“Jennifer has been great with my cat Tito!! He is normally shy to new people and it took him no time to warm up to her. She always makes sure to update me with photos and videos each visit!”

“Cecilia did a great job caring for my cat Bean! She sent several pictures throughout Bean’s stay, and I could tell she was well taken care of. She has a cat too, and I was glad to see they got along well. I will definitely reach out to Cecilia next time I need a sitter!”

“Nicole was absolutely wonderful! Super punctual and professional. She’s unbelievably sweet and kind and I don’t have enough words to recommend her for your pet’s care. My cats (my children) loved her. I’ll be rebooking with her for as long as she is available. 💛💛💛”

About: Caring for animals has been a meaningful part of my life for many years, including raising and caring for my own beloved dog, Nina, for over 16 years through every stage of her life, from energetic younger years to the extra patience and attentiveness that come with senior care. In addition to caring for my own pet, I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends, both in my home and in theirs, and I also have experience caring for cats. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I believe consistency is incredibly important when caring for animals. Whether it’s maintaining feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, or simply respecting the structure pets are used to, I make it a priority to follow your care instructions closely. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m dependable, organized, attentive to detail, and committed to keeping pets safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also believe communication matters, so you can expect thoughtful updates and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to provide reliable, attentive care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the week, including accommodating a variety of pet care routines and scheduling needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I take scheduling commitments seriously so owners can feel confident their pets are being cared for on time and according to the routines they know and trust. My goal is to provide reliable care that fits seamlessly into both your schedule and your pet’s daily routine. Having been a devoted pet owner myself, I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you feel completely comfortable trusting with your pet’s care. I know pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I believe great pet care starts with paying close attention to details and following each owner’s instructions carefully, whether that involves feeding schedules, walk preferences, medications, household rules, or recognizing changes in a pet’s behavior. I work hard to maintain the routines pets are familiar with so they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety is always a priority, both during visits and on walks, and I’m attentive to ensuring pets remain safe, comfortable, and properly supervised at all times. I also believe communication matters, so you can expect regular updates and check-ins for added peace of mind. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space, attentive to security, and committed to leaving your home exactly as I found it.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up around dogs my entire life! 🐾💕 I currently have a fur baby of my own, Rogue, who is a K9 officer! Having years of firsthand experience with dogs, I understand the importance of patience, attention, and providing a safe, loving environment. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also happy to provide photos and updates for your peace of mind! I currently work from home during the mornings and attend culinary school Monday through Thursday from 4–10 PM. My availability is primarily Friday through Sunday, making weekends perfect for families traveling or needing extra pet care! 🐾💕 I also have some flexibility during weekday mornings and am happy to accommodate special requests whenever possible! I treat every pet like they’re my own! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets feel loved and secure. I also love sending photos and updates to give owners peace of mind while they’re away!
About: I’ve had pets of my own for more than 10 years and have also spent time fostering both dogs and cats, including animals with special needs. That experience has taught me that every pet needs something a little different, whether that means extra patience, a specific routine, a slower introduction, or just plenty of attention and reassurance. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with everything from newborn kittens to extra-large dogs, and I’m very comfortable around big breeds since we have large dogs of our own at home. Fostering has also given me experience working with animals who may be nervous, shy, adjusting to a new environment, or in need of a little extra care. I’m patient and attentive, and I always try to meet animals where they are rather than expecting them to immediately warm up to me. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, cautious and reserved, or convinced they should be the center of attention at all times, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. I’m available for weekday and weekend walks, drop-ins, and varying times throughout the day, including early mornings, late evenings, and everything in between. I know pet routines don’t always fit into a 9-to-5 schedule, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. Whether you need regular care, occasional help, or a little extra flexibility, I’ll do my best to make scheduling easy and reliable. Safety, trust, and communication are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules, and any special instructions you provide. I also know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I make a point to keep owners in the loop. I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and little check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. In your home, I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses, and I always respect both your space and your pet’s boundaries. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything else that seems unusual, and I’ll communicate right away if I notice something. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable while you’re apart.
“Mary has been great taking care of my two cats! Always prompt to get back to me and very flexible with my changing schedule. My cats get along great with her. No worries about them whenever I am out of town!”


“Taylor did an amazing job taking care of my 2 kittens. This was my first time using Rover so I did not know what to expect. However, Taylor communicated very efficiently the entire time and sent great photos to reassure me the babies were ok. The house looked the same way as I left it which means the little were also behaving thanks to Taylor’s visits. Would definitely rebook for another trip!”

