“Thank you so much, Anna, for taking such wonderful care of my cat! You were very attentive and thoughtful, and everything looked great while I was away. I truly appreciate your help and would be happy to book with you again!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner and animal lover for over 10 years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I have a sweet and friendly Bichon Poodle of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pup. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, daily routines, and lots of love and companionship. I always do my best to help every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home, and I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates while they’re in my care. I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I can also adjust my schedule to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. I live in a single-family home with a fully fenced yard, providing a safe and comfortable space for dogs to play and relax. I always follow each pet parent’s care instructions, including feeding, walking, medication, and house rules. I keep a close eye on the dogs in my care and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
About: I've had dogs my entire life, from a black lab to an airdale terrier to a peekapoo, and I am the go-to dog sitter for friends and family. These days I'm mom to Coach, my 5-year-old chihuahua mix, who is my whole world. I love all animals and treat every pup like my own—plenty of walks, playtime, and sticking to their usual routine. Comfortable with senior care, medication, and high-energy dogs alike. Your dog will get the same care I'd give my own! I work remotely so my schedule is very flexible. I have a very flexible weekday schedule, so midday walks, playtime, and drop-in check-ins are no problem. I'm also available for dog walking and house sitting most evenings and weekends. Your pup will have plenty of company and stick to their normal routine! Your pup's comfort comes first. I'm a dog mom myself—my chihuahua mix Coach is my whole world—so I know how it feels to leave them in someone else's hands. I'll keep to your routine exactly, follow your rules to the letter, and send plenty of photo updates so you're never wondering how they're doing. Walks are always on leash in safe areas, on your dog's favorite routes.

I have experience giving medicine and eye drops for dogs. I’m also happy to learn any other medical care needs if needed!

My daily/weekly routine just consists of working and hanging out with friends! Unfortunately I can not host pet sitting at my home for my land owner doesn’t allow pets inside, but if I were to work at your home, I would act accordingly with respect!

She sent great photos and detailed recaps of their walks and play time every day. Communication was quick and easy. She even sent pics and interacted with our cat whom she was not looking in on. Thank you so much Melissa!!”

He remembered every detail of my cats' care that we went over, he is immediate in answering all texts, he is right on schedule every day. He is very well spoken, friendly, trustworthy and respectful to human beings as well! My cats let me know that they loved him when I got back home from being away. I will always ask Elisandro when I go out of town, and I highly recommend him!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Lee
This is my first time using any sort of pet sitting service so I was understandably a bit nervous about the idea of leaving my cat alone in a new apartment with a stranger checking in on them. Meredith made my anxiety go away as soon as we met and I saw the way she interacted with my cat. She is going to be my first stop any time I’m in need of pet care moving forward and she should be yours as well.
Mia did a phenomenal job taken care of my two kitties. Excellent communication, incredibly responsible, and followed the care instructions perfectly. Everything was perfect. Her love for animals is clear through her dedication to providing high quality care. Strongly recommended! Thank you Mia!
Aisha is a great communicator and has taken care of our cat several times now. I love getting daily updates and cute photos. I feel comfortable going away and know that I can trust Aisha to provide excellent care and of course give lots of snuggles to Georgie. Thank you 😻
As always, Gwen was incredibly attentive to our two cats and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable and well cared for while we were away on a long vacation. She even made thoughtful suggestions to improve their comfort and kept us updated throughout our trip. Gwen is extremely communicative, responsible, and dependable, and we always feel at ease knowing our cats are in her care.
Alexandria took care of my two kitties for 2 weeks while I was away. It was my first time using her and I was very nervous. However, when she came over to meet me and the kitties I was very impressed with her. She answered all of my concerns and had a lot of good questions of her own about my cats and their care. I felt very comfortable letting her into my home and taking care of my cats. I was not disappointed! She sent me detailed notes and photos every day, and my kitchen was as neat and clean as when I left. If you are looking for someone trustworthy and good with skittish cats, I HIGHLY recommend Alexandria!
Ayanna saved the day for us! We were halfway through a 2 week trip across the world when our original sitter became injured and was unable to continue looking after our cat. We had a crazy time difference and scrambled when we woke up to the messages from the original sitter, realizing our cat hadn’t been visited that day. I found Ayanna and she immediately accepted our extremely panicked last minute request. Within an hour or two, she grabbed the keys from the original sitter and went over to visit and feed our cat. She was a LIFESAVER and we felt so relieved. For the next week we got daily updates, pics, videos, and she kept the space tidy. I would highly recommend Ayanna to look after your pets!!!
Charlie took great care of our two kitties and made sure they got plenty of attention while we were gone. She sent lots of pics and left the apartment in spotless condition despite a few accidents from our guys. She was great at communicating and was very punctual. Would highly recommend!
Alixandrya was amazing!! She made my trip all the more enjoyable knowing I could count on her for taking care of Minnie and he actually warmed up to her and came out to say hello & chat with her! He is very shy and cautious but her kindness and understanding helped him come out of his shell Thanks for taking good care of my boy!!

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
