“Jen is the best. On time, detailed, follows instructions perfectly, excellent communication, great photos each time. She always goes above and beyond at every visit, doing the little things that show she really cares. I am very comfortable having her in my home when I am not there. Perhaps the best compliment I could give her is that She takes care of my kitty just as I would do. I'm so thankful that I found her!”
“Karla did a wonderful job! It was a very first time for us using someone outside of the family and friends caring for our kitties and I was a bit hesitant at first. We had a long trip from home and Karla made it for us so easy, stress-free and comfortable, our cats fell in love with her at first sight. Definitely highly recommend her services. Thank you so much Karla once again!”
“Ashley did an amazing job taking care of our 3 cats. While 2 of our cats were very friendly, our 3rd was more skittish. Ashley knew exactly what to do to make him feel more comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Trinity is incredible. She’s super communicative and sends lots of update photos and videos. My kitties are on the skittish side and Trinity handled them like an expert. By the end of her visits they were coming out to see her and even taking treats from her. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Camron is amazing! She has visited my cat several times now (for weeks at a time) and each time, I return to a happy cat. She is so compassionate towards the pet and respectful of the household. She continually goes above and beyond!”
“AJ is like a cat whisperer! He is compassionate, professional, and highly communicative with all creatures of our home. We are always comforted in travel knowing we can safely and reliably leave our kitties and their medication needs in AJ’s care.”
“Patrick saved the day for us, filling in to take care of our cats when their usual sitter had an emergency. He was extremely communicative and took great care of them. We will definitely rebook!”
“Emma was the absolute best taking care of my cats! Very friendly, great communicator, and my cats connected very fast with her and trusted her as well which I loved to hear about. I recommend her as a pet sitter, your furs babies will be very happy and well taken care of!”
“It was our first time on Rover and we were a bit nervous about using this service. But Pamela was awesome and kept our mind at ease while we were away from our cat. The process was smooth and the daily updates were great.”
“Samantha took great care of Sheba. Was on time and provided details of what was going on. She was even able to extend the time I needed her on a last minute notice. I will definitely use her to take care of Sheba and would highly recommend her to others”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds my entire life! I helped my family foster dogs of all ages and sizes (up to 23 at a time) since elementary school. I haven’t met a doggy I didn’t love! I’ve cared for dogs by administering medicine, grooming, wrapping injuries, and more. I love going on runs and playing catch if your furry family needs some exercise as well! I work full time, but have a lengthy lunch break and free evenings after 5pm. I would be happy to drop in for an early morning visit as well. I don’t currently have any pets in my own home, but in my family home I am responsible for feeding, administering medicine, walking, cleaning up after, playing with, and giving head scratches!
About: Hi! My name is Ashley, and I would love to walk and love on your fur babies while you’re away! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I love walking in and seeing the smiles when they know they get to go for a walk! I’m a local PreK teacher so my schedule is usually free after 3:30 on weekdays, but my weekends are usually wide open! Growing up I always had animals in my house so I’m very comfortable with messes they make or medicine they need, so if your babies need that too I’d be more than happy to help! If you’re looking for someone to have your pets feel comfortable and happy all day, even while you’re away, I’d love to be that person! I'm currently a PreK teacher at a local elementary school, so my weekdays are open starting around 3:30 pm! On the weekends, I usually hang out at home or around town, so my schedule is pretty flexible! In your home, I promise to follow whatever makes your pets the most comfortable! Whether your dogs like to lounge on the couch or feel more content in a crate, I'll do whatever you'd like!
“Jasmine was AMAZING!!! She took wonderful care of our sweet baby while we were out of town! Loved getting the updates and pictures from each visit! Highly recommend and would definitely use her again!”
“Marisa is the absolute best. I’ve never been happier with a sitter. She is so good with my very anxious dog who takes awhile to warm up and my kitties all love her too! She went above and beyond. Even accepted a last minute drop in request because our flight was delayed. Highly recommend! I hope she’s available every time I need a sitter. Thanks SO much, Marisa!!”
“Dee was a fantastic sitter for my two kitties!! Very happy to have booked her for them, she was attentive, great at communicating, and sent lots of updates and photos!! 10/10 recommend!!!!”
“I am so thankful to Michael and extremely impressed! He went above and beyond during his drop-in visit with my dog. He keeps you updated and has professional communication. He is considerate and personalized towards your pet and their needs. My favorite part was his understanding towards my dog's anxiety and his attention to her personality. Highly recommend!!”
“Although Payton only watched our pups for a short time during a quick trip, she did an outstanding job! We felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. We'll absolutely be using her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Greater Carrollwood
Morgan was amazing and I already plan on booking her again! She did hourly check-ins on my cat while I was traveling, and my cat is somewhat of a sassy girl, and takes a while to warm up to people. Seeing their relationship progress through the photos was so cute, and after a couple days she was snuggling Morgan and in her lap - which does NOT happen easily! I came back to a kitty who I knew was well taken care of, and my place was in perfect condition, with a nice note from Morgan. 100% recommend her!
Alyssa is great. My pets take to her very well. She really engages and interacts with my fur babies and ensures she’s mindful to accommodate any requested needs for either of my cats. She’s punctual reliable and communicates well. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with her!
Jordan was amazing as always! She took great care of our new puppy and our cat who she has cared for before. She is great at communicating and takes amazing pictures to let us know everything is going well. I can’t recommend her enough, we can tell our pets love her too!
Marisa was absolutely phenomenal with our two cats! We have honestly never seen someone care for them the way she did. She treated them like they were her own and always made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She even stayed longer than scheduled if she felt they needed a little extra attention, which meant so much to us. Her communication was 10/10. We received thoughtful updates, plenty of photos, and always felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in such great hands. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond, Marisa is the one. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Jessica was amazing! She came twice a day for a week to care for my cat, Luna, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She sent lots of pictures and updates of my little buddy playing, being fed, and getting plenty of love and attention, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Jessica even brought Luna extra treats and toys, which was such a thoughtful touch. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about Luna and treated her like one of her own. I would absolutely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!
“Chris did a great job checking in on my cats. Super reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals. Even my more reserved cat felt comfortable around him, which says a lot. He made the whole process easy and stress-free, and I’d definitely trust him with them 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.
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 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 .
