“Gulcin took amazing care of my two cats. I boarded them at her home and they could not have been more comfortable, happier, or better cared for. Would absolutely recommend this sitter.”
“Over the course of the eight days that Charles took care of my two dogs, and my bird, I received reports two times a day on how far they walked, see pictures and a detailed map of where they walked. Charles was highly responsive, even when I was halfway across the world on vacation. He gave words of encouragement about my trip and was glad to know that I came back safely. Upon my return, my dogs were super excited to see me, but they were very well taken care of. Would highly recommend Charles and the use of Rover as a way to make sure that your pets are cared for while you are away on vacation! I highly recommend Charles to take care of your babies will definitely do this again. Bailey, Fifi & Babu-thank you Mr. Charles!!!!!!❤️❤️”
About: As an animal lover since childhood, I’ve had the joy of caring for both dogs and cats throughout my life, including my own two cats and a dog. My pet care experience includes feeding, walking, grooming, and basic training. I’m a patient and active caregiver who believes that every animal deserves love, kindness, and quality care. My passion for animals ensures that I'll provide the best possible care for your pets while you're away.//Si puedo hablar español! In addition to my full-time job from 9AM-5:30PM, I make sure to spend quality time with my own pets every day. For pet care services, I’m available on weekdays from 6AM-9PM, as well as all day on Saturdays and Sundays. This allows me to provide dedicated care to your furry companions, while still ensuring that my own pets are well taken care of. Just send me a message and I can let you know! When caring for pets in the client’s home, I make sure to follow their pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walking, and grooming schedules. I always treat the home with respect and keep it tidy and secure as I do for my own. I believe that communication is key, so I provide the owners with regular updates and photos of their beloved pets while they’re away. This gives them peace of mind and reassurance that their pets are in good hands.

About: Pet care is second nature to me—I’m a trusted go-to in my community and a pet boutique owner who truly understands animals, routines, and individual needs I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekday evenings, with a flexible schedule that allows for midday walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily rhythm, and I love every minute of it! I live in a pet-friendly community with a dog park just steps away! My home is smoke-free, very clean, and full of love. I have a toy poodle named Polo who is super friendly and loves having his fur pals over. Your pet will enjoy a safe, welcoming space with playtime, snuggles, and fresh air.
“Courtney did a great job for us!! One of our cats is really shy, one is very complacent and one is very outgoing! The cats were well taken care of and the house was swept clean from all the litter that seems to travel through the entire house!! She sent pictures everyday and was extremely prompt every day. I would definitely recommend Courtney and would definitely hire her again! 5 Stars!!”
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I bring a unique blend of skills and compassion to my pet-sitting services. My volunteer work, experience fostering over 40 dogs and puppies, and working at an animal rescue during nursing school taught me to handle animals with diverse needs, from playful pups to shy rescues. I’ve trained my own dogs and worked with dogs of all sizes, from tiny terriers to giant breeds, giving me insight into creating trust and understanding with pets. I’m also experienced in administering medications to both cats and dogs, and I specialize in helping anxious pets feel safe and loved. My genuine passion for animals drives me to provide attentive, tailored care to every furry friend. I am currently a nurse who only works 3 days per week! This allows different availability every week, which can give flexibility to tailor to your schedule. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I stick closely to their routine, ensuring familiarity and comfort. From feeding and walks to cuddles and play, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. I also maintain open communication, sending regular updates to keep owners reassured.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Myers
Emily is WONDERFUL! She took excellent care of my 2 cats. Checking self feeder, handing out treats, refilling water fountain and keeping litter boxes clean. Emily took time each visit to play and provide loving attention. She even made friends quickly with my timid cat. Pictures were sent to me every day. My flights were delayed and Emily offered to extend her care without my asking. I highly recommend her and have already scheduled another booking with her.
Brooke really helped us with our kitty when we were in a time crunch. She did everything we asked her to do along with making our kitty feel comfortable. He’s a shy boy too, but really seemed to enjoy when she came to check on him! Definitely will be booking again.
We were in a bind. Ran off to vacation and forgot to feed our poor boy Armin. I reached out and Isabella responded quickly. She couldn’t get there when we requested but we worked it out. She arrived earlier than expected and did everything quickly and professionally. She communicated and made sure to send pics. She’s very nice and I definitely will use her again.

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 .
