“From the meet and greet I knew that Ace would be really thoughtful and respectful. He took special note of my cats' personalities, what they needed, and how I interact with them. After Ace stayed with my 2 cats, I can recommend him without reservation. He is detail oriented, attuned to pet and owner personalities, and is incredibly communicative and thoughtful. Before I left, he thought to ask questions about food allergies I might have and using my kitchenware to cook. While I was gone, he sent regular updates that included everything - photos, Bruce's and Miso's moods/activity, schedule. Both the consistency and the content of the updates made me SO at ease while away. I knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that Bruce and Miso were being loved, doted on, and cared for in exactly the same way I would be doing if I was there. Ace very clearly loves animals. He is also incredibly detail oriented, communicative, and flexible. I had crazy schedule changes that he was able to work around, I never had to ask any questions because he had already given me the updates, and he went above and beyond in the care of my house, too - it was immaculate. Ace is simply exemplary and I would be thrilled to be able to work with him again.”

“Anne was super easy to work with and did a great job checking in my cats while I was away! She sent pictures and even managed to coax out my anxious cat which I really did not expect at all. She did some playing with my friendlier girl and made sure all their needs were taken care of. I really appreciate having her stop in and I know that the next time I need a sitter I'll book Anne again! Thank you!”

“Sarah is the best! I have an older pup and an independent cat; right away she put my mind at ease as her experience and care for animals radiates. She communicated clearly and promptly with me from the pre-booking to after the visits. She followed every direction and went above and beyond. I loved her updates and photos; I appreciated her kindness and attention to details. My pets said they had an amazing time with her! I would recommend her and welcome her back any time.”

“I'm very thankful for Katie, she was able to watch our 18 year old senior kitty on two occasions while we were away. She kept us updated through the app and sent pics of him after each visit. She was also able to give him his insulin and other medication, which was amazing and helped put us at ease. Overall, she was great and I would highly recommend her!”

About: I provide overnight boarding in my spacious, spotless apartment in Orange. Dogs in my care are treated like family: never crated unless requested, always supervised, and given plenty of love, cuddles, and regular walks throughout the day. I've cared for dogs of friends, family, and neighbors for years and understand that leaving your pet requires real trust. Your dog will have a calm, clean, private home environment, not a kennel. I'm a working professional with a flexible schedule, so your pup will never be left alone for long. Small to medium breeds welcome! work full-time during weekdays but pets are never left alone for more than 4 hours at a time. Mornings start with feeding, outdoor time, and play before I head to work. I’m fully available evenings, nights, and weekends. Overnight stays are my specialty — your pet will have company throughout the evening and morning when they need it most. I can accommodate last-minute bookings and am flexible with drop-off and pick-up times Your pet will stay in my spacious, clean private home in a quiet Milford neighborhood just minutes from the Long Island Sound, complete with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and fresh air. I have a 4-year-old Tibetan Spaniel named Peaches who is calm, gentle, and friendly with both dogs and cats — making her the perfect low-key companion for visiting pets. She’s easygoing and won’t overwhelm anxious or shy animals. Cats have their own dedicated private room with daily cleaned litter boxes, fresh water, and cozy spots to relax — completely separate from dogs for a stress-free stay. I provide daily photo and text updates so you always know your fur baby is happy and safe. No crates unless specifically requested — just a warm, loving home environment.

About: My first “job” was dog sitting when I was in first grade. I included snuggling them every night in my promise to owners, and to this day nothing has changed. I work at the children’s hospital as a pediatric audiology extern from 7:30 am-6 pm every day. I would love to dog walk on weekday evenings and I am available to pet sit and dog walk on weekends. Pets’ safety is always the number one priority. With me, your pet will never be unattended or in dangerous situations. I also value other people’s space and home.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 10. I’ve always treated pets like family and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention and patience. I’m also comfortable caring for energetic dogs and making sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I have flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to dedicate time throughout the day to walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m comfortable building my day around a pet’s individual routine and making sure they don’t feel rushed or overlooked. Whether that means a morning walk, midday check-in, some playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and welcome. I keep a clean and calm environment, follow their normal feeding and bathroom routines, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I also take time to learn each pet’s personality and respect their individual comfort level. Whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer to relax and stay close to me, I want them to feel like they’re in a home where they’re genuinely cared for.

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.

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.