“Hailey was absolutely amazing! I hired her to watch my two cats while I was away on a long trip, and she did such a wonderful job. She checked in every day, kept me updated, and made sure my fur babies were happy and cared for. I came home to two very content cats and a spotless space. I’ll definitely be hiring Hailey again for future trips. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys! From owning a tiny Maltese to gentle giant Great Pyrenees, (as well as a rescue Pit Bull puppy who was completely covered in mange - I personally nursed her back to perfect health) we rescued off the street with a special rescued Beagle in the mix, I’ve loved getting to know dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Big or small, fluffy or fabulous, they all have a special place in my heart! 🐕💕 I’m also a lifelong cat lover who has rescued and cared for countless cats and kittens over the years. Whether your fur baby loves playtime, enjoys long walks, is a professional cuddler, or simply wants a little quiet company, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved.

About: Over the years I have cared for a variety of animals, including domestic, exotic, and livestock. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their medically needy animals over the past decade and I am now opening that service up to Rover. I'm not a vet tech but I am comfortable and experienced administering a variety of medical treatments like insulin injections, pill regiments, eye drops/skin ointments, and subq fluids. Leaving town with a pet can be stressful, especially one that needs specialized care. I can help. Currently over all I have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule. I have my own small business that is sporadic gig work on the weekends. Most events last 4 to 6 hours, maximum 8 hours, and not every weekend has events. I prefer to pet sit in the home the pets belong to. I find that with most animals it's incredibly stressful to move them, staying in their home with them minimalizes that stress. It also allows for easier medicine administration. I like to meet the pets and owners ahead of staying with them, this is to again reduce the stress on your pet when I show up without you as well as to observe the quality of care you are administering to your fur babies.
About: Hey! Consider trusting me with your fur family and their needs. I pay very close attention to detail, have all the patience in the world, and absolutely love animals. I have been taking care of animals my entire life! I’ve had the privilege of loving over 10 animals in my personal home over the years and worked on a farm for most of my life. My mom worked at a humane society for a long time so I’ve been exposed to many situations and exceptionalities in pets. Willing to wash, walk, and play if you provide the means to do so. No breed restrictions I love all animals. I would love to take on any task at hand! Message me and we can work out the details. I am super flexible with payment! I have zero scheduling restrictions on my available days! I would be more than happy to accept flexible arrangements. I also don’t mind out-of-the-box requests!! I am not able to accept pets into my personal apartment home at this time as I have an elderly kitty who is the absolute queen of the castle, but I know so many pet-friendly options in South Florida where your fur baby and I can have fun safely.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Melrose Park
Abby handled my cat’s challenging personality with kindness and care. I really appreciated her patience and dedication, especially knowing my cat isn’t the friendliest. It gave me peace of mind knowing my Misty was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and compassionate cat sitter!

Elizabeth is the best sitter! She watched my two cats while I was out of town for a week and I am so grateful I found her! I’ve always been nervous leaving my girls with new people but I can tell she made them feel so comfortable and loved. She provided me with thorough updates throughout my trip so I was never worried about them and was incredibly attentive to detail about their care. Thank you Elizabeth :)

Stephanie was kind, caring, punctual and super attentive to my 2 kittens. We hired her services for 8 1 hour drop-in visits. Sent updates every single time w photos! Grabbed mail for us everyday. She discovered a pool leak and quickly stopped it with some over the phone guidance, thankfully. We were so relieved. She is highly recommended -hope you get a chance to hire this loving human for your fur babies. 5 stars plus plus plus! Thank you Stephanie!

Andrea was wonderful with my cat, Loki! He’s a very shy and scared boy but she was patient, reliable, and very responsive. She always arrived on time, made sure he was fed, and sent pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I will definitely book with her again!

Mafalda with great with my 2 kitties! She kept me updated with video's and photos which help to feel at ease knowing they are getting fed and some snuggles. On the last day she even swept up the area around my liter box which was really nice to come home to:). Thank you Mafalda! Will book again:)
We’ve had a wonderful experience with Kayla. She is great with our two cats, including our elderly cat who needs medication, and we feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in her care. They clearly enjoy her visits and are relaxed and happy when we get home. We especially appreciate the photos and updates she sends—it really gives us peace of mind to know she’s keeping such a close eye on them. We would absolutely recommend her!

Nevaeh is wonderful! My big dogs loved her, my guinea pigs appreciated her, and my cats even decided that she was a friend. She respected my home and followed all of the instructions for them. She communicates quickly and kindly. I will choose her again and again.

Lindsay was amazing! She checked on my three cats over Thanksgiving week/weekend and did such a great job. She was reliable, trustworthy, and communicated every visit with pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cats were well cared for and happy when I got home. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
