“Rilee was nothing short of exceptional in the care she gave our elderly cat. Rilee was kind and warm, easy to talk to, and truly cared. Our cat has a complex medication regimen that includes oral medication twice a day. Rilee handled this with confidence and was able to put our cat at ease and get all of his medications in. We highly recommend her!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Karein. Our cat is quite shy and typically hides from new people, but she was incredibly patient and thoughtful in her approach, doing her best to help him feel comfortable without ever pushing too hard. She was consistently reliable and showed up exactly at the times she said she would. She took great care of the basics—feeding him on schedule and making sure his water was always fresh and full. It was very reassuring to know he was in such capable and caring hands while we were away. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and attentive cat sitter.”
About: I worked as a veterinary technician for 2 years in NY and interned at the Staten Island Zoo for 3 years while studying in college. I’m currently working night shift (6pm-6am) on a rotating schedule. Because I work 12hr shifts I have extra days off to check in on your animal while you are away. I am attentive to your dog’s needs and encourage direction or feedback of how to care for your dog. Whether I’m needed for a long walk or to house sit while you’re away, I’ll make sure your dog feels in good hands. I’m also more than happy to send updated pictures of your dog so you don’t miss them too much.
“Catherine was great with our kitties. Very affectionate and kept us up to date. She also shoveled a bit to clear snow from the stairs and spread some salt for us which was much appreciated!”
“Philip watched my cat while we were away. He arrived on time and communicated effectively. He followed all the instructions thoroughly and made us feel like our cat was in safe hands.”
About: I am a veterinary technician with 9 years experience in the field. I am confident in my skills with animals of all breeds and sizes I have plenty of time to spend with your 4 legged friends when you are not available to be there for them. Making them feel loved in the way you would I spend as much time as needed with your pet and in case of an emergency I have access to medical help for your pets immediately
About: Hello there! I am a full-time musician and a major dog-lover. I have a 5 year old rescue Australian Cattle Dog mix. I love to play, walk and run with furry friends and make music with them (This is quite an entertaining activity for both of us, and a great way to keep them busy). Most of my experience has been in dog-walking, but I'm also a babysitter and love caring for kids. I have a 1 year old who is the joy of my life! I am available for one-time help with your fluffy friend as well as regular help since my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. I am quick on my feet and great at tidying up after dogs and tiny humans, and can be very firm with pups if necessary. Happy to speak more in person! I’m currently working part-time and mostly on weekends since I’m a musician, so I have quite a bit of time during the week to drop in, feed and walk your furry friends I have a fenced in backyard and an extra crate for pups that I’m boarding, but also make sure that when I’m house-sitting, your fur baby has water, a clean crate and whatever else they need
About: I’ve had cats since I was 8 years old. With the 16 years of experience with cats, I believe every fur baby needs a home away from home. Like with every pet parent, I strive for the best with my cat. If you choose me to watch your fur baby, I will provide the best and safest environment for them. Do they need a room to themselves? You got it. Has explosive diarrhea? I have cleaning supplies. Medical issues? Another way to keep me on my toes. I hope you consider me as a prospective aunt to your kitter cat or doggo and can’t wait to fill up my camera role with adorable pictures. I look forward to hearing from you 💕 I am a grad student at Brandeis University. My classes are usually over by 2 pm, so after then I’m usually at my apartment caring for my cat and completing schoolwork. So needless to say, I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule for your pets individual needs. If I am doing home visits, I would like to visit the clients home a day or two prior to the arranged visit(s) to understand the animals needs and to see if we would be a good fit. I believe it is important to establish an understanding with the animal in question before I frequent the premises so there isn’t any unnecessary stress for your pet. In regards to boarding, I have a medium sized apartment that would be good for any cat or small-medium dog. There are multiple grassy areas for bathroom breaks and walks around the premises. You will have to provide me with your animals usual schedule (times for bathroom breaks, when and how much time are committed to walks, feeding times, etc.) so I can build my set around them and their needs
About: I'm a veteran providing daycare and boarding, depending on the dog and owner, is generally filled with canine adventures including hikes in a forest and hills, and in the summer, play in dog friendly areas with might even include a pool party and ice cream social! Given the right environment and only with your permission, this can include off-leash time. Pickup and drop-off is almost always available. The quoted price is for a 15 mile range. Extra if farther. ----- Since I was 4, I've been caring for all kinds of animals, especially dogs. At one time as a kid, we had 4 Great Danes! I've had mixed breeds and purebreds, athletes and couch potatoes, puppies, seniors, and special needs. I've also trained them although I've never been certified. Something common that friends say after their dog has spent a week or more with me is "how come my dog is now better behaved?" Your neighborhood or mine, the local park, the dog park, or on dog friendly trails. One dog or many. Having had all kinds of pets, including a 23 year old cat who required daily fluids and Miralax because of kidney failure and old cat dry colon, a dog that suffered seizures, and others. I even had a big 7 pound black and white adult rabbit that I found dumped in the state forest; she was litter box trained, had the run of the house, used the big dog crate as her private home, and would take turns playing with and chasing the 93 pound dog. I've just always seemed to understand dogs in particular and vice versa. The same is usually true with other animals too. I even enjoy caring for dogs that are hyper! Just let me know first in case I've got low energy dogs with me. What you can expect: Boarding and daycare are usually canine adventure time with me. Assuming your pooch is up for it, they'll accompany us on an adventure where they usually be able to play with other dogs, swim, and go on hikes. When the weather doesn't cooperate, that usually means pack walks somewhere like Lowes or somewhere else inside. If your dog tends to be stressed around other dogs and not well socialized, they'll have fun, learn that they are safe and can enjoy themselves while learning to be social and resilient. This is also great for improving their fitness and overall health. I work remotely, set my schedule, and nothing makes me happier that being with and doing things with dogs. Dog park? Trails? It's field trip and adventure time, if your beast is up for it. Play dates? Why not! Up for playing with my dog who is vaccinated for probably everything and wants to chase and be chased? Not a problem. Special needs or a senior? Just let me know. I have a fenced yard and a happy, boisterous 6 year old, 57 pound dog who adjusts his play style to what other dogs like. If he's too much for your dog, he takes correction from them, no problem, or I can put them in different places. He even lets little dogs beat him up without protest and if your dog likes rough play, he'll accomodate. He's happy and loves people and dogs. He has zero resource guarding issues; if your's does, he'll give them space.
