“Marissa was so wonderful with Gracie, and went above and beyond. This is the best mood Gracie has ever been in after I’ve gotten back from a trip. I would definitely recommend Marissa.”
“Sara was great!!!! She listened to my very specific instructions and provided amazing photos during every visit. Will be using Sara for every trip I take in the future. :)”
“Melissa took great care of our cat Chewie while we were away! She was communicative and followed all the directions I laid out for her! We will be contacting her again the next time we travel!”
“Megan is AMAZING! We feel so fortunate to have found someone we can trust with our fur babies and with our home while we’re away on vacation. She followed our checklist to the letter during each checkin, and she always left detailed notes. She stays the full duration of our scheduled bookings, and she gives our little boy TONS of attention and love! It made our first long getaway together feel so easy and carefree. We will absolutely be booking her for each and every trip we take.”
“Lauren took good care of my cat while we were gone and communicated with me about her arrival time so I knew when to expect her. She even brought in our packages which was super helpful during the holidays when we get a lot of mail. The pictures she sent were great and let me know my cat was happy to get some human interaction. I’d definitely book Lauren again!”
“Holly is a ray of sunshine and my cat who is very skittish came right up to her and befriended her. She was very accomodating to come the day before on short notice to show her the ropes and how to get into a difficult to find apartment. Meeting her and speaking with her, truly made my day and turned around a very challenging week. Definitely will be booking her again.”
“Marina was so attentive to our cats and sent lots of adorable pictures! We got detailed updates every day too, which really put our mind at ease. She was wonderful to work with and we look forward to having her watch our cats again in the future!”
“Super grateful to Alyssa for watching our girls while our regular sitter was away. She did a great job including giving our girl with CKD her subq fluids and other meds. We came home to happy cats. Thank you!”
“Melina has followed our instructions very well. She updated us with pictures and was fast to respond. When we couldn't see one of our cats on camera, Melina made sure he is okay in his hiding spot under the bed. Our kitties looked great when we got back. Thank you, Melina!”
“Corrie is so sweet and really cares! She was perfect for my young active cat and for my very old senior cat, helping to troubleshoot when my old cat wasn’t eating. She also cleaned up the litter area which was above and beyond. Highly recommend!”
“Courtney always goes above and beyond! She took it upon herself to fill my humidifiers <3 and she puts up with all my specific needs for the kitties. Thank you for all that you do!! My kitties love Courtney!”
“Angela stayed with my kitties for a week while I was out of town. They're not used to other people so I was nervous about leaving them, but Angela took such great care of them! She sent pictures and updates every day. I came home to calm kitties and a clean house - such a great experience.”
About: Hi, I’m Megan and I love pets! I grew up with two family cats and took personal responsibility for their well-being. In high school I pet sat for neighborhood pups. Going off to college I missed my best friend kitty and would FaceTime with her! Always a joy to be reunited. Since then I have been intentional for caring for the cats and dogs I come into contact with. I am a happy dauntie (dog auntie) to a golden retriever and love to spoil him with play, adventures, and quality care. I am so excited to meet your pets and build a special bond that supports their individual needs. Pet care is a a passion of mine and I like to fit it into my rotating schedule. Days off are times to dedicate to pet care. Two days off a week are allotted to intentional time with pets. Following owner instructions is the key to pet well-being and happiness! Combining my own experience with cats, dogs, and rodents with the expert directions left by the pet’s loved ones I’m able to provide an optimal experience for all. Popping in to meet pets physical and emotional needs- feeding, watering, play, and walks as arranged!
About: I LOVE dogs!! I've grown up with two dogs and they got me through my adolescent years which is no easy feat. I now have two dogs of my own and we spend lots of time at the dog park getting to know many different types of dogs and learning how each breed interacts. I am an extremely responsible person who is prompt and compassionate. I would love the opportunity to take care of, walk or just check in on your dog/dogs! I'm home most of the day so I have lots of free time to spend with your dog. I also am happy to run with your dog or take them to the park if they need a little extra exercise. I'm here for whatever you need and can't wait to get started! I currently have a part-time job a few days a week so the rest of the time I am free to spend with your dog! I am available through the day and nights as well. I have a very dog friendly home and 2 sweet dogs who love to play and make friends. They will definitely tire your dog out with lots of safe play and we love to play fetch!
“Sara is so sweet! She really cares about my bunny which makes my heart sing when I have to be away for work. She communicates very well and is so compassionate with my bunny. I would recommend her to everyone! She's one of my favorite sitters :)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
Linsey was absolutely amazing! She was so attentive and thoughtful with our kitties, and her thorough updates and tons of photos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she was really paying attention to the little things, from keeping everything tidy and staying on top of the litter boxes to making sure our more nervous kitty felt safe and comfortable without pushing him out of his comfort zone. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and a clean home, and we genuinely could not be more grateful. Linsey made being away so much easier because we knew they were in such great hands. We will absolutely be rebooking her for future trips and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and attentive!
Excellent attention to my cats' needs, regular updates with details and photos, and followed instructions perfectly. One of my cats is very shy and hides from strangers, but immediately trusted Kathy and doesn't hide from her at all. Can't ask for a better cat sitter!
Melina was amazing and super helpful during our long weekend trip out of town to watch our two kitties. Very thorough, super nice, compassionate, and thoughtful with both of them. Thank you so much again for watching our fur babies. Will rebook in the future when we have another trip. 5 stars!
First time booking Aubrey, and she delivered exactly as promised! She was friendly at our first meet-up, asked all the right questions, and followed through on every detail. The kitties were happy and relaxed when I returned, and the place was spotless—she even cleaned up a little throw-up! Thank you, Aubrey. Will definitely book again!
Rachel took great care of our cat while we were away; she even went above and beyond and spent some extra time with him since he was in a playful mood while she was here. Based on his talkative chatter upon our return, our boy was happy spending time with her, and everything was neat and clean when we returned. It was easy to see that animals gravitate toward her kind demeanor. Will request her again the next time we are away.

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.

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 .
