“Adrienne was great; this was the second time we've had her stop by to care for our cat Nugget, who really loves some play time each day. Adrienne played with her and sent a photo or two every day, in addition to giving her food and water. Definitely recommend.”
“Georgia was an excellent sitter. She had great communication with us and made us feel very comfortable while we were away. I highly recommend Georgia for all of your pet sitting needs! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Sarah took great care of Peri and was very communicative throughout our time away. We appreciated the thorough updates and her amenability to helping us with pet care relatively last minute. We will definitely contact her again for future pet care needs!”
“We were away for a week and Karla took great care of our 2 cats! She was a great communicator which gave us peace of mind. She followed our instructions well and even helped bringing in our mail and packages. Our cats were shy and nervous around her at first but after a few days they’d totally warmed up to her and sent us the cutest pics of them. We’d absolutely book her again!”
“Alex and her daughter were wonderful caretakers for our shy kitty Mia and our aquarium fish. This was my second booking with Alex, and I will definitely book again.”
“Victoria was a really wonderful pet sitter. She took awesome care of my anxious, scared-of-strangers cat with grace and lots of treats. She went the extra mile to come visit our home to get a lay of the land before we went out of town and asked many clarifying questions to make sure she did a great job. Her clients include cats with specific medical needs, so I knew she would be understanding of my cat's boundaries and limitations when it comes to interaction. She sent updates and was communicative throughout the entire time she dropped in to care for my cat. Book Victoria with confidence!”
“John was great with my two kitties! Always had detailed summaries of their visits which was amazing! It’s hard to find people who are reliable. Great experience overall!!”
About: Hello! Growing up my family always had dogs and my favorite thing to do is brush them. I’ve been dog sitting consistently since high school. I have experience with large reactive dogs, so whether you have an angel or a problem child Ive got plenty of love and patience for them:) I have one kitty at home and no dogs. I tried walking the cat but she’s determined to stay indoors so here I am! I’m happily self employed! That means my schedule can be whatever it needs to be. No time is off limits. But I do have a special place in my heart for morning walks because they start my day on the right foot. I will follow your instructions to a T! Nobody knows your pet better than you do, so to keep them happy and safe I will defer to your instructions.
“We can not say enough about Madison! If you are looking for someone to check in on your 4 legged best friend and treat them like their own, then Madison is the one! She is 100% dedicated to taking care Baxter during the day while we are at work. Takes him out to potty, playtime outside and/or inside, even a little bit of training and back out for another potty break before leaving him in his crate. Her report cards and pictures are so detailed about their time together and any helpful tips or information about Baxter. You can tell she has a true love for our furry pup! Baxter just loves her and we can’t imagine having anyone else! 🐶❤️🐾”
About: I am a true animal lover!I have a genuine passion for all animals, and I truly believe they deserve love and respect, especially when their families are away. I currently volunteer at the Ithaca SPCA, where I walk dogs every Sunday. This experience has not only deepened my love for animals but has also taught me the importance of providing each pet with individual attention and care. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I strive to cater to those while ensuring they feel safe and loved. When you choose me as your animal sitter, you can rest assured that I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I will provide them with the same respect, love, and attention they are used to, so they can feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I work from home and am able to take time for daily check ins and have weekend availability as well. Taking care of animals truly brings me so much joy and I am beyond happy to make the time that is necessary to take care of your sweet pets. I currently have no pets living in my home, but have a few feline friends that frequent my apartment. I know that a pet is as important as a family member and holds such a special place in the lives of it's owner. I make sure to provide all necessary attention, love and nurturing to a pet when needed.
About: I have been caring for dogs since we got our own pet dog when I was 8. Since then, we have fostered many puppies, and I have become a volunteer raiser and sitter for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. I have lots of experience with different kinds of pet care for all kinds of different pets. I am a senior student at Ithaca College with a very light schedule this semester! I would love to spend my free time caring for your pets. I am familiar with exercising and entertaining pets, or practicing any training you may request. I also make a great snuggle buddy for your pets whether on the furniture or on the floor :)
About: I have cared for pets for many years. I have experience working in an animal shelter with dogs and cats, and have additional experience pet-sitting and caring for a variety of animals with a variety of needs- from dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and even snakes! From my experience, I have a lot of knowledge and ability to manage senior pets, pets with special/health needs, and young animals who may need more care. In addition to my pet care experience, I was raised on an inner-city farm, so I am familiar with the work, time, and care that should be devoted to animals of all kinds. I am currently a full-time college student- I have a decent amount of flexibility in my schedule and am happy to work with you based on what you and your fur babies need. Please share any specific schedule needs with me so I know how best to cater to your pet(s). I am comfortable and capable with many aspects of pet (cat, dog, rabbit, chicken, reptile, etc) care- including walking, crating, feeding, administering medication, and anything else that your pet may need!
