“This was our second trip where we booked with Lily and are again very happy with the care she gave our pet. She is very communicative, provides lots of pictures, and even keeps us up-to-date on anything else we should be aware of in the house”
“Hana did a great job, left our space super clean, and kept everything very organized. And she persevered when we had a lock issue. Awesome work and would love to hire her again!”
“Hannah did an amazing job watching our cat while we were out of town for the week! She checked in regularly and sent pictures each visit. Would absolutely recommend her!”
“We highly recommend Mya and will make her our first choice the next time we need a pet sitter. This was our first experience using Rover, and we were nervous about how our kittens would react to a stranger. However, when Mya came over for the initial introduction, our cats took to her immediately, even our more timid one. We were impressed by her professionalism, communication skills, attention to detail, and responsiveness. We truly appreciated the photos and updates from each of her visits. Thank you for taking care of our cats like your own; we hope to work with you again soon!”
“Maria is the best! She takes the best care of my cat and makes sure I’m informed about how things are going. I’m so appreciative of the pictures and status updates. You can tell she really cares and treats your pets like her own.”
“Tiffanie did an amazing job watching our cat Pekoe while we were away. Pekoe doesn't usually take well to new people, but she warmed up to Tiffanie right away. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, made plenty of time to play with and give affection to Pekoe, and gave us regular and thorough updates with each visit. Would highly recommend Tiffanie as a trustworthy sitter and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Sarah took the best care of our cat Tilly when we were traveling. She sent us pictures and updates each day and spent extra time to help her adjust to us being gone. You can tell she loves animals and we plan to use her again.”
“Michael is a star sitter. Amazing communication, attention to detail, and always great at sending pictures. I always know I’m leaving my pets in great hands”
“Drew was exceptionally helpful in taking care of our cats while we were on vacation. She was communicative and adjusted to last minute changes when our home litter box stopped working, even making herself available to come additional days. Our cats were well taken care of, thanks to Drew!”
“Kaiyue was the best cat sitter I could have asked for. All the pictures and videos I received each day showed my cat was happy as a clam. Kaiyue was very communicative, clearly knowledgeable about cats, and overall the sweetest human. Highly recommend!”
“He was amazing! So attentive with my cat. Sent multiple daily updates with photos and videos. Monitored her eating/drinking levels really well and notified if he had any concerns. Awesome sitter!”
“Anne was AMAZING! So kind, so diligent, and she took great care of my cat, Louise! Louise is a little shy, but Anne was an expert, and made Louise feel comfortable and at home!”
“Amanda is the best! We are so glad she could check in on our kitty last minute. She is always so thoughtful, communicative, and easy to coordinate with!”
“We needed someone on short notice and Alexandria responded immediately. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the process stress-free. She was great with our 8-month-old rescue, Poppy, who’s still adjusting and can be reactive on leash. Alexandria was patient and understanding, handling Poppy thoughtfully. We loved the photos and report card after each visit and would definitely book Alexandria again—Poppy would be happy to see her too!”
“Carrie did a fantastic job checking in on our cat, Pasha. She was very communicative, diligent, and caring. He looked happy in all the photos. We’d definitely book her again.”
“Julia and Spencer are great with our cats! They spend plenty of time playing with our high energy kittens. They take awesome pics and give us thorough updates! Thanks again!”
About: I have taken care of my family dog for all 8 years we have had him, largely taking care of his training. Also, have dogsat for countless neighbors and friends, making sure their pups are properly fed, walked, and provided medication. My job is hybrid and my schedule is fairly flexible, so will make time for any of the pet care that I commit myself to. While I am currently living in an apartment and unable to care for pets in my home, in my clients’ homes, I am sure to follow all pet care instructions provided by my client and prioritize the pets’ comfort and care above all else.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dover
Abby is awesome and consistently goes above and beyond to take care of both pet needs as well as keep a watchful eye on my place. She is proactive about any pet needs and is exactly the responsible individual I want looking after my cat/home when I’m not in town. Always responsive and someone I can truly depend on.
Jennifer did such an amazing job caring for our 4 kitties, even with the complication of having them in two separate areas to keep them from eating each other’s food. I can tell from the photos that every one of the cats felt super comfortable around her and it put my mind at ease while I was away knowing they were getting true attention on top of their needs being met. Jennifer communicates well, is dependable, and clearly has a way with cats. Highly recommend!
Brenna went above and beyond for our cat. She gave ear drops and medicine without complaint when the cat needed them last-minute, she watered our garden, and she was very regular and thorough in her communication. She is seriously a rock star and we were so thankful to have connected with her on Rover.

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 .
