“Janalee was an amazing sitter for my cats. She dropped-in twice a day for 6 days and fed them, made sure they had water, took care of litter, and played with them. They got lots of cuddles and pets, and seemed very happy. The cats were in a great mood when I got home. Janalee was so prepared and your fur babies will be in good hands with her.”
“Clementine continues to be my cat’s favorite person. She takes such good care of him while I am away and she sends great photos and updates. Thank you for always taking care of my babies!”
About: Pet parent for 15+ years, pet auntie for 25+! I’m all about long walks, playtime, snuggles, meds when needed, and treating your pet like they’re one of my own. My schedule is pretty flexible, so pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and medication visits throughout the week. I’m active and love being outside, so longer walks are always welcome too. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I pay close attention to routines, body language, medications, feeding instructions, and the little things that help pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of your home, careful with doors and gates, and happy to send plenty of updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your baby is doing.
About: I have been helping dogs of all breeds with walks, drop-ins, sitting, and training. I love spending time with pups of all ages and sizes! I work at an elementary school in the afternoons and enjoy starting my days with pets alike! My strength is in walks and drop-ins for all breeds and ages of dogs. I have a small craftsman style house on a quiet street with a grass yard. We maintain a standard of cleanliness and safety for all pups!
“Alycia was a great cat sitter and very easy to correspond with. She sent pictures and helped with a last minute plant watering request as well. I was very comfortable having her come to my apartment and would recommend to anyone!”
About: I’ve always been that reliable friend when my friends and family are out of town. You can always count on me to treat your animals how I’d want mine to be treated! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule! I am very available and able to move things around if needed. Just let me know! I am experienced with walking, feeding, and keeping your pet safe. I understand the importance of helping with tasks when you are unable to do them.
“From the meet and greet through both visits, I felt like my kitties were in thoughtful, caring hands. I didn't worry once while I was gone. Colleen sent lovely photos from each visit, including one of my shyest cat making biscuits on day one! She was flexible with scheduling, and even took the trash out on trash day, which wasn't something I'd mentioned in my (very lengthy) cat-sitting notes. It was clear she'd actually taken the time to read them closely. I would absolutely rebook, and I highly recommend her for sitting your fur babies, they'll be very well taken care of.”
“Noiri was wonderful. She was very communicative and thoughtful. Our cat Ghana was very happy and had clearly been well cared for while we were away. We are very thankful for her.”
About: I grew up on the farm with multiple pets and livestock. I have a special affinity for animals. Often relied upon by my friends and family to take care of their furry children. I’ve had my own cat nearing two years. I often take her camping and pushing her along the beach in her stroller. Animals deserve a lot of stimulation and opportunity to take the world around them. I have best availability Thursday night till Sunday night when I am home all day. I live a very active lifestyle and often spend my days out and about. Only two blocks away from a local dog park and beach path. I assure they will be given lots of stimulation and room to spread their legs. These days I prefer so I can maximize my time with them. Cats are way more flexible to set on weekdays. I have a cat of my own and she welcomes other cats. Plenty of toys and high spaces for their seclusion. I have a two bedroom apartment approximately 700sqft, with ample living space. Can fit a crate if need be (delivered by you). There are rooms plentiful to separate my cat if need be, but she is absolutely fine with patient dogs. There is nearby access public green spaces and fenced dog parks.
“Caitlin was such a huge help! She was able to take on cat sitting with extremely short notice and kept our kitty fed and happy while we were unexpectedly out of town. I highly recommend you contact her!”
“From the beginning, Danielle was communicative and intuitive! Our babies, Coco and Kwame, can be a bit shy, especially Kwame, but he warmed up to Danielle so fast in the first meeting, which brought us a lot of relief and comfort. We loved and appreciated the check-ins she would send of our babies, and to see them open up to her really let us know that they were being genuinely taken care of and engaged with. She was so flexible about adding an extra check-in we needed to add at the last minute. She was so attentive with the details of emergency contacts, key drop-offs, and vet information. We really appreciated this, since we had so many things in mind for our trip. She also followed instructions, especially during feeding time, because Kwame is a thief, and Coco will let him. We are definitely going to book with her again since our babies are comfortable with her, and it was so easy to communicate with her. See you soon, Danielle, thank you! :)”
About: As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to give dogs the time, attention, and companionship they need. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, and staying active or prefers a slower, more relaxed routine, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. My biggest priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and at home in my care. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, respect their boundaries, and give them plenty of attention, enrichment, and love throughout their stay. I’m currently a full-time student, so I’m home most of the day and able to give your pet plenty of attention and care. I’ll make sure they get lots of cuddle time, proper enrichment, regular potty breaks, and everything they need to feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve always been an animal lover and have a deep love for my own pets. I do my best to create a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment where they can feel happy and at ease. For the past six years, I’ve also had the rewarding experience of fostering both cats and dogs, which has taught me how to care for animals with a variety of personalities and needs. Your pet’s health and well-being will always be my first priority, followed by making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well supervised while they’re in my care.
“Amanda was a pleasure to work with and she showed great experience working with my cats. My 2 year old Tuxedo cat (Jimmy) warmed up to her quickly which doesn't always happen so from there everything went great. Amanda's daily visit reviews contained photos which were greatly appreciated and I was able to send her additional help information during the multiple visits. My cats truly enjoyed Amanda's visits and I highly recommend Amanda for any single cat and/or multiple cat owner.”
About: I help care for my own dog and his brother regularly, so I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, and playtime. I follow dietary restrictions closely and stick to each dog’s routine. I’m patient and understand that some dogs need extra time, structure, and positive reinforcement. With owner permission, I’m also happy to take dogs on safe, fun car rides for enrichment or outings. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness always come first with me. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I am available on most weekends and during the week. I have class most days, but with notice I can accommodate drop-ins, walks, and sitting. Clear communication helps me plan ahead so I can provide consistent, reliable care. I’m comfortable providing daytime care in your home and can stay overnight if absolutely necessary. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I respect your home and your pet’s space, and I always aim to keep pets comfortable, calm, and safe in their own environment.
About: I have owned and loved my own cats and dogs my entire life. I have 20+ years experience as a sitter, both drop in and boarding. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available early morning through evening. I am in great shape and do long walks if needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with love and respect. I ensure that they are well cared for — water, food, play and affection.

