“Highly recommend Kat! She took care of our two cats expertly for 6 days. One of our cats takes an inhaler for asthma as well as oral medication, and Kat was able to provide that without any issues which is so important to us. She spent quality time with them and kept us informed of anything that came up throughout our trip. She is very trustworthy and has a very nice and caring personality. Thanks, Kat!”
“Kimberly was great! Communicative, responsible and kind. I felt totally at peace when we were away and the kitties were calm and everything was in order when we got home. Will use her again.”
“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our two pups during the daily visits. Lindsey even offers to stay longer than requested to keep the pups company!”
“Your pets and home are in great hands with Mackenzie! As a first time client, we appreciated the meet and greet visit, where Mackenzie asked questions and ran through the cats routine, our preferences and expectations, and took thorough notes. Our babies LOVED her and we had such peace of mind knowing they were in her care while we were away. Per our request, Mackenzie provided daily updates and pictures of the happy kitties. We hope to have her again!”
“Arian is such a great cat lover and caretaker!! I felt completely at ease leaving her my keys for drop ins to my place, and from the looks of the photos and videos my cats will honestly miss her once I’m home! Fantastic experience.”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs. I have a fenced back yard and love getting outside to take dogs on a walk and/or potty break. I stay very active, so I can accommodate all types of dogs ranging from high energy, to older dogs who love relaxing on a cozy blanket on the couch. I have one small dog that loves to play with other dogs. As a teenager and young adult I watched professionals train dogs and I cared for them as well. Like most of us, I went through puppy preschool with the the first dog I owned too. I can accommodate small and medium sized dogs. They will need to be potty trained. I would love to put your mind at ease and give your dog a safe, happy, and loving experience! Please let me know if you have any questions. I work from home full time. This allows me the flexibility to give your dog lots of potty breaks, walks, love, and attention! Please let me know what your dog’s schedule is like at home and I will accommodate that for you. I have a fenced backyard. Dogs are allowed on the furniture, so they can feel right at home. My goal is to make them as comfortable as possible during their stay.
About: I absolutely love dogs. I have 20 years of experience taking care of dogs and animals. We've always had a dog in the house. I recently bought my first home and have an Australian shepherd, Hazel, and Catahoula, Sunny, that I absolutely adore! I have Hazel involved in obedience and agility. I love to go on hikes with my dogs, to the dog park on the sandy river, or even a walk to the school park down the street to play some fetch. My parents live on a farm in Boring and I frequently visit there to let my dog run around and play. I love dogs so much, so I thought, why not be a dog sitter doing what I absolutely LOVE doing? I know a lot about training dogs and have taken a few courses to increase my knowledge. I will be able to help with teaching basic commands and socialization skills for your dog(s).
“Sydney was great during an overnight stay with our cat! She was attentive and I could tell she was really looking out for his needs. When he became a bit antisocial and cried during the night, Sydney didn’t hesitate to reach out and see if there was anything else she could do to make him feel comfortable. Her energy definitely aligned with our cat’s and he got along with her great. Thanks Sydney!”
About: I have taken care of 4 dogs at once. 3 big, 1 small. They required a lot of attention. I also had to give medication to 2 of the dogs. I enjoy spending time with dogs and fitting to their needs I am in college. I have a class on monday in person for about 2 hours but besides that all my other classes are online so I am always free. I am able to spent the night at peoples houses and change my schedules to fit the dogs needs. I am able to do anything that fits the owners needs. I make sure to watch the dogs often and give them attention they need.
About: I have been walking dogs and pet sitting since i was 12. I would be happy to take your pets on hikes, to the dog park, or just a quick walk if that’s what’s needed. All animals have their own personalities and i wanna get to know both you and your pets. My main goal is to try and keep things as close to their natural routines as possible so they are happy and comfortable! I have 2 pets of my own a 8 y/o black lab, red bone coonhound mix and a 1 y/o orange tabby cat! I know that they really on me and I always try to put their needs first. I will always try and keep your home as it was left if not better! If I am house sitting i am happy to do some additional light cleaning if needed.
“Colin was phenomenal at taking care of our pup! He left detailed notes that gave us great updates and peace of mind that our dog was well cared for. Colin took our dog out for a walk, even when not necessary, to give her extra attention and stimulation. We came back to one happy dog and safe home!”
“I was nervous about finding a new pet sitter after ours retired. We have 4 cats, who can be a handful, and have weird feeding issues. I shouldn't have been nervous because Megan did great! We will be confidentially using 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.

Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 .
