“Katie is fantastic! I have never left my 13 year old Persian cat, who is very high maintenance with a lot of special medical issues. I even cried the day I left on vacation for 6 days 😂 Katie sent pics of Chloe and answered every single message I sent with details when asked. I left copious pages of directions for her and she followed them to a tee. This included many different kinds of medicines and strict food schedule. Thank you so much Katie for taking such good care of my baby!!”
“Christine was very professional and our cats were happy to have her there to feed and play with them. :) She was prompt with her visits to our kitties and straight forward with the one time she would be late.”
“Per usual Shauni and Connor were amazing. They took very good care of our kitties and I did not have to worry at all about them when we were gone. I always go back to them because they are reliable and so kind.”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals especially Dogs and Cats. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including providing daily exercise, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’m available part-time on weekdays after 4 PM and have flexible availability anytime on weekends. I enjoy spending time caring for and keeping pets happy and comfortable while their families are away. I care for pets in their home by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh food and water, walks and playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I also make sure their home is left clean and secure so both you and your fur baby can feel comfortable while you’re away. 🐾❤️

About: I grew up with, and have cared for dogs for most of my life. I have taken care of family members and friends dogs, some long-term, throughout my adult life. I’m very gentle natured and meet dogs where they are at. My job is to make them feel comfortable and cared for and all of the dogs I have cared for have had such different needs and personalities! I’m very keen on reading their signals, and have dealt with timid/older dogs in the past, and helped them come out of their shells. I currently work part time as a manager at Somersworth Storage, on Thursday’s Friday’s (9am-5pm and every other Saturday until (9am-1pm). I’m available Monday-Wednesday, however I would be available some Saturdays as well. I do not currently have any pets, and would care for an animal based off of their environment, and if they have a fenced in yard or require leash walks around the neighborhood.

“Marion was an absolute delight, our cat sage enjoyed her company very much and also got comfortable with her super fast. She gave us timely updates and was wonderful to interact with!”
“Amanda is a sweet and reliable sitter. Follows all the instructions you may need for your pet. This is the first time we’ve ever had her sit for our very skittish and shy cat and she was perfect. We definitely recommend her to others and will call her the next time we go out of town. Thanks, Amanda!”
“Paul was an excellent sitter. He made sure George, my cat, was happy, comfortable, and enjoying himself. Throughout his stay, Paul kept us well-informed with regular updates and was always quick to respond. The best part was the photos of George throughout the day, which were a great way to stay updated. I would highly recommend Paul as a sitter—I can’t stress it enough. He was truly great!”

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 .
