“Marcela was great! She was very responsive and accommodating despite our last-minute request. Our cat took to her immediately! It made our time away much easier on her.”
“Ana was super great! She was always on time, provided great photos, and gave a detailed review of everything she did. Super great to work with and took wonderful care of my cat.”
“Kyle was amazing! He really took the time to get to know our animals and took such good care of them! I felt completely confident and relaxed leaving them with him and I don’t typically feel that way leaving my pets with someone. He understood how much they mean to us and I feel like he treated them like they were his own. I would 100% recommend Kyle to housesit, walk your dogs, or anything else pet-related! Thank you so much Kyle!!🤗”
“Will hire again! Very communicative, and very good with the cats! This is my first time using a rover pet sitter, but I will definitely hire Cassie again. Provided daily updates and lots of pictures.”
“10 stars if I could!!! Thank you so much for all your help! At the drop of a dime came and helped out super last minute for a situation! Thank you again, 10/10 support and derive for my cats! Literally saved my cats life! Thank you”
“We were so fortunate to find Dana. Our cat is our “only child” and because I work from home, our cat can be very apprehensive and even times rude to unfamiliar guests. Dana was very patient with Kobe. She stayed at our house and everything was maintained perfectly. Dana kept us informed on Kobe’s behavior and helped on some tasks outside of her scope like taking out my trash cans and bringing in packages. Leaving your house and your pets to a stranger is stressful but I can’t recommend Dana enough!”
“Ashley was so sweet to Nimbus! When I got home, he was very relaxed and looked like he just woke from a nap, which showed me that Ashley took such good care of him. Litter was cleaned each day and she kept me up to date. Thank you, Ashley!!!”
“Bella was so caring with our cats, very communicative and compassionate! We loved seeing the pictures and updates, it’s obvious she’s incredibly passionate about animal care. We will absolutely be booking her again soon!”
“Miranda was very sweet and attentive to my cats, even when they were being difficult and needed to be separated! She gave videos and photos and was very professional!”
“We’ve used Katrina a few times now and she is always reliable!! This recent weekend was a very last minute request and she was still able to accommodate. I also appreciate all of the pictures she takes of our little old man while we’re away!”
About: ***I am independently insured through PetCare for greater peace of mind while you’re away*** ***Certified in cat and dog first aid*** I've recently gone through a career switch from caring for humans (I was a registered nurse) to caring for animals last year. However, I have loved and cared for several personal and friend’s pets, to include cats, dogs, guinea pigs, birds, and reptiles, throughout my entire life. I hold a strong passion for advocating and caring for all beings with empathy, patience, and understanding. Since my career switch, I have experienced pets who need extra attention due to daily medications, reactivity, older age, anxiety, and helping to instill training (I am not a certified trainer) the clients are already teaching their pet(s) during my walks and/or pet sits. Dog walking and pet sitting is my full time job now. Whether you need a midday walk or need someone to care for your pets while you escape on vacation, I’m available for either service throughout the week, weekend, and some holidays. While I do not provide care in my home, I do travel to your pets while you’re away. My approach to caring for animals is with a lot of patience and respect. I’m happy to take it slow for each animal that may be a bit timid at first. I have a lot of experience personally and professionally working with animals who are timid, reactive, etc. For new clients, I like to have a meet/greet to go over care instructions before the pet sitting/walking dates. This gives us the opportunity to ask questions and discuss further what you can expect while you’re away. My goal is to provide care the way your pet is used to. I send daily updates/pictures/video to give you the reassurance that your pet is being loved on just the way you would if you were there.
“Daphne was a great sitter for our cat Lola. She was timely, and always spent extra time after feedings to sit and play with Lola. We would definetely use her to cat sit again!”
“We love booking Emily and her husband to take care of our cat Lola whenever we travel. They are always punctual, and make sure they spend lots of time giving her attention. When we come home, Lola is in great spirits!”
“Wyatt is a gem! My cat loves him and is always so well taken care of! I really appreciate his care and kindness as well as all the pictures and updates! Will definitely book again! Highly recommend!”
“Very glad to have chosen Rover to watch our cat and connect with Sweta P. She's fabulous! We feel very comfortable that Hugo (that's the cat) is getting his attention, food, and loving while we are away. Loved getting photos of her visits. Will certainly book again with her. Jan”
“Hieu and Anna were able to accommodate a last minute drop-in because we had to be out the whole day. Our high energy Aussies got to see their favorite aunties and loved the visit. Thank you ladies!”

Wyatt was so helpful for a last minute booking we needed to take care of our cat Otis. He was quick to respond, took extra good care of our cat, and even offered to groom him a bit! Was obvious he loves pets and I will definitely reach out to him again if we ever need another sitter in the future.
Delina is wonderful! She took my booking on short notice and had to followed detailed instructions to care for my cat who just had a surgery. She came on time and administered medication and monitored just as I requested. She provided detailed updates on his condition. Highly recommend!
Abel checked in on our cat, Boushy, while we were out of town. He was really easy to communicate with and took excellent care of our Boushy. He also shared very cute pictures with us and we could tell that our cat really liked him. Will absolutely be asking Abel to check in on Boushy again in the future! 😊
I had a wonderful experience with McKenna! I was away traveling, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pets were being well cared for. She was dependable, attentive, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. It was clear that my pets were comfortable and well taken care of while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. I will absolutely request her service 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Meet & Greet .
