“This is the 2nd time we've had Tina watch our kitties and we continue to be impressed. I love how she sends a recap of her visit and plenty of pictures. Honestly we cannot beat the peace of mind we get when she watches them, especially when we come home to find two happy cats! So glad we found a genuine animal lover that treats them as her own.”

About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and have always been responsible for helping care for them. I have experience walking dogs, feeding them, and spending time with them at the beach and outdoors. I enjoy being active with pets and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I am reliable, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already prioritize structure, responsibility, and being attentive to details. I plan my day around scheduled visits so I can consistently show up on time and give each pet my full attention without rushing. Since I’ve grown up caring for cats, checking on feeding, water, litter boxes, and giving companionship when needed feels like a normal part of my day rather than an extra task. I make sure to stay flexible so I can accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits while still keeping pets’ routines consistent and stress-free. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or the client’s home. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and their environment is clean and comfortable. I pay attention to their behavior and comfort level, giving them space when needed and gentle interaction when they’re open to it. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything tidy while focusing on the pet’s needs first. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for so their time away from their owner is as stress-free as possible.
“Kayla is a wonderful cat sitter! She cleans up and communicates everything so I’m always in the know. I also love that she send pics of my cats while I am away. Thank you, Kayla!”
“Angela took amazing care of our kitties, Bear & Spooky! She spent a lot of time playing with them and keeping them company while we were gone. She even managed to get our picky cat to eat each day. We also loved all the photos and updates she sent. We are so thankful we found her on rover & will def be reaching out again! :)”
“Phillip took wonderful care of my cat. He was communicative and provided nice updates about how my cat was doing throughout the week. My cat seemed content when I returned. The liter box was well maintained, and the apartment smelled clean.”
About: Hi, I’m Jana! I am a full-time physical therapist looking to spend time with some pups since I currently do not have one of my own. I’ve been a passionate animal lover my entire life, growing up with a beloved family dog and later raising my own Australian Shepherd from a puppy. Because of my Aussie, I am incredibly comfortable managing high-energy breeds and keeping up with demanding exercise schedules, making me the perfect match for active dogs who love long, fulfilling walks. Over the years, I’ve also become the trusted, go-to dog and cat sitter for my friends. Through these diverse experiences, I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal behavior and know exactly how to read their cues to make them feel safe, secure, and completely comfortable around me. Above all, safety is my absolute top priority. I approach every walk and sitting session with extreme care, ensuring your furry family member is never put in danger. I can't wait to meet your pet and provide the reliable, attentive care they deserve! Certifications: Cat and Dog First Aid and IAP Dog Walker certified. I currently work Tuesday through Fridays so I am available Saturday, Sunday and Mondays when most pet parents may be traveling. Also, I am willing to walk or drop in during my days off for those who work weekends! When caring for pets at their own home I prioritize their needs as well as the privacy of my clients. I will always treat their home with respect. If your pup is staying with me, be assured I will keep them on their normal schedule and give them the love and attention they deserve.

This was my first experience using Rover and right away was immediately impressed with the ease of this process. Working with Aleksandra from the very beginning felt so natural and comfortable from our meet and greet with my kitty all the way till the very end. She’s warm, detailed, and very communicative with updates on my baby. I felt so safe and trusting with her care and beyond happy with her service; 100% will be using her services again. Blu and I thank you Aleksandra!
I booked Andrea last minute for some drop-ins and Andrea DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! I will definitely book again in the future, she went above and beyond for the kitties and they warmed up to her almost immediately (they don’t really care for people). I appreciated the check-ins followed up with pictures 💚💕 Thank you Andrea!
Tina was wonderful with our cat, Taco, over our lengthy vacation. They made sure he had adequate playtime & socializing - along with tending to our cat’s various robots. At our meet & greet, Tina took detailed notes & photos to make sure Taco got everything he needed while we were gone. That greatly reassured me. Pet sitting at our place was challenging - the community was handling repairs at the same time, but Tina handled the chaos well. They went above & beyond to run to the pet store after their visit & return to apply some medication. Thanks Tina!
I truly can’t recommend Grey enough. She is an absolute gem and one of those people you feel SO lucky to find on an app like this. She took AMAZING care of my two cats while I was traveling. I felt completely comfortable and at ease knowing they were left in her care. I’m admittedly a little over-the-top when it comes to my cats and their happiness and comfort 😂 and Grey knocked it out of the park. She is attentive, loving, communicative, and took care of them as if they were her own. Also - my cats ADORED her! Animals are excellent judges of character and my cats totally loved her. She shared many photos during each visit and it was clear that they felt extremely safe and happy. I already know they’ll be excited to see her again in the future! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful with animals, Grey is your person. I’m so happy I found her and will absolutely be reaching out to book her anytime I need to travel. Thank you, Grey!!! ❤️
Carmen was wonderful with Kiru. She was communicative from the start, checked in regularly, and sent so many photos (a lot of very cute ones) that I never had to wonder how my cat was doing. You can tell she has a lot of experience with animals, and she's just a really kind, attentive person. Kiru was clearly happy and well cared for. I'd recommend Carmen to anyone and will absolutely book her again.
Christine was amazing! She took great care of our two cats and kept us updated on them while we were gone. One of our cats has a medical need and she was more than capable of handling that and our young kitten with tons energy! I would recommend her to anyone. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!
Steffen did an amazing job caring for my kitty girl. It was my first time leaving her with anyone other than family for more than a day, and I was "that" cat parent that left a list of just in case instructions. Steffen was kind & reassuring & followed them all to a T! I will definitely rebook if she'll have me!
Destiny is the absolute best! I haven’t been traveling much lately, but I was so happy she was available to take care of Crunchwrap! I got lots of great photos while I was away and I came home to a very happy cat. I always know Crunch and my home are in good hands with Destiny.

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 .
