“It was a pleasure working with Kelsey while I was gone visiting family. She showed up at the time scheduled, gave my rabbits attention, cleaned up their area often, and communicated consistently. She even brought them lettuce and crafted a little hay roll in a paper towel cardboard for them to play with. I could tell my rabbits were happy and healthy. I would recommend Kelsey and plan to reach out to her again in the future!”
“Misao took amazing care of our cat while we were out of town. She was very conscientious, gave us regular updates, brought in our mail and packages, and left the house cleaner than when we left. Not only was she incredibly sweet, she was timely, followed our detailed instructions perfectly and was overall a great pet sitter! Highly recommend and would hire again :)”

About: I grew up with an AKC dog breeder as a parent and helped with raising and training and cleaning everything, they are adorable but can be messy and I grew up having the patience for them.

I’d love to see them all be happy and live life likes it’s an animal vacation home and I’m there nanny. If I’m watching them in your home or their safe place, then I will make sure they aren’t scared of me being there and love on them and take them out on walks or give plenty of cuddles, I do always bring treats if they like them or there isn’t allergies, if they make messes I will absolutely clean so it’s like it never happened, I want you to trust that they are in good hands and come home not worrying about a thing.

“This was our second time with Alex, they did an excellent job with our kitty and my guinea pig! Our kitty is pretty shy but after a few visits she started to warm up to them. Now our kitty can get snuggles when we are gone, especially when she's picky on who she likes.”
“Brieanna did such a great job taking care of my cat Thor while I was away for a few days! She’s kept me updated with plenty of pictures during her visits and spent some good quality time with him while she kept him company. I highly recommend booking her!”

Jonah went above and beyond. I asked for minimal tasks and he simply went ahead and did things with no needed guidance. He has a caring heart for all of our cute animals. Please please pleaseee book this amazing person. YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY WORRIES under this prestigious care.
My pets are very simple. Heathy cats and fish. But my little Izzie gets nervous if she feels abandoned, and then she eats too fast, and pukes...well. You get the idea. I have never, never seen her so happy after a long trip. Whatever James did was PURE MAGIC. He sent me pictures of my little girl curled up in his lap, or madly playing chase. Each time he sent a note about how he sensed she wanted something and then he gave it to her. He took the extra step to truly see my pet. I am so blessed to have found a sitter who really wants to learn how to care for those around him. I will definitely be using him again!
Mitchell was amazing! Very communicative and did everything we requested of him. Booked drop ins for two nights and two mornings. Our cat Miko loved the attention and received lovings when he allowed lol. Our two other cats were a lot more shy. Treven and I are very appreciative of Mitchell (and the kiddos 😉)!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 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.

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 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.
