“Deena was fantastic and I’ll definitely be booking again! She took great care of my cat for 10 days and we didn’t have to worry about a thing the whole time. We got pictures and updates everyday! We came home to a very happy and healthy cat, thanks to Deena. 100% recommend!!”
About: I am an animal lover and every summer I spent has been with all different types of animals from all over the world from spider monkeys in the amazon to sea lions and marine iguanas in the Galapagos to bull sharks in Fiji. My true passion is dogs and caring for them because they are so lovable and fun to play with. I’m available all year long and available at anytime. I will care for your pet like he or she is my own. My schedule is currently studying for the LSAT to prepare for law school applications this coming fall.I am mostly in the library and at home as well as visiting my grandfather in Mystic Pointe every week. I pray in the morning, work out right after and then study, work and read throughout the day. I have a French bulldog at home who is only friendly out of the home so I will only be able to provide house sitting services and any and all dog walking services :). I hope this is helpful.
“This is the second time we use Carla and she was great with visiting and taking care of our kitties while we were away. She’ll definitely be our first choice next time we go out of town.”
“Stella was wonderful. She took pictures everyday of my two fur babies. She took care of litter and also the poop that was left outside the box. She even vacuumed the floor for me where the litter box is. I will definitely use her again”
“Mae took great care of my cats, aquatic turtle, and fish! I really enjoyed receiving pictures of them and a report of how the visits went while I was gone. I would definitely recommend Mae for pet visits.”
About: Pets have always been an important part of my life. I have many years of experience caring for dogs and I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide personal attention, affection, playtime, walks, and care according to each pet’s normal routine. I can also reinforce basic commands and good behavior using patience and positive reinforcement. I understand how important it is to feel confident about the person caring for your pet. I will treat your furry family member with the same love, patience, and responsibility I would give my own pet. I’m also happy to provide photos and updates during their stay so you can have peace of mind. I speak English and Spanish. 🇺🇸🇨🇴🐾 Your pet will be welcomed and cared for like family! ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I organize my schedule carefully to make sure every pet in my care receives plenty of attention, affection, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout their stay. Safety and comfort are very important to me. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, routines, and any special needs. I provide a clean, calm, loving environment with plenty of attention and supervision. I treat every dog and cat with patience, respect, and affection. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can feel comfortable and confident while your pet is in my care. Safety and comfort are very important to us.

About: I’ve been walking dogs my entire life. I’m a proud pet parent to a sweet rescue pittie and multiple cats. I actively volunteer at a local animal rescue. Over the years, I’ve fostered (and sometimes foster-failed!) many pets, and I understand how much love and care our furry family members need. I also have a blind, reactive rescue dog who can be shy around new people, so I’m very comfortable working with pets who may need extra time, patience, or special attention. When your pets are with me, they’ll be treated like my own, with plenty of love, care, and belly rubs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or a cozy cuddle session, I’ll make sure they feel safe, and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to easily check in on your pets throughout the day, whether it’s for playtime, feeding, or just some extra snuggles. I’ll make sure they feel loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for in your home. I understand that some animals can be nervous or shy, so I’ll always move with care and be mindful of their space. I’m especially cautious about keeping doors securely closed and paying attention when entering or leaving to ensure your pets stay safe and sound.
“Thank you for everything! It was so difficult to leave my senior cat but she loved Elizaveta immediately and everything went smoothly. She made sure my cats were eating even though it’s a very tough task.”
About: Growing up with a fur baby since I was 5 years old, I became a sister but also a mother. I loved and cared for my dog immensely and understand how closely we keep our unique animals to heart. I have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. I appreciate all dog breeds and would love to meet each lovely personality! I recently moved from Buffalo to Aventura after obtaining my Physician Assistant degree and would love to care for some animals while I search for a job. Once obtaining a job, I plan on continuing animal care because it gives me a break from the hard things in life. I bring a calm, happy, energy that hopefully makes any pet happy. When staying at a client’s house or at my own, I’m open to feeding, playing, walking, and other requests.
