“Looove lilly! She came visit us to get to know the cats before we left. This was my first time using rover and also our first time leaving our cats after moving to a new place so I was pretty anxious. But she took such great care of my babies that I didn’t have to worry about them while we were on vacation. She made sure our cats trusted her and was so patient with them. She kept me updated and love all the pictures she sent me. TY LILLY 🤍”
About: As a pet owner and a certified Veterinary Assistant with hands-on experience working at a veterinary clinic, I bring a unique level of care and expertise to every pet I sit for. From administering medication to understanding animal behavior, I’m equipped to handle everything from routine care to special needs pets! I am a student-athlete at Austin Peay State University playing lacrosse! I have a pretty flexible schedule so feel free to reach out with anytime and I will try and make it work! When caring for your pets, I make sure to follow your pets routine as closely as possible to help them feel at ease! I offer regular walks, playtime, and feeding at the times they are used to, ensuring their comfort and security while you’re away. I also make sure to maintain a clean and safe environment, keeping your home tidy and your pets space organized. Whether it’s administering medication, providing cuddles, or simply offering some quiet time, I focus on giving your pet the love and care they deserve!
About: I have owned and cared for dogs throughout my entire life, beginning when I was six years old. Over the past nine years of my military career, I have also gained extensive experience caring for pets while service members were away for field exercises, missions or other military obligations. These experiences have taught me to be responsible, dependable and attentive to individual needs of each animal. I understand the importance of providing consistent care, maintaining routines, and ensuring that pets are safe, comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Although I work full time, I have flexible availability outside of work. I am available for pet care and boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 6:00 p.m., allowing me to provide your pets with attentive and reliable care during my available hours. I have a fully fenced yard where pets can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time. Our neighborhood also has several nearby parks and a large open field close to our home, providing plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and exploration. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I will follow the owners instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and other daily routines. I will also treat the home with the same care and respect I would want for my own home, keeping the space clean and secure while providing the pet with plenty of attention and companionship.
“Amazing pet sitter! She treated my sons with care and made sure to update me at every moment. I love the pictures she provided and she always made sure to have eyes on both kitties before leaving. If you are looking for a sitter, i couldnt recommend her more!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have a 13-year-old dog, so I understand the care, patience, and attention they need at every stage. I also worked as a Canine Coach in a professional dog daycare, where I supervised group play, monitored behavior, and ensured the safety of multiple dogs at once. Through both personal and professional experience, I’ve developed a strong ability to read dog body language, stay calm in different situations, and create a safe, positive environment. I treat every dog like my own, whether that means matching a high-energy pup or providing extra care for older dogs. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and attentive care so pet parents feel confident and at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule, however, I do work a full time job close by which allows me to provide consistent and attentive care. I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and maintaining consistent, high-quality care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on providing attentive, individualized care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. During walks, I prioritize safety, proper leash handling, and making sure dogs get both physical activity and mental stimulation at a pace that suits them. For drop-in visits, I ensure pets are well cared for by refreshing food and water, providing playtime or enrichment, and giving them attention and companionship. I also carefully monitor behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being during each visit, and I always respect the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions. I make sure to communicate clearly with pet parents, including updates and photos if desired, so they feel confident and connected while they’re away.

This was my second time booking with Mrs. June, and once again, she was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my kitty, DC, while I was away on vacation. She is dependable, kind, and thoughtful, and I especially appreciate the pictures and updates she sends during her visits. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing DC is being cared for while I’m away. It’s such a comfort to have someone I can trust, and I’m so grateful to have found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her!
Ashton is a wonderful pet sitter! She is knowledgeable about animals, trustworthy, attentive, and does an incredible job keeping owners updated on each visit with pictures. She did a great job checking on my kitty while I was away and I will definitely use her again!
Megan was phenomenal! She took such good care of my fur baby! The pictures she took and updates she provided let me know my kitty was well taken care of. She also brought in some packages of mine and was very respectful of my home. I would absolutely book with her again! Thank you so much megan!
I was away for the weekend and needed someone to stop by to check in on my cat, Charlie. Aaron responded to my request quickly, and he was very professional when we had our first meet and greet before booking. While watching Charlie, he had amazing communication over the weekend and always sent photos and updates with every check-in. Charlie can be pretty nervous around new people, but Aaron was super patient with him and let him warm up at his own pace. He kept the litter box clean and even washed Charlie's food dishes, which I really appreciated. Aaron was very reliable and easy to work with, and I felt like I could relax on my weekend trip knowing Charlie was in good hands. I would definitely book with Aaron again!
Alexis is the absolute perfect fit for our babies. We have 3 cats and all 3 took to her off the bat (never happensw with strangers). You can just tell she has a kind soul who wants to love our pets. She communicated through every visit and sent plenty of pictures. We will definitely use her for our next pet sitting needs.

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.

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.
