“Christina was so great, our cat that usually takes a lot time to trust and warm up to people came out to meet Christina immediately and felt comfortable. Would 100% recommend.”
“Maryline is a wonderful sitter, she always takes great care of my cat Meowtus and he loves her and her son. She is highly responsive to questions and concerns and replies very quickly. Would definitely recommend!”
“We’ve booked with Tara before, and she always takes such great care of our cat. It’s clear she truly cares, and we have peace of mind knowing our kitty is in good hands. Reliable, thoughtful, and highly recommended”
“Kasey was great. She took great care of our cat and sent photos each day. She even replaced our lizard’s bulb that burnt out right when we left for our trip. If not replaced, we may have lost our lizard. We can’t thank Kasey enough for that and taking such great care of Koto. We would welcome Kasey back!”
About: • Specialized Senior Pet Care – Gentle handling, mobility support, medication administration, and extra patience for slower-paced walks or special routines. • Health & Comfort Focused – Attentive to changes in mood, appetite, or mobility, with prompt updates if something seems off. • Customized Care – From joint-friendly play to warming up meals, I tailor every visit to your pet’s needs. • Reliable & Communicative – Daily updates with photos and videos so you feel connected and reassured. • Compassionate & Calm – I take my time, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and never rushed. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays when needed. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust to your pet’s feeding, walking, and medication times. Consistency is key, so I make sure my visits are always on time and unrushed—your pet gets my full attention every time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and their animals with the same respect and care as I would my own. I follow the pet’s regular routines—feeding, walking, playtime, and any special instructions—to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure fresh water is always available, litter boxes are cleaned, and living areas are tidy. If medications are needed, I administer them exactly as directed. I also spend quality time giving affection and companionship, so your pet feels secure while you’re away. Before leaving, I ensure the home is secure, lights and doors are as you prefer, and you receive an update with photos so you know everything is safe and well.
“Vicky is wonderful! She was very easy to work with and my little guy really enjoyed spending time with her and it was such a relief to know that my senior dog was being taken care of when he needed.”
About: I’ve walked and trained my own lab mix (10) as well as worked as a dog walker and sitter for independent clients. I’m great with energetic dogs of all sizes. I work a minimum wage job full time during the week, but am looking to supplement or replace it with dog walking on weekends and evenings. At my clients home I will sit out with the dog and crate it easily if needed. I am able to take the dog out every few hours and love taking them on long walks if desired.
“I was very happy with my overall experience with Rover. It was easy to set up and choose someone to care for my 2 cats when I was out of town. Nancy was great! She came when she said she would and gave me updates at each visit. When I came home, the house was so calm and peaceful. The cats were safe, fed and happy. I would definitely recommend Nancy and will use her again in the future. Thanks! :) Rose G.”
About: I've been called a cat whisperer many times in my life. I've live with and took care of all ages of cats, from kittens to senior cats. I am able to adjust my speed to their personalities. I specifically enjoy getting to love on each individual cat for them. I am a freelancer and want to do what I love. I love meeting cats and being around them. It improves my mood whenever I am around cats. I have two 6 year old brother cats, which I rescued in the summer of 2020. Playing with them and hugging on them is worth any care taking that is needed.
“Jasmine was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and treated them as if they were her own pets. She gave them plenty of love, attention, and time to explore and enjoy the outdoors. It was clear from the start that Jasmine is a true professional who genuinely cares about the animals in her care. We felt completely comfortable knowing our crew was in such good hands, and we are so happy we found her. We would highly recommend Jasmine to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to care for their pets!”
“Lex babysat my cat and house for two nights. She was friendly, communicative, and our cat seemed to love her. We came back to a clean house and happy cat. Would absolutely hire her again next time we’re out of town.”

Jeanette was amazing with our cats when we had to leave for a few days from a medical reason. She was so flexible and spent quality times with them. The cats were well-fed, happy under our care. We didn't have to worry about a single thing. I cannot recommend her enough.
Catherine (Gianna) was GREAAAAAT. This was my first time booking someone to watch my cats rather than asking friends/family, so I was a bit apprehensive, but Gianna made me so comfortable. We did a meet and greet before our booking which was great. I have a skittish cat who doesn’t like to come out when there are other people around but to my surprise she had no problem coming out when Gianna was there. She sent pictures and gave me updates and even picked up a frame that had fell and cracked. Amazing experience and I will definitely be using Gianna to watch my babies during my next trip!
Loren went above and beyond in watching our cat while we were away for a week! This is the first time we’ve ever had someone outside of family watch our cat and we’re extremely anxious, but Loren put all that to ease! From the meet and greet to the final visit has been extremely stressless for us. She sent extremely detailed notes every visit and even brought up our garbage cans and vacuumed up litter in the basement. Would definitely book again!

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 .
