“Emily did a great job with my 1year old kitten and 28yr old Quaker parrot. Neither one are friendly, and don’t like strangers but it only took 1 day for them to warm up to her. This is the happiest my pets have been when we have come home from a trip. We will definitely be using Emily for all our pet sitting needs in the future. Emily was meticulous, detail oriented, followed instructions to the letter and even brought her own survey for me to fill out with questions about my pets and routine I wouldn’t have even thought to mention. Cannot recommend her services enough❤️ Thanks so much Emily!”
“Jennifer was wonderful with my cat. She communicated very well and kept me updated during her visits. When she had trouble finding my cat one day (because he was hiding way better that I thought he could), she took extra time to check the house thoroughly for him and made sure he had everything he needed before she left. Highly recommend to anyone needing a sitter in the area!”
“Haylee was absolutely wonderful with Chestnut! She was great to work with, communicated very well, and took excellent care of him while we were away. Chestnut is a senior dog and can be a little more high maintenance, but she took his care very seriously and followed all of the instructions we left perfectly. We could tell he was very comfortable with her and well cared for. We are so happy with our experience and will definitely be using Haley again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Mandy was so great for me in a pinch! She worked with me to get and return my key and took care of my cat while I was gone for a few days. She was responsive and sent pictures and videos of my happy cat. I would book with her again!”
“Bonnie is the best cat sitter I’ve had. She genuinely cares for your pets as if they are her own and goes above and beyond for them. I cannot thank her enough for making me feel less anxious when I have to leave my fur babies behind. Do not hesitate to book her, she’s the best!”
“Bre made an awesome effort to come visit me and Moses the Sphynx before her first sitting dates to get acquainted with him and the house. She was on time, friendly, asked great questions, and was communicative during her check ins. I recommend her wholeheartedly and look forward to working with her again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, and cats since I was a little girl! To seven dogs in my house growing up… From massive dogs like Cane Corso’s, to chihuahua’s, they’re all big babies to me! With doggy daycare training, and experience, it makes for a proactive combination. I can lift, twist, run, bend, and messes of ALL kinds are absolutely no biggie to me! I’m currently working part-time, but plan to leave at the end of September, so my schedule will be open and available to any needs! I’m also waiting for spring semester to start, so my schedule is completely open! I have a 4x4 pin I use for my dog, since we don’t have a fence, I also take him to the dog park, and crate him when needed. So, crate’s, little quirks to keep the crate locked, all of that… trust me, I’m familiar. I’ll make sure your dog/cat is all safe and locked up before leaving, and even send proof for a sense of peace!
About: I grew up owning dogs so I know the basics for them. I more recently have gotten a cat. I have previously fostered 7 kittens at a time so I know I can handle whatever comes my way! I work full time on the weekdays so I have time on the weekends to check up and help out with your pets then! I can’t wait to meet your pets! I have watched and sat many pets for friends and families so it has given me plenty of experience. As a pet owner myself I know how to react incase of emergencies.
“Sarah has been great! She took care of a total of four cats which belonged to me and my friend. She is very friendly with the cats, sent timely photos and videos (which was a relief), understood the needs of our pets and understands the traditional as well as modern cat appliances which was a plus. Had a truly amazing experience.”
“Kayla has been wonderful with my 2 dogs. It was a busy schedule of 2xs daily visits and groomer drop off. She was there every day playing with them or soothing them through the thunderstorm. She has fed them meticulously with the multitude of additions that they get daily. The pictures showed them being very happy everytime. I am so glad I found her on Rover!”
“Brianna took excellent care of our 18 year old cat and 27 year old Quaker Parrot while we were away on a 3 week trip. The peace of mind her daily check ins with pictures gave me was priceless. Will definitely use her in the future and highly recommend you do as well.”
“Hannah did a great job. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. She posted photos of our cats and sent them to us each day. She even brought the mail in. We will use her again!”
About: I am home full time , available through the week and weekends. I am ready to care for your baby as much as you need. Being raised around animals my whole life, my experience with them are remarkable. Animals easily bond to me. My special skills require recognizing behavioral Signals, recognizing basic health problems, dog handling, and basic training skills. Knowledge of proper grooming (baths, brushing, and pampering needed). . I will provide your dog with a lot of exercise and socializing opportunities thought out the day and as well as love and TONS of fun time. We will enjoy walks, playing fetch, or just lots of belly rubs. I am home most of the time as in right now. I have no pets . . . . . . . . . . Must provide leashes for walks. Must be snug and safe, must fit appropriately. . . . . . . . . . . . .
About: I like animals and have always been wanting to watch over them during my free time. I also enjoy spending time with them either from petting them, walking them or playing around with them. I currently work 2 part time jobs which allows me to have more free time in the afternoon and evening to check up on your animals I have an indoor cat which allows her to freely run around without having to be outside and with this experience I am able to watch other indoor cats and I can take care of indoor/ outdoor dogs as well

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
