“Sophia is really kind and easy to work with. She’s always been understanding and flexible. I’ve had her watch my cat for both long and short stays. She does walk in visits at my place. My cat definitely likes her and the litter box is always spotless when I return.”
“Caroline was awesome to work with. My kattery is complex and she helped keep the bullies entertained and away from the bullied one. All four seemed unphased that we were gone for a week which is amazing - areas of the house were tidied and bowls/plates were clean. Would definitely use Caroline again - highly recommend!!!”
About: Animals have always had my heart. I truly believe every pet deserves to be spoiled with love, kindness, and the best care possible. I have an elderly dog of my own and have raised several puppies, so I understand the extra patience and care that both senior dogs and little ones need. I'll treat your furry family member like they're my own and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable from the moment we meet. Also, I am a runner. I love to run and if any of your dogs need extra exercise I would love to get one of my runs done with your dog! I am a college student looking for work that I love. Caring for pets doesn’t even feel like working. I will fit in as much as I can as my schedule allows! For sitting or drop-ins, I like to ask as many questions as possible and maybe meet the pet beforehand so that they feel comfortable.
“This was my first time using Rover and Emma was absolutely fantastic! She took amazing care of my 2 cats and I got updates and pictures with every drop-in. I would 100% book her again!”
About: I’ve always been that person who immediately notices the dog before the humans (respectfully 😂). I genuinely love animals and take caring for them seriously. Whether your pet is full of zoomies, prefers a slow stroll, or just wants someone to sit nearby while they judge me from across the room (looking at you, cats), I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m reliable, patient, detail-oriented, and I’ll stick to your pet’s routine because I know consistency matters. Expect lots of updates, cute pictures, and the occasional message telling you your dog made a new best friend (me). I’m currently a PhD student, so my schedule has flexibility throughout the week. Pet care is honestly one of my favorite ways to step away from my computer, get outside, and spend time with some furry company. I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive when I say I will, and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. If your pet is in my care, they’re my priority. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep a close eye on their behavior, and make sure they stay safe and comfortable. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel nerve-racking, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can actually enjoy your time away instead of wondering how your fur baby is doing.
About: I have taken care of many of my neighbors’ pets since I was in high school. I recognize any signs of discomfort from cats and dogs. I’m very patient. I’ve trained my two dogs since they were puppies and they’re well behaved. I’m still trying to train my cat, but she’s stubborn. Your pets will be in the best hands with me. I am currently a student. I’m available during the weekdays from 9 AM to 12 PM then I am available from 5:30 PM until night time. Weekend‘s vary, but if you give me a heads up, I’ll try to fit you into my schedule I’ll always make sure everything is secure, and that your pet is safe. I’ll always treat your pets as if they were my own.
“That’s hilarious. Yes, Miss Mae is not so much a fan of the walks. I try to make her, but it’s a challenge. Thanks so much for taking great care of everyone! Hope you had a great time at the show!”
About: I have loved and taken care of pets my entire life! I will do my best to make sure your pet is cared for, entertained and loved while you are away! My direct family has two dogs, a cat, and a guinea pig and I have had experience with many more! I am in school for marine biology and love animals! I am a full time student and part time worker at Publix. I will visit and/ or walk your pets during the morning or day before class or work. My schedule varies day to day. I watch after my pets as well as other family members pets often. I watch over them and let them out to potty frequently as needed. I am more than happy to play with your pets, take them outside, feed or give them water. I am also experienced with handling pet medicine if that is needed. I am not afraid to get down on the floor to play and give them a chance to let out some energy!
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a little girl, and have since developed a deep-rooted passion for veterinary medicine! I’ve worked for a mobile vet clinic, where we worked with canines and felines to administer vaccinations and offer flea and tick prevention. I also had the honor of working for a large dog park in Atlanta, where we had hundreds of adorable pups come through - many of whom were regulars and who I got to know super well! I’m currently a full-time college student, but I have free availability during the summer and would love to meet you and your fur babies! My weekends are also usually wide-open. I am more than happy to drop in to visit your precious fur babies and get their bodies moving for some fun walks! A little heads up (3+ days) and I should be able to make mostly anything work for your sweet angels! I am more than happy to work around any and all feed schedules, treats, medication administration, specific walk times or lengths, and any areas of concern for your dog or cat. I am very detail-oriented, so anything that you give me will be taken into great care for your fur baby!
About: All my life I have grown up with cats and had one pet dog growing up. I have a dog now and 4 cats at home, so I am an animal lover at heart. I absolutely love dogs and kittens. Im a student and work at a retail store in the mornings, so I am available to sit, and walk in the afternoons and evenings. I have a two story house for them to roam, and a front yard to play in. I live in a gated community for us to go on walks.
