“This was our first time using Tooba and we were very happy with the care she gave our cat. We could tell from the pictures she sent that our cat was comfortable with her and getting the attention she needed. We will definitely book her again when needed.”
“Kelly stayed at my house with my cat for 10 nights, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Super proactive in communication, sent pics and updates daily, left the house in great shape (I really couldn't tell anyone had been here!) and was flexible in the end when my travel plans changed due to weather. Oh, and I could tell she genuinely enjoyed hanging out with my cat, which makes it all the better. Hope to be able to hire her for future needs!”
“I am so thankful to have found Kimberly on such short notice. She took great care of my cat Cheddar. Kimberly was very professional, kind, friendly and responded quickly. I highly recommend her and will gladly have her take care of Cheddar again.”
“Perfect match with my lab on this first 60 minute walk.. Bonding immediately, Maggie confidently left me to walk with Yazmin S. They returned on time and Yazmin even texted me with heads when were heading home.”
“Kim is great, she sends photos, communicates well, and our cat has fun going to her home. Each time he visits he has gained and displayed more confidence and comfort at being there... He loves spending time socializing with her cats. We highly recommend Kim as a cat sitter.”
“McKenna was absolutely wonderful taking care of our cat Arya! She followed all of our care guidelines and feeding routines perfectly, sent great photos and updates with every drop-in visit, and gave Arya plenty of love and playtime. It gave us total peace of mind knowing Arya was in such reliable and affectionate hands while we were away. We will definitely be booking McKenna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter!”
“Maya stayed with and took care of our old scaredy-cat while we were out of town. She was super sweet with him, very communicative with us, and took/sent us lots of photos. I would 100% recommend her for your pet-sitting needs. Thank you for taking such good care of Mu, Maya!”
About: I've been working with horses since I was 8 years old, along with all the furry creatures around them! I love all animals and make fast friends with most. I have experience in maintaining feeding and medication routines, house sitting (including multiple pets), play sessions, long walks (on the beach or otherwise), bath time, and keeping anxious pets company. I currently have a very flexible schedule as I pursue my modeling and acting career! I'm available until 5pm on weekdays and am flexible on weekends. I have two cats at home, so I do not offer boarding or daycare services at my home. I am more than happy to take care of your sweet babies in the comfort of your own home and make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention!
“Sydney was great with all of our kitties, including giving medication and extra TLC! She was communicative and willing to do anything needed. (She was also wonderful with our dogs, who traveled with us, but loved meeting her!)”
“Brianna did a fantastic job taking care of our 3 cats and keeping things in order at our house while we were away for an extended vacation! We look forward to having her back next time.”
About: Hi! I'm a full time stay at home mom of two kids and a pet parent of two furry family members, Togo (our beloved dog) and Ninja our cat. Animals are a huge part of our everyday life and I know how important it is to find someone reliable and caring to look after your pet because I want the same level of care for my own. I've always loved animals and caring for them has naturally become part of my everyday life. Along with several years of dog walking and pet sitting experience, I volunteer with local dog shelters where I've successfully completed different training programs in dog behavior, safe handling and basic obedience. I'm comfortable working with dogs of all sizes including rescue dogs who may need extra patience and love. Since I'm home full time your pet gets lots of attention throughout the day, frequently potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles and lots of love. I stick closely to routines, follow your instructions and pay attention to body language so your pet feels safe and comfortable. I love sending photos updates and messages so you can see how things are going while you're away. My goal is simple: give your pet loving, reliable care and treat them like part of our family. I'm currently a stay home mom of two kids (10 and 13) and our two furry best friends Togo and Ninja. I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and give them the attention they need. I have a big fenced yard and a gentle, funny and loving dog, Togo and our cat Ninja who likes to sleep all day long!
