“Susan is our go to. She’s basically our pets’ god mother 🤣. Not only is she a phenomenal pet sitter with cute pics and updates.. But her knowledge of animal behavior is impeccable. 100/10 recommend her to pet sit as well as training sessions. She’s been with us since we first brought our puppy home and has made such a positive impact on her behavior. I always tell my friends/family about her!❤️”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for over 10 years. I have grown up with both cats and dogs, and I currently have a 3 year old cat of my own. I also volunteer with BARCS for their dogs day out program, so I have a lot of experience with big dogs. I currently work full time in logistics, and I work from home 3 days a week. I have free time throughout the day on my remote days and on the weekends as well. I always like to take care of animals as if they are my own. Your animals will always be safe and secure and I always go the extra mile to make sure they are as comfortable and safe as possible.
“Christina was the best cat sitter we have had! Extremely responsive, extremely attentive to our three cats with very different personalities. Sent us a ton of photos to keep us updated and even helped us grab our mail when we got an unexpected delivery. We will 10000% rebook with Christina again!”

About: In addition to being a lifelong cat owner, I have fostered hundreds of cats and kittens for the MD SPCA. This means I have given hundreds of medications, thousands of pets, and cleaned tens of thousands of litter boxes - and loved every minute of it! I am very comfortable feeding, caring for, playing with, and cleaning up after cats and kittens, and I am excited to meet yours! As a pet parent myself I know how much I worry about my home and pets while I am away, and how important a good pet sitter is to ensuring that we are all comfortable during that time. I look forward to providing you and your pet with the same peace of mind I look for when I am away. I work part-time in a remote environment, so I have a high degree of control over my schedule and can meet your pets' needs in whatever way you would prefer. I have a dedicated foster space in my own home. When in others' homes, I have a strong focus on hygiene, and work to understand the rules, routines, and expectations of each home so that both people and pets feel most comfortable with me being there. I will ask questions if I need to and document my actions each visit to ensure that the highest quality care is given.
About: I have been dogsitting, catsitting, and housesitting since I could drive. I am very consistent with young, old, and special needs pets. I have a standard poodle with oodles of energy at home and two cats. I have a regular work schedule and a lot of extra time to spend on my pets and yours. I love spending time outside, training, and playing with dogs. I seem to have more energy than my poodle, who often needs a nap break from me… Therefore it is very easy for me to prioritize spending time with and taking care of your pet! I have a large fenced in yard and a crate trained, high energy poodle at home. They can play or be easily kept separate. In your home, I would be as respectful and tidy as if it were mine.
“Destiny was such a lifesaver over the holidays. She took our booking on very short notice after our other pet sitter cancelled, and provided excellent care to our cat. She sent tons of pictures and updates each day as well. Would absolutely recommend Destiny to anyone!”

About: Hi! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have cared for all kinds of pets over the years. Growing up, my family always had dogs, so I learned early on how to handle everything from playful puppies to senior dogs who needed a little extra attention. As an adult, I’ve personally owned small caged pets and currently own 2 cats, giving me a well-rounded understanding of different animal personalities and care needs. I currently share my home with two adopted cats, each with their own unique story and background. With patience and care, I was able to successfully introduce them to each other despite their age difference and differing temperaments—it was so rewarding and relieving to see them become friends! I understand that every pet is unique and deserves compassionate, individualized care, and I treat every animal I meet like one of my own. I currently work a full time job with the military during the week, but am home early in the afternoon to provide care, comfort, and cuddles to my furry friends and yours! I have a spacious apartment with lots of toys and 2 friendly cats to keep tour furry friend company. Walking around my neighborhood is a breeze with pet pickup spots along the way and a safe environment for walks no matter what time.
“Anna is for real, the best! Every time we need to leave our boys at home we ask her to watch them because we love her so much! She’s always on time, sends lots of pictures, and takes care of our furry guys like they were her own. We would pick Anna over any other pet sitter or kennel every time.”

