“Paola was great, responsive and dependable. Besides taking care of my 3 kitties and sending great reports she took care of the house and cleaned the cat’s messes, and made sure my roomba was working. So grateful that i found her! Will book again”
“Jonathan is fantastic! He looks after our kitty when we are out of town. She’s really fond of him and his great communication and pics help us disconnect when we’re on vacation. Couldn’t ask for more.”
“Leo took wonderful care of Socrates while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and it was such a relief to know he was in good hands. When I came home, Socrates looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Leo was kind, reliable, and clearly gave him lots of attention and care. I truly appreciated the updates and pictures received and would absolutely trust Leo to watch Socrates again. Highly recommend! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would do so without hesitation.”
“Stephanie was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my cat, Saber! 🐾 She was clean, organized, and left my home in amazing condition. I especially appreciated how detailed her notes were — she really took the time to communicate and keep me updated, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Saber was very well cared for, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.”
About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely love animals and enjoy being around them. I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I recently got my own place and would love to fill it with some furry company! I absolutely adore animals, but with my schedule, I’m not quite ready to have a pet of my own full-time. Pet sitting gives me the perfect opportunity to spend time with animals, give them lots of love and attention, and make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. 🐾❤️ My schedule is very flexible since I work part-time and make my own schedule. When I have a pet-sitting booking, I can usually arrange my schedule around it and make sure I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m typically available throughout the day, and if I do work, it’s usually only from around 8 PM–2 AM. This allows me to be home for most of the day and provide plenty of care, playtime, walks, and companionship. 🐾💕 Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I make their comfort and routine my priority. I’ll follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime routines as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I also love giving plenty of attention, cuddles, and playtime based on each pet’s personality. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Thank you Leslia for taking care of our puppy!! She was so sweet throughout the check in and attentive to his needs. Leslia clearly loves and knows a lot about dogs, and we were so lucky to have her. Thanks again!”
About: I have been caring for dogs for over 10 years, from playful puppies to wise senior pets. My friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and tend to their beloved dogs in their homes. I pay close attention to each pet’s routines, energy levels, and unique personality. I truly understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away, and I always approach them with patience, warmth, and a deep sense of responsibility. I currently work remotely and study part-time with a flexible schedule, which lets me dedicate meaningful time to pet care. I genuinely enjoy building routines with pets so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. I'm available for daily walks, check-ins, and house sitting, including longer stays, to ensure your pet’s comfort and happiness. I genuinely care for pets in the comfort of their own homes, always respecting their routines and familiar surroundings. I am deeply mindful of their safety, cleanliness, and diligently follow all instructions from pet parents. I ensure doors are secured, adhere carefully to feeding and medication schedules, and strive to provide calm, attentive, and responsible care because their well-being is my top priority.
“One can tell that Andria loves cats.... and they love her. She was caring and loving towards my kitties. She even cleaned up and repotted the plant one of my kitties tore up. She sent multiple pictures daily and was always on time. You can't go wrong with Andria.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kelly! She was so reliable, friendly, kind, attentive, caring and sweet with my dog Benny. She went above and beyond to help me when I was in need. I am forever grateful to find Kelly and will recommend her to anyone!! I was so nervous about finding the right sitter for my high maintenance doggy but Kelly knew exactly what to do. Always sending me photos and videos while she’s caring for him. Checking in and out with me when she comes and goes. Always on time or early. 10000/10!!!”
“This service is extremely underrated! Erika is. God send legit! We have never used a pet sitter before so we had our concerns. When Erika came over the day prior to the service date, she was extremely professional and knowledgeable. She took lots of notes for our request. She arrived early to our place. She sent us pictures with our pets before, during and after she fed them. She sent pictures playing with our cats and even stay a bit longer than we requested. It really helped put our mind to ease. We will without a doubt use rover again for our pet’s needs and we will insist Erika is our pet sitter!”
“Marianna was absolutely wonderful with Thor. She was communicative, sent detailed updates with photos after every visit, and clearly went above and beyond — even navigating flooding from a storm to make sure she got to him on time. She noticed small details, like mixing his leftovers with fresh food and topping off his water fountain, and made sure he felt safe and comfortable the whole time I was away. Thor was clearly relaxed and well cared for by the end of the trip. I’d trust her with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family.”
“Anthony did amazing with drop-in visits for my bunny. Despite being new to caring for a bunny, he didn’t bat an eye to accept a request and help care for her over the holidays. He was super attentive to the unique care she needed. He is trustworthy, communicative, and punctual. He will be my go-to from now on for any pet needs in the future!”

Leo has been very responsible when taking care of my two cats, who are also really shy. I could even tell from the photos that he was able to gain their trust in a short amount of time, which is quite difficult to do. I would definitely book him again without hesitation and highly recommend him
Paola was amazing! I needed last minute care for my pets and she was outstanding. My senior cat who needs daily medication was in great hands, and Paola was kind, attentive, communicative, and went above and beyond with keeping the cat areas clean and tidy. Thank you for your help Paola! I will be rebooking in the future.

Michelle is absolutely amazing! She gave me such peace of mind and my fur babies could not have been taken better care of. She's very responsive, took the time to get my one sick baby to eat when he was NOT into it, and she sent me frame worthy pictures daily. Michelle, you're a freaking ROCK STAR 😻
Jennifer was amazing! She was able to help out last minute when my plans fell through. She was professional, prompt, and sent me many photo and video updates of my cat to make me feel at ease. I returned home to a clean apartment and a very happy kitty. I will definitely book with Jennifer again!
Jen was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter! She took wonderful care of my cats, kept me consistently informed, and sent plenty of photos that gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared and paid close attention to every detail. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would 100% book with Jen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.

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 .
