“If I could give 10 out of 5 stars I would! Alissa was signed up to watch only our cat. Two days before our trip, our dog was attacked by another dog and she kindly ended up watching our cat and dog, stopping by 4 times a day with very detailed notes about each visit. Several days into the trip, our dog developed stress-induced colitis and required a couple trips to the vet. Ultimately we ended up coming home early from our trip to care for our very sick dog. Alissa was incredible! Even our veterinarian’s office told us how wonderful and knowledgeable about our dog she was when she brought him dog in. Overall it was a stressful situation but Alissa was so incredibly kind, professional and an excellent communicator. It made such a huge difference in what was otherwise a very difficult situation. We cannot speak highly enough of her!”
“She was amazing. I was stressed prior to leaving on our trip since we would be out of the country and we had just had a tree fall on the house. She reassured me every day that my fur baby was doing well by notes and lots of pictures. I have to say that she really is a great cat person and that comes from my kitty who does not do well with strangers. Aspen took the time to love her and to even brush her which made my day as well as my kitty's. Will use again.”
“Isabelle is amazing! I can tell my cat loved her. He was very content when I got home and when I got sick and had to be away for another day, she was quick to respond to my emergency booking! Thank you, Isabelle!!”
About: I have taken care of pets during the summer months for the last 8 years. I have experience caring for birds, cats, dogs, fish, hamsters/guinea pigs, & more for family and friends around my neighborhood. I own 2 cats that are very spoiled and well cared for. I am currently a full time graduate school student with a varying schedule. I try to fit in Rover appointments if I have the availability for them. I love cats and an experienced with different feeding schedules/types for a variety of pets. I usually like to take dogs on walks in the morning or evening when the pavement is not too hot. Depending on the pet’s personality, some need more playtime so I’d love to stay and play too!
“Caleigh was great with my dogs. Even my big mastiff. She watched 3 dogs for me and did a wonderful job. She was on time and was able to get pictures of all of them each time she came by. I booked her late but she was responsive and professional. I highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: Hello! I've pet sat for multiple years now and would love to help you out! From new born puppies to elderly dogs I've done it all. Dogs, cats, chickens, and even bearded dragons, I gotchu! I'm a student at UNC Chapel Hill and can handle any needs and wants to need from me! Hope to sit for you very soon! I am available in the morning before class that begins around 10am and all the time afterwards around 1:30pm. On weekends I am available all day! I am fully able to complete anything the owner needs from me! Walks, medication, play time, staying over some nights, I'm your girl! I can usually stay for some hours each time I need to drop by and of course spend nights if needed!
“Lauren was a fantastic sitter who gave us great updates on our furbaby while we were out of town along with sweet photos letting us know he was in good hands. We have an older cat who requires quite a bit of social time during his visits and Lauren was always willing to give him the attention he demands. Highly recommend!”
About: I've been pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was 16 and have been around dogs my entire life. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets of all ages and personalities. I have volunteered with animal rescues since I was 12, fostered numerous dogs and cats, and am comfortable providing basic medical care, including oral medications, eye drops, injections, and subcutaneous fluids when needed. I treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, extra patience, or specialized care, I'm dependable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I'm currently taking online classes during the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets. In the fall I will be returning to in person classes, however my schedule will still allow me to be a reliable care giver for your pets and satisfy all of their needs! I understand that trusting someone with your pets and home is a big decision. I treat every home with respect and follow your pets routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I am experienced in administering oral medications, eye drops, some injections, and fluids when needed. Whether your pet loves to play, needs extra patience, or requires special care, I'll provide reliable, attentive care and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit.
About: Worked with Dogs and Cats both young and old. Along with a small range of farm animals like chickens and goats. Additionally I have works with some more unique pets like chinchillas. I have also done some house sitting off and on for a few years. Currently working part time over the summer so have more than enough time at all times throughout the week. I am free pretty much 24/7 all day every week but tend to like one day notice of booking. I have a small back yard that’s fenced in and more than enough space both within and outside my house. I also can let them out, feed, play, whatever they need if ever or whenever you would like me to go to your house.
“Nicole was fabulous! We have an almost 12-year old dog who can be a little skittish about having his harness put on. Nicole got him all setup and took him out on a walk where he was able to stretch his legs and sniff to his heart's content. Great photos and follow up. Excited to book with her again!”
“Diana was a great sitter for our cats! She followed all of our instructions and made our kitties very comfortable. She was especially great at giving our old man cat his medication and playing with our youngest cat. We would definitely have her sit for our cats again!”
“I’ve hired Anna quite a few times to visit my cat. She’s so gracious and easy to work with! My cat is always healthy and relaxed when we return and her area is nicely cleaned up. What a relief to have someone we can count on!”
