“Magda is an amazing sitter. She watched our 4 cats for the first time over Christmas break. She is incredibly punctual and attentive to all of our cats special needs and even brought potential house issues to our attention. Her communication is on point, from the meet and greet throughout the actual sitting. Wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”
“Paula was reliable, communicative, and willing to take on administering oral medication for both of my cats, which I really appreciated since that can be hard to find. There was a bit of a learning curve at the start with the medication process, but she adapted quickly and was receptive to guidance. I would book Paula again for future visits. She did a great job and I’m grateful for her services.”
“As always, another great booking with Destiny! The photos and communication updates made all the difference in my trip, giving me peace of mind and the reassurance that my fur babies are in good hands.”
“Sara took great care of my cat while I was away for my wedding and my cat loved her. She was responsive and reliable and I came home to a clean bowl and litter box.”
“Ana was an amazing pet sitter! We lost power while away and she stayed the whole time with our kitty. We really appreciated the extra effort she made and would highly recommend her!”
“Julia was great - she is very responsive and detail-orientated. The cats knocked over a photo frame during our trip and she cleaned up the glass for us because she knew it would be a hazard for their little paws. Great cat sitter, definitely plan to hire Julia again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sammi was an absolute gem while watching our two cats, Merlin and Tiny Kitty, over the past four days! From the moment we met, her warmth and genuine love for animals put us at ease. She took the time to learn all about our cats’ quirks, feeding routines, and favorite playtime activities, ensuring they felt right at home in her care. Sammi went above and beyond, sending us daily updates with photos and videos that made us smile and kept us worry-free while we were away. Tiny Kitty, who can be a bit shy, warmed up to her quickly, and Merlin was clearly smitten, purring away in every picture! The house was spotless when we returned, and the cats were happy, healthy, and relaxed—a true testament to Sammi’s attentiveness and care. Her communication was prompt, professional, and always cheerful, which made coordinating everything a breeze. It’s clear Sammi has a special talent for pet sitting, and we feel so lucky to have found her. We’ll absolutely be booking her again for our next trip and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter. Thank you, Sammi, for treating Merlin and Tiny Kitty like your own!”
“Jeannine is the best! Always prompt and sends great pictures. Our cats love her (and one is a little picky) and we are so thankful to her for taking wonderful care of them.”
“Xin is beyond amazing. She cared for my 2 kittens as if they were her own. She’s wonderful with them, shared lots of pics and updates and they loved her. It was clear they were in good hands and I had nothing to worry about. Highly recommend ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
“Alena took care of our senior cat for 10 days and lived in our home. She is exceptional in every way! She really understands animals, is highly attentive, can administer medications, organized, punctual, kind, efficient, and a genuinely nice person. We will be hiring her again.....and again!”
“Richard is a wonderful person who takes good care of my picky cats. I received a number of pictures of them while I was away and he actually played with my cat that wanted to and left my grump alone. If you need a pet sitter, you found him.”
About: Hi! My name is Andrew. I’m a nurse working in critical care and behavioral health settings. I hold bachelors degrees in Nursing and Public Health, and I’m pursuing my long term goal of becoming a DNP Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse practitioner. I joined rover as a way to make additional income and prevent burnout by picking extra nursing shifts. I have firsthand experience caring for dogs, having a golden doodle myself. I understand the responsibility that comes with being entrusted with a pet. From daily walks and feeding schedules to playing, companionship, and providing a safe environment, I treat every pet with the same attention and care as I would show my dog. I work as a nurse on a predictable schedule, which allows me to plan pet care around my days off. As a dog owner myself, caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. I have a golden doodle and understand the importance of regular walks, exercise, attention, and maintaining a pets routine. I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine for every pet. As a nurse and dog owner, I’m dependable, attentive, and detail oriented. I follow all owner instructions, provide plenty of care and attention, and keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.
“Ashley was amazing with our cat sitting needs. Taking time to check food and water as well as changing out the litter box. She even took care of the plants that were in need of some water love during the heat!”
“I’m not even sure where to start, Erin was AMAZING! We had an issue with the door handle that she took care of, the dogs had a rough day and she handled it, she got my mail, and even cleaned up some dog hair! One of our pups decided to go on a hunger strike and she got him eating again by hand feeding him! I would not hesitate for a second to have her back! She was the best and I highly recommend her!”
About: Cats and dogs have been part of my everyday life since childhood. Today my wife and I share our home with two cats and two dogs — so your pet is joining a household that already speaks their language. I've cared for family members' and friends' animals through house sitting, in-home drop-ins, feeding, walks, and play — at my place and at theirs. Laid-back, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. Pet care is my full-time focus right now. While I take cybersecurity courses and work toward a new career in tech, my days are built around home — which means your pet gets consistent, attentive care every single day of the week. I am available for both daycare and boarding seven days a week with no gaps in availability. A typical day looks like this: Meals Three feeding periods — morning, midday, and evening — keep pets on a consistent routine throughout the day. Walks Dogs go out 6 to 7 times a day, roughly every 3 hours, so there are no long stretches of waiting — they stay active and comfortable all day long. Cat play Cats enjoy one to two dedicated play sessions each day to keep them stimulated and engaged. My home is a pet-friendly, well-organized space designed with animal comfort and safety in mind. Here's what you can expect: Resident dogs Two friendly small dogs — a Pomeranian and a Chihuahua — live in the home and are great companions for visiting dogs. They've spent time at doggy daycare themselves and are comfortable and experienced around other dogs, which helps guests settle in faster. Cats in the home There are cats in the household. Baby gates are in place throughout the home to create separated zones as needed, keeping cats and dogs comfortable and giving everyone their own space to decompress. Yard & outdoor time My yard is not fenced, so all outdoor time is leashed. With 6 to 7 walks a day, dogs get more than enough fresh air and exercise — and they're never left unattended outside. Crating A small dog crate is available if a pet is crate-trained or needs a quiet retreat. I'm also happy to use a crate provided by the owner if your dog is more comfortable in their own space.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Glenelg
Rowyn was absolutely amazing!! I cannot say enough great things about her and her compassion, professionalism and how fantastic she was with my two almost 17 year old kitties! They require oral medication every day, which can be challenging, and on the first day, one was being difficult and refusing the medication, I had told her she could leave since she had already been there longer than the standard allotted drop-in visit time, but she was determined to make sure they both had their medication and was patient and stayed until they both finally took the medication. She absolutely went above and beyond, and was so attentive, so communicative and sent so many pictures! She always arrived on time, despite my saying the timing was flexible! She is someone we completely trusted with the care of our cats and also felt 100% comfortable coming and going from our house. She also went above and beyond and even did some cleaning so when we got home from vacation, we had nothing to worry about!! I cannot recommend Rowyn more highly! Thank you Rowyn for giving us so much peace of mind while away!! Will absolutely book with Rowyn again in the future!

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.

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 .
