About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and horses. I previously worked as an equine veterinary technician and am comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. Growing up I did a lot of farm sitting and so I am used to juggling quite a few animals at a time. I currently have two cats, a dog, and a horse, so I understand how important it is to provide safe, loving, and dependable care. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to accommodate different schedules and give pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s a long walk, sticking to a feeding routine, or simply providing companionship, I’m able to be dependable and responsive. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for them is a natural part of my everyday life. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free in their own environment. I am an extremely reliable person who has experience farm sitting and being extremely attentive to animals needs.
“Lisa was wonderful. Our cats tend to be wary of strangers but warmed up to her super quickly. She sent a lot of pictures when she visited so we knew they were doing good and followed all of the care instructions without any problems. We’re incredibly appreciative especially since she was able to help us out with short notice. Lisa will be our first choice for watching our cats when we travel in the future!”
“Mylene is absolutely wonderful!! She is consistent and communicates so well with pictures and details. Being gone for such a long trip, I felt so comfortable having her come to my house everyday and look after my cat. Will absolutely use her again!”
“Hope is a rock star! My kitty loves when they come to visit. I never have to worry about the little nugget and Hope sends excellent pictures and report card updates. Couldn’t recommend more!”
“Jessica did a great job of taking care of our cat while we were away. This was our first time using Rover, and she was able to work with us to coordinate plans that fulfilled our needs. We appreciated the regular updates and pictures each day!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life (4 dogs and 5 cats to be exact!) I currently have 2 orange cats who I am mildly obsessed with. I work from home in the Matthews area and would love to drop by to see your pets during the day or to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home in the Matthews area so my days are flexible! I can drop by if you’re out during the day, or stay longer to keep them company while you’re away! I have a fenced in yard and work from home with my husband. I live in a quiet residential neighborhood that makes going on walks easy.
“Maegan went above and beyond providing quality care for my kitties! She sent photos and videos multiple times a day, kept me updated on everything, and cleaned the place before she left. She did a great job giving my cat his inhaler and oral medication. I could tell my babies felt super comfortable with her. Maegan will be the first person I call when I need a sitter from now on! 😁”
“Blair was great! She sent me many photos and comments of my kitties from each visit. One of my cats is diabetic and needs two shots of insulin a day, and she did a great job! He came right to her and loved up on her!”
“Leia is definitely a cat with a big personality. She usually doesn't let strangers get close to her, so I was honestly amazed that Alina managed to earn her trust. She was incredibly patient, never pushed Leia, and let her come around at her own pace. To my surprise, Leia even allowed Alina to pet her, which almost never happens. It's clear that Alina truly understands cats and knows how to make them feel safe. I couldn't have asked for better care for my little princess. Thank you so much! I would happily book with Alina again 🩷”

“I really love how Yair took to Rahma…she knew how to respond to Yair actions especially how this was his first experience to have someone else to care for him other than family. I really felt comfortable with her taking care of Yair. She asked me questions about Yair care that i didn’t even think to ask. She allow me to not worry about Yair care while I’m on my trip. She followed instructions to the point. I will definitely uses her service again and referred her to others.”
“Mia is an enthusiastic animal lover who did a lovely job taking care of my geriatric Maine Coon cat. She is conscientious and kept me informed while we were away. I would hire her again.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with five dogs, and I got my first cat about 10 years ago. I originally had allergies to cats, but over time I was able to build up a tolerance, and cats have been a huge part of my life ever since! I’ve cared for all different kinds of cats, including cats with special needs, so I understand that every animal has their own personality, routines, and individual needs. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to take the time to make an animal feel comfortable and safe. I also have experience caring for chickens and other animals, and I’ve cared for a Husky who was on a raw-meat diet. I’m comfortable following specific feeding instructions and routines, and I understand how important consistency is for pets. One of my favorite experiences was caring for that Husky and taking her on trails every day. I genuinely enjoy being active with dogs and making sure they get the exercise, stimulation, and attention they need. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous, shy and takes some time to warm up, or needs a little extra care, I’d love to help. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I currently work online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to care for your pets without being tied to a traditional work schedule. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive the same care, attention, and consistency they’re used to at home. I love keeping pets in their normal routine and following a clear plan for meals, bathroom breaks, medications, and any special dietary needs. I’m happy to give them plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I also have experience helping puppies with leash walking, crate training, and learning not to jump when guests arrive. For cats, I’ve cared for both indoor and outdoor cats, kept litter boxes clean, and made sure their space stays clean and comfortable. Tell me their favorite toys, activities, routines, and little quirks—I’m happy to keep them happy and cared for just the way they’re used to. 🤍

“She was amazing with my cat Piper for almost 2 weeks while we were in Colorado and Texas. I got daily updates on her behavior and pics. She made time for me to drop off and pick Piper up. Once we picked her up, all of her equipment, it was a lot bc I'm extra with my cat, was cleaned and packed up. I would definitely recommend and I would use again.”
“I can't say enough good things about Bree! Leaving my cat is always stressful, especially since she needs medication twice a day. But Bree was absolutely amazing. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease. While I was away, Bree sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Piper's well-being. More importantly, she administered Piper's medication perfectly, without any issues. I highly recommend bree to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced cat sitter. She went above and beyond, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Matthews
Darby is the best!! She is so kind and loving. Our pets adore her and she takes so much time to update and send pictures. It’s hard to leave your pets but Darby made it so easy. She is responsive and communicates well. She took the time to meet our fur babies and went over the care instructions with care. Honestly, because of Darby this experience has been great.
Linda was absolutely amazing! She followed my directions for taking care of my cats and truly exceeded my expectations, it gave me such peace of mind to know someone I could trust and depend on was taking care of my two cats. I could see in the pictures that she sent me that the cats were comfortable with her and having lots of fun during play. I will definitely book with her again next time I am out of town!
Reagan was amazing. This whole experience having a pet sitter through Rover and choosing Reagan to come take care of our babies was so worry free. Our pets absolutely loved her and she gave excellent updates on them while we were gone. We will definitely be booking Reagan again!

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.
