“Matt and Alyssa were great for our cat, who doesn't do well being boarded. The photos they sent while we were away made it clear he was happy to be home, and loved all of their attention. We definitely would book with them again!”
“Wendy is simply wonderful! Our cat was immediately at ease with her. She provided daily updates and photos, and took care of our home as if it was her own. We will definitely be booking again.”
About: I've been a weekly volunteer at various local animal shelters for five years now, working as both shelter support staff with and a dog and cat socialization volunteer. In addition, I have two cats of my own at home who I miss dearly as a college student, and I have plenty of experience with the day to day maintenance and housekeeping tasks of cat and dog owners, alike. In addition, I have experience with geriatric pets and medication administration, both orally and through injections. I understand the importance of sticking to a feeding schedule and can reliably come at the same times each day. Most importantly, I love socializing with animals, and I will make sure that your pet gets plenty of play time in each visit! I'm a current college student, so I have time around my classes to come and visit your pet! I am most available from 6 am-9 am and 5 pm-8 pm on the weekdays, but on the weekends I have much more flexibility and am available all day! I give a lot of attention and love to the pets that I care for. I devote an hour of playtime to make sure that your pet is socialized and happy while you are away! I also think that it is very important that your pet is in a clean and healthy environment, so I make sure to clean their food bowls, refill their waters, and scoop their litter every visit. I also make sure to keep waste out of the house, so I always take out the trash with litter and empty food tins each visit : )
About: I grew up with dogs and have a dog and a cat. I have house sat for both dogs and cats. I have even looked after animals with special needs. I know what it takes to earn an animals trust and make them feel safe and cares for :) I am available to pet sit or check-in on your animals, take them for walks (etc) seven days a week! I have plenty of time to play with and get to know your animals. I am very respectful of clients homes and the rules they lay down. I want to care for your pets in the way you would!
“Kenzie is the absolute best! I felt entirely comfortable with her dropping into my home. She was communicative and had great instincts, and provided amazing care to my cat over the weekend.”
“Super sweet and had an amazing private room for my fur baby with all of the amenities (water foundation, feeder, litter box, cat tower, scratchers, bed, etc.). I also got daily pictures and updates which was amazing. Would highly recommend them as I knew my baby was in good hands. Will definitely be booking with them again!😊”
“Michelle is amazing!! She looked after our two cats for a week and was so good to them. They can be anxious when we’re away and Michelle was very caring and attentive to their needs. She was also highly communicative from the moment we first got in touch and throughout our time away, sending us detailed updates and lots of pics and videos of the cats, so we never had to worry. She went out of her way to spend lots of time with them and take care of things around the house that we didn’t even ask her to! We really appreciate her doing such a thoughtful and thorough job, and look forward to hiring her again. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah was the best cat sitter! She took such good care of our two cats while we were away. She sent a thorough update after every visit including pics of our cats. You can tell how much she loves animals! We definitely plan on using her again.”
About: Hello! I am a part-time elementary school music teacher, and while I love working with kids, I am hoping to add some furry friends to my care! I have over twenty years of pet ownership under my belt. From caring for my own pets growing up, to now helping care for my neighbor's pets, I love getting to know the unique personalities of every pet I meet! I am available for daily walks, vacation check-ins, and overnight stays. In each service, we will go on long walks, have lots of play time, and, of course, belly rubs! I work part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and occasionally work local events and weddings. Generally, I have availability on Monday morning and evening, Tuesday mornings, Wednesday evenings, all day Thursday, Friday mornings, Saturday mornings, and all day Sunday. These are subject to change. I believe in keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. Have a specific walking route, feeding routine, or favorite treat? Whatever is normal and comfortable for you and your pet will be continued while they’re in my care. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home!
“Kristina was wonderful! I needed a sitter fast, and in quick order, she met me at an initial consultation and provided terrific care for my Luma. I definitely recommend!!”
