“Kelly is an amazing cat whisperer who has taken wonderful care of our skittish cat. She goes above and beyond daily care and our cat actually sits on her lap. Very good with communication. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle was great! She took great care of our kitty & left detailed notes from her visits, along with lots of cute and funny pictures. I will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Mary-Kate took care of our two cats. She was reliable, sent great updates, pictures and went the extra mile. I would highly recommend for your drop-in visit needs.”
“Donna is great. She has sat for my kitties several times now and every time she sends me plenty of updates along with details about her visit with photos. This time she administered antibiotics to my cat as well. I would definitely recommend Donna for any pet sitting needs!”
About: While newer to professional pet care, I have been around animals my entire life. I am comfortable around dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m a responsible, patient person who understands that every dog is different. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog, follow their usual routine, and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-in visits, or keeping your dog company while you’re out of town. I’m looking forward to meeting new dogs, getting some fresh air, and helping make your life a little easier! I work from 7:30-4pm Monday-Friday so my main availability is weeknights and weekends. I have some flexibility for lunch time drop ins depending on location and my schedule. Let me know what you are looking for and we can hopefully make it work! When caring for your pet in your home, you can trust that I’ll be respectful of both your pet and your space. I’ll follow their normal routine and any instructions you leave for me, and I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I’ll also send you a detailed update and a few photos so you know how things are going!
“Really appreciated Alie's visits. Was a first trying Rover for a one week trip. Alie sent pics daily and followed instructions well. She even won over our shy kitty:)”
“Cassandra is the best! She took care of our rabbit for a week and we loved her detailed updates and photos. She responded very quickly when I initially reached out to her and set up a meet and greet right away. Rabbits can be fickle creatures but our bunny warmed up quickly to her. He even did a binky when she came which in the rabbit world is the highest praise you can get! Cassandra is so patient and kind no matter what animal you have they will love her!”
“Sabrina was awesome! This was a last minute booking and I am also new to Rover. She was responsive while we worked out the details, which gave me immediate comfort. She kept us updated on her visits and kept us updated. Would rebook in the future!”
“Jack did a great job coming over to take care of our cats while we were out for a week. One of them is diabetic and Jack used the insulin we provided and he's doing great now that we're back home. He came consistently and reliably every day which was necessary for the insulin and all the cats were fed as instructed. Would highly recommend!”
“Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter! She sent us pictures every day, gave our cats so much love and attention, and made sure they had plenty of fun and playtime. She even bought them a new toy, which was such a thoughtful surprise! Her communication was excellent, and she always responded promptly. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cats were happy, loved, and well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had animals since I was a young girl. As a child we had cats. As a young adult I worked for a grooming, daycare, and boarding facility for 16 years. The only reason I stopped working was because of the birth of might twins.I also volunteered for a pet rescue, a pet shelter, and of course owned my own dogs, cats, and hamster. I’m a mom of 7! Some grown , some in college, and my youngest 2 are 9 year old twins. I have plenty of time during the days to walk, spend time, cuddle, and love on your furry family members. My specialty is mid day breaks/walks or check ins while you’re away or have a long day at work. I am aware of the tremendous responsibility it is caring for your pet. I have my own pups and kitties and will give the same love, care, and respect my babies receive.
“We had a great experience with John. Not only was he able to help us out in a pinch, (just before a holiday weekend with meet and greet promptly scheduled) our dog loved him and he executed care instructions as planned. He exceeded our expectations of a drop-in sitter. John was a great communicator, giving us daily updates about our dog, sending pictures, and reaching out with major things of notice (nothing bad, but our cat was up to no good). We plan to book John again the next time we need some help with our dog!”
“I cannot say enough about how great Sam was with our fur-babies. She really took the time with them and made our going away super stress free for us and them. We don’t go away often but will definitely look to use Sam again and will recommend and sing her praises to whoever will listen. Thank you so much Sam!!! I cannot say enough how much we appreciate you!!!”
About: Very experienced Petsitter available to care for your pets. I have twenty five years of caring for dogs and cats at all life stages and enjoy each life stage. I work from home so I have plenty of time to give appropriate and loving care to your pet plus they get a lots of play time with my pets. I have a safe fenced-in yard. I provide walks if you chose. I also do drop in visits to your home. I can administer meds.
About: I've been around animals my entire life, living in a veritable zoo with cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, hamsters, and siblings. While I've helped care for my parent's pets since I was a child, my first fur-baby is Sully, a 75lb German Shepherd/Black Lab rescue that my wife and I adopted in 2016. Since my primary work is at home, I spend more time with Sully than anyone else! I currently work a full-time job in online education, and I am also responsible for care-giving for my son at least two days per week. I plan for pet-care to be a part-time job where I travel to your home to walk and/or spend time with your pet. I am open to dog boarding if your dog ends up being a good fit and is introduced to my son and dog. I have a fenced-in yard for play, and I'm also a short walk from Woods Hollow Nature Preserve in Ballston Spa. I am out with Sully every 3-4 hours for a walk, potty-break, or to play ball.
“I can always count on Kaitlyn to go above and beyond expectations. She made sure Kittie was well taken care of, gave get lots of attention, and even vacuums and cleans up the litter that falls out of the box without prompting. She does it on her own which days a lot. I fully trust her and feel confident my animals are taken care of and loved on when she's there!”

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 .
