“Linnea was great! We were gone for two weeks and I could always count on her being at our house at a specific time to look after our two cats. She took excellent care of them. I previously used another sitter from this site and when I would come home one of our cats (who is very loving but also extremely high strung) would be all wound up and "hyper". This time when we came home she was calm and relaxed and ready to snuggle. I will definitely be using Linnea again. She has become my number one choice.”
“I had a great experience with Arelis watching my cat, Carter. She cared for him over seven days with drop-in visits and was very communicative the entire time. She consistently checked in with updates and made sure I knew Carter was doing well, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. Carter was well taken care of, and everything went smoothly. I would definitely trust Arelis again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”
“Baylie is an angel! Cannot say enough good things about her. She stepped in on short notice to care for our cat Clara for 2 weeks. She is reliable, uploaded a ton of photos, and even helped to clean up our home without us asking. She is communicative and considerate, friendly, and the sweetest person. We will be using her forever!”
“Lily went above and beyond for my 2 Poms. She communicated with me everyday with photos and videos which I loved. My girls looked so happy and relaxed with Lily and that comforting. She's a sweet, soft spoken person and I can tell she has a kind loving heart for animals and people. I will recommend Lily to my family and I will contact her again to dog sit for us. Thank you Lily!”

“I had to book Aspen very last minute due to a cancelation and she was definitely the right choice. I've never seen my cats warm up to someone so quickly. They clearly liked her. She also did a very good job of keeping the food, water, and litter box full and clean.”
“Rachael took great care of our 2 cats, Nala and Simba, for over a month! We were really happy to receive photos of them adapting to their new temporary home and to see that they were happy and settled. When we collected them again they were very healthy and their coats were really silky and soft, showing that they were completely stress free and happy with their stay. Rachael was always very kind and helpful when we were in contact and knew Nala and Simba well by the time we returned. I can tell that she is a kind carer and would recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
About: Over the past four years, I’ve cared for dozens of dogs and cats for friends and family—walking, feeding, playing, and giving them love while their people were away. What started as doing favors turned into something I genuinely enjoy and feel confident doing, so I thought… why not finally offer it professionally? While I’ve never had a pet of my own (yet!), I treat every animal I care for like they’re family. I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re gone. I’m attentive, gentle, and great at reading an animal’s vibe—whether they want playtime, cuddles, or just someone calm nearby. I’d love to meet your furry companion and be someone you can count on. Let’s chat about how I can help! I currently work part-time most of my work days are during the weekend so throughout the week I am home all day pretty much every day! I am to make sure I learn the routines of each of my clients and ensure that the pets feel like they are at home!
About: Hello! I have grown up with cats my whole life, and have adored each and every relationship I have had with each of them. I have had cat-care experiences of changing litter boxes, playing with them, feeding and giving water, as well as administering medications.

Although I am not in a position to own my own kitty at the moment, I would love to give this love to yours :) My schedule is mostly free, just ask! I welcome both daytime visits and overnight house stays as well. I farm and work gigs on the side during the day time. I take care of both physical or emotional needs of your pet, changing the litter box, brushing, playing with them, petting/giving love, administering medication, feeding and changing water, or anything specific you would like me to do with them. Each animal is different and has different needs, so specific instructions on how your cat likes to be cared for is great!

Anne was amazing! Super friendly, great communication, and made my pet feel like an Instagram model 🤙 Alway let me know when she was coming and going and didn't cut visits short. My cat is not the most receptive but she seemed to really take a liking to Anne. Highly recommend and I would definitely book her 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 .
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 .
