“Eric was a fantastic cat sitter for my little guy, Benji. He was responsible, attentive, and clearly experienced with animals. From the start, communication was smooth and professional — Eric kept me updated with regular check-ins and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that he took the time to understand Benji’s routine and personality. When I returned, everything was just as I’d left it — clean litter box, full water bowls, and most importantly, a very content cat. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Eric again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable, thoughtful care for their pet.”
“For my first experience with Rover and a pet sitter it was stress free. With daily updates and photos of my girl I was able to enjoy my time away and know kitty cat was in good hands. Thank you Charlotte for taking amazing care of my girl!! I will definitely reach out again the next time I travel.”
“We are so happy with the care and affection Candy gives our cat while we are away. She has taken care of him for a number of our getaways. We keep asking Candy because she is so reliable and responsive. We have peace of mind and always come home to a happy kitty.”
“Caroline is fantastic. When my flight was delayed, she took it upon herself to check in on the cats beyond the set visits. She is trustworthy, reliable, and seems to genuinely love animals. Highly recommend!”
“Josh was excellent with my two cats. One of my cats required antibiotics while I was away and Josh did an exceptional job of updating me with that. I will absolutely be using him in the future and I encourage others to book with him :)”
“Cyndy was an absolute dream! We have a 11 year old French bull dog who has many quirks and special needs and Cyndy was up for the challenge. She was in communication daily with pictures and messages. She was able to assess situations with our dog extremely well and deal with everything he threw at her. We haven’t been away in many years but with Cyndy’s excellent communication and dog knowledge we were able to totally relax knowing our dog was in great hands. We can’t recommend her enough.”
“Sandie took great care of our 2 cats while we were away. We came back to happy, well-cared for cats as well as clean extra cat bowls and tidy litter boxes. Sandie sent lots of videos of our cats happily playing, which made us feel more relaxed while we were away. Would absolutely recommend Sandie.”
“Tania is a wonderful sitter, and I felt completely at ease leaving my boy Freddy in her care. She was reliable, communicative, and has a natural way of connecting with animals. She provided numerous regular updates and followed all instructions carefully. Whenever anything came up, she was quick to communicate and very solution- oriented, which I truly appreciated. Freddy was super comfortable with her and clearly well cared for throughout. I truly appreciate her consistency and thoughtful care. I will absolutely be booking Tania again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.”
“Maddie is such a great sitter. Her calm demeaner really made Murphy relax. Murphy has separation anxiety, but Maddie put her at ease and therefore put us at ease. Highly recommend!”
“Kendra s’est merveilleusement bien occupée de notre chat en notre absence : câlins, jeux, compte-rendu détaillé et photos à l’appui. Vous pouvez lui faire pleinement confiance pour s’occuper avec tendresse et attention de votre animal !”
About: Grown up having dogs at home all my life so far. My family and friends would always get me to dog sit their munchkins. I love walking and would love taking those munchkins for walks and have some playtime. Looked after all age group of pups and cats also looked after birds.Personally I simply cannot wait to have a pup of my own once i do settle in. I have always wanted to work for a pet store and did want to pursue carrier as a vet. Reliable, loyal, playful and lots of pampering are few other pointers about me. Back in India, I've not just had pups but also a variety of fish, turtles, birds and some reptiles.k Looking forward on working with you guys and an opportunity on interacting with your puppies. Thank you in advance for giving me an opportunity. I am a freelance Graphic designer so I'm pretty flexible with the days and timings. I usually like to maintain the routine that the pups are used to and follow them accordingly This is where the meet and greet comes in handy.having detailed information about the pup boarding in or coming in for day care helps making their stay/visit more comfortable. If there are more than 2pups involved, I make sure to take permissions from the parents before confirming they stay/visit. Lots of play time indoor, breaks and then walks.
“Sydney was lovely to work with again (this was the second time she cared for my cats while I was away, but I forgot to leave feedback last time). She arrived when she said she would, sent updates, and asked questions when needed. I will book her again next time I am in need!”

Michelle is a fabulous sitter for our playful and energetic orange cat. She is a great communicator who sends the cutest updates of each visit. You can tell she sincerely cares about the pets she sits. She asked lots of great questions when we first booked her, aiming to get to know our kitty and his demeanor as much as possible so that she could give him the care that best suited him. We feel so lucky to have found such a lovely sitter for our cat, allowing us to go away and not worry that he's going to be lonely or bored. We've continued to use Michelle since our initial booking, and will be doing so again many times!
Sarah was amazing with my cat! Usually after a long trip away he is noticeable anxious for the first couple days when I am back, but this was the first time he was completely fine. He’s also very nervous with new people and she made sure to give him the time and space to get comfortable with her. She gave great updates and pictures and let me know of any little changes she saw with him. Communication with her was excellent and very easy. I also appreciated her staying longer when she had the time and I know my cat appreciated the extra time as well!
Ali was fantastic! From our booking, to our meet and greet and finally our booked service days. Start to finish Ali made the whole process easy, worry free and straightforward. Ali was great with communication and gave our cat exceptional care and love! We would highly recommend her service and we look forward to Booking again.
Rachelle took excellent care of our 2 cats while we were on vacation :) Our cats are younger and have lots of energy for playing and Rachelle played with them so much! She also gave them all the cuddles and sent me lots of videos and photos every day. She also didn’t bat an eye at our very specific cat instructions 😹 for example, our cats are used to eating in specific spots in the kitchen and Rachelle made sure to feed them there and put any bowls w/ leftovers in the right spots after. Thank you Rachelle for taking such good care of our cats!
We are a repeat customer for Tara's visits to our Ragdoll cat Freddie and the experience has always been great, giving us ease of mind when away from home. Tara has been prompt and on time, reliable and careful and always providing lots of info and photos!
I hired Alexandra to watch my two cats while away on vacation. She quickly put my mind at ease with her detailed descriptions of her two daily visits. Alexandra took the time to tell me how both cats were feeling/ acting and what exactly she did with them. She was always puntual and sometimes spent extra time with them. My cats are my little family and it was so nice to not have to worry about them and just relax and enjoy my time away. Alexandra is a lovely, caring and responsible person. I will not hesitate to hire her again and highly recommend her.
I would recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and caring cat sitter. Michelle looked after my cat for three weeks while I was away and did an outstanding job. She is very responsive (usually responds within minutes), punctual, as well as personable and a great communicator. She put my mind at ease with daily photos and let me know when I received notices from building management. When a heat wave started in Toronto, she checked in about additional ways to keep the kitty cool. I came home to a happy and relaxed cat!
This was our second time booking Arisa and are just as happy and relieved that we found the perfect person to look after our kitty, Osha. She is an extremely anxious cat and the fact that she remembered Arisa and didn’t shy away or run away speaks volumes! We had so much peace of mind knowing Arisa was taking care of Osha and as usual, we came home to a happy kitty and extremely tidy home. Thanks again Arisa!
Thank you so much for caring for my kitty! Moinuk and Tania were great to communicate with, considerate and very proactive in thinking about potential challenges that may come up. They communicated daily which put me at ease while I was away. They are very much appreciated by my partner and I.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
