“Alexa & Connor were wonderful cat sitters for us and we highly recommend them! They took great care of our boys, especially our older cat that needs twice a day medication. They fed them, cleaned up, and spent time giving them attention, and sent detailed notes/photos on each visit which we really appreciated.”
“Angela looked after our 4 kitties while we were away. She was so kind to them and sent us so many photos and videos, it really put us at peace knowing she was looking after them.”
“Hannah was consistently on time and fulfilled all my detailed pet care needs. She was a good communicator as well as a good problem solver (because nothing ever goes as expected). I would recommend her to anyone for any pet care needs.”
“Kelsey was amazing! We were in need of a last minute sitter and she responded very quickly. She took great care of our cat and kept us updated with photos. We will be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals throughout my life. I grew up with a dog and have since gained hands-on experience caring for dogs during many house-sitting stays. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and following each pet’s established routine. I’ve also had cats my entire life and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand their unique personalities, boundaries, and ways of communicating. As an energy practitioner, I’ve developed a calm, grounded, and observant presence that animals often respond to naturally. It also helps me notice their subtle cues and give them the affection, reassurance, or space they need. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pet and home with genuine care and respect. I carefully follow instructions, keep everything tidy, and provide photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time and have a consistent schedule, which allows me to plan pet care reliably. I’m best suited for drop-in visits before or after work, evenings and weekends, as well as house-sitting stays. During house sitting, I can maintain your pet’s morning, evening, and overnight routine. Some daytime visits may also be available depending on location and advance notice. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s schedule to ensure my availability is a dependable fit for their needs. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, playtime, litter, and household instructions while respecting each pet’s personality and boundaries. I keep doors and gates secured, maintain a clean space, and provide regular photo and message updates. I approach every animal calmly and patiently, allowing them to become comfortable with me at their own pace.
“This was our second time having Stephanie care for our two young cats in our home, and once again she did an amazing job. I felt completely at ease traveling, knowing our cats were in such good hands. Communication was fantastic — I received lots of photos and updates, which was so reassuring. She also went above and beyond by helping me handle a refrigerator issue while we were away. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. I’ve taken care of many different breeds of dogs. I have been trusted to take care of, walk, feed and play with friends and families dogs and cats In both my own home and theirs. Both of my dogs have passed away now. My boy was 14.5 years old when he passed in June 2026. My girl passed in April 2024. Being able to care for other animals while not fully ready to have my own fur baby again will help me with the loneliness of not having my baby here any longer. I am available for all care levels from drop in to house sitting. I am currently unemployed, so i currently have open availability to walk and care for others pets. I am available any day of the week, and look forward to connecting with you and your beloved fur babies. I have a nice size yard that is fully fenced allowing dogs to be able to run and play freely. I do have another dog in the home who is friendly with other dogs, she is an Australian Shepherd. I am able to crate either dog at anytime if necessary. I am a big cuddle lover, if you prefer your animals not to be on the couch, please let me know so I don’t have them on the furniture.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I always approach each animal with patience, respect, and a calm energy. Over the years, I’ve provided drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting for an array of pets. I’m comfortable administering medication and adjusting care based on each pet’s needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll provide dependable care and treat them like they’re my own. I’m currently on a break from school, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, both mornings and evenings, and I’m happy to work with whatever routine works best for you and your pet. I do ask that bookings be made 1 to 3 days in advance, depending on the service. Cancellations are always allowed, but to receive a full refund, they must be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled booking. My goal is to make pet care as smooth and stress-free as possible, for both you and your animal. I only provide care in the client’s home, and I treat that space with the same respect I give to the pets I’m caring for. I believe I’m a guest in the pet’s environment, so I take a gentle approach and let them guide the pace of our interaction. My focus is on understanding their needs and making them feel safe and secure on their terms. I’m comfortable following specific routines, including feeding schedules, medication, crate use, or outdoor time. My own pets have unique needs, such as frequent small meals and scheduled walks, so I understand how important it is to honor what works best for each animal. I’m especially patient with pets who need extra time, space, or care due to anxiety, age, or personality. When caring for pets in your home, I keep things clean, respectful, and focused entirely on your animal’s well-being. I will clean up any messes and make sure your home is left just as you entrusted it to me.

“Winnie was a joy! When caring for our cats, she was communicative and friendly and did everything just as we requested. She sent us multiple photos and detailed updates that let us know our babies were well cared for. We can't wait to have her sit with our pets again.”
About: Growing up there was always a few animals in my family so I have ages of experiences with animals from all of the animal kingdoms. More recently I've been animals sitting for people in my personal life and decided to expand the operation. Additionally, I can promise a dedication to quality (though not professional) photos of your little ones while you're away. I am in college and working part time but am primarily looking for work during the break in classes before fall. My schedule is fairly flexible with planning ahead. I cannot care for animals in my personal home due to my own animals and live-in humans. However, I am committed to making the check ins/pet sitting satisfying for both the owner and pet while they wait to reunite.
“Wow are we ever lucky to have found Erica! She was incredible taking care of our two cats. Such good communication and lots of cute photos. She even took out our trash without us ever asking, changing the litter box and was such a pro at giving our cat her medication. She’s got such a heart for animals and we’re so thankful for her! Highly recommend!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
I am so happy with the care our cats received! Alicia was reliable, always on time, and clearly went above and beyond to make sure my cats were happy and well cared for. We especially loved the sweet visit summaries and photos after each visit. I came home to happy cats and felt completely confident in her care. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again!
Jonah went above and beyond. I asked for minimal tasks and he simply went ahead and did things with no needed guidance. He has a caring heart for all of our cute animals. Please please pleaseee book this amazing person. YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY WORRIES under this prestigious care.
Tatiana is the best pet sitter I've ever had. I booked her several times to take care of my two senior cats. I always know my kitties are in the best hands. They are fed, brushed, have their medication on time. Litter box is cleaned reguraly. Tatiana always texts if there is any issue with any of my cats. She takes time with them. I highly recommend her!
Clarissa was amazing! I needed a cat sitter last minute, and she was there for me right away. She was super responsive and even made time to meet with me the same day I booked. She was incredibly sweet with my cats and followed all of my instructions perfectly. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I definitely know who I’ll be calling next time I need cat care!
Xavier is an AMAZING pet sitter. He even got my skiddish cat to run up to him, jump on his lap, and purr after just two days of visiting. He was able to give my other cat her medicine every morning and night with no issues. I will definitly be reaching out to Xavier the next time I need a sitter.
Dee Anne did a wonderful job watching our kitties, she sent photos everyday, played with them, and made sure they were well taken care of. We will definitely use her whenever we go out of town again, and we would highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care while they are away.
Mitchell was amazing! Very communicative and did everything we requested of him. Booked drop ins for two nights and two mornings. Our cat Miko loved the attention and received lovings when he allowed lol. Our two other cats were a lot more shy. Treven and I are very appreciative of Mitchell (and the kiddos 😉)!
Noah is a fantastic pet sitter. Communication is timely and straight forward. Even our shy pets are interested in playing and interacting during visits. Reliable, caring, and attentive. After hiring Noah on multiple occasions over the years, we’ve not had a single issue or concern. 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.

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 .
