“Ellen was great! Provided such great photos and updates on our babies while we were gone. This was the longest we left them in a while and she was such a great care taker 💕”
“Amy was great! There were difficulties on our building's end with access, but she was so communicative and worked to navigate the issues. Our little man appreciated her visits, and we would be happy to have her watch him again.”
About: I have had dogs and cats all of my life and my dogs have all lived very long and healthy lives. I’ve adopted them and taken in strays, including one that was pregnant and then had 8 very healthy puppies which we cared for, weaned and found permanent homes for. Several of my dogs have lived very long senior lives (21!) and I can give medications and special diets. I’ve also transported many dogs, large and small, to the vet. I take my dogs to the dog parks on a regular basis and have taken them on long trips too. I am available to dog walk and also watch them in fenced-in yards for potty breaks and play. I produced several “Pet Care" series for HGTV, DIY Network and TNN, including dog care segments with Dr. Craig Prior, owner of Murphy Road Animal Hospital and a very popular and well-known Nashville veterinarian, who was also my personal vet for many years. I’m retired so I’m available all days and times. And I love taking photos and videos of pets and would be able to share updates for clients. I am currently retired and am available all days and times. I do volunteering on a regular basis but can adjust that schedule as needed. I also do freelance Marketing and Development including grant writing for nonprofits, on my own time schedule. I have a fenced-in back hyard for my own dogs but also take them on walks and to the dog park. So I would be able to walk dogs as needed. I also know about safety in a home, including keeping food, liquids, cleaners and materials away from pets. My own Beagle can get ninto things easily so I always put things up. My dogs do not use crates but I know how to crate dogs too.
“Mary was great and I would definitely recommend her and use her again! She watched my cat and my fish and was very communicative and friendly throughout the process. She was also very understanding and sweet with my cat who has a unique personality.”
“Athena was excellent with Leo and Louie! She is great at communicating how they were doing, what their behaviors were, and sent lots of photos of my cats. I would definitely rebook with her.”
About: Grew up with dogs my entire life, once I got a little older I used to watch my family friends animals all the time! Now in Nashville I help volunteer at wags and walks but I want to do more! I work remote for work so I have a flexible schedule that can adjust as needed. Im happy to snuggle with your animals or run around and play! I work remote so I am easily able to play with your animals or let them out and enjoy the fresh air for a little bit! I will follow any rules you may have for your animal. Im comfortable handling some bigger dogs on a leash or running around with them in your backyard. I've been around animals a lot so I know to pick up on if something may be wrong and will let you know right away!
“Taylor was amazing. She checked in on our cats while we were away for a few days and they were healthy and happy when we came home. I would highly recommend Taylor for your pet care needs and would not hesitate to ask her to help us out in the future when needed. Thank you Taylor for doing such an amazing job!”
“Molly is such a trusted sitter. She is communicative, sends the best photos, and spends quality time with my babies when I am away! I appreciate Molly so much!”
About: I have worked with animals for the past 19 years. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in animal science and have worked with many different species from young to old. My work experience ranges from general practice and emergency room veterinarian clinics, an animal shelter to the Knoxville zoo, and 7 years in animal agriculture. My love for all animals runs deep and through my experience I am able to administer medications, perform CPR, and just understand animal behavior all together. I personally have had two dachshunds of my own from young rescues to 17 year old seniors. I currently work remote and have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate any needs of an animal in my care. Daily walks are part of my routine regardless of the weather. I live in a home that has been converted into a duplex tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. I have a balcony allowing for outside access for bird watching or just plain old barking. I have a large backyard but not fenced. Dog beds in every room. Every animal in my care is like family meaning no couch or bed is off limits. I often plan my daily outings to allow for my animals to come with me or spend limited time alone.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs for most of my life and now have a beautiful pit mix who I wish I could bring everywhere. (But when I visit your pets, mine will stay at home!) I’m happy to treat your crew with the love I wish my dog always received and the responsible care all pets need. I’m a freelancer, so I often have the flexibility to meet your schedule needs and maintain that schedule week after week so your pets are greeted by a consistent visitor and friend. I’m happy to visit your pets, let them out as needed, go for walks, administer meds, feed them, and if needed crate them so they’re cozy and safe before I leave.
