“Thank you, Ariel, for taking such great care of Ginger. It means so much to me! 🐱❤️ I’m very happy and grateful for the care and attention you gave Ginger while I was away. Ariel is punctual, communicative, and trustworthy. He kept me updated and gave me peace of mind knowing that Ginger was in good hands. I would definitely reach out to him again to take care of my cat. Thank you so much, Ariel! 🐾❤️”

She understood that I’ve had a bad experience with Rover before and did everything she could to ease my worries. I will 1000% be booking with her again and recommend her strongly :)”
About: I’m a veterinary technician with 2 years of experience. I also have a background in wildlife rehabilitation and have furry friends of my own! I’m comfortable reading animal behavior, caring for pets of all ages, including nervous pets, administering medications, and making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll care for your pet like my own and keep you updated with throughout! I’m a university student with a flexible schedule outside of class. I have plenty of time to provide dependable care, whether it’s walks, drop in visits, overnight stays, or weekend care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, meals, or medications. My goal is to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Ari is a truly wonderful caregiver for our pets when we have to go away for any length of time. One of our cats is extremely skiddish around people other than ourselves, but he was playful and extremely interactive with Ari on her visits. We never have to worry about how they are doing, as Ari is the most reliable and updated us along the way of all her visits. She sends pictures of what our pets are doing, so we can relax and not stress about them, and actually enjoy the many photos of how they are behaving.”
“Rosanne is the cat whisperer!! Of my three babies, two are very skeptical of new people but they took to her so naturally. Amazing communication, loved the check-in photos and report cards. My kitties were very happy furballs and I would highly recommend Rosanne for any pet sitting needs!”
“Bridget was exceptional! From the very first moment Dante, my cat, met her, my boy felt at ease — which is rare, because he’s usually shy and tends to hide. But with Bridget, it was different. She has such a kind and calming presence that he immediately felt comfortable. She was wonderful throughout the entire experience. She kept me constantly updated and even sent me pictures, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares. I highly recommend her — your pets will be in loving and responsible hands. I’m absolutely sure I’ll reach out to her again the next time I need help. Thank you so much, Bridget!”
“I was so nervous leaving my 2 cats overnight at someone’s home(it was my first time ever). I have to say I’m very pleased and happy with how everything turned out. Aleanna and her partner are amazing, she sent cute pictures everyday, played with them, updated me and my partner on how they were adjusting, and she kept their litter box and bowls cleaned. I would definitely recommend Aleanna, your pet is in good hands!”
“Royiesa is always very communicative when taking care of our pets! She’s very friendly and sweet to our cats and they love hanging out with her. We always appreciate her efforts to go above and beyond when visiting! We look forward to booking with her again!”
“Kianna was great. She interacted very well with our cat and took great care of her. We also appreciated the instant and super friendly communication with Kianna. We highly recommend Kianna.”

