“Our cat Po’Boy is 17 years old and requires medications, several small meals per day and companionship when we are out of town. Tami, the Rover house sitter, did a great job of providing the services needed and communicated regularly on how Po’Boy was doing and was always on time for appointments. We enjoyed the pictures sent of Po’Boy. We will certainly be requesting Tami when we go on future trips.”
About: I am, without question, a cat person. Honestly, if I could responsibly take in all cats in need, I probably would. Cats have been part of my life forever, and caring for them is something I genuinely love doing. I’ve had my own cats for over 20 years and have raised multiple cats from kittens all the way into their senior years. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from zoomie filled kittens to elderly cats needing extra patience, comfort, and medical support. I’m very experienced with senior cat care, including medication administration, fluid injections, monitoring health changes, and handling vet visits. I understand how important routines, patience, and trust are, especially with older or shy cats. Right now, my household includes two wild little 3 month old kittens plus two senior cats who are 16 and 18 years old, so I’m very used to balancing playful energy with gentle care. Whether your cat wants nonstop attention, quiet companionship, playtime, or just someone respectful of their space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. I know leaving your pets with someone else can feel stressful, so my goal is always to make both you and your cats feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. Your cat will be treated like one of my own spoiled little babies while you’re away. Pet sitting fits very naturally into my schedule because I work for myself full time, which gives me a flexible routine and plenty of availability for check ins, feedings, playtime, and quality time with your pets throughout the day. Caring for animals is already a huge part of my daily life, so I’m able to be attentive, reliable, and consistent with routines and care. I am very flexible and able to work within your preferred schedule, including days, nights, weekends, and some holidays. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pets with someone else, so I do my best to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while you’re away. I pay close attention to each cat’s personality and comfort level, whether they want nonstop attention, playtime, cuddles, or just a quiet companion nearby. I also keep an eye on eating habits, litter box use, behavior, and overall wellbeing so you can feel confident your cat is genuinely being cared for and loved like one of my own.
“Abigail continues to do a great job taking care of my cat that needs daily medication when I’m gone. She is so conscientious and goes above and beyond to keep things clean and tidy.”
About: I’ve always been the designated animal lover in my family and the person everyone calls when they need a trusted pet sitter. I’ve cared for dogs for a week at a time on many occasions, so I’m comfortable taking on the responsibility that comes with extended care. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their people are away. I currently work two jobs, but I often have free evenings and pockets of availability throughout my week. I’d love to use that extra time doing something I genuinely enjoy! Whether you’re working late, have plans after work, or simply need someone to stop by and let your dog out, I’m happy to help I know how important it is to feel comfortable with someone caring for your pet in your own home. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that keeps your pet safe. I’ll treat your home with respect and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away.
“Nicole was amazing!!! She took some of the best pictures of my cats and sent them every day, her communication skills were amazing and she went above and beyond caring for my cats and my home. I am amazed and so grateful to have found her. Ive had the best experience with her and I cant say enough!!”
“Rosie interviewed Nicole in a Meet and Greet and I heard Nicole say we will get along just fine! And I could see that and it happened! Nicole went out of her way to pave the way for being with Rosie. She wanted to know her habits, asked about brushing her and wanted to know my needs for updates. I felt very comfortable leaving Rosie in Nicole’s care. And from the updates I could tell Rosie felt comfortable with Nicole. I will definitely call upon Nicole again! She cared, was dependable and easy to work with. I may even book a play date for Rosie knowing how they got along. Glad to have River!”
“I did not get to meet Leora personally due to the weather and short notice of the booking but she was communicative at every step and asked questions about the directions I left to ensure my cats were taken care of.”
