“Bethany and William were great with my cats. I enjoyed the pictures of them loving on my babies while I was away. They even went the extra mile to wash the food dishes so I didn’t come home to a mess. I will definitely use them again.”

“Kylee helped us out of a real bind when my mother went into the hospital for 2 weeks & her normal pet sitter was also hospitalized at the same time. We needed someone last minute to take care of her cat, Whiskers. Kylee responded quickly & was able to help immediately. She was very responsive, reliable, flexible & caring. She kept us updated on each drop-in visit & sent pictures of Whiskers during each visit. I highly recommend Kylee & would definitely hire her again!”

About: I'm the guy who gets called when you get called in but haven't taken poor pookie out for a walk, the one who's there as you're planning your weekend get away, cats, dogs, birds of all sizes and personalities. Call me a day ahead for any inquiries to discuss distance and needs and I'll work on the time that they need for the best pet support. Communication is key and quite frankly unavoidable, I like to let the pet themself feel me out. You can pay me to come but only your pet can want to keep me around.
“Yan was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend working with her to care for your pets. She followed all instructions that we left . Plus consistently kept us updated with pics and notes about our kitties!!! I was nervous at first because I had never used a site like this before. But I am very glad we did! I’m more happy with the choice we made to work with Yan to care for our cats!!! YAN IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!”
“Pennie was very professional at our meet & greet. Sent pictures of both my cats with updates. She also did additional things for me—getting mail & watering tomato plant.”
“Karla was amazing at taking care of our cat while we were out of town. She did everything we asked of her and I could tell my kitty loved her too! Very communicative and punctual”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our two kitties! This was the first time we had left them alone for more than a couple days, and it was such a relief knowing someone was going to check on them and make sure the older cat got her medication.”
About: I have been pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was 13. I have been trusted to care for, feed, walk, bathe, play with, and clean up after all kinds of pets. I am always respectful to you, your home, and your pet. I have a Golden retriever of my own who I love an insane amount, and I will always treat your pet with the same love as I treat mine! I’m currently working a part time job, so I will have plenty of time to stop by and feed, walk, and play with your pet between shifts! I will gladly walk your dog on a leash, or just let them out in a yard. I will always keep eyes on your pet and will play with them during the whole visit! I will feed/give them water as instructed, and am always interested in learning any commands or skills your dog may know!
About: I worked at an animal shelter for a 4 years- fostering litters of puppies and older dogs at my home. I’m currently studying Animal Behavior & Digital Cinematography through online classes; I am a Certified Vet Assistant. I have 2 friendly active dogs of my own as well! I currently work at a rescue part-time, so I have experience with all breeds from all types of backgrounds! From anxious dogs to the high energy goofball’s I can handle it. I’m currently a part-time student and part time employee at a boarding facility. I go on runs, walks and hikes and would love to bring your pet for a stroll. I am also able to just hang out and spend quality time with your pup or cat if they have separation anxiety. I have a fenced yard and pool. If your animal needs to be kenneled, a crate will need to be provided. Three people in total live in my household, so someone will always be present to keep an eye on everything. Feeding will be done separate as a safety precaution and playtimes with my personal dogs will be monitored. I treat every animal as though they are my own; furbabies are exactly as the name suggests- babies!!
“Megan was amazing! It was my first time using Rover and she made it incredibly simple. Our cat, Ursa, has trouble using the litter box sometimes but Megan knew exactly how to handle it and gave us some tips on what we can do for her in our home. She will be our go-to when we go out and f town.”

About: I’ve lived my entire life with dogs. I currently have a 8-year-old Australian Shepherd and live with a 5-year-old Golden Retriever. I enjoy walking all dog breeds and sizes, and can help leash train your dog. I currently work remote Monday-Friday 8am-5pm with a one hour lunch break and am fully free on weekends. This leaves plenty of time to take care of your furry friends during the morning, midday, and evening. I would need internet access and a desk or tabletop during weekdays. I am open for FaceTiming, calls, and communication whenever needed and am particular about following instructions provided by the pet parent. They know best about their furry family members! I am also very strict about proper and comfortable leashing on walks or any time outside without a fenced in yard.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeland Highlands
Thanks to Bethany and Nathan, my wife and I were able to enjoy a much-needed vacation with each other. One that we haven't been able to take in years due to not having anyone at home with the animals. Everything was handled spectacularly with no issues at the house whatsoever. Photos were provided, updates were given, and all instructions were followed to the letter. All communications throughout were clear and delightful, we highly recommend this Duo, and we will be reaching out to them again when the time comes to take another vacation.
Jennifer took absolutely wonderful care for my two cats while I was away. They were well-fed, comfortable, and clearly given lots of attention and love. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. 🐾

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
