“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Sophia is a very dependable, professional, pet sitter- she ensures each of my pets are given attention and love during visits. She has so much knowledge and experience with all types of animals- I felt at ease leaving my fur babies in her capable hands.”
“Natalie did an amazing job of doing drop-in visits for my two cats while I was away on vacation. She made sure they were well taken care of and sent a ton of photos. She went above and beyond making my cats feel comfortable and happy. She even got my shy cat to come out for her! Thank you Natalie!!! 😁”
“Brianna went above and beyond taking amazing care of our kitties. She was a very last minute booking and was not only understanding but extremely supportive in accommodating all our pets needs. We swear we came home to a cleaner house than we left it to! I would recommend Brianna to anyone needing a caretaker for their pet and will definitely rebook in the future 🫶”
“Grace was a reliable and great cat sitter! She was flexible with some last minute plans and accommodating with my schedule. She took good care of my cat while I was away. I would recommend her!”
“I trust Tim. I know my cat and my house are safe in his hands. He goes above and beyond, sending me videos and pictures of how my kitty is doing, and even taking care of important things around the house.”
“Amanda took great care in making sure my three cats (and two goldfish) were happy and healthy. She was a trooper cleaning some "presents" they left for her, too. I definitely recommend her.”
“Valerie was wonderful with my cat! My friend recommended her to me when I needed an overnight sitter at the last minute, and luckily Valerie was available. She was kind to work with and took notes on Momo’s care which I appreciated. My first experience on Rover was a good one because of her! 10/10 recommend”
“Sophia went above and beyond caring for my cats during a massive heatwave, checking in with us and reassuring us that the air conditioning was still working well. The cats were well taken care of! Would absolutely hire again.”
About: I’ve cared for many dogs in my neighborhood and for family friends since I was 12. I have a lot of experience with small and large dogs. I enjoy walking them and playing with them. I’m a current college student with a very flexible schedule. I’m happy to work with whatever needs you have for your pet in your home. I’m very respectful of others spaces and I’ll clean up messes that may happen inside your home too. I will let you know if anything happens during my time with your pet.
“Christine was wonderful taking care of our fur babies (two cats) while we were on vacation. She sent pictures of both cats each day and always responded very quickly when we needed to contact her. We will definitely use her again.”
“Bryan did an amazing job watching our cat Bobbie while we were gone! Loved the photos every day and the great communication before and during our vacation! We'll definitely request her again!”
About: Hello, I’d love to help you with your pet needs and give your pets lots of love, potty breaks, exercise and make sure they are cared for, happy and safe when you are not home. I love animals! I’ve had dogs my whole life. I grew up with Chihuahua’s. Our family had several over the years. Then I had a Cockapoo who lived to 16 yrs old, he was sick, but we cared for him and he still lived a long wonderful life! I currently have a 6 year-old chocolate lab named Maggie. She’s super energetic and brings a special love to our home. We also have a new member to our family, a cat named Suma…she’s beautiful and very playful! I'd describe my personality as kind, caring, organized, and helpful. I’m currently available for early morning, drop-in visits, also quick 30 minute lunch break visits and/or anytime after 5pm to care for your pets! I provide reliable, attentive care by following each pet’s routine and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own home.
About: Hello! I am a 25 year old animal caretaker! I have experience working with many cat and dog breeds. I specialize in high energy dogs! My family and I have been fostering for a non profit organization since 2015. With fosters the ages of 6 weeks to 14 years old. I have always been an animal lover. For fun my mom and I would go to our local animal shelters to hangout with the beautiful souls! I previously worked for an animal hospital as a kennel attendant I had the best time caring and playing with each visitor we had. I have experience offering check in visits and walking dogs in any weather (snow, rain, cold, hot). Thank you for your time and I hope to have the opportunity to get to know you and your fur babies! I’m available for walks Monday- Friday! As early as 7:30 am to 6 pm. Pet services are scheduled within a designated time window. For example, a 30-minute walk can be booked within the 11 AM–12 PM window, allowing me flexibility to arrive at any point during that hour. Even if you have a fenced in yard I will be outside keeping an eye on your pet. If you do not have a fenced in yard I can take your dog on walks to give them time to use the bathroom. If your pet needs to be crated I will be sure to give them a treat or a toy to have with them.
“Julain is AMAZING! He took such good care of my little one and sent tons of photos. I’ve had my friends sit Horus before and honestly he was WAY happier with Julain. I honestly noticed a difference when I came back. He wasn’t as upset with me for leaving and seemed calm, he really liked him. Anyways you won’t regret hiring him at all, truly a pleasure and a really nice guy in general.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Yerkes
Allison is wonderful! She really goes above and beyond to make sure your pets are taken care of! My husband and I went on a vacation and left the cats for 6 days, the only time we have ever done so. She made sure they were fed, played with, she took lots of pictures and assured us that our cats were safe while we were away. We highly recommend using her as a pet sitter!
Brianna took great care of my cat Finley. She followed his feeding instructions and made sure to give him his daily treats in his activity feeders. She went the extra mile and cleaned up a throw-up on the rug, which was much appreciated! 😉 I would definitely recommend her!
Shuhuan is a so kind and professional pet sitter. She took care of our two cats while we were in a week-long business trip. She always came to our house at the scheduled time frame, and played around with our two cats together. She even helped us to adjust the auto feeder clock during the daylight saving time begins on Sunday. It seems like both of our two cats like her very much!
Valerie took great care of my cat for a whole week. I felt comfortable since she sent detailed descriptions of what they were up to, and I loved the pics including a festive new year pic!! I will continue to pick Valerie as my first choice cat sitter since she is reliable and my cat loves her.

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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , 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 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.
