“Bronte took excellent care of my kitten Echo! She was good at administering eye drop medications, and sent plenty of photo and video updates! Would highly recommend”
About: I am a medical student looking to help care for pets in my community! I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards and frogs... oh my! I adopted two cats in the last year and have loved every minute of being their cat-mom. I have always been an animal person and pride myself on working hard, being timely and treating all creatures with the love they deserve. I am a medical student with a flexible schedule, so I am able to accommodate to your pet's needs! I can often do classes from home which allows me to set my own daily schedule most days of the week- perfect for taking a study break to walk your pup or check in on your furry friends at home! I live in apartment in Arlington but have access to safe, side-walked neighborhoods for walking your dog around! If staying in your home, I will care for your pets exactly as you would like, with genuine care, trust and a love for animals being at the core of who I am and what I do!
“Erika was wonderful with our nervous, newly adopted cat. Our girl immediately took to Erika. Erika took care of the basics, such as scooping, checking the automatic feeder, and topping up the water. Erika, also, played extensively with our girl to help keep her stimulated in our absence. Erika kept us in the loop and sent us some great photos and videos. We highly recommend Erika and look forward to her watching our girl, again! ❤️”
“Claire was so great with my cat, Joseph. She responded on short notice and sent updates while she was caring for my pet. Would recommend her to anybody looking for a pet sitter.”

“Sean and his partner Paulina were quick to respond to all messages and showed up on time, both to our meet and greet and to all three cat-sitting sessions while we were out of town. Our two babies were well fed and watered, and the more social one got some attention and play from Paulina too. The shy guy had a cleaned litter box to use when he came out of hiding after they left, but before that they even watered the flower baskets on our porch as a heat wave was starting. Thanks again Sean and Paulina!”
“It was my first time using this service and Keira…hands down the best experience ever. Keira was wonderful with my cat and kept me in the loop at every stage. I will absolutely be using Keira again. She is the best!”
“Katie was terrific! She is both knowledgeable and observant, and took such good care of our 20 year old kitty. She also went above and beyond, finding out what toys he liked or didn’t and adjusting everything to accommodate him. She’s a gem!”
“Tracie, thank you so much! We came home to a neat and clean home and you took such good care of Jinx. Thank you for going above and beyond! I hope we can rely on your again in the future!”

I also provide grooming such as nail trimming, brushing, brushing teeth, and baths if materials are provided. I am comfortable with kittens as well as older cats with medical diets or medication. When house sitting, I also can clean up after your pets, pick up mail or packages, or water your plants during my visit. My care is not just for your pet but for the health of your home too.

Weekends I’m very open to board or pet sit.I enjoy making time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection.

I also make time throughout the week for cleaning, grooming, and keeping their environment comfortable and tidy. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family! I have a quiet home with one cat of my own who is playful and friendly. I have a very clean home and am on top of the care of my own kitten.

I provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while respecting their individual personality and boundaries. I also keep their space clean and tidy and make sure they always have fresh water and a safe environment. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same care and love I would give my own.
“Laura was great! She sent the cutest photos during every visit and actually spent time with our cats. She was attentive, punctual, and followed the plans. Great care- thank you Laura!”
“This was our first booking with Emily and the first time we've left our crew of 3 kitties with anyone new. One of ours is a newly diagnosed diabetic with the need for 2x/daily insulin. Given that she was new to her and I was gone, our pouting sassy little girl was not exactly cooperative especially the first night, despite the terrific freindly meet and greet ahead of booking. Emily was very patient and creatively worked through things for the two days. We will definately use her again and with familiarity, my sassy clingy cat will be way easier...we hope. Thank you Emily!”
About: I’ve recently started pet sitting for friends and family and found it very rewarding. At home I am use to looking after my dog Remy who is an 90 pound poodle mix along with my cat Mia. They both are a handful but they are members of the family that have prepared me for looking after others. I am currently attending graduate school and am looking to start work near my home. I am always looking for opportunities to pay my way while helping others. I will work to make time in my schedule to accommodate yours! I always try and be friendly and patient. At home my dog Remy takes medication nightly while also having quiet the personality. His boisterous nature can be hard to rein in but when he is given his time he settles.

Alani was extremely responsive and professional throughout the process. She sent frequent updates and provided excellent information after each check in. I will be requesting her first anytime I need pet sitting in the future, and I would highly recommend her to anyone reading this.
Erika was wonderful with my two kitties! They were going through a finicky stage so I had to transition them to a raw diet which was a bit detailed. Erika followed everything to the letter! I love that she sent me daily photos. It was very much appreciated! Thank you Erika for giving the love and care ❤️

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.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
