“Our kitty is high maintenance with her eating and meds, but Courtney had her under control. We appreciated the updates, the planning in advance of our absence, and the very timely responses to all of our messages! We would highly recommend Courtney to our neighbors!”
“Keri did an excellent job making sure our cats were happy while we were away! She is kind, thorough, and very communicative, as well as great with animals. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“Barb is the greatest and the best! We are always happy when she has an opening for us. The dog is calm and relaxed, and we get to see the walks she took while we were gone! Barb is flexible and patient with the dog and with us. Thanks, Barb!”
“Marilyn went above and beyond taking care of our little cat. She is really great! She spent her time in each visit and you could tell she enjoys the time with the pet. We found out little one in perfect condition when we were back. Marilyn is absolutely trustworthy and we will definitely book with her again for future moments. So lucky we found her! :)”
“Amanda took care of our three cats while we were away. She kept us in the know of what was going on at home. Leaving parts of your family is stressful but having Amanda check in on them made our travel stress free! Thank you Amanda!”
“My weird cats and I adore Allie. I volunteered at a couple of shelters / rescues and truly have some quirky cats, but Allie acted like they were as normal as they come. She was not fazed by their individual eating preferences, oral meds, and sometimes cranky attitudes. Allie also sent daily updates with photos and I have not felt this at ease traveling in a very long time. I'm sure Allie is excellent with dogs, but if you are looking for someone who is amazing with cats, this is your sitter!”
“Great cat sitter! She took excellent care of our cats, Lilo and Lila, and kept us updated while we were away. Reliable, caring, and easy to trust — we’d happily book her again.”
“Lucy was awesome! Fast communication, great pictures of the cats while we were away. All 3 cats seemed to really like her which is amazing. There was a bad storm and some of our plants fell over on our balcony and she picked them up for us as well. Would highly recommend her services and would definitely book with her again!”
“Jenna looked after my 2 cats while I was away. She was very patient with my super anxious kitty, and made him feel comfortable enough to come out of hiding. I will definitely book again in the future.”
“This is the second time Ally has watched my cat Freyja and she’s seen more of her than any other sitter! She’s done a great job getting Freyja comfortable with her visiting and sends great updates on how Freyja’s doing and proof of care. Thank you!”
“Christina did a great job! She was really sweet with my cat. She had really positive energy and clear communication. I'll definitely try to book her again the next time I'm out of town.”
About: I have taken care of dogs a lot throughout my life. I used to walk dogs in my neighborhood all the time. 4 years ago I got my own puppy and trained him. Now we walk around 5 miles everyday I walk my dog multiple times a day and I love to go on long walks. I have a waitressing job in the summer and I like to spend the rest of my days outside playing with dogs. I care for my puppy so much and I am always playing with him and never leaving him by himself. I make sure that he is always happy and healthy
About: I’ve loved and been around animals since childhood. Growing up, my family had both cats and dogs. As an adult, I now have 2 cats of my own. I’m very passionate about human-animal connection. I am currently a graduate student taking night classes two days a week. This is something I’m hoping to fill my spare time with :) I view and treat animals with the same respect as I do people. Pets need not only the necessities, but a high level of emotional attention.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Jenkintown
Courtney did a great job for us! We have two spoiled kitties and I have a long list of instructions for their care while we're away. That didn't phase Courtney and she followed them all to a tee. Our one cat who needs a pill every other day, proved elusive two times, but Courtney did try her hardest and spent extra time trying to coach her out of hiding. Courtney also went above and beyond by bringing in mail and removing trash on the last day. We really appreciate her attention to detail and care for our home and furry friends! Gave us total peace of mind to enjoy our trip.
Keri did an excellent job taking care of our two cats while we were away, along with watering our many plants. Everything was well cared for, and she sent us photos throughout our trip, which gave us great peace of mind knowing everything at home was in good hands. We’ll absolutely use Keri again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Daniel is a Cat Whisperer! I have not left my cats since they were born in my home over 5 years ago. I had no idea if they would even eat while I was away? Daniel's vibe is one of peace and compassion and he had matters well in hand! Even Mercy showed great progress; Daniel helped her overcome her inherent anxiety.
Lauren knocked my socks off like always. She treats my animals like they’re her own. I got constant text updates and beautiful pictures of my babies. I can tell that they were being well loved and taken care of, 10 out of 10 would recommend Lauren to anybody at any time.
Paige took exceptional care of our cats during an extended vacation. She visited our house twice a day and cleaned up after them. She also played with our frisky cat and gave special attention to our shy cat. We felt 100% confident n choosing Paige as our caretaker and will use her again AND recommend her highly to others seeking pet care. A+!
Amanda is so great with animals. We have an extremely anxious cat that most other sitters never see, but came out for pets with her! Had she not taken pictures of the event, we probably wouldn't have believed it happened. She's responsible and accountable and we will definitely book Amanda again in the future.
Hadiya is wonderful! It's difficult to find someone you can trust with your fur babies and your home. As soon as we met Hadiya, we knew she was the right person. We have two shy kittens (other cat sitters had taken care of them for weeks at a time and never even saw them). But they warmed up to Hadiya almost instantly! We couldn't believe it. Hadiya is detailed oriented, reliable, thorough, and so sweet with our cats. She took the time to build their trust AND got all the care tasks done too. We can't recommend her enough.
JJ is trustworthy, reliable, and took excellent care of my two kitties while I was away for almost two weeks. She dropped in every day to ensure they had their daily wet food, scooped their litter, and kept sufficient dry kibble and water available to them. My home was kept neat and clean, and she brought in my mail each day. Most importantly, she is an animal lover herself so my boys had playtime on the sunny enclosed porch - their favorite space - and affection! My experience with JJ was very positive. She is a genuinely nice person and I will definitely use her services again whenever I travel. Thanks, JJ!

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 .
