“Davene is a wonderful cat sitter! She just took care of my three kitties over Thanksgiving. I appreciated how quick she was to respond to my request and her offer of an initial visit to meet the cats and get our instructions in person. She was very gentle and sweet with the kitties, and I could tell that they really liked her. Davene followed all instructions and left the place neat and clean. I highly recommend her and look forward to booking with her again.”
“Thank you for caring for Eve! I was a little worried to leave her home for so long, and your visits made me feel so much better. She loved getting playtime and pets every day.”
“Savannah took such good care of our cat! It was our first vacation since we got him and we were a little nervous because he can be anxious. Savannah sent lots of cute updates, pictures, and videos so I knew he was happy at home!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we feel so lucky that we found Gabrielle! She took wonderful care of our cat, Turmeric, while we were away for over two weeks. When we came home after 17–18 days, Turmeric was happy, healthy, and relaxed. He’s an extremely shy cat, but by the last week of our trip he had actually become friends with Gabrielle—which says everything about her patience, kindness, and the trust she was able to build with him. A few days into our trip, we also had an unexpected ant problem. Gabrielle noticed it right away, communicated with us immediately, and together we were able to move the food and resolve the issue before it became a bigger problem. She sent us daily updates, along with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile every day. It was clear that she genuinely cared for Turmeric and treated him with love and attention. We would absolutely book Gabrielle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter. Thank you, Gabrielle, for taking such great care of our furry friend!”
“Andrea took great care of our older cat while we were away on vacation. She provided pictures of our cat living her absolute best life under Andrea’s care. She is very prompt and responsive when you reach out with questions or to book. Will definitely be rebooking with Andrea in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, my sisters will ask me to watch them if they are away and I have two cats I work full time 9-5 but have plenty of time in the morning and evenings. I am also available on the weekends. I also work from home on Fridays so my day is flexible I take care of two cats at my house, I have helped friends and family with pet sitting their dogs, giving them company and taking them on walks
“Jessica was wonderful! I had a sitter cancel on me last minute before needing to leave town for the weekend, so I had to find a new sitter fast. Jessica responded immediately after sending a request and agreed to take care of my cat Liam for the weekend. She was very friendly and attentive to Liam’s needs, and I came home to a happy and healthy kitty. Thank you again!!”
“Grace was our first experience with Rover, and it was an incredibly smooth experience! She provided plenty of info and pictures during the drop-in with our two dogs, and we hope to have her back for more visits!”
About: Your pets aren't "just pets" — they're family. And as someone who has shared my life with dogs for many years, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with their care. I began my animal-care journey studying Animal Sciences at Rutgers University's Cook College. Although my career eventually took me in a different direction, animals remained a constant part of my life. I've been pet sitting for friends and family for 27 years, and I also worked as a veterinary technician for 6 years. My veterinary experience gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs with a variety of needs, including senior and medically fragile pets. I'm comfortable administering: Oral medications Eye drops Subcutaneous fluids Senior-pet care and monitoring Feeding and medication routines Providing extra patience and attention to older or anxious dogs My beloved 15-year-old Shih Tzu recently passed away, and while losing him has been incredibly difficult, it has also reminded me how much I love caring for animals. I'm ready to open my heart — and my schedule — to caring for other people's beloved pets. Today, I'm a wife and mother who works from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable pet care while being available when your pets need me. Whether your dog needs a midday visit, companionship while you're away, medication administration, or simply someone who will treat them like family, I bring years of experience, patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals to every visit. Your pet's comfort and well-being are my priority. I work remotely from home and have had a flexible work-from-home schedule for the past seven years, which allows me to be very accommodating with pet-care needs. I'm available for morning visits after 8:30 AM, once I get my daughter on the school bus, as well as midday walks and visits while you're at work. Because I work remotely, I'm also happy to spend the day at your home with your pets when needed, as long as I have access to Wi-Fi so I can work while keeping your pets company. My only regular scheduling limitation is 3:00–5:00 PM on weekdays, when I'm busy with school pickup and getting my children to their afternoon activities. Weekends are generally open and flexible, and I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's routine and your travel plans. My flexible schedule allows me to provide more than just a quick check-in—I can give your pets plenty of companionship, attention, and care throughout the day. I believe the best pet care starts with making your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m playful and attentive, but I’m also responsible and observant—I pay attention to your pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m happy to care for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, including larger dogs up to 100 pounds. I also welcome cats! Whether your pet is energetic and ready to play or prefers a quiet afternoon curled up beside me, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your home is your pet’s safe place, and I treat it with the same respect I would want for my own home. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are secure. Most importantly, I want your pets to look forward to seeing me! I’ll give them plenty of attention, playtime, affection, walks, and companionship, while respecting their boundaries and individual personalities.
“Alicia was super responsive and took wonderful care of our three cats. They’re really needy, so I was worried about leaving them for a long trip, but they were in great hands! Alicia also watered our plants and they looked better than how we left them!”
“Patrick did a great job taking care of Quincy. I had a few specific instructions, and he followed them to the letter. Quincy was in a good mood when I got home. I recommend Patrick and would hire him again.”
“Wow I was extremely nervous about leaving my boys with someone I didn’t know but David made everything so easy! We discussed all my expectations! He sent great updates and made sure I knew everything that was going to happen during the visits. I will absolutely rebook with David!”
“We needed a catsitter over the weekend as our kitten was recovering from her spay. We were so nervous about having to be out of the house with her recovering from surgery, but Batool really set our worries to rest. Communicative, attentive to all our kitties--all around fantastic. Thank you, Batool!”
“Kayleigh did an excellent job caring for my fur babies. Great attention to detail. I was able to have peace of mind while away knowing Kayleigh would be going to check in on them.”
“This was our first time booking with Nicole. She was available on short notice, not only to watch our cat, but also to come by for a meet and greet before the booking. We greatly appreciated her availability on short notice. She was very friendly and took great care of our cat. We plan to reach out to her in the future when needed!”
“This was our first time using Alexa and she was wonderful!! Our kitties really liked her and followed her around everywhere. I could tell by the many pictures that our cats were super comfortable with her and enjoyed play time. She also went her way to accommodate our picky eater cat 😻 We felt comfortable being away and will Definitely use her in the future!!”
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life so I can take care of puppies to elderly dogs. Most dogs love me and want to come play and pet. I also have a 2.5yr old son who absolutely LOVES dogs. We are happy to take care of dogs with special needs or is on mediations. We had a cat that just recently passed away and she would have been 19yrs old this year. She had asthma and we had to give her an inhaler 2x a day for 10 years. Happy to help your family with any special needs. We will love them like our own while you are away. I currently run my own business and work from home. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fairly easily adopt to your needs and help out wherever I can. I have a nice size home so your dog will have lots of free range all over the house. I live in a very pet friendly community so there are a ton of dogs around and a nice place to go walking the dog.
“Very reliable sitter! Whitney checked in on my dog at my house twice a day while I was away. She took good care of my dog and kept me informed with photos.”

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 .
