“Colin was wonderful with our cat, Lily. She's it's normally very shy and will hide when new people enter her life, but Colin was able to gain her trust and get her to come out of her shell. He did a great job and I highly recommend him.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Leone received! Thank you for taking such great care of him, making sure he was fed, and spending time playing with him while we were away. I would highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, and I will absolutely use you again in the future!”
“Took great care of my blind senior cat with anxiety issues. She listened to instructions well and asked good clarifying questions. I would have no problem using her again.”
“This was our second time having Amy sit with Bela and George. She takes such good care of them and makes sure they have lots of play time and get lots of brushing! They love the attention !”
About: Let me bring your dog on an adventure - my dog walks start at $20 but I do hikes on a sliding scale. I have group play experience, I can bring your dog to a dog park without any fear that your dog will get into any sort of trouble. I'm a quiet, clean, petsitter, I will likely leave your house cleaner than it was when you let me in. "I have worked with Kae, of Little Lyons, for about a year. He is contentious, dedicated, and loving to all the people and pets he comes into contact with. I highly recommend his services and happily look forward to working with him again in the future." - Nicole E. "Kae dogsits for me when I go away on business trips or go into Boston for the weekend, and I could not recommend him more highly! He is caring and attentive to my dog; my dog gets so excited to see him. My dog is medium to high energy and Kae always tires her out. He is extremely knowledgable about dogs and dog behavior and has given me several tools to help keep my dog more mentally engaged and less stressed. Kae is punctual, he remembers all sorts of details about every dog, and he is my go-to whenever I need someone. Best dog sitter/walker in the Providence area!" - Kate R. I have worked with a doggy daycare, where I learnt dog behavior, and positive reinforcement training. I have worked in home pet sitting for dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, tortoises, geckos, bearded lizards, salt and fresh water fish, for over a decade. Schedule a meet and greet with your pets! LGBTQIA+ friendly, Disability and Sensory Friendly I am a chronically ill artist who has kept strange hours for a very long time. I can fit your furry (or scaly or feathered) family into my schedule without issue. You can rest assured while I am with your pets that they will be well attended to. A typical visit includes 15-20 minutes of play with your pet depending on energy levels, lots of positive attention and love, feeding and making sure they have access to water and making sure any business is done. As an overnight visitor, often for pets with anxiety or special needs/senior pets, I am with your pet in your home from 10pm-8am, plus visits during any of their usual scheduled feedings.
“Colleen has been great with Kira for multiple visits. Kira has significant medical issues right now and Colleen has worked well around those issues. She is very easy to communicate with and gives good feedback from the visit.”
“Bonnie is so great with Sarsaparilla. She can sometimes be a feisty girl and it takes time for her warm up to people, but Bonnie is so patient and kind. And I always know she's taking such good care of my cat, because even if Sarsaparilla plays hard to get when Bonnie is here, she sits at the door waiting for her to come back!”
About: I’ve typically only cared for friends pets (cats & dogs) my role was feeding, playing (included filming some tiktoks & take selfies), taking the dogs out to potty, and putting them in their crate for bedtime. I’m always down to learn more so I can be a better fit in your dog’s life. I’m an introvert but animals bring out my fun side. This is currently my stream of income, and I don’t start my classes until November so my time is pretty flexible at the moment. We can always communicate and build a schedule together, but I’m always down to spend time with your pups! I work very well with direct directions. Do’s and Dont’s are very important to me (ex: if there’s something your pet doesn’t like/or does, any type of aggression, routines, etc..). Anything that can help me create a great relationship with your pet and you! I want them to feel safe with me, and I want you to be able to trust me while I care for them. I love playing with dogs & cats but I also know to respect their space when they need it. I will always clean up after your pet if needed (any accidents in the house or outside). A safe, healthy, and fun environment is what I try to create.
“Elizabeth did a great job with our pets. Our one cat requires 3 meds daily for a heart condition. She administered the meds and also alerted us of an issue with the volume left in one bottle which led to a shipping issue with the vendor. We were able to resolve it immediately, so he wasn't without his one med for too long. She took care of the geckos and their crazy diets with ease. We definitely trusted and will continue to trust Elizabeth with our animal's care. She did amazing!”
About: I have over 20 years of personal experience with my own cats and dogs, and about 6 years of doggy daycare experience. From pack leader to poop scooper, I enjoy it all :) I was recently laid off from work and now have plenty of time to do what I love! I would like to keep my hours around 6am - 8pm, but am willing to be more flexible if you need. Safety is always a priority. Before deciding to take care of your animal, I make sure we can work together with respect, from both sides. That way, we can build trust and have a stressless, safe time together.
“Blaise was great with our cat, Beefaroni. Blaise was always on time, stayed for the whole 30 minutes and gave us cute pictures and nice updates. We felt very secure leaving Beefy with Blaise and knew he was in good hands. So glad we got to work with him and that he took such good care of our special boy. We would happily book again.”
“Donna was very good with my cats as far as I can tell. She kept me updated on how my cats were doing, which can be hard since they are both shy and don’t usually come out for people.”
“My cats were well cared for while we were gone. Dee had good open communication with us while caring for our cats, she asked questions if something wasn't clear and was very honest with us about everything. Thank you Dee!”
“Priscilla was awesome with our three kitties. Two of them are very skittish with strangers and she got one of them to warm up to her to the point where he allowed her to pat him. She asked for various tips to make the cats comfortable with her. We would definitely ask her to come back!”

Emily was very reliable and caring coming by to check on my cat Henry while I was on vacation. He was a little shy at first but warmed up to her after a few visits. I had peace of mind knowing he was being taken care of while I was away. I liked the pictures she sent with the daily visit update. I would definitely recommend Emily if you need someone to tale care of your pets while ypu are away.
Mariah took care of our cats and Leopard geckos over Christmas break. The geckos ran out of crickets because they all decided to die (pretty common) so she went to the pet store and got them more which was above and beyond what was expected. She was persistent when it came to catching our kitty that needs his heart meds each day and knows how to play a good game of hide and seek to try to keep away. We know our animals are safe with Mariah and our house too as she also brought in packages that arrived while we were 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.
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 .
