“Alicia was fantastic! Very professional, detailed, and extremely caring. She catered to my cats individual needs and gave thoughtful care while I was away for an extended period. I loved her daily reviews and pictures to let me know how my cats were doing 🥰 I will definitely re-book Alicia and highly recommend!”
“Brielle is great to work with! She is responsible and friendly and sent photos of her visits with our kitties each day while we were away. House was in perfect condition when we came home and pets were well cared for. Really appreciated her great care!”

About: I’ve loved animals from a very young age and have experience with all kinds of pets. I have about 15 years experience working in a very busy specialty veterinary hospital as a vet nurse for their emergency service. So you can trust your pets are getting the best care and I can spot a potential health issue/emergency if something were to arise. Along with my medical background I have a great deal of experience and interest in animal behavior and training. Having worked with my own dogs and worked directly with trainers for my own knowledge. The hospital I worked for was fear free certified, I absolutely carry those gentle and patient techniques over when working with your pets. Taking the time to gain trust is super important! I recently moved back to this area, I went to school in haddon heights. Since moving back my schedule is pretty open so I can focus on taking care of your pets! I have my own car and can come to your house so your pet(s) don’t have to stress in an unfamiliar environment. Alternatively I do offer day boarding in my home which has a fully fenced yard with plenty of space to run. Whatever the circumstances, I am available by phone/text always and will happily send updates and pics as often as you’d like so you can enjoy your time away from your pets.
“Brijana was absolutely wonderful with our cat. She took such great care to keep her food fresh and her water full, and most importantly gave her plenty of pets and snuggles. It was clear our cat felt comfortable and loved while we were away, which gave us real peace of mind. We’re so grateful for Brijana and would happily trust her again.”
“Denise did a great job taking care of our 4 month old kittens and put me at ease by sending lots of cute pictures and videos and keeping me updated. She responded to my booking request quickly and we met that day and we booked her with only a few days notice. Highly recommended. Thanks Denise!”
About: I have spent all of my life around animals, and have absolutely loved spending time with them since I was young. As a kid I volunteered at my local shelter, playing with the residents and doing what I could to help take care of them and keep them happy. I personally grew up with both cats and dogs. I was the family member responsible for training and teaching our dogs new commands. I would be more than happy to go on long walks or spend time playing with and keeping your pets company. I am currently a school teacher on break, so I have plenty of time to love on your fur baby! I am currently openly available, until the school year begins in September. Until then, I am generally available during the week from 8 am to 10 pm. Once the school year begins I am available for housesitting for pets that can be left alone for a workday. I can offer drop ins and walks after 3:30 pm on school days. I am more than happy to feed, walk, play with, and love your animals in your home. I have experience with administering insulin to cats as well.
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with 20 years of experience handling dogs of many breeds and sizes, with a specialty in small dogs. I understand that leaving your furry family member behind can be stressful, so my #1 priority is providing a safe, structured, and fun environment while you are away. I am trained in canine first aid, experienced with high-energy small breeds, and skilled at administering medications. I treat every dog as if they were my own, sticking to their regular feeding and walking schedules to keep them happy and reduce anxiety. I am extremely communicative and will send you detailed daily updates with plenty of photos so you can enjoy your time away worry-free. My daily routine is incredibly flexible and built around your pet's needs. Whether I'm staying overnight at your house or just doing daily drop-ins, I offer early morning, midday, and evening visits with ease. For extended stays, I simply bring my laptop and work remotely from your home. This means your pets get constant companionship, plenty of potty breaks, and your house stays occupied for as long as you need me there. I know what it's like to lose a pet, so safety will always be my number one priority. Trust and security go hand-in-hand with my remote work lifestyle. Since I'll be in your home for extended periods, I can actively keep an eye on both your property and your pets. I take my responsibility seriously: I'll bring in your mail and packages, water your plants, and clean up after your pets daily. I am meticulous about locking doors and windows behind me. I will closely monitor your pets for any subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or illness. I always aim to leave your home exactly as clean, if not cleaner, than I found it.
“Mary was wonderful with our 2 cats! They loved her and she really went above and beyond for us by giving Emmet some unexpected medicine that he needed to take while we were away. We highly recommend Mary to any other pet parents!”
About: I genuinely love all animals. I volunteered at the PSPCA for 3 years. I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own! I do currently work full time so I am mainly available all day on Saturday & Sundays and Monday through Friday after 4:30pm only. If this works for you, reach out! I currently do not offer boarding services. But I will create a safe environment for your fur baby regardless where we are. Safety and building trust is essential to me.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and have worked on Rover before! I also worked for a pet sitting company - MUTTch Better Dog Walking & Pet Services LLC. I work fully remote! My schedule is relatively free, I have a car, and I am here most weekends and during lunch time. Remote work soon will increase my availability. I can meet your needs at your home with your pet for whatever they need. I’m always on my phone and will send cute update pictures throughout the day!
“Vanessa did a wonderful job checking in on my cat while we were on vacation. She’s very communicative, attentive, has an obvious love for animals, and is an all around awesome person to work with. We will definitely have her pet sit again. Thank you Vanessa!!”
“Sophie did such a great job watching my senior yorkie and four month old kitten. My dog is very hesitant with people, but Sophie had no issues whatsoever. Also, she followed my detailed/lengthy feeding instructions for both pets and took my dog out whenever she checked in. She did a great job, I definitely recommend and will be rebooking in the future.”
About: I am an animal lover! I have over 30 years of experience caring for cats and dogs. I grew up with cats my entire life, and I raised my dog son ( a pit bull) from just 12 weeks old all the way to 9. I have firsthand experience with training, daily care, administering medicine and understanding a pet’s unique needs. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit for feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and love, or you’re looking for someone to provide care while you’re away, I’m here to help. Every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I will treat them like they’re my own. Please don’t hesitate to share your pet’s routine or any special requests, I will do my very best to accommodate your needs and provide the loving care your animal deserves. I currently bartend on Wednesdays and Friday and Saturday. I don’t normally leave my house until later in the evening around 6. My schedule makes It easy to accommodate any schedule you may need. I’m currently living in a second floor apartment in south philly . If your pet does not do well with stairs this might not be the best fit for you. Other than that I have no problem with pets on furniture. If the animal is a cat I would need them to be litter trained (I know you know this) and for a dog I am able to take them out multiple times a day.
“Gregory is amazing. I have used him more than once and my dog loves him. He is so good with my dog and I have a very large and hyper dog. I highly recommend.”
“Anna formed an instant bond with our kitties and did such a great job taking care of them! So thankful for the detailed updates and great photos!”
About: I was very fortunate to grow up around an abundance of pets- be it dogs, cats, birds, rodents, or even reptiles. Because of this, I have years of animal handling experience of all kinds, and have even raised puppies. I am an avid walker averaging around 15 miles a day for fun, so if your little guy needs walking, I would love to help out. I will be working a full-time in-person job until July 31st, but am available weekends and evenings. Starting in August, I will be working remote which will allow me a lot more flexibility with watching your baby! Your home is your rules, and we will abide by it. That means if there are no animals allowed on the furniture, we will do just that. I can provide walking, litter box cleaning, feeding, and I can play with your animals. If more is needed, we can absolutely talk about that and I would love to help!

