“Stephanie was so great with our kitties!! Very attentive and consistent with sending photos, asking questions, and made sure to check all items on the checklist while still setting aside play time with our babies 🙂 We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Such good communication whole process through, our fur baby's loved her. Took care of all the basic needs and gave lots of extra cuddles, will definitely book again and would recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of lots of types of dogs and cats. I have experience giving medicine to both dogs and cats ( I have experience with the cat burrito maneuver). I am patient with animals and do my best to meet them at their level. I am an owner of a high energy dog and she has taught me so much about talking care of pets. During the week, I have availability for lunchtime walks and evening hang. On the weekends, my schedule is much more open and I can be available whenever you need me. When taking a dog into a backyard I always make sure they are supervised. My pup is a jumper and can easily jump a fence. So I know what to look out for. When in a new spaces I always walk the fence line to check for any holes or loose boards. With indoor cats, I enter and exits the house carefully so nobody escapes. I understand cats can be shy, so i usually pick a spot and hang out quietly there and wait for the cat to come to me.
About: I’ve raised, trained, and dealt with a range of dogs, big, small, young, or old my whole life, and I'm good at adjusting to each dog's proper needs and quirks! I’m a very patient person and like to take time making sure the dog is having a good time, along with making sure my clients feel safe and comfortable leaving their babies in my care! I have five dogs of my own, such as my Shih Tzu and my Dachshund! I’ve owned many big dogs in the past as well and have a wide experience with different dogs and their quirks! I’m currently a full-time college student, and am free throughout the week and can be flexible with most times throughout the day, whether it be early morning or later in the day! I am able to take extra time for your pet if needed, and don’t mind making adjustments if need be! I have raised many dogs, and even rescued loads of animals throughout my life, and have learned how to adjust to dogs needs. I am very patient and enjoy taking my time making sure every pet is comfortable and having fun throughout the walk. I generally like to update often, and make sure both sides are comfortable and feel safe with the care of the dog. Based on your pets reactivity or personality, I will base my bookings off of that to make sure everything is smooth sailing, as I’d never put a dog in harms way!
About: I love playing with and walking dogs. I am also a cat lover. No matter the pet, I like to get to know them, what makes them unique and how I can win their affection. I have been watching friends and family’s pets for the past 7 years and grew up taking care of a dog and a few cats. I have experience with younger and senior dogs, senior kitties and being around kittens basically 24/7. I’ve administered medication to foster kittens and have fed a very picky senior cat. I would be honored to help keep your pets happy and healthy and would do whatever I can to make them feel loved and cared for. I am happy to visit for feeding, walks or playtime during your busy work day. Friday-Monday require a couple days planning in advance. I’m currently looking for a full time job, so I’m very flexible. I am happy to meet whatever the needs are for your pets, whether feeding, playing, brushing, medication. I love playing with pets and giving them pets. Give me clear instructions and I will be set. I am unable to host/board pets due to my apartment rules.
“Aimee was wonderful! She cared for mine and my husband’s two cats while we were away. One of our cats is known for not being so friendly towards strangers, but she took to Aimee right away, which gave me a lot of reassurance. She provided excellent care for our cats and I hope she is available again next time we need a sitter.”
“Kilani is incredible! Our two cats warmed up to her right away and you could tell she was very comfortable and knew what she was doing. Kilani was very punctual and responsive with her communication too. As an added bonus, the photos she sent of our girls were phenomenal! We will definitely book again.”
“Thank you Stacey! She was able to come and meet my senior kitty on late notice, and her flexibility and care meant so much for my peace of mind on this trip. Bubsy and I are very thankful for Stacey!”
About: I have taken care of all types of animals from furry friends to reptiles! They will be in great hands! I have experience with medication administration as well if any friends need some extra care :) I am currently in nursing school, so outside of class I am available to care for your animals. I will provide my school schedule to see if it works for you and your animals. I have several references that I would be happy to provide use to you :) I provide attentive, loving care and love to be active, so if you have an active animal I promise they will be happy with me!
“Briana was great! I have a zoo of cats, and she was able to get even the most scared ones to come out! She even put in an effort with my mean queen who tolerated her which is better than she does with anyone else. She was also so accommodating when my trip ran into some issues causing extended dates which was wonderful!”