About: I am experienced with both dogs and cats. 8 years of hands-on dog care (Golden Retriever) paired with a lifetime of experience around cats. For larger breeds I know they need a confident, attentive hand for their exercise, feeding, and energy levels. While cats need patience and an understanding of their independent nature. Whichever you have, I treat every pet like my own, so you can travel with total peace of mind knowing they are in capable caring hands. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule. I currently have full flexibility and can accommodate care whenever needed, with no conflicts or restrictions on availability. I follow your instructions exactly, secure your home, maintain feeding and medication schedules, watch for an issues, and send regular updates so you feel at ease.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments my entire life. Currently, I am a proud pet parent to two wonderful dogs: a 9 year old Golden Retriever (turning 10 in December!) and a high-energy 2 year old American Foxhound. Managing these two gives me daily, hands-on experience balancing the needs of a lively young hound with the gentle care required by a senior dog. Beyond my own pets, I have regular experience caring for friends' and family members' animals. I frequently pet-sit for an older American Bulldog (around 10 years old) and three cats (one boy and two girls), which has made me very comfortable administering specialized senior care and managing multi-species households. I’ve also cared for my aunt's Yorkies, giving me confidence with smaller breeds as well. Whether your pet needs a patient companion for their golden years, a high-energy playmate, or attentive care while you're away, I treat every animal as if they were my own! I work at a restaurant and my schedule is flexible. I mostly work evenings so i can do day time visits + after work if need be. In My Home: I provide a safe, secure environment tailored to your pet's needs. For dogs under 50 lbs, I have a comfortable crate available if they are crate-trained or need a quiet space to settle. I ensure harmful items are safely out of reach and that high-energy pets get plenty of supervised playtime and exercise. In Your Home: I strictly follow your routines for feeding, medication, and walking. I keep living spaces secure, ensure doors and gates are carefully monitored, and provide plenty of attention and companionship so your pets feel safe while you're away.
About: My partner and I, proud pet parents to our cat Gustavo, truly understand how hard it can be to leave your furry family members behind. Every time we’re away from him, we miss him deeply—and that empathy drives the love and care we provide for every pet. As verified pet sitters through Rover, you can feel confident knowing your pets are in safe, trusted hands. IG: itsthatcat_gustavo We offer a few different setups so your kitty can feel right at home: Single Room Stay – A full, cozy bedroom for up to 3 cats from the same household. Each bedroom has its own personal window for bird‑watching and sunbathing. Double Suite Stay – Both full bedrooms reserved for your cats (up to 6 from the same household). Full House Stay – The entire space reserved just for your kitty, so they can enjoy the whole house to themselves. In addition to their bedrooms, cats have access to shared spaces with plenty of windows, toys, and cozy spots to relax. Pricing does vary depending on the setup, and we’re happy to go over details so you can find the best fit for your cat. To keep everyone safe and healthy, we kindly require proof that any cat staying in our home is up to date on their core vaccines (such as rabies and FVRCP). If your kitty spends time outdoors, we also recommend keeping them on flea prevention before their stay. We’ll request this information in advance of your booking—thank you for helping us create a safe and cozy environment! My partner and I both work a 9–5 schedule Monday through Friday, and one of us works hybrid. Outside of those hours, we're usually at home with my partner’s two parents, who also live with us. For cat boarding, this means your cat gets extra loving attention from all of us throughout their stay. For other services like drop-in visits or dog walking, we will provide care and attention during scheduled times to make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved. We focus on timely meals, proper feeding schedules, snacks, hygiene, grooming, and fun playtime with toys and activities, ensuring every pet feels happy and loved.
About: I am a manager in a pet store and I have a very caring, loving, and helping place in my heart for the furry additions of the family. I love all animals and I care for them like they are my own. They soon become my babies after a few short seconds after initially meeting! I am a manager at a pet store so pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine pretty smoothly. I also have two bunnies at home that are practically my sons who I treasure very much. I have a very open neighborhood that is perfect for walks. There are a lot of dogs in my community that are quite friendly. Along with a nice amount of woodsy space for your dog to feel happy and free!
About: Hi 👋 I'm Michelle, I've had dogs from the time I was in kindergarten. I started with one dog and added more to the family throughout the younger years of my life. At one point I had five dogs and one cat together at once. I am experienced with puppies, dogs, and seniors. I have a flexible schedule and can work with pretty much any routine that is needed for you and your animal. If you let me know what schedule is required for you and your pet I will make sure I am able to accommodate it. I always walk puppies and dogs on a leash so they do not run away or get lost. Watching an animal is necessary at all times even while inside, because you never know what they can get into. It's important that animals have a blast while their parents are gone but safety is always maintained. I will also be glad to take photos and send them to you so you know your pet is doing good.
About: I'm Jamila, owner of Professor Fleming's Petcare. I've spent 9 years caring for dogs and cats professionally — walking, sitting, boarding, and daily enrichment — so your pet isn't just supervised, they're actually looked after by someone who reads their body language. I specialize in small-to-medium dogs and cats of all personalities (yes, even the ones who "don't like anyone"). My approach is force-free and rooted in behavior science — no punishment-based methods, ever. If your pet has a routine, a quirk, or a specific need, I'll match it rather than ask them to adjust to me. Licensed and insured through Professor Fleming's LLC. I keep a flexible schedule and prioritize consistency — same walker, same routine, every time. I'm typically available for walks and drop-ins on short notice, and I plan boarding stays around a Meet & Greet first so we can make sure it's a good fit for everyone, including my own pets at home. As the owner of Professor Fleming's Petcare, I carry my own insurance and follow a documented care routine for every stay — the same standard I hold my own pets to.

As a pet owner over the past 26 years I have worked with many pet sitters, Ariela is by far among the top three ever. This is because she is not only caring but also she is very responsible. I always come back to a home which is calm with a happy cat and everything is clean and orderly. I will definitely work with her again and recommend her highly.
Thank you, Ariel, for taking such great care of Ginger. It means so much to me! 🐱❤️ I’m very happy and grateful for the care and attention you gave Ginger while I was away. Ariel is punctual, communicative, and trustworthy. He kept me updated and gave me peace of mind knowing that Ginger was in good hands. I would definitely reach out to him again to take care of my cat. Thank you so much, Ariel! 🐾❤️
Another wonderful trip without worrying about our fur-babies. Ari is the absolute best, thank you for all of the pictures to let us know they were doing so well in your care while we were away. Amazing love and care is evident in all of your time spent with them. Thank you so much
Being my first time away from my pet, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than I did with Aleanna. She was kind and responsive with my initial questions and eased my concerns throughout the process. She followed my instructions perfectly and provided sweet updates with every visit. Will definitely request her services in the future.

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 .

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 .