Chelsea took such great care of my kitties! I kind of had a lot of instructions because of one cat’s medical issues and I really appreciate that she left detailed notes about this. She also sent lots of reassuring photos. I feel great knowing my kitties are in good hands with her!
We can't say enough about how happy we were with Brianna's care of our pets. We have 5 indoor cats and 2 ferals in our household. The twice daily (AM and PM) responsibilities included giving one of the cats 2 medications daily, multiple feeding instructions for wet and dry foods, and litter maintenance. Brianna provided thorough communication and photos on all visits. Notably, Brianna demonstrated keen observational skills and diligence by contacting us when it appeared someone had been to the house between her visits (it was a family member who had stopped by to pick up something). It became clear that Brianna is not just smart and dependable, she really loved our cats and took care of them as if they were her own. We would not hesitate to have Brianna take care of them in the future.
Very well deserved star sitter status!! Gokhan and Sue were so great with our three cats. They were prompt, detail oriented, and provided thorough updates with lots of pictures. But above all else, they were so gentle and caring with our cats. Will definitely be booking with them again!
Alexis was amazing with my cat! 💗 I was really nervous about leaving my cat with a new person, but Alexis completely put my mind at ease. She was so kind, attentive, and communicative. She sent me so many pictures and videos of Taco looking happy and cared for. I’m so grateful she took such great care of my kitty and I would absolutely book her again! Thank you Alexis!
Kelsey was amazing with my cat! We just moved to our new house before a week away, so I was feeling a little worried about Bitsy's being without us. But Kelsey's visits clearly made my kitty happy. The daily photos, videos and other home updates were fantastic. Thank you so much, Kelsey!! Highly recommend!

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 .
