“Thank you so much for giving me an amazing experience and easy first time booking a sitter for my two babies on Rover! Great communication and surprisingly my shy boy Ramsay I saw loved greeting you and purring ☺️”
“Our cat is usually very very shy and would never show herself to people other than family, but Kati was able to befriend her during her short stay, which was a relieve for us. She made sure our cat had some nice company while we were away and we would definitely ask Kati to take care of our cat again on a different trip.”
“Katerina did a wonderful job with our cat. She showed up when expected, managed his medications, food water and litter pan. She also kept in touch and posted pics/videos. The house was locked up and the alarm was set when she left. I will be scheduling her again.”
“Ashley took great care of my cats, followed instructions, and sent pictures each day of their play time. One of my shy cats came out to play with her each day. Would book again!”
“Becca did a great job watching my cat—super responsive and easy to work with. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I need a sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Kelsey watched our cat for a week while we were out of town. She was always on time, took great photos and took excellent care of “our boy.” An issue came up with our garage door opening on its own, and Kelsey quickly got in touch with us and manually closed the door. And she made sure our house was secure. She made us feel completely secure knowing our house and our cat were being taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey’s services again.”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Christina. This was my first time ever using a cat sitter service. I travel overseas during the holidays and have always only trusted my friends to check on my cats. I needed extra help during my last trip over Christmas last year. I did a lot of research and after much anxiety and nervousness I reached out to Christina. From the very start before I left until I returned home, Christina was amazing. She was patient with my many many questions. She put me at ease right away. She gave me great advice but made it clear that the decisions were all up to me and the cats. She was incredibly flexible and was more than willing to adjust the schedule as I needed. She always replied immediately and was reassuring, honest, kind, and trustworthy. Never for one minute did I worry about the cats or my home. One of my cats has diabetes and even though I had a cat nurse visit to administer the insulin, Christina was happy to document the feeding schedule and keep the nurse updated as necessary too. It was a lot to handle and it was all handled perfectly. She also helped me with watering my plants and checking my mail AND went out and bought extra food for one of my cats when his food ran out! The best part of course was when she met the cats. They both took to her immediately, even my younger cat who is very curious but also very nervous. When I was gone on my trip, Christina sent me daily photos and updates. All of her posts made me feel safe and secure and also entertained because she was bonding more and more with them. When I returned the cats were extremely well as was the house and she met me the next day to return my keys. I highly recommend Christina for taking care of your furry family members and home. I will definitely be booking her again whether a shorter trip during this year or Christmas 2020. Thank you so much Christina!! Marvin and Moby say hi!”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs for over 30 years and truly treat every animal like my own. I know every pet is different, so I always adjust my care to what makes them feel safest, happiest and most comfortable. I’m very comfortable following detailed routines and have experience caring for sick pets, including giving medications, injections and IV fluids. I also make sure their space stays clean, from litter boxes to food and water dishes. Most importantly, I want pets to feel loved, understood and well cared for while their people are away. I’m retired, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout the week and can easily accommodate different routines, visit times and care needs. I take your pet’s routine and your instructions seriously and will care for them just as you would. I’m attentive to their behavior, comfort and individual needs, and I always keep their space clean and tidy. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable while you’re away.
“Sara did a great job looking after my cat for a week. He is not always keen on new people but has warmed up quickly to Sara. He has his own room which made for a comfortable stay. I provided some tunnels, boxes and toys to give him a touch of home. Thank you for making my absence easier with the many pics of him.”
“Karina is truly the ultimate cat lover. She sent pics and videos of the love of my life while I was out of town. She’s kept me up to date and I know she loved on my Gavriel as much as I would if I were at home. Made me feel at peace knowing he was cared for in such a great way!”
“Doug was excellent - did a pre-visit and asked a number of questions to make sure he knew exactly what to do. He also sent photos during the visit so I could see the cats were doing well too. Will be requesting another series of visits!”
“Mallory was wonderful, we booked her to drop in on our 2 cats for 2 weeks. Every day she fed and watered them, emptied the litterbox, gave them some love and treats! It saved us so much stress knowing she was watching them!”
“Dorothy was great to work with! She was very communicative with her visits, and our cat was happy to see her when she stopped by. We came to a well taken care of home and kitty 😊 Would recommend and book with her again!”
“Abigail is a great cat sitter. She made a point of visiting our apartment before she started looking after Dash, which put us at ease. She kept us updated on him with photos and observations. She even offered to stop by outside the scheduled time to refill his water. I recommend her!”
About: I have had pets (dogs, cats, horses, fish) since I was a baby. Caring for them feels like a natural task! I have pet sat for many neighbors and friends, and I would love to share some love with your pets as well :) I work as a nurse 3 days a week, so I have 4 days off that I would love to spend with your pets! My schedule changes weekly but I am very flexible with my off days. I love pet parents who know what their pets need. Leave me with simple instructions and I will follow your lead! I love to clean as well, so you won’t have to worry about returning home to a mess.
“Jason agreed to check in on the cats semi-last minute - and did a great job as usual! I definitely recommend him and will be hiring him for more cat care in the future!”
About: For me, working with dogs is a transformative journey that not only improves our understanding of dogs, but more significantly, provides profound insights into ourselves. I will work with you to effectively communicate with dogs to extend your relationship into the purest, most authentic form. I hope that you embrace this opportunity for growth, learning and the cultivation of a deeper connection with dogs, family, community and yourself. I look forward to witnessing the incredible transformations that will take place within each of you and your dogs. I've grown up around dogs. Over the past 20 years my family has rescued 4 Siberian Huskies. I'm offering local families the opportunity to work with me to walk, train and check in on your pets. Outside of my formal dog training certification, I am enrolled in veterinary technician school and working full time at a local veterinary clinic. I do not offer in home boarding service, but I'm more than to come to your to your home or meet for a pack walk or training.

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 .
