“Lydia provided above and beyond care while dropping in on our two kitties during our vacation. My usually shy and skittish cat warmed up to her almost instantly. When my typically social cat decided to play hide and seek, Lydia didn't just move on. She made sure to lure him out, even having me record my voice to help call him, although a good old bowl of food is what finally did the trick lol. To top it off, when our AC went out due to a tripped breaker, she noticed right away and fixed it so our cats wouldn't get overheated!! She is attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely loves what she does. Receiving her detailed daily updates gave us complete peace of mind, knowing our pets were in the best possible hands. Do not hesitate to book Lydia. I truly can’t say enough good things!”
“Zeel was great! She played with my cats, cleaned up their messes, communicated with me each day while we were away, and sent photos! I would absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Jennifer was awesome checking in on my 2 cats while I was away at a conference. We texted and also spoke via phone about each cat’s need, how they may respond with a new person, and my expectations. She spent the time of the short check in to ensure they were fed, watered, and did play time with them. She also kept me apprised the entire time. I plan to use her in the future and highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up on a small farm and currently live with one sweet cat and two fun pups! I’ve house sat and worked with a wide range of animals- from dogs and cats to fish and farm animals- often caring for multiple pets at once. I’m flexible, dependable, and always willing to adapt to each pet’s routine and personality. I’ve just finished a work contract and have a flexible schedule for the next few months. I’m available most days and can easily adapt to your pet’s routine! I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable. I take great responsibility in respecting your home and space, follow routines closely, and provide dependable care with regular updates!
“Michael maintained great communication with us. Our cat was elusive, but he was kind enough to stop by an extra time or two to make sure she was eating and drinking. We appreciate his dedication!”
“Erin did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Mia! Erin is very sweet and Mia liked her a lot (which says something!) Would definitely recommend Erin for anyone needing pet sitting.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since my early teens. Majority have been my personal pets and have lived very spoiled lives full of lots of love and belly rubs. I’ll be taking online classes at a community college in the fall. Until then, my schedule will be mostly free with a few breaks for spending time with family and my own fur babies. I make it my job to ensure that all pets, whether they are my own or a strangers, have all of the necessities they need such as food, water, and comfort. They’ll be sure to receive lots of love and pets under my care.
“I would highly recommend working with Margaret. She went above and beyond for our 2 cats while we were out of town. She was able to administer medication to our older cat and sent detailed daily updates with how they were doing. She so clearly cares about all animals and it shines through in her work. Leaving your pets for any amount of time is difficult, but in Margaret's care you can be confident they are well cared for.”
“Celina is awesome! She was great with communication and kept us well updated after each visit. Even though it was our first booking with her, it felt like she had known my cats for years. They were so comfortable with her and it was obvious she really cared about them. I will definitely be booking Celina again!”
“David did an outstanding job taking care of my cat, Jaxson, while I was out of town. He was very communicative throughout the entire stay and regularly sent photos and videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while traveling. Jaxson can be territorial and isn't always the friendliest cat with new people, so I was pleasantly surprised to see him playing and interacting with David. That alone tole me a lot about his patience and ability to connect with animals (the cat whisperer). I can tell he loves all animals! David also went above and beyond with the little things. He kept the litter box clean, rinsed out the food cans, left everything neat and tidy, and figured out a few household routines that I forgot to explain. When I returned home, everything looked great and Jaxson was happy and well cared for. I trusted David with access to my home while I was away, and he proved himself to be reliable, thoughtful, and professional. I would gladly hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.”
“This was our second time using Rover for vacation and I was super anxious about leaving my anti social cat Cheyenne. She’s hard to get to know (as some cats can be). Disha was reassuring and ontop of things from the first meet and greet! She was thorough and really made it known she would care for Cheyenne like she was hers. Throughout our vacation, I had spotty - to no signal with limited access to wifi, Disha still communicated with me and went onto suggest other ways to keep in touch! She even did an extra visit when my cat puked quite a lot one of the days to ensure she was okay! We loved having Disha watch Cheyenne and recommend her highly! We will continue to book with her in the future if she has availability! She even made friends with Cheyenne quite a few times (which some of our close friends have failed in) and really took the take time to care for her. We so appreciate you Disha and thank you!”

I live alone with my furbaby Koda,and I love all animals! I have a year old chocolate lab who loves new friends. I have a fenced in back yard and I have a crate if needed.
“Just moved into new house in new state. Planned to visit my best buddy and his wife for Christmas. But had to find someone to watch over my kitty! Karen was my miracle solution! She was so nice, friendly, and obviously caring of my little man. (He took to her immediately.) Thank you so much Karen. I'm looking forward to my kitty being in trusty hands on my next excursion!”

Lydia was absolutely wonderful! My boyfriend and I have ZERO complaints about Lydia's service; we were able to relax and have no worries on our trip knowing that our fur babies were in Lydia's good hands! I loved getting pictures every drop in just to ensure that our cats were being well taken care of!
First time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Sydnie was great. She visited our outdoor cat for 30 minutes/day for a week, ensuring he had food and fresh water. It was such a relief having her visit with photo check-ins - it allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about his wellbeing. She even stopped by twice in one day because she didn’t see the cat on the first visit. We will definitely use her again and you should feel confident booking with her.

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.

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 .
