“Melissa is awesome! She went above and beyond in making sure my cats were cared for and loved. Not only that but she also cleaned up their fountain and dishes (my cat is a weirdly messy eater). I’m definitely booking her again!”
“Karinna is amazing. My cats love her. She is easy to get a hold of and cares very much about the animals and making sure they have what they need. This is the second time I have booked with her and I plan on using her for the future.”
About: I've had pets in my world my whole life. I grew up with dogs, cats and many small critters. Animal care is like second nature to me! My kids grew up in a one or two dog household, which I raised and trained as puppies and cared for during their senior years. Currently I am the proud owner of Finnley, my 4 year old black Labrador Retriever. I've raised and trained her since she was eight weeks old. Through consistent positive training, she has mastered basic commands and has become an active well-behaved companion. Because of my daily routine of walking and hiking at least 2 miles every day, I have the stamina and enthusiasm to give energetic dogs the quality exercise and playtime they need. In addition to dogs, I also have deep personal experience with cats. I lovingly cared for a sweet feline, Sadie from a kitten through her senior years- she lived to the ripe age of 13. Whether you have an energetic pup who needs a brisk walk or an independent cat who needs gentle attention or food routines maintained, I understand how to read different pet personalities. I am currently working part-time and have plenty of time to care for your pet. I can provide reliable daily walks or drop-in services to keep your pet(s) happy. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet(s) in someone else's hands. I will follow feeding, walking, and household instructions to the letter, double check all doors and gates and never take unnecessary risks on walks. I will treat every animal in my care like a member of my own family.
About: I have cared for my own dog and family members dogs for several years. I also am an approved foster for Caribbean Canine Connection. I have experience with all ages from puppies to senior dogs with special medical requirements. My own dog, Luke, is very dog friendly as we always have fosters in & out of the home. I work from home M-F so there is almost always somebody home with your pet. My schedule is flexible to accommodate frequent potty breaks. On weekends, my husband and I like to take whatever dogs are in our home on a short, or long hike depending on the tolerance of the animal. Pets are family! I will accomodate any reasonable request. Unless you ask otherwise, all pets will be allowed on furniture. We have baby gates up to separate the dogs in the home if needed..if your dog is crate trained, we have a crate set up in the family room. If your dog is not used to the crate (but is housebroken) they will be allowed to free roam the kitchen/living room at night. All dogs will be fed separately!
About: I grew up surrounded by animals and have been taking care of cats and dogs my whole life! I have a tuxedo cat of my own that I rescued from the Humane Society! I will make sure your pet is given tons of love. I’m a grad student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! I’ll have to check my availability and class schedule, but I always need time to be away from my computer and hang with your pets! I’m very careful of respecting other peoples’ spaces and homes. I’ll make sure everything looks exactly how you left it, and your pet is taken care of!
“Molly came for a meet and greet before her visit. My girls loved her! When she checked in she send me updates and pics...gave me complete peace of mind. I would definitely use Molly again?”
“Renata was incredible with our 3 month old cat. She sent pictures and videos daily and was very pleasant. It was clear she really cared and made us feel very comfortable. We'll absolutely using her services again!”
About: I've taken care of every kind of animal. Dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters. I've also administered medication of many kinds and I am certified in Domestic cat + dog first Aid and CPR. All animals deserve love and care no matter how big or small! I am currently working part-time during the weekdays and on weekends in the late evening. My weekend available will change to be fully available after October. Either way, your pets are my first priority! Not all of my animals get along- I have an intricate schedule of alternating my cats and dog to make sure there are no fights or stressing factors. But there is always playtime for all the animals!
“Thank you so much for being patient w our Lily, Heather! We will definitely book again. You went above and beyond with communication and we couldn’t have asked for a better visit!”
About: I grew up in a house that usually had 4 to 15 pups. My mom worked with a rescue so from a young age I have had experience working with all types of dogs. I have watched my family members dogs and currently have a new puppy at home who I help train. I work from home during the week and I have plenty of flexibility and time to commit to your pet! We will enjoy walks and playtime, and of course cuddles. As a care taker of your pet at your home I am ready and able to take precautions or crate your dog if that is something you do. I am a very reliable and trustworthy person and will do my best to love and take care of your pup as much as I would mine.
“Elizabeth was great!! It was our first time using her services and we were very pleased. She texted us every day to let us know how our kitties were doing. We would definitely use her services again.”

Lauren did a wonderful job taking care of our cat! She kept us updated with frequent photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our cat was not only well-fed but also given lots of love, attention, and care. We truly appreciate everything Lauren did and are so grateful for the excellent care she provided. We would absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Lauren!

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 .
