“Valerie took great care of our 6 kitties while we were away. It was a tall ask with lots of instructions. She handled it like a pro and was able to administer meds twice a day to our oldest, most skiddish boy. I felt confident that the kitties were in good hands.”
About: I am a corporate gal with a work from home job who loves pets of all types and sizes. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, and chickens and have spent time volunteering at animal shelters and caring for others’ pets since I was very young. I work from home, so my schedule is very adaptable. I take meetings or draft documents all day, with plenty of breaks in between for play time, potty time, or exercise for your pets. Since I am home with your pet while I work, they will be very well supervised. I have experience working and living with escape artists and know how to handle sneaky little friends!
“We had a fantastic experience booking Julia to feed our elderly baby over Christmas. She was responsive and reliable and made us feel very comfortable being away. We would definitely book Julia again!”
“Liz was awesome to help caring for my cat with medical needs! I was able to go on vacation with complete confidence that Liz would take great care of my two cats. My older cat requires prescription medication and Liz was able to really make sure he was eating, drinking, and using the litter box appropriately. I felt like he was in good hands if he had any kind of emergency that Liz would be able to handle it confidently and compassionately. My other cat is very shy and I’ve actually had to leave vacations early in the past because pets that are simply don’t see her. However, she really warmed up to Liz and after only a couple of visits was coming out like clockwork to get pets. Liz loves animals and is a competent and trustworthy sitter. I definitely felt comfortable having her in my home and leaving my furry loved ones in her care. I will definitely rebook with Liz in the future.”
About: I've been a cat(s)'s human nearly my whole life - don't tell my landlord, but we've got 4 at home! Been around dogs my whole life too - my husband and I adopted a doggo in 2019 and he is now a certified AKC trick dog. 😎 Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks! We've fostered cats and have always dogsat for friends. Looking forward to meeting your critters! I probably won't remember your name but I'll definitely remember theirs. I'm currently on leave from work but will be remote after I return to work duties in November and can continue seeing regulars, so your pets and I can form a beautiful lasting friendship! I love walking, hiking AND EVEN running with dogs! Happy to accomodate your pups needs. I love being active but I also love vegging around, so if your furry friend is shy but needs a soothing presence while you're out of town, I'm happy to sit around and read or play switch. Super happy to be as flexible as possible to accomodate your needs!
“Karen was amazing with my 2 cat babies!! Loved getting the photos from her and knowing they were being taken good care of. Good communicator, very kind person, and loves animals. Would most definitely recommend and will definitely book again! :)”

I'll feed your cat, provide fresh water, and scoop the litter box on your cat's normal schedule to keep them comfortable. The 'Cat TV' Window: Giving your cat access to my large window with a wonderful view of the yard, which is perfect for bird-watching and sunbathing.
“Emily was great with Ivy and Darby. They both warmed up to her quickly and seemed content in the many excellent pictures that Emily sent each time she visited. Emily was very responsive and communicative, asking for clarification when needed, and giving them lots of loving care and attention.”
“Bonnie took excellent care of my cat, Skye. She sent frequent updates and let me know if she was going to be even a little bit late, which I appreciated. I will definitely ask her to care for Skye again.”
“Nancy was on time, reliable, and kept great communication. She gave my pup special attention, followed all instructions, and even went out of her way to keep them relaxed and feeling safe.”
About: I’ve had animals of all kind my entire life, from guinea pigs to pugs to rescue mixes, and everything in between. I’ve worked as a professional dog walker caring for up to 8 dogs at a time. I take great pride in treating all of the animals like my own! My goal is to work in pet care full time! I’m available Monday through Friday, any time between 8am and 5pm. I am also available on weekends if communicated in advance. I tailor my care to each pets individual routine to maintain consistency and minimize their stress. I am comfortable greeting dogs who have free rein of their home or dogs who are crated during the day. I would love to take your pet for walks, to play in a nearby park or yard, or just stop in for potty and snack breaks - whatever they need!
“Safyah was very attentive with Luna and Bliss during her drop-in sessions. She asked lots of questions during the initial visit and took lots of photos. It was great having her take care of the cats over the holidays.”
About: From neighborhood animal care to volunteering at local animal rescues, my passion lies in animal welfare and caregiving! I'm looking to reconnect with a local animal advocacy scene and provide my services to anyone who may need help with their four-legged loved ones. I'm a remote employee, so I'm able to work from anywhere that has WiFi! Based in Melrose, MA, I look forward to reconnecting with my roots as a Boston native and help assist with your fluffy friends! ☺️ I have reliable (and pet friendly) transportation for anything your pet may need: a walk in the park, a trip to the lake or emergency vet care. I highly encourage pet owners to provide me with the names of their vets and emergency contacts for the duration of the animal's care.
About: I've been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for pets of all ages and personalities. Whether they're energetic and playful or calm and reserved, I enjoy getting to know what makes each pet unique. I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets throughout the day. As a single mom 50% of the time, my schedule is particularly flexible on my child-free days. I also love being outdoors, so getting outside for walks and exercise with pets is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In my clients' homes, I follow their pet's normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and lots of attention. I take time to get to know each pet's personality so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I tailor my care to their individual needs and treat them like part of the family.

Gabby was great! She was really flexible to work with - on short notice she was able to stop by for a meet and greet and drop in on our kitties over a long weekend. She made sure to take care of the kitties' daily needs while we were gone, and even got them comfortable enough to play - we really appreciated her time and attention on BoBaTee! Thank you so much 😄
Dennis was wonderful! He was attentive to my cat, Maho, and communicative with me, too, because when you go away and put your animal in somebody else’s care, you definitely want to know they are taken care of. My cat really liked him. I would definitely hire Dennis again. Dennis did an excellent job. He has a warm personality, too. Don’t be dissuaded by his profile picture (which I suggested he change) because it’s not doing him justice. He’s a good guy.

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 .
