“Our second time having Amanda care for our two cats went perfectly! We loved the thorough update + cat photos detailing her drop-in visit and greatly appreciated Amanda's expertise in administering pet medication as one of our cats has required pills both times we've been out of town. Both of our temperamental fur babies have taken to Amanda so quickly and my partner and I couldn't be happier! 🥳”

“Absolute best sitter I’ve ever had since I got a pet for the first time a few years ago. Apart from the basics - which of course she took excellent care of my cats and followed instructions perfectly - she went way above and beyond what was expected. She washed the dishes in my sink which I obviously never asked for, and took care of my cats’ water bowls even though I’d filled them already but I’d forgotten to mention it to her. If available, for future vacation needs I’m absolutely only booking her, and highly recommend her to everyone reading these reviews.”
“Blake was an amazing sitter for my cat when I was away for 1.5 months! He made sure to play with Gigi, check her litter box and water. He was a fantastic sitter and I would definitely book with him and Carly again! If I could give 100 stars I would! Don’t hesitate to book with them if you need a great pet sitter.”
“Jessica was trustworthy and took good care to feed my cats on time and play with them. However, one of my cats’ litter box wasn’t cleaned in what looked like 2-3 days at least. Despite having discussed that it was to be done daily. Luckily my cat is fine but this was a hygiene and safety issue that could’ve made her sick and stressed. Overall a good experience but this litter issue was not acceptable.”
About: I’m currently a mom of a 13 year old Persian cat but ever since I was young, I grew up around dogs of all ages, having even assisted several of my dogs in childbirth. I work full time during weekdays but have all the time after work during the afternoon and evenings. Additionally, working from home once a week gives me flexibility in accepting requests during the day. Weekends are usually wide open. I may not have the capacity to care for other pets in my home (my little lady will not allow it!) but I’m more than capable of doing so in a client’s home. It’s really just all about maintaining cleanliness and not overstepping any boundaries.
About: My current dog is an anxious senior rescue-dog with a growing list of medical conditions. Loving her has taught me so much, and I hope that I can earn the trust of you and your dog just as I earned hers! My most recent pet care experience revolves around aging & disabled dogs and cats, but I've also cared for plenty of healthy & energetic adults and seniors too. I've had dogs my entire life, and I've lived with family members' & roommates' cats for most of my life too. Specific dog experience includes: -Service dogs, rescue dogs, dogs with anxiety, dogs with significant medical conditions, seniors, puppies, healthy adults. -Breeds: Formosan Mountain Dogs, Shepherd-husky mixes, Labs, Scotties, Westies, and mixed breeds. I work as an RMT, mostly on weekday afternoons and evenings. I'm available 9am-12pm on Thursday and Friday, and often all day on Wednesdays. I am sometimes available for weekends as well. My dog and I live in an apartment building. We take a few walks per day and make sure to do enriching activities and play time. When I pet sit at the owner's home (such as on of my friends or family members), I follow their instructions and keep their pet company as if they were my own.
“I felt great vibes when I met Yasmin. She seemed calm, and capable. Yasmin was punctual and a great communicator. Sent me lots of pictures and videos of my cats - They loved her as well! Really glad I booked with her, and I will do so again in the future.”
“Hee Jae was wonderful and took great care of my cat. She remembered and followed all of the instructions I had given her, which I really appreciated. During each visit, she took time-lapse videos and sent me lots of videos and updates, so I could feel at ease while I was away from home. I especially loved being able to see videos of my cat whenever I missed him. She was also very punctual, easy to communicate with, and always open and responsive, which made me feel that I could really trust her. I would definitely recommend Hee Jae to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Raissa took care of our 2 babies during a month long trip, and she was beyond excellent! She would always arrive on time for the visits and let me know how the cats were on that day, along with always sending adorable pictures. She was flexible when I needed a last minute visit and followed all my care instructions. I’m sure my boys loved her as much as me! I would rely on Raissa when I travel again.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care, patience, and attention I give every pet. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with the same love and respect I'd want for my own. I also have experience caring for pets with special needs. Two of my family dogs were diabetic, so I'm familiar with maintaining consistent routines, monitoring their well-being, and understanding the importance of following care instructions carefully. I've also cared for a cat with digestive issues, ensuring they received the proper food and routine to keep them comfortable and healthy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work part-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. My schedule allows me to adapt to your pet's routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening cuddles, or overnight care. I'm an early riser as well. I provide fresh food and water, regular walks and playtime, lots of affection, and I'm happy to administer medications or follow specific feeding routines if needed. Having cared for diabetic dogs and a cat with digestive issues, I understand the importance of consistency and paying close attention to a pet's health and behavior.
“Angelina wsa great with my cat Percy. I received lots of picture of him and it was clear Angeina interacted with Percy and gave him all the loving he craved. Angelina was also good at asking questions while I was away if she needed any additional information. I will definately be caling on Angelina again.”
“Kai is very responsible, kind, and they pay attention to detail. Hana loves their presence and trusts their energy almost immediately, even if she’s always a little shy. This time when I travelled, Hana didn’t adapt to the separation very well and had FLUTD, Kai followed the instructions to words and took Hana to the ER. They waited the entire time there and helped me go through the vet consultation with video calls. Afterwards they also helped with feeding medication for Hana. It was going to be extremely difficult situation, but with Kai’s patience, everything was handled with care, and that eased my concerns so much while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Kai as a sitter.”
“My cat liked Leilani right away. Leilani was able to trim Darla's claws, which Darla rarely lets people do. All round a good experience. I will definitely hire Leilani again.”
“We are so happy with Natalie's house sitting! We were concerned about finding care for our 2 week vacation when our normal sitter was not available. Luckily our stress was all taken away because Natalie did such a fantastic job looking after our two cats. She gave us regular updates and was able to administer an inhaler every day to our cat with asthma. Our cats were happy and relaxed when we returned and our home was very clean. Would not hesitate to book again.”
“Gisselle came for drop ins during a vacation. She took good care of my cat, making sure that he's fed, has enough water, has a clean litterbox, gets playtime etc. Gisselle also made sure to communicate with me regularly thoughout her visits, which I appreciated.”
“Diana took very good care of my cat while I took a vacation. She communicated with me everyday so I knew “my boy” was doing well. Definitely would book her again. I just need to plan another trip!”

