“Kimberly was amazing watching our cats while we were away. She was super responsive and trustworthy. We already hired her again for another trip and wouldn’t hesitate to continue hiring her in the future!”
“Sara is amazing!! She was so patient with our cat Piper and Sara was so respectful of that. Pip can be particular about people but by the third day she adjusted well. Thank you so much Sara 😊”
“Rachel is great with my cats! She takes the time to play with them, in addition to feedings, litter clean up and medications. She even took extra time to secure some of my belongings that had gotten blown over on my balcony after a bad storm. I can always count on at least a dozen fun pictures of my babies playing around, getting treats, etc. I feel so comfortable knowing my cats are well cared for while I’m away!”
“Jonathan was the absolute best. Truly. Was extremely reliable, flexible, and caring for my young cat while I was gone. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a kitty sitter!”
“Grace was super caring and patient with our two girls while we were away! Keeping up with 3 check-ins a day is not easy, but she made sure the pups got some free time. Definitely would recommend!”
“Isabella was a terrific choice to care for our five cats. We appreciated her efforts to ensure our more shy, older cats were fed, while our younger cats devoured their dinner. She definitely met all of our cat sitting needs while we were away from home. We would gladly have Isabella return.”

“Our boy Walter was so happy to see Brianna every day— couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She went above and beyond during our week away and was even willing to help me out with watering my new plants. Can’t recommend her enough for anyone needing TLC for their fur babies!”
“Mariaisabel was so kind and helpful! She took great care of my cats! I was reassured to know that someone who cares was dropping in to check on them while we were out of town :)”
About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and recently, ferrets—which I’ve been having so much fun learning about! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and have spent the last 10+ years caring for them. I’m comfortable handling medications, special needs, and more complex daily routines, and I’m always happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and care instructions. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, plenty of playtime, or a little extra TLC, I’m ready to handle it all! 🐶🐱💕 I currently work for the post office 6 days a week and with my route i’m able to get off between noon and 1pm every day. I have plenty of time in my day to help your pets feel more comfortable without their favorite humans! I do not offer service in my own home, but i’m very happy to come over to your pets home. I plan to follow every instruction and routine that the owners leave for me. It’s important for me to accommodate each pets specific needs.
“Colby did an AMAZING job looking after our 2 dogs and cat. They were so happy to see her every-time she showed up and the communication/pictures about our animals was excellent. I would highly recommend her to watch after any of your animals!”
“Adalynn couldn’t have been a better sitter for our cat Scar. She was always providing updates, sent us pictures, and took great care of our cat. Scar usually is stand offish but he seemed to warm up to her fairly quickly and enjoy her presence. She definitely has experience as she seemed more than comfortable watching Scar and taking care of our requests. I definitely recommend Adalynn for all pet sitting needs and will be using her in the future”

About: I truly love spending time with all kinds of pets! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their animals.

Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn off energy or your cat needs some gentle chin scratches, I am reliable, attentive, and will always send plenty of photo updates! I currently work morning and occasional afternoon shifts, typically from 5 AM–1 PM or 12 PM–5 PM. My schedule still allows me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive and reliable pet care.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Startex
Sara was wonderful with our sweet elderly cat. She gave me a boost of confidence to help push through to begin travelling again after several years of being home-bound with demanding caregiving. It's daunting to get back out there and Sara made me feel very comfortable being away for a few days.

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.
