“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!”
“Alex did a great job of taking care of our 4 cats while we were away for 2 weeks. Our cats are very shy of strangers but quickly became comfortable with her. Alex visited twice a day and we always got Lots of daily pics and updates on how well each cat was eating and coping with their new boss. Alex managed their varied diets, multiple litter boxes, diets and feeding schedule, and kept us informed regularly during our entire trip. Several times we had poor or no internet to communicate by, but found full updates when we regained a connection. Alex did a great job and we highly recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of many different dogs, I am comfortable with all breeds and ages. Ive had experience with every energetic puppies, as well as low energy older dogs, small dogs that are all over the place and loud ones. I've lived in a household with pets basically my while life, aside from dogs I have experience with cats, lizards, small animals (specifically rats and hamsters), and parrots. I am very passionate with them all, love spending time with them. My house and neighborhood is great and safe for walking pets, not many cars come through and there are not that many dogs around, so accidents would not happen. And my house is large with a lot of large empty spaces so the dog wouldnt have a chance to be destructive. Most of the time I would be available, I spend most of my time at home, and I do college online. Occasionally I might leave for a day, and in October I'm going on a trip 5-17. My house is very pet friendly, I currently have rats but they have their own room to which I usually keep the door closed. A large part of the house has a lot of empty spaces and the main living room currently doesn't have much furniture, but still a lot of space to run around. It does have stairs. Our neighborhood is a great place to walk around, not that many cars or people walk around, so there would be no accidents. Unfortunately my back/front yard is not fenced, so the dog would need to stay on a leash. I will also listen and follow all the instructions provided by you in your home, I respect other people's spaces and privacy.
“I haven’t even met Sarah IRL but I would trust her with any animal or task. She arrived to find my pet chickens stolen from my yard, and searched everywhere, called around to shelters…went far above and beyond. Thank you ??”
“Sammi was wonderful! She took great care of the cats, kept us updated on some health issues, and even helped reprogram one of the RFID feeders from afar when one of the cats lost their tag. We really appreciate her going above and beyond for us and our boys - thank you!!!”
“Jennifer took great care of our three kitties, and went above and beyond when it came to our senior diabetic cat having a litterbox issue. She provided us with photos and written updates for each visit. During our whole trip I never doubted that they were in good hands. We came back to happy, healthy cats!”
About: I love animals and have pets of my own. I have experience with pet sitting animals of all sizes. I also finished a class in assistance dog training and also volunteered at a puppy development center. I am very active so I will have no problem maintaining larger dogs. I also love walking and playing with pets to provide enrichment and enjoyment in their lives. I am currently home for a longer break. I go back to school on the 11th of January. I am very flexible during this time. I am dedicated to providing quality care for your pet, as well as giving you peace of mind that they are in good hands. I understand that a pet is like family so I will strive to treat any pet that is under my care like my own.
“I do not have the easiest cats. One is super shy and the other just tolerates people. Amanda did a great job with them! She patiently coaxed my shy one out and even got my standoffish one to play. She sent video snippets that showed they were happy and well taken care of. Thank you, Amanda!!”
About: As a full-time school counselor, I bring the same compassion, attentiveness, and calm presence I use with students into every pet care visit. I’m incredibly patient, dependable, and detail-oriented — qualities that pet parents value when trusting someone with their furry family members. What truly sets me apart is my ability to build quick connections and create a sense of safety — whether it’s helping anxious students or shy pups. You can count on me to treat your pet with kindness, respect, and love as if they were my own. I also understand busy schedules and will always communicate clearly, follow your pet’s routine closely, and provide updates so you feel confident and at ease. I’m available for walks, check-ins, or drop-ins Monday through Friday from 5:00–6:30 AM or anytime after 3:00 PM. I also have open availability on weekends and can provide overnight care on weekends if needed. Whether you’re looking for a one-time visit or something more consistent, I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. Just let me know what works best for you — I’m here to help! As a school counselor, I’m trained to be calm, attentive, and observant — skills that naturally carry over into caring for pets. I always take time to build trust with each animal at their own pace, ensuring they feel safe and secure in my presence. I follow all care instructions closely, stay alert to changes in behavior or needs, and keep communication open with pet parents every step of the way. Whether I’m out walking or checking in, safety is my top priority — from double-checking leashes and gates to making sure your pet feels calm and comforted while you’re away.
