“Robin was wonderful. Our cats took a couple of days to warm up to her. She was patient and thoughtful with them. She played with our two cats daily. Sent pictures during each visit. Kept us informed of all the "goings on". Robin went above and beyond, taking care of a few other tasks outside the cat purview. It was great to know that our cats were in very good hands.”
“Chloe was fantastic with my cat Dallas. She sent a bunch of pictures and Dallas seemed happy when I got home. Would 10/10 recommend Chloe’s services and I will be calling her again when I next leave town.”
“Mindy went above and beyond. We had to extend our visits and she was very accommodating. The daily updates and photos were a very nice touch. Storm, our cat was well taken care of. And we had peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. It allowed for us to relax and enjoy during our trip. Thank you!!!”
“Once again, Susan is perfect! When we decided to go out of town for a couple days I had about one second of anxiety over our cats before I remembered to book with Susan. She takes wonderful care of them and sends updates that always make us smile! I got my new favorite picture of one of our cats out of this trip!”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and understand their needs, personalities, and routines. I also volunteer at an animal shelter, (Mostly Mutts) where I gain valuable hands-on experience caring for animals. I love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy, and I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m looking to earn a little extra money to help with bills while doing something I genuinely love! ❤️ Volunteering at an animal shelter has made me realize just how much joy caring for animals brings me. I figured, why not turn my passion into something that helps me financially, too? My love for animals is truly unmatched, and nothing makes me happier than making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. 🐾💕 ‼️PLEASE NOTE I AM ONLY AVAILABLE 7AM-12PM MONDAY AND FRIDAY‼️ Tues, Weds, and Saturday I have open availability. When visiting your home, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their usual feeding schedules, refresh their water, clean litter boxes, take dogs outside for potty breaks, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in good hands!
“Chiamaka did a great job with taking care of Challa! During our meet and greet, she did not actually get a chance to meet him as my cat can be scared of strangers at first but looks like Challa started to warm up to her nicely! I especially appreciate her flexibility to add on additional visits last minute. When I came back, the cat area was clean and litter box in good shape so she did exactly what I requested. She also communicates in a timely manner, which is very important. I'll definitely book her again for my Challa”
“Tara took such good care of our Cat! Right from the start she communicated well with us and provided expert care for our older cat who needs medication twice daily. We could see in the photos he enjoyed her visits and playtime. He was calm and relaxed when we returned home. Tara went above beyond!”
About: I have always loved pets. I grew up around many dogs and cats all different sizes. I will love your dogs as much as I love mine. I will make sure to take them on walks, feed them, keep them active, and make them feel loved. I am currently on the look to find jobs so as of right now I have free days. I am available until I can find another job. When another job comes my availability will be different. At my home we always make sure to keep dogs safe, fed, and loved. At other clients or other family members house I give the pets a treat if allowed. I make sure they are safe on a leash or closed in area if outside or with any activity they are doing.
About: I was raised with dogs and have had them my entire life. We’ve had large and small dogs from black labs to beagles to corgis. I would love to help take care of your companion! I work full time, but would love to spend evenings and some time on the weekends with your pets. I am able to come visit in the mornings if requested as well. I am not currently able to host your pets, but will strive to best care for your pets in your environment. I am diligent with keeping my cat secure and safe, and have ample experience chasing down loose pups and securing fencing. I understand dog behavior cues and stressors and will strive to make sure your pets are content in your absence.
About: I have worked in the kennel of an animal hospital for the past 3 years. I am able to administer medication even injections if you show me how you do it! I’m pretty knowledgeable when it comes to the health of animals in general. I have had animals since I was born. I also believe you should build some kind of trust between you and the animal. I work full time at an animal hospital from 6:30am to 2pm and my afternoons are always open. I do also work every other Saturday 7:30am to 3:30pm. Unfortunately I can not bring dogs to my house as I still live at home with my father. So I only do pet setting in your home.
