“My scardy cat boy actually came out to say hello!? If that's not a ringing endorsement idk what is 🤷 Consistent and great keeping in touch with drop ins. Plan to book again”
“Samantha was excellent. She gets down to business quickly which I appreciate. But she also had a gentle touch with my cats, one of whom fell in love with Samantha right away. She communicates well and is responsive to your pets’ needs and to your directions.”
“Patricia took great care of my two cats while I was out of town for the weekend. One of my cats is a challenge and gave Patricia a hard time. She handled it like a pro and kept working with him until she was able to give him his meds. I highly recommend Patricia and will call her again!”
“Katie is awesome. It’s comforting knowing our cat is in good hands. She follows instructions, sends updates on each visit (including pictures) and clearly loves cats. Thank you for taking care of our fur baby Rush. 🐈”
“Jenna did a great job with my two cats. They are quite shy and go into hiding when anyone comes to the house. It took some time but by the end Ricky was greeting Jenna and getting some pets. Can't give a better endorsement than that! I had an accident while on vacation and needed help for about 5 weeks longer than planned which Jenna was able to do. That was extremely helpful. I would definitely use Jenna again an highly recommend her.”
“Isabelle did a great job with my two senior kitties. She paid special attention to the health of one of them who I’m worried about. Made sure they were both eating and getting some extra protein and played with them. She was reliable and very timely, kept to her schedule as discussed and took care of the little pans. Will hire her again!”
“Natalie was an absolute blessing when I needed a last-minute dog sitter for the weekend! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, and my dog got along with her wonderfully. I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in such great hands.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best cat sitter I could have asked for! I’m very particular about my cats’ care, and I left detailed written instructions along with videos. She followed everything exactly, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even brushed my long-haired cats, which I really appreciated and wasn’t something I expected. When I got home, they were happy, well cared for, and the whole experience was completely stress-free. It was obvious they had been looked after with genuine care and attention to detail. I would absolutely trust her with my cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive pet sitter!”
“Jennifer was lovely! She house sat for our three cats, which includes two rambunctious kittens. She followed instructions and provided updates, and left our house in great condition.”
“I am very appreciative of Karmy looking after my kitties! She did a very good job and made sure to communicate with me! I think my cats enjoyed having her come by, it definitely put my mind at ease while being gone! I will definitely be using her again!”
“Estefani is the best! She was soooo sweet with my senior kitty. She is a great communicator and sent lovely updates each day. I felt so much better knowing she was looking after my cat. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: Hi I’m Anna! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has grown up with pets and understands how important it is to provide them with safe, loving care. I currently have an 8 year old Vizsla named Marshall. I have experience walking dogs and dog sitting dogs of all sizes, including a white Labrador named Cash and a Yorkipoo named Pixie. I also just recently helped host a service dog event at my school! Since I am a runner, I’m always staying active so I’m committed to making sure every dog gets the exercise and affection they deserve! I currently work part time as a lifeguard so my availability is built around that. On the days I do work I am available anytime from 6am to 10am, and 8:30pm to 10:00pm. When I’m not working, I am available all day. I provide dog walking in the clients area so they are in a safe, familiar environment. I also follow all owners instructions carefully, including leash preferences, feeding notes, or any special treats they are able to have after a long walk!
“Allison did an incredible job watching our 2 cats in our house for a week and a half. Allison communicated clearly at every step and provided lots of updates on our fuzzbabies, putting my mind at ease. She is a very responsible, thoughtful and kind person, and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to entrust the care of their furry children to!”

We have booked with Samantha multiple times now, and she is truly an amazing cat sitter! She takes wonderful care of Pumpkin, sends detailed updates with great photos, and follows all care instructions to a T. On our most recent trip, when there was a potential issue with our AC, Samantha went above and beyond to make sure Pumpkin stayed safe and comfortable. Knowing Pumpkin is in such caring, proactive hands gives us complete peace of mind while away. We will definitely be booking with Samantha again in the future and recommend you do the same if you are looking for a sitter!
Claire did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats for over a week. One of my vets is very shy and Claire tried very hard to make her feel comfortable. My other cat loved Claire and loved all the brushing and extra care Claire provided. Claire was great with my house too. She brought in some packages, and everything was in great shape when I returned. She followed all my instructions and really went the extra mile to make sure everything went well while I was gone. I will definitely get her to take care of my cats when I leave again.
Katie is absolutely fantastic to book with! She is truly a professional who knows what she’s doing and cares so much for your furry friends. She took extra care and time to make sure Remi was okay while I was away. She gave amazing updates and always kept me informed on how he was doing. She was so flexible when I needed to make some updates for our booking and just an overall all amazing person! I couldn’t be more thankful for her! We will absolutely be booking with Katie 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.

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 .
