“It was a pleasure to have Ruowei as our car sitter for a few days. She was very attentive and gentle with my cat and handled care instructions really well. I appreciate it her constant communication updates and pictures along the way. Highly recommend her.”
“A rebook because Sabrila is just that awesome! Sabrila was able to accommodate our pet sitting request on a short notice, and she came and spoiled our Nala cat exactly like we hoped she would! Shy Nala remembered her and immediately came out with tail hugs and meows! How do I know? I had plenty of pictures! 😍😍 exactly what I needed to make sure Nala was being loved on during out week long trip! Thank you Sabrila!”
“Jackie was amazing as always! She goes above and beyond for our fur baby and even is kind enough to bring in our packages and took out our trash for us!! She noticed our cat was out of treats and bought her more. Jackie is the absolute best. I don’t know if my cat or I love her more!”
“Amy is nothing short of amazing. She always provided detailed information about her visits and how our cat was doing. We loved seeing all the pictures. Her dedication and attention to him was outstanding. She spent quality time with him - not just the feeding and such - but quality time playing, interacting with him, and sitting with him. Highly recommend Amy!”
“Lauren is the best! Always so helpful and respectful. She has been able to accommodate a few last minute requests for us too which is so helpful! We feel at ease leaving the cats in her care!”
“So grateful for Karisa's excellent care. I booked her already twice and my cat(s) was/were in great hands. She was punctual and reliable, and was able to give my cat her medication. She sent me daily updates and photos, which helped ease my mind while I was away. I'll definitely be using her services again.”
“Nouf did a great job taking care of our pet cat while we were away for a long weekend. She was very responsive, prompt and completed all tasks perfectly. Will definitely hire her again if she is available.”
“Emily was our first Rover that we used since we adopted our kitty. She was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. She sent very cute pictures of our kitty as well as followed all directions we gave while we were gone. We would definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and more for several years. I am a huge animal lover and will treat your pets like they are my own. I work a full-time job with a flexible schedule and I work from home. I can adjust to your schedule and make almost anything work. I will treat your animals as though they are my own and ensure that everyone is well taken care of and that you get updates throughout our time together.
“Mindy has been an excellent and reliable to work with. She took great care of our two cats while we were away for a week. She was very respectful of our home and went above and beyond to make our experience much better. I highly recommend working with her.”
“She is seriously the BEST!! So sweet and amazing with Buster, always on time, and was so flexible with going over whenever I needed her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Buster was in such good hands. I will 100% be booking with her again and couldn’t recommend her enough!! 🤍🐾”
“June is FANTASTIC and took such great care of our girls while we were away. Even our most critical kitty fell in love with her. She has a lovely way about making each kitty feel comfortable based on their unique personality.”
“Megan took care of my cats while I was on vacation. She did a wonderful job! She followed all my instructions carefully and gave me lots of updates. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Mercedez was absolutely wonderful with our terrible trio of cats. She dealt easily with the medical needs of our senior cat, including giving fluids several times. She also managed to coax out Manny, who doesn't like change and spooks easily, and get him to not only be in the same room but actually let her pet him. Moe was his usual attention-seeking self and she kept him happy too. Mercedez was great with communication and providing pictures the entire time we were gone. I strongly recommend her as a pet sitter and will certainly ask her to watch the cats again.”
“Monique is a kind and bubbly person, and we appreciated meeting her. She accepted our booking on short notice over the holiday, and we’re so grateful she could spend time with Sheba and Grayson. Her regular photos and videos were thoughtful, and she clearly showed warmth and care for our cats. We booked and paid for a 3-night overnight house-sitting stay, but a few days before, she let us know she would not be staying overnight due to a scheduling conflict. That said, she spent several hours each day at the house as her schedule allowed, which we truly appreciated. Her kindness made communication pleasant. While a few care details didn’t go exactly as discussed during our orientation or outlined in the written care instructions, we’re thankful she was there for our kitties when we couldn’t be, and we would consider her support again in the future if she would agree.”
“I've booked Danniellie multiple times now to take care of my cats while out of town and she's been wonderful! She was very communicative and really took the time to properly care for them.”
About: Hello! I’m June and live in Aldie. I have 2 dog of my own. I have been around dog since I was really young. I like to fresh cook food for my dog, make sure they are healthy and take them for a walk. When looking for a flexible part time job, I started searching ‘jobs with animals’ because I love animals ! This job allows me to be around different types of dogs and hang out with them and go for walks. ALL great things! I am so happy to take care of your pets while you are away. I love long walks, fetch over and over and over, and treating your pet how I would want my pet to be treated! I am currently working from home. So I have a lot of freedom, I am free on weekdays before 5pm. I can work around my clients need. I am a pet owner as well so I will like to treat my clients dog just like how I will like my fur baby to be treat. We lived in a townhouse so small dog is ideal for boarding.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Arcola
Emily did a great job taking care of our cat! She was attentive to what care we requested and was able to adjust when circumstances called for it. She also sent us great pictures of our cat every day and communicated well how he was doing. Our cat got along well with her, and was his normal, happy self when we got home.
Amy was fantastic! She spent a lot of time taking care of our elderly dog and cat, making sure they ate, had clean bowls and fresh water every visit. She was very sweet and gave them so much love and attention. They warmed up to her immediately. I would definitely recommend her, and will book her again!
Jannatul is absolutely wonderful with our furbabies. She has such a calm and caring demeanour, which really puts our minds at ease whenever we travel overseas. My husband and I are particularly anxious about leaving our cats behind, but knowing they’re in Jannatul’s care gives us so much peace of mind. This is our second time using her services, and we will definitely be using her again. We highly recommend Jannatul to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and gentle with their pets.
Hue was absolutely amazing with my cat, Luna! She was both attentive and communicative, and clearly cared about making sure Luna was comfortable and well taken care of. She sent thoughtful updates and paid attention to little details, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend!
This was our first time having Jackie assist us with our two cats while we were out of town. We have nothing but great things to say! We appreciate her experience with cats, and the attention to detail in learning the patterns of our fur babies - from their diet to the toys they like to engage with. We highly recommend Jackie and hope to use her services again in the future!
Nouf took great care of my senior dog and cat. She gave me peace of mind while my boyfriend and I were away. My cat ran out the door (because she’s crazy!) and she was able to quickly catch her and bring her back inside safely. Reliable, responsible, responsive, and gave detailed updates + lots of pictures! I would recommend her if you are looking for someone who can handle your furbabies!
Megan watched my two mature cats for five days, and I couldn't have gotten a better person! She followed all instructions, including giving my male his daily insulin shot. She loved on them as if they were her babies. I was given updates at each visit and adorable pictures. If you need her to take care of your fur babies, know that she will be a great sitter. I only wish she weren't leaving our local area next month.

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.

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 .
