“Jennifer was easy to communicate with and very flexible with our schedule. She was prompt with her check ins and made sure to send photos with her rover cards. She also went above and beyond what we asked her to do!”
“Emily was phenomenal!! The photos and updates let me know my pets were well cared for. She was beyond patient with one cat that was pretty grumpy I was gone and I'm so thankful she was there to take care of them!”
“August was great! She made time quickly to come meet our cats before she watched them and communicated well while we were gone! The cats warmed up to her well and we will for sure be using her for cat/dog care in the future!”
About: I previously worked in the vet field for over 20 years and am comfortable with all breeds, ages and species! I truly adore all animals! I'm a SAHM with 2 young boys so I'd prefer to care for animals during their school hours and the occasional weekend walk or visit! My 7 pets are my absolute world. I will treat your pets as thought they are my own. I do however require leash walks off site!
“Ella dropped in for cat care daily for almost 2 weeks. She is reliable and very responsive as well as attentive. Her professional approach to her job is admirable. Hope we can work together again one day. Thank you Ella.”
“This is our 3rd time working with Allison and we will definitely continue to use her services. If you’re looking for a caring responsible trustworthy sitter Allison is your go to!”
“Ashlyn was willing to watch our cat on short notice after we had to unexpectedly leave town, and we are so grateful! We recently moved to the area so we were especially worried about leaving our girl. Fortunately, Ashlyn was very communicative, sending daily photos and updates, which helped ease our stress. Our cat is typically shy and can take a few days to warm up to new people, but she seemed comfortable within a day of Ashlyn watching her. We are again so appreciative of her and will definitely be asking her to watch our girl again in the future!”
About: I have pet sat for various friends and family from daily check in with the pets to overnight stays in home. I have also owned various pets myself from cats, dogs, fish, lizards, etc. I enjoy making sure the pets are happy and taken care of, while following any rules and requests left by the pet owner! I am available to do overnight pet care if the pet owner is out of town, visits and stays during the day to check on pets and let them out for potty breaks, walks, playing, etc. I like to keep an eye on pets when I am caring for them, making sure they are not getting into places they do not belong. I will play with them with toys and in the yard if needed. When staying the night I will make sure pets are where they are supposed to be, fed, etc.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have been working with them since I was a young teenager! Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience at a dog boarding facility, a veterinary clinic, and now full-time at a local animal shelter, caring for pets of all personalities and needs. Through fostering, I became even more familiar with cats, and at home, I share my life with two dogs and three cats. I’ve had several long-standing pet-sitting clients before moving to this area outside of Rover, and I love meeting new pets and building bonds with them. I’m confident administering medications and giving attentive, loving care to make sure your furry friends are happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away. If your pet has fur, I’ve got it covered! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work full-time, so I’m available for morning check-ins or walks before 8 AM and evening visits after 5 PM. On weekends, I’m wide open and happy to schedule drop-ins or walks based on what works best for you and your pet. I may also be able to accommodate a midday walk or check-in between 12 PM and 2 PM, depending on your location and your pet’s needs. I’m also available on government holidays, and I’m always happy to communicate and find a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and well cared for! I care for every pet as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness. I strive to make every interaction safe, fun, and fulfilling for the animal while respecting their individual needs and boundaries. On walks, I stay alert and attentive, ensuring pets remain safe at all times and calmly leaving any situation that makes them seem uncomfortable or stressed. During drop-in visits, I closely observe each pet’s overall well-being, including their behavior, energy level, and routine, and I will promptly report any concerns to the owner. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel secure and well cared for in their home or while out on walks.
About: I will show your animal the General love and care as I give my own! I love dogs and cats and would love to care for them when you’re unable to! I love giving lovings and napping with the animals they love cuddling in the bed together! I work full time Monday through Friday typically but am very willing to work around those hours to care for your loves! I typically am free in the evenings and can wake up earlier to take care of your babies if needed before work. I treat everyone’s home with respect. I know it is sometimes uneasy trusting someone new as some people have no respect for others and their belongings rest assured with me your house will be in the same condition you left it in!
“I just want to start off saying if I could give a 1000 ⭐'s I would. I needed someone to board my cats within 30 minutes of finding this app. I came across Haley's profile first and I am so glad I did. My cats were terrified and she was immediately just so inviting and making sure I was ok with leaving them. My cats came around and were like a part of her family. She sent me pictures and the overall experience made me feel at ease and Haley sent me pictures and kept me up to date. I would absolutely use Haley again without question. Thank you Haley for taking care of my babies like they were your own.”

New to the area. Needed a pet sitter. Molly was awesome. Had her watch our cat for 2 weeks. She was very sweet and worked with all our requests. She was prompt to respond, answered any question we had while we were gone. Our kitty was well fed and had good water when we came back! We plan to use her whenever we go out of town!

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 .