“Ashley was able to care for my two kitties super last minute. She did such a great job and went above and beyond. I had a lot of anxiety leaving them and Ashley made me feel so secure in her messages and photos. I’m so grateful for her and will continue to use her in the future!”
“Sylvia was great and took wonderful care of our dog, Orion. She asked lost of questions and made sure she understood everything my about how to best care for him. She was trustworthy and forthcoming about everything that occurred while we were away. I would absolutely recommend her!”
About: Cats are one of my favorite animals! I've loved cats since I was three years old and my mom and I adopted my first cat, Charlie, from the city shelter. I even used to work at a local humane society. During my time there, I took care of everything from feeding and cleaning litter boxes to socializing the cats. It's actually where I met and fell in love with the first cat I ever adopted on my own, Penny. One of the best things about cats is that every cat has their own purrsonality. Some are ready to play right away, while others may need a little more patience. My own cat, Millie, is a shy senior, so I am especially comfortable with older, quieter cats. I'll happily stick to your kitty’s normal routine, provide fresh food and water, keep their litter box clean, give them attention and playtime on their terms, and always respect their boundaries. Since I’m self-employed and work mostly from home, I have a fairly flexible schedule and can usually plan pet-care visits around my work and errands. Caring for my own cat, Millie, is already part of my daily routine, so feeding, fresh water, and cleaning the litter box are familiar parts of my day. I'll only accept bookings that I know I can reliably fit into my schedule. I take being trusted with someone's pet and home very seriously. I follow written care instructions carefully, make sure doors and entry points are secure, keep food, water, and litter areas clean, and respect both your home and your cat's boundaries. I previously worked in a casino cash-handling position where I underwent extensive background screening and fingerprinting, so I’m very familiar with working in an environment where trust, responsibility, and following procedures are extremely important. I'll treat your home and your cat with that same level of care.
About: Pets have been part of my family my entire life! I currently have three fur babies—a Siberian Husky, a Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix, and a cat—and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. As a longtime Husky owner, I have experience with energetic and reactive dogs, as well as senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also comfortable administering medications. Whether your pup loves long nature walks, trips to the dog park, or just some extra attention and companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. 🐕🐾❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! With two dogs and a cat of my own, I’m used to making time for walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I enjoy being outdoors and going on walks, so adding another furry friend to my routine comes naturally. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to work with your pet’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in their home, I respect their space and follow all instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, walking, medication, and daily routines. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure before every walk or visit. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities, including reactive and senior pets. I treat every pet with patience, love, and attention, just as I would my own.
“Katherine was amazing! This was the first time I left my 2 kittens with someone so I was a bit nervous to leave my babies. But I was very comfortable leaving them and knew they were in wonderful hands!”
“Sara was great! Our apartment was left in the same condition as when we left. She arrived promptly and sent cute pictures of our boy! She was very patient with our wild puppy and played with him (in a structured way that promotes mental stimulation) as well as a nice potty break while we’re at work. Would definitely feel comfortable requesting her services again.”
“Jillian has done drop-in visits for my two cats for several years when I approached her with an unconventional request: I’d be gone for a month and wanted my cats to stay in my home but to have her visit daily. I have extremely friendly cats who need regular socialization and I was nervous leaving them alone for so long. Jillian was great and discussing solutions with me. While I was away, she diligently checked on them and let me know when she spotted issues, had questions, or supplies were running low. She went above and beyond to make sure my fur babies had love and affection while I was away!”
About: Hi! I’m Michi and I’m 26 years old. I’m an experienced pet owner with six cats of my own, so caring for pets is already a huge part of my everyday life. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m happy to adapt to whatever helps them feel safest and happiest while you’re away. I also have experience taking care of dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, rabbits, birds, hamsters, fish, sugar gliders and more. I absolutely adore all pets and I can guarantee that I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own. I can walk dogs and can watch your pet at your home. That includes feeding, playing, walking, cleaning up after your pet and any other requests you may have. I am open to last minute scheduling and will travel to your location. I would love to watch your pets if you are unable to, just let me know! *I typically have classes Monday and Wednesday nights from 7-10pm so I’m available for a drop-in either before or after

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. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
