This is the second time she’s watched our cats & we will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! We love all the pictures & videos she sends us when she’s checking in. We definitely recommend her!”
“It was great to have TJ looking after our cats. He was very communicative and prompt, we felt like they were in great hands while on our trip. He was patient with one of cats that can be a little skittish and he was great with our older cat that needs a little more attention. We will definitely use TJ again and recommend him.”

“Lindsay took such great care of my cat Naomi! She was extremely professional and responsive, and she was so helpful even with some very last minute changes/housesitting needs that I was stressing over. Also had no trouble administering Naomi’s medication and was so attentive to her daily routine. I really appreciated all the detailed updates and cat pics!! I would happily have her catsit for us again :)”

Dan asked me all the right questions and made me feel like I was leaving my dog with someone I had known for years. That is a rare thing.”
“Samantha is so good with our kitty! She is so good about responding to messages quickly and always messages is right away if she observes something out of the ordinary. When we get home our cat is more relaxed than she has ever been with another sitter. Samantha is wonderful with cats and I highly recommend her!”
“Tara is amazing. She’s dropped in twice now with my dog. We had all sorts of issues with the garage door opener and she figured it out so that I didn’t have to rush home to let her in. (Totally my issue). She is also great with the dog. Nice long walks and lots of pictures”

About: I am a behavioral scientist work in a hybrid model (go to office once a week) that spend a lot time researching about healthy living for my own furry baby and others🫶 I pay great attention to my dog's nutrient so that I cook fresh/organic for him and take him to hiking and dog parks. I would make beef and chicken jerky, cheese and carrot biscuits as treats. I basically moved from an apartment to a house for the sake of my dog. He was a 7-week puppy weighted 3 lb when I met him and now he’s 9 years old and 22lb, happy and healthy and kissed everyday! Now we moved together to New England since I graduated from my PhD program. Dogs love me but I adore them more!! I welcome house sitting for your furry friend 🙌👍 I’m a behavioral scientist for preventive oncology (in human) and I work a hybrid job, which means my schedule is quite flexible and I’d like to give my own dog potty breaks every 3 hours during the day. These breaks are often well deserved mental relief for myself between meetings as well. Love to cuddle, giving our fur babies a lot of love. Now I live in a one-bedroom apartment so the capacity for boarding is limited, but I’d love to visit your pet at your place and if they like car ride, I could definitely offer walks in the woods upon prior discussion and an extra charge
“Emily did an excellent job of taking care of our beloved fur babies. She went over and above the call of duty, heading over to visit before the snowstorm and then trekking through thigh-deep snow before the snow removal folks did their job. She sent us updates and photos every day and adjusted their food based on what she noticed. We came home to happy kitties. Thank you, Emily.”
About: I have raised dogs and cats since I was a kid. I've done everything from bottle feeding to crate training to grooming and administering medication. I work full time and have a partner who is around during the day. I have a very well kept schedule of making sure the animals are well cared for in the morning and taken care of in the evenings. I have an unfenced yard in a culdesac, the neighbors are very friendly and I take care of the yard to make sure it is free of anything that might be dangerous

Cynthia is awesome! She was very accommodating and flexible with the plans for caring for our three cats. Her communication was excellent, and we enjoyed receiving her video and photo updates. She is very caring and kind, and was able to befriend our shy kitties! She gave us peace of mind while we were away, and I would not hesitate to book her again. I highly recommend!
Ella took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. Ella was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals, our cats were happy, relaxed, and well fed the whole time. Ella sent updates and photos and a video, which put our minds at ease. Highly recommend Ella for anyone needing a trustworthy, caring cat sitter!
Nicole did a great job taking care of my cats over the holidays! She fed them, gave Bindi a pill twice a day, and spent time hanging out/playing with them during each visit. She also sent updates and a ton of pictures every time she stopped by. I appreciate that Nicole was super responsive and asked questions whenever things were unclear. Thank you Nicole ☺️
Ani was amazing with our elderly cat Karina. I didn't need to worry at all during our trip because Karina warmed up to her immediately which she rarely does with unfamiliar people. Ani was extremely conscientious and thorough in her care and made sure that our elderly girl was relaxed and content with massages and plenty of love and attention. Thank you so much, Ani.

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.

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 Meet & Greet .

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.
