“Kelly updated me almost daily of activities and sent pictures. Cats are young and Zeus was shy the first week but eventually came out. We were all back to normal routine next day. Kelly followed all our requests for feeding,etc. Only complaint with Cat in a Flat was that I could not contact anyone during scheduling and negotiating rate.”

“Kelley was FANTASTIC! She was so attentive to my two Aussies and she was very communicative and spent extra time playing with them. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone! I will be using her again for my next vacation!”

About: Hi! My family has always had dogs for as long as I can remember. From puppies madness to senior sunsets, I’ve loved every stage that comes with having pets. During summers I’ve provided in house care for neighbors pets allowing them a “vacation” from staying home all day. I would be more than happy to get to know your pet as well as yourself ! I am currently a graduate students at UD only taking classes 2 days a week. I am quite flexible with hours and more than happy to include daily walks and visits into my routine! Having had pets myself, I pride myself for caring for others as if they are my own. I am willing to do whatever I can to ensure a comfortable experience for both pets and owners!

About: I have been pet sitting since I was a kid and have been working as a Veterinary Technician for over 10 years. So your babies will be extra safe with me! I am currently unemployed and available to give your fur babies all of my attention when their humans are at work or out of town! I currently have two cats at home, and previously owned a pitbull who recently passed away. Im looking to get some good walks and play in with some dogs!

About: I have had 2 dogs growing up. One large German Shepherd and one small Cockapoo. I have also taken care of my family and friends dogs when on vacation, ranging from tiny Chihuahuas to medium Labs. I love dogs and love to take them on long walks I currently work part time so I have lots of time to go on walks. I am a big runner and have done half marathons. I love to run with dogs and take them out for miles. I can pick them up and take them around anywhere near the area. I know how to hold back a strong dog and keep them from going where they shouldn’t.

About: Hi, my name is Amanda and I adopted my beagle, Honey, last year. I grew up with cats and dogs, and understand that pets are part of the family. I have experience with kittens, cats, and anxious dogs. My specialty is small to medium sized dogs. I walk and train with my dog every day. We completed all the obedience training programs at PetSmart and we participate in agility classes and ecollar training programs. I understand the importance of training as well as caring for the animal with love and patience. I work from home, so my schedule is quite flexible. I walk my dog for about 20 minutes between 8-9am, and then again in the evening from 5pm-7pm. I have a friendly 1.5year old beagle at home who would love to play and snuggle with your pup. I would separate them via dog gate or crating during meal time. We would go for a pack walk and have designated nap time in their crates. Additionally, I would crate both dogs overnight for safety purposes.
About: I have a signal family house with a large backyard and i have over 10years of experience caring for dogs and cata. I currently have one dog and one cat at home. My house has two separate floors. So i can accommodate pets separately if needed Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home with a fenced backyard for dogs to play. I work full-time during the week, but I am available before and after work, and I have flexible availability on weekends. I always make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at home. I follow each pet's regular routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout their stay. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. If I am caring for pets in a client's home, I always respect their home and follow all care instructions carefully to keep the pet comfortable and maintain their normal routine.
“This was my first time leaving my cat with a stranger and also the longest I’ve been away since I got her, so I was a bit anxious about it. Mary was so kind and patient, and she took so many photos for each drop-in visit— it was so reassuring to see how well-cared for and happy my pet was! I’ll definitely try to book her again the next time I travel.”

I am available to do home visits before 830 am and after 5pm on week days and fully available on the weekend:) I have a fully fenced in yard for your dogs to run around in. I have a large pet bed for inside as well as a large crate if needed! If I am visiting your home for pet care I encourage a camera to be there to ensure you are comfortable with me being in your home. I would only enter allowed rooms and make sure your fur baby is doo g great and in pristine health.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a teenager, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up around both dogs and cats taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and behaviors from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience with pets of all ages, and sizes. I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for them. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, feeding, giving medication, or simply providing companionship and affection, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet who is a part of your family. I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently a law student and will also be completing a summer internship. With a flexible schedule and the ability to work from home two days a week, I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and companionship. I also offer overnight stays to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and consistency when caring for someone’s pet, and I’m committed to providing attentive and dependable care that fits each pet’s individual needs. I provide care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and stress-free environment while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always take the time to build trust and make them feel safe, calm, and cared for. In addition to meeting their daily needs, I also provide plenty of attention, companionship, and affection so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s keeping an energetic dog active with walks and playtime or giving a cat quiet companionship and care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also make sure owners feel reassured by providing updates, photos, and clear communication throughout the stay.
“First time I left Axel home overnight and alone. Axel seems to be happy. Cassidy took good care of him while I was away. Sent me pictures and video everyday she met him. Very reassuring. Hoping she is free the next time I need to leave Axel.”

