“Shelly did a fabulous job taking care of our cat. She came as scheduled, checked in with me each visit to let me know how our pet was doing and update us on anything needed. She offered to care for plants or get mail if we needed. Shelly was flexible and we are so appreciative of her willingness to add a check-in when we decided to extend our trip an extra day. We will definitely be reaching out to Shelly for our next trip!”
“Lacey did a wonderful job checking in on our cat! Lacey is very trustworthy and very kind. She had great communication and sent us pictures of our cat while we were away. She loves animals and I would definitely use her again to check on our cat!”
“So grateful I found Beth! Even on short notice, she suggested a Meet & Greet to make sure she understood all instructions, where items were placed, etc. for my cats' drop-in visits. Sent Rover Cards with updates and pictures. Even my cat who is timid of new people came out from hiding during the visits. Will definitely book again!”
“With some treats and patience Cindy was able to get our 9 year old very shy kitty to come out and spend time with her during drop in visits! Highly recommend her for anyone with a kitty. It gave me so much peace of mind to get photos of him and know someone was giving him love while we were gone.”
“Shelby was absolutely fantastic!!! She took amazing care of our two kittens and our home while we were away on vacation for the week.

Our babies were well cared for and we will absolutely be using her again!”

About: Hi! I have had animals all my life, from hamsters and fish to cats and dogs, I am an animal lover. If I was better at science I would have been a vet, but instead I just want to help you out and play, walk, or babysit your fur baby. I live near plenty of walkable places and would love a fluffy companion to walk with. I have had small to massive dogs in my home since age 5 so all sizes are welcome. I also love and have had cats and would be so happy to keep a kitty company as well. I am a remote worker and therefore working from home gives me a lot of freedom. Most of the time when I don’t travel you will find me laying by the pool on my computer or going for a walk on a call. I will have plenty of time to do so with a furry friend too. I care about your pets safety because I care about animals, so any specific requests can be accommodated if need be! I work remotely so I am able to spend quality time with your pet and be not only physically present but also offer a lot of undivided attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and protect them just the same. Every pet deserves love and attention that makes them feel safe and comfortable.
“Emma was amazing with my cat, Toast! She was communicative, reliable, and even stayed extra some nights to give him more cuddles and attention. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my home and pet, and I'd definitely recommend her to others.”
“Sherry took great care of our cats while we were out on vacation in Europe for two weeks. She sent lots of cute pictures and videos of them both in the messaging and the Rover Cards. Knowing our cats were in caring hands helped us enjoy our trip more.”
About: With 13 years of dedicated ownership and care for a German Shepherd, coupled with specialized expertise in senior dog care, I offer a unique blend of experience, compassion, and understanding that sets me apart as a dog sitter. Your furry companions are not just pets to me; they are cherished family members deserving of the utmost love, attention, and tailored care. Unfortunately, my dog died over a year ago, so helping others with their pets has helped me tremendously with the grieving process. Incorporating pet care seamlessly into my daily routine, I strike a balance between my part-time work commitments and online coursework towards becoming an English teacher. Despite a busy schedule, I ensure my furry companions receive ample attention and care. With structured walks, playtime, and cuddles interspersed throughout the day, I create moments of joy and companionship for them. Teaching English classes two nights a week adds rhythm to my schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time to both my professional pursuits and the well-being of my beloved pets. I live alone in my apartment, where I provide attentive care to dogs. In a pet-friendly complex equipped with ample walking paths and grassy areas, I ensure that each dog's needs are met with regular walks, playtime, and affection. With no roommates or other pets, I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment where dogs can thrive and feel at home.
“Tia was great with my puppy. She let her out to potty and played with her. I felt very at ease knowing my puppy was well cared for with Tia. I love the pictures she sent of my puppy. I will definitely be using Tia again. Highly recommended her.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rome
We couldn't be happier that Audrey took care of Gary and Zoya during our 8-day vacation. Especially our girl Zoya, who's always scared of having other people in the house. Audrey won her trust with love and patience, and the photos she sent spoke volumes! Seeing Zoya so comfortable around her gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Recommended!! Will book 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.

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 .
