“Crista was absolutely amazing with my kitten Stormi. She kept me updated and made sure my baby was comfortable. I greatly appreciate everything her and her family provided. I highly recommend Crista.”
About: I cared for my staffy mix, Millie, for nine wonderful years, learning her needs, moods, and quirks along the way. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to keep dogs happy, comfortable, and loved — care I'm ready to bring to your dog. I am currently between jobs, but normally work from home. I am quite flexible in when I can provide pet care. Mornings, midday, or night care would be no issue. I have two cats myself, and keep a tidy home for them. I have a large, unfenced backyard, but has natural barriers that keep things very private.
“Kari did a fantastic job checking up on my two cats while I was out of the country. She even took pics which I know is not an easy task with my cats…they’re either elusive or constantly moving. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Kari for her services again in the future.”
“Anna is amazing. I frequently have to travel for work and may be gone for up to 21 days at a time. The peace of mind that Anna brings me while taking care of my dear cat can’t be described. My cat is very social. She loves getting affection and she really loves playtime. Anna was so kind and took the time to give my cat what she needs. She sent me updates and also included pictures which just brought me a moment of joy everyday. I can’t recommend Anna enough. If you are looking for someone who will really take the time to give your pet what they need when you can’t be there, Anna is your girl.”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for about 7 years and have a lot of experience working with cats and dogs. I have mostly have experience with cat sitting, but have some experience with small to medium size dogs. I am comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, walking or outside time for dogs, and spending quality time with each animal I sit for. I am currently only working part time so I have flexibility to spend more time with your pets! While I am not able to stay overnight every single night , I can make frequent visits if needed and will prioritize the time schedule set for your pets to keep them on their routine! I want to make your pets as comfortable as possible while you are away and truly believe that keeping pets in their home environment helps them adapt to temporary changes. I do my best to gain trust with new animals through slow and gentle movements and tone of voice, and I am patient in letting your pets warm up to me.
“Hailee is so great with our two kittles! She is communicative and responsible, and our cats always look forward to seeing her. Plus, she sends great photos and descriptions each visit. Will always trust her to take care of them while we are away!”
“I have a cat with several separation anxiety to the point that he gets UTI's every time my husband and I try to take a vacation. Needless to say this has hindered our abilities to go on trips and when we do I'm too busy worried about my cat to relax. This was not the case with Wanda. She was wonderful with our cat and made sure that she knew where his toys, litter, and food were during a meet and greet. He seemed to love her right away, looking up at her and wanting pets, which is a good sign! When we left the house I new from her first text that he was in good hands and when we got home she had left everything in such good condition that you almost wouldn't know she had stayed here. Long story short, I finally feel like maybe we can go on some vacations now that we have access to an amazing pet sitter like Wanda.”
“Another awesome set of visits with our boys! They were in great moods when we returned home and were clearly well taken care of. I appreciated all of the communication and photos.”
“Was gone for 6 days and Sarah took great care of my kitties, going above and beyond. She sent lots of pictures and updates. Will definitely rebook in the future. Thank you again!”
“She was always on time and easy to communicate with. Great with my feline and left in-app notes to let me know how the visit went if there were any issues/concerns. Def recommend to others!”
About: Whenever I get asked if I would choose cats or dogs I always say, it depends on the personality! I love all animals and getting to know their quirks and what makes them unique! Just like their personality I understand care specific to their needs are important. I’ve grown up taking care of various neighbors’ animals and loving the experience of taking animals on walks, feedings, baths, deep clean of their home, and just simply playing with them. I start graduate school in January but am pretty flexible at the moment! Sunday through Thursday at any time as long as messaged at least the day before! I have my own little kitty named Jasper! I follow directions to a T and just love on animals. - Walks - Feedings - Scratched and pets - Play time - Mental stimulation
About: I have 8 cats of my own, so I'm very experienced with daily cat care—bathing, nail trims, and administering oral medication are all part of my routine. I've also assisted family members with spay/neuter procedures and post-surgery recovery for their cats. I'm comfortable with all personalities, from shy to spirited, and I'm attentive to each cat's individual needs. I follow instructions carefully and always keep owners updated with photos and messages. I love kitty cats and I can assure you that I will love yours just the same! I work full-time from 8 AM to 4 PM, but I'm completely free after that. I'm available for pet care every single day—evenings, weekends, and holidays included. I also offer boarding 7 days a week, so your cat can stay with me any time. My place is cat-friendly and I'm home every night to give them full attention. Safety is my top priority. My home is cat-proofed—no exposed cords, toxic plants, or small objects they could swallow. All my own cats are fully vaccinated and fixed, and I keep a clean, calm space with separate areas if a cat needs quiet time or slow introductions. I'm trained in administering oral medication and know the signs of stress or illness to watch for. I follow your instructions exactly and keep you updated regularly so you're never left wondering. I treat every cat like family—yours will get love, attention, and a safe place to relax while you're away.
“Presley and I had a bit of a hiccup to start so I was unsure how things would go this first time. Well, let assure you I had no need to worry, as she has proven to be a superior pet care provider. In the many years I have been using Rover.com to identify pet sitters, I have never known anyone to write up such informative, upbeat, thorough daily reports. These missives were a delight to receive. As a result, I always felt confident my Ali was being well cared for. Thank you, Presley!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, and I’ve always loved having animals around. I’ve had four cats and two dogs at the same time, so I’m very comfortable handling multiple pets and all the chaos that can come with them! I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love while sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m also happy to send photo updates if you’d like them! I know how reassuring it is to be away and know that your pets are being well taken care of. I’m currently a college student, so I have plenty of flexibility to fit potty breaks, feedings, and daily walks into my schedule. I’m available in the mornings, midday, and evenings. I’m also local to Chattanooga, so I’m here year-round and available throughout the school year. I do my best to treat every pet with the same care and love that I give my own. I like to meet with you and your pet(s) beforehand so we can get to know each other and they can remember me when I come back. I’m happy to keep their normal routine as much as possible, whether that means playtime, chill time, potty breaks, or feeding visits. I want your pets to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away, and I want you to feel safe and confident knowing they’re in good hands.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgeside
Bonnie was fabulous with our cat Rory. We had a very long extended trip planned before Rory jouned our family and we were nervous leaving him. She was so sweet to play with him and keep us updated all the way. Rory has daily medication and she was 100 percent dependable. I know Rory will miss her daily visits. She is a great pet sitter!
We are so thankful to Abby for taking care of Daisy aka Kitoni. Abby was communicative and always there when she said she would be. She has helped us in the past and is a big reason we were able to take our family trip this year. Also she will spoil your pet (in a good way)!
Sarah was an amazing pet sitter! She took wonderful care of my dogs and cats and treated them like her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and reliable hands. I came home to very happy pets and would absolutely trust her to watch them again. Highly recommend!
She was awesome! We needed someone super last minute to help check on our babies during a trip we were taking like 4 days from looking in rover. She sent us pictures and even took cute polaroids of the cats and left them for us to see. We loved having her! Thank you 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.
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. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
