“Jessica is absolutely amazing! I’m a very anxious cat parent, and thanks to her, I was actually able to enjoy my trip without constantly worrying about my boys. She pays incredible attention to detail and truly cares about the cats she looks after. When Skubi started having some health issues, Jessica monitored him closely, kept me informed, and once we got his medication, she started him on it and updated me every step of the way. That really meant a lot to me. She also sends the most wonderful pictures and thoughtful updates, which always put my mind at ease. Honestly, there aren’t enough good things I could say about her. Jessica is a truly wonderful, trustworthy, and compassionate cat sitter, and I’m so grateful to have found her! 🥰”
“Mary was communicative, caring and shared detailed updates! We had a lot of peace of mind that the cats were well taken care of while I was away, and they were happy and secure when we arrived home. Look forward to having Mary watch our cats again!”
About: Over the years I have taken care of many different kinds of animals including dogs and cats (of which I've owned two of each), guinea pigs, mice, and more! In my veterinary science classes, I learned a lot about the handling of dogs, cats, and small animals and got lots of hands-on experience working with dogs during weekly grooming days. Previously, I have worked in a dog hotel as a kennel assistant where I provided many different services for dogs including feeding, cleaning and walking. Along with this, I also often pet sit for my friends and family :D I have a good amount of time on weekdays to look after pets. If anything pops up that will be communicated through messages or on my calendar 👍 I have experience working with a variety of tempers in dogs, cats, and other animals. I'm very patient with nervous/shy animals and can match a higher energy as well.
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I've watched my neighbors, family, and others' pets, making sure they are getting the top-notch care they deserve! Animals have always been a constant in my life, and I can't remember a time I didn't have any pets around. I work to build a connection with every animal I work with so that they feel comfortable until their human returns home. I've cared for pets big and small, and will always make sure owners get the updates they deserve. I am very flexible in my schedule, as I am a current college student. I have plenty of time in my day to make sure your pet is well cared for! In my home, I have a fenced-in yard with a designated dog area. I have plenty of room inside and outside so that your furry friend will feel comfortable. As for my client's home, I will make sure to understand the rules and boundaries for any animals I am caring for.
About: Throughout my life, me and my family have constantly had dogs and cats in and out of the house, ranging from small puppies/kittens to largest dogs. I’ve rescued so many animals with my mother and it has become a norm to be around multiple at a time.I love being with animals and enjoy spending time with all types. I’m a part time employee so weekdays I’m free from 11:30 to around 3 but on Fridays and Saturday I’m free all day. Sundays after 4pm I can feed, play, or walk any animal and can adjust to all personalities. I can ensure that whatever instructions you give me I will do my best to make them happen and make sure you animals is well taken care of.
“Thank you so much Mallory!! She did a great job giving my cat and bunnies love and care while we were away! She was friendly and patient with us (the owners, lol) We love the pictures and notes she sent. I would love to have Mallory back to help us out 🙏🏻”
“Overall Sierra was great. She was very communicative and was willing to sort of modify what a normal visit would look like since I have pretty shy and anxious cats.”
“Mitzi is such a kind person—professional, thoughtful, and responsive. I’ve now used Mitzi’s services twice and have had a wonderful experience each time. I will definitely continue to use her services in the future. Thank you, Mitzi!”
About: I love caring for all kinds of animals! 🐾 I’m comfortable looking after pets with all sorts of personalities, routines, and special needs. Whether it’s taking an energetic dog on a walk, giving a cat some much needed cuddles, keeping small pets fed and comfortable, or simply making sure an animal has company while their person is away, I’m happy to help! I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and always do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. ❤️ I have time for work I’m looking to make enough money to move out of my parents house and be able to afford basic living expenses I spend a lot of time taking care of my pets. I walk the dogs, clean up their poop, I also feed them multiple times a day. I also spend several hours a day holding or cuddling my clingy cat and caring for her needs as well.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 5+ years for friends, family, neighbors, and clients. I absolutely love getting to know every pet’s personality! I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and cats to K9s and a 17-year-old dog who needed multiple medications and strict schedule. I also have 5 pets of my own (2 dogs and 3 cats), so I’m used to lots of love, different routines, and pets with all kinds of needs! Fun fact, I volunteer for rescue in puerto rico flying animals back to the states when I travel there. I’m currently in college, so my availability depends on my class schedule during the semester. However, when I’m home on school breaks, I’m completely available and would love to spend my time caring for pets! I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I follow each pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel comfortable in their own home. I’m respectful of your space, careful with instructions, and happy to provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!
