About: Honestly, the rest of my schedule will fit around when you need me. Cats are habitual by nature, and I understand how important routine is, especially if mom and dad aren’t around. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible until you come home! I only have indoor cats, and am not comfortable sitting for cats that are allowed outside unsupervised. I am anal retentive about the safety and well being of any animal I interact with, professionally or otherwise.
“Aline was great! She followed through in every visit by spending time with our cat and making sure her needs were met. Constant communication with us and provided pictures in the rover card.”
“Charmaine did a wonderful job watching Leo!! She was so patient with our very shy guy and put in the time and effort to make him feel safe enough to come out. He usually hides for several days and he came out a lot quicker for her than we expected. Thanks so much Charmaine for being so kind and sweet with Leo!! Your consistent Rover reports made us feel happy and secure while we were away.”
About: As a cat mom of three, caring for cats is a huge part of my everyday life! I have over five years of experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and boundaries. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and giving lots of attention and affection when wanted. I’m also very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and understand how important it is to keep owners updated while they’re away. I’ll treat your cat with the same patience, care, and love that I give my own three. I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your kitty is safe and cared for! 🐈⬛💕 I have a flexible weekly schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my routine throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your cat’s normal feeding and care schedule whenever possible, and I’ll communicate clearly about my availability before accepting a booking. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, litter care, routines, medications, and household safety. I understand that every cat has different boundaries, so I allow them to approach and interact at their own pace. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages and will always reach out if I notice any changes in your cat’s behavior, appetite, or overall well-being.
“Camille was so incredibly thoughtful and prompt with our booking. Our kitties loved her and she immediately put us at ease. She sent thorough pictures and great notes. We will definitely be rebooking with Camille and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Viky is super skilled and handled our grumpy old man cat like a pro. I’d definitely use her in the future and highly recommend her. It’s great to find someone you can trust with your fur baby!”
“Alexis is just great to send pix and text about any issues. She was able to think on her feet about an emergency ant issue (yikes!) in a cabinet with the cat treats. Will absolutely hire her again and again!”
About: I have worked with dogs at doggy day cares, dog hotels, shelters, fosters, and even movie sets! While my profile focuses on dog sitting, I'm happy to take care of your rabbit, hamster, guinea pig, reptile, fish, bird, etc! Let's chat. I work part-time for a yoga studio and my husband or I are always home at night! We love watching movies with our two pooches, and can’t wait to have a movie night with your best friend! I have two friendly chihuahua mixes that love meeting other dogs. I’ll be sure to send you plenty of photos of your dogs during their fun stay!
About: Since I was a kid, I have always had an appreciation for animals. I grew up with a pet bird, helped care for my brother’s dog for many years, and have also walked and looked after my best friend’s dogs while they were away on vacation. I’ve always had a big soft spot for dogs, but having a cat of my own has definitely made my appreciation and love grow even more for cats! I love getting to know each pet’s personality, whether they’re playful and outgoing or a little more shy and need some time to warm up. Most of all, I would want the owner to feel comfortable knowing their pet is with someone who will give them plenty of love, attention, and care while they're away, as that is what I would want for my animal. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to cater to your pet’s needs! I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week and can be flexible with timing when needed. Since I offer drop-in visits, I’ll care for your pet in the comfort of their own home, where they feel most relaxed. I’ll follow your instructions and their normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, or just some extra love and company. I’ll also make sure you get an update so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Every pet is different, so I’m happy to take the time to learn their personality, routine, and what makes them happiest!
“Elissa was an amazing sitter for our kitties! She was incredibly communicative, prompt, and reliable. Not to mention, I could feel how much she truly cared about Coraline and Toulouse. Elissa even did a video call with us to “meet” and go over details before our trip. We will absolutely be using Elissa again for our cat sitting needs. Thank you Elissa for your genuine care and kindness!”
“Rachel is the absolute best. She truly treats my 18 year old cat, Pooka, as if she’s her own. Rachel goes above and beyond during her visits with Pooka. Rather than just doing her job as quickly as possible, Rachel spends time with Pooka during her daily check-ins, and keeps me updated on what they do together during her visits (e.g., have dinner together). Knowing that Pooka has someone spending quality time with her (in addition to meeting her basic needs) brings me a lot of comfort while I’m away. Rachel is dependable, responsive, respectful, kind, and my cat loves her. I highly recommend Rachel if you’re looking for a local pet sitter!”
