“Kristen is truly the best! She accepted my last-minute request, came over beforehand to take detailed notes, and gave my sweet old cat so much love and cuddles over the 3 days. Buckley is 19, so leaving her is hard—and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in Kristins care. She was thoughtful, caring, and wonderful. Highly recommend! ❤️”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets. I’m a chiropractic student at Parker University and am responsible, patient, and attentive. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m a full-time student at Parker University, usually finished with classes by 4 PM. I’m available most weekends and have some weekday availability, including Mondays when I only have one morning class. I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine! I treat every pet with patience, care, and attention. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, keep pets safe and comfortable, and make sure they get plenty of playtime, attention, and love. I’ll also keep your home clean and treat it with the same respect I would my own.
“Jordan was absolutely amazing with our cats! We were away for a few days, and she made us feel completely comfortable knowing they were being well cared for. She was attentive, reliable, caring, and spent quality time with them, which was especially important to us because we didn’t want them to feel lonely while we were gone. We could tell that she genuinely cared about them and treated them with a lot of affection and patience. Everything went smoothly, and we came home very happy with the experience. We would absolutely book Jordan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Katherine was great with my kitten. This was my first time leaving him with someone and I was a little worried, but she gave me pictures and videos right away and kept me updated every day. He was very happy and loved being with her.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for family members, since I was in high school. I am very patient and respectful of your pet’s boundaries. I can do all of the basics for pet care, such as feeding, walking and playtime. I am also comfortable with giving pet’s their medication. I’m a college student looking for a summer job, to help pay for my tuition and expenses! This will be a great stress reducer. I am very patient and respectful of an animals boundaries. Sometimes, pets don’t want to be bothered when meeting new people, and that’s fine!
About: Proud cat mom of two for over 12 years! 🐱 I have experience caring for senior cats and a special-needs kitty, so I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, with plenty of photo updates along the way! I work full-time, but I have plenty of availability after work and on weekends for drop-in visits! I’m happy to stop by to feed your pets, clean litter boxes, play with them, and make sure they’re happy and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! During drop-in visits, I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure your furry friend has fresh food, water, and a clean environment. I’ll always double-check doors and locks before so leaving, respect your home, and send photos and updates after each visit. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I’ll give them attention or space depending on their needs.
“Amazing sitter! Took my request last minute and became very close with my rather shy cat in a short time. I was so worried this was my first time getting a sitter but it went super smoothly my kittie was super happy and loved and Mackenzi was comfortable with me checking in periodically on my cat cam which made me feel much more safe we also met beforehand which brought some comfort as well. Will 100% use her as my only sitter in the future. :)”
“Ashley was so great with my special needs cat, Mitsuri! She gave me updates with pictures and I could see from the photos that my Mitsuri was comfortable with her. It definitely set my mind at ease as I had never left her with anyone before. Will definitely use Ashley again if I need care for Mitsuri in the future!”
“Haylee was very responsive and attentive through the whole weekend. She went the extra mile to meet with us beforehand, and made the complex parking/security of our apartment building look easy. She also managed to take good care of our cats (even with one of them hissing at her the whole time). they’re not easy to feed, but it was no problem for haylee. highly recommend!”
About: Dogs require more energy in comparison to other animals. I have taken care of and trained puppies to adults. I am specialized in feeding, grooming, bathing, and giving medications to dogs! I’m currently working a part-time job which leaves lots of room for animal care! I enjoy surrounding myself with loving animals and am always available to commute! As I will only be able to care for pets in clients’ home's, I feel as though respecting the clients requests and boundaries are the most important. Communication and building a relationship is the key to creating a loveable sitter for your pets!