About: I have 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs & cats of all ages and personalities. I have also worked in pet care roles and fostered animals, including those who are shy, anxious or have special needs. I am patient, gentle and attentive and I take the time to understand each pet's unique needs and routine. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM–4:00 PM in an office, so I plan my schedule around providing reliable, attentive care for the pets I look after. I’m available for pet care outside of my work hours, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I understand how important consistency and communication are, and I always do my best to accommodate each pet’s needs and maintain their routine. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away! In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and safe, supervised time, and I’m mindful of giving pets their own space when needed—especially those who are shy or adjusting. In your home, I focus on maintaining consistency and following your instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and playtime. I treat your home with respect, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal in any setting is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I was lucky to grow up with lots of pets and always had an obsession with animals. My Mom did Rover for 6 years and I went from assisting her to loving it enough to go full time. If you want a pet sitter that loves and cares about your pets as much as you do, i’m your guy!😁 I’m currently looking to do pet sitting full time. I’m accepting both recurring and as needed clients. I am very flexible so any questions feel free to ask I include a visit update and picture of your pet sent to you at the end of every visit. When walking dogs, I make sure to never leave the house without the leash secured. Any medications, special diets, general likes and dislikes your pets may have, silly quirks; we will work together to make sure all needs are met and importantly that your pet feels happy and comfortable too!
“Finally! We have found the perfect cat and house sitter. Terri did an amazing job taking care of both while we were gone for 2 weeks. Our house was just as clean as I left it (I am a little OCD when it comes to that) and our little ball of fur was happy. Terri sent pictures daily and updated us each day with how Callie was doing. You could tell from the pictures our kitty was relaxed and comfortable with Terri. I would highly recommend Terri to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry family member and home. She is amazing!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, especially larger breeds, and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve personally owned two Pit Bulls, one weighing 70 pounds and the other 132 pounds, along with a Pomeranian, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels! My family has always had larger dogs and has trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I’ve also helped friends with cat sitting, so my love and experience extend beyond just dogs! For the past year and a half, I’ve been a stay-at-home mom, which has taught me even more about patience, responsibility, and maintaining a loving, attentive environment. I understand that pets are family, and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d give my own pets! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week, including weekdays and could be flexible depending on weekends. I’m happy to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. My 1½-year-old would accompany me during visits, so I ask that pets be comfortable and safe around young children. I understand how important it is to find someone dependable to care for your furry family members, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving, and attentive care while working around your pet’s individual routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! While I do not offer pet care in my own home, I’m more than happy to provide care in the comfort of yours, where your pets can remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, as well as smaller dogs and cats. I understand that every animal has its own personality, needs, and boundaries, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Since my young child accompanies me, I only accept pets that are comfortable around toddlers. I prioritize safe interactions, close supervision, and respecting each animal’s personal space. I’m also happy to follow any specific feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, or special instructions you provide. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are receiving dependable, compassionate care while you’re away!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, even dogs that can be leash, collar, and dog aggressive when walking. I am mostly available later in the week and weekends due to being a full time student, but have breaks in between my school days! There is a green area for dogs down the street from me and a quick 15 minute walk towards the lake for more walking paths!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Big Bend
Tami did an excellent job caring for both my cats who have medical needs. My older cat is a diabetic with severe skin issues requiring multiple medications on an alternating schedule in addition to her twice a day insulin. She did a good job asking questions and making sure Kitten got the medications she needed on the correct schedule. She successfully gave both oral and injection medication and Kitten was in great shape when I got back (which is not always the case after a vacation due to her detailed care needs). There were some minor things that came up but those were mostly me being very particular about some specifics and in the end, were not that important and didn't affect the care of the cats. The house was clean and the cat food and litter box trash taken out, which I appreciated.
Tami did such a wonderful job attending to my two relatively new kitties - and definitely new to each other - as one was just adopted about 2 months ago. I would recommend Tami and will definitely try to fit into Tami's calendar again, the next time I need cat sitting services. Thanks Tami!! Great Job!! Georgie and Freddie miss you already!!
Katie did a wonderful job taking care of our senior cat, Luna! Luna is shy and has her routines--meds, supplements, foods, treats. Katie patiently managed them all while helping Luna feel as comfortable as possible with us out of the house. I really appreciate Katie's kindness and care!

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
