“Julia took great care of our two cats while we were away. She checked on them each day, kept their bowls filled and their litter boxes clean, and played with them. We looked forward to hearing from her each visit. And she braved an historic snowstorm to do so! Thank you for going above and beyond, Julia! We look forward to working with her in the future.”
“Jade is hands down the best pet sitter I've ever hired. She followed all instructions exactly. She was on time for all drop in visits and took her time to do things right. All of her commutation was professional with just the right about of detail. She also got great pictures of both my cats, even the one who hides from everyone.”
“Samantha is fantastic! She takes great care of our four older kitties. Our fur babies are pretty shy but they come right out for Samantha. Totally recommend her!”
“Natalia was fantastic! She showed up on time, kept everything clean (including washing the food bowls), and sent daily photo updates which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our cats were clearly well cared for and comfortable. We would absolutely book with her again.”
“Kelsey is wonderful. We knew Kelsey was a good match BUT we were 100% in when our two dogs were instantly relaxed with her . This is not the case more often than not for our Chi mix . Kelsey provides updates when she arrives and based on pictures she sends Milo and Lili are on totally board with their new friend. Even with current higher than normal temps, she is aware of the heat , pavement temp and keeping Lili and Milo in the shade so they do not overheat. Thank you Kelsey! This has been a huge help to us and we appreciate you taking good care of our furbabies. PS our cat, Waffles, seems to be passing on his overly rambunctious love to Kelsey also!!”
“Nora is a fantastic pet sitter. She's conscientious, detailed, and compassionate. My cat got some dental work done just before our trip. Nora was incredibly diligent with his extra care needs. I highly recommend booking Nora for cat/house sitting.”
“Jacqueline was a great sitter and I’d highly recommend her! She took amazing care of my kitties while I was away for a week and gave me comfort knowing they’d be in good hands. My cats will definitely miss her!”
“Katie is amazing! She is very friendly and trustworthy, and my cats warmed up to her immediately. She closely follows instructions, and she is great at communication. I am happy to be able to rely on Katie to take care of my cats :)”
“Hunter was our first pet sitter from Rover. We were a bit nervous to let a stranger into our home to watch our precious furry princess while we were away, but after meeting with Hunter during the meet and greet, we could immediately tell she was kind, polite, respectful of our home & cat, and she was very knowledgeable about pet care. While we were away, she followed our care directions to the letter, regularly sent us super cute photos of our kitty, and gave us updates. She even went above and beyond to water our basil plants which she didnt need to do, but was just another example of how great and thoughtful she is. Overall, she did a stellar job. We will absolutely hire her again, and we are so thankful for her excellent care of our shy cat. If you're looking for a responsible, attentive, and caring pet sitter, we cannot say enough good things about Hunter. She is the best!”
“M did a great job watching our cats! They are a great communicator and we felt comfortable leaving our cats in their care! Would recommend M to take care of your pets!”
“Callan is excellent. He’s pet sit at my home before for our two dogs and drop ins. He is incredibly reliable and continues to be great with our dogs. Thank you Callan!”
About: I have been cat sitting for over 20 years and have two of my own, brother and sister Monte Cristo and Muffuletta. I provide calm, loving care that respects each cat’s unique personality, whether they’re playful, independent, or a little shy. I make sure your cat’s daily routine stays consistent and that they receive plenty of attention, affection (on their terms!), and care while you’re away. I currently work 3:30 pm to 10:30 pm Wednesday through Saturday. This leaves me with mornings and days open or late night availability if needed. Mail retrieval services available. I’m an attentive cat sitter who understands feline behavior, health, and comfort. I have experience caring for cats of all ages, including shy cats, seniors, and those with special routines. I follow instructions carefully, keep spaces clean, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your cat is in good hands.
“Bethany truly went above and beyond for a last-minute drop-in after a schedule change kept us out of town overnight. Not only were our pets taken care of as asked, but they were played with, loved on, and our home was left better than we left it - with dishes and feeding mats washed and cleaned and litter boxes checked and attended to. We were truly blown away and so grateful after a long day. We feel completely confident in this sitter’s abilities and will absolutely be return clients.”
“Olivia did a wonderful job house sitting and caring for our two cats. One of our cats is older with a few health issues and he gets pills twice a day in addition to a specific feeding schedule. Olivia was so excellent at keeping our kitty on his schedule and also keeping us informed along the way. Our house was in perfect condition when we got home and our kitties were happy & healthy! I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone!”
About: Your custom care is here. I’ve taken care of German Shepherds and small teacup poodles. Let me know what you need and I will do my best! I’m a full-time teacher so I get out of school at four so I can walk your dog then. I work in Hartford so I can also let your fur baby out on my break. Let me know if you need me watch or sit any of your pets over the weekend. Blessings! I live in a large condo association with lots of paved areas to walk. Some elevation and other friendly dogs around here. There’s a large vacant parking lot if they want to throw a ball or frisbee. There is a trail nearby if they want to walk in the woods or on rocks and dirt.
About: Hi there! My name is Ellie, and I’m a passionate animal lover with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have pups of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member — and I treat every pet I meet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk to burn off energy, a drop-in to check on meals and snuggles, or full-on overnight care, I’ve got you covered. I’m reliable, patient, and fully committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them the care they deserve! I currently work full-time during the day, but pet care is truly a passion of mine and a fulfilling part of my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins and walks in the early mornings before work and in the evenings after I get home. In some cases, I’m also able to swing by during my lunch break for a quick visit, depending on location and timing. I also offer overnight stays, which allows me to spend quality, uninterrupted time with your pet — perfect for dogs who need extra comfort or company while you’re away. While my weekday daytime availability is limited, I’m dependable, communicative, and always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve when I’m with them! When your pet is in my care, their well-being is my top priority. I understand that every animal has their own unique needs, routines, and personalities — and I take the time to get to know them so I can provide care that makes them feel safe, seen, and loved. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, with patience, affection, and respect. I’m mindful, responsible, and always keep safety at the forefront — whether that’s making sure harnesses are secure, sticking to feeding instructions, or giving them their favorite toy at just the right moment. I believe animals know when someone truly cares for them — and I make it my mission to create a peaceful, loving environment where your pet can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

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 .
