda for future needs!”
“I want to express my heartfelt thanks for taking such wonderful care of my children! Your attention to their needs and the fun activities you organized made a big difference.

“April helped watch my cat, Spot, and did a great job. She gave regular updates for each visit, sent lots of pictures, and made sure he was fed and had company when I was gone for my trip. When I got back he was happy and healthy. I would recommend April if you are looking for a pet sitter in the area.”

“Denise did an amazing job watching our two cats! It was a little bit of a last minute request, but she responded very quickly and put us at ease. We will definitely be reaching out in the future!”
“Katie was so great with our senior cat and went above and beyond for us over Christmas break! He felt so comfortable with her immediately it was like having a second me at home to do the check-ins and help give his medication! Would recommend her highly to anyone needing a great Rover, I didn’t have to worry at all while we were gone!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Clara
Elizabeth was marvelous! She took wonderful care of Zazzle the big orange cat. He took to her immediately and enjoyed her company and daily brushing......I know because she sent me really great photos and he was smiling! We had lots of communication during the week and Elizabeth is now on my favorite people list . I highly recommend her as a pet care provider. She communicates well, is not afraid to ask questions or seek guidance , she is thorough and professional takes great photos!
I could not be happier about the drop-in services provided! We came home to a calm, happy kitty who could not wait to tell us all about his new friend. In fact, we think he wants us to leave again 😊. We got a ton of pictures every visit, and they happened at the same time every day so kitty was able to keep to his regular schedule. I honestly cannot say enough positive things! We’ve already made a return booking for a future trip.

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 .

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 .

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.

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.
