“I didn’t see any problems and “ my boys” seemed fine when I returned. Extra points for promptness ( early even!! ) upon our meeting & asking clarifying questions. I will be hiring Cathy Jo in the future!”
“John came to check in on our two cats during a long weekend. Every day, he was punctual and provided a written summary of how they're doing and how they behaved during the check-in, along with pictures. He is very respectful of the space within our home, and is an excellent communicator. While our cats are still learning to adjust to John's presence, he expresses an eagerness to make this transition easier and more comfortable, learning to adjust his own approach with each visit. We look forward to John's check-ins, in the future.”
“I was happy to meet Cathy and am very pleased with her service. Will definitely call her for future pet care especially since my little Punkin really liked her. Thank you so much.”
“Anna was great! She followed all of our care instructions, and she arrived early each time to her visits. She sent updates and was very caring towards our kitties. If you're in the Glen Allen area and you need someone to look after your cats, I highly recommend Anna!”
“This was a difficult sit for Lauren. Mal was approaching 18 years old and was not eating well. Several days into our trip, he took a turn for the worse. Lauren could not contact our veterinary because it was the weekend. We advised her to contact my daughter who was our contact on the Rover site. Lauren was able to pass our key to my son-in-law who sat with our cat as he passed away. Lauren was very professional.”
“Randi went above and beyond to make sure our animals were taken care of. She even voluntarily took home a chick that could not walk and fixed it's leg so it can get around on its own now. She also watered our plants and brought in mail while we were gone. She seems to know a lot about dogs and is a wealth of info on chickens, as well. Some of my chickens were not doing so well and thanks to her advice, they are looking healthier. I'd highly recommend her.”
“Farnaz is absolutely wonderful. She took great care of my 3 cats while I was out of town. She was punctual and patient with my shy babies. She made sure Chasie took his medicine and was able to pet Gracie who others have had a hard time finding. She was tidy, cleaned up messes and brought in packages. Her communication and updates were perfect, putting my mind at ease. I highly recommend her for your pets and we will be booking again soon.”
“Samantha was amazing! She checked on our pup twice in a day and made sure to keep our pup happy & safe. She also sent lots of pictures which was so sweet to see. We ended up rebooking with Samantha because she is so reliable and our pup loved her. We would love to have Samantha watch our dog again in the future!”
“Helen was absolutely incredible with our two cats! They are seniors with special needs and very human-oriented, and Helen put our minds at complete ease when she house sat for a night and two days while we were out of state. She provided updates, photos, and kept in touch with us throughout the whole time we were away. She even very kindly brought our mail and hellofresh inside, and made up the bed so we could just drop our bags and settle in at home when we returned. Definitely rebooking anytime we need her services in the future!”
About: I've owned dogs, cats & horses my entire life. I currently have 2 rescue dogs, 2 cats and a horse that are all treated like human children. I'm familiar with both young and elderly animals that require medical assistance. I work from home in Glen Allen. I have a flexible schedule and can check on your pet during the day and before/after work. I am comfortable with walking all dogs, crating dogs, working on commands and especially providing love and treats if desired! Happy to also prepare lick mats or other stimulation while you're away.
“Nicolas (Cole) was great to communicate with. He gave detailed feedback on how our dogs were doing while we were home. He took the initiative to find our cat and made sure he got attention too ! Coke’s puts his heart in his work with the pets. We will gladly request to have him return.”
“Krystal did a great job! She not only followed instructions but gone above and beyond. She was very patient, spoiled and pet my cat, and sent pics every day. I will definitely book with her to care of my cat again in the future.”

Krystal was everything we could have hoped for in a care giver for our cat Bailey. She sent pictures everyday and obviously made friends with Bailey while we were away. Bailey was very content and in great shape when we returned. We will definitely be asking her to be our pet sitter in the future.

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 .