About: As a primarily work-from home adult with many friends who have small pets, I have extensive experience watching pets that come from different families and environments, and thus have different needs. I've gone to friends' houses to feed and play with their cats, stayed overnight to catsit, and currently live in a household with two cats and a small, ex-service dog. I grew up caring for a pet bunny who required more care than other pets, and have lived around or with family members who have pet cats and dogs, so I'm very comfortable with most animals. I'm currently in between jobs so I have a lot of open availability! I generally prefer weekdays between 11 am and 7pm, and am open to overnight cat-sitting as well. For short stays (an afternoon, a day, or one night), I'm happy to take care of your pet with 24 hours notice. For extended stays, I do prefer at least a 2-3 days heads up so I can ensure the house is clean and pet-safe. We have a fenced back yard, child locks on cupboards, and a small baby gate in the kitchen to keep different pets out of trouble.
“Christine could not have been more professional and fantastic. Marty is often a bit standoffish, but, in every picture we saw of him, he looked happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely be calling on Christine when we head out in the future!”
About: I have been a pet owner all my life, and have spent many of those years watching over dogs for friends, family, neighbors, and many more. I gained experience through several years of training as a veterinary nurse at two high volume animal hospitals in the Seattle area, and have been partnered with Rover for quite some time now. That being said, I love my fuzzy creatures and have learned a good deal about how to provide excellent care to them. I live an active lifestyle, and would love to bring your dog along on hikes or frequent walks, just as much as having nights inside with them to wind down and to relax. I work remotely, giving me the flexibility to make frequent trips back and forth to check in, so your dog would never be left alone for too long. I work full time remotely from M-F and am free on the evenings and weekends. During the week, I am able to make drop-in visits during working hours to nearby clients as well. I always want to respect my client's privacy and personal space, so I stay professional whether it comes to staying overnight or dropping by. I'm happy to play outside with your pup in a fenced in yard or outdoor park, or inside in a roomy area where everyone can play safe and fun.
About: I’ve had a dog of my own who will always hold a special place in my heart. 🐶💕 I’d love to give your pup the same love, attention, and care they deserve! I work full-time, but I live very close to home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to check in on your babies throughout the day. I’ll make sure they get regular walks, attention, and care while you’re away! I have two friendly cats who are happy to keep your pets company! 🐱💕 If your pet prefers their own space, I also have a spare bedroom where they can relax comfortably and have some quiet time. I’ll always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Oakton
Abby was simply wonderful. She visited our kitty, Sammie, twice a day to feed her. She and Sammie played, purred and took lots of pictures for us to see the smiles. She is so kind and caring and we felt great leaving our almost 16 year old kitty in her care while we were away. She went the extra mile and gathered some stray deliveries and mail for us. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Ten stars for Abby!
He is very reliable and response quickly. We had AC issue while we were away and he visited our house to feed our cat so we asked him to check the AC thermostat. He showed us the thermostat with his Facetime just like he did with our cat. It was helpful to confirm the thermostat was off.
Matt is an exceptional pet sitter who has taken care of our cats several times over the years. He has gone above and beyond to make it through snowy and icy weather and check on the animals despite the hazardous conditions. He and his wife Carolina are our go-to sitters.
Bristol was fantastic for drop in visits for both cats and dogs! She was a great help in finding a last minute pet sitter. She is very quick and responsive to messages and included detailed updates about our fur babies, and truly seemed to care about them. Would definitely recommend Bristol for all other pet needs, and will definitely be reaching out again if we need help in the future!!
Seth was absolutely amazing! The constant communication and the daily pictures and videos he sent make you very comfortable. When I came home everything was clean for my cat and left the place just like how we left it. I would definitely recommend Seth as I will be booking him more for the future

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.
