“Jessica is GREAT!!! My cats are a little spicy when it comes to strangers. She was so patient and kind. One of them ended up on her lap giving her cuddles within just a few days! She was also very attentive when one of them threw up, she contacted me immediately. She also sent sooo many picture updates and it made me feel at ease knowing my furr babies had an expert sitter watching out for them. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing they were safe and sound.”
“She was wonderful with my four cats and handled an unexpected problem with the key without missing a beat. I’ve only lived here for four months, so it was especially reassuring to have someone so reliable and capable taking care of them. I’d definitely book her again.”
“Taysha is a total animal lover and is so incredibly thoughtful when she drops in on my kitties, who have to be pilled twice a day. I love having her as my local sitter! Thank you Taysha!!”
“Our first experience with Rover and it could not have gone any better! Aubrey was the perfect fit for us as our anxiety was a bit high with leaving our cat alone for an extended period of time. We were so comfortable with our experience with Aubrey that we are already planning another trip. THANK YOU!!”
About: I have had three large breed dogs and loved them like human children! They have all passed away now. We are use to hair and poop so big dogs aren't a problem! I have experience walking, washing and brushing them, cleaning teeth, etc. We would be a fun home for your pet while your away! We have 2 fenced yards where your pets can play and enjoy being outside. We towel them off at the door if it is raining or snowing when they go out. Boarders pups must be good with children as we have kids in the house. We are excited to play with your pup while you are away! We prefer not to kennel them and since we work from home that isn't really a need to ever. We let house the fur babies just roam the house with us! They are very good foreman's keeping us on task! We will feed (owner provided) and play with them and let them out to play and potty. We have outdoor beds for them to lay on while they play outside when they want to. They will be family! We can take them for walks (included in the daycare fee, not charged extra).
About: I have had dog/dogs my whole life and have looked after them in every stage from puppies to seniors. I would love to look after your loved ones! I'm currently working part-time and have plenty of time to care for your furry family members! I am flexible to do part time or full time care. I will make sure your animals are safe and respect your boundaries in keeping your animals routines as consistent to your own schedule as possible!
“Absolutely thrilled with the care from Jayd and Ecko. From the moment I contacted them, they were professional and friendly. They took the time to understand our cat's unique personalities, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which made me feel connected to my furry friend. They went above and beyond, ensuring the cats were not just fed and cared for but also played with and loved. When we returned, the cats were happy and relaxed, which is the best testament to their care. I highly recommend Jayd and Ecko to any pet owner looking for reliable and compassionate care for their cats. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our fur babies!”
About: Having a hugely flexible schedule and an affection for pets has made me the go-to sitter for a large group of friends and acquaintances for the past several years, with intermittent experience before that. I’m a freelance filmmaker and photographer and my schedule is highly flexible with lots of time I can happily devote to spending with your dog/s and/or cat/s. I don’t have any special certifications but I’ve watched dogs of varying ages and breeds, with simple and complicated needs. Happy to consider unique circumstances, but my main experience is in walking and spending time with dogs and cats.
“Natasha was great! She made sure our puppy was taken care of and gave it time to play with toys. No accidents when we came home! She responded within a few hours of my initial request, which worked perfectly for us.”
“Matthew did a good job with my cattle dog and Aussie. They can be a bit much for some people but he worked with them well. I hired him for 3 visits a day for 4 days. He kept in good communication.”
“Thanks Nikki! I felt super comfortable leaving my kitty Bear in Nikki’s care, as well as my house key. She played with her and gave her pets in addition to the basics like making sure her food bowl was full. Nikki is also so nice!!! Thank you!!”
“Kerry was great with Simba and Mom! He was caring and conscientious about all aspects of their care. He kept me informed through photos and text messages after every visit.”
“Laura was a fantastic sitter for our cat and bunny. She dealt with my over communication and calmed my nerves about leaving the pets by returning that communication back to me throughout my trip. I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Claudia has been the best cat sitter and is our go-to! She sends us so many pictures and plays with the kitties each visit. Our house is always nice to come home to, she’s the best!”
About: I have always had pets in my life. I had made sure they were properly fed in the right amount at the right times and always had a fresh bowl of water. They never go without love as well as making sure they have their space to go and do their thing. Pets will always be taken care of with me and made sure they go home happy and healthy. :) I am currently unemployed. This gives me the chance to give your furr babies even more of my full attention, care, and cuddles to your animals. If taken care of at my house, I treat them the same as if they were at your house. I make sure they are comfortable.

Emma was awesome at taking care of my cats while I was on a trip! We arranged a meet up beforehand and I could tell from the get go she loves this job, she irradiates so much love for pets, even my cats were so calm around her💜. She sent me lots of pictures of my babies too! When I got home, it was like I never left. My cats seemed happy and healthy. I would re-book in a heartbeat!
Aubrey was an amazing sitter. I contacted her with a last minute request to take care of my cat for a week, and she responded immediately. This was the longest I'd been away from my clingy kitty, but Aubrey was so nice and accommodating that I rested easy knowing Meatball was in great hands. Loved getting funny updates with cute photos/videos each visit. I'll definitely 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.
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 .
