“Alissa and Mario took amazing care of my shy kitty. They took the time to get to know her, kept her litter, food, and water clean and refilled and they are respectful and communicative! Definitely recommend”
“I simply can not say enough about Jade and how amazing she is! Not only a great person but she was exactly what my sweet furbabies needed! They adored her and she took the very best care of them. The pics and updates she sent were exactly what I needed during the trip confirming I had made the best decision in choosing Jade! I will be requesting Jade’s services moving forward and you should too!”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Madison😊 — she is an absolute gem! She’s been doing drop-ins for my cats, and from the very first visit, I knew they were in the best hands. Not only does she feed them and spend time with them, but she goes above and beyond — she even offered to help clean around the house, which blew me away. She’s incredibly sweet, patient, and trustworthy, and it’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. Every update from her gives me peace of mind and brightens my day. My cats adore her, and that means the world to me. It’s rare to find someone so dependable, compassionate, and professional — I’m beyond grateful to have found her. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets and your home with the same love and care as you would, look no further. She’s truly one of a kind!”
“Ella was great. Dependable, great communication and gave the kitty some needed cuddles. She even fed our pet bearded dragon which is not something a lot of people would like. Highly recommend her!”
“Allana was great. She was always on time and was great with my dog. My dog is very shy and doesn’t get comfortable with everyone but warmed up to Allana really fast. She communicated and sent me pictures and updates after every visit. I would highly recommend her.”
“Chanel is amazing and so helpful! Willing to do extra on a spur of the moment when we really needed the extra help due to weather. I highly recommend her if you need help with your pets! Thank you so much, Chanel for your time, energy, and love!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Chan and the exceptional care he provides for my fur baby. He truly goes above and beyond to make sure my pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. What I appreciate most is the peace of mind Chan gives me when I have to travel. Leaving my pet behind is never easy, but Chan is one of the very few sitters I completely trust. His reliability, compassion, and attention to detail allow me to travel feeling comfortable and stress-free, knowing my pet is in wonderful hands. Chan also keeps me updated with the sweetest pictures and videos, which means so much while I’m away. Those little updates reassure me that my fur baby is not only being cared for, but is genuinely happy and loved. Chan is truly an exceptional pet sitter, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have someone I can trust so completely. He deserves recognition for the dedication, care, and peace of mind he provides to both pets and their owners.”
“Evelyn was great for our two kitties. She was very kind and trustworthy. We even had to through some last minute details to our request and she did everything we needed without issue.”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats over the last 25 years. I have my own dog and cat but have also cared for friends dogs and cats. I currently cannot have them in my home but it is easy for me to let them out, walk them, feed them, brush them and give them love. I have given medication to both dogs and cats and have cared for seniors as well. I am available evenings and weekends. I work Monday through Friday, with a volunteer job Sunday mornings. I am able to care after 4:30pm during the week and pretty much all day on Saturday. If I am letting your pet outside at your house I will be with them and watch them the whole time. I am unable to have them in my home at this time. I will spend time playing fetch or whatever I can to make your dog/cat happy.
“Brittany was great. 1st time using her. She communicated, sent photos, and completed the things we requested. It was comforting to know that our cats were taken care of while we were away.”
“Kierstynn did a great job with our girls. She is reliable, kind and cares for our girls as if they were her own. It’s been such a relief for us to know we have someone trust worthy. We greatly appreciate her pet sitting! Will definitely continue to book with her.”
“Becca was amazing! Super friendly, came over for a meet & greet before we left & was very communicative for the duration of our absence. She sent pictures every day & even volunteered to bring our trash bins in from the street. Highly recommend & will definitely book with her again.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Jacksonville
We can not begin to express our gratitude for Alissa and Mario! They went above what was expected and helped to relieve some of our anxiety over our girl getting loose. We absolutely HIGHLY recommend them and as long as they are here we will be using them again! ❤️ Rachael & Taylor
Jade was amazing! She went above and beyond what I requested and honestly it was so refreshing coming back from traveling and not having to do anything immediately for my cats. I will definitely be rebooking her again for any future travel plans I have if she is available!
I recently hired Andrea to care for my two cats, Casper and Spirit, while I was away, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She was exceptionally reliable, communicative, and attentive to every detail of their care routine. Casper and Spirit can be a bit shy with new people, but they warmed up to Andrea right away — a true testament to her calm and caring nature. I received regular updates and photos, which gave my wife complete peace of mind knowing they were happy, well-fed, and comfortable at home. I came back to two relaxed, well-cared-for cats and a tidy home. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and genuine affection Andrea showed toward my pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter.

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.

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 .
