“This is our second time booking Laura to check in on our cat, Lucy! We can tell Lucy is well taken care of while we are away and we really appreciate the love and kindness Laura puts into each visit! Highly recommend Laura and we hope we can continue booking with her :)”

“Alexa took such great care of my cat while I was away. I loved how I could rely on how punctual her check-ins were and how consistently she communicated. It really helped to make me feel at ease and know my cat was in great hands. My cat was very spoiled by all of the affection she got and I know she can’t wait to see Alexa again!”


“Lauren took very good care of our young cats, playing with both our cats and especially our high-energy cat and continually reaching out to our more pensive cat and trying new ways of engaging her until she finally won her over. We love the notifications from the Rover app letting us know that Lauren was starting her visit. Lauren’s reports were always full of details about what she did and what the cats were doing and how they were responding to her. Plus she always sent multiple photos of our fur babies which were very reassuring for the week we were gone. We had her visit them morning and evening and we came home to 2 very happy cats. We have already booked her for our next holiday travel. Just wanted to add that Lauren also met our cats in person a few weeks before we left and that she has a dog and a cat of her own - I appreciated knowing that she was very familiar with the advanced and sometimes tricky culture of the cat. I highly recommend her!”

“Nalleli took care of my cat on short notice while I was away on business. They sent lots of photos and were able to get my shy cat comfortable. I will absolutely be using them again.”

“Leah took great care of my cat during a couple of weekend drop-in visits, including meeting him where he’s at when it comes to warming up to new people. She was also very responsive and kept me updated so that I wasn’t worried while I was out of town.”

“Miranda was such an awesome pet sitter she made sure to check in on my cat and dog while we were out of town making them feel comfortable. She kept me in the loop on times she was planning on going to the house to check on them.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was in middle school and love spending time with them! I love having conversations with them and learning their personalities :( I currently work a full time job and I am only available on weekends. My weekends are typically completely free so my schedule is very flexible and I can be an early riser or a night owl! I am used to having to give space when they are anxious or being high energy to match their excitement. I always approach them with a soft tone to know that they are safe and I love giving treats to win their hearts over!

About: I provide more than just a place for your dog to stay. I strive to make every pup feel comfortable, safe, and truly at home while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your best friend. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I’m comfortable working with young dogs who need patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I’m also happy to maintain established routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and other care instructions. My home is a cozy, attentive environment where dogs receive plenty of love, supervision, and one-on-one attention. I also have a friendly, playful pup, and I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable and gets along. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with family, not simply being boarded. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m committed to making sure every pet receives plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I’m available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 4:30 PM. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and plenty of cuddles. I want your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away, with someone available to check on them and provide attention 24/7. I provide a comfortable, safe, and loving home environment where pets can feel relaxed while their families are away. I have a partially fenced yard where pets can enjoy supervised outdoor time, along with plenty of opportunities for walks, play, and relaxation indoors. I also have a friendly pup who enjoys having other pets around and can provide companionship when appropriate. I always respect each pet’s individual personality and comfort level, so introductions are done gradually and pets are never pressured to interact. I have a small dog crate in home if needed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible while giving you peace of mind that they’re being well cared for.
“Even though she came in for a simple drop in visit as I was out of the house the whole day, she still did a phenomenal job with feeding the animals, administering my cats specific medication, and walking my dog around the neighborhood! I also have a pet toad in which she helped feed him as well:) All in all, i recommend booking her for your pets!”

About: 13 years in animal care. 11 years in veterinary medicine. 4 years pet sitting individually. Many of the pets I’ve watched have had chronic condition’s which needed medication administration. I work full time but only 4 days a week and am able to bring them to work if needed. My boss is very accommodating if I had to leave more than once. I get a good understanding of the pet from their owner and then make sure that the house is fit for those needs. Example would be puppy proofing.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Herndon
Nicole was wonderful taking care of my cat, Kafka, while I was out of town. She made sure he had his food, gave him his medication, and spent time playing with him and also send me pictures of him. Since Kafka is 19 years old, I really appreciated her care and attention. I highly recommend Nicole!
Brittany did a wonderful job taking care of Turtle while I was away! She sent photos and updates every day, and I could tell from the pictures that Turtle was happy, comfortable, and really enjoying her time with Brittany. That gave me so much peace of mind while traveling. I really appreciated her attentiveness and the care she showed Turtle. I would absolutely book with Brittany again!

Kendall is the best sitter ever! Our furry family has become very attached to her and we don't want to miss her as sitter. Each time, she takes such wonderful care of all of our animals and we know we leave them in the absolutely best hands with her. Thank you so much 🙏!

Paige was wonderful with our cat, Lilly! This was our second time having her watch Lilly while we were away, and once again, we had a great experience. Paige is dependable, communicative, and takes great care of her. She kept us updated during our trip and gave us peace of mind knowing Lilly was in good hands. We’re so glad to have found someone we can trust and would absolutely recommend Paige to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Allison was so great with our cats - responsive, communicative, and proactive! Couldn't ask for anything more in a cat sitter. We came home and our cats didn't seem desperately starved for affection, so I know they were in good hands with Allison when we were gone!
Ainsley did an amazing job checking in on my cats while I was on vacation. She got to know them and was very sweet and caring. She also kept litter and food areas very clean and took good care of my home. Thank you, Ainsley! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

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 .
