“Misty was great! She was very nice & kind to my cat, Maru, and did everything that Maru needed while I was gone. She also shared several photos, which were very nice to see! I can see that Maru enjoyed the time with her?”
“Zexin took amazing care of our kitties and garden while we were traveling for the holiday weekend. She was timely, courteous, and very thoughtful with her updates. We would love to book with Zexin in the future and highly recommend her for catsits!”
“WOW!! I have to say the best pet sitter in Rover! Chloe was absolutely wonderful with our two cats! She was incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive, and we could tell right away that our cats were in great hands. She was always on time and extremely communicative, keeping us updated and making sure we knew how everything was going. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that Chloe was taking such great care of our cats while we were away. She was reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful with them. We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and would absolutely recommend Chloe to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We will definitely book her again! 🐱🐱❤️ Forever grateful with Chloes pet sitting services. THANK YOU!!!”
“Nancy has cat sit Ellie several times and she does an amazing job! Ellie can be shy or wary of strangers but she warmed up to Nancy quickly. Ellie is always in good spirits when I come home from a trip—I’m sure she would give 5 stars as well!”
“Eliza was a fantastic sitter! She sent photos everyday and was sure to let me know how my kitty was doing. I will definitely consider Eliza when I need a sitter again in the future!”
About: I grew up in somewhat of a menagerie in south Florida where we had lots of property and animals like 5 Akitas, a ring tailed lemur, a kinkajou, 2 house cats and 2 big cats (lynx & bobcat). I am no stranger to rolling up my sleeves at home or for my clients. I've cared for pets internationally in Morocco and domestically in NYC. As a natural caregiver and as a clinical social worker I have the highest standards when it comes to those in my charge. I currently work remotely on a part time basis as a recruiter and a caregiver for my grandmother. We have a full house with support coming from many directions and I am looking for a way to make a little extra cash while spending time with animals. My grandmother and husband would prefer not to have a permanent pet, so this is a great compromise. As a clinical social worker I take my work with humans and pets very seriously. It's a mission and I took an oath as an MSW graduate to do my best for all in my charge. My home is in a quiet residential neighborhood in Jackson Heights near a dog park. My home is secure, comes with a backyard and is very clean. Nothing would please me more than to have a furry guest from time to time.
“Adam once again watched Rose and did a great job. His extra care and focus gives me so much peace of mind every time I have to go out of time. He's an outstanding pet sitter and I can't recommend him enough.”
“Super cat sitter!!! I highly recommend Chris to all the furry parents. He is very considerate, checks in several times a day with pictures and updates. He was concerned that one of my kitties didn't eat the entire food on her dish and he reached out to ask if he could change anything. The other cat liked him right away, he sent me a picture of them hanging out on the couch. I will surely hire him next time I'm away; he made my trip less stressful.”
“Our cat Teddy was glad to see Vanessa again for a couple days while we were out of town. She took good care of him and provided updates and photos. Vanessa is easy to work with, and we appreciated her prompt and thorough communication before, during, and after her visits as needed. Thank you!”
“Haruna took great care of my cat while I was away for 3 weeks. She followed the schedule and instructions perfectly and made sure to give some tender care and company to my pet. She sent me photos and videos each visit. She even went above and beyond with helping with an issue in my apartment and watering my plant.”
“I could tell right away that Alexandra is a cat lover. She came in to take care of my two cats while I was out of town overnight. Even though she didn't have to, she tidied up after their feedings. Alexandra is kind and communicative and I would love to work with her again!”
“Bri was fantastic watching our cat Coco while we were away in Florida! Coco is usually quite shy with strangers, but Bri was incredibly patient with her and by day 2 of our trip Coco had already come out of her shell and was begging Bri for belly rubs! Bri went above and beyond by even cleaning Coco’s dishes, and shared great photos during her visits! We are so happy we found a reliable and communicative sitter and will definitely be using Bri again! :)”
“Bianca was amazing! It was our first time booking with her and everything went seamlessly. Our cat who typically always hides from pet sitters actually came out and got a few pets which really put my mind at ease while we were away. Bianca clearly really cares and was attentive to all of my senior kitty’s needs. I hope to be able to book with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up with family dogs and used to be a dog foster parent for around 3 years. I have taken care of all ages, from puppies to senile dogs and everything in between. My family members have cats and I understand their care needs also. I regularly pet sit for my friends with dogs and cats when they go out of town. I love all pets like they are my own. I’m currently a full time student so I have ample time during the day to pop by or stay and take care of pets. My class schedule is concentrated in the evenings so I have flexibility for mornings, afternoons, and night visits. I live in a small apartment with plenty of park space nearby. While I don’t have any pets of my own, my house is pet proof and there is little access to any plants or items on the floors that can make your pets sick. I am comfortable with litter boxes, all kinds of wacky feeding schedules, and any other needs your pet may have ♡
“Devon was literally the best Rover pet sitter I have ever had! She really took care of our boys and gave them enrichment as well. She sent lots of photos and gave detailed descriptions of how the visits went. We had so much peace away knowing she was watching our kitties!”
About: I have always been surrounded by dogs and cats and I thoroughly enjoy being in their company. I have an immense love for animals and find great joy in spending time with them. I am currently taking online classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I am able to dedicate plenty of time to spending quality time with your best friends. I have veterinary experience from working at an animal hospital, which has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. I am detailed oriented and thrive on following directions precisely to ensure the best possible care for your furry friends.
“Rose was really great with my cats and they seemed to take to her very quickly. She followed all instructions left, if she had any questions she reached out and was ready to get a hold of and response time was great. I will definitely use her again”
“Katherine was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my cat while I was out of town, even going above and beyond to make sure she had clean water when her water fountain broke. I can’t recommend Katherine highly enough!!”

Laura has been taking care of Flurry regularly for the past few weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. She is thoughtful, organized, respectful, and compassionate, and I especially appreciate how much she adapts to Flurry’s individual preferences. He’s a very easily scared kitty, but Laura is incredibly patient and gentle, taking the time to build his trust drop-in by drop-in. I’m confident that he’ll continue to slowly open up to her, and Ill continue to book her services :)
Kiana is such a wonderful cat sitter. She is prompt and easy to communicate with. She takes amazing photos of our cat and leaves a cute, detailed note about their time together. Best of all, our Gus loves her and looks forward to their time together. We’ve booked Kiana a bunch of times and will continue to use her as long as we can!
Rebecca was awesome! We had a death in the family quite suddenly, and she responded to us within minutes. Our cats were calm and well fed, and she made key drop off and pick up so easy. She was also very thorough and asked all the right questions. I’d highly recommend her for pet sitting to anyone!
Jenna was amazing!! I just adopted a new bunny and he was having a lot of anxiety when he was left alone so I needed a last minute sitter to check on him. Jenna was so quick to reply and was over in less than an hour! She provided quick updates and even had great advice from her past experience with bunnies. I 100% would book Jenna again
I feel very lucky to have Xiaoying taking care of Baobao! Baobao has always been a very shy little kitten to strangers, but Xiaoying got on well with her quickly during the first couple visits. Xiaoying took care of Baobao nicely, spent time playing with her and gave her a lot of care and love during the visit. Very reliable, I’m sure Baobao and I would love to meet Xiaoying 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Meet & Greet .
