“Kim took such great care of our cats. She has great attention to detail and went above and beyond to make sure they had everything they needed. We will definitely be booking her again.”
“We only ever use Fallon when we go out of town. She is so great with our kitties and they always get so excited when she comes and plays with them. I also know my home is in good hands when she watches.”
“Zoe was amazing when it came to taking care of our boys - she sent us so many pictures, gave us multiple daily updates on them, and we came home to a clean house & happy boys!! Definitely will use Zoe again to watch our babies!!”
“Sierra is the cat whisperer! I was surprised that my cat, Silvermist, was comfortable to be around her! Silvermist tended to hide from any petsitters or visitors. Sierra was very kind to my 18 years old cat!! I would have her again in the future!!”
“Leah was incredibly understanding of our pet’s idiosyncrasies. Communication was great. She sent photos every day. We came home to a clean pet space and a happy cat. Well definitely call Leah first next time we need a pet sitter.”
About: I’m not doing this as a side hobby—I live this every day with my own pets. I understand behavior, energy levels, and how to keep animals calm, happy, and cared for. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be understood, respected, and spoiled (in the best way). Because I work from home, I’m around throughout the day and can easily build pet care into my daily routine. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to handle feedings, walks, and playtime consistently while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. I have a fenced in yard and my 3 dogs play well with others,I also have 2 cats but they stay in one part of the house and usually let the digs do thsir own thing.
“Morgan was awesome! It was obvious from first meeting that she has a special connection with cats. She was very responsive and we loved getting the daily updates with photos.”
“Rebecca is great with animals. She shows up professionally and with genuine care for her work. If you're in need of pet care, particularly if you have larger dogs, Rebecca will not disappoint. She went above and beyond. Thank you, Rebecca.”
About: What truly sets me apart is my deep experience with dogs of every temperament, especially those with special behavioral or emotional needs. Unlike sitters who only know "easy" dogs, I have spent my life caring for a wide spectrum of rescues, from fearful and anxious to hyperactive and aggressive personalities. I treat every dog as an individual, and I have a proven ability to connect, communicate, and build trust with all of them. I've successfully managed daily medication schedules and provided attentive care for senior pets and energetic puppies alike. My friends and family jokingly call me "The Dog Whisperer" because I bring a unique blend of patience, calm energy, and deep love to every interaction. This means that whether your pet is shy, a little reactive, or just needs constant attention, you can rest assured they are with a caregiver who understands them. Pet care is not a side job, it is part of my daily routine and a priority. I am a stay-at-home dad, so I can structure my day to ensure maximum availability and dedicated time with every dog. I have a large fenced yard and a four-year-old Basset Hound who loves to meet and play with new friends. I am also the father of two elementary-aged kids who will give your pet all the love they could ever hope for.
“Awesome and very accommodating! Reliable and friendly! I contacted her about caring after my cat when I got out of town weekly and it was no issue and she was able to care for them immediately! Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats for 6 to 10 years now, plus dogs belonging to family and friends along the way. I have my own cat named sheeba! I have a real soft spot for small pets too, puppies, rabbits, hamsters, cats and I know how to keep them calm, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I treat every pet like it’s my own. I’m a business owner and I’ll be starting school on August 24th, so my schedule shifts around a bit, just ask and I’ll let you know what works. Generally, I’m most available on weekends and Fridays, plus afternoons and evenings most other days. I always make sure your pet gets the time and attention they need, no matter how busy things get I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood, plus I'm stocked with cat supplies, a litter box, and grooming tools to keep your pet comfortable. Whether I'm watching your pet in your home or mine, I make sure they stick to their normal routine and feel safe the whole time. Your pet's comfort and safety always come first with me.

I don't have enough words to express how grateful I am to have Christine help us take care of Map when we were away. She gave Map so much love and spent time playing with Map so she didn't feel lonely at home. Christine is definitely our go-to sitter for Map whenever we need to be away ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Eliscia was amazing with our 4 cats. I would highly recommend. She went above and beyond what we asked her to do. The kitties loved her and she loved them! I suggest getting the whole hour so she can play with your cats or dogs. My wife and I will definitely rebook her again next vacation. I can’t recommend enough!
I had an excellent experience and would absolutely book again. My pets are naturally cautious around new people, so I was incredibly impressed by the patience, care, and understanding she showed them. One of my cats is usually the more social of the two, but even he typically takes several visits before he’s comfortable interacting with someone new. To my surprise, he was already coming out and interacting with her by the second day, which is much faster than normal for him. My other cat is much more cautious and prefers to stay hidden. Even so, she took the time to learn his habits and was able to locate him on the first day, which reassured me that he was doing well and adjusting safely while I was away. I appreciated that she respected his boundaries and allowed him the space to be himself rather than trying to force interaction. She was very communicative throughout my trip and provided thoughtful updates that gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that she took the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs rather than treating the visits as simple check-ins. She also took wonderful care of my fish, Marley. It was great to see him comfortable enough to come out and interact with her as well. That attention to detail showed me that she genuinely cared about all of my pets. Most importantly, I felt completely comfortable knowing my pets were in her care while I was away. She treated them with kindness, patience, and respect, and I could tell they felt safe with her. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future.

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 .

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 .
