“Maura was amazing with our cat whiskers. She kept me updated during my time away, and was easy to be reached when I need it. I would strongly recommend Maura to help you with your pets needs.”
“Katelyn was fantastic as always, giving me comfort knowing my Pumpkin is being watched over with care while away. She always goes the extra mile, ensuring any messes are cleaned as best as possible and making the return home easy. Thank you, Katelyn!”
About: I have cared for and loved pets of all kinds all of my life. Cats, dogs, goats, rabbits, lizards and a bird. I am responsible and respectful. With age comes dependability and maturity. Plus, animals love me. I'm retired so everyday is a Saturday. I travel in a converted Sprinter van, but only a few times a year. I'm available unless already booked. I'll be happy to take care of your dog in your home and walk them in/around your neighborhood. Do they like dog parks? That can be arranged, too.
“Helen did a fantastic job caring for our quirky crew of pets, including administering oral meds to our grumpy orange boy in a way that didn’t stress him out. It was a huge peace of mind to know our pets were getting lots of affection and attention while we were away.”
About: Your pet deserves more than a quick potty break. They deserve loving care that makes their day brighter! I have 20+ years of experience in pet sitting, animal rescue, and dog ownership. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and needs, from puppies and kittens to seniors, including ones with medical conditions. When I visit your pet, they’ll be treated like one of my own. I’ll tailor each visit to their needs and what makes them happy, whether that means adjusting the pace of their walk, playing their favorite game, or comforting them during a storm. Ear scratches and belly rubs are always included! After every visit, you’ll get a detailed update and pictures so you can see the little moments that made their day extra special. 💕 I specialize in weekday drop-in visits and walks, typically between 9am-3pm. You’ll receive detailed updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe. 💕 I carefully follow instructions, pay close attention to your pet’s needs, and tailor visits accordingly. My top priority is to keep your pet safe, healthy, and happy.
“Caitlin did a great job taking care of Bethany while I was away, and even got her to play a bit! Thanks for making sure I didn't have to worry while I was gone 😊”
“Mary does a wonderful job with Oliver my great orange tabby. He loves her especially when she plays with him and gives him treats. He’s always calm when I come home and is not at all stressed. Thanks Mary! We love you.❤️🐾”
“Thanks Jennifer for taking care of my cats during holiday season and snow season! Happy to see my cats all doing great after my two weeks vacation! They really like Jennifer!”
“Joseph and Christine are great! They are communicative, and I felt confident leaving my pet in their care. I certainly recommend them to other pet owners.”
“Thankfully we found Michaela. Dependable and caring about our needs. Our boy is shy and she followed his lead to make him comfortable. We will be rebooking with her for sure.”
About: I have had both dogs and cats growing up so I know how to care for both. I currently have 2 cats and 1 German Shepard. I work hybrid so I have a good amount of flexibility and ability to take dogs out walking or stop in to play and/or give medication. If you have any questions about my experience please reach out! I am on a hybrid schedule in sales so I am able to take breaks from work whenever I need to in order to take care of fur babies I am able to travel anywhere in the area and spend good chunks of time with the pet(s) each time. I love playing with animals with toys or give lots of pets and cuddles. I take tons of photos and share any/all updates with you!

Yet again, Renee made our trip a success by being such a caring, reliable pet sitter. She had to deal with a potential ear infection with one cat, workman doing a repair on the home, and the travellers needing help with paperwork. And is amazing and calming every single time!
Marcia is simply the best—there’s a reason we keep coming back to her again and again. Finding someone you trust with your pets (and your home) is no small thing, and with Marcia, that trust comes easily. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, and it shows in every interaction.
Jessica is great. I have two cats and one of them is very shy and the other one is outgoing. They both loved her and I loved that in one of Jessica’s pictures. She actually got a picture of my shy cat rubbing up against her.😻 my cats are very good at judging good people
Sherry took care of our little kitty INCREDIBLY! Our kitty was struggling with a sickness and needed some additional support with wiping her nose and Sherry was more than happy to take care of her needs and she gave us consistent updates on our kitty’s symptoms while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter 😊

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 .