About: I've owned pets since 2013 and often dogsit my friends' dogs if they're away for an event, a weekend, or even a week at a time. I lived in Barbados for 2 years, where there are dozens of stray animals roaming the streets. I took in and rehabilitated an orange cat (featured in my photos) that has been brought to the US and is happily living in NYC with her new family. I do not have any pets in my apartment at the moment- my dog, Honey, is across the country with my mom. I have so much love to give pets and enjoy spoiling pets with the attention they deserve. The qualities I have as a graduating medical student directly translate into my care for pets- being punctual, patient, and passionate. I'm a full-time medical student with a fluctuating schedule. My weekends are free for boarding, walks, etc., but weekdays depend on my schedule for the given month. Weekday work schedule typically starts at 7am, and my availability will most often start at 5pm (or earlier some days). When I am home, I integrate my pet into everything I do. I love their company on the couch, bringing them on my daily walks, and even the puppy eyes when I’m cooking. I live with my partner in a pet-friendly condominium on the 5th floor. We have a partially-fenced yard with grass surrounding the condo and a balcony with our unit. Our front door has a double key-lock, with no possibility of a pet escaping. It is a large, 2-bedroom condo with plenty of space to roam in the open-concept living room and kitchen. There's plenty of unobstructed room for pet belongings (food, toys, bedding, etc.). I do not have any other animals living in the unit, I do not have a crate, and I love animals sleeping in the room/bed with me (if owner allows).
“Giana was amazing! We are so grateful she was able to accommodate our booking last minute and a quick meet and greet within a few hours of booking. She kept their routine which is so important to us and them. Milo and Mia were in good hands this weekend. :) we are def going to keep Giana in mind for future bookings.”
“Stephanie made everything super seamless while watching our two little cats. Even with our super detailed instructions and our one cat that needed medication, she made it look easy. She sent great photos daily and went above and beyond”
“Laura was amazing! She took such great care of my cat for 4 days and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was very kind, attentive, and reliable, and I could tell my cat was comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely trust Laura to watch my cat again and highly recommend her! ❤️”
“Great job! Great communication! She did what I asked her to do! Always on time! She showed me everything she did. La verdad muy satisfecho de lo que Gleidys hizo por mi mascota. No es fácil confiar en alguien que cuide nuestras mascotas.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was the age of 5 with my first puppy! I have 2 Yorkshire terriers of my own whom my oldest is 11 and youngest is 5 I love dogs and all animals and will always treat them with the upmost love and care as if they were my own! Always I understand how much our pets are like family to us! I’m currently working a hybrid schedule, with some days in the office and some days at home, which allows me to integrate your pet into my daily and weekly routine easily. On the days I work from home, I can spend more time with your pet, providing regular walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Even on in-office days, I plan my mornings and evenings around feeding, exercise, and bonding time. I have a fenced house where the dogs will have plenty of space to run and have fun as well as two friendly doggies, they are fully vaccinated to date and have flea/tick protection as well as the grassed area.
“Vasil is an absolute dream sitter. He and my cat, Kasha, clicked instantly at the meet and greet, and after his overnight stay she’s completely smitten. He gave her so much attention and affection, and he was incredibly meticulous about following all of her care instructions as well as the apartment rules. I came home to a spotless space and a very happy cat. He’s definitely earned my trust. Honestly, I’m tempted to book drop-ins even when I don’t need them just so Kasha can have more time with her new bestie.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Forest
Jess is such a sweet bubbly person and really does enjoy caring for your pets. She made sure all three of my cats were all cared for. She cleaned up after them sent me lots of photos. She even got my super shy cat to come out of his shell which means the world to me. I’m really looking forward to booking her again when I’m out of town. I highly recommend you won’t be disappointed!!
Sara took the time to always make everything as clean and tidy as I want my pet to have. He’s not very sociable (18yo Cat) so she had to go hunting for him and took a picture every day. That made me feel like he was OK, eating and using the litter box. Thank you, Sara! Until next time (I’ve used Sara’s services before) as I definitely recommend her for taking good care of your beloved pets.
Amazing experience as always. Andrea is so patient and kind with our cats. We always know they are safe and loved when we’re away. She provides the very best care during each drop-in visit and her service never feels rushed. Also very detail oriented. Happy repeat customer. ❤️
Jenni was great with my 4 kitties! Although 3 out of the 4 of them hid most of the time, she did a good job at making them feel comfortable with her presence. She followed all of my instructions and even went the extra mile to sweep up litter from the litterboxes. I'm so glad I found someone who knows what they're doing and really cares about it too! Will definitely book again :)

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 .