Noiri was so attentive and responsive with my babies which is exactly what I needed to have peace of mind leaving them for a week. She played with them and was flexible when I on my cat cam noticed one of my cats took off his cone, she adjusted her schedule to arrive earlier & sent pictures every day. She really went above and beyond! I will definitely be re-booking.
Christina was wonderful again. She took great care of Bootsy and was incredibly considerate and communicative while we were out of town. She easily adapts to needs as they come up. I can’t say enough good things about her as it’s such a great weight off my mind to have someone I can trust to look after my pets!
Michelle was absolutely incredible. Our cats fell in love with her instantly and she was great with communications and fanstic pictures that kept us informed and feeling like our boys were there along with us. I cannot reccoment Michelle enough for any of your pet watching or care needs!
Anna is simply wonderful! She took excellent care of our kitty while we were away. Our cat can be a bit sassy and isn’t always friendly with new people—it usually takes her a long time to warm up to someone. Anna somehow knew exactly how to approach her gently and patiently. She even brought a toy of her own and spent time trying to play with our cat (something we never asked or expected). It was so heartwarming to see our kitty gradually get more comfortable with her. Anna sent us thoughtful daily updates with texts, photos, and videos so we always knew how things were going. She also paid close attention to even small changes in our cat’s behavior, which meant a lot to us. Anna didn’t just follow the care instructions—she truly cared for our kitty. We highly recommend her and will definitely ask her to look after our cat again the next time we need a pet sitter. Thank you, Anna!
Verity was amazing. She was very attentive to my very particular requests for caring for my cat Jeff while I was gone. She took lots of photos of everything she did during her visit and gave me the most thorough status report of any pet sitter I’ve ever had. She is truly the best and it’s very obvious that she understands and respects how stressful it is to be away from your pet. She even got my boy to snuggle with her. Incredible. He knew he was in good hands. Thank you so much Verity
Jasmine is such a great cat sitter and an amazing and responsible human! She sends great updates and I never have to worry that my two kitties are well cared for! She provides love, and affection and conscientious care every time! Thank you, Jasmine for treating my kitties like family and providing priceless peace of mind whenever I travel. 💕🙏🏼
This was our first time trying out Rover for our three kitties and we had the best experience with Leigh-Ann! She went above and beyond, providing updates before arriving and constant updates during her visit. I was really nervous using Rover since my babies are very skittish and have a challenging time coming around to people and very much appreciated the updates. Leigh-Ann was very sweet and patient with them and they came around within the first two visits! She even took the time to play with them and feed them snacks. I usually am nervous about leaving them and this was the first time I felt comfortable being away from them. I can’t recommend Leigh-Ann enough and look forward to booking her for future visits!
Trey was absolutely wonderful with checking in on my little kitty every evening while I was away on a trip. My cat is rather timid with strangers, and I’ve never had a non-family member watch her prior to this (so I was also a bit anxious). I was put at ease from the first check-in, with Trey sending pictures of her actually coming out to say hello and coaxing her forward! They went above and beyond what I had requested during the week, and I’m so appreciative. They know the exact sort of delicate and gentle approach that an anxious or scared cat needs. I’ve found my sitter for future trips! Thank you, Trey! :)

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.

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.
