“Our cat, Phoenix, loved hanging out with Stephanie! On top of that, she was a great communicator and followed our requests diligently. Phoenix can't wait to see her again!”
“Gianna took care of my cat for 10 days while I was away. She was warm and patient with him from day one, checked in right on schedule, and sent photos with every visit. Her updates were clear and detailed and communication was good. She was proactive in communicating any issues. During a heat wave she flagged the temperature in my place and suggested I turn on the AC, something I wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. Highly recommend Gianna.”
“Andrea did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats. She was very thorough and organized when she came to visit beforehand. While we were gone she was very attentive to how our cats were doing, how they were eating and using their litter boxes, and their general mood each day. Her messages were not just informative but funny too, and we enjoyed reading them each day. I also really appreciated the additional videos she sent along side the pictures. I could not have felt more comfortable leaving our cats and home in Andrea's care.”
“Rachel took wonderful care of our cat while we were away for a recent trip. She was super communicative with thoughtful updates every day and lots of photos. It was reassuring while we were away. Our cat absolutely adores her. Highly recommended sitter! We will definitely book again soon.”
“Rebecca was great with our two cats! One of them takes a while to come around to new people, but Rebecca gave her the space and encouragement to come out during visits and she eventually did!”

“Aik came by the house before his petsitting visit to learn where everything was... he followed instructions perfectly and sent a picture of the one cat who came out to see him when he was here. Looking forward to having him take care of the cats, house and plants again!”
“I highly recommend Yujia! She’s been taking care of my dog for the past 4 weeks and has been great. She feeds her, takes her to the park, and always sends me pictures and updates. My dog seems very happy and comfortable with her. I’m really glad I found her!”
“Jessica sent photos of suki daily and seemed very well cared for. She had plenty of food and water and was in a good mood so I know she took good care of her”
“Blessy is a super kind and knowledgeable sitter. She certainly got my cats to warm up to her very fast. She completed all the tasks we requested of her and was super flexible when our plans changed. We appreciated the care she gave our cat Anchovy who is quite the active youngster, we could tell he had been played with sufficiently by her. He didn’t seem anxious at all when we got home. Needless to say, we appreciated all the detailed care our pets received in our home. Our older cat Chiquitina seemed pleased and that made us happy. We hope to have Blessy sit for us again sometime soon”
“Samantha was so so great with our dog! Our husky can be a diva and she was so patient and communicative with us while we were away. It was so great knowing that our dog was so excited to see her every time she checked in.”
“Maria is extremely attentive and responsible! She treated my cats with great care and special attention. Knowing they were well taken care of while I was away gave me a great deal of comfort and relief.”
“Richard was beyond amazing! He took care of our Jasper for the few days we were out of town. We received daily photos and messages detailing his play time. Richard even brought over some cat toys for Jasper to play with. On top of that he kept the surrounding area of his litter clean, and also cleaned his dishes. He truly made us feel at ease. Jasper was in excellent hands while we were away. Highly recommend Richard.”
“Hope took great care of Biscuit for us. She arrived on time, followed Biscuit’s meal routine, walked her and got her back into the crate reliably. Hope sent me updates and photos, keeping me in the loop on how things were going. Biscuit enjoyed her time with Hope and we would certainly ask Hope to care for Biscuit again. Thanks, Hope!”
“Vicki and her husband were great at communicating and sending updates on our cat. It was a smooth pick up and drop off for us. We will definitely be booking with Vicki in the future.”
“Mashiat provided great service for our cat, Fuzz. She even agreed to come by our house beforehand to meet Fuzz. Her gentle demeanor won Fuzz over and he approached her right away. She gave us suggestions for things to provide for his comfort. We had never boarded our cat before, and it put us at ease to know that he was in a calm, clean, cat-friendly home with an attentive, communicative, caring person. Fuzz seemed to warm up to her easily. Mashiat sent us a quick message with pictures daily. I recommend her and wouldn't hesitate to have her watch Fuzz again.”
“Katrina is amazing! She dropped in on my cat this week, and I really appreciate how she is a great commincator and is very knowledgeable about pet care. She always goes above and beyond and it gives me a lot of peace of mind to know my cat is well cared for.”

Rachel took wonderful care of our cat while we were away for a recent trip. She was super communicative with thoughtful updates every day and lots of photos. It was reassuring while we were away. Our cat absolutely adores her. Highly recommended sitter! We will definitely book again soon.
Outstanding! I cannot recommend Natalie highly enough. She looked after our cats for three weeks and each day gave them excellent care with detailed reports and photos. She outfoxed an invading ant colony, offered to do laundry where cats had sickup-ed, cleaned floors of accidents, brought extra treats, supplies and litter from home.
Jo-Anne took excellent care of our guinea pig, dependably coming over daily during our long time away. She was kind and caring to our piggie, even going above and beyond to bring over extra homemade toys and looking up ways to enrich our piggie’s day. It was such a comfort to know that Jo-Anne was there every day, and we really appreciate her diligent care of our little one. Thank you so much, Jo-Anne!
Aik went above and beyond when I had a time sensitive package unexpectedly delivered while I was out of town. Aik went back to the house 2 extra times to be sure it was put inside without me even asking... I was SO appreciative as it allowed us to enjoy our time away without stressing or having to track down someone else to put it in!
She was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my cats, kept me updated, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She’s such a sweet and kind person, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I ever need a cat sitter in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring!
She took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. One of our cats is extremely shy and skittish, and I was so impressed that she was able to earn his trust. She was reliable, trustworthy, attentive, and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our cats were in such great hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!

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.

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.