“Thomas provided excellent care for my cat. He was very responsive, responsible and caring and followed my instructions. I appreciate the time and effort he made to interact and play with my cat to keep him active. The daily updates and photos were reassuring that all was well.”
“J spent time learning about each cat before staying overnight with them. In addition to our very social cat Squeaky, she connected with our shy cats on her first visit. J also gave our senior cat Marmalade two medications. I highly recommend for overnight pet care.”
About: Hello! I’m Liz, a K-1 teacher with a passion for understanding the unique, non-verbal personalities of our beloved pets. With extensive personal experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish, I know that animal communication is all in the details—from a swish of a tail to a specific reptilian posture. I am responsible, nurturing, and looking to fill my extra time by providing capable, knowledgeable care for your "fur kids." Whether it’s high-energy dog walking or keeping your scaled/finned friends on their specific schedules, your pets will be safe, loved, and thoroughly engaged. I am currently working as a teacher in the afternoon and have morning and evening availability M-F for dog walking, daily check-in's, house sitting and more. As a K-1 teacher, I specialize in "reading the room" and picking up on non-verbal cues, a skill that allows me to provide an exceptional level of observant, intuitive care for your pets. My approach is rooted in safety and structured communication; I don’t just "stop by," but instead actively monitor body language—from a cat’s tail swish to a reptile’s posture—to ensure every animal is thriving. You can expect detailed updates after every visit regarding behavior, appetite, and health, giving you total peace of mind while you're away. Whether I’m double-checking heat and humidity settings for your exotic pets or maintaining hyper-vigilance during dog walks, I treat your home and "fur kids" with the highest level of professional responsibility, ensuring your space is secure and your pets feel safe, seen, and loved.
“Hannah was an amazing sitter for our senior cat! I loved the daily updates and accompanying photos. I was very much at ease knowing Hannah was so helpful and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”
“Sydney was so great! She fit us in to a busy holiday weekend last minute and was very communicative about our two cats--she even cleaned up some vomit (yuck!) and tracked our nervous cats to their hiding places to get pictures for us. Would def recommend!”
“Sara came to our rescue at the last minute. We were grateful that she could accommodate our requests. Daisy seemed to enjoy her time with Sara and the new ball. We will have her back another time.”
About: As much as I love playing with puppies I have a fondness for senior dogs. I have spent more time caring for senior dogs and enjoy being around them. I worked nights and was always available for vet appointments. My dog Nicholas went to aquatherapy often and my Pug did acupuncture. I have cared for dogs needing meds, diaper changes, extra lifts, & short walks that required a long time. I often had dogs that needed fresh or homemade food and lots of treats & love. Being retired I am often home working on projects. I also am fortunate to have friends all over the country. I go to their homes and care for their pets while they vacation. I currently have no pets. I live 50ft to the paths along the Charles River. It is a great place to walk dogs. We come upon small wildlife, other dogs and lots of joggers. Some dogs still get excited need some training and treats. I have spent hours out there sitting with pets.
About: I am experience with caring for several types of dogs and cats in size and breed. I have cared for multiple dogs at the same time and meeting their needs at any age. My greatest strength is my patience and my willingness to communicate with your pets to ensure a working relationship that is based on love and care. I work remotely at home, and I am happy to take breaks to care for pets in between my work. I am flexible with early morning walks to late evening strolls. I love walking through parks and working at pet friendly cafes. I am transparent with my work. Working at clients home is something I understand that must be rooted in trust and care. I respect people's property and schedule to the best of my ability. I am actively aware of the need for communication, and I place that trait above all.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Carlisle
Luanne and Allan went above and beyond in caring for my curious little cat. This was my first time leaving my cat behind for 4 days. She did great under Luanne and Allan's supervision. They kept her stress-free and us too. Now I know my cat has found two trustworthy friends for life.
She was amazing with my babies! One of my cats are really old, blind and on medication. She made sure he had his meds on time, ate his food and was comfortable. My second one is much younger and she played with her and sent me videos and pictures of them while we were gone! I definitely will be booking with her again.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
