“Nicole was excellent. Very helpful, responsible and reliable and always responsive on texts. She also helped me out with a personal technical emergency while I was away. Leaving pets home alone is always stressful but hiring Nicole was the right decision and helped ease a lot of the stress. You can be rest assured your pet will be taken care of!”
“Rico was friendly, great communication and kept me updated with photos while away for a week. My cats had never been alone while we’ve traveled and we returned to happy healthy boys. Thank you Rico. I would definitely use again in the future.”
About: I own a Husky mix named Prisma who is turning 3 this year. She is quite energic and also epileptic. She is my daily experience. However I have sat for dog a bit bigger and much smaller! That includes Shihztus, Rottweilers, Golden Retrievers, Corgis, and Border Collies. I'm patient and responsible. My goal in any work field, but especially with your loved ones and possessions, is being reliable and communicating. This is what I find in my experience to be key for providing the best care and peace of mind. I work full time as a receptionist Mon - Fri, 8 to 4:30. This provides a lot of morning visits and overnight potential. Evening walks would works great as well. For specific requests, I can even dip into PTO to make the right situation work if a mid day visit is required during the work week. My Saturdays and Sundays are fully open at this time. I'm very patient and observant when interacting with pets of different personalities. Once informed on how you'd like your loved one to be cared for, I will do so in that manner. An obvious statement, but you'd be surprised how important that is to be said. If unsure or uncertain of care, we can brainstorm together as well to make sure I'm the correct sitter for the job.
“Saoirse did an amazing job cat sitting for us for just about a full week. She stayed at our place and kept our kitties well fed and entertained the entire time. She sent us plenty of pictures and videos everyday and she was extremely communicative the entire time. She was respectful of our home and kept the place in tip top shape. Everything looked great when we got back home and the cats seemed a lot happier and less stressed overall. We will 100% be using her again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for similar services.”
“Sarah was wonderful with our cats while we were away. She made a deliberate effort to make contact with our quite shy boy and it looks like she was successful! How could he refuse her gentle friendly invitation? Great communication as well. I highly recommend Sarah!”

About: Hey there – my name is Brittany, and I've taken care of animals my whole life. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup or cat. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures. I have a mini golden doodle who I love and adore so I understand how important your fur baby is! I have open availability! I can do same day and last minute needs for your fur baby. I believe that life happens and people have needs for their animals. No one wants to leave them home alone for an extended period of time. That’s where I come in! I will follow whatever rules and guidelines you have. I might spoil them with cuddles and playtime though! I love all animals and will take lots of walks with your dog.
“This was the first time Sunny was cared for outside his own surroundings and his first time meeting a dog. Maria was very thoughtful about Sunny’s firsts. Sunny is an investigator and enjoyed all the opportunities for adventure with Maria and her family. Maria sent photos and messages throughout the week, which we appreciated. When we need another boarding opportunity we will absolutely contact Maria.”
About: I grew up with labs, one who lived to 14 years of age. After adopting my own dog, 3 years ago she was diagnosed with Addison's disease which requires a monthly vet visit and daily pill. If your dog needs medication while you’re away, I’m willing to administer it. I work 10 minutes from home and look forward to visiting my dog on my lunch break. She could use some company while I’m at work. I’m a single mom with shared custody of 2 kids, ages 3 and 1. Your dog must be comfortable with young children. It would be a pleasure for me to look after these important members of your family. I will be sure to send you many pictures and notes! I work full time M-F, however if you’re in my radius I would love to provide drop in visits during my lunch break during the week. If you would like me to board your pet, let’s chat! If you’re boarding with me, your dog must be friendly with young children (I have a 2.5 year old & 1 year old) and will be spending the day with my dog, Brinlee! I keep my own dog on leash and if we are comfortable meeting other dogs, I always ask the other owner first only if I know my dog is okay with it! My dog is welcome on my bed at night and sits on the couch next to me. If I’m caring for your pet, it’s important that I pass the sniff test. Let’s set up a meet and greet!

About: We have a secure fenced backyard for supervised play and potty breaks. Dog hangout and sleep in the living room so they are always near people and part of the home. I’ve raised my own dog from a 2-month-old fluffball into a grown German Shepherd, which has given me firsthand experience caring for dogs through different stages of life. I also trained him to be friendly with my 3 cats, so I understand the patience and socialization it takes to help dogs & cats feel safe, comfortable, and happy at home. Available to check in on pet care every 2-4h daily on weekdays and weekends. I’m able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, playtime, and drop ins.

Inside, I have extra rooms that can be used to create separate space when needed. Safety and comfort come first!

