“Lauren did a great job taking care of our two cats while we were on a week long holiday. She was reliable, friendly, and responsive. She sent notes and photos each day, and I felt very comfortable with her taking care of our pets. We returned to two healthy and happy cats! I would highly recommend her.”
“Tawny was super responsive and took great care of my babies! They went above and beyond my expectations. Even when my kitties made a bit of a mess she cleaned it right up and informed me! My shyest cat loved her to bits too so if I ever need a sitter again I'm definitely choosing her!”
“My cat absolutely adores Leslie! Leslie does an amazing job making sure your loved ones are cared for. She took extra time and care to make sure he was comforted and brushed. There’s nothing better than receiving a video of your purring cat when you’re away and knowing they’re in good hands. Leslie is the best!!!!”
“Julia was great! She sent the best pics of my kitty while I was away and he seemed to really enjoy her company during the drop-ins. No issues what so ever and will definitely be using her again!”
“Candi is a great sitter! We’ve booked her several times to come by and feed our kitty. She’s reliable, communicative, and a pleasure to work with. She’s our go to person. Thank you Candi!”
“Jodi is great with my dog Mia. Did a check in visit this evening to take her out and feed her dinner. Jodi trays Mia like her own pet and gives updated throughout the visit!”
“We love working with Anna as she looks in on our cat! The updates and photos always set us at ease when traveling. She always goes above and beyond to help. I couldn’t recommend Anna enough - and our typically shy cat loves her too!”
About: Hi Pet Parents! 🐾 please read 🐾 Multi-Hour & Constant Care BookingsPlease note that my listed drop-in rates cover standard 30 to 60-minute visits. For extended, continuous care where I am required to stay at your home for multiple consecutive hours, I charge an hourly rate of $25/hour.If you need a multi-hour booking, please message me directly before confirming so I can manually adjust the request to the correct total! This ensures your pet gets my undivided attention for the entire block of time. I bring over 6 years of pet care experience from Wag and have been on Rover for about a year where I built long term relationships with pups (and their humans!) through a ton of walks, drop-ins and sittings! ✨ What sets me apart? - Consistency & reliability: I treat your pets and your home with the same care I’d want for my own. - Experience with all kinds of dogs: from shy rescues to energetic puppies to senior pups or disabled dogs who need gentler attention and care - Communication: I keep you in the loop with updates, photos and videos so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and safe. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone and I don’t take that lightly. Whether it’s a quick walk, an overnight stay or daily drop ins, I’m here to make sure your pets feel loved and cared for while you’re away. - I know a lot of you are parents and / or are very busy if you need more assistance such as picking your dog up from doggy day care, grooming appointments or simply just cleaning up the house please let me know and we can discuss further Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐶🐾 I have the flexibility to adapt to your pet’s specific routine and needs, so they get consistency and attention just like they would if you were home. When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. - Walks & exercise: I match your dog’s pace and energy level whether that’s a quick potty break, a long walk playtime. - Drop-ins: I handle feeding, fresh water, litter or potty breaks and always make time for playtime and affection so your pet feels loved, not just “checked on.” - Sitting: I provide companionship, stick to your pet’s daily schedule and make sure your home is respected and cared for while you’re away. I completely understand how much trust it takes to let someone into your home. For extra peace of mind, I always encourage pet parents to use cameras if they’d like because that way you can see your pets happy and comfortable while you’re away. I also send regular updates, photos and videos so you can relax knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Just for extra reassurance, I don’t invite people into your home. The only time I ever have was for a family I’d been sitting for over many years, and I made sure to ask first—I only had my dad over for dinner because it was Thanksgiving during that stay. Aside from that, I would never invite friends or anyone else over, as I personally find that disrespectful.
