“Chandra is the best! She takes immaculate care of our cat and chickens and is always happy to go above and beyond to water plants, bring in mail etc. ensuring peace of mind when we’re gone. Thanks Chandra!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, family have all relied on me to walk, pet sit, feed, and care for their pets. I currently work remotely with tons of opportunities for breaks to walk your pup(s). I am also frequently available on weekends and holidays morning, noon, and night. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. When caring for pets in their home, I take the time to learn their schedule, preferences, and unique personalities so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, medication, litter box maintenance, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, as well as cats of all ages, including kittens and seniors. As a kitten foster and senior cat owner, I'm comfortable administering medications and providing extra care when needed. I also make sure pet parents stay updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family members are happy and well cared for at home.
“Cady is amazing. My cats were clearly well loved and super happy to have her around. She asked thoughtful questions and followed through on the answers. I got consistent regular updates showing my cats snuggling and playing. There was clear communication, and it gave me such peace of mind to know my fur babies were in good hands. Thanks Cady!!!”
“Lizz has been one of our most trusted and dependable sitters here in the Ferndale/Bellingham area. She is so kind and enthusiastic in her care of Apollo, follows our care instructions perfectly, and helps keep our anxious and elderly cat company when we have to be away from home due to healthcare appointments. We highly recommend Lizz and will continue to book her!”
“Emily took wonderful care of my cat for two weeks while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure all of his needs were met, including feeding, cleaning the litter box, and spending quality time with him. I especially appreciated the daily updates and photos she sent, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to see how he was doing each day.”
“Azure was wonderful with our three cats! She was timely and excellent with communication. It was obvious that she was passionate about taking care of them. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again!”
“This is the third time I’ve had Judith care for my cats while I was away and she is prompt, caring and plays with my cats who have challenges with health issues. I’m very grateful to her thoroughness and regular updates which allows me to relax while I’m away. I highly recommend her.”
“Jenna is a treasure! We are so thrilled we found a caring, reliable, trustworthy person to take care of our furbabies while we’re away! She did an excellent job caring for each of our cats, with very different personalities & needs. She left us detailed notes, lots of pictures & kept us updated the whole time we were away! Peace of mind is priceless - she’s worth every penny & more! Book with her, you’ll be glad you did!”
“Sophia & The Rover service were all amazing. First time users and will be returning (to hopefully book Sophia) on our next out of town get away. Sophia had a connection with our cats that was immediate and left us with no worries while we were gone. Well taken care of with tons of pics which is one of the best features of this service. I can’t give a higher recommendation than to book Sophia through Rover to take care of your animals while you are away.”
“Bodhi is incredible! My cats are always excited to see him, wanting to play and cuddle. Bodhi is incredibly reliable, responsive, and the best pet sitter. I’m very, very grateful. Thank you!”
About: Hello! As a lifelong cat owner and recent but enthusiastic dog sitter/walker, I'm prepared to give your pets the dedicated, stress-free care they deserve right in the comfort of their own home. Over the past year, my professional experience has focused heavily on high-quality drop-in visits for my dedicated clients. To round out my professional experience, I spent last summer walking my sister's dog, which gave me great real-world experience managing a pup out on a leash. Safe, Attentive Drop-Ins & Walks: Whether I am stopping by for a drop-in visit or taking your dog for a stroll, safety is my absolute highest priority. Before stepping out the front door, I perform a thorough security check on all harnesses, collars, and leashes to prevent any sudden escapes. I track our route closely and actively avoid chaotic environments or un-introduced dogs. Your pup will get a fantastic mix of mental stimulation, healthy exercise, and fresh air. 🗓️ Service Schedule & Weight Limits: Drop-Ins: Monday through Saturday — Up to 100 lbs. Dog Walking: Monday, Wednesday, Friday — Up to 60 lbs (must be well leash-trained). Core Visiting Hours: 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. (Please Note: I am unavailable for early morning visits before 10:00 AM or late-night visits after 8:00 PM). Core Walking Hours: 10:00 AM to Sunset/Dusk (Please Note: For pet safety and visibility, I do not schedule outdoor walks after daylight hours.) Booking Buffer: I require a minimum of 3 days' notice for all new clients so we can comfortably schedule a required Meet & Greet prior to booking. ● To maintain a safe and trustworthy environment, a brief, 15-minute Meet & Greet is mandatory for all first-time clients before a booking can be confirmed. ● I am highly proactive about pet wellness and am currently planning to expand my skill set with formal pet first aid training in the near future. ● Please note that clients must provide all necessary cleaning supplies for their pets' spaces.
About: I have a large dog and cat currently, I have experience with all ages and sizes of both animals. I am very particular with who I trust with my animals and extend that same care when caring for others animals. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I work from 6:00 PM to 2:00 AM, so I am available during the day from about 9:00 AM until I leave for work. This gives me plenty of flexibility to provide feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, or other pet care needs throughout the day. I have both a cat and a dog at home, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different needs and personalities. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or clean litter, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine and the owner’s instructions closely so their pets feel safe and comfortable while they’re away. I also respect the client’s home and make sure everything is clean, secure, and taken care of before I leave.
“Darien was fantastic with our cat! She usually won’t come out for anyone she doesn’t know, but by the second day she did and ended up greeting her! She has just the right calm energy for her and we will call her every time we need a cat sitter! She has been so helpful taking care of things, we couldn’t be more pleased.”
“I don’t even know if I have the words to describe how amazing Ashley is as a sitter!! She was so thorough and left very detailed notes after each visit which I really appreciated. My cats are my babies and any time I’m away, I unbearably miss them. This was the first time where I missed them a little less because of all the pictures, videos, and cute notes Ashley sent. It really felt like I was still there with them. I knew they were in great hands and I could see how much they enjoyed her company. She also went above and beyond for my cat’s medical conditions and learned how to administer their medications/treatments. I truly cannot say enough good things about her, and highly recommend her. We look very forward to working with her again!”
“Skylar was great with our elderly cat Lucky! Lucky usually hides from anyone who isn’t family, but she let Skylar take her picture and even accepted Nulo Treat from her. Skylar was flexible as our schedule changed a little and even helped us navigate the Rover app. I highly recommend her.”
“Morgan is always very communicative and really cares about Champ’s wellbeing! She already knows his mannerisms and can tell when he needs extra attention even after only seeing him a few times so far!”
“As always, Braelyn did a great job taking mg care of my cats! They’re always so happy to see her and she always takes the time to actually spend time with them beyond the usual pet sitting things- she gives them lots of attention and pets, plays with them, and makes sure they don’t feel too lonely while I’m gone. I highly recommend Braelyn for your pet sitting needs!”
“Sophia was fantastic! One of my cats got so stressed missing us that he ended up having blood in his urine - she spotted it and communicated to me right away so we could get him to a vet and get meds. She was a great communicator and clearly very sweet and caring with my boys. I will definitely book her again! Thank you!”

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 .
