“Melissa was wonderful with our older cat Agnes. She was punctual and professional but made me feel like I was leaving my cat in the care of a friend or family member. So thankful!”
“Katie was awesome - it was so nice to know Althea was getting some attention when I was gone for a wedding, and I loved the photos to remind me that she was in good hands. Thank you, Katie!”
“Stephanie went above and beyond in caring for our cats. She checked in on them exactly as requested and always sent us photo updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, she had even left us a thoughtful little gift. We highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for someone who is not only wonderful with animals, but also kind, reliable, and personable.”
“Veronica was wonderful! My cat is a little anxious with strangers and not used to me being away for so long, but she clearly made him feel very safe and comfortable during her drop-ins. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have taken care of a large variety of dogs and cats in my years! I am a cat mom to two precious grey dustballs, but I aspire to own a Corgi someday. My love for animals started young- we had cats, dogs, hamsters and guinea pigs growing up. My two Scottish terriers were my world growing up, and I’ve aspired to own dogs again ever since. In the meantime, my friends and family with dogs and cats have benefited from Aunt Paulina’s love and care. I have plenty of time to fill with pups and kitties! Looking to fill my morning-afternoon time during the weekday with new animal friends. For in home pet care and dog walking, I like to know as many details as possible about your animal. From feeding preferences, to animal health, staying up to date with your pet is my priority.
“Leslie took very good care of my two kitties for a week, dropping in twice daily to feed and interact a bit with them while I was gone. She sent pics daily too, as well as brining in the mail and even going the extra mile to do a bit of watering on the back patio per my request. I would highly recommend Leslie!”
About: I grew up with both a dog and a cat, so I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets of different personalities and needs. I know how important daily walks are for a dog’s happiness and health, and I love spending time outdoors with furry friends—whether it’s a quick stroll around the block or a longer adventure. I’m also comfortable with drop-in visits, providing pets with fresh water, meals, playtime, and lots of love when their owners can’t be there. I treat every pet like my own- I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for when you’re away!! I'm available in the Mon-Thurs evenings starting at 5:30 p.m. Fridays I am available after 12 pm and weekends are variable, so please message for availability! I can be flexible. I am happy to do walks and drop ins and can be flexible to whatever routine works best for your pet's care! I am available to do overnights at my home for smaller pets, so please message if interested.
“Jules went above and beyond in the care of our two cats. Jules was very responsive, timely, and flexible with her schedule despite the holiday weekend and did an excellent job. We will be using her for all of our future cat sitting needs.”
“Elizabeth was prompt and professional as always! She stepped up last minute to help us with coverage on a busy holiday weekend and we had no concerns our dog would have the best care. We got plenty of communication and were very happy with her services!”
About: I have loved and cared for multiple pets throughout the years- all with different purrsonalities, ages, and likes. I currently own 6 cats; but only two of my babies live with me the other four have been kidnapped by their grandparents. Most of my cats all love to cuddle and some of them even play fetch. When I have brought other pets home to watch and play with, my cats are always welcoming and I enjoy learning and experiencing every pets different personality. I currently work 3 12s as a nurse, but the other four days of my week I am usually home at least 8 hours during the day. I always get up two hours before work and I feed, play with, and cuddles me cats for at least an hour because they put me in a happy mood to start my day. When I get back from work I spend about an hour to two with them before I fall asleep. On my off days I am usually home and will spend time and play with my cats whenever they want to. It just depends on if they want to sleep, cuddle, or play. I have a two bedroom townhome with just myself and my two cats in. My cats are allowed anywhere throughout my home and are usually found either sleeping in my bed or on my couch basking in the sunlight and staring out the window. I feed my cats twice a day- once in the morning and at night. Sometimes they’ll get a snack mid day and they receive treats sometimes when they are extra cute. I also clean their litter box every morning so it smells good and they feel good about going to the bathroom in their box. If I go somewhere to care for another persons pet I will feed them based off the owners schedule and will clean their litter box as often as needed, usually once a day. I will also play with them and show them as much or little attention as they want.
About: I grew up working at a dog kennel and have always owned dogs. Some of my best friends are trained professionals and I've learned a lot from them. I can do walks, playtimes and certain medications. I can do over nights just not at my house for the time being. I only work Saturday and Sunday but am Still available early Sundays and later after 9 as well as late (after 12am) on Saturday. My days are pretty open during normal pet care hours and outside of them. Dogs love me, and I understand dog body language. My dog was over 100 lbs and I can handle him just fine. I love dog play times and don't mind running with them to get energy out. I just love dogs and making money. Message me with any questions or concerns.
About: I currently work as a pet sitter through a professional pet-sitting company, where I complete multiple visits each week caring for dogs and cats. My responsibilities include feeding, refreshing water, administering basic care, medication administration. cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience with pets of different temperaments and energy levels, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or spending extra time playing and giving attention, I focus on making each visit stress-free for both pets and their owners. I currently work full-time, so I’m primarily available for morning (AM) and evening (PM) visits on weekdays. I can also provide drop-in visits during my lunch break when needed. I have full availability on weekends, which allows for flexible scheduling, longer visits, and additional care as needed. I’m happy to work with clients to find a consistent routine that fits their pet’s needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and building trust with every pet and home I care for. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel secure and reduce stress while their owner is away. I always pay attention to details like feeding instructions, medication needs, and home care guidelines. I treat every home with respect and care, ensuring doors are secured, instructions are followed exactly, and pets are kept in a calm, safe environment. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners by being reliable, communicative, and attentive during every visit.

Cat toys on the floor are fine tho!

I will work with you, I’m pretty flexible and work something out that fits your fur babies needs ❤️ My cats are indoor. I have an apartment, it’s a duplex, on the top floor. If your cats don’t like other cats? No problem, they won’t interact. I cater to your cats needs so that way they feel safe and happy.

Kristi is an outstanding Pet Sitter. Spends high-quality time with the pets, follows detailed instructions and is just genuinely so loving and caring towards the animals. I feel so comfortable and relaxed every time I go away knowing that Kristi is taking such good care of my babies!
Stephanie went above and beyond in caring for our cats. She checked in on them exactly as requested and always sent us photo updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, she had even left us a thoughtful little gift. We highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for someone who is not only wonderful with animals, but also kind, reliable, and personable.
My partner and I just returned from a long weekend, and it was the first time ever leaving our little 13.5 yr old girl with anyone but very close friends. Stephanie and Michelle not only put my mind at ease during the initial meet-n-greet; I received daily updates, with photos. I cannot stress enough the anxiety I felt leading up to the trip. I needn’t have worried. I will book Stephanie and Michelle every time. Highly recommend.
Mitchell is a fantastic sitter and was absolutely amazing with my cat while I was out of town for a few days. I received updates every day of the two of them playing and having fun together. Mitchell is very attentative and goes above and beyond to make sure all of your care instructions are followed. I'll always consider Mitchell for pet sitting with future trips.
Lexie was fantastic with daily check ins for my sweet cat while we were away for almost two weeks. She gave her a lot of loves, playtime, and special treats, sending me lots of pics each time so I got to stay updated on her happenings. I’ll definitely rebook in the future and highly recommend!

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
