“Dana is an incredible sitter! She took outstanding care of our cat while we were away for a ten day trip, sending us detailed updates, great photos, and sweet videos that made us feel close to our fur baby back home. She was also very easy to contact, and patient if we had trouble communicating over different time zones/countries. Dana also went above and beyond taking care of the liter area and even taking in our recycling can, which was incredibly kind of her. It was clear that Dana truly connected with our kitty and was invested in her well being while we were far from home. 😻 We will absolutely book Dana again if possible and would highly recommend her!”
“Sara is an absolutely cat sitter! I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away. I would trust her any time with my kitties 😊 she went above and beyond and also watered my plants for me!”
“We’re so glad we found Sharon to check in on our cats while we were away! We’re new to the area and had to move away from our beloved animal sitters, and Sharon stepped into the role beautifully for our girls. She took great care of them, playing with them and making sure they were healthy and safe in our absence. We’re so grateful and can’t wait to have her back!”
“Lila does a wonderful job watching our 2 kitties! They are both always calm and happy when we return. Lila is very communicative and sends us lots of pictures/updates while we are away, which helps us feel at ease. Having someone reliable is a game changer - I highly recommend her!”
“Frankie was responsive and took great care of my cats!”
“Such a sweet companion for our 11 year old Ragdoll cat!”
“Mackenzie was an attentive and caring cat sitter while we were away. She clearly loves giving attention to the pets she visits. Her pictures depicted our kitty and her personality. Mackenzie followed all our directions and contacted us if there were questions. We would be happy to have her cat-sit again!”
“Autumn was very communicative and did a great job with my VERY shy cats. She also sent me lots of pictures to keep me updated throughout the weekend.”
“Abby did a fantastic job with our cat Newt! She was responsive, friendly, and did our special requests to make sure our little guy had what he needed. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Cassie responded quickly to my request for a pet sitter, took great care of my dog, and shared photos with each visit. I will reach out to her for future bookings, and I'd highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”
“Gretchen was wonderful with our cat Kobe. We were so happy to receive her detailed updates on how Kobe was doing. Kobe is not the friendliest cat but by Gretchen's last visit, it was clear that Kobe had come to trust and bond with her. Gretchen helped out with some of the other tasks around the house while we were away and we were very appreciative of that as well. Would definitely recommend her and we'll be using her again!!”
About: I worked at a pet boarding facility in Texas throughout high school, where I gained experience caring for pets and administering medications when needed. Alongside that, I started my own pet sitting business, which I continued through college. Now that I’ve relocated to North Carolina, I thought I’d give Rover a try! During the summer, I have open availability, and during the school year, I’m available outside of my class times. I also work remotely, so I can work from anywhere, making it easy to fit pet care into my daily schedule. I only offer pet care in my client’s home to help keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain their usual routine, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away.
“Once again Samantha comes through in a pinch. Excellent communication and lots of loving for Ginger and MaryAnne. I am most grateful to have Samantha help us out when we decide to take a last minute trip!! Highly recommended and took great care of my cats!!!”
“Aspen took great care of our senior cat with medication needs! She was super communicative and took her time during visits to make sure olive got all the love and pets she needed. 10/10 would book again.”
About: Hi! My name is Merrily, and I am a student at UNC! I have been an animal lover my whole life, growing up with two dogs and a cat! My dogs were a sweet boxer and a lively pug, so I have experience with both big and small dogs! I especially loved to take my boxer on long walks and runs, and cuddled and played with my pug. From taking care of my dogs throughout teenage hood, I gained valuable experience with senior care, administering oral and topical medication daily, dental care, bathes, and basic grooming. I also have dog and cat sat for family friends and neighbors numerous times, with duties ranging from senior care with a lab dog, to taking care (and easing) an anxious corgi. My favorite aspect of pet-setting is of course snuggles! I want to provide affection and comfort just as pets provide me with affection and comfort! I also thoroughly enjoy playtime and walks!🩷🐾 I am a full-time college student at UNC with much free time over summer break! I live in the heart of Chapel Hill and have a car, allowing for flexible and punctual care. I make sure to not only keep up with pets but with the client's home too. When caring for your furry friend and home, fulfilling your needs is my main goal!
“I love Caroline and I'm pretty sure the cats loved her too.. She was super prompt and communicative. Followed instructions and instinctively knew what extra needed to be done. Got updates daily with adorable pics!! Absolutely a wonderful experience and would highly recommend her!!”
“Diana was fantastic! She made me feel super comfortable about leaving my cats in her care and continually put me at ease with her daily updates.”
“Kristen is a wonderful pet sitter. I trust her more than anyone to take care of my older cat, who has a complicated array of medications (including chemo pills) and some difficult symptoms, but Kristen is adept and capable. Highly recommend!”
About: I know I'm new to Rover but I am no stranger to pet-sitting. I grew up in a house with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I currently have two dogs (Lincoln and Hootie) who are my bestest friends. While I love my dogs, I grew up with cats and miss having one around. I'm hoping to treat your cat like my own (with your rules in mind of course). I'm a student, so I'm happy to sit around and keep your kitty company while I work, or just pop in and out as needed. I'm currently a student with a very flexible schedule. If your cat loves company, I'm happy to hang out and get school work done while fitting in some play and snuggle time. I am happy to adapt to your needs and schedule. I've had experience with crating, changing cat litter, changing pee pads, changing pet diapers, etc. Having two dogs, growing up with cats, and pet-sitting cats, I know every pet is different and has different preferences or needs. I also know that every parent has specific requests that make sense to them, and I'm happy to follow your lead! I also really enjoy daily report cards and updates to keep you informed so that you don't have to worry about your pet while you are away!
About: Between us, we have raised 4 dogs, trained 3 of them from when they were puppies, and cared for over a dozen. We also have raised an orange cat who is as well-trained as a cat can be. We are a pair of teachers on summer break, so we have some flexibility during the day for dog walking or drop-in visits. We can do weekdays and weekends. We have experience meeting all kinds of pet needs! Anxious dogs, finicky eaters, crate training, leash training, high energy dogs, flighty cats, etc. etc. We can walk, play with, feed, provide water, brush, and whatever else your pet needs.

Autumn is great and always goes above and beyond! I know My kitties are in good hands when she takes care of them!
Caroline was amazing and Carl absolutely loved having her around! I will definitely use her again in the future.
This was our first time having Diane petsit for our two cats. They loved her! She sends lots of updates and photos. One of our cats is very shy and she was able to make him comfortable to come out and play by day 2!!!
Aspen took great care of Doug and he was so happy to see her! He’s a shy lil guy so she must give him good vibes!
Very helpful and professional. My cat is a bit skittish, but even she came out when Elise dropped by.
Highly recommend Taccara! Needed a same day check in and Taccara got back with us quickly and was able to come check on our cat in within a few hours. We are very appreciative and highly recommend booking this pet sitter!
We have used Chloe a few times and she’s always been a reliable sitter for us! She’s very nice and trustworthy and I’ll continue to use Chloe as our sitter!
This was my first experience with Rover, and Gretchen did not disappoint. She was prompt, reliable, caring, and friendly. She was great with my rather shy cat on her drop in visits, and left wonderful notes. I enjoyed the pictures, too. Thank you so much, Gretchen!
Claire was great while she took care of our cat while we were out of town. Very communicative and took initiative to find a way to stop our cat from continuously tipping over her water feeder. Would book again!

Avi is always so kind, caring, and responsive. This time Avi did a couple of drop-ins for our cat while we were out of town on a short trip. I couldn't recommend her more highly!
