“Tina was absolutely amazing! I had to leave for a few days and she responded so quickly to the request, followed by a meet and greet, and then constant communication throughout the days I was away. She took loving care of my senior kitty (18 years old), which required giving daily medications and cleaning up messes since my elderly baby has trouble with incontinence. Extremely friendly and personable. I highly recommend her to anyone. She put my mind to ease as I was very worried about my girl while away.”
“Marii was great to work with; she had fantastic communication and my cats loved her, clearly having lots of cuddles and playtime in each visit. I appreciated the meet and greet before booking to make sure we were on the same page for care and so she could meet my cats and see their personalities. Looking forward to booking with her again and I'm sure my cats are too lol”
“Brie is super patient and devoted to caring for my cat while I’m traveling for work. She even dropped in for extra days when I feared my cat had gotten stuck or injured. My kitty is very cautious and shy but Brie has managed to break the ice with her and they are slowly becoming friends. I appreciate that she takes the time to gain my cat’s trust.”
“Faith has been phenomenal for the past year that she has been taking care of my cat. She is very professional, responsive, and I always know my cat will be well looked after!”
“Kirsten was fantastic, she did a pre-visit check beforehand and visited our cat early each morning. She sent updates and photos, and let our cat outside to play, just like she’s used to. We would recommend Kirsten and would definitely book her again.”
“Melissa is a very friendly sitter. Our cat connected very quickly with her (to our pleasant surprise as we expected our cat to be shy)! She is very communicative, followed our instructions, asked questions for clarification, and sent pictures and updates. We are very grateful to have had her services paying visits to make sure our cat was okay and taken care of while we were away.”
“Jess was absolutely lovely! She checked in regularly and let me know of any behavior that was potentially worrisome with my pet so that I knew exactly what was going on. I'd definitely recommend her to a friend!”
“Emily took great care of our cats while we were away for a long weekend! She followed instructions to a T and always was on time for her drops ins! Our babies were well cared for and happy!”
“She takes great care of my kitties with their individual needs and is incredibly kind and friendly! I'd recommend her in a heartbeat. She even helped me out with a last minute request due to unexpected travel and is really compassionate.”
About: I've lived with dogs nearly my whole life, and cats for half of it. I have taken care of said pets for years and been an in-family pet sitter on numerous occasions. My mother frequently cares for other pets through apps like this/through friends, and I assist her with that when needed. At the moment, I care for my mother's pets when she leaves town for any length of time (1 small/medium dog, 1 cat). Otherwise, I'm a free agent. Some of the services listed on the app have the potential to overlap (such as a visit and a walk), I don't consider the price to be totally compounding, just let me know and we can figure out what works best. I'd imagine this is on a situational basis. I'll pet/feed/walk them and am able to follow directions as well as any human, should your pet require specific, or unique, handling. I can usually read pet body language pretty well, but have no specific training in it. If there are any areas of confusion for me, I'll be sure to ask questions to make sure your pet is cared for properly.
About: I’m pretty much a full-time stay-at-home dog mom to my two large dogs, so caring for dogs is already a huge part of my everyday life! I’ve spent months working on training with my own dogs and have lots of hands-on experience with different behaviors, routines, and personalities. I’m especially comfortable with large breeds, but I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. Your pup will be treated like part of the family while staying with me, with plenty of attention, playtime, love, and access to my fully fenced-in yard. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone new, so I’ll make sure you feel comfortable and keep you updated with plenty of pictures throughout their stay! Pet care is already a huge part of my everyday routine! I’m home most of the day with my own pets and have a very flexible work schedule, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to provide plenty of potty breaks, playtime, attention, meals on their normal schedule, and lots of time outside throughout the day. I have a fully fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to play and two dogs of my own for company. I always prioritize safe introductions and will make sure your dog is comfortable with mine before their stay. Pets are welcome to make themselves at home, and I can easily separate or crate dogs when needed. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, sleeping, medication, and care routine as closely as possible and provide plenty of updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: Im a retired vet tech who would love to look after your pups while you are away. I will treat them as my own. I can even admin meds if needed . I’m currently a stay at home mom who would love to take care of your pets. My schedule is very flexible and I can adjust to yours as needed . I will always greet your pets with a smile and a pet as I enter your home. I will do everything you need me to do and make sure I clean up as I go.
About: I have been house sitting overnight since I was 14. I have experience working with dogs, cats, mice, and flying squirrels. Believe it or not, I have taken care of dogs who were indoor-trained only.I am also an experienced dog walker- not just with my own dogs but with friends' dogs that I've loved as my own. **serious inquiries only** please do not send me a booking request if you're going to ghost me after I respond or if you plan to book with another sitter. You'd be surprised by how often this happens. I abide by the safety precautions at the homes I stay at (fences, ring cameras, etc). When I stay with indoor cats, I take extra precautions when leaving the house to make sure the cats don't escape.
“Very happy with Jillian as my pet sitter. She communicates well and gives me updates and photos. My Beagle, Sadie, loves her! I highly recommend her. I will definitely be using her again to watch Sadie.”
“Mary took great care of my cat over the weekend. He's usually very shy, but she got him to come out and sent the cutest pictures. She was very kind, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process stress-free.”
About: **I do prefer that we do a 30 minute meet & greet with your pets to ensure I am a good fit prior to booking** Welcome to my profile! With extensive experience in caring for a variety of dog breeds, particularly Australian Shepherds, my passion for fostering a positive relationship with both pet owners and their beloved animals is at the forefront of my pet care philosophy. As a dedicated and gentle pet owner, I aspire to create a nurturing environment for your pets while providing them with the attention and care they deserve. Beyond dogs, my caregiving expertise extends to rabbits, cats, reptiles, ducks, chickens, and ferrets. By choosing my services, you're not only getting a reliable pet caregiver but also contributing to my goal of saving for a home with a spacious yard for my two cherished fur-babies. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your beloved pets, ensuring their well-being and happiness. I'm currently working full time I'm available to check on your pet all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday! I can spend up to 4 hours with your dog or cat in the afternoons playing, snuggling, anything they need! Please see my services profile for more information regarding my availability! Please also feel free to message me with any questions, my schedule can be flexible and adjusted based on your needs! I currently do not offer house sitting at my house because I don't have enough room for any additional dogs but I would care for them as my own.

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 .
