“Alexandria is my go-to and most trusted cat sitter! She's communicative and she takes good care of my cat. I appreciate that she takes the time to play with her and get to know her. You won't go wrong with Alexandria!”

About: Hi! I’m Kris — a lifelong animal lover, experienced caregiver, and proud pet parent myself. After years working professionally as a nanny and preschool teacher, I understand how important trust, patience, and reliability are when caring for someone you love. I share my home with my rescue cat, Cosmo, who found me as a sick stray and quickly became the tiny king of the household. I have also been a shelter volunteer for many years, so I'm good with rescues and seniors. I’d love to help local families with dependable walks, check-ins, and companionship for their pets. Whether your pet loves a long stroll, a little extra playtime, or just a friendly face while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and appreciated. I believe every pet has their own personality (and usually very strong opinions!), and I love getting to know what makes each one special. I work at a restaurant in the evenings, but I'm looking forward to dedicating my mornings/ early afternoons to caring for YOUR fur baby! I'm also available weekends and most holidays. When caring for pets, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I'm detail-oriented and will always follow an owner's care instructions carefully. I understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home. My years working as a nanny and preschool teacher taught me the importance of reliability, clear communication, and caring for someone’s family member exactly the way their family would want. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and notes so you know your pet is happy and cared for while you’re away!
“Suli was AWESOME! I’m very nervous about leaving my cat (Nuit) but Suli put my mind at ease. At our meet and greet she was punctual, friendly, and took notes while we spoke. During her check-ins, she sent lots of photos and went above and beyond to make sure Nuit was happy by playing with her and even creating enrichment activities. Highly recommend booking Suli and I will definitely use her in the future!”
“Nicole did a great job. My furry friends were in excellent hands. They were just as I left them, content kitties. Kitchen looked cleaner than when I left.”
“Patty was a great sitter and very attentive to my cat. It was the first time that I’ve left Nora with someone from Rover and I was a little nervous because she has pre-existing health conditions, but it was a smooth experience.”
“Karina is an excellent pet sitter. She was able to quickly bond with the bunnies. She went above and beyond to help us with anything and everything. Her communication was great throughout sharing pictures at every visit. She is a star pet sitter and super star person. Highly recommend”
About: I’ve taken care of cats my whole life! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed, and play with their cats. Their safety and happiness is always my top priority :) I’m currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule to fit whatever care you’re looking for! Whether it’s drop-ins or multi-day care, I’m there! I keep safety and consent at the forefront of my care by making sure the environment is secure and safe from any hazards. I also prioritize a calm, stress-free environment to allow kitty’s to feel comfortable, whether they’re ready to play or prefer to sleep alllll day.
“Clifmon was amazing with my cat. He gave me daily updates and photos of my cat. Not only did he meet her needs physically (food, water & treats) but also kept her stimulated throughout the day with all her toys.”
About: I have taken care of animals since i was in middle school. I have a dog and cat of my own and i love them so much. Seeing them satisfied throughout the day and loving them is the best feeling I’m currently going to college monday- Thursday. However i have a lot of free time so my schedule will be flexible. I enjoy animals! My house if full of love having 3 siblings that all adore animals as we already have 2. And we all walk our dog and feed them whenever is needed- No arguments there- we make sure our dog is full!!
About: Hi, I’m Arobi! As a pet parent to my cat Tutun, I know how much love—and trust—goes into letting someone care for your furry family member. I have one year of dog-walking experience, and I’d love to give your pup some fresh air, company, and time to enjoy their favorite sniffing spots. I offer one-on-one walks so your dog gets my full attention, with a pace that suits them and your instructions always in mind. You’ll receive a photo and a little update after every walk. Before our first booking, we’ll meet to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I’m available for weekend walks, with pickup and return outside your building with you present. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I offer dog walks on Saturdays and Sundays, with times arranged together before booking. I keep my schedule manageable so your pup gets my full attention and an unhurried walk. You’ll receive a photo and a little update afterward! I want both you and your dog to feel comfortable with me. We’ll meet before our first booking to discuss their routine and make sure we’re a good fit. I walk one dog at a time, check that their leash and harness are secure, and keep them leashed throughout. Pickup and return take place outside your building with you present.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 12, along with 2 younger siblings, and managing school at the same time so I’ve developed some good habits and have a sense of the importance it is to have a happy healthy dog. From Monday through Friday I’m busy, but on the weekends I never have anything to do so I’m able to put all my attention to taking care of any animal. In my home I take care of my pets by following a regular schedule. Mornings normally at 5am walk them out for them to do their business, I bring them back home, feed them and head out to work and leave them with dog pads in case they need to pee or poop and no one is home. I get back home at 5pm and walk them out again, feed them, and another walk at 9pm. My cats I check their litter daily for any poop that needs to be cleaned, I feed them in the morning and when I get back from work.
“We had Aiyesha stay in our home to watch our two kittens while we were away and we could not be more pleased. Great communication, very calm energy, and left our place sparkling clean. It means a lot of us to have found someone so wonderful that we can trust to watch our fuzzy family members. Thank you!”
“Rachel is quick to respond, punctual, and great with the cats! She was able to administer oral medication and followed directions well. She had a very calming energy and got my shy cat to come out on her own and feel comfortable. I’m very happy with the care she provided my fur babies on short notice.”
