“This was my first time using any sitter from Rover and Erika was great! She put me at ease introducing me to ths whole process. She sent daily pictures and drop-in descriptions of how my cats were doing, which made me feel better about leaving them alone. I will definitely recommend her and certainly use her again.”
“Ty checked in on our cats while we were out for a few days, and was great to work with! Ty arrived at the scheduled time every day and followed up with updates right afterwards, was very easy to coordinate with and responsive to messages. The cats seemed happy and acted like we had never left when we got back. :-)”
“Paula took great care of my cat and made sure all responsibilities were handled perfectly. Our family also enjoyed her picture updates everyday while we were away. She is super reliable and I'd definitely book her again!”
“Ana provided excellent care to my furry companions for nearly 2 weeks we were out of the country for my daughter’s quinceañera. They are afraid of new faces, but she was able to get them warmed up to her quickly. Her communication was above and beyond. I highly recommend her and hope she will be available for the next time we take a long vacation. Thank you Ana!”
“Marianne’s 12 day visits with our 2 kitties went smoothly, including administering the medicine needed for our older cat. We appreciated the pictures and comments Marianne posted after each visit. The girls were calm and happy to see us. We’ll definitely book with Marianne again.”
“Julia was great - she is very responsive and detail-orientated. The cats knocked over a photo frame during our trip and she cleaned up the glass for us because she knew it would be a hazard for their little paws. Great cat sitter, definitely plan to hire Julia again!”
About: I've cared for several kinds pets for my friends and family since I was 15. I have learned how to train dogs specifically in simple commands such as sit, down, stay, and leave it. I currently own a pup and have helped him learn a multitude of commands and I have a deeper understanding on how to keep your pet safe. I understand how to care for your pet and how to meet their needs in regards to feeding, walking, exercising, and safety. I am currently part-time in school making my schedule flexible to take care of your fur babies. I am available Monday through Friday and occasionally on Sunday, please contact me for availability. I will adapt to your pets environment as needed making sure to keep dangers away from your pup. This of course will vary from location to location so communicate with me what individual needs your pet has to ensure their safety.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a child and my parents gifted me my very own dog when I was in elementary school. Jessie was my sole responsibility in terms of feeding, walking, and taking care of her. When I left my parents’ place I ended up adopting a cat who is now my family. My partner and I just adopted another cat this past year and are loving the two-cat life. I’ve also cared for my partner’s gecko in the past. I love animals and am so excited to care for yours! I work full-time but work from home Mondays and Fridays. I am always available in the evenings and mornings but anytime on Mondays and Fridays. I am careful with making sure animals warm up to me properly and receive the space they need. I have handled reactive animals before and it is something I am familiar with.
About: My schedule is flexible for both weekdays and weekends. I am available for one time drop ins or two visits a day. If you expect to be needing care for a longer period of time (3 weeks or more) we can discuss discounted options to suit your needs. I care for cats according to their individual routines and personalities. I pay attention to their behavior and make sure they’re eating, drinking, and behaving normally. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and always make sure the home is clean and secure before leaving.
About: Hi! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have cared for all kinds of pets over the years. Growing up, my family always had dogs, so I learned early on how to handle everything from playful puppies to senior dogs who needed a little extra attention. As an adult, I’ve personally owned small caged pets and currently own 2 cats, giving me a well-rounded understanding of different animal personalities and care needs. I currently share my home with two adopted cats, each with their own unique story and background. With patience and care, I was able to successfully introduce them to each other despite their age difference and differing temperaments—it was so rewarding and relieving to see them become friends! I understand that every pet is unique and deserves compassionate, individualized care, and I treat every animal I meet like one of my own. I currently work a full time job with the military during the week, but am home early in the afternoon to provide care, comfort, and cuddles to my furry friends and yours! I have a spacious apartment with lots of toys and 2 friendly cats to keep tour furry friend company. Walking around my neighborhood is a breeze with pet pickup spots along the way and a safe environment for walks no matter what time.
“Sara is an awesome sitter and great communicator. We enjoyed the many texts and photos of our cat while traveling. Her kind and conscientious care combined with her professionalism make her the purrfect sitter. Thanks Sara!”