“Fernanda was great! Responsible, responsive, and attentive to the specific needs of my little love bug. I highly recommend her and will request her for future needs. Thank you for providing such thoughtful and informed care!”
“Natasha's great! Good communication, always on time, easy to work with. My cat was under the weather the day I had to travel and Natasha took good care of her and kept me updated until I could get back home. Thanks so much!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for years, both professionally and personally. I currently work as a veterinary technician, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. I have experience administering medications, caring for senior pets, working with puppies, and recognizing when something just doesn’t seem right. Before working in veterinary medicine, I also did dog sitting and dog walking throughout college, so pet care has been a part of my life for a long time. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a huge animal person and treat every pet like they’re one of my own. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and plenty of attention so you can feel completely comfortable while your pet is in my care. Pet care is already such a natural part of my everyday life that it honestly doesn’t feel like work to me. I have several pets of my own, so my days already revolve around feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, medications when needed, and making sure everyone is happy and comfortable. Between caring for my own animals and working professionally as a veterinary technician, looking after pets has become second nature to me. Adding another pet into my routine feels easy and natural rather than like an extra chore. I genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals, so giving them the attention, exercise, affection, and care they need is something I look forward to rather than something I have to squeeze into my day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live in my own three-bedroom home with a finished basement, so there is plenty of space to give pets their own area, quiet time, or separation when needed. I have two dogs of my own: a smaller senior dog who generally prefers to keep to himself, and a 6-month-old puppy who is crate trained. I’m able to manage introductions carefully and keep dogs separated when appropriate so everyone can stay comfortable and safe. Because I work in veterinary medicine, I’m very mindful of behavior, stress signals, health changes, and safe handling. I always supervise interactions closely, follow each pet’s normal routine as much as possible, and make sure they have a secure, calm environment while they’re in my care.
“Claire was a great cat sitter! She was patient and caring with our very shy cats. She was also communicative and diligent about taking care of our home. She even offered to water our plants! We will definitely be booking her again soon.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages for over 15+ years. I treat every animal as if they are my own and truly love spending time with them. I’d love to help you out and care for your pet! I have a very flexible schedule with remote work and school. I can adjust my schedule as needed to best fit your and your pet’s needs. I would be happy to meet you and your pet in advance, if that’s something you prefer! I feel comfortable caring for pets of all ages and abilities.
About: Hi! My name is naomi, i am 26 and live in the greater boston area. I have joined Rover because I have loved animals , and spending time with animals for my entire life. I have had dogs all throughout my life and constantly walked my dogs on a regular basis. I also have had a dog with behavioral issues so i know how to work with all different dogs and understand that they all have different needs. I currently have 2 cats and have had cats my whole life so I am also very accustomed to taking care of cats as well as dogs! I hope to meet some incredible animals and keep them happy! My schedule is very flexible currently as I am between jobs. I also have a vehicle which makes traveling to you and your lovely pets much simpler! I ensure my pet is feeling safe and happy at all times to the best of my ability. I walk and feed the dogs and ensure they are cleaned if necessary. If I also make sure that the animal (cat or dog) has been fed and has enough water, and ensure their water is clean. If I am taking care of a cat, I would ensure their litter box is cleaned at least once a day.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Wayland
Lucy has been an extraordinarily gentle/attentive, detailed, proactive, and reliable care giver for our elderly cat, Harlan. She is exceptionally good at communicating before, during, and after her visits--and even in between booked visits, for example, when we wanted to update her on possible shifts in Harlan's care needs. Lucy sends the best videos and visit summaries. The best. But, the most clear evidence of how good she is as a sitter is the fact that Harlan is in such good spirits when we get home from our travels. Thank you, Lucy, for being such a diligent, trusted, and compassionate cat care giver.
We are fortunate to find Heidi who did a wonderful job with taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She was very attentive, and clearly cared about their well-being. When we returned, our cats looked healthy, happy, and relaxed—which says everything. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We would happily recommend Heidi to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

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.