About: Hi! I’m a friendly, reliable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I’ve cared for my brother’s dog on multiple occasions, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure he stayed on his normal routine while my brother was away. I’m also a proud cat owner, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I know every pet has their own personality, and I’m happy to take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure you stay updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet loves to play or just wants someone calm to keep them company, I’m here to provide dependable, attentive care. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine since I have two cats of my own. Every day includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and making sure they’re happy and healthy. Because caring for pets is something I already prioritize, it’s easy for me to incorporate additional visits or boarding into my schedule while giving each pet the attention, consistency, and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine, making sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, playtime, and a safe, clean environment. As a cat owner myself, I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, and recognizing changes in behavior. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I respect their routine, provide lots of love and companionship, and keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Manoela was fantastic !! She was punctual and was very communicative about how my pupper was doing. Booked her for daily check ins for two weeks and it went problem free!”
“Arielle did a great job with my sister’s cat while she was in rehab after a hospital stay. She followed instructions to ‘T’, & sent us daily pictures of the cat showing us he was happy & cared for. Would definitely use Arielle again in the future.”
About: Currently, I have a border collie lab mix and a cat. I get along great with all types of breeds, and it’s my absolute pleasure to feed, walk, and play with your animals, or just keep them company. I have a long history of pet-sitting and always end up bonding with the animals so much that I miss them when I have to leave. As for additional benefits of having me as your sitter, I can even take pictures of your pets at least once a day to send to you and let you know how they’re doing. As a pet owner myself, I understand you want the very best care for your pets, and it would be my honor to give them just that. If any of this sounds good, please send me a message and I’d love to chat! I’m currently working part time, so I would love any opportunity to play with your pets! I’m very good with both cats and dogs :). I could easily walk, play with, and crate your dog or whatever they need! I am here to entertain them and make them feel loved.

Trace did a great job coordinating with us on times and was attentive to the instructions we left for our cats. He sent us daily updates and seemed to be able to give attention to our cats with very different personalities in the way they needed. Really appreciate Trace being a cat owner so he understands how to adapt to cats personalities! Would definitely use again.
TJ was great with my two fur babies - we have 2 younger cats, 1 is disabled. She came to our home beforehand to see everything and get to know the cats. She was also very professional before we even met her in person and was willing to answer all of my questions/provide references. For the pet sitting, she was always on time, stayed the full time (usually a few minutes longer!) and let me know when my disabled cat received medication so I didn't have to stress when we were out of town. She followed all instructions and was thorough with her own questionnaire, and made sure to understand completely what was needed. She was also willing to assist with our disabled cat's special needs (sometimes he has accidents, and she was willing to help him if needed). He's also scared of unknown people, and can be a grouch, but TJ knew how to give him his space and still get everything done. We are incredibly appreciative of her help, thank you TJ for being a great sitter!!
Chloe was more than exceptional! We have two diabetic cats that need insulin shots twice a day and were very worried to leave them for our vacation. Chloe put us at ease after her first visit. Pics say a thousand words and seeing our two cats look so happy helped us enjoy our vacation so much more. Our first experience with Rover went better than expected and would trust Chloe again and again.....
Lauren was absolutely amazing! She cared for my three cats every day for two weeks while I was out of the country, and I truly felt completely at ease knowing they were with her. She was incredibly attentive by feeding them, playing with them every day, and consistently sending me photos and updates so I always knew how they were doing. She also went above and beyond the basic visits. Since I was away for so long, she was thoughtful about things like the temperature inside the house, taking out the trash, and making sure the litter and home stayed clean and fresh. It also seemed like she often stayed beyond the scheduled 30 minutes just to give the cats extra attention, which I really appreciated. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire trip, and it was obvious that she genuinely cared about my cats and their wellbeing. Having someone that reliable and attentive made being away from them for two weeks so much easier. I would absolutely hire Lauren again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets!
Thank you so much Claudia for keeping a check on our “old man”. I appreciate you tidying everything up and leaving the key back. I’m sure Liam looked forward to you coming even though he kept to himself. If we ever need services again you are who we will call!! Thank you once 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 .
