“Kaylee communicated with us twice a day with photos even though we had a 6 hour time difference. One cat came out for her just fine, the other was too shy, but she gave it her all! She took the needed steps to leave our home secure and make our pets feel cared for, she spent plenty of time with them and it shows, much better than even we have “paid a friend to drop in” given that we were traveling internationally, it was the best investment we could make!”
“I can do nothing but recommend Marisa! she's always so attentive, loving, and accommodating. her and my mink have become such good friends over the time Marisa has been watching her. she's very responsive and takes her time every visit to make sure mink is taken care of and has a good time. 💞💞”
“Benjamin took excellent care of our cat and bearded dragon while we were out of town this past weekend. He was very friendly, responsive, and gave us great updates. Our pets were in good hands! Will 100% be booking him again!”
“Great sitter! Went above and beyond taking care of Maomao. We were gone for two and half a weeks and everything was handled to a tee! Even things we didn’t require Michelle to do she did it. 10/10 would hire Michelle again to take care of Maomao.”
About: I've grown up with animals my entire life and have been caring for them as long as I can remember. For the past three years, I've worked at a local animal shelter, giving me experience in caring for cats and dogs with a range of personalities and behavioral needs. I'm also comfortable giving medication to pets if needed. In addition, I have dog sat for family friends before, so I have experience in this type of care. I have also foster four different dogs that have all gotten adopted, so I'm used to many different personalities. I work part-time four days a week so I can easily find time to care for your animals around that! On Sundays and Mondays I can drop in before 7:30 am or after 12 pm and on Tuesdays and Fridays I can drop in before 2 pm or after 6pm. I am willing to do whatever fits your pet's routine during my drop in visits. I would love to spend time with them each day and make sure they have a great time while you're away. I can crate pets as needed. I'm very flexible on the type of care I'm asked to provide.
“Cat was great and has a lot of understanding of dogs, which she used to give my guys such great service. Good notes, clear communication, excellent rapport with the pets.”
“Diana was so great with my kitties Lira and Tzuki. She gave detailed updates and sent super cute pictures. I have a lot of anxiety being away from the kitties and she totally understood that and made me feel more at ease! She took notes and was patient with them. I felt like my kitties received excellent care :)”
About: We have had family dogs since I was a young girl. Since moving out on my own, I wanted to get a dog, but was not home frequently enough, initially with work & school obligations. I got 2 cats in the summer of 2023 & am wanting to help others care for their pets, as I find myself missing engagement with dogs & other family pets 💛 I am going to be working part-time and going to school part-time, which will be a reduction in my current schedule load. I am excited as this presents me with the opportunity to spend more time with pets! ❤️ This will also allow me the opportunity to “try on” the responsibility of caring for a dog and workshop any “need areas” before getting my own dog ☺️ I have a fenced-in yard and 2 cats live in my home. I have plenty of space to share in my townhouse & my neighborhood is conveniently walkable. There is another dog who lives next door, who is friendly & can keep your doggy company if you desire. I can easily crate your pup in an uncarpeted area, if necessary.
“She was really nice and very patient with one of my shy cats. She went above and beyond her job duties by picking up the cats’ food from the store and tidying up the space more neatly than it was left.”
“David has been a fantastic help to our family over the past year. My cat has an unusual fondness to being pushed down the bike trail in a buggy and David has been there to help us thru all seasons!! He is very personable, gentle and kind. I would recommend him as a pet sitter for anyone who loves their feline friends.”
About: Ive been around animals for a decent part of my life. I’ve grown fond of having animals around, with 3 of my own kitties. I’m very diligent and patient with all animals. I can handle pups that pull. I’m versatile and work with all breeds. I strive to satisfy not only you , but also your pups. I would love to be a part of your fur babies journey!! :) I am fully available and very flexible with scheduling. I’d love to grow in experience and gain the skills I need to best take care of your pets(Home Experience Not Professional) I’m always available to take a stroll, play, and hang out with your fur babies. I will do my best to keep them happy and let them sight see. Thank you for the opportunity. I will always respect your space and follow the directions you give me. I appreciate good communication so that I can give the best service.
“Brittany had cared for my 2 cats before short-term, but recently took care of them for 2 weeks. Communication was excellent and her determination to try to get my stubborn cat to socialize was great (even if it was to no avail). Thoughtful and sweet, it's a pleasure having Brittany care for my cats.”
“Dan continues to be reliable and trustworthy. It can be scary trying to find someone that you trust with your fur babies, but Dan continuously offers us peace of mind that they’re in great hands. 🙂”
“Stephanie has been great! This is the second time she's watched my greyhound Chuck in 3 weeks now. She's very communicative and even once was able to change his food on the fly (he's having some belly issues) while I was out of town. She has the utmost concern for the animal's well being. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be booking again.”
About: I provide loving, attentive, and reliable care for dogs of all breeds and sizes, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away.

I pay close attention to each pet's personality and needs, ensuring they receive plenty of affection, exercise, and attention while maintaining a safe and clean environment. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and stress-free while their family is away.
“Took great care of my cat while i was on vacation with my family, attentive and reliable, sent me photos and updates during the time i was away. Would certainly recommend to anyone, I will be confident in having Miranda care for my fur baby again in the future.”
“Monica was again, able to provide 5-star sitter services for my Big Guy. Long walks, drop in visits, feedings, pictures and great communication. I would highly recommend her for pet care needs. Thank you again Monica, Ripley is so happy when you visit him!”

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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. 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 .