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, with both personal and long-term pet sitting experience. I provide ongoing care for many dogs and cats, including daily walks, feeding routines, and overnight stays in their homes and sometimes in mine, which has led to strong, trusted relationships where I am relied on for consistent and attentive care. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable presence and deep respect for both pets and people’s homes, and I always treat each home as if it were my own, aiming to leave things exactly as I found them or better. I also have experience with a variety of animals beyond dogs and cats, including chickens, geckos, and iguanas, which has made me very comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and care needs, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with animals and helping them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and on weekends. As a freelance graphic designer and homeschool mom, I am able to plan my days around pet care commitments and adjust my schedule when needed. This allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays with consistency and reliability. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is keeping animals safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine as much as possible. I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully and pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs. In a client’s home, I am very respectful of the space and treat it with care and discretion, always aiming to leave everything exactly as I found it or better. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I make sure they feel calm, secure, and well cared for throughout my time with them. When pets stay in my home, they are welcomed into a calm, low-stress environment and treated like part of the household. I currently have two cats, so visiting pets would need to be comfortable around cats, and I am very mindful of introductions and maintaining a peaceful, structured environment so all animals feel safe and settled.
“Here’s another option with a slightly different tone: Emma did a wonderful job taking care of my pet. Communication was quick and consistent, and she was always very responsive whenever I had a question or update. I felt confident leaving my pet in her care and appreciated the updates while I was away. I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to others!!!”
“Yasmine was fantastic. Our 2 boys loved her. She went above and beyond with playing with them and cleaning up the apartment from all the litter they throw around. Would have her back anytime”
About: Pets have been part of my family my entire life! I currently have three fur babies—a Siberian Husky, a Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix, and a cat—and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. As a longtime Husky owner, I have experience with energetic and reactive dogs, as well as senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also comfortable administering medications. Whether your pup loves long nature walks, trips to the dog park, or just some extra attention and companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. 🐕🐾❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! With two dogs and a cat of my own, I’m used to making time for walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I enjoy being outdoors and going on walks, so adding another furry friend to my routine comes naturally. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to work with your pet’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in their home, I respect their space and follow all instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, walking, medication, and daily routines. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure before every walk or visit. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities, including reactive and senior pets. I treat every pet with patience, love, and attention, just as I would my own.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - MacGills Common
Erika was very communicative and asked permission before being late and apologized for almost being late another time. She took very funny pictures of our cats and one is now my wife’s phone background. Thank you so much and we will be reaching out in the future if we need someone to watch our cats.
We are new to Rover. This was our visit. Richard helped us through the process and answered all our questions. He was a terrific sitter. From our initial visit we felt instantly comfortable with him and the way he interacted with our cat. We had a week long trip and never worried. We would definitely recommend him!
Yasmine is the best person you could possibly have to care for your fur baby! All week I received detailed visit reports and many adorable pictures. First time I had left my 7 year old big kitty but after first visit knew he was in the best of hands! Yasmine even washed the couch cover when he threw up and took out trash/litter which I never would have expected. She figured out his favorite thing is to snuggle on top of you and indulged him. Yasmine will be one I call when need arises and I strongly recommend her!!!!!!
Stephani did an excellent job with our two cats! She came each day and spent the full drop in time with them, scooped litter, made sure they ate, and also played with them while we were away. It was clear to us that our boys loved having Stephani around, and she flagged anything amiss to us each day she came by. We will absolutely book with Stephani again!
I highly recommend Cameron G. I contacted Cameron on very short notice right before my trip, and he was able to take great care of my cat. He kept me updated with photos during every visit, which gave me peace of mind knowing that Rosie was happy and well cared for while I was away. If you live in Howard County, Maryland, I would definitely recommend Cameron to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Rosie!
Sarah was kind, friendly, and obviously takes her work very seriously! I was worried to leave my cats for a week but after meeting Sarah, I was very reassured they were in safe, responsible hands. I would highly recommend her to my family and friends and will definitely use her services again.
Sierra is so knowledgeable which was immensely helpful with my cats as I was getting ready to leave on vacation, my male cat had an episode of stress cystitis. Sierra knew about this disorder, gave me advice, particularly on how to entice the cats to eat the new renal wet food that they hate, and I felt extremely comfortable with her monitoring my male cat for any issues while I was out of town. She sent updates and kitty pics which I love. I will definitely hire again! 😻
I do not have the easiest cats. One is super shy and the other just tolerates people. Amanda did a great job with them! She patiently coaxed my shy one out and even got my standoffish one to play. She sent video snippets that showed they were happy and well taken care of. Thank you, Amanda!!

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.

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 .
