“Tess was so easy and quick to communicate with and did a great job watching Nora during my trip. I appreciated that she was willing to arrange a meet and greet a few days beforehand to make sure we were a good match and to ask all possible questions about Nora’s care. Tess did a great job keeping me updated about Nora while I was gone and I look forward to working with her again and recommend her with enthusiasm!”
“Tori was excellent! She made me feel very comfortable leaving my kitty over the holidays because i knew he would be in great care. She was also very responsive. Would definitely hire Tori again!”
“Alexandru did a great job with my Wally and Jasper. I came home to happy cats and clean litter. He sent lots of photos and good updates. He even got Wally to come say hi, which is a definite feat! Thank you for taking the time during the holidays to see my boys (:”
“Amaryl was extremely kind and made us feel very at ease while we were away from our cats. Super responsive, respectful, and considerate. Will be booking again with Amaryl!”
About: I have 2 years of experience caring for my own Bichon Frisé and have always loved taking care of animals. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every pet like they’re my own I’m able to plan visits around my work schedule and make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I’m dependable and will always communicate with you about timing and your pet’s routine I have a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly home where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I also have access to a dog park. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while they’re away from home
“AmariYah was excellent. Great communicator, intentional in asking questions about my cat and her needs, and was very attentive and sent pictures with each visit. Highly recommend, and would definitely contact her for care in the future.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since childhood and have always enjoyed caring for animals with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I have experience working at a pet boarding and daycare facility, caring for dogs ranging from small breeds to very large dogs, as well as cats, and helping maintain their routines while their owners are away. I’m comfortable providing regular walks, exercise, and one-on-one attention based on each pet’s individual needs. I’m also comfortable following specific care instructions, including administering medications such as eye and ear drops and insulin injections when needed. Over the years, my friends have regularly entrusted their pets to my care, including for extended stays, and I’m now the owner of Arnie, my 3-year-old rescue Goldendoodle! I understand that every pet is different, and I believe great pet care means being patient, attentive, dependable, and following each owner’s instructions. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I would want someone to give my own pets. Need someone to check on your dog while you’re at work? I’m available weekday mornings and afternoons for walks and drop-in visits. I’m especially interested in helping families who need a reliable person for regular weekly visits. My current availability is Tuesday–Thursday, generally between 9 AM and 1 PM. I prioritize safety, communication, and keeping pets comfortable in their familiar routines. I pay close attention to details and carefully follow each owner’s instructions—the clearer the expectations, the better—while providing a calm, secure environment and happily sending pictures and updates during walks or drop-in visits.
“Taylor was simply exceptional! Great communicator, timely visits and loved reading her updates. She took great care of our cat while we travelled over the holidays! Highly recommend”
“We hired Brendan to stay at our house for our week long trip to watch our Orange Tabby, Popsicle. We had a list of things we wanted him to do on a daily basis for Popsicle and he was diligent in following that list. We received a morning and evening photo and corresponding with Brendan was very easy. Brendan cares deeply for being on time and being responsible and was certainly a professional pet sitter for our cat who we love so much.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and of all ages. but I have specifically taken care of puppies and middle age dogs. Those dogs I have worked with the most with. I had a senior dog in my household that I took care of until she unfortunately passed from cancer and I had administered medication to her and such. I have also taken in 2 foster dogs one with separation anxiety and other medication issues due to being in the shelter. I would have to give her medication and baths on the regular due to her having multiple accidents in her crate. With the second dog they were a 2 month old puppy that I fostered for a weekend and took to an adoption event where they had gotten adopted. I want to make sure all animals are loved and cared for while there owners are away and so that the owner don’t have to worry and know there fur babies are okay. I take care of my pets at home already so it’s really just a built in thing for my schedule. It’s an easy thing to do during the day or to end your day with as well so it all just fits in nicely. And who doesn’t want to end their day with some snuggles. I want to treat my clients pets how I would want my pets treated. I wouldn’t mind any them to be pushed to the side or just be let out and then leave I would want my pets to be played with and have some attention and love before heading out just so they know that someone is looking out for them until their owners are back
“Savannah was amazing! She took care of our three cats while out of town for the weekend. You can definitely tell she is a caring person as she came over to meet them beforehand and our 2 adopted boys actually let her touch them. Typically they go and hide whenever someone comes to the house, but not with her. They obviously enjoyed the time spent with her as when we mention her name around them they perk up. 11/10 - she will definitely be our go to sitter in the future!”
“Carly was so reliable and responsive when we asked her to pop in on our cat Olive over Fourth of July weekend. She let Olive in/out at the designated times and always made sure she had fresh food and water (during a heatwave). Olive warmed right up to her and allowed her to give her some butt pats. Highly recommend Carly for any cat sitting needs, will definitely use her in the future!”
“Jennifer was great with our cats while we were on vacation. Good communication. Sent pictures everyday so we could see our cats happy and safe Will definitely book with her again”
“10/10 reccomend was awesome. communicated all the time with fast responses and was very friendly and comfortable to ask questions and make sure everything was good. 100% would book again.”
“Suzanne was great with my cat and sent detailed updates after each visit. She was kind enough to come do a meet and greet beforehand as well. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve been the designated pet sitter for my family and friends for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I also have two cats of my own who I absolutely adore. I’m comfortable following specific routines, giving lots of attention and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent check ins, attention, playtime, walks, and care based on your pet’s normal routine. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I’m very careful about doors, food, medications, and anything your pet could get into. I have two cats of my own, so keeping pets safe and comfortable is something I take very seriously.

AmariYah made this such a great experience, as this was our first time using Rover! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and it looks like our pets absolutely loved the experience too! She was very thoughtful and generous with her time, and her care of our little fur babies!

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 .
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 , 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 .

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