About: Drawing on extensive dog care expertise, I guarantee a tailored experience for your canine companions. From walks to playtime, your furry friend's happiness and well-being are my top priorities. I’m currently a student so weekends are when I’m able to take care of your canine and feline friends the best! Besides that, I’d be happy to take them on walks, hang with them, or both on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. In your home, I prioritize your pet's comfort and routine. From regular walks and playtime to feeding and cuddles, I ensure a stress-free environment, maintaining their well-being with love and attention.
About: I am reliable and trustworthy! I have worked closely with families for 5 + years, walking their dogs daily and house sitting and caring for their beloved pets while the owners traveled. I am available daily, mornings, afternoons and evenings, I just ask for 24-hr notice so I can plan accordingly! I am happy to walk them for atleast 15-20 minutes so they can stretch their legs and get out some energy! I also am happy to feed them for their routine meals if you are unable to do so. I am comfortable walking your dog if there is a safe space to do so, or playing with them in your fenced in yard, it is what you are comfortable with.

About: I’ve been a pet owner most of my life and have taken care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I am the one they always rely on to care for there’s pets and I hope to do the same for you. I’m currently looking for a job, so I will have lots of free time to care for your pets, and with flexible scheduling to what days you might need. Caring for pets at the client’s home I would make sure to ask where they keep the food, treats, toys for the pets, and cleaning supplies just in case if they make an accident by chance.
“Megan was wonderful to have stay with our cats! Everything went great from start to finish. The house was left in good order, and our cats seemed happy and well cared for when we got home. She followed all of our instructions, sent pictures and regular updates, and even went above and beyond by feeding the stray cats we’ve been trying to take care of. We really appreciated how thoughtful and responsible she was throughout the stay. There’s nothing negative to note, and we would definitely recommend Megan to others. We’d be happy to have her stay again!”

About: I grew up around several cats and dogs in his family household, and love caring for the chaotic puppies, enigmatic cats, and senior dogs. Out of passion for being around playful pets again, I intend to invest in toys that my cute clients would love to play with in the time we are together. As a working performer and teaching artist, I do various part-time work, so I am very flexible during the week, especially Mondays through Saturdays. I am also open for overnight shifts and would be happy to take your pets for a jog and get my own exercise in while ensuring they get theirs! I love to cook so if you want me to cook for your pets I would absolutely love to do so if the materials are provided. I love cuddles, walks, and jogs, so your pet won't get bored with me.

About: I absolutely adore all animals. I've helped take care of my family's pets for many years. I am also an approved veterinary assistant, and as such have taken care of cats and dogs of all sizes. My schedule has recently been freed up, so I would love to fill some time taking care of your pets! My schedule is very flexible. I understand pets can have very strict schedules that they are used to, and am able to comply to any specifics that need to be met.
About: I grew up with a highly energetic German Shepherd as a teen and have lived with and cared for multiple cats as an adult. Aside from that, I’ve done pet and house sitting for friends, neighbors, and acquaintances for several years. More than anything, I find animals fascinating, and I bring curiosity and a genuine interest in each pet’s unique personality. I’m currently taking a sabbatical from work so my schedule is very flexible. I can do house sitting any day of the week but walks and drop-ins are by arrangement only. When house sitting, I make it a priority to maintain your pet’s existing routine as closely as possible; same feeding times, same walks, same sleeping arrangements. Familiar schedules go a long way toward keeping pets calm and relaxed while their owners are away. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and ask clarifying questions upfront so there are no surprises. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior or health, and will reach out promptly if anything seems off
About: My schedule is flexible for both weekdays and weekends. I am available for one time drop ins or two visits a day. If you expect to be needing care for a longer period of time (3 weeks or more) we can discuss discounted options to suit your needs. I care for cats according to their individual routines and personalities. I pay attention to their behavior and make sure they’re eating, drinking, and behaving normally. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and always make sure the home is clean and secure before leaving.
About: I am the go to person for taking care of everyone else's pets. I love all the furry and non furry animals. Except snakes. That's a different ballgame. I currently work a part time job. I also have 4 kids on school. I am flexible primarily during the school hours, evenings and weekends. I have one dog, rat terrier who thinks he runs the show. But the true queens are my two cats, Oreo and Kitty kitty. My now 11 year old named both of them.

Lorraine took amazing care of my two cats while I was away. She shared really helpful updates throughout the trip and was especially attentive when she noticed a concern with one of my cats. I really appreciated how communicative, thoughtful, and reliable she was, and I felt much better knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again!

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.

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 .
