“Jenna is a great communicator and real pet lover! She took excellent care of our two cats when we were out of the country. We’d hire her again in a minute, and recommend here strongly.”
About: I have many dog walks under my belt, and I'm happy to throw the ball as many times as your pup will bring it back to me! I have many years of experience walking and feeding pups for family and friends, including early morning and late night potty breaks. I also have experience with vacation sitting for multiple years for the same three cats. I am competent in pill squishing an hiding, litter box cleaning, outdoor playing, tricks practice, and protecting food dishes when one pet finishes first I'm available to visit with your pet on weekdays before 730AM and after 4PM. I am available any time on the weekends for your pets! When caring for a pet in a clients home, I make sure to follow any directions left by the family diligently and keep communication high. If anything seems off with your pet, home, or anything else, I'm going to efficiently take care of any issues and share that update!
“We think Kat did a wonderful job with drop-in visits for our two cats! They are shy but everything worked out fine for all. Kat also kept my plants watered and let us know of any situations with the house since we were gone for a longer period period of time. we really appreciate her going the extra mile for us!”
“Erica did an amazing job!! Shes super kind and friendly, very attentive and great at communicating and following instructions. She kept us updated through text and pictures every day. My kitties seemed to really like her and Ill definitely use her again if I ever need a sitter.”
“Evah was very dependable and the cats seemed to love her. Their disposition when we returned from our trip was very calm. Evah shared photos daily of them both playing and interacting.”
“Karina was wonderful! She contacted me a few times to check on things like the heat in the house because it got cold, and if to use the vacuum to clean up kitty litter! Her daily reports and photos definitely helped with my anxiety over leaving my baby alone. Highly recommend Karina.”

Emma was very attentive to our cats and friendly! She accommodated anything I asked for,including different foods and feeding schedules, and her communication was great. This was my first time using rover and I think Emma will be our girl for any vacation needs for our kitties!
Suz is an extremely kind, dependable, gentle, conscientious, and professional pet sitter. I'm pretty sure my three cats are quite glad when our family goes on vacation, because they get to hang out with Suz--and they are always very relaxed and content when we return. I can't thank Suz enough!
Kaelyn was fantastic. We have a skittish cat and she managed to get our kitty to instantly like her. She came every day at the same time so our cat was waiting for her. She also spent time petting her which our cat loved. We are so pleased with the job she did and highly recommend her.
Cora was great with my 2 cats! She was even able to befriend one of them. Initially they are shy with strangers and just hide but she got one out to play with her. She kept me informed every day and sent me pictures of both cats making sure they didn't get themselves stuck somewhere as they normally do. I highly recommned Cora!

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. 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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
