“Paige was so sweet with our cats! She was patient and knew how to read their body language. She took the extra time to give them treats and pets and was very thorough. She provided detailed updates and pictures from her visits which were so fun to see while we were gone. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jayda was super professional and took great care of my cats for a few days! I booked her pretty last minute and even had to modify my booking a couple times, and she was more than accommodating. I will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Andrea was phenomenal! It is evident that caring for pets is her area of expertise. I was apprehensive about hiring someone to watch our cat but Andrea put us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying. We received daily updates of texts and pictures which we looked forward to seeing at the end of the day. I look forward to having Andrea take care of our cat in the future and would highly recommend her to others.”
“Lindsay is a great pet sitter. She sent us many pictures and gave detailed updates when we were on a long overseas vacation. We appreciated her attention to detail when we were traveling. We will definitely book Lindsey again!”
“Brenna really went above and beyond! Highly highly recommend. I have a diabetic cat and another one on Prozac and to say I was worried to them is an understatement. Brenna noticed right away when my diabetic cat wasn’t eating, which can potentially be a big issue when on insulin. She then took it upon herself to play some music and sit with him while he ate and this worked like a charm! Also her frequent communication and journaling/pictures/videos put my mind at ease, she really is exceptional at what she does. Thank you Brenna”
“Leah was great with my two fur babies. My one really skittish one took right to her! Happy with her services. Would definitely use her again! Thanks.”
“Hannah was so great with our cats (one very timid, one very playful) and even helped put a cone on one of the cats which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend!”
“Thor takes VERY good care of our very shy, needy, and picky cat. She's got her own way of doing everything and really doesn't like many people. But, when we get back, she's totally relaxed and acts like we haven't been gone at all. Thor is somehow able to keep her happy. Amazing!”
“Helen was GREAT! She took wonderful care of our kitties and was so great as we are still in the middle of introducing the two! She sent so many photos and made us feel very connected to them while we were away!:)”
“Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!”
“Lauren is a very responsible & trustworthy pet sitter. I always feel better knowing she’s watching my cats and keeping an eye on our house. Highly recommend.”
“Penny was my favorite sitter so far. She was great at communicating before, during, and after the trip. She left my house almost better than it was before I left. But most importantly, she bonded with my cats. I felt completely at ease while away because I could tell by her messages and photos that she genuinely liked my cats. Bonus... She also has a sense of humor. I will definitely be booking with Penny again.”
About: I am new to Rover, but I have many years of experience in taking care of animals. In addition to living with cats and dogs for most of my life, I have also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society. In addition to pets, I also volunteered at the Wildlife Science Center with feeding animals such as foxes, raccoons, bobcats, a lynx, and skunks, and I had the opportunity to care for wolf pups at the International Wolf Center. I am recently retired, so my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and most evenings and am able to work around your schedule. I currently have two cats and previously had dogs, so I understand the importance of keeping them on a regular schedule. Being around animals gives me joy, so I look forward to spending quality time with your pet. I follow your instructions and make sure to follow your pet’s lead when interacting with them. I send you pictures, so you can see how your pet is doing when you are away. I can also check mail and water plants if needed.
About: Hi, I’m Emily! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I feel so lucky to turn that passion into a career. I’ve worked as a wedding pet attendant, dog groomer, training, and even at a vet hospital—so I’m comfortable with pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog is full of energy or a little shy, I meet them where they’re at and treat them like my own. I’d love the chance to get to know your furry family member and make their day a little brighter! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life—I truly build my schedule around it. Whether I’m out walking dogs, checking in on pets, or helping with training, being around animals keeps me grounded and happy. I treat each visit like quality time, not just a task to check off. I’m used to working with a variety of pets throughout the week, so I’m very flexible and always make sure I have time to give each one the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow your routines so your pet feels safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special needs like medications or training cues. I keep things clean and calm, and make sure your pet gets lots of love, playtime, and attention while you're away. If your pup is staying in my home, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I provide a cozy, safe environment with plenty of supervised play, cuddles, and outdoor time. I always prioritize their comfort and make sure they have everything they need to feel right at home.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lilydale
We can't say enough good things about Amanda. Our cat gets very anxious whenever we travel, so leaving him is always stressful for us too. Amanda made it easy. She was incredibly communicative, sent regular updates, and clearly cared about making our cat comfortable. It was a huge relief to know he was in such good hands. We'll definitely be booking Amanda again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!
Great sitter.Around the time she would leave because our cat knew the schedule he would sit at the door meowing for Amaiyah. Very gentle very kind great pet sitter followed all instructions and took great care of blueberry. Blueberry misses you. Thank you so much.
Michelle took fantastic care of our two dogs and a cat! She came over to meet our animals she’d of time and review their needs and care. She was great with all The animals and her care shone through! She was on time, communication was ongoing throughout our trip and we chatted about any updates and any issues while we were away! Fully recommend and we will have Michelle watch our animals again!
Shayla did an excellent job taking care of our 3 cats! They are all senior cats with three different foods for each of their special needs and medications for one of them. Fresh water was in their bowls, litter boxes were cleaned, mail brought in & plants watered. We will definately request Shayla again for our next time away!
This was our second time hiring Amelia to watch Mr Bubs. It went completely smoothly, everything was perfect. Mr Bubs was well taken care of and Amelia was friendly, professional, and respectful of our home. We got daily updates with pictures. Definitely going to hire Amelia 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.
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 .
