âKaitlyn took excellent care of our needy, high energy kitty! She was a great communicator and very thorough with her care of Howie. She provided him with tons of attention & we had great peace of mind that he was in good hands. We would absolutely book her again!â

âBooking with Kelsey & Forrest to take care of my cat was such a great experience! They were very communicative, sent pictures and videos of my cat, provided updates, and took very good care of my girl đą. This was my first experience with Rover and it was very pleasant.

âKate was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time leaving our cats for more than two days. They can be a little spicy when meeting new people, but theyâve liked Kate right from the start. My mind was at ease because I know they were in good hands. Kate provided us with a daily report and pictures. We will absolutely have her watch our girls again and again! :)â
About: I have 10 years of experience taking care of pets! I have walked puppies, middle aged, and elderly dogs, and I love hanging out with cats as well. I do Rover to earn some extra money while saving for grad school and get to hang out with some adorable pets at the same time! I am reliable, punctual, and attentive. Iâm excited to meet your pet! As a recent college grad, I take care of cats and dogs in my time off from work to make some extra money on the side doing something I love :) I will follow your instructions for drop-in visits in your home and/or walks. Let me know what is best for your pet and I will do my best to follow that!
âJenn did a great job with Midnight; he seemed to really like her from what I saw in the pictures she sent, and when we had our meet and greet; he was all over her.â
âIâm so thankful for the love & care that Suzanne and her kids gave my kitten. He got sick the night before I left and she really helped me out by giving him his needed meds while I was gone. Iâm sure my kitten enjoyed all of the play time with her kids! Highly recommend them.â
âMorgan is awesome! Took great care of our cat while we were away and kept us updated and kept our mind at ease that he was taken care of. Great communicator & super kind human!â
About: I used to operate a rescue and shelter outside of Atlanta. I have experience with all types of animals in all types of conditions. Familiar with special needs, dietary restrictions, after surgery care, blind animals and more. I have always been an animal lover and I currently have 3 dogs I would like to make pet care my full time job. I currently do some side work in the construction field but would really enjoy spending all my time with the pets if possible I have a fenced in yard and two fully separated areas of the house and garage that open into the yard that can accommodate any animals who arenât comfortable around other pets. I let my dogs on the couches and beds and they have free reign of the house
âCouldnât be happier with the way Holly handled the drop-in visits for our dogs. She shared photos and updates after each visit and it was very comforting. I could tell the dogs enjoyed her visits. Would absolutely book again!â
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of my familyâs dogs (Bernese Mountain Dogs) and dogsitting for friends and neighbors. I have a lot of energy, so I am willing to walk, run, and play with your dog. I am also willing to take your dog to a dog park to get out some more energy. I also offer house sitting. I am a middle school teacher, so during the week I am only available for drop-ins and walks after 3:40. If I am dogsitting for you during the week, there will be times that I am gone for 8-9 hours at work. But on most weekends, I wouldnât be gone for more than 3-4 hours at a time, and would spend the rest of the time home with your pet making them feel safe and loved! I work full time from 7:30-3:30 on weekdays, but have a lot of afternoon and evening availability for drop-ins and walks. I am also available for early morning drop-ins before 7:00 am. I follow all of the routines, procedures, and feeding instructions left by the petâs family in order to provide great care for the pet and to ensure the home is safe and secure.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East Grand Rapids
Maia was awesome, my cats loved her! She made sure to ask all the necessary questions to feel comfortable watching my cats, sent photos and updates, stayed on top of everything they needed, and left my apartment clean! She also responded promptly and took on a last minute request for an extra visit when my flight home got cancelled and caused me to get home a day later than expected. Based on the photos, the cats had a great time and were comfortable with her, even the very skittish and anxious one.
Jasmine was fantastic. She watched our 3 cats and 2 dogs for 5 days, twice a day, and her care and commitment to the animals showed the whole time. She was on time for every single visit, exactly as agreed. Communication was excellent, with lots of photo updates so we always knew how everyone was doing. She went above and beyond too, watering our plants and bringing in packages without us even asking. The animals loved her, which says a lot since we have a mix of personalities in this house. You can tell she's a true animal lover. We'll definitely be booking Jasmine again and recommend her without hesitation.
A truly wonderful person! Andrea is absolutely phenomenal. We felt so relaxed and comfortable with her helping us while we were out of town. She went above and beyond to connect with our kitties, took the cutest photos, and was very thoughtful and communicative. Thank you for everything, Andiey! â¤ď¸đââŹ
Kaitlyn is seriously amazing. My senior dog does not like everyone, but warmed to her on first meeting. She was consistent, kind, gave great updates, and took lots of sweet photos. Day 1, Kaitlyn had to take out our dog in a thunderstorm. She was patient and kind to him, and when all else failed, she carried him down the steps. All heros don't wear capes!
This was our first time having a pet sitter. Beth was professional, reliable, and wonderful with our 3 cats. One of our cats is 16 years old, partially crippled, and needed meds. Beth confidently gave him his meds and gave him lots of love. We will definitely book with Beth next time we need a sitter.
Suzanneâs son Henry did an amazing job of caring for my two cats this week! He sent several pictures and a short detailed description of what the cats were up to each day. It was obvious that my cats liked him! Henry scooped the litter every day, kept the water bowls full, spent dedicated time playing with the cats, and left a sweet note on the table at the end of the week. 10/10.

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, donât 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 Justiceâs National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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 .
