“Marysol is so awesome with my timid cats! She is very considerate and I can tell my cats (especially JouJou) feel relaxed and comfortable around her”
“Meg was amazing! She stepped in last minute, was responsive and reliable, and clearly cares about the dogs. She asked great questions, sent updates and videos during her visits, and gave me total peace of mind. I’ll definitely book her again.”
“Lindsey has watched my two kitties twice and she’s so great. Amazing communication, she’s thoughtful, and truly cares about the cat’s wellbeing! I’d highly recommend her and hope she continues to work on Rover for a long time so my kitties get such great care any time I go away. Thanks Lindsey!”
“Jadeth was such a wonderful sitter for our cat George over the Christmas holiday! She was prompt, thorough in her write-ups, and sent tons of photos and videos that helped give us peace of mind while we were away. She took time to play with George and keep him active, and he seemed to warm to her quickly. It was evident in her visit summaries how much Jadeth enjoyed her time with our boy, which was a huge comfort for us. We'll definitely be reaching out to Jadeth again!”
“Val was super nice and communicative! We loved reading the updates and seeing all the pictures. It’s always hard leaving the cats, but she made us feel like they were safe and cared for.”
About: I am experience with caring for several types of dogs and cats in size and breed. I have cared for multiple dogs at the same time and meeting their needs at any age. My greatest strength is my patience and my willingness to communicate with your pets to ensure a working relationship that is based on love and care. I work remotely at home, and I am happy to take breaks to care for pets in between my work. I am flexible with early morning walks to late evening strolls. I love walking through parks and working at pet friendly cafes. I am transparent with my work. Working at clients home is something I understand that must be rooted in trust and care. I respect people's property and schedule to the best of my ability. I am actively aware of the need for communication, and I place that trait above all.
About: I’ve always had a dog in my life since I was born. I’ve been taking care of them for about as long as I can remember, whether they’re mine or a family/friend’s. I’ve trained my dogs and taken care of all sorts of age ranges, from puppies to 13+ year old dogs. I volunteer part-time so when I’m not volunteering, I try to take the time to do pet care. Since I have the free time, I’m doing it frequently. I have experience taking care of all kinds of dogs. I’ve given dogs meds, I’ve dealt with super hyper dogs that need to be walked for 2 hours to calm down.
“We were so happy to rebook again with Anastasia to care for our cat in our home while we were away over a two week span. She is always so kind to our kitty, Jake, and has won him over even though he’s usually pretty skittish with visitors. She patiently plays with him and gives him treats, and has even gotten him used to pets and cuddles. I’m grateful to her for her good care of Jake, and I’ll be booking with her again in the future!”
“Gabby performed all duties accordingly and was communicative throughout the process. Thank you for all the effort! I will recommend her and use her services again in the future!”
About: I may be new to the Rover platform, but I have spent my entire life caring for animals and treating them as my own. I grew up with a beloved Toy Poodle, named Mason, who was full of life until he passed in January 2025. Caring for him, especially as he managed heart and bladder complications in his later years, gave me extensive experience in administering daily medications and providing the extra patience senior dogs require. Beyond my own pets, I’ve spent years sitting for friends and family with dogs and cats of all sizes. Whether your pet is a high-energy puppy or a quiet senior, I am comfortable adapting to their unique personality and ensuring they feel safe, loved, and pampered while you’re away. Because I work a professional office job, I have tailored my pet-care schedule to ensure I can give your fur babies my undivided attention during my off-hours. My current availability is Monday through Thursday evenings, and I have expanded hours on Fridays for early mornings, lunch breaks (12–1 PM), and evenings. