“This was my first time using Rover. Melissa responded quickly and helped me to understand the process. She contacted me before our trip to make a visit to meet our cat and talk about his needs and routine. She checked in after every visit to update me on how he was doing. She brought him treats to entice him to eat and visit with her. I felt very comfortable leaving him at home knowing Melissa was taking care of him. She went over and above ensuring his litter box was cleaned and emptied. I really appreciate her professionalism. She is very good with cats.”
“Stephanie was fantastic! She took very good care of our cat and gave daily updates with pictures. I would highly recommend Stephanie for any pet sitting needs.”
“Excellent service! My cat was in great shape and everything had been taken care of exactly according to instructions. I got detailed updates every day, with pictures, so I never had to worry about how he was doing. I would highly recommend Simone!”
“Chelsea did a fantastic job. We’ve had her drop in to visit our cat while we were away. Our kitty is usually skittish with people, but she let Chelsea pet her and would greet her at the window when during visits. I’d highly recommend Chelsea as a pet sitter.”
“We had a crazy week because of hurricane Milton, but Cheyenne was amazing in making sure our cats were taken care of while we were gone. She communicated with us and our skittish little furball adores her now which is amazing. This is the second time we have booked Cheyenne and we plan on using her again.”
“Absolutely wonderful sitter! I am always highly anxious about leaving my cats behind when I travel, but James’s very thorough report cards and photos made me significantly less anxious about them. The cats loved him and I returned home to 2 happy kitties ☺️”
“Lidia was exceptionally attentive to our pets during our vacation even administered medication to one of them. She kindly sent us daily updates and pictures. We certainly hope she will be available to assist us again on our next trip.”
“10/10, I would absolutely book with her again! She made the entire experience seamless from start to finish. Communication was excellent, everything went smoothly, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Maria is an absolutely a gem! I was nervous to have someone come to my home to check on my cat while I was away. Maria eased my mind a ton! I can't say more good things about her! I will absolutely have her watch any of my pets in the future!”
“Gabriella was absolutely fabulous with our cat, Penny! She was prompt, dependable, and clearly takes great pride in her work. Everything was left clean and tidy, and her consistent communication gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We received photos of Penny—which made our whole family so happy to see her looking comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Gabriella to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. 😻🐾”
“Jaclyn was great with my cat, Bella. She came at all the right times, made sure she was fed and had enough water, checked her litter every day, spent time, and played with her. I got plenty of pictures reassuring me that she was well taken care of. I would definitely seek out her services should I travel again.”
“I’m so grateful to have found Courtney. She takes excellent care of my two kitties, just as she would for her own. I love the photos and notes she shares with me after each visit.”
“Jennifer is amazing and will treat your fur babies like her own. Very easy to communicate with and very patient. My wife and I enjoyed our vacation because we knew our cats were in good hands. My cats were at ease and were quick to settle in at home as if they stayed at a family member’s home. Jennifer is very attentive and committed to making your fur babies comfortable. I will definitely consider Jennifer going forward because of this great experience.”
“Samantha is awesome with my pets. She has come by for last minute drop ins and has always been reliable, friendly, and kind. Would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!”

Stephanie was absolutely fantastic, as always! Ollie absolutely adores her, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s with someone who genuinely cares about him. This visit, Ollie was a little under the weather, and Stephanie truly went above and beyond taking care of him. She was incredibly attentive, made sure he was comfortable, and even handled the extra cleanup that came along with him not feeling his best. She really went the extra mile for both Ollie and me, and I can’t tell her how much I appreciate it. I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone I trust so completely with my boy.
We were so grateful for the wonderful care Aimee gave our senior diabetic cat. Aimee reviewed the details of his needs and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was loving and attentive, handling his insulin injections with care. We highly recommend her!
Chelsea is so sweet and sent pictures for every check in. My 2 cats were often hiding but she stayed for a bit and always sent good updates! I am always nervous about leaving them when we travel but Chelsea made me feel so much better about it. Will definitely rebook when we travel again.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sabrina. As soon as we met, I knew she would be a wonderful cat sitter. She took care of my babies like they were her own, and they warmed up to her right away. She is extremely professional, but very sweet and personable also. I recommend her highly and of course I will have her watch my cats whenever I have to go out of town. The peace of mind I feel with her is awesome. Thank you, Sabrina.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wellington. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
