“Chelsea was such a great care taker of my 2 outdoor cats. She met with us before our booking. She even took care of a package while were away. Pictures were sent every day. Thank you Chelsea.”
“Kim-Elaine is an awesome sitter. It was my first experience with Rover and it was great! Kim-Elaine texted me photos of my dog while I was away and kept in touch with what Gizmo was doing and how she was doing. I will definitely ask for Kim-Elaine to sit again in the future. Thanks Kim-Elaine!!!”
“Casey is a spectacular sitter and I would definitely book her again. I appreciated her cleaning up after my Archie and giving him all the loves during my trip. She made my vacation stress-free!”
“Tayauna provided extraordinary services when caring for my cat, Lily Rose, while I was away on a trip. As many of us understand, it is not easy to be away from our beloved pets. Taya helped give me peace of mind through the daily updates and photos. She went above and beyond to provide the best care for Lily, and she blessed my heart as well. When returning, Lily was so happy and I believe the quality of attention and care that was given to her made all the difference. Thank you so much Taya! Lily is looking forward to spending time with again in the future, and I am beyond grateful to have a cat sitter who I can trust to do an excellent job. God bless you!”
“I am so grateful to have found Amy, and recommend her wholeheartedly! Leaving my girl as I travel far away is always hard, especially in the hands of a stranger. But Amy put me at ease right away, during our first meeting. I arrived back to a peaceful kitty and a calm home. I have no doubt that we will be hiring Amy again! Thank you!”

“Rachel took great care of our cat while we were out of town. She provided detailed updates, and she went above and beyond by bringing in a package that arrived instead of letting it sit outside. We will definitely rebook Rachel in the future.”
“10/10 EXPERIENCE! 🐾💕 Alake was absolutely AMAZING from start to finish! I genuinely could not have asked for a better sitter for my two girls! She went above and beyond, especially when it came to providing emotional support, patience, and reassurance for my pitty, who has been struggling with some anxiety. And somehow, she even managed to tame my wild child, Piggy, which is an accomplishment all on its own! 😂 What I appreciated most was the peace of mind she gave me while I was away. Being away from my girls can be stressful, but Alake made sure I felt comfortable, reassured, and confident that they were in loving hands. Her communication, compassion, and genuine care were everything I could have hoped for. She didn’t just take care of my dogs; she took care of my peace of mind, too. I am beyond grateful for her and would recommend her a thousand times over! I will absolutely be booking with her again! 💕🐶”

About: I have been pet sitting as long as I can remember. Cats, and dogs of all sizes. I also studied Zoology in college and have worked with animals for years. I'm currently working part-time so I can fit pet care into my weekly schedule. week days are wide open for dog walking, dog sitting or cat sitting. I have a dog, a cat, and a leopard gecko at home. I've got a small/medium sized fenced in backyard and 2 small dog crates.
About: I’ve never really known life without pets. Dogs and cats have been part of my household since I was a toddler. I've cared for a pretty wide range of personalities, breeds, ages, and energy levels.. I’ve also provided occasional pet sitting for friends and family, including walks, feeding routines, and basic grooming, and overnight care. I currently have two cats of my own, who are frequently spoiled. So I am also well-versed in cat care. In the past I’ve owned several other cats and dogs, including a Jack Russell Terrier, a Black Lab Retriever, and a Coonhound. I am conscientious about the pets in my care. I take the time to get to know the animals and follow their normal routine as much as possible. I can happily provide energetic walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. Whatever their particular needs and quirks, I will be attentive and affectionate with your pets while you are away. I am currently currently working from home part-time. My schedule is usually flexible, so I can accommodate the specific needs of your pets. I look forward to talking with you. I am very communicative with my clients. I want to you to be confident that your pet will be well cared for. I strictly follow my clients’ instructions and can send pictures and updates as often as requested.
About: I'm a professional pet sitter with 5 years of experience, offering house sitting and drop-in visits for all pets dogs, cats, small animals, you name it. I also work at a doggie daycare and boarding facility, which means a high level of knowledge in animal welfare–understanding behavior, body language, health, and stress signals to keep your pet safe and happy. I'm experienced with medical needs and reactive dogs, so whether your pup needs a little extra patience or your cat needs meds on schedule, you're in good hands. I love all animals. High-energy? I'm your dog's new best friend the morning or playtime in the yard. Senior or laid-back? I'm happy to keep things calm and relaxed, maybe a slow stroll and some couch time. Whatever your pet needs, they're in good hands. Flexible availability, weekdays and weekends. I am currently in college and take classes online so I only work part-time. This gives me the opportunity to be with your pet. On days that I work I am at work for 4-5 hours. I'm comfortable taking care of both active and more laid-back dogs equally, adapting to their energy levels and needs. Whether it's a fun, energizing run for an active dog or simply a relaxing walk for a chill one, I'm happy to provide the right balance of exercise and care. I have a lot of experience with medical needs, weather it's a simple pill/shot daily or getting a puppy to sitting still for eye drops I have done it all.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Chesapeake
Jordan was fantastic!! She sent many photos each visit and was flexible and happy to work with me on my crazy last minute schedule changes and trip with limited cell service. She took great care of my cat and the outdoor stray cat and my cat loved her, which isn't always the case with new people!!
Tyler was great! This was my first time using Rover, and Tyler helped walk me through the process. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing that my cat was in good hands. He was patient with my very shy cat and took great care of her, and I came home to a safe, healthy, happy cat! Would definitely book with Tyler again.
McKayla did a great job caring for my community cat, made sure the food was put out, sent helpful updates, and included pictures so I could see that everything was okay. I really appreciated her communication and reliability, especially since caring for a feral cat can be a little different than caring for an indoor pet. I would definitely recommend her and would book with her again.

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.

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.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