Jin was great taking care of my two cats. Oscar, who will hide for days on end from people he already knows, came out the first day and even let her pet him for upwards of five seconds! Which is completely unheard of for him. Harvey was in absolute heaven with lots of belly rubs and play time. Jin was very responsive and provided lots of updates. She made handing off keys a breeze. Definitely would bring her back the next time I go out of town.
Jen did an A1 job with Trooper. She was there everyday and looked in him. She emptied the Litter box, gave him new food and fresh water. It took a few days for Trooper to come out to see her but once he decided to come out they made great friends together. She sent some nice videos and photos of my little fellow. I have. never left him alone before and I don't go away too often so having her there to look after Trooper and look in on my home every day that I was gone was a godsend. I saw that she had many return bookings and I can see why. I will definitely try to book her again if I have to go away. Trooper likes her too and says hello. Thank you so much for helping us. All the best. Do hire her, you won't be disappointed!
Hayoung provided amazing drop-in service for my pet! She followed all the instructions thoroughly and sent me regular photo and video updates. Seeing how well my pet was cared for gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely be booking her service again in the future!
Cassandra was an excellent sitter for my Nellie. You can tell from the moment she meets your cat that she is a true professional. She clearly knows how to care for cats and was incredibly kind and thoughtful. She even came back to drop off the keys after I returned, so she could keep them in case my flight was delayed. I would definitely book her again the next time I'm away.
We were really grateful Jouvanni took our request at such short notice, and he did an excellent job taking care of our two cats for a week. I had left an essay's worth of instructions and where is what and he took it with grace and seemed to have no (or very little) issue finding things. Our boys were a little shy during the meet and greet but seemed to warm up to him quickly and enact their usual shenanigans during the week! Our building also has some rules around bikes, parking and guest etiquette and there were no issues on that end either! We will definitely keep Jouvanni in mind the next time we are away.
This was our first time leaving our cat alone for a vacation with a pet sitter so we were initially anxious, but we had a great experience with Erin! She was communicative, clear, and followed all our instructions very well. She did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, who seems to really like her. She was also very clean and respectful of our home, leaving everything tidy and did not leave any mess behind. Knowing that our cat was well cared for made being away much easier. We also really appreciated the daily photos and updates. :) Thank you so much!
We were so glad we chose Stella to care for our cat while we were on vacation. She truly went above and beyond, sending us regular pictures and videos and giving us peace of mind that he was well cared for. It was clear from the updates that our cat was happy and comfortable in her care. Stella is very trustworthy and responsive, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again. Highly recommended!
Another great Rover experience with Justine, she did a great job taking care of my kitties while I was away. I felt confident that they were safe and happy during her visits. I appreciate her reliability and good communication. I definitely recommend booking her to take care of your pets.

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.
