“Cynthia is amazing! She spoiled my cats like they were hers. Having her take care of my cats gave me a level of comfort I haven’t had with others. She sent photos every visit and it was clear the cats were well taken care of. Do not hesitate—Cynthia is the best.”
About: My pets are like my babies! I treat them with respect and love as they too deserve it. Youre babies will be in great hands. It fits into my daily lifestyle as Ive always cared for my animals at home and made sure theyre living comfortably! Your pets will have the same! I always make sure to have a routine set and know the right times of the kitty or puppys needs! Its most important to me that they come before me!
About: I love all animals even the initially intimidating ones. I know how to read animals signals and access their comfort level. I give each pet the time it needs to get comfortable so that I can establish a relationship of trust. I'm nether a cat person or a dog person or a tortoise person for that matter, I love all pets equally. I've taken care of virtually every kind of house, pet (including my aunt's chinchilla) thank you got something I haven't seen before? Bring it on. I'm ready for it all. I don't consider taking care of pets to be at shore or work. I take care of them because they take care of me. They keep me calm and grounded, even when things are at their most chaotic. First things first, I treat each animal as if it were my own. I make sure to give each pet the attention it deserves. Upon first introduction and the patients to let it get comfortable when needed. From there I'm happy to take care of any special requests you might require for your pet.
“Alex is wonderful and I would 1000% recommend her to anyone needing their pets and home looked after. This is our second time booking her and will absolutely book her for our next trip. She took great care of our cats and home, is very communicative, and an all around delight! Thank you, Alex!”
“Farrah is a wonderful sitter. I was out of the country for 2 weeks and she took great care of my cat. He can be a handful sometimes but she did great. She regularly updated me and was very communicative and responsive. Will book with Farrah again!”

“Minerva was so great with my cat! She gave her lots of cuddles and attention while we were out of town for the holidays. She also went above and beyond and even brought in some of our heavy chewy boxes without being asked. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 12. I’ve taken care of them for friends and family. I have two cats of my own. I love animals so much. I currently work full time from home so I’m available in the evenings and weekends. Usually weekends I can do anytime unless I have a prior commitment but that’s rare. My own cats stay inside I do not let them out for their safety. I do let them out for a little bit to get sun and to exercise but they’re supervised. I will keep pets inside or outside as needed only. And keep an eye on them.

“I just had hip replacement surgery so feeding my cat and taking care of the cat box was a daunting task. Ariel came fed my cat, took care of the litter box and then asked if she could do anything else. She was sweet, gracious and kind to both me and my cat. I couldn't have asked for anything more at this moment.”
About: I love animals; always have! I used to come home from school and do homework in front of Animal Planet and when it wasn't doing that I was taking care of my neighbor's pets. Cats, dogs and horses and I looked forward to it every time. My responsibilities included walking, playing, feeding and even reading to them (which I have on good authority was very adorable). I'm very excited to take care of your fur babies for you!

“Vanessa cares for our animals conscientiously and with love. She’s fantastic with our pup. Whether you need a walker or siitter, she’s reliable and trustworthy. Could not ask for better.”
About: I have been working in the veterinary field for 5 years. I take a gentle approach and give pets the time they need to get comfortable with me. I’m fairly available throughout the weekdays. On the weekends, I’m available evenings. I could definitely accommodate, depending on your furry pet’s needs! I’d play with their favorite toys and create a comfortable, calming environment, ensuring they feel safe and at ease without feeling like I’m intruding on their space.
“We’re so lucky to have Katherine as our pet-sitter! Our cat Dooney loves her. We were gone for 2 weeks and had no worries about Dooney, knowing he was well-cared for. The pictures she took of him were very reassuring and better than many of the pics I took of my vacation!”

Myla was fantastic. She came by to feed and water our cat and dog. Our cat rarely comes out for anyone but us. But the cat LOVED Myla. She sent us a bunch of both our fur babies looking happy every time she visited. Great sitter! We will definitely call on her again.
This is the second time Hector has cat sit our little guy. We were grateful he was available last minute for 3 visits, and he’s done so well following instructions. He’s also very communicative during the visits and I found that helpful. Definitely keep Hector in mind if you’re needing cat sitting. We have, and have only had super positive experiences.

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.
