“Joshuah is consistent with communication and our cat seems relaxed when we return from traveling. Really appreciate the info and photos that Joshuah provides! Also really appreciate that he is willing to hang out on the floor and let our old cat sit on his lap!”
“She's awesome! Very communicative and lots of texts and pictures. She loves our animals as much as we do and went above and beyond to make them happy. Don't pass her by and we already booked another trip with her. Five stars all the way and you wont be disappointed.”
“Faith is the best of the best. She is one of the few that our cat Charlie is comfortable with. Faith is very caring and we are always happy to have her check on Charlie when we are away.”
“Five stars PLUS! This was not Mindy’s first stay with us, and it will not be her last — what a blessing to know our kitty and our home are in such capable hands. Mindy always goes above and beyond, and Murray the cat is in a great mood when we return home. Communication is the best (we love seeing photos of what Murray’s up to while we’re away) and we can vacation without a single worry. We’re so grateful, and we know you will be too!”
About: My family has our own dog Wilbur (see profile pic) who I love to take on walks and runs! I also like to play with him! One of his favorite games is tug of war. I’m a student on at Cal Poly SLO. I’m in class Monday-Thursday, with no classes on Fridays. I’m available in the morning and afternoon throughout the week. I’m willing to work with you so we can find the time that works best for both of us! I will make sure your dog is hydrated by offering water during walks. I also like to give Wilbur a treat at the end of our walks, and I’ll do the same for your dog if you like! When checking up on your dog, I will make sure they have enough food, water, and attention.
“Abbey has dropped in on our cats several times while we're out of town. She's responsive and super easy to work with. I especially appreciate that she always sends us pics of the kitties, which gives us so much peace of mind when we're far away. Definitely recommend!”
“Carlos was amazing!!! He took excellent care of my home and elderly cat. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend Carlos for your next housesitting or petsitting needs. I’ve already booked him for my next vacation ?”
“Coral is great! Always on time and kept us up to date with pics, videos, and notes. We had her do daily drop ins for our two kitties for 10 days. We would definitely call on Coral to help us out in the future.”
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life and have care for animals as big as cows to animals as small a guinea pigs. I am comfortable with senior, special needs and high energy animals alike. I currently work 9-5 but have availability before and after office hours and all day Wednesday and Thursday. I am happy to stop in and check on your fur babies early morning or into the evening. My pets are my family and I treat all animals with that same level of love and respect. I want all my clients to know their pets are safe and happy while they are away.
About: I have always been around animals, whether that is cats or dogs. I enjoy house sitting and would love to help anyone that needs a sitter/ walker!

I have a fenced yard and an extra crate to keep your pet safe. I have one friendly dog that loves to have company around.
About: I make pet care easier by coming to you! I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience raising and training three dogs from the puppy stage.

I love dogs of every size and personality—although I have an extra-soft spot for big dogs! I’m loving, patient, dependable, and trustworthy, and I’ll treat your pets like part of my own family. I’m also comfortable caring for cats, horses, rabbits, turtles, and other animals. You can count on me to follow your pet’s routine closely and provide plenty of attention, affection, and updates while you’re away.

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.
