“Chrissy was a great sitter for our cat, Nacho. He gets very stressed when we have to board him and this was the first time he stayed with a sitter. He came home and was his usual self... and I actually think he misses her. :) She also sent us a picture of him everyday to reassure us he was doing great. Thank you for keeping him happy and safe!”
“Jennifer is fantastic with our elderly and special needs cats. She can manage their unique diets and medications and is kind and patient with them too. We've had her watch our pets several times in the past and she is our go-to most trusted option any time we need a sitter.”
“Katie did a fine job keeping our cat loved, fed, watered, and addressing his other needs. Her visits were always prompt and accompanied with a photo. My sense is that she's more experienced and comfortable with dogs but she quickly earned our cat's attention and confidence while we traveled.”
“Joey was great. She handled the special medicine put kitties needed and fed them separately. She made sure she undid what they needed and provided excellent communication. Thanks!”
“Alyssa was so great with our kitty Marceline! She responded very quickly when I first reached out, and our kitty was comfortable with her right away. She had great attention to detail and was very pleasant to work with. I could tell from the pictures each day that our kitty was very happy with her! We would definitely use her as a sitter again in the future!”
“Jordana was so quick to respond and made communication so easy. We could tell she really spent quality time with our kitties with how well she spoke about each of their personalities. We would certainly hire her again!”
“Carine was wonderful and my kitties warmed right up to her. She brought her daughter when she was available so the kitties got extra attention twice a day for the long weekend. My kitties still sit by the front door wondering when their new friends will be back💕”
“Adelaide was wonderful to work with! She cared so well for our cats and provided great feedback and pictures from her drop-in visits. She paid attention to detail, communicated well and was a top notch pet sitter! We’ll definitely book her pet sitting services again!”
“Thank you for checking on our cats while we were out of town! It gave us so much peace of mind to know someone was checking on them consistently and spending quality time with them while we could not.”
“Taite was so wonderful with my boy Thor! My first time using a service like this and she was very friendly, professional and provided good photos and information for us while we were on vacation. Will absolutely use her again if I find myself in need of a pet sitter!”
“Ashly was great with my four boys and sought them out to give them some love while she was here. The photos were lovely and I could tell they felt comfort with her. I’ve already hired her for my next work trip.”
“Jan took wonderful care of my cat Aurora while I was on vacation. Aurora is a little over a year old and looked like she had loads of fun playing with Jan each day!! My cat was well fed and watered and loved by Jan while I was gone!! I will definitely use Jan again!! ❤️🐈”
“Ed really goes the extra mile, not only for the pets for whom he is caring, but also with keeping their “parents” entertained with stories, puzzles, and humor. We look forward to each time he sits for us!”
“Jess was so wonderful to have watch our cat while we were away. She stayed at our place and kept our cat occupied with the laser and loved on while we were gone. I appreciated her sending pictures to us as well as coming home to a clean place! I would definitely recommend her and will use her again for the future. Thank you Jess!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Shakopee
Michele is amazing! She took care of my two cats for 2 weeks time frame and did an excellent job! You can tell she truly cares for animals rather than just doing it for the money. My cats warmed up to her and she sent detailed pictures after every visit, and responded promptly to any text messages. I am definitely booking her again when we travel. If you want someone to look after your pets just like you are and not worry about them, Michele is your person.
Alexa does a wonderful job with my senior cat when we're out of town including giving a pill. She leaves helpful notes from the visits that help reassure us that our pet is in good hands. Plus we love the care she puts into a variety of pictures. Definitely 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
