“Ally did an excellent job caring for our cats while we were away. She wrote detailed reports and posted several pictures that really helped me understand how the cats were doing. Not only did she tend to their basic needs but she tried to coax the older scaredy cat to come to her, and made some progress but respected the cat’s boundaries. Our younger cat warmed up to her and we saw several pictures of the kitty enjoying being petted. Ally cleaned up messes, washed the cat bowls. She really provided us with great piece of mind!”
“Tim has been incredibly professional and great with out year and a half year old Australian cattle! After only two visits she is incredibly excited to see him despite normally be anxious with new people.”
“Kristin was amazing with our lab, Lilo. She was so caring and was fantastic with communication and pictures. Gave us such peace of mind to know that our pup was in such good hands. Lilo already misses her (and the PB Kong treats)!”
“Sofia was great! She dropped in twice a day, for 6 days, while we were on vacation. We had an unexpected health issue with our one dog, and she went out of her way to make his life easier while we were gone. We were sent plenty of photos and could see that all of our pets really connected well with Sofia. I would recommend her to anyone who's looking for a great pet sitter!”
“Natalie is the kind of caregiver who goes above and beyond to ensure your furry ones get all the care and attention they deserve. She did a great job taking care of our two wonderful labs while we were away. We highly recommend her for any short term or long term services you may be looking for.”
“Jess is great and so kind! She was available last minute and quickly set up a meet and greet with my girls Layla and Phoebe. They instantly took to her, thanks to the treats she brought them! Jess took great care of the dogs while I was away and sent me pics of them bonding. I certainly recommend her as a pet sitter and I will be using her in the future!!”
“Jordyyn was amazing with our 6 cats. She made sure they all got their meds, were feed twice a day and she even bonded with and brushed one of our fur babies! Our cats aren't the friendliest, but she managed to pet them and make them feel comfortable around her. Jordyyn is punctual, friendly and detail oriented and I would use her again in a second to take care of my pets!”
“I feel so lucky to have found Rachael to check in on my two cats every day while I was away for 10 days. She’s super communicative and reliable and I would recommend to her anyone and be so happy to work with her again.”
“Skylar did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats while I was away for 2 weeks on business. My cats warmed up to her quickly. The care was complicated by some medical issues with my cats, and the fact that I had just recently moved to a new place, but she handled everything fantastically and kept the cats happy and healthy”
“Bri took wonderful care of our cats and garden while we were away for the weekend, and it was reassuring to know they were in such good hands. She fed them, played, and gave medicine which was so crucial. Thank you so much!”
“Valerie cared for our two larger dogs while we were on vacation. She is terrific and I would recommend her to anyone. She really cares about maintaining the pets routine and making them happy. She follows any instructions you provide, shows up on time and is highly communicative. Our dogs are high energy and need structure which she easily handled. She put our minds at ease with her professionalism and love of animals.”
“Paige is a very kind and compassionate sitter, we had her taking care of our cat for a week and she was always super communicative and helpful! We will definitely hire her again!”
“Thank you, Autumn, for taking wonderful care of Ashley, our tabby. We so appreciate your attentiveness to her and your willingness to pick up the mail and water plants. Ashley is super relaxed and happy and our plants thriving in spite of the heat. Looking forward to asking you to watch her in the future!”
“Very responsive and sent me a picture. Great walker! Zoë was great when I came back despite the long day in the crate for her and only one walk. He didn’t mind that she had a broken toe and cone of shame.”
“I am so happy that I chose Grace to take care of Puck. He is 14, blind and quite shy, used to being with just me. I could tell from the pictures that Grace made friends quickly with him and provided lots of cuddles and “pets”. I will definitely book her again as she is a 10 out of 10!! Thanks Grace.”
“Maxi was great with our Tortie-girl. She kept us informed, communicated, sent photos, very responsive & took good care of her specific needs. Will ask her again next time!”

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. 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 Yerkes. On Rover:

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.
