“Amazing experience! Our cats were immediately comfortable, communication was great, and we loved getting photo updates while we were away. Would absolutely recommend!”

“We love Grace & so does our Kitty. She is so accommodating, and knowing she is checking in with our fur-baby gives us such peace of mind. Use Grace & never look back. An angel on earth!”

“Amy did a fantastic job watching my cat, Abby, with multiple drop-in visits throughout the week. She was punctual and provided great pictures and communication. My apartment was left clean and tidy on my return. Will definitely ask Amy to cat-sit again!”

“Natali was wonderful with our kitties. We have a girl kitty with diabetes and Natalie followed my instructions to the letter to do her blood test and ensure she got her medicine properly. She also made sure to play with the kitties with their favorite toys and give them lots of pets. I will definitely hire her over and over again!”

“When my husband and I went on a 10-day trip, Jenn was wonderful with our two cats and gave me great peace of mind during such a long time away. Her reassuring messages and sweet photos were exactly what I needed to be able to fully enjoy our vacation! She's exceptionally responsive, very careful with details, and lovely to work with. I can't recommend her highly enough!”

“Samantha is the BEST!! She kept me informed of everything she did to care for my kitty including sending lots of pics! Very highly recommended! I plan using her as often as possible when I travel!”

“Peggy was wonderful. She is very professional and genuinely cares about animals and their wellbeing. She checked on our two cats over the holiday and sent us texts/photos daily so we knew they were okay. She even brought in packages and kept the litter box clean. Our shy boy even came out to greet her. We would definitely hire her again.”
About: I offer house and pet sitting, doggie daycare, and boarding services. I own two dogs and a Senegal parrot, and my experience with animals is extensive and varied, having cared for many different types throughout my life. I am passionate about animals and have a flexible daily schedule, along with reliable transportation. To ease your mind during your absence, I can provide regular photo updates of your pets, ensuring they are well cared for. Working from home allows me the flexibility to take pets outside for frequent bathroom breaks every 2-3 hours and for brief walks during the day. Daytime drop-offs for sitting can be arranged from 7 AM onwards. My backyard is securely fenced and my two small dogs are very sociable and welcoming to guests. I work from home on the computer and have the flexibility to provide outside trips and short walks throughout the day. I can accept day sitting drop offs anytime after 7AM. 🌳🌲🌳I have a big fenced back yard and 2 very friendly small dogs. We spend a lot of time outside working on the yard. The dogs enjoy chipmunk and squirrel hunting, and relaxing on the back patio. When we are inside, the dogs have prime squirrel watching on the couch under the big front picture window.
“Cecil was great! Our three cats are trouble makers but Cecil made it so that we didn’t have to worry about them while my husband and I were on our honeymoon! Will definitely be booking with Cecil in the future (:”

“Shanna was fantastic! She helped our kitty adjust to the new environment when he was having a rough time and was very supportive with updates since we were out of the country on vacation. She sent us many photos and videos with daily updates while we were away. Could not recommend her more!! 😊”

About: A big part of my childhood was spent caring for pets—though not all at the same time! I grew up with two cats, Spike (a black cat) and Sunny (a tabby), as well as a pitbull/bulldog mix named Dash. That’s really where my love for animals started. Taking care of them taught me responsibility, attentiveness, and how to understand different pet personalities. It also sparked my soft spot for pit bulls and larger dogs—they’ve always had a special place in my heart. Over the past couple of years, I’ve expanded that experience by caring for both cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’ve worked with kittens, adult cats, and dogs including Boston Terriers (both senior and puppy), German Shepherds, Chocolate Labs, Terrier mixes, Pitbulls, and Bulldogs. I’m comfortable adjusting my care depending on the pet—whether that means keeping up with a high-energy puppy, being patient and gentle with a senior dog, or giving a shy cat the space they need to warm up. What sets me apart is how intentional I am with care. I pay attention to the little things—behavior changes, energy levels, routines—and I make sure pets feel safe, seen, and comfortable. I’m also reliable and communicative, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. And as a bonus, I can keep your plants alive too! My mom has been into gardening since 2020 (and is still going strong), and while she’s the expert, I’ve picked up solid basics—watering, light needs, and general upkeep—so your plants will be in good hands as well. As a full-time graduate student and wedding singer, my schedule is pretty flexible—which works out perfectly for giving your pets the time and attention they deserve! I’m able to do daytime check-ins, evening visits, and overnight stays, and I enjoy building pet care into my weekly routine. I naturally connect with animals—they tend to gravitate toward me, and I love building that bond with them. Beyond just care, I really value creating a calm, loving, and attentive environment so pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I believe I’d make a great sitter because I’m responsible, communicative, and genuinely invested in each pet’s well-being. For me, it’s not just about pet sitting—it’s about creating a sense of comfort, consistency, and trust while you’re away. In a client’s home, I’m very mindful of maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. That means sticking to feeding schedules, keeping litter boxes clean, walking, engaging in playtime, and paying attention to their unique personality and needs. Whether your pet is super social or a bit more independent, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe and cared for in their own space. I also make it a priority to keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is always to provide not just care, but companionship—and to be someone you and your pet can trust.

About: I've had pets my entire life and have been through every stage, from bottle babies to seniors, and I've never met an animal I didn't love. I have volunteered in shelters throughout the years, so I have plenty of experience cleaning up after animals and dispensing medication, when necessary. I work in academia, so my schedule is very flexible, and I can check in on pets and go for walks in the middle of the day. I work in academia, so aside from the odd meeting, I have a flexible schedule. I also have the freedom to work from home when needed, so I can be home when we have visitors. I have four cats, so I can only host cats in the house. We have rooms with closed doors where my cats aren't allowed, so any visitors can have their own space if needed. At a client's house, I'll gladly stop by for an informal visit to meet your pet, learn their routine, and collect keys.

We always have one less stress during a trip when Meagan is able to check in on our cats. She takes outstanding care of them, provides great photos and updates, and was nice enough to take our trash out on her last visit prior to our return, so our apartment didn't smell like empty cat food tins. Always a trusted sitter.
Jessica did an awesome job looking after our cat. She was communicative throughout the whole process and sent pictures during the drop in. We could rest easy knowing our furball was in good hands. We will definitely look to use Jessica's services again next time!

Trish was great with Rio and Luna! She followed all of our instructions carefully, always checked in on time, and sent us pictures after every visit. Our cats clearly loved hanging out with her and seemed very comfortable around her. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of while we were away. We’d definitely recommend Trish and would be happy to book 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.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
