“Cecilia is an absolute gem! Couldn’t ask to have found a better person to watch my cats while I’m out of town working. She has gone above and beyond on more than one occasion!!!”
“Cassi is the best! She watched my bunny for a few days while we were away for work and sent regular updates with pictures, was flexible when our flight got delayed, and left the place spotless. She went above and beyond to make sure his routine stayed consistent so he was very happy when we got back. She even spent time researching and learning about rabbits since she had not owned one before. Cassi will make you feel much more comfortable being away from your little guys!”
About: Experienced veterinary technician of 7 years now promoted to stay at home mom. Allowing me the capability to provide to those pets who need care throughout the day and evenings. I offer in home boarding / day care. Pets must be cat friendly and non aggressive towards children. I have a 2 year old daughter who adores animals and has been raised to be respectful of animal boundaries and loving towards all. I am trained on administration of medications / insulin. And can provide specialized care for those with medical conditions. I accept all ages (puppies-seniors) of all breeds. Drop in visits / walks are available as well! I am a stay at home mom who can provide all day care for your baby while you are away. Frequent potty breaks, playtime and snuggle time! We have a fenced in back yard, and will crate the dog if requested by the owner. Some pets really enjoy the security that the crate provides and I am respectful of all pet parents choices.
“Tiffany was superb. She connected well with the kitties and I could tell they trusted her. She not only provided for their food/water needs, she fed them treats and cleaned litter/swept. Loved the pictures as well. Thank you Tiffany!”
About: I have had the amazing opportunity to run and operate an animal rescue for 5 straight years. During which time we tended to each and every need including medical needs. I am home all day long. I can focus on playing with your animal for hours, making sure your animal always has eyes on them for their safety. During an animals stay or visiting the clients home. I like to make sure that the animal is well cared for by strict eating schedules as well as bathroom breaks. Let’s not forget about play time.
About: I have worked with animals for the past 19 years. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in animal science and have worked with many different species from young to old. My work experience ranges from general practice and emergency room veterinarian clinics, an animal shelter to the Knoxville zoo, and 7 years in animal agriculture. My love for all animals runs deep and through my experience I am able to administer medications, perform CPR, and just understand animal behavior all together. I personally have had two dachshunds of my own from young rescues to 17 year old seniors. I currently work remote and have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate any needs of an animal in my care. Daily walks are part of my routine regardless of the weather. I live in a home that has been converted into a duplex tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. I have a balcony allowing for outside access for bird watching or just plain old barking. I have a large backyard but not fenced. Dog beds in every room. Every animal in my care is like family meaning no couch or bed is off limits. I often plan my daily outings to allow for my animals to come with me or spend limited time alone.
“Stefanie fit us in last-minute and did an amazing job with our pups! She gave us daily updates and pictures, and went above and beyond for us. So thankful & would definitely book again :)”
“Molly did so well with my 3 cats! She followed all my requests and made sure to play with them daily. She changed their litter boxes daily and made sure each ate there correct food (one of my cats requires a special diet. I don't use rover often, so it was such a relief to have her watch over them and treat them like her own.I will definitely be requesting her in the future if I am in need of a sitter.”
“Heather did a meet & greet the day before we had her scheduled. She was a great fit for our two Golden Retrievers. She completed both visits including notes and pictures. We will definitely use Heather again!”
“Emily was dependable and so good with our pets. One dog and cat needed medicine and she had no trouble administering it ♡. I love the pictures every day. I am a worry wart and she really put me at ease.”
“Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. Our cats were happy and well looked after. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“We were very pleased with Cyndie stopping by to take care of our two cats this week. She communicated regularly regarding her visits and shared pics of our elusive cats, who aren’t much for visitors, but decided she was OK! Would definitely use her again.”
About: I absolutely adore animals! Growing up, my childhood best friend had 6 dogs and a cat which meant I did too. This quickly taught me responsibility, compassion, and awareness. I want to apply those skills and experiences with your pets and learn more. I don’t have a lot of experience but there is nothing i’m not excited to learn to help take care of your pet as you would ! I am currently an orthodontist assistant! I work Monday - Friday 8-5 and Wednesday 8-1; I am free to care for your pet after 5 on weekdays and anytime on the weekend ! I make sure to keep things organized and where I found it. I am sure to follow whatever instructions left and will ask questions for clarification because trust and understanding go hand in hand. I clean after myself and pets that I take care of. Any modifications to your pet care I will carefully take care of. I am committed to providing the best care to you and your pet!
“The absolute sweetest! We got tons of pictures of our 2 cats and all the updates we could ever want. Our girls are usually shy around new people but they adjusted so quickly to Michelle and Bryce!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Old Hickory
Jennifer took care of our cats, Jacques and Marquette, while we were out of town, and she was wonderful. She was always prompt, kept us updated after every visit, and was so kind and gentle with both cats. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats. I would never hire anyone else.
Brian was amazing! He gave our old Bulldog and our old cat lots of love and attention during his visits. He sent us photos every day showing how well our pets were taken care of. Every detail of care was taken care of; he treated our pets like they were his own.
Morgan was literally the best. One of our cats was diagnosed with diabetes just a couple weeks before we went out of town and Morgan was quick to learn how to give him his insulin and make sure both of our cats were alive and well taken care of the whole time we were gone!! We've never had to hire a cat sitter before so this was an incredible first experience. We're so thankful for her & can't wait to have her back!

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. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

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 .
