“Ruowei took amazing care of our cat while we were on our honeymoon! He usually doesn’t like new people, but seemed to like Ruowei a lot. She sent us detailed daily updates and left our home in perfect condition. We’ll definitely rebook next time we travel!”
“Lauren was extremely friendly and communicative with me while she was looking after my cats, she went above and beyond by cleaning up messes they made and picking up packages left outside. I really appreciated working with her and would definitely book her again.”
“This was our first 2 week trip away with Sabrila watching our four senior cats who all have different diets and personalities. She did a terrific job and the litter boxes had been kept clean (a problem before we found Rover). Sabrila is a joy to work with!”
“I had previously booked Yiyi for cat visits before and she was super great this time around too! She writes detailed reports and provides excellent care and attention for my cat Joyce. She also takes great plentiful photos.”
“Jackie was so wonderful! She took such great care of our cats and even had our shy kitty feeling playful and social! She left thorough notes after each visit and sent us sweet videos of our kitties as well. She was especially helpful when we received a package unexpectedly and also when the cats caught a mouse that found its way inside after a big rainstorm! It was so much easier to enjoy our trip knowing our cats were in great hands. Jackie is the best!”
“I cannot have enough good things to say about Amy. She went above and beyond all of my expectations, I was able to rest easy knowing my cats were being cared for as if they were her own. I will literally be planning any future trips around her availability, because she simply is the best. All around caring and compassionate human, worth every penny.”
“Emily was our first Rover that we used since we adopted our kitty. She was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. She sent very cute pictures of our kitty as well as followed all directions we gave while we were gone. We would definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs, horses, and rodents, my whole life except a five year stint when I traveled. I have my own dog who’s three years old named Kevin. He’s the most spoiled boy! Kevin isn’t friendly with other dogs so I have plenty of experience walking dogs who need to avoid contact with other dogs. Please reach out with any questions! I look forward to meeting your furbabies and treating them like my own. I work during the day so I am available evenings and weekends. I have a slightly flexible schedule that allows me to be available early mornings. I will follow the pet owners guide to the letter. If you have a preferred walking path, I will take it. I always come equipped with poop bags, toys, and a first aid kit in case of emergencies. If I am caring for your pet in your home I will keep you updated with times, pictures, and a description of the care I provide.
“Our experience was excellent from start to finish. Tamara was responsible, attentive, and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our trip. Both dogs were clearly well cared for and relaxed when we returned. Great communication and genuine care - we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Nouf was fantastic! She took great care of my cat and was flexible throughout my time away. Her communication was clear and I always knew my cat was doing well. She made sure my cat had her dinner with medication, kept the litter box clean, and spent time playing before leaving. I’ll definitely book with her again.”
“CeCe was lovely. She sent photos and video, and left a lovely note upon return. Katie seemed happy and well taken care of when I returned. CeCe also tried to get Katie to play (not an easy thing - Katie is her own entity LOL)”
“Marcela was excellent! This was our first time using her and I couldn’t have been happier. She was extremely responsive, kept me updated throughout the visit, and took great care of both of our dogs. She even cleaned up after them and took them for a walk, even though the walk wasn’t something we had originally asked her to do. She truly went above and beyond. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were being well taken care of while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Marcela and will definitely be using her again!”
“Maryann was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond while caring for our 3 dogs and cat while we were out of town. She spent extra time at our house, made sure everyone was fed, loved on, and played with, and even cleaned up accidents in the house without hesitation. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. We would highly recommend Maryann and will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾”
About: I have two hound mixes and 2 cats that I have learned so much from, especially my two dogs. They are 1 and 3 and definitely have so much energy, but throughout their trainings and behavior changes, I know so much more about behaviors As I am a college student, I have lots of free time over breaks and holidays to go or attend to any pets needs as necessary I care and respect for every clients home as they with and will not over step any boundaries or limits. My goal is to make sure the furry friends are healthy and taken care of and have some little extra company!
“She is seriously the BEST!! So sweet and amazing with Buster, always on time, and was so flexible with going over whenever I needed her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Buster was in such good hands. I will 100% be booking with her again and couldn’t recommend her enough!! 🤍🐾”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - South Riding
Emily did a great job taking care of our cat! She was attentive to what care we requested and was able to adjust when circumstances called for it. She also sent us great pictures of our cat every day and communicated well how he was doing. Our cat got along well with her, and was his normal, happy self when we got home.
Amy was fantastic! She spent a lot of time taking care of our elderly dog and cat, making sure they ate, had clean bowls and fresh water every visit. She was very sweet and gave them so much love and attention. They warmed up to her immediately. I would definitely recommend her, and will book her again!
Jannatul is absolutely wonderful with our furbabies. She has such a calm and caring demeanour, which really puts our minds at ease whenever we travel overseas. My husband and I are particularly anxious about leaving our cats behind, but knowing they’re in Jannatul’s care gives us so much peace of mind. This is our second time using her services, and we will definitely be using her again. We highly recommend Jannatul to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and gentle with their pets.
This was our first time having Jackie assist us with our two cats while we were out of town. We have nothing but great things to say! We appreciate her experience with cats, and the attention to detail in learning the patterns of our fur babies - from their diet to the toys they like to engage with. We highly recommend Jackie and hope to use her services again in the future!
Nouf took great care of my senior dog and cat. She gave me peace of mind while my boyfriend and I were away. My cat ran out the door (because she’s crazy!) and she was able to quickly catch her and bring her back inside safely. Reliable, responsible, responsive, and gave detailed updates + lots of pictures! I would recommend her if you are looking for someone who can handle your furbabies!

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.

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.
