“Melissa is hands down my favorite sitter! Always so sweet to my babies and even went above and beyond to clean up after them when they knocked over a pot that broke. She's the best!”
“Super communicative and so easy to work with! Went above and beyond for my old lady baby. As long as he’s available, Cameron is the only one I’d book for future visits.”
“Amy was terrific with our cat Pesto, great pics which were sent everyday, was communicative, Pesto seemed relaxed especially during his grooming sessions. Would certainly use her services in the future.”
“Katie is the BOMB! We needed to find someone SUPER last minute to care for our 2 kitties for almost a whole week. I didn't even have time to meet her in person before leaving for the trip - no time! Plus, we had never hired someone from Rover before. Katie made us feel so safe leaving our fur babies with her. She replied right away, did everything we asked of her, and delivered top-notch service throughout. She overdelivered and was overall just amazing. NOT TO MENTION that our flight was delayed by a day on our way back, and Katie was able to come another day so our pets were cared for. She saved the day yet again! Katie's the best, the end.”
“Ciarra was excellent with my kitties. Even my shy boy was coming out within the first couple of days, and by the end of the week, he was full on playing. She has a kind energy that let them know they were safe!”
About: I’ve been watching after pets for friends and family since I a teenager. My neighbors in my hometown loved their pets, and always knew to call me to look after them when they went away on vacation. I’ve looked after various different sizes and types of dogs and cats. From a Great Pyrenees to Yorkies. I have had the honor of looking after my ESA and best cat, Goose. I work at a local cafe that is dog friendly. I absolutely love meeting people’s pets everyday! I currently work as a barista in the morning and a food runner at night. I have time between shifts to check up/walk pets. I have two dedicated days off from both of my jobs that make me completely available for pet care. I get my schedule every week for both my jobs, so I’m pretty aware of my availability ahead of time. I know social pets act out in a home when they haven’t seen their people for hours on end. I know it’s important to give them space to get their energy out daily to avoid messes and destructive behaviors to the home.
“I can’t recommend Emma enough! She is extremely trustworthy, kind, and great at communicating. An emergency happened while I was away, and she rushed over immediately to handle it. She went above and beyond to make sure my cats were safe and kept me informed the entire time. Your pets will be in good hands with her! :)”
About: I grew up in a family with 6 or more animals all the time. Life would be so boring without animals! I also grew up on a farm with horses, donkeys, and chickens. I love all animals and would love to meet yours! I work a 9-5 but I make sure to dedicate lots of time for my animals (and yours!) I’m flexible with my time as well. I live right next to Forsyth park and a square downtown. I have lots of areas to let yours and my animals roam and get some outside time!
About: I’ve had dogs, cats and rabbits since I was born. I love all. I am super active and love walking/running & am good which is perfect for pups who need out while their owner is at work/away. I also enjoy playing with cats and giving them all the love they need. I work remote and have a flexible schedule. I am walking distance of most places downtown Savannah and have a car for homes further away. I’ll care for your pet as if it’s my own. When I’m away I leave a laundry list of specific needs for my pet so no list is too crazy
“After years of haphazard cat sitting services provided by friends and neighbors and the odd hand here and there, all pass/ fail and hit or miss, we found Rachel here on Rover - which itself is a lovely platform of structure from which to receive and monitor the services provided for your pets once you're off and out-of-pocket - and she has proven to be the absolute ideal definition of what one would want in their pet care services while they are away. Rachel provided timely, conscientious, and intuitive service backed by the check-in, check out process that Rover employs, sending pictures of each animal every day for proof of life lol and to simply see your pets on a regular basis while you're gone. Great communication, HIGHLY RECOMMEND her for these very same reasons and would and will definitely be looking to her for these necessities in the future. Thank you Rachel, you are a reliable diamond in the rough and a pleasure to work with; very straightforward, well spoken, and thorough. For once it was nice to return from being away and not immediately have to police up the house and set everything to rights again, Rachel kept everything in order so well that walking in the door felt like I'd never left, it was that solid how she handled things. A+++++++”
“Jana is absolutely wonderful. We have three cats and one is a scaredy cat. Jana made sure to give all three lots of attention during her stop ins. She is wonderful at communicating and documenting her visit to give us peace while we are away. Thank you!”
“Sophia was wonderful! At the meet and greet, my pups immediately adored her. She did three drop-ins for us. Great communication, loving care, and lots of peace of mind. Very responsible, will definitely use again!”
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I started pet sitting at ten years old and absolutely fell in love with providing quality care to other's fur-babies! I have extensive experience in petsitting cats and dogs of all sizes and ages from puppies/kittens to seniors. I have experience with administering medications, as well as experience with dogs with disabilities who just need a little extra TLC! I adore caring for these babies whether it be through walking, playing, or just getting in some snuggles! I am currently a college student with class only on Mondays and Wednesdays, so I have plenty of time during the week and weekend to provide care! I like to start my mornings early, but I can also be a night owl, so I am very flexible with time and am happy to help when I am needed. Although I am in college and cannot provide care in my home, I am more than happy to come over and care for the pets in a clients home! I am fully aware of the fact a new visitor can be nerve wracking or stressful for some pets, so I always take it slow and make sure that your baby is 100% comfortable. All pets are different and some take more time to warm up than others, so I am very patient and perfectly happy to meet your pet where they are. :)

About: I grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes and in my adult life have lived with two adorable kitties for years now. I look forward to giving your furry children plenty of love, attention, and exercise - whatever’s needed! Pet care fits into my daily afternoon schedule because of the flexibility my job provides.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgewood
Alexandra is very communicative and follows directions well. When an issue came up she informed me immediately and did what she could to address it. I appreciated her honesty and how she kept me in the loop. She cares so much about taking care of our girls to the best of her ability.
Absolutely amazing pet sitter! 🥰 My dog is very shy and she became comfortable with her so quickly! She was incredibly attentive, sent me the sweetest pictures, and took amazing care of both my dog and cat. They were both so happy and loved! 💕 I would 100% book with her again!
Once again, Madelynn exceeds my expectations! She makes one of the most stressful things (leaving my babies alone) feel so much easier & goes above & beyond to ensure their wellbeing & comfort. You can really tell she cares about all pets are they are her own, & for that i am so grateful!
I can’t recommend Emma enough! She is extremely trustworthy, kind, and great at communicating. An emergency happened while I was away, and she rushed over immediately to handle it. She went above and beyond to make sure my cats were safe and kept me informed the entire time. Your pets will be in good hands with her! :)

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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
