“Kristen was great! She met with us and the cats on short notice. We appreciated her grabbing our mail and making sure everyone was fed, watered, and had a clean litter. Some of her proof of life photos rivals that of a professional.”
“I could tell just by meeting Amanda that she loves animals and would be a good person to have drop in for my cat Binks. She followed all the instructions I left and kept me updated about everything. She was prompt and thorough with drop ins. Amanda has loads of experience with animals and is a great choice for pet care. I recommend her highly!”
“Danielle was great! She visited our two kitties while we were out of time. Excellent communication and cute pics were sent every day. Highly recommend using Danielle!”
“Danielle was amazing! There was great communication between us and knowledge on her end. My fiancé and I felt so safe and happy knowing she was the one looking after our cat. Next time we need a cat sitter we will definitely be using her!”
“Maria did an amazing job caring for my cat while away! Very responsive and give daily photos and updates. Would definitely have her watch my cat again next time I go out of town.”
“Savannah was very responsive and took care of my cat while I was away on short notice. She provided great photos and kept me up to date on anything that came up. My cat is normally quite shy around strangers, but she immediately welcomed Savannah and warmed up to her. It really gave me peace of mind while I was gone. Thank you!”
“Regina took on my very last minute request and put my mind at ease while I was away. Both my cat and bird are recovering from illness, and she sent regular updates and pics. I appreciate her taking such good care of them and helping me feel comfortable leaving them at home.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a child, I was always the one bringing home strays, and apparently, I never outgrew that animal-loving gene! My daughter and I used to enjoy caring for pets through Rover together when she was younger. Now that she’s off to college, I suddenly have a much quieter house and a lot more free time than I’m used to. I thought returning to Rover would be the perfect way to fill some of that empty-nest space with something I truly love: spending time with animals and giving them plenty of attention, affection, and care. I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring looking after your pet while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is being treated with the same love and attention I would want for my own. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to spend with your pet. Whether they enjoy long walks, playing, relaxing together, or curling up for some extra snuggles, I'm happy to give them the companionship they need. I love taking long walks, have plenty of patience, and, most importantly, I have lots of love and snuggles to go around! ❤️🐶🐱 I would love the opportunity to become one of your pet's favorite people while you're away! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I work from home and now have an empty nest, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for walks, playtime, snuggles, and personalized attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine while providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and plenty of affection.
“Jeni gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our two cats were happy and fed for multiple days, and she went above and beyond with pics and notes about how they were doing. Will definitely book again!”
“Nicole was phenomenal with our two cats! Informative (and fun!) drop-in updates, kept them both fed and happy, and went above and beyond to make sure we came home to a clean space. Highly recommend!”
“Jessie is great! Always responds quickly and provided in depth updates and lots of pictures. She was very understanding when I had to add administering oral meds to the itinerary and took great care of my cat. Highly recommend!”
About: Young professional who loves to spend time with dogs in my free time. My free time is usually spent at home watching movies and just relaxing. What better way to spend my free time than with man's best friend at home as well. New to the area so I enjoy the company of dogs. Growing up in rural Indiana I was always around dogs whether our own or neighbors. Enjoy getting out and taking walks in new areas to explore. Have lots of free time when not working and would love to spend my time getting to hang out with new furry friends. Dog walking is another way of exercise for myself for myself when I am not spending time at the local gym. A

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 .
