“I was so glad Jessica and Anthony were able to come take care of Maggi! They were great communicators from the start and throughout the booking and very open about their availability. I appreciated the comments and photos that let me see how well my cat was doing. I would hire them again without hesitation!”
“Cats were happy and healthy when we got home, bowls of water and food were full :) Litter looked to be done and one of the cats had medication, which she successfully gave! I would rebook with her again :)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - St. John's
This was my third time booking Jessica and Anthony for cat sitting, and I really appreciate their detailed messages and the time that they spend taking care of Maggi. They even brought him a new wand toy when his broke, which was so thoughtful. I look forward to using their services again in the future and I can tell my cat loves them too.
Molly was so great with my two kitties while I was away. After having some not great experiences with cat sitters, she completely put me (and the kitties) at ease with her daily updates, easy communication, and lots of photos. I asked if she could drop in a little earlier as my kitties were used to this routine, and she had absolutely no problem with it and was there for all of their needs. Even my shy kitty warmed up to her in just a few days. I will definitely be using her service again in the future and highly recommend her!
Julia did a wonderful job looking after my cat Maggi while I was travelling for work. I really appreciated her daily updates, videos and pictures. When I came home after four days away, I could tell that my cat had been looked after well. I hope to work with Julia again soon!
Elijah provided exceptional care to my cat while I was away for a few days. He kept me updated throughout and was able to administer his medication effectively. Communication was exceptional and I truly felt that my cat was well looked after. Could not recommend Elijah enough!!

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.
