“Tiffany did a great job visiting Bootsy while we were out of town. Everything went as expected and she makes a real effort to interact with the cat. Will absolutely use again!”

“Took great care of our boys while we were gone. They all got play time and attention. Had no worries or issues with anything from feeding needs to boxes. Will be having her stop in again the next trip we take for sure!”

About: Looking for a side job to not only help pet owners but to help me get a foot into my passion with working with animals. I have taken care of and owned cats dogs fish birds and even squirrels, I have been born and raised in a pet household owning my first pet when I was 12. I've taken care of quite a few animals, sick cats and kittens, with recently temporarily fostering a very sick kitten. I have pet set for both family and neighbor a few times. I enjoy working with animals and even enjoy teaching basic tricks and training. I work a full time job however I'm trying to get my foot into working more with animals as well at making some side cash, I'm free Fridays and Saturdays, but I do have limited freedom on Thursdays and Sundays. I unfortunately can't do boarding/ pet sitting at my own house do to my cats and family, but otherwise I can at pet owners home.
About: After over 25 years working in education, I took the leap and followed my passion to animal rescue. After volunteering for over 15 years in rescue, I've worked full time in the field. While most of my work is with cats, I do help with dogs as well. I love all cats (even the spicy ones) and have experience distributing meds, nail trims, etc. I also have a flexible schedule and can work with you to meet your floof's needs!! While I work full-time, I do set my own hours for the most part. So I am available to stop in both during the day and evenings. I live in Independence, but travel to Olathe for work and various locations around KC, so I can be flexible on locations as well! As the mom to 3 cats (Chunk, Pam, & Wink) and a foster mama to many more, I understand that the safety of your fu babies is the top priority. I promise to treat them like my own. I am very picky about who cat sits for me, so I understand the additional stress leaving town comes with. So rest assured they will be spoiled rotten!!
“We had a great experience with Emma checking in on our sweet cat! We greatly appreciated the updates and the photos. We could tell our cat was in good hands! We would definitely recommend and would happily have her watch our cat again!”
About: Hi! I currently work at a dog boarding/daycare facility, so I am experienced in the care and safety of pets! I own 6 pets at home, and I have always had many pets growing up. I wish to become a zoologist someday so I can create conservation acts to save animals. I am here to ensure your pet is cared for! I usually work around 4 days a week for my job and I have 6 hour shifts. If I were to house sit for your pets I would have plenty of time in the morning and afternoon to make sure your pets are fed, let out, and played with! Making sure pets are provided with their needs is important to me! Working at a dog boarding facility provides me with many opportunities to care for varying types of dog behaviors! I have had to help dogs with anxiety, aggression, and possession. I have greatly improved my skills to ensure dogs are safe and comfortable in my care.
“Saige was a fantastic sitter! She communicated well and was very kind and timely. My cats were very well taken care of and I felt very comfortable leaving them in her hands, especially because they seemed to like her right off the bat which is not normal for them! We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since 2018 and have hands-on experience working at two professional dog boarding facilities. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including feeding, supervising playtime, letting dogs out, and spending time with them in the yard. Outside of my professional experience, I’ve also cared for dogs in my own home for friends, family, and others. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they’re away from their family. With years of experience around dogs, I’m comfortable caring for everything from energetic pups who want to play to dogs who prefer a little extra patience and attention. My goal is always to treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, throughout the week. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Because I provide care in your home, my priority is keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I have over 8 years of hands-on dog care experience and have worked in two professional boarding facilities with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ll follow your instructions closely, treat your home with respect, and give your pets the same patience, attention, and care I would want for my own.
About: I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats who need a little extra attention. Through caring for my own pets and pet sitting for family over the years, I’ve gained experience following feeding schedules, administering medications when needed, monitoring behavior for any changes, and making sure pets stay comfortable and stress-free in their own homes. I understand that every pet has different needs, whether that’s caring for a playful kitten, giving extra patience to a shy cat, or keeping an active dog on their normal routine. I’m attentive, dependable, and committed to following your pet’s care instructions so they receive the same love, patience, and quality of care they’re used to while you’re away. I’m committed to being as flexible as possible for you and your pets. My schedule allows me to be available seven days a week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether you need a last-minute visit, regular drop-ins, overnight care, or extended pet sitting, I’m happy to accommodate your needs whenever possible. You can count on me to provide reliable, dependable care and keep your pets happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I live in an apartment along side my two cat companions. There is always room for more to stay, as well as a dog area at my complex.
About: Pets have been a part of my life my whole life. I've owned everything from dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and ferrets. In high school I spent all my extra time volunteering at Kansas City Ferret Rescue. We even ran some of the shelter out of our house for a while. Currently I own 2 pit bulls and boy do I love my bully breeds. I have Marvel who is 11 and hes my gentle giant. We adopted his mother and had her her whole life and kept him from a litter of puppies she had. We've been together since birth. I also have Alice and she is getting ready to turn 5, we adopted her at 8 weeks old from a neighbor. She's super energetic. I have LOTS of training in taking care of puppies. I also own a 13 year old black Maine coon cat. I adopted him from wayside waifs when he was a tiny 8 week old kitten. My pets are very loved and yours will be also! We will have lots of fun playing with toys, going on walks and all the belly rubs. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to spend with your babies while your away. There will be no hurry in my visits. I currently walk my dogs everyday. They are fed twice a day, morning and evening. We also play ball and Frisbee in our backyard. I will try to keep your pets schedule as close as I can to their current schedule with you.
About: I love dogs and dogs love me! I worked at Blue Springs Animal Hospital and Pet Resort for a whole year and absolutely loved it! I cared for animals right out of surgery and regulars boarding patients too. I am very qualified to care for your loving pet because I can do anything from making sure his or her medicine is distributed on time to running a mile with your pup. I have experience with it all. At the animal hospital we were required to potty walk the pups in rain or shine so you can guarantee your pup will be potty walked no matter what when they are in my care. I strive in making happy pets because a happy pet is a happy owner! I drop my son off at school at 8ma and pick him up at 11am so I am available between those times in the morning. I am also available after 4pm once my husband gets home to take care of our son. I will monitor your pets to the best of my ability! I have seen and experience a lot with previously working in an animal hospital.
“Gabby took such good care of my three cats while I was gone. They were comfortable and happy. Well, except for Boo, who is never happy. 😂 I will definitely call her again. She is a treasure!”
About: I’ve done overnight pet and house sitting for several years and different clients, as well as drop/in visits to feed, care, and keep pets company while owners are away. I work a full time day job during the week and am free most evenings and weekends. I work my day job the first Saturday of every month. I have a fenced in yard and have experience with crated and non-crated situations. The physical and emotional wellbeing of your pet is of the utmost importance.

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 .

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 .
