“Lauren did an excellent job taking care of Dolce and following directions. This was m first time using Rover and leaving dolce with someone new and she did a tremendous job. It was last minute trip and she was up to the task and took care of Dolce like she was her own. I will be using her again 100%”
“Heather sat for my cat Ivory in my home for 4 days while I was out of town. She is an excellent sitter and took very good care of Ivory. Heather fed Ivory, made sure she had plenty of water and cleaned her litter box as needed. She also spent much time playing with Ivory, which I know Ivory loves. Heather also helped with a minor flea problem Ivory is having. I highly recommend Heather and will book her again when needed.”

“A friend recommended Leanne, and I'm so glad she did! Leanne was able to meet my dogs before the date I had requested her to drop in to feed them and let them out for awhile. We had a lovely chat about each of the dogs. During the two visits she made to check on my dogs, she sent notes and lots of pictures that I viewed on the Rover app. I was able to enjoy my day visiting my son without worrying about the dogs.”
“Carey was absolutely amazing! For our first time using Rover, we could not have been more satisfied with the care we received from Carey!

I would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for the best care for their furry family members!”

About: Experience caring for neighborhood dogs and cats, including walking, feeding, and playing. Former associate of Petsmart’s Pet Hotel. There, I cared for boarded dogs individually and by surveying doggie day camps (groups of 10-15 dogs). I also cared for cats staying at Petsmart. Morning, afternoon, and evening availability during the week. Full availability on weekends. However, willing to adapt and provide the best care possible for your pets. I live with three well-behaved cats that are well-fed and well played with. When dogsitting for others, I follow the owners guidelines and have experience in walking, fenced yard time, and crating.
“Kendall is such a sweet and caring sitter. Once again, our furry friends were in best hands, as Kendall took excellent care of them again. She is very reliable, responsible and kittys and humans alike, we are very happy with Kendall's help!”
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!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Herndon
Laura was wonderful! She communicated extensively and took the best care of our cats. We have one cat that is pretty reclusive and by the third visit, Grimm was out and purring next to Laura. Seriously so impressed! We will 100% be booking her for future trips!
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.
She was absolutely wonderful! She communicated with us carefully and thoroughly about our cats’ needs and made sure she understood all the details of their care. She always arrived as scheduled and was very attentive to how our cats were doing during each visit. We really appreciated how thoughtful and reliable she was. Our cats became fond of her very quickly and clearly enjoyed spending time with her! We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Meet & Greet .
