“This was my third time booking with Ericka, and just like the previous she was great. Ericka was patient, accommodating, and easy to work with when I was having issues with my home keys.”
“Bailey is super communicative and reliable! She sends pictures and is completely trustworthy & I will hire her again and again! I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had the responsibility of owning many pets of my own since I was 8 years old and have been pet sitting for family and friends since middle school. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of many different breeds and personalities throughout high school and every summer when I return home from college. I’m now in my senior year and would love to continue pet sitting while I’m away at school! I love meeting new pets because every dog has a different personality, and getting to know their little quirks is one of my favorite parts of pet sitting. Growing up with pets helped me understand the daily care, attention, and companionship they need. I know it can be hard for pets when their family is away, so I take time to learn their routine from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and downtime, and follow their owner’s instructions to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Having people trust me with their pets year after year means a lot to me, and I bring that same patience and care to every pet I watch. I’m currently in college, but I’m available before 12 p.m. and after 4 p.m. every day except Tuesdays. I’m also available for weekend stays or check-ins! My schedule gives me plenty of time to play with and look after your beloved pets, making sure they get attention, care, and company while you’re away. I’m happy to work with you to plan visits that fit their usual routine. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pets are in caring hands. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions, stick to their usual routines, and give them plenty of attention while respecting their space. I’ll keep doors secure, their food and litter areas clean, and treat your home with care and respect. If your pet stays at my home, it’s the same routine just with extra snacks and no rules! Just kidding, I’ll follow your rules and only give treats you approve of. I live in an apartment with plenty of room and greenery nearby for walks and playtime. I’ll make sure they have a comfortable place to rest and plenty of company while you’re away. I’d really appreciate knowing about any behaviors or triggers, such as biting, scratching, or guarding food, so I can keep both your pet and myself safe. I’ll also send photos and updates and let you know if anything seems unusual!
“Mel is such a good sitter! Our cats are super shy and skiddish and they came out and about to sniff him and give him head butts. While we were gone, I didn’t worry at all because Mel was so thorough about caring for them. He documents every step of the process and is super responsive to questions. We will definitely book Mel again in the future.”
About: With my 4 years of reliable and dedicated experience, I have consistently provided families with peace of mind while away from their precious fur babies. Experience in multi-puppy households. I’m currently working full time, I work best with overnight stays during the week and night stays or drop ins on the weekend. Holiday availability aswell. I’m great with high energy pups and am more than happy to play fetch and take walks. Experience with administering medication and crating. If your puppy is used to snuggles then I’m your girl! Photo updates always included.
About: I believe the little things make a big difference. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, and any special instructions you provide. I enjoy giving pets plenty of love and attention while also respecting their boundaries and routines. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home—and for their owners to have peace of mind while they’re away. At this time pet care does fit in to my schedule full time. I do not have a typical 9-5 job so I have open availablity. For drop-in visits, I focus on making sure your pets are comfortable, cared for, and getting the attention they need while you’re away. I can provide potty breaks, fresh food and water, playtime, walks, cuddles, and litter box care for cats. I’ll also make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. For overnight stays, I treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would give my own. I’ll follow your pets’ normal routines as closely as possible, provide plenty of companionship, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable throughout the night. I’m happy to follow any special instructions you provide and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of puppy’s-senior dog, I had my dog since she was a puppy and she is now a senior dog she lives at my dads house because I moved out about a year ago. I’m good taking dogs on walks, playing, belly rubs!! I am currently a part time babysitter so I have extra time on my hands! I love going to the animal shelter and taking out the dogs to play, so this would be great for me. I would make sure to treat them as my own read instructions and follow them to a tea. Give them lots of belly rubs and snuggles, playtime and lots of times around me.
About: I grew up with a wide variety of pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish), have been pet-sitting an even wider variety (parakeets, turtles) since I was a teenager, and also trained service dogs for two different organizations in college. I am currently the go-to pet sitter for most of my friends and family because they know I will treat their pets like my own (i.e. happy and spoiled). --- I have experience with pets in all stages of life, as well as those with special needs. If your pet takes medications or has a complicated feeding schedule, I can easily handle it (bonus points if you provide detailed notes, though!). I am an office worker with a hybrid schedule, so I’m only in the office Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I am available for boarding and drop-in visits most weekdays, weekends and holidays. I own a small, single-story home with a large, fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood with a lot of walking trails and parks nearby. I strive to provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for all. Pets are also welcome on the furniture (I mean, where else will those snuggle sessions occur?). --- I have one cat and two dachshunds, so my house is both cat- and dog-friendly. I provide several cat trees, scratching posts, and litter boxes throughout the house. I also have multiple dog crates, as well as ramps up to the bed and couches.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for animals of all kinds—from dogs and cats to birds and everything in between. I’ve always had pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust to care for them while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or just looking for someone to hang out with. I’m also definitely not afraid to get my hands dirty! Muddy paws, litter boxes, accidents, slobber, shedding—you name it, I’m happy to handle it. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while they’re in my care. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine so they can feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. And of course, you can expect plenty of updates and pictures along the way! I’m available all day on weekends and have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and spending quality time with your pets! During the week, I have an hour and a half lunch break that works great for midday drop-ins, walks, feeding, or playtime. I’m also available in the evenings for additional visits or care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine whenever possible! I live in an apartment, so I currently am not able to board any pets! I am happy to watch any pets in your home.