About: I have been around pets since the age of 3. Even at the young age of 3, I knew that I had a special connection with all animals and enjoyed helping to care for the animals in our home. I have had dogs, cats, a rabbit, guinea pigs and even reptiles at one point. Caring for and loving these animals has helped me become adaptable to whatever situations come my way. The first dog I took care of was my pug, Wilma. She required a lot of maintenance where I had to help clean her face and even gave her baths from time to time. I've also lived with a special needs goldendoodle, where he had oral medicine to help prevent seizures and navigate walking instead of in circles to the left. Throughout taking care of my guinea pigs, cats, and rabbit, I always paid great attention to detail to ensure their areas were clean, as well as their litter boxes. I work full-time at a job in the rosa parks area from 730 to 4, Monday to friday, but I can leave early or come in late so that I can help your pets get the care they need. I am off on weekends Reading and following the details in the instructions from the owners is always a top priority. I ensure the pets are cared for through feeding, giving fresh water, as well as walking and playing with the animals. I am dedicated to spending quality time with each animal I care for, whether it's belly rubs, fun walks or playing with their favorite toys. After watching how the pets move through their natural environment and observing their natural behavior, the routine of taking care of your pet becomes natural for me. I have had many people comment on how calm their animals feel around me.
About: With ten years of pet care and sitting experience, I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and have experience caring for cats and dogs of different personalities, ages, and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, keeping pets on their normal routines, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I work from home and have a lot of open availability to be able to provide the care and attention needed when looking after animals! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get regular walks or playtime, and receive plenty of attention and comfort. I keep their environment clean, safe, and calm, and I always respect any specific instructions you provide.
“Megan is fantastic. My cat Oscar is a little bit of an anxious older guy and quietly frankly he can be a bit of a jerk. Megan handled him like a champ, kept me updated on how he’s doing, and I was able to keep my mind at ease.”
About: I grew up around pets my entire life and adopted my own cat, Elvis, in January of 2019. Since then, I've adopted two additional cats - Tootie and Jude - that are my entire world! I have experience giving pets medicine, cleaning litter boxes, walking dogs, and making sure that your critters are kept happy with both food and love. I’m a part-time nanny and babysitter, so I have plenty of time to check in on your animals whenever needed! Spending the day with furry friends sounds like the perfect day to me. I help spend quality time with your pets, pick up after them as needed, and make sure that any food or medication needed is properly delivered.

Logan did a wonderful job taking care of Holly and my three cats, Dolly, Ted, and Logan! She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated throughout each visit. I always received notifications through Rover when she started and finished her visits, along with pictures so I could see how everyone was doing. She made sure Holly was fed, spent time playing with her, and gave her plenty of attention. She also checked on the cats, making sure their automatic feeder and litter box were working properly and that they had plenty of food. It was great having the peace of mind knowing all four of my pets were being well cared for while I was away. I really appreciate Logan's help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter. I'll definitely use her again! Thank you, Logan! 😊
Emily is one of the best pet sitters I've had. She is very confident, well-organized, communicative and you can tell right away that she has an affinity for animals. It was such a blessing to establish a relationship with such a great sitter that made my time away peaceful and worry-free. I could tell that my pets had a very comforting experience!
Hannah was great to work with! We will definitely be using her again in the future. She was super communicative and sent great updates and photos. Our cat is shy with new people but after one visit he warmed right up to Hannah and seemed to really enjoy her company during her visits!
Alexandra was great with my cat Mustard while I was on vacation. Musty had gotten surgery recently so Alexandra checked on her multiple times a day to feed her and make sure she was okay. I appreciated Alexandra’s prompt communication, flexibility with booking and navigating my cat’s dynamic feeding schedule, and her ability to troubleshoot access to my building without me there to help. She will take great care of your pet!
100/10 will book again! I had a last minute booking because my kitty had an accident and had to have surgery 1 week before a non refundable work trip- literally last minute!9pm morning before- she was very communicative and makes sure to send all the pictures. she was on time every time and never got overwhelmed with my (5 cats total) So very kind as well!!!! Spectacular! Amazing! Attentive!!
This was our 2nd time using Rebecca and it was equally fantastic. She's very communicative giving us updates on our cats. She cleans up any messes and makes sure they are all doing well and gives them love when they allow it 🤣. I'll definitely use Rebecca again and would absolutely recommend her to others. Thanks so much!

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
