“Cera was wonderful. She was very communicative and despite the cats hiding most of the time, she consistently searched for them to put me at ease. Would highly recommend her for any pet care need!”
About: I've had guinea pigs all my life, and I have taken care of my friends and families dogs and cats. Taking care of animals is a huge passion of mine, and I take it very seriously I have a lot of free time on my hands and would be available anytime of the week. If something does come up on my schedule I will let you know. I would prefer to take care of your animals in your own home and would be able to stay over or check in on them as much as you want.
“Anya was superb! She was dependable, diligent and considerate. She stayed for required time, and entertain them as well! She sent photos every day while there. I strongly recommend Anya for future cat sitting jobs. Thank you Anya for making us feel comfortable while in vacay!”
“Amber was super responsive and really helped us out over the holiday weekend. Our cat takes several medications and Amber was able to administer all of them for us. Would definitely book with her again 😊”
“Sam did great with my pets! She watched my dog for 6 days and he had a blast hanging out with her dog and kids. I know my cat loved having her stop by and feed him during that time. Sam is a very nice, reliable person.”
About: Hey! My name is Nate I have 2 dogs (a German shepherd and a pit bull) and I adore them! Would love to help you with your dogs too! Happy to watch any animal you have! I work 9am-5pm weekdays from home and am able to leave during the day if needed as well. My schedule can be pretty flexible so feel free to reach out! I am happy to come to your home to take care of your pet/pets, I love to play and spend time with animals. Really anything you need or would like me to do with/for them is typically no issue!
“What a lovely experience. From our initial meeting that gave us confidence, to the great communication throughout, we had peace of mind that our guy was being well cared for. The photographs and updates were so appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Clare.”
“Diana was very accommodating & was able to help me out at the last minute. She did very well with my two dogs & they seemed to be very comfortable with her. She followed my detailed instructions & didn't appear to have any problems with my sometimes problematic dog. I would definitely recommend Diana to those who need a caring, responsible pet sitter.”
“Andrew was a great sitter for our guinea pig Jasper. He’s very thoughtful, attentive and follows directions well. Having such a great sitter makes going away easier. We will book him in the future! He also took care of my herbs while we were away which was also much appreciated.”
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful with our dogs and treated them as her own. She was super caring and attentive and made sure they were well taken care of. Would absolutely recommend her for any of your Rover needs!”
“Great, responsive service! Is familiar with Uptown which is nice. Genuinely enjoyed spending time with my 2 cats and sent videos on every visit and stayed the entire time. Even came by on her lunch break when I made a scheduling time mistake. Will be booking again.”
“I have used Rover a few times and have had some issues in the past with sitters. Hailey however went above and beyond my expectations. She was so amazing with my kitty Sammi, she was great with communication and I loved getting pictures of my girl while I was away! Definitely would recommend her if you are looking for any sort of pet care! Was great not having to worry while I was away!”
“This was Melissa's second time taking care of Loki. Like last time, she was responsive with her communication, shared photos, and took wonderful care of our cat. When my husband and I suddenly realized that we'd make an error with the auto-feeder, Melissa was able to swoop in with another visit to make sure all was well.”
“Samantha is wonderful! One of the best sitters we have had… She took excellent care of our cat and went above and beyond. She also took some of the nicest photos of him each day!”
“Fernando took excellent care for my cat, Senko. He sent me daily pictures and even videos! Not a single problem and he was more than accommodating for my cat's needs! Highly recommended!”

I would have left 5 stars, however got off to a rocky start. Once the kinks were worked out she did a fabulous job. We have 3 kitties, granted 2 of them are very shy, by the end of the week, the 2 shy ones finally started coming out of hiding. I would definitely refer Clare as a sitter.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Meet & Greet .