“Vanessa was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our cats, spent time playing or snuggling or chatting with them depending on what they wanted. Our nervous cat warmed up to her pretty quickly and she won the other one over with treats and head scratches. She is thorough, conscientious, friendly and seems to really enjoy spending time with the kitties. Would definitely recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Sarah took the best care of my two cats, Tango and Mango!! They are rambunctious orange tabbies with big personalities and I am always hesitant about using someone unfamiliar to them. Sarah stopped over for a meet and greet before and they both took a liking to her. She visited every other day for a little over a week. She did an excellent job feeding them, changing their litter, and spending time playing with them. Sarah provided updates and pictures after each visit, which was much appreciated. She stayed in communication with me and made me feel at ease. The cats really liked her! I would absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
About: I have 5 years of experience with caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Whether it is for over night stays, walking, and cleaning cages; I am a trustworthy individual that takes great responsibility with your space and pet. I work full-time (M-F) so I would be available to assist in tasks after 5pm during those particular days. On Saturdays and Sundays I am available from 8am-8pm so I would be able to house and pet sit over night those days. My schedule can be flexible so please do not hesitate to reach out to inquire! I will not be able to have your pet in my apartment, but I will always maintain a clean and safe environment in your home.
“Thanks for taking care of the pets. They had an amazing time with Rylee. We had a little bit of hiccup with ant getting into food situation as well as automatic food bowl breaking in the middle of the trip but Rylee was very kind to get us ant traps and clean the food up for the cats. Lots of great communication and amazing pictures. The pets were in a great hands.”
“Michael was great with our kitties (as always). The kitties were timely cared for and were also treated extra special with treats and playing at each visit. We trust Michael with our babies and will continue to seek his services in the future!”
About: I’ve been a pet lover all my life. I was lucky enough to work in an Animal Hospital while I was in college and learned basic pet First Aid, and how to spot health issues with animals before they become a problem. I currently walk and pet sit dogs as small as 7lbs to my biggest client who is 135lbs. I’m semi retired and love spending time with animals, so walking and pet sitting has been great! I am flexible and have a good car that is reliable in all weather. I have two large pups at home ( Beau and Casey Jones), who stay home when I pet sit and walk dogs so that I can give my client’s pets my undivided attention.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hathorne
Leslie is absolutely wonderful caring for our 2 senior cats with dental issues. Her communication with us during /after her visits is excellent and we enjoy the visit photos she sends . One thing that stood out in looking for a caregiver was Leslie's support for room cameras - we use these to check in to see if if their behavoirs /routines are as expected. It's very reassuring to be able to be away and know your pets are safe and being well cared for.
I was very anxious to go away and leave my cat all alone. We had been through so much this past year. Abby was beyond amazing with Declan! Every day getting photos of him being cuddled and played with helped me to relax and enjoy my trip. Declan was truly in the best hands. She even helped me with a small household issue because bad weather was coming. She is extremely responsible, comes over when she is expected to, and gave my cat so much love. I would have her watch him again without hesitation. Abby did so much more than take care of Declan, she allowed me to have the peace of mind that she was going to be there for him. Lovely woman!
Caden is our cats’ new favorite person! We have two cats Ollie and Oatey and they both have a little bit of different personalities; Caden catered to both. Oatey can be a little shy with new people and by the third or fourth day he was cuddling up on her lap. Ollie is more outgoing but doesn’t always engage with play (because his brother steals the show) and Caden brought her IPad for him to play with some mice games, which he appeared to love. Ollie isn’t a lap cat and by the end he was sitting in Caden's lap too. Caden was super thoughtful and attentive. She noticed when our litter robot was full and made sure to change it so our guys had fresh litter. She made sure the cats had fresh water during her visits. She gave us excellent updates and kept our cats happy while we were away. I could not have enjoyed my trip as much as I did without Caden being our sitter.
Sarah was great! It was the first time I’ve left my kitty Maples for more than one night and I felt super comfortable knowing Sarah was coming every day. She came exactly as we agreed on, I got a notification every time she came, and pictures too! I will definitely use Sara in the future!

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 .
