“Robin was nothing but helpful and communicative! She was great about sending pictures and updates about my cats, and I especially appreciate how patient she was with my more shy/fearful cat.”
About: Hi, I’m Anna! I’ve loved cats for as long as I can remember and have always enjoyed caring for them. I’ve taken care of neighborhood cats, strays, and family and friends’ pets over the years. I’m comfortable with all types of cats and love getting to know each cat’s unique personality and needs. I also have a sweet 3-year-old black cat of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet while you’re away. I’ll make sure your cat gets plenty of attention, playtime, care, and affection while you’re gone. I work remotely, which gives me plenty of flexibility and allows me to spend a lot of time with the cats I care for. I’m available throughout the week with flexible hours, so I can work around your cat’s usual feeding, play, and care routine. I’m happy to give them plenty of attention while also respecting their space if they prefer a quieter visit. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone with your pet and your home. I’m a cat owner myself and always make sure the environment is clean, secure, and safe. I understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to read their behavior, respect their boundaries, and let them warm up to me at their own pace. My goal is for your cat to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I am a rescue mom. Every other week, I volunteer my time to the local animal rescue helping unload donated dog and cat food from Chewy! Pet care fits naturally into my day—I’m a doctoral student with a flexible schedule, so I’m home often and able to give pets steady attention between classes and study time. I have my own 5 year old dog I take care of every day and am accustomed to a dogs routine! I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly dog to keep your dog company. When I am not home, my partner usually is!
“Having Jennifer drop by to check in on our boys has been a huge relief during our travel! We appreciated the messages about the visits and they looked really happy and comfortable in the photos shared. It was nice to see our cats happy while away. Thanks again Jennifer!!”
“This is our second time having Sam watch our kitties. Sam is thoroughly detailed in each of her visit recaps, we never have to wonder what our kiddos are up to or how they are doing! She brings a great peace to our trips!”
“Never regret booking Monica!! She does an incredible job and goes above and beyond to make sure our kitty is well taken care of and feels loved while we’re out of town ❤️”
“Crystal was amazing. One of my cats never comes out of hiding when I have guests, but he came out everyday for her and he even let her pet him. She sent me pictures each day. I will book her again.”
“gianna was amazing!!! she watched & fed my cats for a few days and i can’t be happier! i got so many cute pictures while i was away and updates every visit! i will be hiring again when i need someone. thank you!!!”
“Elle was great with our 2 cats while we were gone! One doesn’t require much special attention, but the other is a grumpy old diabetic man. We appreciated her love and attention for both while we were gone :)”
“Patrick was fantastic. Communicative and dependable. He went the extra mile to conduct a meet and greet prior to our scheduled visits which helped establish trust and protocols. Sent me photos of our kitties every day and seems like he genuinely cares for the animals. Highly recommended!”
“My cat, Raven, is a senior girl who is slowing down. Wendy took great care of her which gave me peace of mind while I was out of town. Raven greeted me with a purr when I got home. Thanks for taking such good care of Raven! 😻”
About: As long as I can remember I’ve always had a passion for all animals. Growing up and still to this day I have always brought stray animals home to love on and care for. I recently started promoting myself as a pet sitter/dog walker and now I have a few clients that have hired me. My availability is very flexible. I am looking for long-term set schedules but I am willing and able to do short-term as well if need be. I have a house which is in a subdivision which makes it nice for long walks. We also have a fenced in backyard for a running around.
“Haley is wonderful in helping take care of our 3 month old puppy while we are at work! She sends thorough updates and makes us feel very comfortable that our puppy is in good hands. She does a really good job redirecting and teaching him. We are first time pet owners and are very grateful for her help and experience! Highly recommend her!”
“Cozette was wonderful! Diesel was very happy when we returned and she checked on things for us around the house as well. She sent me awesome updates and made sure diesel had everything he needed! We will definitely be using Cozette again!”
About: I have grown up with and lived with pets (dogs and cats) my entire life. For over a decade I have volunteered and fostered animals through a local animal rescue. I have passed on my love for animals to my 15-year-old daughter, Piper. She started sitting for neighboring pets three years ago. Together we would love to meet you and your furry family and provide you with outstanding pet-sitting services. Pets are not just animals, they are family. And many times, we love them more than our human family and they should be treated as such. Thank you for your consideration of our services. I work from home full time and have a fenced in yard. Working from home allows me nearly constant access to care for your dog's every need during their stay with us. Also, my schedule flexibility is perfect for midday drop-in visits and walks as needed. Piper also has availability during evenings and weekends to provide extra snuggles and play time with your furry family members. Our backyard fence is a 4' aluminum fence with custom picket spacing of 2.25" which is perfect for accommodating smaller dogs and puppies. We also have a variety of crates available if your pup prefers their own safe space. We own two small dogs (Yorkie mix and a Maltese) that are very accustomed to strange dogs (fosters and occasional overnight guests) coming through our home. And Piper, who has her own neighborhood pet/house/child sitting service, is usually available to give your fur baby extra snuggles and attention as well.
“Allyson is an excellent dog sitter! She’s been wonderful with my YorkiePoo, Jamaica, while I work from home. She keeps him active and entertained throughout their time together, and it’s clear he genuinely enjoys her company. Jamaica always seems happy and well-exercised after their walks. I really appreciate how engaged and attentive she is with him. Highly recommend Allyson if you’re looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
About: I am third year medical student, and I absolutely love dogs of all kinds. Your dog will be treated like family if he or she is with me. I am an avid runner, and I am happy to take your dog for a run, to the beach, to play frisbee or sit home with your dog with lots of cuddles. Dogs are always welcome and in fact encouraged to join me on the couch or the bed. If you wish, I will give your dogs lots of treats, but only with your permission :). I have cared for numerous dogs, including disabled dogs,- one had back injury that prevented her from jumping and climbing and another was blind and deaf. The dog in my profile picture is my college's emotional support dog. I took her for near daily walks and around campus to visit students and attend campus events. I am happy to take your dog out in the community, and show it off proudly, treating him/her as if he/she is my own dog. I have a dog loving roommate and lots of dog loving friends, meaning there will be no shortage of cuddles for your "fur-baby"

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Chapel Hill
Brittany was amazing with our new kitten!! I was nervous to leave her since we had just adopted her, but Brittany made us feel completely comfortable knowing she was in great hands. She was very communicative and sent us adorable pictures and updates while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind! We’re so grateful we found her on such short notice and would absolutely book with her again!
Robin was amazing with Misty! She was reliable, attentive, and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. Most importantly, Misty was comfortable with her, which means a lot to us. We loved the updates and photos, and it was clear she was well cared for. We will absolutely book Robin again. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lexus was absolutely fantastic with our cats! She kept our social cat entertained during her visits and engaged as much as possible with our shy cat too. She sent us lots of photos, so we felt better knowing our cats were happy while we were away! It’s great coming back to full food bowls, clean water bowls and clean litter boxes after a weekend away. We’ll definitely rebook next time we go out of town. Thank you, Lexus!!!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
