“Aemelia was great. We and our puppies really enjoyed interacting with her. She was able to accommodate our last minute needs and was very cool about it. We will for sure be contacting her again and again.”
“Jacklyn did a great job taking care of my cat Sully on short notice! She sent multiple pics, gave good updates, and followed my care instructions as I had sent them. Have used her in the past and will continue to going forward!”
“Noah is a caring soul who my sensitive cat liked right away -- cats can tell! He is super reliable, spent time interacting with my cat, and I've already booked him for when I'm out of town again. I'm very glad to have found such a good, local pet-sitter.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to Raven (7 female dog), and Miles (8 female cat) I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets, and I would love to provide them with the same love and attention I give my own! I work from home, so I'm able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day and provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I also have a fenced yard where dogs can safely get fresh air and exercise. My home is used to being around both animals and kids. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs company, playtime, walks, or just a comfortable and caring place to stay, I will treat them like part of the family!
“Breighanna is very thorough & keeps in good contact which we loved-it's great to get updates on your cats while you're away. Our cats required meds in the a.m. & p.m. and she handled it seamlessly! She really went above & beyond by taking time to play and making sure each cat was engaged! Would recommend her to anyone booking, this is someone with a true passion for detail and care with animals!”
“Heather did a great job caring for our sweet elderly cat. Our cat needs daily medication, so we wanted a catsitter who could handle that, which Heather did beautifully. We're very happy and would absolutely hire Heather again!”
“Ace was so amazingly flexible and helpful during a long trip away from home. We booked her originally to care for our cats while we were away for a holiday trip, but when a family emergency came up and we needed to leave early she was able to add more dates to the booking and was right there sending updates and cute photos from home-lifting our mood during a difficult time. Our cats were in great spirits when we returned, and she went above and beyond straightening up their messy litter boxes-so our home felt well cared for as well. Can’t say enough great things about Ace. She’s a treasure and truly a caring person who loves animals.”
About: I grew up with cats, but always found ways to surround myself with dogs, from walking neighbors' pups to helping care for them while they traveled. Growing up with a few independent-minded cats also taught me patience, how to respect their space, and how to create a low-stress, calming environment for all animals. Whether it's dogs or cats, I treat every animal with the highest level of care. As a part-time worker with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the active care, attention, and companionship they need throughout the day! I maintain a safe, stressfree environment tailored to each animal's needs. I strictly follow your pet care instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and prioritize open communication. I constantly monitor pet body language, whether outdoors on walks or relaxing at home, to ensure they feel happy, calm, and safe.
“Ash really put in the time to make a connection with our very shy kitty, even briefly coming over a couple extra times before our trip to meet and connect with her! While we were gone, Ash fed Mari her favorite meals (especially raw mice) and gave her kitty massages. We came home to a relaxed cat who was happy and ready to play with us. We appreciate everything Ash did to make sure our girl (and garden!) were well-cared for during our week away.”
“Ash was extremely accommodating and flexible and easy to communicate with. She is tidy, conscientious, and responds to communications quickly and initiates communication when she has questions. She took great care of our pets and our home.”
“Rachel has been such an amazing help with our two cats, especially now that our senior cats requires daily pills. It’s such relief to know that when we go away we know for sure he will get his medications with Rachel. I’d highly recommend her, and will definitely be booking with her again as needed!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Elmwood
I've left a previous review, but I want to underline it. Jacklyn treats my cat like her own. She's formed a personal connection with my kitty, who loves her. She goes above and beyond when caring for him. He has a chronic condition, and she monitored him and his eating, cleaned up after him, and was active communicating with me regarding what was happening. I trust Jacklyn without hesitation, and it gives me great comfort to know my buddy has her caring for him.
Bri was amazing! It made a very last minute booking but she did a great job of reassuring me that she would, "Take care of those babies." I wasn't able to meet her before she came but she handled my kitties like an absolute legend. Will 1000% be requesting her again. What a rock star!

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 .
