“Christine was terrific with my shy kitties— they warmed right up to her! She was easy to communicate and book with, and reliable. Will definitely book her again!”
“Jennifer took care of our kitties while we were out of town, and it was such a relief to have someone so caring check in on them! She sent photos each day and communicated any questions or concerns quickly. I will definitely ask her to watch them again, and I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Staci was so wonderful and caring. She was very patient with one of my very shy cats and my not-so-shy boys really loved her. Definitely recommend her to care for your furry friends”
“Absolutely amazing!! My one cat that NEVER comes out for anyone but me warmed up to her and clearly trusted her. So happy my babies were cared and loved for while I was gone”
“Mckayla was amazing!!! We could not have asked for a better sitter for our Lovey. Lovey has loads of energy as she is still very puppy like at the age of 2. Mckayla was able to keep up & she took her on walks everyday. We did not require walks at all but she chose to do it anyways. We will definitely be using McKayla’s services again!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Farrin! She has an obvious love for animals and such a sweet demeanor. She met me and Charlie before drop in visits for a week and he immediately loved her. She had great communication throughout, sent the cutest pictures, and I had such peace of mind leaving my little guy in her care. Don’t hesitate to use her for your pet. ?”
About: All my life, I thought I was a cat person. Then Jameson, Christopher, and now Lulu happened… long story short, I got converted. 😂🐾🐾 Now I research dog behavior, work on training and commands, and probably get way too excited when they listen and learn something new. I’m patient, very hands-on, and affectionate with dogs. I believe structure and consistency are the key to almost everything. I have two tweens who help care for our dogs and absolutely love having another furry friend around to play with and give attention to (especially puppies!). With me, your dog gets walks, playtime, attention, treats (with your permission!), belly rubs, and people who genuinely enjoy having dogs around. And because I speak English and Spanish, my dogs are bilingual. 😂 So there’s a small chance yours goes home knowing a little Spanish too. 😉🐾 I’m a full-time mom, work from home, and homeschool my two tween boys, so my schedule is flexible, intentional, and home-centered. Daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, training, and supervision are part of my normal rhythm. Structure and consistency matter in my household. Pets are supervised, engaged, and treated like family, not left alone for long stretches. I care for pets the same way I care for my own kids: with routine, attention, and respect. I follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, and house rules closely. While I don’t have a patio, we’re five minutes from the dog park and take daily walks to nearby nature spots. I have gates between rooms so the dogs can meet and sniff each other while still having their own space to adjust. Once they seem comfortable with each other, I open the gate so they can interact and play, with me right beside them. If one starts feeling scared or threatened, I give them space again. My dogs know commands like “personal space” and “mind your business.” We practice almost every day because we meet dogs and people with different personalities at the dog park. Better safe than sorry! Dogs stay on a leash during walks and outings, and I usually attach one of my AirTags to their collars as an extra precaution. Although my profile says I accept up to five dogs, the number I host depends on their size, individual needs, and behavior so I can give each one the care and attention they need. Please bring kibble in an airtight container labeled with your dog’s name, the food brand, and feeding instructions. Include a measuring cup and clearly indicate the amount per meal. If your dog eats something other than kibble, please pack it properly and label everything. Please chop raw food as needed and pack it in individual meal portions in sealed Ziploc bags, with storage and serving instructions included. I have plenty of chew toys and balls, but if your dog has a special toy or lovey, please bring it along. If they sleep in a kennel, I prefer that you bring their own, along with their bed or mat. It’s not required, since I have extra beds, but their familiar things may help them feel more at home. You’re also welcome to bring a T-shirt you’ve worn so they can have your familiar scent nearby while they wait for you to come back. I talk to the dogs in my care because I believe they understand more than we think. I often remind them that you’ll be back soon, especially rescue dogs who may have lived in different homes. I want them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re with me.
“Jenna is always amazing. I know my pets are well taken care of and that they will be happy. Even when my cat is being hissy and grumpy, Jenna is still amazing and thoughtful. She will be well worth hiring of you want to hire her. We have used her about 4 or 5 times now and will continue to use her in the future if she is willing to work for us again. Great pet sitter. 100% recommend.”
“Kathryn was very easy to get along with and she has a clear love of cats. She sent short but clear daily updates of feedings, cleanings, and how my cat was doing and interacting with her.”
“Cheryl rocks! Truly a professional pet sitter with experience with all kinds of critters! I highly highly recommend her if you are in the area and in need of a sitter.”
About: I think a meet and greet is an important way to let me know if your pet needs anything special for their visit. I want pets to be my job. I have flexible hours to take care of your pet. If you have a senior dogs that needs to be walked by his/herself, that's no problem. They usually need to go at a slower pace so they can enjoy their walk. I can do walks or just drop in visits to be with them. I can also drop in visits for your cat, so they are not lonely. I think cats need attention & exercise while pet parents are away. I can give them playtime and keep you updated on their response. I want pets to be my job. I have flexible hours and the time to take care and play with your pups. I can also provide boarding on weekdays and/or weekends. I have no problem walking larger dogs, but I can only board dogs 20 lbs or under. (my dogs are 11 lbs and under.) I have had pets for over 30 and taking care of family, friends and neighbors pets for over 25 years. I treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a small fenced in yard and also have small dogs to keep your pup company. I am also able to crate your pup if needed. I have a dog door, but if I have to run errands the pups are safely keep inside until I return. My fur babies like to lay in the sun.
About: I’ve had a Cavalier King Charles for my whole life, the first one for 13 years and now my own for a year. He is my world and he gets along great with all dogs no matter size or age. I care for other dogs as if they’re my own and will always keep owners updated with pictures and/or text messages!! I have experience with giving meds, making food, feeding schedules, walking, potty breaks, etc. Let me watch your furry ones!! I’m currently in school Monday-Thursday from 7am-2pm and sometimes earlier, so weekends work better for boarding, however i’m willing to make it work. I can always pop in to walk your pup or take them out, or have them in my house! Up to you. I let my dog roam throughout the day and he does great. I always turn on a show for him:)) I have a fenced in backyard and take my dog for a walk everyday. I love taking him to the dog park as well and he would love to have a friend in the home, or I can come to yours and take care of them there!

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 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 .
