“She is very attentive and shows my cat so much love and attention!!!!! I know my cat is taken care of properly whenever she comes over. Will definitely be rebooking!!!”
“Nat was the absolute best. She showed up on time, and took the absolute best care of my kitties. She seemed to have liked them too so it was a win win! I would not hesitate to hire her services again. She also left my apartment in better condition than when I left for my vacation lol”
About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of all kinds of animals and pets! I’m currently in school for Veterinary Nursing, and I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to care for your pet! I understand the worry and anxiety that can come with leaving the care of your pet to a stranger and would make sure you’re always updated as fits your needs. I work part time currently while in school, and I actually am working towards making my clients here on Rover my full time job while in school! Currently, I will not be able to house any pets yet as I live in an apartment complex. I will be able to do walks and daily drop ins and hopefully expand to a house where dogs can stay and play! I do have the ability to do dog washes as well.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for 10+ years, from cats to giant dogs. I have two dogs of my own, and have had cats in the past, so I understand the individual needs of each animal. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. I’m currently working part time, 3 days a week! My schedule changes week to week, but I am open and flexible to changing my schedule! I can easily crate or move your dogs if I need to! I am eager to earn their trust and am willing to bribe them with treats. I understand each pet has different needs and I am adaptable to them!
“Id highly recommend Anna ! I appreciate how she kept in good contact about my cat during my vacation; and she maintained my apartment perfectly while I was gone. She gives off nothing but a positive vibe 🙂”
“Fantastic, seamless petsitting. Jack and Kate also helped us get packages in the house while we were out of town as well as took excellent care of our cat Sophie. We love these pet sitters!”
“Brittney did a great job watching my bearded dragon while I was away on vacation. Provides consistent updates with pictures and took great care of my pets. Will definitely rebook! :)”
“Margaret was absolutely wonderful with my cat Mario while I was away. She followed all instructions perfectly, kept everything clean, and made sure he was well-fed and comfortable. She was very communicative, super nice, and sent photos every day, which really helped since I was missing him. I could tell he was in great hands and I’ll definitely be asking her to watch him again! :)”
“I believe this is the fourth or fifth review I've given for Alexis and I'm sure I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but I love any chance I get to sing her praises! Alexis takes such good care of our little guy. She goes the extra mile with communication and is happily proactive/takes steps we didn't even expect her to take (e.g. giving our cat a brush, etc.)! We love the pictures she sends and feel confident leaving our baby with her. You can tell she loves animals and is so good with them. Will continue to use her services as long as we are able! 🥰”
About: I’ve always had pets in my home, whether they’re cats, dogs, or even guinea pigs! I’ve always had a love for pets and animals and it has progressed even more into adulthood! I’m currently doing online for college, and I work part time as a server at nights 3-5 times a week. So I will have plenty of time to stop by for your pets! At my house I have a fenced in yard because we have a dog. I also have a crate in my home and lots of toys for cats and dogs!
“Linda provided excellent care for my cat while I was away and was very good about sending photos and videos. I will definitely hire Linda again to check in on my cat.”
“Theresa was so great with our two cats, one being a new kitten. She was incredibly responsive and even came over a few days before she was scheduled to walk around the house and let me show her where things were. Will definitely be using Theresa again if needed!”
“Candy took great care of our two elderly pups while we were on vacation. She was reliable, on time, gave updates regularly, and had great communication. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our pups. My pups need some extra care in their senior years and Candy handled everything from medication to doggy diapers. I will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Morgan. I’m a first time River yer, and the service given was just as promised. Morgan provided excellent care to my two cats. I will book her for cat care again.”
“Leah was absolutely incredible. She stayed with our babies while we were gone for 4 days. No doubt we will have her watch them again. She’s truth worthy and kept us updated. 10000000/10”

Brittney was awesome again! This is the second time we have had her take care of our cats while on vacation. She makes sure on each visit to clean boxes, refill food/water bowls and give one of them medication. Brittney is very dependable and I would highly recommend her for your pets.

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 .
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.