About: About Me: Hi there! My name is Lauren, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Whether I’m giving belly rubs, taking energetic walks, or just keeping a nervous pet company, providing a safe, loving environment is my top priority. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family members behind, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. My Experience: * Lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats, and various other animals of all sizes and temperaments. * Comfortable with administering oral medications, following strict feeding schedules, and handling high-energy play. * Dedicated to keeping your home tidy, secure, and respected while you're away. What to Expect: * Frequent updates, including adorable photos and videos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. * Customized care tailored to your pet’s routine, favorite games, and comfort needs. * A clean, welcoming space when you return home—because the best vacation ending is coming home to a happy pet and a spotless house and a calm pet! I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family members! My schedule is wonderfully flexible and centered around your pets' needs. Whether I am house sitting full-time or dropping in for visits, your animals will always be my top priority. I plan my day around their feeding, walking, and medication schedules, and I generally avoid being away from the home for extended periods so your pets always feel secure and accompanied. I am currently working full-time in a remote capacity so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day. Your home and pets' safety are treated with the utmost respect. I always ensure doors and gates are securely locked, monitor outdoor environments closely, and keep toxic foods or hazards completely out of reach. I also treat your home with care—leaving spaces clean, respecting household rules, and making sure you come home to a peaceful, spotless environment.
About: I have years of experience with personal pet care, as well as pet care for friends and family members, with particular experience in feline and canine medicine procedures I am currently working part time, which provides me plenty of flexibility for pet care and fitting in the care you need on your schedule I offer pet care in clients homes only. I take care of all pets by feeding, nurturing and play, as well as any other needs specified by the pet owner
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for pets with all different personalities, ages, and needs. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, and once I was old enough, I rescued, raised, and trained two puppies of my own from just 8 weeks old. That experience taught me the patience, consistency, attention, and responsibility that go into giving an animal the care they truly need.I’ve also had the privilege of caring for my parents’ senior Great Dane, who weighed approximately 130 pounds and was diagnosed with cancer. As he reached the later stages of his life and became unable to walk on his own, I helped provide the extra patience, attention, and hands-on care he needed to remain comfortable and feel loved. That experience taught me that caring for an animal isn’t always about the easy or playful moments—it’s about being there for them through every stage of life and making sure they always feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m not a “one-size-fits-all” sitter. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to understand what makes each pet feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether they need plenty of exercise and playtime, a consistent routine, extra patience and attention, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’m prepared to give them the care they need. I work from home Monday through Friday until 4:30 PM, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet care before and after my workday. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnight care outside of my working hours, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s individual schedule and needs. When I’m caring for your pets in your home, my priority is keeping them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I take the time to follow their usual feeding, potty, walking, medication, playtime, and bedtime schedules so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll give them plenty of attention and companionship, while also respecting their space and personality. Since I work from home, I’m able to spend a lot of time with them throughout the day when I’m not working, rather than simply stopping in for a quick visit. I’ll also keep your home clean and cared for, and provide regular updates so you know how your pets are doing. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, relaxed, and well loved in the comfort of their own home.
“Abby is absolutely amazing! Definitely one of the best Rover sitters we’ve had! She met with us beforehand to review everything and stayed in communication while we were away. One of our cats got a little sick while we were gone and Abby kept us updated with how she was doing to help ease our concerns. We will absolutely be booking again the next time we are away!”

Nicole took great care of our senior cats while we were away. She left detailed Rover cards with pictures which we appreciated. Nicole messaged us with any questions and responded timely to our questions/responses. We would recommend Nicole and hope to book with her again.
They’re so good with my two cats. I was a bit shocked that my skittish one was open to coming up for treats and such after only my second booking with them! She normally never comes out for sitters. I think that a skittish cat willing to come out out when she HATES new people says a lot more review wise than anything I could say as an owner.
Jenna was fantastic with drop-ins for our cats while we went on a two week getaway. Our oldest needs oral medicine twice per day and he can be quite finicky, as cats are, and she handled it with ease. It was great seeing her photo updates of playtime each visit and knowing that both of our cats took to her in short order (even the ultra shy one!). She was very communicative and reliable throughout. I would definitely recommend Jenna and we will happily be repeat customers for any future trips!
Holly is wonderful! We were lucky she was available for a couple last-minute drop-in appointments. She texted back quickly. Our cat, who hates to be held, needs to have her paws dipped into a medication solution for as close to 5 mins as possible everyday. Not only was Holly unfazed by this task, but she was more successful with it than we often are! She is clearly familiar with animal behavior and is willing and able to adapt to pet’s personality to keep them healthy and happy. She adjusted her approach as she went based on her observations, which let me know she was really paying attention during visits. Holly is also communicative and easy to talk to. 10/10 would recommend
Jessica took care of our 2 cats for 4 days, stopping in once/day. Our cats are very social with one in particular needing a lot of love. She made sure to communicate regularly (included pictures) and was very responsive to my texts. She seemed very thorough and left the kitties well taken care of. Thank you, Jessica!
We're so grateful to Lana for taking care of our kitty babies while we were away. She's responsible, reliable and very pleasant. This was our second time leaving our cats in her care. Knowing that she was there let us enjoy our vacation without worrying about home. She's wonderful!

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 .