“Luciana was incredible!! She went way above and beyond to take care of my cat Camille for an extended stay while I was overseas. Communication was excellent, and Camille was clearly very well taken care of.”
About: I've been in the pet care field for the last four years, and I love every minute of it! I am responsible and reliable, and I will treat your babies like my own! I will likely come visit before or after school! I am happy to help in any way that I can, and I am highly flexible! I hope to make their stay as welcoming as possible! My home is their home. I will likely be with them most of the time, and I hope that they can feel as happy as possible.
“Grave was the kindest professional caregiver we’ve ever had — sadly our sweet Ellie passed away on the second day of our trip — she hadn’t been sick and we will never know what happened but Grace handled a very difficult situation with such care and concern. She made sure Kai was cared for everyday knowing he had lost his companion, Thank you, Grace!”
About: I’ve helped petsit for my friends before and love taking care of dogs, cats, and even other animals like lizards and gerbils. I have worked for a veterinary clinic and have experiences with small and large dogs and love them all. I am currently a student so I have classes every day but am free after 6PM most days of the week and 12PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have time between classes to come home and care for animals and can definitely work them into my routine. If a pet is brought into my home, I have a fenced yard and a large space indoors for them to roam around. They have access to my room and the main living space. In your home, I will ensure to take care of your pets how you prefer and to keep myself and them out of rooms they are not allowed in.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Athens
Caroline did a wonderful job keeping my sweet Eleanor entertained and well cared for while I was away. She followed all of my instructions and made sure Eleanor had everything she needed. I came home to a very happy girl, and I’m so grateful Caroline took such good care of her!
We booked only a week in advance and she was able to accommodate us. She had to give medicine to one of our cats and she did a great job, even though he was pretty skittish. She filled up their water and scooped the litter box without us even asking which was so nice! We definitely plan to use her in the future! Thanks Linda :)
Destinee is hands down one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had. She goes above and beyond and my very sensitive and dramatic cat absolutely adored her. Can’t thank her enough for keeping him company and taking care of him for such a long stretch of time. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Ashlyn did a great job! We had a senior dog who was going to need extra cleaning up after and she handled it no problems. Then there were the 4 cats. She actually had one come out of hiding by the end of the week that never comes out for strangers. So the animals knew she's good to be around. She went above and beyond one evening when we were alerted one of the smoke alarms went off even after the neighbor had shut them off the first time. This was an additional trip to our house and she was more than happy to do it. She saved our sanity going in and disconnecting the problem alarm. She even sat with our babies a bit to be sure they were calmed down after the chaos and noise. We are thankful we found her and would definitely recommend her.
Grave was the kindest professional caregiver we’ve ever had — sadly our sweet Ellie passed away on the second day of our trip — she hadn’t been sick and we will never know what happened but Grace handled a very difficult situation with such care and concern. She made sure Kai was cared for everyday knowing he had lost his companion, Thank you, Grace!
Fabulous love and care for our Maine Coons. Even caught an ear infection near the end of our trip with video so we were able to arrange a vet visit for the morning after we got back with no delay. So nice to be halfway around the world knowing Olivia is feeding, cuddling, and looking after our darlings!
Emily was so helpful and attentive to Gunters needs! I loved getting updates daily, she took the sweetest pictures of my kitty. Towards the end of my trip, Gunter unfortunately contracted a uti. Thanks to Emily texting me and keeping me updated, I was able to book a vet appointment for as soon as I could so that he could get treated. I could not recommend her more!
Lauren was great! She came by for a meet and greet, and the cats were excited to meet her. She asked good questions about their care. Lauren’s updates were comprehensive, and I liked reading about how the cats were doing and seeing the pictures of her playing with them. One of the cats was on a daily liquid medication, and she even included pictures of Rosie taking her medicine. I felt really comfortable leaving my kitties her care. I highly recommend Lauren!
Luciana took wonderful care of my senior kitty while I was away for a long weekend, and I’m so grateful! Beyond making sure he had fresh food/ water and a clean litter box, she took genuine care to make sure he felt safe, happy, and loved. Luciana was incredibly kind and patient with my kitty, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I highly recommend her!
Landen and Nataly were amazing!! They are kind people who genuinely care about your pet like it’s their own! They sent several pictures at each visit, cleaned the litter box, gave food and water, and kept my girl entertained while I was gone! I highly recommend them and will absolutely reach out to them for all of my pet sitting needs!!

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 .
