“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Cat Sitter – Punctual, Responsible, and Caring I cannot recommend Mariela enough! She is incredibly punctual, responsible, and attentive to my cat, Simba. From the moment I hired her, she was highly responsive and kept me updated, which made my vacation completely stress-free. Not only did she take excellent care of Simba—who absolutely adores her and thrives under her care—but she also went above and beyond by taking out trash. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail truly set her apart. Thanks to her, I could enjoy my trip knowing Simba was in the best hands. In fact, I’m already looking forward to my next vacation because I know she’ll take care of everything perfectly! If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy cat sitter, look no further. Simba and I are so grateful for her outstanding service, and we’ll definitely be booking her again!”

About: Have had a dog all my life and was lucky enough that all our family dogs slept with me and now, of course, my two little ones and all the ones I host that like to sleep in bed too. It’s like one big slumber party, for the dogs, and well honestly, myself as well and during the winter a little extra heat. For the past 27 years I have had 4 dogs (2 of which I currently am the mother). Have personally trained them to be sociable, sweet, potty trained, and off leash doggies. Typically we go on walks throughout the day for any duration, I just read and follow what they want to do, if my older one wants to go in early I bring him in and continue with the other one. Even when I walk your dogs, I watch them to see if they need to get out more energy or still go potty and try to do my best to make sure they do before I bring them back home (sometimes my schedule or the weather does not allow the extra time, but if it does and they need it, no worries, it’s on me). In the process of an official dog training course so that I have the credentials to do train puppies and dogs on Rover soon. My passion has always been to help people and found out while doing Rover, love to help puppies and their owners too, to get the best dog for you. With consistency, patience, positive reinforcement, lots of love, talking, and more of my secret techniques we normally end up with well behaved, sociable, in the end well trained puppies and dogs. Just depends on how much time you have and what you ideally want your puppy or dog to learn and know. I have cared for puppies and my senior dogs and all the time in between. Have a very flexible schedule and would love to meet, walk, host your dog for doggy day care or to board and care for your four legged friends as if they were my own. Shhhh the dogs I host get even better service than my own dogs and my own dogs are spoiled, really spoiled. Last minute clients are encouraged and more than welcome. As it gives me a reason to keep the condo clean, daily. Love teaching puppies the way of the world. The more dogs the merrier, but if over 4 total, I enlist a friend for assistance. Every dog has unique qualities that will make things easier if I am aware in advance. Safety amd security are main considerations during my time with your dog or cat. Otherwise, if you don’t know yet, I will inform you in my rover card. We learn as we go.

“Sophia took excellent care of our cat while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind.

She took care of everything perfectly and went above and beyond to take extra precautions during the Covid-19 pandemic.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, love, and plenty of attention. Whether your pet loves playtime, enjoys relaxing and cuddling, or needs a little extra time to feel comfortable around someone new, I will always do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s routine, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet isn’t just another booking to me — they’re family, and I’ll treat them that way. ❤️ I currently work part-time on weekends, which allows me to have a flexible schedule throughout the rest of the week. I’m available most weekdays and do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine and their owner’s needs. I understand how important is for cats and dogs, so I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure I can commit to the care your cat and pups needs before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. With over 10 years of experience caring for animals, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I provide gentle, attentive care by following your instructions, maintaining feeding and exercise routines, keeping their environment clean, and making sure they have fresh food and water. Whether your dog enjoys walks and playtime or your cat prefers cuddles and a quiet space, I’ll respect their individual personality and comfort level. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your beloved companion is in caring hands while you’re away.

About: Animals have always been a very special part of my life. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, so caring for animals has been natural to me since childhood. I absolutely love animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m also a dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your pet. I know that every dog has their own personality, habits, and routine, and I always try to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playtime, basic care, and following your pet’s usual routine and your instructions. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and happy to send photos and updates during walks or visits so you can feel completely at ease while your pet is with me. I will care for your pet with the same kindness and attention I would want someone to give my own. 🐾❤️ have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s usual routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs.

About: I have long helped family and friends with watching and checking in on their own dogs and have had a passion for interacting and helping animals since I was young! I am happy to help however I can with making sure they are comfortable and content. I currently work full time in the evenings, so I have plenty of time in the morning and afternoons to play with your pets! Since I already have a routine established with taking care of my own pet, spending time and getting to know your pet’s routine will help build trust and comfort in the process. I always try to make sure I approach them in a way that they are comfortable and taken care of without making them feel threatened or not secure. I meet them where they are at to ensure trust is first and foremost.

“♥️Ashley and Andrew are a very personable and responsible couple that we had the pleasure of hiring for our cat care needs. They took A+ care of our 13 and 3 year old cats. The cats are so happy. We could tell that they were well taken care of and spoiled with attention during our vacation. These two people are high on our list of the very best kind of people that we have met and would most definately rehire. We love the ease of choosing the perfect sitters thru Rover, kind, knowledgeable, people keeping us up to date with every visit with a report and pictures♥️ Very reassuring🤗.

Warda is exceptional!!! Hands down the best cat care professional we’ve had. We’ll trust her with all of our pets in the future. She checked on our 19-year-old cat and pilled him twice per day. She played with him, groomed him, and measured his activity. She developed an intricate daily checklist, contacted us with any out of the ordinary info and observations, washed bowls and utensils, took out cat food and litter trash, vacuumed stray litter, and left things neat and organized. Wonderful, responsive communication and planning. We are in awe and were so relaxed during our week away. There aren’t enough superlatives to describe how we feel about our experience with Warda.

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 .

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 .

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.
