“Amy is absolutely incredible! She is kind and compassionate and took the best care of our girls. She was thorough and trustworthy and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Amy. She will go above and beyond for you and your fur babies. What a wonderful experience to have someone care for our animals as much we do. We are looking forward to working with Amy in the future. Thank you for everything Amy! And we mean, everything! 😉”
“Grace went above and beyond to make sure our five cats were happy while my husband and I were on our vacation. She sent detailed and caring updates along with pictures of each cat every morning and evening. It was such a great feeling not having to worry how everything was going back home.”
“Megan did a great job with our three cats, She is very warm and affectionate with animals. Medication administration was done with great care. Instructions were followed well. She was very understanding about one of our cats who is wary of strangers. Very happy with her service, especially because it was a last minute request!”
“Katharine did an excellent job taking care of my cat via drop-in visits while I was on vacation. Katharine is kind and friendly, very responsible, and experienced with cats, as a cat owner herself. She does a perfect job following directions and communicating, and she was very easy to work with. I highly recommend booking Katharine as your Rover, and I hope to work with her again in the future.”
“Daniel is kind, patient, and gentle. He takes the time to go slow and make sure your dog is comfortable. We have hired him a couple of times now and he has given us great relief that our dog is taken care of while we're gone”
“Scott was fantastic while taking care of our cats for the weekend. He clearly has lots of experience with cats and animals of all kinds. Scott made sure to ask good questions regarding their care needs which made me feel very comfortable having him watch our cats while we were gone. I will certainly be having Scott watch them again!”
About: I learn quick to give your pet the best experience away from you. I’m responsible and great with pets because I take care of my pets at home. My neighbor and friends trust me to take care of their pets no matter the condition their pets are in. I am free on weekends and can do drop-ins and walks in the evenings. I’ll be able to work all federal holidays as well. I can crate your dog if needed. I can play/pet them as much as they desire. I am able to follow strict instructions for your pet’s food or medicine.
“Jennifer was great! We came home to 5 happy pups. 3 of our dogs needed twice daily medicine, and I felt comfortable knowing Jennifer had the knowledge to meet their needs. I really enjoyed the daily picture updates and notes!”
“Cathy was fantastic with our kitty! She took as many pictures as she was able (sometimes our cat is recluse) and she communicated very well. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Bri did a great job looking after my 2 cats while I was away! She took lots of photos and had detailed reports in the report cards. I appreciated her dedication to trying to get my shy cat to come out more and making sure she got some photos of him! Would definitely recommend Bri to look after your fur babies!”
About: I've been walking dogs since I was 12 years old, of various sizes, behaviors, and energy levels. I also attended an Agricultural High School and learned 1 year of dog training and 2 years of dog grooming in high school. The past job I worked at was a dog daycare for a seasonal job. Then had side jobs where I walked other people's dogs and babysat cats I currently have 1 dog, 2 cats, and 2 reptiles that I care for. One of my cats is an adult, and the other is a kitten. I am a recent college graduate, and my only routine is waking up at 6 am to take my roommate to school at 7 am. Then picking my roommate up from school at 3:15pm. Otherwise, just looking for jobs. I have a fenced-in yard, and the pet would be supervised and never left alone. If they need to be left alone, there is a small room and a crate to protect them from getting into anything when unsupervised. I am the type of person who worries about the animal's health and will always let the owner know if I notice anything abnormal with the pet.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve volunteered at a dog shelter, cared for my own dog Missy for 9 years, and worked part-time at Camp Bow Wow (located in Bound Brook, NJ). This background helps me create a safe, structured, and positive environment where your dog can relax, have fun, and feel well cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my weekly routine. I’m able to schedule visits, walks, and drop-ins around my work hours, so your pet can get consistent attention and care. I plan my days with your pet’s needs in mind, making sure they stay on their usual feeding, play, and walk schedule while you’re away. I care for pets by following their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest so they feel secure and comfortable. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language, give them plenty of affection and enrichment, and keep their space clean and safe. I also stick closely to any instructions you provide, from favorite toys and treats to specific schedules, to make sure your pet’s day feels as normal and stress-free as possible.
“Sydney is the best! She is extremely helpful, professional and attentive to my dog's needs. She is always on time and thorough with her visits. Couldn't ask for a better sitter!”
“Merissa and Nick are the best pet sitters I have ever had, because they care and go above and beyond!! Besides the very helpful daily updates on my cat’s food, drink, litter box usage and general behavior, they sent me some of the greatest photos and videos of Hodge, many showing them playing with my very social fur baby. When I returned home after a 10-day trip, the house was immaculate and my mail and newspapers were neatly piled up on the kitchen counter. I knew that with Merissa and Nick my cat was getting the best care possible and was very happy, which gave me complete peace of mind to enjoy my vacation.”
“Sage was great. She came at agreed upon time. Performed the agreed upon tasks. She spent time greeting our cats and giving them some attention while we were on vacation. Definitely gave me peace of mind knowing our cats were being cared for properly. I would definitely book sage again.”
“Jessica was fantastic with my cat! I arrived home after having to travel for work to a healthy and happy cat and an apartment that was just the way I had left it. Jessica provided a clear summary of each visit and was overall a great catsitter! Will book again.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Altamont
Y'allllll the way Grace is with our cats is fantastic. She takes the time to make sure to learn everything needed to make sure they are comfortable and happy. Our boy (cat) was diagnosed with diabetes and is now eating Diabetic Management (DM) wet food only - this diagnosis happened between this visit and the previous. His sister (also cat) and him have had to go from eating the same dry food side-by-side to eating different food separately in a very sudden change. These co-dependent eaters had been really struggling with the change and we were so nervous to leave them - but Grace has cared for them numerous times previously so we knew she would let us know if any challenges or issues came up. She also came over the night before to learn allllll of the new ropes with their feeding which was soooo appreciated and helped to ease our minds. When our girl outright refused to eat the first night of the booking Grace reached out to me after trying to troubleshoot alone and together we found a solution that worked the whole rest of the trip! I very much appreciate how she is not afraid to reach out with questions, even for cats that she's cared for before. It is so awesome to have a trusted sitter that will go above and beyond!!!

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 .