About: I've been a devoted pet owner for the past 10 years, so I understand the day-to-day realities of animal care, feeding routines, exercise needs, and the little things that make a pet feel at home. A few years back, I also spent 6 months working at a veterinary clinic, where I learned to recognize signs of illness or discomfort, assist with medications, and stay calm and steady in stressful situations. I bring a decade of real, hands-on pet care experience and a genuine love for animals to every stay. I treat every home and pet as if they were my own, sticking closely to your pet's normal routine, giving plenty of attention and exercise, and staying alert to anything unusual. I know it's not easy leaving your pets behind, even for a short trip. I'd love the chance to earn your trust and show you how much care and attention I'll bring to keeping them happy, healthy, and comfortable while you're away. On weekdays, I am available in the mornings until 11:30am and again from 7pm and after. I am available all day on weekends. I'm a part-time grad student and part-time employee, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I'm typically available weekday mornings and all day on weekends — great for house sitting stays, drop-ins, or trips that start or end on a weekend. My schedule can shift slightly week to week depending on classes and work, so I'll always confirm availability before accepting a booking. When I house sit, I treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I stick closely to your pet's established routine: feeding times, walks, playtime, and bedtime, so there's as little disruption to their normal life as possible. I keep a close eye out for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health, and I'm comfortable administering medication if needed thanks to my time working at a veterinary clinic. I'm respectful of your space and belongings, keep the home clean and secure, and make sure doors, windows, and any pet gates or fences are properly closed at all times. I'll send regular updates and photos so you can relax and enjoy your trip knowing your pets and your home are in good hands.
About: Lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent. Experienced with loyal dogs like my childhood pit bull, Simba, and my sweet new kitty. Cozy home care awaits! I am a full-time student in the mornings, which means I am home and fully available every afternoon, evening, and all weekend long! My schedule allows me to give visiting cats and my new kitten plenty of playtime, attention, and supervision throughout the rest of the day and overnight. When I care for a pet in their own home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know how much comfort pets find in their normal routine, so I treat their space with total respect while keeping areas super tidy. Beyond the basics like fresh food and clean water, I love spending quality time playing, chatting, and giving them chin scratches so they never feel lonely. You can always count on me to keep a watchful eye on your home and give your furry best friend all the patient, gentle care they deserve.
“Jialarie was extremely helpful with our kitties while we were away for the holidays. Always on time and communicative if anything came up. Highly recommend her for your pet!”
About: I have a Siberian Husky who is 6 years old and I raised him since he was a 10 weeks. I also took care of a Dobberman Pinscher for about 5 years until I moved. I also have various experiences cat sitting. For 4 months, my friends cat stayed with me while she went overseas. I have a great amount of patience, love, and energy to make sure your dog or cat have a great and safe time. I love taking dogs on long park walks. My apartment is clean and pet friendly for all shapes and sizes! I am also willing to dog or cat sit at your home! Currently, I'm a college student, and I have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I recently reenrolled in college so I am home most days studying and hanging out with my dog Riku. I walk him three times a day. After coffee, after his lunch, and 9-10pm just in case. No children in the home. Very clean pet proof environment. Very mindful of keeping floors clean and foods in safeguarded areas that pets cannot get to.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Inwood
Our cats absolutely love Angelique! They are always so happy to have her visit and care for them. She is incredibly detailed and always sends us lots of photos. She also makes sure to spend a lot of time with them, playing, petting and generally giving them attention. Highly recommended!!!
Aisha is a great communicator and has taken care of our cat several times now. I love getting daily updates and cute photos. I feel comfortable going away and know that I can trust Aisha to provide excellent care and of course give lots of snuggles to Georgie. Thank you 😻
As always, Gwen was incredibly attentive to our two cats and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable and well cared for while we were away on a long vacation. She even made thoughtful suggestions to improve their comfort and kept us updated throughout our trip. Gwen is extremely communicative, responsible, and dependable, and we always feel at ease knowing our cats are in her care.
Alexandria took care of my two kitties for 2 weeks while I was away. It was my first time using her and I was very nervous. However, when she came over to meet me and the kitties I was very impressed with her. She answered all of my concerns and had a lot of good questions of her own about my cats and their care. I felt very comfortable letting her into my home and taking care of my cats. I was not disappointed! She sent me detailed notes and photos every day, and my kitchen was as neat and clean as when I left. If you are looking for someone trustworthy and good with skittish cats, I HIGHLY recommend Alexandria!
Ayanna saved the day for us! We were halfway through a 2 week trip across the world when our original sitter became injured and was unable to continue looking after our cat. We had a crazy time difference and scrambled when we woke up to the messages from the original sitter, realizing our cat hadn’t been visited that day. I found Ayanna and she immediately accepted our extremely panicked last minute request. Within an hour or two, she grabbed the keys from the original sitter and went over to visit and feed our cat. She was a LIFESAVER and we felt so relieved. For the next week we got daily updates, pics, videos, and she kept the space tidy. I would highly recommend Ayanna to look after your pets!!!
Charlie took great care of our two kitties and made sure they got plenty of attention while we were gone. She sent lots of pics and left the apartment in spotless condition despite a few accidents from our guys. She was great at communicating and was very punctual. Would highly recommend!
Anna-Laurie was a blessing, through and through. She took GREAT care of our two lil feline furballs— with excellent report cards that were so personal, thorough, and full of photos. She has an excellent personality to boot 👢Will 110% rebook with her in the future (and you should too).

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 .

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
