“She did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. She took great pictures of them too which was really nice to see. Great sitter and will definitely be using again in the future!”
“Aimee is fantastic! She took amazing care of my two cats during a cross-country move and kept the two fluffs happy and healthy during a stressful transition. Aimee is incredibly knowledgeable about cats, is warm and considerate, and gave my kitties so much love while I was gone. She provided fantastic pictures and updates and totally set me at ease! Wish I were more local as Aimee would absolutely be my go-to cat sitter. 11/10 - thanks so much to Aimee and her family for the excellent care!”
“Nev was awesome with our cats, making sure all their quirks were taken care of! Very friendly and can tell she really cares about the animals - we will definitely be using her services in the future!”
About: I grew up on a farm so I have lots of experience with all kinds of animals. I currently volunteer with BARCS and SPCA and frequently take on high needs medical fosters. I will happily care for your animals based on their individual needs no matter how complex. I'm free most weekday afternoons and weekends, I have a pretty flexible schedule so I can work around your needs in a lot of cases I'm available for drop in visits and some overnight stays. I'll treat your home and pets with the same care and consideration as my own.
“Emily was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Tiger! From the very beginning, she was attentive, gentle, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Tiger was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for when I returned — always the best sign. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet. Thank you so much, Emily!”
About: I have grown up with Pitbulls and Frenchies my whole life so I am confident that I can take great care of your beloved pet! I work from home and will be with your lovely dog all day (unless I need to go out to run an errand) so no need for you to be worried that they’ll be alone! I prefer to crate any dogs that are not mine while I am away from the home just to make sure everyone has their own space. If Dog is not crate trained, then I will place them in a room if I need to leave the house.
“Sara took excellent care of our cat! I would highly recommend her. She was prompt, professional, and communicative. We really enjoyed her attention to detail in writing the daily notes & in the photos she shared. We missed our fur baby but her personal notes made it easier knowing she was being well taken care of. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
About: I've been a cat mom for many years and understand their personality and needed care. I've been around dogs of family members and friends too. Would love to help you with your little ones. I'm retired and can fit in most any hour of the day and be flexible. I would only take the days and hours I could honestly fit in without rushing. Currently I am without my own pet as my sweet cat passed away from an unexpected and incurable cancer. Visiting your home, I would respect your pet and home as if they were mine.
“Ryder seemed to take to Kayla fast, usually he runs and hides. I was surprised when Kayla sent me a picture of her petting him and brushing him. I was so happy to see that! Kayla didn't make it to the last visit because of a family emergency, but I actually got home earlier than I expected. So he didn't have to wait to long to get his breakfast. I would definitely use Kayla again and would recommend her to others.”
About: I am a big animal lover! I have had many animals growing up (cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pig & ducks!) I also pet sit for a family who had 3 cats, I have worked with them for 1 year now. I currently have an orange tabby named Theo, he is my world. Me & my spouse adopted him 2 years ago from the Humane Society & he has been the perfect addition to our little family. I am here to love your fur babies! Please feel reach out me with any questions. Thanks! I work a regular full time job. I have fostered 2 cats before and it was a wonderful experience. Most of the time spent with the cats, would be in the morning and all evening long after work to take care and love them. I have an apartment building that is very secure, you can only gain access the to building if you have a key fob. The animals have plenty of space to move around and be free, or sleep super comfy on my furniture.
“Michael was an awesome pet sitter for my 2 kitties. Each time Michael visited them, he made sure to spend quality time with them. He even worked himself to get the cats to come to him. My girl cat, it takes patience with her as she is very scared and hides and Michael really wanted her to get some attention. There was a slight break in her when Michael wanted to stop by to feed them dinner with my approval even though he was only instructed to just feed them breakfast. Good job Michael and think you so much for being available to take care of them! I will use you again in the future!”
About: I grew up with pets and have experience with dogs and cats of various ages and sizes! I am comfortable training puppies and administering medication. I adore animals and understand that each pet has a different personality with different needs, I can’t wait to meet your pet! I have a girl dog (5 years old) and a boy cat (2 years old) that are my whole world. I am used to taking my dog out for walks multiple times a day, feeding them both, changing litter, and giving them lots of love! Every pet is different so I will always stop by for an introductory visit before we book to ensure that I am the right fit for your fur babies! During that visit I will also make sure that I understand your pet’s routines and needs so that they can get the care they need!
“Well first of all she brought me a donut at the meet and greet… Elizabeth is the best! So thorough and thoughtful with my kitties. I knew from the moment I met her that they would be in good hands with her. Her husband Rich is great too!”

Abigail was amazing with checking in on my pets while I was away, especially with my kitty not being the most social around other people. She is trustworthy, attentive to details and did everything I asked of her including watering my plants, feeding my turtle, checking my cat’s automatic litter box, putting cat tv on for my kitty, even throwing away and putting our trash out for the collectors and ensuring she left the house clean and secured. I highly recommend her and will be using her again for future care!
Shannon is a great sitter for my cats while I was away on a 3-week European trip. She made sure that my cats were fed and very happy with her. Very plesed with her quick responses and notes describing how my cats are doing. I will have her again in the near future!!
I really cannot say enough wonderful things about Veronica! This was our 3rd booking with Veronica while we were out of town, and as usual, she was amazing. Our once shy and skittish kitty has become comfortable with Veronica and her check ins - that in and of itself was a huge success! I’m always so grateful for Veronica and her ability to put my mind at ease. I trust her wholeheartedly to care for our girls in our absence. Thank you for the fabulous care and concern you always provide!!

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.

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 .
