“Absolutely amazing! Jennifer communicated, knew how to handle situations and looked out for the best for my cat. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Spencer & Julia took great care of my cat and provided a ton of photos during their time with him! They offered plenty of pets, treats, and cuddles and gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation!”
“Maria was wonderful to work with! Super communicative and had no problem with administering pills for our Junie. It’s so nice to feel 100% confident that your cat will be well cared for while you’re away. Hire Maria!”
“Elizabeth is the best! She has cared for our cat several times now, but our cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes and now needs more care. Elizabeth has handled it all like a pro, communicating clearly and being very patient with my nerves. Thank you!”
“My cat Hannah was well taken care of and in good hands while I was away! Lisa gave great drop-in visits and left Rover cards to keep me updated. Thanks for a reliable service!”
“This was my first experience using Rover and I was very hesitant using its services. But Lucy was really the best sitter I could have asked for. She sent me pictures and videos multiple times a day was very sweet and made me feel comfortable leaving Meeko with her. I would definitely recommend booking with Lucy as I will do so in the future. Thank you Lucy!”
“Anne took fantastic care of our cat while we were away for the weekend - she sent pics and communicated after her visits too which gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Ajia did a fantastic job taking care of our kitten Millie! She gave great updates on how Millie was doing each day, cuddled with her, played with her a ton, and made sure to redirect her energy whenever she was up to something she shouldn’t be. Would highly recommend (:”
About: I have pet-sat for people in my neighborhood for around 10 years. I have watched dogs of all ages and sizes and am flexible with the amount of times you want me to come/what type of care you need for your pets! I can do overnight or drop-in walks! References are available upon request!! I work from home most weekdays and am available on weekends, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets! I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and throughout the weekend. I also offer overnight and extended pet sitting, whether that means staying in your home or stopping by multiple times a day. I truly love spending time with animals and have over 10 years of pet-sitting experience. My goal is to make sure your pets feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands!! I have pet sat for dogs of all ages and will adjust my care for your dog based on their needs. I offer walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care for when you are out of town and they need someone to be around!! I have been walking dogs and petsitting for over 10 years in the northern VA area and have many references available!
About: I've had dogs and cats in my home and I’ve learned that every pet just wants love, attention, and belly rubs! My best friend is a vet tech, so I’m always learning fun tips and tricks to keep pets healthy and happy. Being the oldest sibling, I’ve had years of practice taking care of things (and loving it!). Your pet will be treated like family. I also have my own cat (though he doesn't stay with me right now), so I hope it sets your mind at ease knowing I'm also a pet mom myself :) I'm currently working full-time 8 AM - 5 PM, but I'm looking for any hours outside of that. If you are located anywhere in the DMV area (DC, Arlington, etc.) I have no problem commuting to find your pet for their evening walk. Additionally, I live in a pet-safe apartment in Ballston, VA and have no problem with taking in pets also. I have a 2 Bed, 2 Bath apartment. I currently don't have my cat with me, but will bring him in the next 6 months. Otherwise, the apartment does have a big living room space and I've bought a litter box for my own cat to have later. The apartment complex has a designated area for dogs and other pets to be walked. I will take time to get to know your pet and cater to them :)
“Sarah was incredible, she is professional, courteous and genuine! As our first time using Rover, Sarah went above and beyond to explain the process, meet with our cat Tom and put us at ease. For each visit, Sarah provided a detailed summary of everything she did with Tom, including lots of photos. Tom had his teeth removed earlier this year and his food preparation requires some extra steps, Sarah was more than happy to accommodate. This was our first time leaving Tom with a sitter and overall it was a great experience. We highly recommend Sarah!”
“Jaylyn was amazing! She took such great care of my two kitties, always showed up on time, and helped ease so much of my anxiety about leaving them home for the weekend. She gave me peace of mind knowing they were in great hands! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone, especially if you have a young kitten like I do. 🐱💕”
About: Hello!👋 I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. It taught me how much patience, attention, and love they need to feel happy and comfortable. I’m a responsible, caring to each pet’s individual personality and routine. My family and friend always rely on me to take care of their pets. I’d love to meet your furry friend and make sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away! Iryna I’m currently on sabbatical so I have some flexibility schedule during the week. I have availability for morning or midday walks or drop in if needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m respectful of your home, follow your instructions and your pet’s routine carefully. I make sure doors, gates, and other safety measures are secure.
“Katherine took great care of my senior cat! Betty takes medicine twice a day and Katherine handled that no problem along with other instructions for Betty’s care. Would recommend and use Katherine again!!”

Stacy was wonderful! She took such great care of Louie while we were away, and it was such a relief knowing he was in kind, capable hands. She was reliable, thoughtful, and attentive to his needs, and I really appreciated the care she put into looking after him. It’s not always easy leaving your pet behind, but Stacy made the whole experience so much easier. Louie was in great hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!
Megan was fantastic with my cats! You can tell from the photos that they were all happy and comfortable with her. Lots of calm body language 💕 She absolutely loves your animals like her own. My cats have their own quirks/cat dynamics and she was able to pick on them very quickly. 😊 She has great attention to detail and is a great communicator. She brought up litter concerns with one of my elderly cats, and we were able to work with a game plan. She was able to give my elderly cat his inhaler no problem. He can be shy with strangers but he seemed to really like her! Highly recommend! Thank you Megan!
Another wonderful experience! We have used her several times now, and she continues to be absolutely fantastic with Ollie. This weekend, she was incredibly accommodating with our schedule, making multiple drop-in visits to ensure Ollie was well cared for while we were away. It's such a relief knowing he's in great hands, and we truly appreciate the time, attention, and care she gives him. We couldn't recommend her more highly and will absolutely continue booking with her!
We had booked Juan for four days to watch our cat. Unfortunately, a storm caused us to have to cancel our trip after the first day. Juan worked with us and Rover on how to move forward. On that one day we had his services, he was very communicative, sent photos and videos playing with our cat, and overall checked off all our boxes. Excellent experience working with him!
This was my first time using Rover and Erica made it so easy!! She took great care of my kitten during drop-in visits and made sure to give her some much needed playtime while I was away! It was such a relief to know Margot was in good hands while I was on a last minute trip. Would absolutely recommend Erica and hope to book again in the future! :)
Abby is awesome and consistently goes above and beyond to take care of both pet needs as well as keep a watchful eye on my place. She is proactive about any pet needs and is exactly the responsible individual I want looking after my cat/home when I’m not in town. Always responsive and someone I can truly depend on.
Jennifer did such an amazing job caring for our 4 kitties, even with the complication of having them in two separate areas to keep them from eating each other’s food. I can tell from the photos that every one of the cats felt super comfortable around her and it put my mind at ease while I was away knowing they were getting true attention on top of their needs being met. Jennifer communicates well, is dependable, and clearly has a way with cats. Highly recommend!

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.
