“Emily was amazing!! This was my first time using Rover. My cat has some medical issues, so I was a bit nervous, but she was able to give him both his medications. She sent so many pictures and little updates which made me feel so much better.”
“Wow, Linda again went above and beyond for my cats! One of them started to act a little sick/injured while I was out of state, and she did two extra drop ins just to check in on him before I got back, even though she definitely didn’t have to. I cannot tell her enough how thankful I am!!! She really cares about my animals, and she’s a blessing of a rover!!! If I could give her 10 stars I would!”
“Abby was fantastic! She took great care of our kitty and sent pictures everyday. Our cat loved her and it was evident that she was well cared for while we were gone. Can't wait to use her again!”
“Anna took great care of our 4 (admittedly difficult) cats while we were out of town. She was able to wrangle and feed and medicate the zoo and kept us updated with cute pictures of them all every day!”
“Thanks so much to Alexandra for doing such a great job with Punk'n during his drop in. He was very relaxed and happy and when u got home and I know he had fun during the visit. I love the pictures and the feedback you have on his visit.”
“Kristen did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away. She sent daily updates and photos, and I always felt confident that my cat was in great hands. She was reliable, caring, and communicative throughout the entire week. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!”
“Kaitlyn was awesome! She provided detailed updates after every visit and continued to communicate with me throughout my entire trip. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Taylor was the *best*! My cat, Beow, was well taken care of while I was out of town. Taylor provided thorough updates and lots of cute photos. Thank you so much for caring for my bb.”
“This is the second time I’ve used Kailyn to watch Coco. This time she was also house sitting instead of just doing drop ins. She did such a great job! She left literally zero remnants of being here! It was so sweet for her to clean up. Would highly recommend.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 15 and have cared for everything from playful puppies to pets with medical needs. I also spent three years caring for a senior dog, giving me experience with medication routines, mobility support, and gentle, attentive care. Growing up with both cats and dogs taught me patience, confidence, and how to make every pet feel safe, loved, and understood. As a part‑time fifth‑year architecture student, I have a flexible weekly schedule that allows me to reliably incorporate pet care into my days. I balance studio work with plenty of time at home, which makes it easy for me to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and companionship. Pet sitting has been part of my life since I was 15, so building it into my routine feels natural, it’s a job I genuinely enjoy and make space for every week. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely, from feeding and walks to medication schedules and preferred play styles. I keep the home tidy, respect all instructions, and make sure pets feel secure while their owners are away. Because I’ve cared for pets with medical needs, puppies, and seniors, I’m comfortable adapting to whatever level of support each pet requires.
About: I love all sorts of cats and dogs, and have been pet sitting since I was 13. I am now trying to make money for college, and spending time with pets seems like the best way to do it This is my only job at the moment, so I can be very flexible with any times & dates. The one thing is that I am not much of a morning person, but I will be very happy to comply with any time if an early check-in is needed :) I would be more than happy to give your pet all of the attention it needs, as well as feed them, give them water, clean their litter box, take them outside, clean up their messes, or help them with anything they might need! Just let me know!
About: I have extensive experience in both animal welfare and veterinary clinic settings, giving me a strong foundation in pet care, behavior, and health. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from high-energy puppies to seniors and pets needing extra patience or structure. I also graduated from Auburn in 2017 with a degree in animal sciences Through my work, I’ve gained hands-on experience with safe handling, administering medications (oral, transdermal, subcutaneous and intramuscular injections, etc), recognizing signs of stress or illness, and supporting pets in new or unfamiliar environments. I’m calm, reliable, and very detail-oriented, and I take pride in keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and work from home full time that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins and walks, and I can accommodate morning, midday, and evening routines with boarding animals. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s normal schedule to keep things consistent and low-stress. With my background in animal welfare and veterinary clinics, safety is always my top priority. I’m experienced in reading body language, handling pets safely, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. In your home and mine, I make sure routines are followed closely and your pet stays comfortable in their environment. I’m respectful of your space, detail-oriented, and always prioritize clear communication so you feel confident while you’re away.
“Alexis did such a great job caring for my cat, Lacey! She was very good with communication and updates, if there were any questions or just to send pictures, which I loved! I will definitely be booking with Alexis next time I have to go out of town, knowing Lacey will be safe and well taken care of. Thank you!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for pets of my own as well as pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, litter boxes, giving lots of attention, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I’m patient, dependable, and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I am a college student so I can pet sit after classes on Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and weekends! I would love to take care of your fur babies! I have a kitten named Fid, I recently adopted him. I care for him by feeding him his wet food and adding water so that he does not get dehydrated. I also make sure his paws stay clean by cleaning them once a week. I always make sure he is safe and gets lots of cuddles!
About: Hi! I’m a total cat lover with 2 years of pet care experience, and I absolutely adore getting to know each kitty’s unique personality. Whether your cat is playful and curious or shy and independent, I’m patient, gentle, and happy to move at their pace. I love interactive playtime, cozy cuddle sessions (when they allow it!), and making sure litter boxes, feeding routines, and daily care are perfectly handled. My goal is to keep your cat feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away — and I’ll always send plenty of sweet updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing! 🐾✨ As a hardworking high school student with a flexible routine, I’m available on weekdays after school and most weekends. I plan my schedule carefully so I can give pets my full attention, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care. When I’m with your pet, they are my priority, and I make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and consistent care. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first with me. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any house rules you provide. I keep a clean, calm environment and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of your home, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you feel completely confident while you’re away. 🐾💗

Kristen did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away. She sent daily updates and photos, and I always felt confident that my cat was in great hands. She was reliable, caring, and communicative throughout the entire week. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!
Samantha was absolutely amazing!! she went above and beyond to take the best care of our cat Laddy! She spent extensive time loving on him and actually playing with him on her visits and even went the extra mile to brush him both days and scooped his box. I also really enjoyed getting photos and the fun little report card every day. We will absolutely be rebooking!! one of the best Rover experiences we have ever had! It was such a good feeling to come home today and know that Laddy has been in such good hands.

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.

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 .

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 .