“Emma was a great sitter for our cat, Miso, and our four chickens! She came over for a quick meet and greet before our trip which gave us confidence she would be able to take good care of everyone. She’d visits were on time and she sent us plenty of photos and status updates. Our babies were very happy!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. I now have a rescue dog that is 111lbs, & at 6 years old still thinks he’s a puppy. So I can handle a lot of dog sizes, weights & personalities. Here for walks or check ins & feeding if you’re out of town or need help. Message me! 🐕🦮🐕🦺 I am available for afternoon and evening walks, check ins, feeding and play time. I am also available on weekends and Fridays after 12pm. Just let me know what works for you! I have a large dog at home that is a lot to handle so boarding in my home would be difficult. I am trustworthy and caring so you can trust your furry family member in my care.
About: Growing up there was always a wagging tail, fur everywhere, and a pile of toys in my house—and I didn't mind. To me, home has always meant a thousand kisses, cuddles and belly scratches. I truly love being around dogs no matter how big or small! (I grew up with a Sheltie, Golden Retriever, and Chihuahua so I'm comfortable adjusting to different energy levels and routines.) I know how special your dog is and I would love to help care for them they way you would! No more worries while you're away. 🐾 Pet care fits really well into my routine right now. I currently have a lot of open availability and flexibility. I'm able to able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, and giving pets consistent attention. I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, & loved so you can count on me to follow your instructions closely when it comes to meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and house rules. I also pay attention to making sure doors are closed, leashes are secure, or your pet isn't getting into anything they shouldn't. I want them to feel settled and at ease. I'm big on communication so I'll send regular check ins and pictures so you never have to wonder how things are going. I know every pet is different so I try to be kind and adaptable and meet them where they're at so they can adjust to the unfamiliar. I also know it takes a lot of trust to leave your pet with someone new. I take pride in taking some of the stress off your shoulders by making sure your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. :)
“Bari was absolutely wonderful with my cat and I was very confident that my girl was in excellent care while I was gone. Her love of cats is very apparent!”
“Melinda made this the best experience imaginable. She’s so lovely and so thoughtful and left the house cleaner than we left it on her arrival! She sent updates and was so connective with our kitty; I will 10/10 be using Melinda again and recommending her to friends.”

Stephanie was so great with our kitties!! Very attentive and consistent with sending photos, asking questions, and made sure to check all items on the checklist while still setting aside play time with our babies 🙂 We will definitely be booking with her again!
Thank you, Marissa, for watching peach while I was away. Despite the last minute request, she was available and conveniently close by. Since this was the first time having her watch peach, we met beforehand so peach could meet her and I could explain care instructions. I could tell from the photos that peach was happy in her care.
Jaclyn did an amazing job in caring for our cats. Even when her phone was out of commission and she wasn't able to get in touch with us or Rover, she came by every day to take care of the cats and made sure they have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and fresh food. I really appreciate her care for dedication to making sure our cats were cared for.
Bao was wonderful with our cats while we were away! She took great care of them, kept us updated, and always sent plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. Harold needed some extra care while recovering, and Bao was great about giving him his medication and spending time with him in the separate room where we were keeping him. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was being looked after so well. Bao is reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the animals she watches. We would absolutely trust her with our cats again and highly recommend her!
Kilani is incredible! Our two cats warmed up to her right away and you could tell she was very comfortable and knew what she was doing. Kilani was very punctual and responsive with her communication too. As an added bonus, the photos she sent of our girls were phenomenal! We will definitely book again.
Debbie was incredibly caring and thoughtful while watching our bunny. We appreciated all of her care and were very confident that our rabbit was in great hands while we were out of town. She paid attention to detail and followed through with everything we had discussed! Would 100% recommend!
Jessica was an amazing cat sitter for our two boys! She set up a meet and greet initially to meet our boys which really put me at ease. Jessica is thoughtful, caring, flexible and is great with cats. One of my cats takes more time to warm up to new people and she helped him out of his shell pretty quickly. During her visits she paid special attention to each cat and made sure everything was taken care of. Jessica brought us so much peace of mind knowing our boys were well taken care of while we were traveling. I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Jessica!!

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 .
