“Mary was a wonderful pet sitter for our new cat while we went away for a few days. As soon a I dropped our cat off I could tell that Mary was an animal lover and she would be in great hands while we were away. Not only did Mary give our baby meds while she was recovering from being spayed, but she kept us updated with sweet pics of our girl that relieved our anxiety while we were traveling. We cannot thank Mary enough for the amazing care she provided to our girl Shadow and highly recommend her to anyone looking for amazing pet care!”
“As usual, Sue was wonderful with my fosters! I think I’m a little jealous—she seems to be making huge strides with Junebug! (Just kidding. 🙂) I’m grateful she was available last minute for us. Sue is prompt and spends quality time with my kitties. I don’t worry about leaving them because I know they’re in good hands!”

“Kat was awesome with Simba’s care. She took the time to make the cat feel comfortable around her and kept in constant communication with me. Her pictures were a great addition and I appreciated them. I would for sure ask for her help again the next time we travel. Thank you for everything!!”

About: The house I grew up in always had dogs around, we used to train them for shows so I have an idea of how to keep pets safe and out of trouble, I have experience with dogs as tiny as a dachshund and as big as a boston mastiff so i’m prepared for anything. I am currently a student at HGTC working on getting my degree in ultrasound tech. I also work part time at the Applebee’s as a server. While all that seems like a lot I actually do get more free time then I expected and I would love to spend that time watching your pets. I like to treat every animal as if it was my own, giving them the same love and respect I would my pets. Whatever you decide is best for how you would like me to watch your animals is how I will do it, it takes a lot of trust to find a sitter so it’s important to me that I follow any guidelines given.

“Nicol was amazing! Our dog has some medical issues and Nicol was so kind to him and followed our instructions to the letter. You can tell how much she loves dogs and she was not at all intimidated by his health needs. We felt very comfortable having him in her care. She even sent us photos and updates while she walked him. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for a beloved furry friend ❤️”

About: I have been pet sitting for a couple of years now, and I would say it’s one of my favorite things to do. Most of my gigs have consisted of overnight stays for usually about a week at a time or more. I have done mostly multi pet households, with both cats, dogs, and other exotic animals. I’ll even feed your chickens! I just love animals and pet sitting is one of my favorite hobbies. I’m new to the Rover app, but I am not new to pet sitting. I am currently getting my associates in early care and education while also working at a school. I’m only taking one night class so my days are pretty free for pet sitting! I only do work in clients homes, but I have experience putting dogs in crates or “pet proofing“ the house before I leave. I’m also very capable of giving medication to any animals that would need them and have a very watchful eye when I am at a clients house.
About: Hey, I’m Carina! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. I genuinely love all pets and know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for them. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or just some quality company, I’m here to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved. My schedule changes week to week. Because of that, I ask for at least 3 days notice before a booking so I can make sure I’m fully available and able to give your pet the attention they deserve! I live in a pet loving apartment with two cats I’m very used to a busy, animal filled environment! My pets are a huge part of my life, and caring for them daily has given me a lot of experience with different personalities, routines, and needs!!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Garden City
Amanda was fantastic! She was super helpful at a sort of short term notice. She took the absolute best care and she must have the best camera skills because the photos were amazing. She even brought them toys which they loved and left a sweet note. I absolutely recommend her as your next pet sitter!
I highly recommend Mary! She did daily drop-in check-ins for my four cats over a three-day period, and she was absolutely wonderful. My cats are incredibly high-maintenance and very picky eaters, so I am always a bit anxious leaving them. Mary handled their specific routines perfectly and made sure everyone ate well. It gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely be booking her again!
Jeffrey was absolutely wonderful and incredibly reliable! He took incredible care of Tyson, who warmed up to him quickly. They spent time playing together with his feather toy, and Jeffrey handled Tyson's medication perfectly. He also went completely above and beyond by feeding and watering my outdoor stray cat during his visits. I highly recommend him and will definitely book him again!
I was so pleased with Jessica and Kayla and the care they gave my 3 cats. I was away for 1 week and one day they stayed late because it was storming. 2 of my cats were pretty elusive but finally started coming out. They left the house in great shape. I would recommend them to anyone needing drop in services. I will definitely use them again
This was our first time using Rover. We were delighted with Alexis L. And the professionalism and care which she demonstrated from our first contact and throughout. Wonderful to see her able to engage with our skittish but affection hungry kitty. The twice daily updates with photos and videos were most welcome. When you know your pet's care is in such capable hands you can relax and enjoy your time 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 .
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 .
