“Christina was reliable, communicative, and always on time for her daily visits. She took the time to understand all of our cats’ routines and care instructions, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. During each visit, she engaged with the cats, played with them, and made sure they were well cared for. We appreciated the updates and clear communication throughout. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable cat sitter.”
“Sheila was fantastic watching my two cats during a week vacation. She responded promptly to my last-minute request and she took amazing care of them. She provided detailed updates and photos for each visit. I could vacation in peace knowing all was well back home. Couldnt have asked for a better sitter!”
“Dennis was wonderful with Lucy! He asked lots of questions to make sure he had all the information he needed and was super communicative. We appreciate the fantastic photos he sent while they were playing in the backyard! We will certainly be booking with Dennis again :)”
About: Hi! I’m Katerina, a registered nurse with a lifelong love of animals. I grew up with dogs and have shared my home with cats for the past 15 years. Caring for animals has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. Sadly, I recently lost both of my beloved cats, and while my home feels a little quieter, I still have so much love and care to give. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or simply have a calm, reassuring presence nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I gave my own. As a registered nurse, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable following routines and administering medications if needed. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! Schedule I’m currently off work until mid-October, which means I have plenty of flexibility and availability for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks throughout the week. Whether you need last-minute care or are planning ahead, I’m happy to work with your schedule. After I return to work, I’ll continue offering pet care around my nursing schedule and will keep my Rover calendar up to date so you always know my availability. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they are part of the family. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand that pets are most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I take the time to let them warm up to me and respect their individual personalities. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and keep your home tidy and secure while you’re away. As a registered nurse, I’m detail-oriented, responsible, and comfortable following care plans and noticing small changes in behaviour or health. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe and loved.
“Dylan is flexible with scheduling and provides good communication during walks and drop ins. He's patient with my puppy, and has been helping to teach her to walk on leash. He's been a huge help with multiple daily visits while my pup's so young.”
“Outstanding service. The communication was excellent throughout the entire booking, and I always felt informed and at ease. My puppy is usually very skittish and anxious with new people, they approached her with patience, confidence, and a gentle demeanor that made all the difference. I’m extremely grateful and would absolutely book again.”
About: Hi there, my name is Dokyung but I go by Chloe. I understand that finding a sitter online could be a daunting task. So I strive to be as communicative and transparent as possible about and during my service. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns! To briefly describe my experience, I grew up with dogs of all sizes, from chihuahuas (they were a little crazy but I loved them dearly) to golden retrievers, since my parents often fostered dogs. Years of living with dogs of various sizes and personalities taught me to read body language closely, and I will bring that same attentiveness to every walk and play session with your pet. I’m also happy to help out with training during your pet’s stay, as I have experience clicker-training family dogs and also my own cat :) I work from home with flexible hours, so it's easy to fit pet care into my day alongside my own cat’s care routine. Please let me know if your pet has any specific needs. I’ll make that part of our routine! Cats boarding in my home get their own dedicated space until they're ready to explore and meet Nuri (my cat) on their own terms. Dogs will have the run of the place if they get along right away with Nuri, or mainly have the living room space if slow introduction is needed, with 4 regular walks throughout the day. All pets are welcome on any furniture. During drop-in visits, I'm happy to give them my full, undivided attention for the entire visit (if they want it, that is). I often bring my own treats and toys to play with them, if you would allow it.
“Morgan has been great with my 3 year old Staffordshire. She works on training and reactiveness while walking, and my pup is always tired after their time together. I’ll be continuing to book Morgan!”
“Nick did a great job taking care of my cat and dog for a week. Even with them not being used to being with a stranger for an extended period of time, they warmed up to him quickly and really enjoyed his company.”
“We feel so lucky to have found Morgan as our cat sitter! She is truly amazing — caring, reliable, and incredibly loving with our two boys. Every time we go away, we have full peace of mind knowing they’re in the best hands. Morgan goes above and beyond, always sending us the sweetest updates and photos, which we really appreciate. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats our cats like her own. We couldn’t ask for better care. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur babies!”
“Sanchita was so sweet with my cat and took great care of him. She made sure to tend to his needs such as refilling his water, gave him lots of cuddles, and played with him. She is very sweet and also very cooperative and accommodating of my requests. Thanks Sanchita!”
“Supada watched our two cats, both with unique dietary needs. She was so attentive with them and communicative with us. Would definitely have her watch them again in the future.”
“Amber recently came to check in on our cat while we were away. She provided daily communication and pictures which we so appreciated. We’ll definitely book with Amber again in the future!”

In our care, we prioritize creating a safe and loving environment for pets.

Morgan has been an amazing support for my husband and I whenever we need someone to care for our cat. She's very communicative through every visit, and it's always clear how much she cares for the pets in her care. We would recommend Morgan to anyone needing a pet sitter who truly cares.
Britney took very good care of Misha (our cat) when we were away! She was very professional, friendly and provided updates every visit with pics of our cat! She responded promptly to my messages. I would definitely get her help again when we go away. She was a pleasure to work with!! Thanks so much Britney!!
This was our 4th time working with Sue to take care of our two kitties, and it won't be the last! She is the best petsitter we have ever had. She is extremely caring, amazing with her communications and updates, and even went out of her way to make sure the cats were okay in hot weather. She is incredible!!!
Lisa took care of our cat Winston for us while we were away. He can be a very rambunctious cat and finding someone who was very clearly comfortable with cats like Lisa is was very important to us. We go lots of pictures and videos and we’re really able to enjoy our time away knowing he was in good hands!
Rachael was absolutely incredible! She stepped in to care for our pets during an unexpectedly long period while we dealt with surgery, and she went above and beyond in every way. Her flexibility, reliability, and genuine love for our cats gave us total peace of mind. It was clear our cats adored her, and that meant everything to us. We’re so grateful for her help and would recommend her without hesitation …truly outstanding!
I had an amazing experience with Dylan. He took exceptional care of my cat for almost three weeks, and I could immediately tell how well Balam had been looked after. Balam was calm, happy, and completely stress‑free when I returned — which says everything about the quality of care he received. My home was spotless, and Dylan even watered my plants without me asking, which was such a thoughtful surprise. He was respectful, attentive, and clearly very responsible. I truly appreciate the care and consideration he put into everything. I will definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommended

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.