About: I’ve taken care of animals including dogs cats rabbits for friends throughout my military career. From kittens and puppies to senior animals. I’ve helped break bad habits such as jumping and potty accidents in the house. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I can take care of your fur baby anytime of the week. I’ll show them the love and care the fur babies babies deserve. I have a big fenced in backyard with dogs that can play or not with yours. I also have two cats that do their own things. I can crate as well if wanted.
“Laila was fantastic! She took such great care of our two cats for a week, and it was such a joy to see pictures of them and receive updates about them while we were away. Laila was kind, thorough, and our first choice if we need cat care again. We are so grateful for her help!”
About: I’d rather spend time with animals than humans 🤫 My all time dream is to have a farm with horses, cows, goats, dogs, cats, etc! I have a full time job and a dog of my own. I am more available on the weekends, with some wiggle room during the week. My dog is very friendly towards dogs and cats. I have a dog of my own and will always treat anyone’s pet as my own. Being a dog owner, I have experience and knowledge of what level of care animals need.
About: I have owned and cared for cats for the majority of my life. My sweet cat Rigby is nine years old, who had stomatitis which caused him to lose all his teeth, because of this I am comfortable administering medication or food through a feeding tube, a syringe and by mouth if need be. He also has sensitive skin, so I have applied topical ointments and oils to his skin. He also lets me clip his nails and clean his ears. I work as a grad intern in the school system, so I am available after 4pm on weekdays and available anytime on weekends, or flexible depending on my part-time job. I have a nine year old cat who had stomatitis which caused him to lose all his teeth, so I cared for his pre and post operation care, like administering food and medicine through his feeding tube. I believe open communication is key, so I will always contact you before making a decision regarding your fur baby. I love and cherish all animals. I have not cared for my own dog, yet, but I would love to learn!
“Eric is definitely my No.1 sitter choice! He was caring and followed all the instructions we left for him. He communicated throughout his visits. I would highly recommend Eric to watch your fur buddies!!!!”

Ericka was awesome! It was our first time using a pet sitter and she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. We have young kittens and she took excellent care of them. Great communication with plenty of updates and amazing photos. We will definitely book her again!
This is my second time booking with Olivia and she has been nothing but phenomenal. She takes care of Dexter as if he was her own. He has definitely been labeled as a spicy cat and to have someone who is so patient and loving towards him while I’m away gives me peace of mind.
I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about Anissa! She took care of my two Great Danes, Staffordshire Terrier, and two cats for an entire week, checking on them three times a day. With five pets—and three big dogs—that’s a lot to take on, and she handled everything amazingly. From the very beginning, Anissa made me feel completely comfortable leaving my babies in her care. She sent me pictures at every single visit, and being able to see their happy faces and know they were being loved and well cared for gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She cleaned the litter boxes and backyard every day and even went above and beyond by vacuuming daily—which was definitely not something I expected her to do! Coming home to happy, well-cared-for pets AND a clean house was such a wonderful feeling. What meant the most to me was knowing that Anissa wasn’t just stopping by to check things off a list. I could tell she genuinely cared about my animals and treated them like they were her own. When you have five fur babies, finding someone you truly trust with them is priceless. I will absolutely be using Anissa again and, as long as she’s available, she will be the person I call whenever I need someone to care for my pets. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her. Thank you, Anissa, for taking such amazing care of my crew! ❤️🐾
Karen was great with Reese! She was very attentive and kind upon meeting her and after the visit to return my key. She did a great job with taking care of him, sending me pics and lots of updates. She made sure he was eating when he was picky and gave him extra treats. She even left me a small gift for me! Thank you for all the help and taking care of him!
Sonia went above and beyond in watching our pets. When presented with several unforeseen difficulties, including leaving the wrong key and my cat not eating, Sonia went out of her way to communicate and brainstorm with me to find the best solutions and care for my fur babies. Sonia even made an extra trip out to my apartment to ensure my pets got fed, went potty, felt loved, and had good playtime. Sonia did an amazing job with my girls and I would highly recommend her to others!
Jeremiah has been taking care of my baby girl (cat) for a few years now. I have full confidence in him. Even as she has grown older and needed to take medications, Jeremiah has adapted to her feeding schedule and made sure she gets her medicine. I am so grateful I found a sitter I can trust and rely on.
Brenda was an absolute professional when taking care of my pets. She was on time, caring and went above and beyond my expectations. We will 100% ask for her help in the future. She was wonderful. Thank you for taking care of our babies! It takes sooooo much pressure off of leaving them knowing someone so kind is caring for them.

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 .
