“My very skittish, unsocial cats warmed up to Erin immediately. She did such a great job and I felt so comfortable on vacation knowing that they were being well taken care of.”
“Fantastic! Pictures were sent every visit & updates were posted at each visit! She even went above and beyond & swept up the bit of dirt in our foyer! Litter box was always clean & pee pads were replaced. Would definetly recommend Melanie to friends & definetly use her services for our next vacation!”
“Melissa took great care of our fur babies! She responds quickly and is very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Melissa and plan to hire her for return visits.”
“Jeffery came for a drop by visit on short notice and did a wonderful job making Rio feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend him and will certainly be requesting his services again.”
“Leanna was great! So friendly and easy to work with. This is our first time using Rover and she made us feel comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care. Definitely will use Leanna again and recommend anyone looking for some to care for their pets choose Leanna as well.”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Cheyenne cat sit my two beloved cats, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. Cheyenne was attentive, caring and insured my cats were comfortable and well taken care of. Her reliability and dedication truly made a difference and I returned home to two very happy cats. I highly recommend Cheyenne to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. She is a true professional and a wonderful person who clearly loves what she does. My cats and I are grateful for her excellent care and will definitely be requesting her services again in the future if need be. Using the service for the first time, there were a lot of exceptional candidates to cat sit, but I am very happy with my decision to hire Cheyenne’s services, and you would be too. Thank you Cheyenne!”
About: Ever since I was little I have loved animals. Recently I’ve been helping walk dogs at a local rescue. I have two dogs of my own that I take care of. I’ve taught one of them a few basic commands like sit and stay. Currently I work in the mornings and go to school in the afternoons. Monday-Friday I would be available after 4pm. On the weekends I would be available throughout the day. In my own home the dogs get let out every couple of hours and 2 walks per day. I would be flexible depending on how the owner wanted things scheduled though.
“Mickayla was wonderful. I would recommend her to all who want a caring, reliable and responsible pet sitter. All three of our kitties were well looked after, played with and they loved her. She took care of the litter boxes and even took our garbage cans to the curb and brought them back in after collection. She even chased after wind blown recycling with our neighbors. How about that for going above and beyond!”
About: I treat every dog like family, providing loving, dependable care. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always keep owners updated with photos and messages. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, allowing plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and giving each dog personalized attention every day! I will provide personalized care for each pup, following each pet’s routine with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, medication if needed, and a safe, comfortable environment
“We were very happy with Zalexis' services. She cared for our cat and provided house sitting for 5 days while we were out of town. She was always quick to respond to messages and sent pictures and progress reports every day. When she sent a pic of our cat sitting in her lap, I knew she had serious cat whisperer skills because our cat won't sit in just anyone's lap! ? The house looked great when we returned and our cat seemed happy and content. It made being away so much easier, knowing our cat was being well cared for. We highly recommend Zalexis' services and will most certainly hire her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life ever since I can remember. All shapes and sizes, all ages. Whatever is needed will be provided and then some. I hope I can be of service and can’t wait to help! My schedule is very flexible. I’m able to be wherever is needed. Whatever is best for your prt and your family is what will be given. Individualized and personalized care is my top priority. I’m very eager to learn how I can be of service to your pet and families needs.
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was very young. Fur babies seem to seek me out, whether it is in nature or encounters on the street; you can catch me waving at animals before humans (lol). I've had dogs, cats, a horse, and bunnies off and on throughout my life. I just lost my bunny George, so finding Rover is the perfect opportunity to get some fur baby time in to help mourn my little love 🥲 Im excited to love on your babies if you'll have me 🫶 I'm currently very flexible with my time as I make my own hours. I would like to fill my time with fur babies as much as possible :) I will follow any instruction you have regarding your home and your furry companions. Safety and trust are important to me and I want to make sure you know your animals are loved by me too.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats of my own and have done lots of pet sitting for my friends and family: Cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters. I worked at a veterinary office for 6 years until I became a physical therapist. I love all animals and will treat yours as I would my own. I’m currently still working as a physical therapist, and I plan to retire in October 2026. But my current schedule is such that I have days where I go in late or come home early so I can accommodate overnight pet sitting or dog walking. I prefer to do overnight pet sitting in your home, as that is what your pet is used to and will feel more comfortable with. I will follow any instructions you give me and abide by any pet rules you have in your home. I will give them lots of love!!
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. While I’m not able to have any furry companions of my own right now because of my current living situation, I truly miss having them in my life. I’d love the opportunity to give your pet plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and, with your permission, a few well-deserved treats! I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently work full time at home Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm however, my schedule is flexible and I am able to take breaks throughout the day. I can make almost anything work with enough notice. I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay in the environment where they feel happiest and most comfortable. I understand that keeping their normal routine helps reduce stress while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I’ll also follow any specific care instructions you provide to ensure your pet’s routine and needs are met every step of the way.
“Cassandra was fantastic! She stopped by the week before for a meet-and-greet and immediately sat on the floor to let our three dogs meet her. They took to her immediately. She provided lots of pictures and information when she came over, so we knew just how the dogs were. Highly recommended!”

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 .