“Kate was amazing to our cat Curry! It was such a relief to receive photos and little comments of how the day went with him. She even took him for a walk with his leash. Kate was very responsible with our apartment also. We will definitely book Kate again.”
About: Hello, I am Carley and I’ve taken care of a wide variety of animals. Over the years, I’ve trained several dogs, including my own current yorkie, and have provided care for pets belonging to neighbors, friends, and family. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, administering basic training, cleaning, simple medication administration and giving extra attention to all animals. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, cleaning or simply keeping your furry friend company, I treat every animal like part of my own family. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule and can often work around your needs. Most of the time, I’m available to adjust to fit your routine, whether it’s weekdays, weekends, or evenings. I love spending time with animals of all kinds, and I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re with me. I provide a safe and welcoming environment for a variety of animals, with a yard for outdoor play and two friendly dogs who enjoy having company. If needed, I can crate your pet or create a quiet, separate space to help them feel secure. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or other small pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own and do everything I can to give them comfort and care while you’re away.
“Jenna was fantastic with our cat Astro! She kept us updated with photos and videos. Astro looked so relaxed and comfortable with her. I can tell he really adores her. In addition to playing and being a great companion for Astro, Jenna cleaned the litter, made sure there’s food in the automatic feeder and filled the water bowl as needed. We were so appreciative when we came back to a clean home after Jenna had vacuumed around the litter box and scratch box area. We are so pleased with Jenna that we plan to have her take care of Astro again in a few weeks!”
About: *Now available for work starting August 2026! Hello there, I'm Rowan! New to Rover, not to animal care- I'm an artist and animator who takes care of animals on the side. I grew up with a flurry of different pets when I was younger which later led me to attain a lot of experience with all types of critters. Previously I studied animal science and also have experience working at a dog daycare/boarding facility in the past. I work with cats, rodents, and other small animals including fish and reptiles! Animal care comes naturally to me and those who know me have commented on my patience and perception to behavior and social signals from all different types of creatures. I am quick to answer texts and questions and have a flexible schedule. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I'm working part-time and freelance at the moment, so I have ample time in the week to tend to clients. Look to my current listed schedule for up-to-date details. Cats: I can feed, give medication, and play with them if they're amiable to it. For safety reasons I will not let any cat outside unless you have a trusted, closed in "catio" or the like. Caged small animals: I can feed (legal live food is fine), give medication, clean up enclosures (no deep cleans), and take them out of the cage to play safely. Pets' needs will vary wildly depending on the type of pet you have, so we will work together to figure out what your pet will need while you're away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, with different energy levels and needs for decades. I’ve volunteered for rescues and fostered puppies and seniors. I am comfortable administering meds, giving baths, working on manners, caring for reactive pups, and will go out of my way to meet your dog’s needs. My flexible schedule gives me plenty of time for long walks and playing with pups on both weekdays and weekends (yes, I am very lucky). I will follow your instructions carefully to make sure that your pet is happy and safe. A pet’s safety is always my number one priority.

Noah is our go-to cat sitter! Very attentive to the different needs and personalities of our 3 cats. He is patient and accommodating, from the noisy one who needs daily medication to the young shy one who has not yet learned that Noah is a trusted friend. It is nice to be confident that our cats and our home are well attended while we are out of town.
Victoria is an incredible cat sitter. Our cats require a lot of time and attention, and she handled all of their idiosyncrasies with incredible dexterity. We would highly recommend. She was able to give one of our cats both immunotherapy injections and eyedrops. She communicated well and consistently, and we always felt that our cats were in the best of hands. The best, five stars, two thumbs up, certified fresh.
Rose was super! Very communicative both before and during care, very organized, friendly, responsible and reassuring. I have a range of pets with various needs, and she cared for both the dog and cat so wonderfully. I felt very secure knowing Roae was taking care of my fur babies. I also appreciated all the updates and photos. Highly recommend Rose!

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 .
