“This was an excellent experience Katherine was on time every day and Oliver was well taken care of. All drop in visits lasted the full half an hour. I highly recommend Katherine she was amazing.”
“Fantastic sitter! I had to leave my kitties home for the holiday weekend, and Andrea came to my rescue! She conducted morning and evening check ins on my kitties. She went above and beyond in ensuring my kitties were well taken care of. In addition to the responsibilities I’ve outlined (which she conducted very well), she has the perspective of a pet owner herself, so she’d text me during visits if I would also like her to trim nails, sweep the area around the litter box, etc. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your furbabies as her own, look no further than Andrea!”
“We were initially nervous about leaving our clingy cat alone for a week+ but Stephanie immediately calmed those fears! A cat mama herself she was the perfect person to keep our sweet Sterling company while we were gone. We very much appreciated the pictures & videos she’d send from each visit and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again. Thank you, Stephanie!”
“Karina did a great job with our kitties. We could tell she was the one by the way she approached each of them when she came by in our pre-visit. She kept us in the loop while we were gone and was prompt and complete during her visits. We'll use her again if available for our future trips away.”
“Was absolutely amazing with my kitty cats they fell in love with her the minute she walked through the door. She made sure the water was full, and the litter box was clean each and every time she was there. Will use her again and again.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets ranging from young adult to senior age. I rescued a feral kitty with major injuries, worked with Tampa Bay Humane Society to take care of her health concerns, and officially adopted her in 2024. I have experience with caring for pets with seizures, needing diaper changes, having specific dietary needs, and more. I’m available any time, currently I have a lot of free time so I’m able to give your pets the attention they need even on short notice. I have a cat in one hole and multiple dogs in another and I give them whatever they need to be happy with me, in my clients home I do exactly as is needed
About: I am part of the management team for a major pet retailer. I have had my own pets since I was a child. I have also cared for friends and family members pets. Such as walking, playing and just a companion for their pet when they were unable to. I will truly care about your pet as if it were my own this I promise. I have also assisted and facilitated many animal rescues. I currently work a full-time job but I was looking to bring in more income and there's nothing more that I love than being around animals. I work in the evening so I'm available in the mornings. Currently I am not doing anything for my home but I would be glad to come to your home and take care of your pet as if it were my own
“Great as always! My scaredy cats appreciate her attention to detail and looking out for them even if they hide and don't say so! Cassie notices the nuances of cat life, box issues, and even the temperature of the house and keeps me informed.”
“Laura took fantastic care of my newly adopted cat, Lillian, while I was away. Even though Lillian is still adjusting to her new environment, Laura was incredibly gentle, patient, and made her feel comfortable. She sent me regular updates and photos, which really helped ease my anxiety about leaving her for the first time. Not only did Laura keep Lillian company and play with her, but she also went above and beyond by cleaning up all the poop Lillian left outside the litter box (we’re still working on that). I highly recommend Laura if you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, caring, and actually puts effort into making your pet feel loved. I’ll absolutely be booking her again!”
“Josie wis a great communicator and a thoughtful pet sitter. She made me very comfortable leaving my baby in her care!! Josie is trustworthy & warm. On our first meet & greet my male cat IMMEDIATELY waltzed right up to her like an old friend! Josie was consistent with her care times & again: great communication. Trusted having her in my home & will rebook in the future”

“I can't say enough positive things about Angela. She was able to accommodate my last minute trip. She kept in contact throughout the day, provided adorable updates and pictures. Even though I was out of town, I felt my animals were in good hands, and I had peace of mind. I'm actually looking forward to going out of town again because I know my babies will be well taken care of. Thank you Angela!! I appreciate you!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - New Port Richey
Many thanks to Holly for taking such good care of Benny again. I can't say enough wonderful words to describe the confidence and trust we have knowing Benny ( cat ) is in Holly' expert care.....she cares as if he was her own fur baby ! Holly take time to text pictures, sending updated of how he's doing, follows instructions to the letter with feeding schedule, and most of all gives him the attention he likes. Benny has a quirk of wanting to " drink" water from the bathtub, Holly makes sure his routine goes according to what he is accustomed, keeping him happy. Holly will always, always, always be our number one choice anytime being away, we are so grateful for her.
I always have peace of mind every time I leave Selina and Moki. I've been using Rover and the same lady, Brianna, and she's been amazing! She puts up and follows my list of instructions and would send me photos and videos every day during the duration of my vacation or time away. I strongly recommend Rover, and most especially, Brianna.
Karina did a great job with our kitties. We could tell she was the one by the way she approached each of them when she came by in our pre-visit. She kept us in the loop while we were gone and was prompt and complete during her visits. We'll use her again if available for our future trips away.
Our deepest thanks to Bethany! I was so afraid to leave my cat Red girl alone, we have never left her. Bethany came and went over every detail I had and made me so comfortable. I knew Red was in great hands. We received pictures and messages. I wouldn’t want anyone else to take care of my pets in future trips! Excellent job I wish I could leave a 100 stars for Bethany’s review.

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.

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 .