About: Like any sitter on Rover, I have a deep love for animals, but what sets me apart is my experience caring for and advocating for pets who may be nervous, fearful, or reactive. I’ve been a proud owner of Maple for the past 8 years. She is a very nervous and fear-reactive Australian Cattle Dog/Jack Russell rescue, and over the years I’ve worked closely with her to help her feel more comfortable and confident. That has included training, medication, patience, and plenty of high-value treats! Living with Maple has taught me how important it is to understand a pet’s individual needs, recognize their body language and comfort levels, and never rush them into situations they aren’t ready for. I’m comfortable giving pets the time, space, and reassurance they need to feel safe and cared for. Whether your pet is outgoing and playful or needs a little extra patience and understanding, I’m committed to meeting them where they are and giving them the care they deserve. If your pet has a hard time on walks, I am perfectly comfortable handling these types of situations to ensure they get their walks stress free. Otherwise, all the more excited to work with you and your pets' needs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m generally available for visits between 6–11 AM on weekdays, as well as most hours on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and can accommodate regular visits or occasional drop-ins. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed, whether that means a pill hidden in a high-value treat or following specific instructions from you. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you’re away. When caring for a pet in their home, my first priority is making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I follow your instructions closely and do my best to keep their normal routine consistent—from feeding and walks to medications, playtime, and quiet time. I’m especially mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape routes, and I never assume a pet is comfortable with something just because another pet might be. I pay attention to body language and let pets set the pace, especially when they’re shy, nervous, or reactive. My experience with Maple, my nervous and fear-reactive rescue, has taught me to be patient, observant, and proactive. I understand that building trust can take time, and I would much rather give a pet the space they need than push them beyond their comfort zone. I also know how important it is for owners to feel comfortable trusting someone in their home. I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I give your pets, and I’ll keep you updated during visits so you know how your pet is doing.
About: I’m an animal lover who goes above and beyond while caring for your dog. I always follow the pet owner's directions carefully so that the pet will be happy while they are in my care and the owner will be at ease knowing that their pet is in good hands. I have a family who has years of pet sitting experience. I can come to your house to feed or walk your dog or other pets. I love all animals so I am interested in caring for your cats and other pets. I have many references. I am a college student. My schedule is very flexible, I am available every day at any time to come and take care of your pets. I can be trusted to go to your home and lock the doors and set the alarm. If transporting your dog, I would be confident in putting on harnesses, leashes, and any other items you request.
“I was impressed with Kim! From day one, the cats bonded with her, which is unusual, especially when meeting someone new. She went above and beyond doing what was asked, including crushing pills, giving them attention if they wanted it and opening the door so they could get some fresh air and sun through the screen. By the third day they were following her around the house. She's light on her feet and very patient with them. To add perspective, when my adult children come home, the cats hide, even though two of the cats grew up with the kids. Before the week was over, I had already booked her for several other times this summer!”


About: Dogs aren't just pets, they're family! 🐾 Having spent years with dogs of all sizes and personalities, I understand the importance of finding someone who will treat your pup with the same patience and affection you do. Whether it's a high-energy puppy needing a long game of fetch or a senior dog desiring a quiet companion for a stroll, I tailor my care to fit your dog's unique needs and temperament. I know how much owners miss their pups, so I'm always happy to send photo updates and quick check-ins for your peace of mind. 🐶❤️ I am a stay home Mom of a independent teenager(who is also an animal lover ) , so I have plenty of time to take care of Your fur baby ♡ I have fenced yard, and beautiful neighborhood to take your Dog for a walks. I have a friendly dogs and a cat to accompany your Fur-baby ♡

About: I’ve always loved animals and naturally get along with them. I have two cats of my own and I’m also comfortable around dogs through my family. I’m patient, gentle, and good at giving pets time to feel comfortable around me, especially shy or nervous ones. I’m happy to follow their usual routines and give them plenty of attention and care. I’m home most of the day, so my schedule is fairly flexible and I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and care. I’m able to fit walks, drop-ins, and pet care into my daily routine while keeping a manageable schedule so I can give each pet the time and attention they need. I care for pets in their own home by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, give them attention and playtime, clean up after them, and provide walks or potty breaks when needed. I also make sure they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away.
“Heather was wonderful and took great care of my cats. She was very kind, kept me updated, and sent me multiple pictures throughout her visit. She even managed to get my shy cat to come out and eat, which is not something many people are able to do! I really appreciated her care and attention. I will definitely be booking with her again! (:”


About: I have a lot of experience volunteering at various animal shelters and caring for cats and dogs of all ages. I have had elderly, disabled and animals in need of help due to an illness in my care as well. I have also had limited experience training younger dogs. I am currently working completely online, so I will have plenty of time to care for animals! However, I will have commitments on most weekends. I have a spacious house, with multiple levels, which can be blocked off in case an animal may not be able to use them. I also have a large backyard with plenty of room for larger animals to run around. I have no other pets. I am also able to crate a dog in case they are crate trained, and am quite flexible with any other accommodations for an animal.

Jasmin was great! She stopped by twice a day while we were away for the weekend and looked after our cats, Morgy and Mimo. I was a little worried with Morgy being shy around new people and not coming out to eat but was so happy to see the photos Jasmin posted she was able to get our shy boy out and fed. She's communicative and easy to work with even stopping by before we left just to get a proper in person walk through.

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.

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 .
