“One of my cats got randomly sick with a stomach issue while William and Andrea were caring for them. William took her to the Emergency Vet, waited with her, and then when she was sent home he gave her the prescription food she was sent home with and kept me updated the whole time. He cleaned up the mess she left as well, which couldn’t have been fun. I couldn’t have asked for anything more, they really went above and beyond!”
“Nicole took such good care of our kitty while we were away! Communication was great and we received wonderful videos/pics from each visit. We will definitely be booking her again in the future :)”
“This was the third time I booked Catherine. She takes care of my pets needs and provides her company when I’m away. Catherine is very responsive and always leaves my place just the way I left it. Highly recommend her.”
“We love Amy! Suki and her are friends now, and we feel comfortable leaving Suki in her care. Amy has been so helpful! This is our second time booking with her, and we will definitely reach out again when we travel. I’m sure Suki will be happy to see her!”
“Cats are safe, sound, and very happy! Brianne was responsive, punctual, and awesome with our three cats. They have never taken to someone the way they took to Brianne- she did amazing with them. 5 stars!”
“Tori was great! She is reliable and very kind to work with. Our cats seemed to be very comfortable with her and we loved the pictures she sent us. She kept us updated on anything we needed to know, but also let us feel fully relaxed knowing our kitties were well taken care of while we were away! We will definitely book her again!”
“Lingshan did a wonderful job taking care of our 19-year-old cat, which included administering oral medication twice a day. She was punctual, responsive to queries, and took all her responsibilities seriously. I highly recommend Lingshan for taking care of your pet!”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful with my two cats while I was away on my honeymoon. I never like to leave them and they can be a bit shy around new people so I was understandably a little worried about traveling but from the moment I met Jessica, I knew they would be in great hands - and I could not have been more right! My cats who are shy with new people, immediately came over to her and loved her, following her around as she fed them and engaged with them. She was so communicative, which put my mind totally at ease knowing my girls were being so well looked after. She truly went above and beyond, and I know who I will be reaching out to should I need a pet sitter in the future! Thanks so much, Jessica! Snacks and Roo say thanks too!!”
“Kyrstin was wonderful taking care of our two cats while we were gone for a week! She kept us very updated and shared a lot of photos. She managed medication administration for one of our cats as well. We would trust her over and over again to take care of our boys 💙🐾”
“She took care of my Kitties last minute, and one of them I adopted a week ago and they weren't quite on hospitable terms yet. She allowed them to interact gently while being ready to separate in case of throwing paws. She also followed special feeding directions for my elderly cat who needs stuff mixed in and her pate in an extra soupy mash.”
“As usual, Beth did a fantastic job taking care of my furbabies. I had the start date screwed up and when I noticed it after I left for vacation, I contacted her and she "flew" right over and saw to their needs! Thank you Beth!”
“Another great experience with Erika!! She has been accommodating, kind, and super thoughtful when it comes to watching my cat while I’m away. Looking forward to the next time. Thanks!”
About: I have a flexible schedule because I work in a hybrid environment. I can do almost any day, including weekends. I’m also able to work from home sometimes, which makes it easier for me to take care of them. I would like to provide visiting or overnight care in customers place so that cats won’t getting anxiety and stay their comfy places. I am passionate and love the interaction with cats
About: I’ve always had a special soft spot for cats and understand that every cat has their own personality, boundaries, and little quirks. Some love attention and cuddles, while others prefer their quiet space—and I’m very comfortable respecting both. When I care for your cat, my goal is to make them feel safe, calm, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away. I take the time to understand their feeding schedule, favorite play styles, hiding spots, and comfort habits so they can feel secure in their environment. I’m very attentive to small details—whether it’s keeping litter boxes clean, making sure food and water are fresh, giving them playtime and stimulation, or simply sitting quietly with them if they prefer gentle company. I also keep pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how your cat is doing. I treat every cat with patience, kindness, and respect, just as I would my own. My goal is for you to travel or work worry-free, knowing your cat is in safe, caring hands. Looking forward to meeting you and your feline companion! 🐾 Since I work from home, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Being home most of the day allows me to give cats plenty of attention, maintain their feeding and play schedules, and make sure they’re comfortable and happy. I’m able to regularly check on them, keep their litter area clean, and spend time with them so they don’t feel lonely while their owners are away. I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, portion sizes, litter box cleaning, and any specific preferences the cat may have. I make sure their environment stays clean, calm, and safe. Since I work from home, I’m able to check on them frequently throughout the day, give them playtime and attention, and also respect their space if they prefer a quieter presence. Some cats enjoy interactive play and company, while others take time to warm up—I’m very patient and let them approach me at their own pace. If I’m caring for a cat in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care, keeping everything tidy and making sure their cat feels secure in their familiar surroundings. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. My goal is always for cats to feel relaxed and well cared for, and for owners to feel confident that their pet is in safe, attentive hands.
About: I offer more than basic pet sitting—I bring experience, intuition, and a calm, knowledgeable approach to every visit. From everyday care to more complex medical needs, including medication administration, I’m confident handling a wide range of situations while keeping your pet comfortable and stress-free. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, with a preference for early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. These times are ideal for walks, feedings, and quality time, especially for pets who thrive on consistent routines or need care outside of standard work hours. I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet receives dependable, timely care when they need it most. My apartment is located in a safe, pet-friendly community that’s ideal for in-home sitting. The environment is calm, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of space for pets to relax comfortably. Being in a dog-friendly area also means easy access to safe walking paths and a neighborhood where pets are part of everyday life. I make sure every pet in my care feels secure, supervised, and right at home.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. From house sitting, to walking them, to even taking care of my own dog. I’ve worked with different breeds and ages, and I love them all! I stay at home mostly throughout the week, and I’ve been wanting to get out a couple of times, and this would be the perfect opportunity to take care of your dogs in walking, or dropping by to play! I live in an apartment complex, so I would have to go to where you are to walk/play with your dog, or I could take them to a dog park!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Derwood
Immediately our kitties Ovi and (even sassy) B took a liking to Cindy. Cindy was flexible and met the kitties few days before the appointment and was very attentive and sweet towards the kitties. Detailed oriented. Provided updates and photo during the visit. Will highly recommend and will use service again.
Gracie was wonderful from start to finish! She was very communicative, quick to respond, flexible, and genuinely so nice. When she came to care for our cat, she was incredibly thorough and attentive. We especially appreciated the detailed end-of-care summary with lots of photos—it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely book her again for future needs and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful pet sitter!
Amanda is so reassuring to her clients and make sure our pets are being taken care of. She does a great job at communicating and taking care of your pet! Trust me, if you have a sitter or this is your first time doing anything like this, pick her or change your sitter because she’s the best of the best! Thanks Amanda!
Jenny was great! She seems very conscientious, reliable, and concerned about our pets. She arrived at the pre-arranged time and confirmed by text. As requested by us, she called when there were questions about feeding, medication, etc. We will definitely request her support in the future.

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 .
