“Sabrina made daily visits to care for my cat, Blu, while I was away. She was kind, attentive, and made sure Blu was well cared for by cleaning the litter box, refilling her water bowl, and giving her plenty of affection. I truly appreciated her reliability and care.”
“My original plans for a pet sitter fell through at the last minute. Not that I would ever recommend what I ended up doing, but Shelly really came through for me. She was extremely patient in communicating with me through the app once I hired her. I was literally in the process of working from home and packing after having worked 12-hour shifts out in the field for my job. The day I flew out of town, was a crazy-busy day and trying to communicate with everyone I needed to before I left was a challenge all its own. But again, Shelly was so professional. She sent me pictures of all my pets while I was away. The cats definitely enjoyed her company. Because of her help, one of my cats didn't miss a beat when I took her to the vet today. The vet staff commented on how laid back and easy she was to work with. -This goes to show how good Shelly is with pets. After having a stranger take care of my pets for just over a week, they were not phased by the vet.”
About: I have been around Large and Medium size dogs my whole childhood, and would often care for them on my own for days to a week at a time. I get along well with both cats and dogs. I go to college and have classes Tuesday-Thursday, I often have lots of school work and I hope to integrate that into my pet-sitting. When caring for your pets, I will give them the exercise they need through walks and playtime while also giving them lots of cuddles so they are not lonely during my stay.
“Ann took great care of my fur babies while I was away. She even was able to administer oral medication to one of my kitties. Definitely would book again and she is highly recommended!”
“Excellent sitter! Provided regular updates with pictures and communicated clearly throughout. I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were well cared for. Paris was kind enough to help with small favor such as bringing the packages inside etc. Would definitely book her again! Thank you Paris!”
“Riley is extremely patient and calm with Athena. He gave her as much time as she needed to get comfortable with him as she can be very skittish and afraid of men. Very responsive and helpful as well.”
About: I have been a dog walker, dog bather, kennel tech, and worked at wildlife rehab. To say I love animals is an understatement, and I can't wait to meet and care for yours! I have been pet sitting in people's homes for nearly 20 years now, and have worked professionally with animals for many years. Dogs to Hedgehogs and snakes, tell me how to best care for your pets and I will exceed your expectations. I have watched over nursing puppies in shelters, and senior dogs in veterinary care and boarding, so I have experience with animals with anxiety and giving medications. I am on summer break from work at a local school, so your little ones will have my full attention. I do have a few 2/3 hr events two evenings a week, but I will be available for any pets in training, or who may need more frequents outdoor breaks. Because I understand that for many pets, consistency is very important, I try to stick as close to your regular walk/outside schedules as possible to make sure routines are kept just that*. Since every animal is different, I will let your pet lead the way with how much attention/ what kind of enrichment they like. I don't mean to brag, but my belly rubs are the bark of the town my neighborhood. **With the summer heat, I expect any walks taken will be very early or as the sun is setting so their paws are protected.
“Christi was great with my cat, Ella. She clearly loves animals and cats!! She also took great care of our house while we were gone, even taking out the trash bin one day. I really appreciated the updates and pictures! Thank you!”
“Amber was kind and took care of my cat when I was away. She alerted me when the auto-feeder was over-feeding and also gave my chicken treats even though it wasn’t part of the arrangement. She brought my packages in too and offered to visit my cat on the day I was scheduled to return if there was a change in my travel plans. I would recommend her to others.”
“I cannot speak highly enough of this woman! I’ve booked with her multiple times now, and I truly cannot fathom booking anyone else. She is so sweet and so attentive and when I had the means, I want her to look after my cat permanently.”
“Alice was great with my shy cat and made me feel so comfortable being away with sending detailed updates and pictures! Really appreciated the attention, communication and thoughtfulness!😊”
“Amazing as always. Winta treats your pet with the same love and care that you would give and then some. Her daily pictures and updates made it easy to relax knowing he was in such great care.”
“Gabrielle is simply the best! She is incredibly reliable and wonderful with our two cats when we are out of town. She accommodates our request of coming during daytime hours and sends the sweetest photos of our pets. Truly couldn’t recommend her more, as she is the best sitter we have experienced on a Rover. Thank you Gabrielle!!”
“My 1st booking with Maria - what a pro! Everything went so smoothly, pictures received regularly and incredibly responsive to messages. I have one cat and he was well looked after and absolutely fine after being on his own 9 days. Whew! Very reasonably priced, would definitely book again! Really - be confident in working with Maria, you'll be happy you did!”
About: ❤️I love pets deeply; we shared 30 years with them, and when they’re gone, it’s because old age took them, after a life by our side.🐾 It fits perfectly; since I am very organized, I have time for everything I need to do during the day, and if I don’t have the time, I don’t take on jobs I can’t fulfill.”🕣 I’m going to take care of your pet with all my love, adjusting my schedule to their needs, so they can enjoy walks, good food, and a day full of comfort, as if their owner were at home. 😁🏡🐾

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington
Wonderful experience! We just returned from a week out of town for our daughters wedding . We have never left our younger adopted cat before and refused to board him and make him think we "returned him" . We also have a needy old Persian with a bad attitude. Every one we know will be at the wedding too. What to do? Paris was the perfect answer for both our boys. She was easy to reach and sent pictures with each visit. They barely noticed we were gone (ouch!) :). Highly recommend Paris and Rover!
From the first meeting I knew it was going to work out. My cats took to Sabrina almost immediately. It was very nice to know that Sabrina was experienced with cats and it showed. Excellent updates the entire span of visits and the great peace of mind to have someone trustworthy taking care of my wonderful boys!
Kyra is absolutely wonderful! We always feel completely comfortable leaving our pets in her care. She’s dependable, communicative, and takes such great care of them while we’re away. It’s such a relief knowing they’re with someone we trust. We’re always happy to have Kyra watch them and would definitely recommend her!
Corrina was awesome with my two cats! She played with my friendly, overly brave boy and won over my shy (okay, scared) girl. She adhered to my recommendations for care and schedules and asked applicable follow-up questions as needed. It was reassuring to have my pets in such capable and caring hands. I would absolutely recommend Corrina to anyone and rebook whenever our schedules align.

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.

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 .
