“Angela gave good and kind care to our three cats for six days. We really appreciated her being available to us on pretty short notice and keeping us updated on the kitties! She’s a kind person and communicated well with us!”
“Nicole provided great communication, professionalism and warmth. She provided us with peace of mind that our diabetic cat would get the care he needs while we were out of town. She will absolutely be a crucial part of our pet-care for all future needs!”

About: Hi! I’ve always loved animals and grew up helping care for pets, so I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and giving each pet the patience and attention they need. Now that my husband and I have bought our first home, I’m excited to fill it with wagging tails and happy paws. I work from home on East Coast hours, so my afternoons are wide open for exercise, companionship, and plenty of one-on-one care. I’m attentive, dependable, and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine so they feel safe and right at home. Working from home gives me the flexibility to fit my day around your pet’s routine. I work East Coast hours, so I start early (5:30am) and finish around 2 PM. Throughout the day, I have time for potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins, and my afternoons are open for walks, companionship, enrichment, and quality time together. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any other preferences to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. In my home, they’ll enjoy a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time, a quiet, comfortable environment, and a walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for daily walks.
About: I have dog sat multiple times for family friends, usually 3 dogs at a time, no problem. The owners always return to their dogs being happy and healthy. I am self employed now so I am very flexible and will be available pretty much all day to take care of your fur babies. I am very flexible caring for your animals in whatever way you’re most comfortable with and whatever ways work well for your fur baby.
About: Hi there! **Now accepting new CAT & DOG clients** Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something that brings me so much joy. I’m a big lover of both dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and little quirks. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I want you to feel confident knowing they’ll be loved, cared for, and treated like one of my own. I'm a freelance photographer with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to your pet's care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feedings, or simply keeping them company, I'm happy to work around their routine and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet is my top priority. I know every cat and dog has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, so I take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel at ease. I'll always follow your care instructions closely, respect your home, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away!
“Styler has been an amazing sitter for my kitty. I love how she always keeps me up to date with pics and other details about how my cat is doing. And I always come back to a happy cat! I will definitely be requesting for her services again.”
“Alura is reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. Alura has taken care of Poot over the past year (although this is my first time using Rover), and I really appreciate all the love and care she gives Poot. Thanks for looking after Poot!”
About: I've been surrounded by pets my entire life there's always been a dog, cat, running around. I've learned how to handle all sorts of personalities and needs, whether it's a super energetic puppy or a chill old-timer who just needs some company and a good scratch. My family always trusted me with them so I've been the go to for feeding, walking, playing, and just generally making sure they're happy and safe. I’m currently working afternoons so I’d be able to have morning appointments and a couple days where I have the whole day available. I’ve taken care of animals my whole life so it’s pretty easy for me and following whatever instructions you have for your animals.
“Michaela recently met Vino and is working in a relationship with him. She is very kind, attentive to Vino’s needs and keeps communication open with us as parents. We can’t wait to continue partnering with her for Vino’s care.”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for chickens as well. I previously volunteered with the Humane Society for Southwest Washington (HSSW), where I worked primarily with large dogs. Through my volunteer work, I completed dog safety training and learned how to recognize and de-escalate potentially stressful situations to help keep both animals and people safe. I am also an Eagle Scout. For my Eagle Scout service project, I designed and built an outdoor shelter structure for HSSW that provides volunteers and staff with protection from the weather while supervising dogs in the play yard. Working closely with the shelter further strengthened my commitment to animal welfare and my passion for caring for pets. I am generally available after 3:00 PM on weekdays. I have classes during the mornings and early afternoons on some weekdays, but I do my best to keep my schedule flexible for pet care. Animals are always my top priority, and I am committed to making sure they receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience handling dogs of all sizes through my volunteer work at the Humane Society for Southwest Washington, where I regularly walked and worked with large dogs. I received dog safety training and learned how to recognize and de-escalate stressful situations to help keep both pets and people safe. I'm comfortable handling strong or energetic dogs and use proper leash-handling techniques to ensure walks are safe and enjoyable. Through both my volunteer experience and completing my Eagle Scout service project at the animal shelter, I have spent significant time working in environments with dogs present and understand how to remain calm, attentive, and respectful of each animal's needs. When caring for pets, I treat them as if they were my own by following their routines, respecting their boundaries, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I’ve loved and lived with animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors (furry and scaly alike), for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I found a passion and love of caring for others through learning to care for our family pets (cats, dogs, frogs, lizards, fish, hamsters, bunnies, guinea pigs, pot belly pigs, ponies, etc) who were treated largely like members of the family rather than pets. When I was older I became the family, friends, and neighborhood go-to pet sitter because of my array of experience with domestic, exotic, and farm animals from newborn all the way through senior stages of life. My first official job in high school was working for PetsMart in their PetsHotel. As an adult, my family and I have our own furry, scaly, and aquatic family members that we love dearly. I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule so it would be very easy to add drop-in care and activity time to my day to day schedule. Overnight stays could be easily scheduled with advanced notice. It is not lost on me that clients trust me with their fur-kids and their homes. I take that responsibility to heart and will always have open lines of communication and respect. I’m honored to be able to care for your pets and will always treat them like family. I’m big on pictures and sending all sorts of updates as I am providing care while you are away at work or on vacation.
“Kristin did a great job for coming to visit with our kitties while we were out of town. She fed them, visited with them, tended to anything that was needed. I'd definitely recommend her and would use her again.”
“Maria was very attentive and caring with the dogs. She went out of her way to help the dogs feel loved while I was away. I would highly recommend her to watch over anyone’s extended pet family, she truly cares and treats every pet as her own.”
About: I was a foster parent for Austin Pets Alive out of Texas for 13 years and through Laramie Peak/Oregon Humane Society for the past two years. I have experience with felines and canines of varying medical needs ranging from pills and suspensions to management of diabetes. I have a strong history and enjoy working with/training dogs from the most confident personalities through the intense pullers, overstim doggos, and reactive canines. I believe in respecting you and your animals’ boundaries and utilizing positive reinforcement only. I have open availability weekday afternoons and evenings as well as weekends. I love those early morning walks/visits as well as afternoons and evenings. If your baby is most comfortable being walked when other four legged friends aren’t around, I would love to help accommodate as I don’t hesitate coming at the wee hours or staying off the beaten path. Have a higher energy dog that likes to run and/or hike? I’m a runner and volunteer for the dog run team at Oregon Humane Society. When caring for your animal, everyone’s safety is of utmost importance! Share with me all the nuance of your baby’s personality and I’ll help them have the best and safest time! I am very mindful of my environment and respectful of other people’s and animals spaces.

I've said it many times now but Tracy is simply the best. Here is an anecdote on how amazing my wife and I think she is. It was very short notice but my wife and I wanted to get away. She is almost always available so I didn't check her schedule. Turns out, the last day of our hastily planned trip, she was unavailable for the first time ever. *gasp* Rover is great and all. I'm positive we could have found someone short notice. But... Tracy has become my wife and I's (and our fur babies') ride or die when it comes to this sort of stuff. So we did the most logical thing. We shifted our plans by a day just to be guaranteed that we could have Tracy watching over our babies. She is seriously a "we will rearrange our vacation to ensure we have Tracy" level sitter. She rocks!
Rachael was wonderful with my two super-senior cats. She was consistently punctual, which was especially important because one of my cats requires insulin at specific times. When stormy weather was predicted, she proactively offered to drive over and check on my home, which I truly appreciated. Her communication was excellent, including regular updates and photos. I would absolutely trust Rachael to care for my cats again and highly recommend her. Thank you, Rachael! 🐈🐈⬛ 🐾

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