About: My name is Hilit and I am a long time pet lover and grew up with 2+ dogs, 2+ cats, and many other small creatures in my home at all times. I now live with my 4 y/o aussie, Toast, and my two kitties, Suzy (13 y/o) and Fig (2 y/o). In addition to caring for my own pets, I've fostered dogs and young kittens for years. I love walkin with dogs big or small and am always down for chillin with cats and giving them the love and attention they want. I am a licensed occupational therapist, but am currently transitioning into a new job, so am around the house most of the time and running on a flexible schedule. I can't wait to hang out, play with, and/or walk your beloved dogs and cats! I look forward to talking. I am currently studying for the national Occupational Therapy board exams so am flexible in my schedule. I have animals of my own at home, so am used to taking care of them throughout the day and have a lifetime of experience with most animal-related tasks. I have a gentle and loving home where I really let my animals personalities grow. We raise our pets with rules out of respect for our home, guests, and our own boundaries, but create a pretty open and loose environment where our animals can explore.
“I engaged Hannah for a couple of hours of pet sitting—a drop-in visit—this past weekend. She was responsible, punctual, responsive, and respectful of our house rules. My two knuckleheads, both Pittie mixes, warmed to her steady, calm manner right away. When I returned home, they were excited to see me for about 30 seconds before going back to their usual business: napping. When Hannah said goodbye, they watched her walk away and gave me that unmistakable “Why is she leaving us?” look. I will definitely use Hannah’s services again, whether I am out for an extended social engagement or away on a quick weekend trip. Hannah is a great find if you need weekend coverage in the Chapel Hill–Durham area!”
About: Owners and animals will love my service because I'm very hands on and love to engage with the animals. I have two dogs and two cats of my own who are extremely well behaved with other animals. I've worked with dogs In particular in the past and found a passion with it. It doesn't matter if it's big dogs or small, I love to meet and interact with new animals. I have worked with aggressive breeds in the past so I know how to engage and interact with different breeds and needs. I know not all dogs are the same and each dog requires different techniques for that dog to feel safe and comfortable with a stranger. I feel confident with my ability to walk or sit most dogs. I have open availability for anyone's needs! All I ask is you reach out ahead of time just incase I have anything else booked. I follow the guidelines set by the owners. Each pet is individual and requires certain attention. My job isnt to change the comfortability or routines you have set for your animals. If I encounter any concerns or have any suggestions I will always bring them to the owner before I change any daily routine.
“Joy is always amazing! One of our kitties got a little sick right before a trip and, with the vet’s permission, Joy took great care of her. Out kitty is NOT easy to medicate but Joy was an absolute champ and took care of it every single evening. We came home to a VERY happy and healthy kitty ❤️ And we were able to go on our trip with zero stress because Joy provided constant updates, which makes this very paranoid pet parent much calmer.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dogwood Acres
My cat has been a resilient solo girl whenever I go on vacation; though recently, she's needed a revamped feeding schedule. Taylor took incredible care of my girl with this new feeding plan (and assuaging my newfound worries) - coming 2x a day to feed her and learning how to use my automatic wet food feeder to ensure my girl gets an early-morning snack to calm her sensitive stomach. Definitely recommend, but not when I need her ;)
Kelly was great to work with! She took on my last minute need as well as the unexpected add-on of two additional pets. She was also super patient with my slow response time due to a family emergency. The 2 cats and 2 high energy crazy teenage kittens were very well cared for - Kelly sent lots of photos and an update every day which was comforting. She was also very punctual. Will absolutely hire her again!
Ria did a great job taking care of Stormy. she handled all the feeding and enrichment tasks perfectly. She was able to quickly establish a good rapport with Stormy, which makes all the difference in the world. She was punctual and sent me session reports and photos after each visit. I highly recommend Ria for any cat-sitting task. Her approach is friendly, thoughtful, and professional.
We have had to be out of town very often this year and Lynsey has been our go-to cat sitter for nine months and counting. Our cat loves her and she continues to provide top-notch care, thoughtfulness, and love whenever she visits! She is reliable and trustworthy!
Samantha was very responsible and communicative. She documented her visits with my cat and, according to the pictures she sent me, my ktty looked very happy. Sam also gave my cats her meds and reported on her condition and behavior. This was very comforting since I am currently traveling. I warmly recommend Samantha.
Maren was just wonderful!! She took perfect care of my cat, Sophie, who is now demanding more love from her mom after all the love that Maren gave her, lol! This was my first time using Maren as a sitter and as long as she stays in the pet-sitting business, I will never use anyone else. Thank you, Maren!
Jacob was FANTASTIC! He was proactive, attentive, communicated clearly and made sure our senior kitty had all of her medical needs met while we were away. He left everything neat and tidy, and even brought packages that got delivered inside for us. I could not be happier, and will definitely reach out if we need a kitty sitter again in the future.
This is our second time having Larissa watch our cat Electra, and I couldn't be any happier! Electra is very shy and doesn't normally warm up to people. But ut she warmed right up to Larissa and cuddled up to her. It was amazing!!! Larissa took great care of her and our home. I highly recommend her

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.

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 .
