“Paul is great!! We have 3 cats, with varying personalities and Paul took care of them tremendously well. Be was thorough, professional, and allowed us to relax while away knowing the cats were in good care. Paul provided daily updates and photos. Upon arriving home, the was a detailed report of his work. He'd even saved some bananas were left on the counter and made us fantastic banana bread!!! We'll definitely be using Paul again in the future!!”
“This was our first time using rover and Brynn was the perfect choice! She provided photos at every visit, very punctual and even our shy cat warmed up to her quickly! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Maryam and Faadhil were amazing with my cat for the two weeks we were gone. They didn’t just feed her and call it a day—they really cared. I got daily pics and updates, which was so reassuring, and they kept her routine just how she likes it. I mentioned something about her weight, and Maryam jumped in, researching her diet and suggesting tweaks. It was above and beyond. They played with her, kept her happy, and left the place spotless.”
“Katrin was AMAZING! Super flexible when I needed a last minute drop in for my cats while i was on vacation. She checked on their feeder, water, litter box, everything to make sure they were ok. Will definitely have her back for my next trip in August!”
“Brittney has been a wonderful pet sitter! She completed all the tasks I asked of her and truly went above and beyond. When one of my cats made a mess with the feeder, she didn't mind cleaning it up at all and was incredibly accommodating to my changing needs while I was away. I highly recommend her!”
About: Like many pet parents, I often rely on friends, coworkers, and family to help check in on our fur babies when my wife and I travel for work. While that support is invaluable, it doesn’t always line up—and when it doesn’t, it can add unnecessary stress to an already busy trip. Because of this, I truly understand how challenging and stressful it can be to leave your pets behind. That’s why I offer reliable pet care services for fellow pet parents who travel frequently or simply need an extra helping hand. My services include check-ins, walking, and house sitting. At home, we have five cats: one 16-year-old geriatric grump and four energetic “crazies” ranging from 3–5 years old. Each has a unique personality, but all share a love for food and plenty of belly and head rubs. I specialize in cat care, as cats are often misunderstood as being “easy.” While some are, others require more attention and emotional support—something I know firsthand. Cats, like people, can experience separation anxiety, stress, and even depression when their routines change. My own cat, Chuck Roast, is a perfect example and always needs extra care when I travel. This has taught me how important it is to understand and respect each cat’s individual needs and personality. While cat care is my specialty, I also have experience caring for dogs. I’m always happy to meet you and your pets beforehand to make sure it’s a great fit and that everyone feels comfortable before moving forward. I know your pet is a cherished member of your family, and I promise to care for them with the same love, patience, and attention they deserve. I work out or RTP and have a very flexible schedule to support your pet care needs. Please reach out and let me know your unique needs. My rates are flexible. Always happy to discuss this to see how my services can help your needs. I work a pretty set schedule and am able to walk your pets, let them out to potty, do check-ins and feed them, or house sit at your place(dependent on my schedule and if I’m traveling for work)! If interested, we can see how I can help!
“Cameron was fantastic with our kitty while we were out of town. He responded very quickly when I reached to inquire about his availability and continued to be very communicative the entire time we were gone. Provided many pictures and updates. Also, a super chill and friendly person with great vibes. My cat was comfortable around him immediately. I will 100% be booking Cameron again!”
“I am thankful to Kim for taking such great care of my babies while I was away. I was able to enjoy myself knowing my diabetic cat was getting his insulin. I received informative report cards after each visit & the best pictures! I highly recommend her!!”
“Once again, fantastic experience! My cats love her, and I love all the pics she takes! She makes extra time to play with them and make sure they are well entertained and tired out before she leaves each visit!”
“Scarlett did a great job taking care of our kitties and flock of chickens while we were out of town. She even swept so we could come home to a nice clean(er) house. We appreciated that VERY much!”
“We had to make a last minute change for cat sitting - we chose Trevor! And, glad we did. He was able to come over straight away and get the run down on our 2 cats. He asked all the right questions, and better yet, he showed up every day and provided thorough updates. His kindness was a perk! Pick Trevor😻🐕🦺”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and animals, even helped my own cat give birth (covid times) and currently have 2 cats of my own. I’ve taken care of larger dogs as well, sweet pit bulls are my favorite! I am accommodating and love meeting new people and animals. I’m available to care for animals on extended weekends and weekdays if needed. I am located in downtown Durham and can access your pets quickly if needed. My schedule is very flexible and I am punctual. I love playing with my 2 cats and parent’s dog as I believe playtime is important for stimulation. When I can’t take them on a walk, I find ways to stimulate them, such as indoor blanket puzzles and toy play! I can accommodate each animal per their needs.
“Alani and Erica were very kind, thorough and communicative. They took great care of our cats, sent lots of photos and updates, and even got our grumpy guy to warm up to them quickly! I definitely would recommend them and will book again.”
“Blake is a wonderful caretaker! She gets great photos of my cat! She is flexible and reliable, and a great communicator. Makes it easy for me to relax when I am away from my kitty.”

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.

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 .
