“Elizabeth did a great job with my cats. She spent time going through their care with me, left detailed notes of the drop in visits and took lots of pictures. I definitely will hire her again!”
“Bethany truly went above and beyond for a last-minute drop-in after a schedule change kept us out of town overnight. Not only were our pets taken care of as asked, but they were played with, loved on, and our home was left better than we left it - with dishes and feeding mats washed and cleaned and litter boxes checked and attended to. We were truly blown away and so grateful after a long day. We feel completely confident in this sitter’s abilities and will absolutely be return clients.”
“Absolute dream to work with! Penny was pampered and spoiled, as is her right. I am an anxious person but new parent fears went out the window after meeting Meredith. Would recommend to any and all!!!”
“This was my first time leaving these pets for any length of time and I was nervous. Lauren immediately put me at ease. She’s very caring, my pets loved her, and she communicated and sent pictures with every visit. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her in the future.”

“Priscilla was amazing. I can't say enough about how well she took care of our three kitty boys. She showed up on time every day, gave us daily reports on how they were doing. Priscilla is awesome. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants their furry loved ones to be well cared for! Thank you so much, Priscilla!”

About: Ever since I was a young child I've grown up around friends dogs always wanting a pet of my own to love and care for, 10 years ago my dream came true with a ball of kitty love named Oreo. I have taken care of dogs many times, when I would visit a house with a pet, I would always say hello to their pet and give them lots of pets. I've taken care of friend's dogs while they're on vacation and I would love to take care of yours! My experience with my own pets: I've grown up with cats, a total of 10 cats have been in this house with a max of 9 at a time! The first cat I had gotten was a ball of love named Oreo who grew up with many health issues but lived a long, happy 10 years of life. Next is Midnight, a loving black cat from the start of his life, lounging around the house to his hearts content. Holly was a scaredy cat from the start, though after years of treating her with gentle love now, she's comfortable around people and loves getting her long, luxurious coat brushed. Nermal, guess where her name came from, is a lazy cat who hates the vet and startles easily, but we make sure to keep an eye out for her to not scare her too bad. Loki came to us with his pregnant sister Mini, two kitties that were a handful! Loki was a being of chaos, attacking anyone who got close, unless you picked him up, now that he's calmed down I'm his favorite person in the world! Mini gave birth to a litter of 4 baby kittens, all of them grew up healthy and 3 of them were fostered off to loving families we trust dearly. Mini is living her best life lounging around on the floor, no idea why she loves the middle of walkways so much they've got to be super comfy. The baby we kept was the odd one out, a grey and white tuxedo we named Pipsqueak, the small squeaky girl who loves to play with anything that moves. I am a very free person without many major commitments at the moment and the ones I have are easily worked around with people at home who love and care for our house pets. I am very attentive to animal's needs, sometimes I worry a bit too much about them. Able to respond quickly to a bark to be let out or a cat hovering when it's time for food. Not only can I take care of pets I'm an expert at giving them all the love and attention they could ever ask for, so much that they'll get sick of me!
“My seconding time booking Deborah and she’s great! Follows the routine. And plays and loves on your pet! The first thing she said to me once I rebooked with her was “I’m so excited to see her again.” which is something very heartwarming to see when you’re leaving your pet to be taken care of by someone.”
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life, from taking care of neighbors pets as a kid, to now owning two cats of my own! I am currently in nurse practitioner school looking to make some money to support me through that. I have some basic animal training experience, as well as medication administration if needed. I would love to take care of your pets and give them some extra love, they deserve it! I am currently working per diem as an RN while I put myself through nurse practitioner school, because of this my schedule is flexible! I am available most weekends and weekdays. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my boyfriend and two cats. I spoil our kitties and would love to spoil your pet(s) while I care for them as well!
“She did a wonderful job for my cat, Roo, befriending her almost immediately and keeping her happy and engaged while I was away... I could tell that after a few days Roo loved her as much as me! I'd absolutely recommend Marcia to anyone in need of petsitting.”
“Alex was kind. Personable, and most importantly took fantastic care of my creatures. She left the apartment in the same shape I found it, and worked with me on the peculiar entrance and exit methods. Would 100% re book and I’m very thankful for her help.”

“Tara is so sweet and kind to our kitties! She hung out with them and gave them lots of good pets and attention I can tell that she’s spent time there because they seemed calm when I got home. I highly recommend Tara!”
“Kejda was great and so good with our puppy! I felt comfortable and trusted her with her and Roxie had a great time. 10/10 would recommend & have her watch our animals again!”
About: My first job was pet sitting and dog walking, and I've loved caring for animals ever since! As a Connecticut local, I know many great walking trails and currently walk about 4 miles a day, so your pup will get plenty of exercise and adventure. I'm also a proud cat parent to two cats, one of whom I adopted after volunteering at an animal shelter for three years during college. I'd love to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, personalized care. I naturally build pet care into my daily routine—I love spending my evenings going for walks and relaxing with my cat, and I always make time for play, exercise, and one-on-one attention. Whether your pet needs an active adventure or a calm companion, I'm happy to adapt to their routine and make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Creating a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment for every pet is my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and social cues so I can approach them in a way that helps them feel safe and at ease. I never rush introductions—instead, I let pets warm up at their own pace and learn what makes them happiest, whether that's playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having calm companionship. In my home, I make safety a priority by ensuring all of my plants are pet-safe and that there are no hazards or unsafe items within reach. I also have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time. As a pet owner myself and a former shelter volunteer, I understand the importance of providing a secure, enriching environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved.

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. 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 .