About: I’ve been unofficially pet sitting throughout my entire undergraduate experience, caring for pets for friends, classmates, and others who needed someone they could trust. As a dog mom myself, I know that taking care of someone’s pet means so much more than simply feeding them, taking them outside, and making sure they’re safe. I want them to feel comfortable, loved, and genuinely excited to spend time with me! One thing that definitely sets me apart is that I talk to pets like they’re people! I believe verbal stimulation and interaction are so important for building trust and creating a connection. I love getting down on their level, talking to them, playing with them, and learning their individual personalities and quirks. Animals read energy incredibly well, so I always bring lots of positive energy, patience, and affection. I’m also a very active person, and I believe our pets love staying active too! Whether that means a long walk, playing outside, throwing a ball 100 times, or just keeping them entertained inside, I’m happy to match their energy. At the same time, I understand that every pet is different, so if your pet would rather curl up next to me and get attention, I’m more than happy to do that too. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re spending time with a friend, not just a sitter. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine! I like to wake up extra early, usually around 6 a.m., to make sure my own dog gets a good walk before I head to class. He’s a husky, so our early morning walks mean cooler weather for him and, of course, plenty of time to roll around in the morning dew! I typically have a break in the middle of the day when I come home for lunch and another walk, and most of my evenings are spent studying and cuddling with my dog on the couch. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings to give other pets that same level of attention, exercise, and companionship. I know firsthand how important it is to have people you genuinely trust with your pet. I got Bucky (my chocolate lab/husky) as a puppy during my sophomore year of college, and I was incredibly lucky to have a “village” of people who helped me raise him. Whether I was in class, away at a track meet, or simply couldn’t get home, I never had to worry about whether Bucky had been fed, taken outside, or even gotten safely out of the building during a fire alarm. I’m still so thankful for the people who loved and looked out for him when I couldn’t be there, and I hope to provide that same sense of security and peace of mind for other pet owners. I want you to be able to leave knowing that someone is not just checking on your pet, but genuinely looking out for them. I treat someone else’s pet with the same level of care and attention I would want someone to give my own. I think animals are very good at reading our energy, so I focus on creating a calm, positive, and comfortable environment where they can warm up to me at their own pace. I love getting down on their level, talking to them, playing with them, and learning their individual personality and routine. Safety is always my priority, so I’m careful with doors, leashes, feeding instructions, medications or special needs, and anything else their owner tells me is important. In a client’s home, I also respect that I’m entering both their space and their pet’s space, so I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, safe pet who felt like they got plenty of attention while you were away.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 12 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs as well as turtles, hamsters and birds. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to the little details that help pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s established routine, from feeding and exercise to playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I also have extensive experience caring for senior and special-needs pets, which has taught me to be especially observant of changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall well-being. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I would want for my own. I am open to caring for other pets as well including reptiles, rodents, birds etc! ❤️ I’m currently in my last year of nursing school, so my schedule varies throughout the week, but I plan my availability carefully and only accept bookings I know I can reliably accommodate. I have flexibility for drop-in visits on many days and will communicate clearly about my availability before booking. When possible, I’m happy to coordinate visits around your pet’s usual feeding, medication, potty, and care routine. I care for every pet as if they were my own and take the responsibility of being trusted in someone’s home seriously. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions and do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention based on their individual needs. I’m very observant and will communicate promptly if I notice anything unusual with your pet’s behavior or well-being. I’ll also provide photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away.
“Rebecca took great care of my cat while I was out of town on short notice. She sent me cute pix and updates as requested. I knew my cat was in good care with Rebecca, and I highly recommend her!”
“Very professional. Did a great job taking care of our two cats. One of which is very shy and requires oral medication administration. Absolutely would recommend and book again! :)”
About: I've cared for my neighbors cats and dogs for several years and love to volunteer at a local animal shelter where I spend my time loving on and walking the dogs. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I can provide feeding, walking, cleaning and any other services you may need. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I’m currently on summer break and have plenty of time to play with your pups! Let me know a time and I’m more than sure I can make it happen. I love spending time outside and exercise daily so I'd love to spend time with your animal outside. I would like to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while you’re away. Just let me know what a typical day for them is like and I’ll make sure they have a peaceful and fun experience while you’re away. I love playing with dogs and going on walks to make sure they have a blast while I’m caring for them.
“Addison didn’t a wonderful job looking after my cats and home. The cats looked happy and the home was in great shape on my return. She was great at communicating and I would definitely request her in the future.”

Sarah is our go-to cat sitter and we’ve been so happy with her every time. She follows every instruction carefully, including the more complicated ones around separating the cats, and took extra time with my more anxious cat, which really helped him settle while we were away. Sarah is very reliable, thorough, and clearly cares about the animals in her charge!

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.