“Jessica did a fantastic job sitting our playful cat Maverick--we will definitely ask her again the next time we go out of town! She arrived every day at the right time, and was great at communicating and sending us photos and updates. It was clear from the photos that our kitty befriended her--it made us have a better vacation knowing that Maverick was being so well taken care of.”
“Day was fantastic!! Really wonderful, empathetic care & attention to detail for our kitties. We were traveling for 10 days and felt at ease knowing we were in good hands. Great communication and appreciated pictures from each visit. We will definitely be booking again for all future travel!”
“We love Priscilla! She is so good with our cats (especially our shy one) and her communication is great! I always feel comfortable leaving our girls in her care.”
“I appreciate Jasper being able to house-sit with my kitties. They sent multiple pictures which I really appreciated. I had a special situation with cats that had to be kept separated with a feeding schedule. Jasper was very accommodating and friendly. When I forgot to put out wet cat food for my one cats, they found the correct brand and gave them the mentioned amount and stored the rest in the fridge. I am so grateful they were able to assist with my mistake. I will use them again for sure.”
About: I’ve worked in a dog daycare services for the last 8 years. I cared for over 10 dogs or more in a previous daycare home. My duties were to care for all the pups, feed scheduled meals, give prescribed medications, maintain the yard, change dog diapers, and greet clients who were picking up of dropping off their dogs. As of now I dog sit for friends, family members, and for other clients who I have been referred to. I enjoy working with dogs and caring for them. I do have two of my own fur babies who are Lola and Pepper. Hello, I am on summer break from school and decided to start taking care of dogs or dog walking in my downtime which is primarily on the weekends. As of right now I do work M-F in healthcare. If I’m hired to dog sit for a few days I normally check in with owners to see what their dog or dogs routines are.It’s important for me to gather this information to better care for the dogs and to make sure that my client is satisfied with my work ethic. Another thing that I like to do before a dog sitting service is scheduled I prefer to do meet and greets to make sure that the clients and pets are comfortable with me. Every pet and owner is different and I just want to make sure that I’m able to meet their care requirements.
About: I’m a loving, trustworthy sitter that cares about your fur babies. I have 8 years experience with both cats, pups and a combination of the two. I’m a surrogate house mom to 4 fun loving pups most days, and I’m looking to add some additional scratches and pets to my day. I typically hangout with them at their home in fenced gated properties. On rare occasions I will board a pup that I’ve known for some time.
About: I’ve taken care of my two golden retrievers and their 31 puppies all until they’ve left the nest! I’ve been exposed to dog training and all different sizes of dogs. I’ve taken care of puppies, teens, adults, and seniors! I’ve also grown up with 10 cats and litter trained, played, and cuddled with all ages! I am unemployed so I have all the time in the world to check up on your loved ones 24/7. I will constantly be taking them out on walks, playing with them, feeding and taking them out for potty time! I have a fenced yard, and a special kennel in the backyard. Our yard is long and great for playing catch. I also have a senior golden retriever who would love to keep your fur baby company!

Mari did an amazing job caring for our cats! She sent fantastic daily photo and video updates while we were out of town, and it's clear that they had a great time being spoiled by her. We would absolutely recommend Mari to anyone looking for a cat sitter, and we'll be booking with her again in the future!
Lifan was vey responsive and easy to book with. She was extremely reliable and communicative while caring for my cat, Eggs, over Labor Day weekend. Eggs is normally pretty shy but warmed up to her almost immediately. When I got home from being away, he was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend Lifan!
This was the second time Priscilla took care of my cat, and in addition to doing a good job with feeding, playing, and litter, she really seemed to develop a bond with him. He can be bitey and I appreciated that she took this in stride. Her photos and timely updates were a joy to receive while I was away.
Neysa was amazing! My boys are very skittish around peeps they don’t know and they took to her so quickly! She also helped with a few other items we needed being out of town for so long. She also sent great updates and photos of my boys during each visit. Neysa will be our go to for sure the next time we are out of town 😊 and I’m sure my boys already miss her!
Diana has pet sit for my cat Mooney several times and she has been great! She sends pictures and is very responsible. She has also been very responsive whenever I reach out which I really appreciate. She has been able to watch my cat on short notice which is huge. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 .
