“Kristine was incredibly sweet and attentive to our cat, Jack. She even stopped by on Christmas Day so he wouldn’t be alone, spending time playing with him and letting him get some fresh air. She went above and beyond by offering to help with other things as well, like watering our plants and taking out the trash cans. We truly appreciated her kindness and care, and we will absolutely be using her again in the future.”
“Amazing and intentional sitter! She made leaving our fur babies for the holidays stress and worry free. Great updates and photos of our cats, will definitely be booking with Laura again! :)”
“We had such a great experience with Kymberlee! She cared for our 2 cats while we were away for 9 days, and the daily report cards with lots of pictures gave us complete peace of mind. She spent lots of quality time with the cats so they were very happy and relaxed when we arrived home. We’d absolutely book with Kymberlee again, and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a caring pet sitter!”
“Lindsey is so friendly! My cat can be really shy with new people at first but she came out and got love every time Lindsey came to check in on her. Will be rebooking for our next trip!”
“This is the first time Nicole watched London and we were very pleased with her consistent timeliness and responsiveness. She spent 30 minutes with her each day. We enjoyed the daily reports and photos. She also brought in packages left at the door. Thank you very much! 🐱”
“Ashley was great with taking care of my cats! She made sure they were taken care of and happy while I was away. Not only did she watch my kitties but she brought in a few packages and had to deal with a situation with ants by their food. She was communicative and posted lots of pictures for me to see my babies while away. Would definitely book her again and recommend her to others!”
“Ayla always goes above and beyond. I feel so fortunate to have found a sitter that cares for my pets and my home the way she does. I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“As always, Nicole was communicative, timely, thorough, and incredibly kind to and patient with our nervous little cat. She's the only "stranger" Marlow trusts outside of family!”
“Whitney was absolutely amazing! I needed help on short notice, and Whitney went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and to make sure that my cats were taken care of while I was away. We were able to communicate feeding plans, and she kept me updated on how my cats were doing on each drop-in. I would definitely work with her again or recommend her services.”
“Don't let the lack of reviews deter you from booking with Sidney because she is the real deal (she is new to the area). She did a great job with our drop-in visit! She was dependable, caring, and very attentive to our pups. She followed all of our instructions, gave them plenty of attention, and kept us updated during the visit. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. We would definitely have Sidney care for our pups again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter!”
“Mackenzie was amazing! She gave our pups some extra love and truly treated them like they were her own. She is very kind and makes an effort to go above and beyond! We were very grateful for her to watch our doggos. Will definitely book her again!!!”
“Riley does a fantastic job with our kitties! She gives great updates and sends lots of photos of them while we are away. She is also very patient with our anti-social kitty and makes sure she is included in play time 😻 we highly recommend!!”
“Louis was a lifesaver. I requested 3 last minute drop in visits. He came to my house to meet me and my dogs on the same day as the request, right before I left town. He was very attentive, asked me important questions that I hadn't even thought of, and made me feel completely at ease. He showed up for his visits right on time, like literally right on the hour, every time, stayed the entire 30 minutes, and followed all of my instructions. I could not have asked for a better sitter. I would not hesitate to book him again in the future.”
“X did a great job watching our Senior kitty, 2 adult kitties and 3 kittens. Our kitty routine is so complicated right now but all our 6 kitties were happy keeping their normal routine with a great care provider. Thank you!”
About: I have been caring for pets for 20+ years, so I am very familiar with picking up pet waste, bathing, brushing, and feeding. I also understand pet body language well and watch for signs of fear, anxiety, and illness with how they move their ears, eyes, and tails. I'm pretty flexible! I do not work a full-time job at the moment (this will eventually change). Rover fits my schedule perfectly at present. I have a small golden doodle who is a ball of energy, so I understand very energetic dogs that get the zoomies! My goal is to provide the meals, bathroom breaks, and playtime, that your pets need while you’re away.
About: Having cared for my own pets, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ll take the time to learn their personality and follow their usual routine, from meals and walks to playtime and quiet company. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a slower pace, I’ll give them attentive care and plenty of affection. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. I work from home running my own business, and I plan pet care around my work commitments. Before each booking, we’ll agree on a schedule that fits your pet’s routine, including meals, walks, bathroom breaks, and time for attention and play. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before we begin. I’ll follow your care instructions, keep dogs leashed on walks, and check that doors and gates are secure. When visiting your home, I’ll respect your space and leave things as I found them. You’ll receive photos and updates, and I’ll contact you promptly with any concerns.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Knightdale
Paul took amazing care of our girls!! He sent very detailed updates with pictures after every check-in and our cats loved him! We will absolutely be reaching out next time we are in need of a sitter. He gave us peace of mind during our vacation so we never worried if our babies were doing okay or not. Definitely recommend!
We are so thankful to have found Amy! We have a rescue pup who is very apprehensive and anxious of new people, and Amy’s calm yet knowledgeable demeanor made our pup warm up quicker than we have experienced before. We trusted Amy to watch all of our pets (2 dogs, 2 cats) and knew they were well cared for, which was such a relief!
Our kitties absolutely loved having Amaya look after them while we were out of town! We did too! They are usually pretty shy around strangers and can take some time to warm up but both kitties came out without any hesitation and enjoyed their playtime and hanging out. Amaya was very patient with my detailed information about the kitties and super respectful to the house. She was super communicative and gave me awesome updates with pics of both kitties. I felt super comfortable that both our fur babies were with someone very trustworthy who cares about animals while we are away. We will definitely be trying to book with Amaya again the next trip we are able to take.
Jacqueline and Michael have always taken such great care of our kids! This time, we had to leave our cat home alone and I was very worried for her. Thankfully, Jacqueline and Michael offer extended visits! They spent extra time with Big Tiny to ensure her needs were met for affection, play, and Dr. Grande! (IYKYK) We were so happy to come home to a happy, healthy, well-adjusted kitty! Thanks so much!!
I absolutely recommend Megan! She has watched our cat a couple times for us and has done a great job. My cat doesn’t like new people and needs her space, and Megan has been very understanding of that while still making sure she’s taken great care of.

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 .
