“Anna was great with my senior cat Hector! She took the time to establish a rapport with him, which can be tricky. When I got home after 10 days away, he was not stressed at all! It's the best he's ever been with a sitter - Thank you Anna!”
“Stop now, if you are looking at reviews you’ve found your person. Mackenzie is nothing short of amazing. She took care of my LAST minute request for some drop ins. I have a shy cat and I was so surprised to see in the photos, my shy cat had even come out! The whole process had me so nervous at first but Mackenzie has completely changed my mind. She’s kind, friendly, and Winston & Wednesday loved her. We can’t thank her enough!”
“Madison took care of our cat Sasha when we had to go out of town. She was punctual and did exactly what we asked. We will definitely get her help next time we have the need.”
“Lauren is fantastic! She is so professional, sweet with Mack and a fabulous communicator! We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend!!”
“Amber and Ryan are so great with my pup! They always send updates and all the pictures. I will continue to use them and I definitely recommend them to anyone in need of doggy care!! 😊”
About: I currently have two well loved pups, both on daily medication. I believe every pup deserves love, regardless of behavior or perceived aggression. I have experience with heartworm positive dogs as well as dogs who experience seizures. I am a current college student living at home with my family so I am available with lots of free time for your furry friend! I will occasionally have my partner over for meals or to just hang out if I am house sitting, depending on the distance and length of the booking. I believe that keeping an animal clean and safe is the best way to ensure health, as well as making sure the animal is comfortable with me. If I am watching someone who is shy, I am more than happy to give them their space (while ensuring they are safe).
“I was reluctant to use rover because I haven’t been away from my cat before but she was amazing!! She gave daily updates and pictures and made me feel comfortable with the idea of rover. Will 100% book her again the next time I leave town 🩷”
About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals and have developed deep, hands-on experience with specialized pet care. I am incredibly comfortable administering medications and managing complex health routines. My background includes bottle-feeding newborn kittens, managing delicate medical schedules, and providing the strict, attentive care required for rescue dogs undergoing intense heartworm treatments. Our large, two-story home and fully fenced backyard offer a highly secure, adaptable space for your pets. Whether your dog or cat needs a lively vacation or meticulous medical supervision, they will be safe, comfortable, and expertly cared for here. As a stay at home mom, I am full time at home and dedicated to our daily household and animal routines. Because I am here throughout the day, your pet will receive constant supervision, regular bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention. Pet care doesn't just fit into my schedul, it is a seamless part of my everyday life at home. Safety and structure are my top priorities. In our home, we maintain a highly secure environment featuring a large, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. We keep a well-managed household where guest pets are integrated smoothly alongside our own crate-trained dogs. Whether your pet requires strict crate time, routine medical or medication management, or just a calm, supervised space to relax, I ensure their specific safety and emotional needs are met 24/7.
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and helped friends and family take care of their pets. I house-sat throughout college. And growing up, neighbors would frequently trust me to take care of their pets while on vacation. I’ve looked after a variety of dogs, large dogs (Rottweiler and Goldens) and small (Yorkies and other terriers). I love them all. I’ve personally owned 2 boxers (one of which I rescued) and grew up with Dachshunds and a Scottish terrier. My husband has owned miniature Schnauzers. We are very knowledgeable in a variety of breeds. I work part-time during the week so there may be times where your pet will have to be alone for at least 8 hrs. We are both very active and outdoor lovers, so your pet won’t be cooped up inside all day, unless that is your preference. We have a fenced yard with security cameras. We pride ourselves on organization and paying attention to detail, so your baby will be prioritized and well taken of.
About: Hello! I am a young woman, in her early twenties, just trying to make some money while I focus hard on school and eventually get into real estate. I have had several pets that lived long and healthy lives. My oldest was a cat named Ellie who live to 19, the second oldest was Kelli, who recently passed at 17. Both pets I and took care of my whole life, and though I miss them every single day, I now have Nala(5) and Zara(2) who love to hang out with me all day. They especially love being ALL IN my business when I’m in the bathroom or doing yoga😭. I’ve been a house sitter for a few different people in my neighborhood. One family i housesat for not only had two dogs(one senior), but also two cats and large fish tank. I can care for Reptiles too💗 I currently don’t work. I deliver food to make money right now as an income while I am in school, Then I possibly babysit a 4 year old few days a week. I’ve a 8 foot privacy fence around my house and two beautiful Maine Coon cats. Their names are Nala and Zara, and they are let outside in our backyard daily. They have all of their indoor/outdoor shots and all of the other shots they need. The preventative flee medicine we have is applied monthly and have every trinket and product to prevent and rid of flees that you could possibly think of. One of my previous older cats was severely allergic so we became professionals at eradicating them in my household.
“Stephen has been really amazing with our 3 cats. They can be shy but he managed to find them and take pictures to send us while away. They started to warm up to him. Very happy with the services provided! Will 100% book him 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 .