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am fully available all day for longer walks or house-sitting needs. I pride myself on being reliable and communicative, and I would love to help maintain your pet’s routine—from neighborhood walks to playtime and feedings—with the same care I’d give my own. Because I work a structured professional schedule, I am able to offer very consistent and predictable blocks of time for your pets. Here is how my routine typically looks: - Monday – Thursday: I work in-office during the day, so I am fully dedicated to evening care from 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM. This is perfect for dinner feedings, evening walks, and end-of-day snuggles or medication. - Friday: This is my most flexible weekday! I am available for early morning check-ins before 8:30 AM, lunchtime visits (12:00 PM – 1:00 PM) for a midday potty break, and I am fully available from 5:00 PM onwards to kick off the weekend. - Saturday & Sunday: These are my primary "Pet Days." I am fully available all day for long hikes, multiple drop-ins, or extended house-sitting. I treat my clients' homes with the same respect and care that I give my own. I am a firm believer in maintaining the "house rules" you’ve already established. If your pet isn't allowed on the couch or needs to be crated while I step out, I follow those instructions to the letter. I am naturally tidy and vigilant, ensuring that no stray items are left out that a curious pet could get into. Your home's security and your pet’s safety are my top priorities while you are away. I live in a comfortable, pet-friendly apartment designed for relaxation and play. For safety, I have a strict policy regarding my balcony: it remains locked at all times when a pet is in my care to ensure there is zero risk. My layout has enough space for your pet to lounge or play, and I have dedicated space if your pet prefers to be crated for sleep or meals. While I don't have a private yard, I am lucky to live in an area surrounded by lush green spaces! There are beautiful walking paths right outside my front door and several parks throughout the neighborhood. This allows for plenty of "sniff-breaks" and fresh air. Whether we are in your neighborhood or mine, I am always focused on leash safety and staying aware of our surroundings to ensure every walk is a happy and secure one.
“I was so grateful to have had Tibisay watch my cats while I was out of the country for 2 weeks. From the sweet pictures and videos she shared to the way I found my cats when I arrived home, it is clear my cats were well cared for and loved while I was away. Thank you and I would recommend Tibi to other pet owners.”
“Very attentive and communicative, she understands directions well and clearly enjoys cats. She has some conflicts with her schedule as she is a student but overall, I would hire her again.”
About: I am a true dog lover and plenty of experience as I have dogsat many times throughout the years. I have had three dogs myself so I understand the responsibility and care that each dog needs! I love animals and love spending time outside with them! I just moved to Jackson and do not start work until the end of April, leaving plenty of time to take care of your pet! My schedule is very flexible so if you need any specific care, I am available. I love to be outside and doing so with a pet is even better! I enjoy walks and hikes, whichever you are most comfortable with.
“We are so thankful we found Cyn. We live in a chaotic 4 cat household and travel can be difficult. We recently got away for 9 whole days and felt so happy and comfortable knowing Cyn was there to look after them. She sends lots of updates, pictures and is always willing to chat with us while we are away. Thanks Cyn!!”
“Rachel was extremely reliable and took such good care of Mocha! She sent us pictures and provided us with plenty of updates. We will definitely have her come back the next time we’re away.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Roslindale
We chose Caleb because he was a cat-forward sitter, and he took great care of our special needs cat! She received plenty of attention and all of her medications as needed. Caleb shined even more caring for our aging and declining senior dogs who started needing extra attention as our trip came closer. We greatly appreciated Caleb and would happily rehire him!
This was the second time we had Cynthia look after our senior cats who need some special TLC and she was fabulous. She was quick to identify when we had forgotten to leave one of the meds on the counter with all the other supplies, reached out, and located it in our kitchen. I was confident she was taking great care of our girls while we were away!
Holden was an amazing pet sitter for our cat, Maribel! He was very responsive and replied to messages quickly. Maribel was quite shy but he made sure she felt safe, supported and had treats nearby to stay happy! We were so glad to find Holden to take care of our kitty and will surely book with him again and recommend him to anyone in the area with pets! :)
Lindsay was the first sitter we booked through Rover, and we absolutely loved her! She's incredibly thoughtful and paid close attention to every detail of care for our three cats, even the most nitpicky instructions I threw at her. She was also super responsive, so I never had to wonder how everyone was doing. She left our home exactly as she found it, which showed how much she cared about keeping the cats in a clean, comfortable environment. Lindsay truly cares about our cats, and that's what you want in a cat sitter. Highly recommend!

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 .