“We recently went on a three-day international trip and needed someone truly trustworthy to look after our cat. We were fortunate enough to find Vicki, and I can confidently say she exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, professional, and thoughtful. She asked the right questions, paid attention to every detail, and instantly gave us peace of mind. While we were away, Vicki cared for our cat with a level of dedication and kindness that is rare to find. She didn’t just “check in” on him—she genuinely spent time with him, comforted him, played with him, and made sure he felt safe and loved in our absence. Her updates were consistent, detailed, and incredibly reassuring. Each photo and message reflected how much she truly cares about animals. When we came back home, we could immediately see the difference. Our cat was calm, happy, and completely relaxed—almost as if we had never left. In fact, over the past few days, we can tell he genuinely misses Vicki and keeps looking toward the door, waiting for her to walk in again. It’s rare for him to bond with someone new so quickly, and that alone says everything about the level of comfort and trust she created. To be honest, we feel like we’ve found a new member of our family in Vicki. Her kindness, reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional caregiver. Knowing that our cat was in such capable and loving hands allowed us to enjoy our trip without worry. I would recommend Vicki to anyone on Rover who wants true peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone responsible, compassionate, and truly devoted to the well-being of your pet, Vicki is absolutely the person you want. We are so grateful for her and will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I have grown up helping care for a variety of different animals, at different stages of life. I am also capable of administering prescription medications if needed, per experience I have taken care of dogs with special needs. There are so many stresses to tend to in a day, your pet getting proper care should not be one of them. In addition to providing pet care, I am a recently graduated art student who mainly works from home! If I am needed to stay overnight, I should be okay to do any of my freelance work so long as there is a stable internet connection :) I ensure that any and all instructions are followed to a T. I do my best to ensure that my presence in a clients home is neat, respectful, and intentional.
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life. We currently have two small dogs and two cats of our own and they all get along after a few sniffs and barks. I wish I could adopt them all, so until then I will just keep dog and cat sitting as much as I can! I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to watch, feed, play, and walk your pet once or twice a day (whichever you prefer). We love fur babies and enjoy having them around! We have a fenced yard that is very safe for them to run around and play in. When we go on walks around the neighborhood, I will ensure they are on a leash and kept safe. We also have a storm door that gives extra security in case your pup likes to run to the front door.
“Zach has been caring for our cat several times now, and is by far our favorite sitter for our girl. He is kind and caring, which can really be seen in his thoughtful rover report cards. This is the kind of person you want caring for your pets, not just someone checking a box to put food down and be out the door.”
About: Family and friends always come to me to dog sit. I have taken care of senior dogs to puppy’s and every age and size between. Currently work as a professional petsitter. I am around pets all day and would love to add more to my schedule. Pets are my passion! When going into your home my goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible. After, making sure the pet is let out, has water, and any other needs taken care of.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Richardson
Alex has been amazing! We've had her check in on our cats on multiple occasions and most recently while we were gone abroad. She made sure to come in every day that we had scheduled. She sent us pictures and updates of our fur babies which were detailed. 10/10 would recommend!
Erin did an amazing job with my cats. She truly understands their language, and will make them feel comfortable plus win them over day one! My cats are different every day, and Erin was able make them feel comfortable and happy whether that meant giving pets, playing with them, entertaining them while they watched (lol), or just simply letting them have their space. Her daily write ups are very detailed, fun to read, and she provides amazing pictures in them. Your pets will be well taken care of. Will book again!
Kristen did a wonderful job caring for my chihuahua, bulldog, and kitty while I was gone. She kept in close communication with me and sent me photos during each visit. She even washed their dirty dishes and took out the trash because it was full! My pets received lots of loving care and attention during my absence. I highly recommend Kristen and plan to have her care for my pets again!
I can’t say enough good things about our cat walker, Mia! She has been absolutely amazing with my two ragdoll boys, Loki and Thor. Not only does she take them on their walks, but she also did drop-in visits while I was out of town—and I had complete peace of mind the entire time. What really sets her apart is how interactive and engaged she is with them. She doesn’t just show up and go through the motions—she truly spends quality time encouraging them to explore, play, and of course, get plenty of cuddles. It’s so clear she genuinely loves what she does, and even more importantly, she truly loves my boys. Loki and Thor adore her. They literally cry at the door when they know she’s coming, which says everything. Seeing how excited they get and how comfortable they are with her makes it an easy decision every time—I’ve already booked her multiple times and will continue to do so. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Mia is the one. She goes above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
This is our third time booking with Jasi and yet again, she was exceptional! I had miscalculated my days during booking and needed more visits, Jasi did not hesitate to jump in and cover while we were away. As always, she was thorough, loving to our kitties and assured me they were well taken care of while we were away! We will absolutely book with her again!

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.

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 .
