“Patricia did a wonderful job with our senior kitty!! We received updates every visit and she even brought our kitty treats to get him to take his meds. Would hire her again for all future visits!”
“Monica is AMAZING. She took such good care of my two cats and they absolutely love her. After every drop in she would write such detailed notes and send so many cute photos. Gave me so much peace of mind! If you are looking for someone wonderful, reliable, and kind to look after your fur babies, Monica is your gal!”
About: I was a boarding assistant for 2 years. In that time I have gained experience with many different breeds, all with different personalities. I have also been trained in giving medicine to dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I’m currently taking an asynchronous online class, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to check in on, or care for, your pet. I do have appointments every other week, but that won’t get in the way. Following instructions, especially having a checklist of things that need to be completed, is the best way for me to know the exact care your fluffy friend needs. I can work based on whatever schedule is given to me, as well as leaving room for changes if needed.
“Lauren did drop in visits for my three kitties while I was out of state and she really helped relieve the anxiety that can come with leaving your fur babies. She gave updates every day with pictures which made me smile every time. I was very happy to see that all the kitties felt comfortable enough to come out while she was there.”
“Mary did a wonderful job taking care of my cat. She followed my instructions well and did her best to make him comfortable. He is a finicky cat and not a fan of other people, but she let him get used to her in his own time. She provided thorough updates and lots of pictures, so I knew he was in good hands. Would 100% use her services again in the future.”
About: I have had pets all while growing up. I have had two bigger dogs and I have a cat at my parents house. I have help neighbors watch and walk there dogs when they are gone. I am currently working part time which allows me to have a lot of flexibility. This allows me to have more time to care for animals. I make sure to walk or play with them regularly! Always keeping an eye on them so make sure they’re safe and behaving. I also want them to be comfortable with me so making sure I introduce my self in mine or there home correctly.
About: I have had dogs/cats my whole life and love working with them! Experience in walking, pet sitting and check ins on pets. You should be able to step away without stress! Your paws are in good hands. :) I’m currently in my career don’t let that fool you! I am an early riser and a would love to be able to check in or walk your furry friend as early at 4am! Weekends and flexible! Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and trustworthy environment where every dog is treated like family. Whether we're out for a walk or relaxing at home, you'll have peace of mind knowing your pup is receiving plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I take the time to get to know each dog's unique personality and needs so they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away!
About: I’ve had and helped care for pets my entire life! From dogs and cats to guinea pigs and horses, I’ve always loved being around and caring for animals of all kinds. I’m familiar with the needs of cats and dogs of all ages and am dedicated to providing reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I just graduated from high school this past school year and will be commuting to school starting in September. I only have a few classes each weekday, so I should still be available to care for your pets around my schedule! I am also very flexible and should be able to meet the needs of almost any pet parent! In my experience, every home is run differently, and every pet sitting job is unique, so I always follow the pet parent’s schedule and instructions. I pay great attention to detail and am responsible with timelines for tasks.
About: Dogs have been my whole world since I was four years old, and I've been actively caring for them since I was around ten. Now at 25, with over 15 years of hands-on experience, I know what it means to love a pet like family, not just as a pet, but as a real member of your life. I'm a proud fur-parent to Boogie, a rescue pup I adopted at four months old. He's two now, and watching him grow has only deepened how much I care about the life every dog deserves. It's something I think about a lot: our pets are experiencing everything for the very first time, and that's worth honoring. I also volunteer as a temporary foster, which means I'm comfortable meeting animals exactly where they are, whether that's a nervous newcomer or a playful goofball who wants all the attention. I take every walk and drop-in seriously, because I know a mid-day break and a kind, familiar face can make a pet's whole day. My schedule is more flexible than it might look on paper. I work full-time in the office four days a week, typically wrapping up between 3:30 and 4, and I'm always happy to stop by before work, after work, or in between my jobs. I also work part-time some weekday evenings and weekends, but my hours shift week to week, so I'd rather just talk through what works for you and go from there. If you need someone reliable who's willing to figure it out, I'm your person. When you invite me into your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I'm tidy, mindful of your space, and will always leave things exactly as I found them. Your pet's routine matters too. I'll follow whatever instructions you leave, from feeding schedules to favorite toys to the walks they're used to. For walks, I keep a close eye on leash behavior and surroundings, and I'll never push a pet past their comfort zone. I know some dogs need a slow warm-up and others are ready to go the second the leash comes out, and I'm happy to meet them wherever they are that day. You can also expect regular updates while I'm with your pet. I'm happy to send a photo, a quick message, whatever gives you peace of mind while you're away. I know handing over a key and trusting someone with your animal is a big deal, and I don't take that lightly.
“Kelsie is a wonderful pet person. She is a good communicator and kept in touch with me right up until the days she started caring for my cat. I will make Kelsie my first contact when ever I need someone to help with my pet care.”
About: Im a pet owner myself with 2 kitties and a bully breed. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets including reptiles and birds as well as doing nail clippings with non aggressive pets. I taught my dog a few tricks like shake and spin. Overall very flexible with care on my days off. Thanks for looking! I currently work full-time 3 days a week, 12 hr shifts. Aside from that I’m free weekends to care for your babies while you take a vacation or a quick break! My pets are always supervised as they tend to be velcro babies. I take my pets out on a schedule as well as have a feeding schedule twice a day. Trips to the dog park are an option so long as safety is kept in mind, I tend to go when the park is less busy to avoid any potential fights. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds as they are family.
“I can’t say enough good things about Jade! She handled our 19 year old, multi-medicine kitty with such care and concern. Constant updates on her medicine acceptance, weird spots to lay, how much food and water she consumed (a constant issue with our old girl), learned her personality within a day or so. She handled a plumbing issue probably better than the plumber we’ve got to call tomorrow. 😜 She’s just the best. Thanks, Jade!”

About: I’ve lived with dogs or cats most of my adult life. I travel often so I understand the need to make your pet feel at home with someone who will love them the way you do.

“Samantha has been taking care of this little fur family in various forms for a couple years now. I always feel confident that she is making sure they are getting what is needed and all the snuggles. Thank you!”
“Samantha was great! She was able to give my cats medications and lots of pets while I was away. She also offered to water my plants and went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend Samantha as a sitter.”

Ann is amazing. She took care of our two cats while we were out of town. One of our cats had to have 2 different kinds of medications and Ann successfully managed it. She sent multiple pictures which we appreciated greatly! I highly recommend Ann to take care of your pets!
Christine’s passion for pets is perfectly demonstrated through the care she provides your pet(s). She’s very thorough & detailed oriented which makes the experience worry free. Also, she was willing to go above & beyond just pet care. We will definitively use her again if possible!

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.

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 .
