“Steven took the best care of my two cats, Tango and Mango!! They are rambunctious orange tabbies with big personalities and I was hesitant about using someone unfamiliar to them. Steven offered to do a meet and greet before. He visited daily for two weeks. He did an excellent job feeding them, changing their litter, and spending time with them. Steven provided daily updates and pictures, which was much appreciated. He stayed in communication with me and made me feel at ease. The cats really liked him! I would absolutely recommend Steven to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Kate was great with communication the entire weekend watching my dogs and cat. She sent updates and pictures that let me know how they were doing. She was wonderful!”
“Catherine was wonderful to my kitties and a joy to work with. She’s reliable and resourceful even when my locks were finicky. She went above and beyond to care for my long haired cats, and I am so grateful to her.”
“Paws and crab were well cared for. Suzie had a lot of meds to feed our senior cat. I had wonderful pictures of them playing. This was a twice a day commitment so I was very happy with Suzies time and care. I would highly recommend her.”
“Danielle was fantastic! Super friendly, easy to communicate with. Danielle did drop in visits daily for our cat while we were out of state over the holidays for a little over a week - she even popped over to visit the house and meet the cat prior to our departure. She sent daily photos and texts, even brought in some mail that had been delivered unexpectedly. We're so happy to have found her and will definitely book her again.”
“Holly did a terrific job! She dealt with an unexpected situation (my fault, gave her the wrong key) with ease. She inspires confidence, took the time to take care of everything we requested.”
About: I’ve cared for rabbits both in shelters and in my own home. I also have experience caring for a large, anxious dogs as well as a calm, elderly dog. I’m currently seeking a full-time position in veterinary care, and pet sitting fits my schedule well while allowing me to continue gaining hands-on animal experience. I have fenced areas, and anything that isn’t fenced is kept in x-pens. I’m experienced with handling both large, energetic animals and small, calm ones.
“Elisangela is respectful of the house and it's obvious she's great with animals as our shy kitty who usually needs days of getting used to a sitter took to her right away and greets her in her visits.”
About: For the past few years now I’ve been a dog sitter for my family and friends, walking, playing, feeding, and cleaning up after them I can house sit, dog walk, and do drop in visits, Any time of the day Mondays to Fridays, And weekends if needed anything works. I get to learn pets usually routine. How many times a day to walk them, when and how to feed them, and their bed time.
“Alina was really communicative and sent us a lot of pictures and videos of our pup while we were away. She really connected with our dog and we would definitely use her services in the future!”
“Laura is my favorite sitter we've found on rover! She was excellent with our kitties when we were away. I was incredibly anxious about leaving them for so long but she kept them fed, entertained, and happy. Will definitely rebook with her when we get the chance!”
“Caroline was so great, Harvey absolutely loves her! From the second she introduced herself to him, he took to her. He is normally anxious and a little kiddish but Caroline did such an amazing job making him feel comfortable. Absolutely will be hoping to use her again!”
About: Hey guys, My name is Katy, I have 2 pharaoh hounds. One is 2 years old very energetic and the other is 9 and like to lounge. Having pharaoh hounds has given me all the experience with dogs that need extra exercise, attention and careful supervision. I am comfortable with all size dogs. Please note I only sit male dogs who have been neutered. Unspayed female dogs are fine as long as they are not in heat during my care. I work M-F 8:30-5:30 but I come home for lunch to let the dogs out for a potty break. I am Home 24/7 on weekends I treat every pet like they are my own. I give them love, attention, exercise and make sure to stick to their routines while the owners are away.
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs through dog-sitting for family and neighbors. I’ve cared for dogs during weekends, holidays, and overnight stays, ensuring they are fed, exercised, and comfortable while their owners are away. My schedule allows me to offer flexible availability on weekends and Mondays, making me a great option for pet owners needing care during long weekends, vacations, or day trips. I understand how important trust is when caring for your pet. When your pets are in my care, I will make sure they are fed, walked, and overall cared for. I will treat you, your home, and your pets respectfully and with genuine intent, just like I would with my own home and pets.
About: Hello there! I am a full-time musician and a major dog-lover. I have a 5 year old rescue Australian Cattle Dog mix. I love to play, walk and run with furry friends and make music with them (This is quite an entertaining activity for both of us, and a great way to keep them busy). Most of my experience has been in dog-walking, but I'm also a babysitter and love caring for kids. I have a 1 year old who is the joy of my life! I am available for one-time help with your fluffy friend as well as regular help since my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. I am quick on my feet and great at tidying up after dogs and tiny humans, and can be very firm with pups if necessary. Happy to speak more in person! I’m currently working part-time and mostly on weekends since I’m a musician, so I have quite a bit of time during the week to drop in, feed and walk your furry friends I have a fenced in backyard and an extra crate for pups that I’m boarding, but also make sure that when I’m house-sitting, your fur baby has water, a clean crate and whatever else they need

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Wilmington
The best pet sitter I had for my cats. I had hired a few other pet sitters in the past but Jessica surpassed all of them and exceeded my expectations. The pictures and videos that she shared with me daily showed my cats were happy with her. What more does a pet parent need? Thanks Jessica! You were truly awesome 👏
Kind, intuitive, and easy to work with. Wen Shin, with no advanced noticed, was able to meet me for a key hand off and immediately cover a weekend of drop-ins with my little guy. They took great care of him and followed all instructions. Looking forward to booking again!
Erin checked in on our cats while we were out of town for a couple of days and she was amazing!! Went the extra mile to make sure our kitties were taken care of and sent lots of pics and updates. So grateful to have found her, we recently moved and finding a reliable, trustworthy sitter can be difficult. We will definitely be using Erin in the future.

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.

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.
