“I reached out to Jennifer as a last minute booking forbmy cmvacation when my regular pet sitter had an emergency and couldnt watch my place. She was quick to respond and set up a meeting right away. She was very thoughtful and attentive to my cat. I appreciated the updates and photos.”
“Lillian was great. She sent me tons of photos and videos which really put me at ease while out of town. She did the few extra side things I asked as well, which was super appreciated. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I am a lifelong dog lover. I’ve been lucky in life to have experience with many dogs from many different walks of life. I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who require special diets. When you book with me, your dog gets my full, undivided attention and gentle care to keep them happy and stress-free while you are away. During a standard 30-minute visit, I provide: - Fresh food and clean water replenishment - a 12 minute walk and area cleanup - Interactive playtime with favorite toys or gentle brushing - Plenty of affection, head scratches, or quiet company - Detailed photo updates and text recaps sent after every single visit I am reliable, fully background-checked, and always happy to chat in the messages to set up a quick meet-and-greet. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time for play and caring for your pets! I’m hoping to have new fur pals at least 3 times a week I currently have a dog that is very sweet but I would prefer to watch cats and dogs in owners home and go on walks around already familiar areas for the pets!
“Julie has been nothing but amazing for my two cats. She's incredibly responsive and professional with her check ins. I had a sort of last minute request and she didn't even hesitate to help out (thank you again for that!) I'd highly recommend her for checking in on your cats!”
About: I grew up having all animals in my life. From my own house having turtles, birds, Guinea pigs,5 dogs and almost 15 cats!(no joke!) my aunt I’m very close with also had a small farm with lots of farm animals that I’ve helped take care of. Again I’m a super big animal lover and have no problem taking care of easy pets or difficult bigger pets like 100+ pound dogs. I also have many references that go back 8 years long I’m currently working part-time in the slower season of my job at U-Haul moving and storage. My work shifts are usually around six hours long 3-4 days a week so I have plenty of free time and availability. I also am able to take a lunch break if needed to go check on or feed your pets while at work! Currently, I am living in an apartment with my mom who is also an animal lover and helps me take care of any animals that I might have staying over but I usually do stick to smaller animals being brought into my home since I do have a cat already. I usually prefer to go to your house or possibly asleep at your house if you’re gone for the weekend so that way I’m able to give nonstop care and attention to the animal. I also am very easy-going and do not require much when staying at your home! As well, I have many references for taking care of animals for taking care of house houses plants and anything in between
“Veronika was a great sport about a somewhat irregular cat sitting gig of looking after a semi-stray cat I have been feeding for several months. She sounded honestly happy and pleased the one time she saw the cat in the yard. Very reliable and easy to work with.”
“Madi is very good with animals. My two little dogs bonded with her right away. She is a trustworthy and reliable person and I am very appreciative for her help with my fur children.”
“Aleksandra did a great job with Sunny! She was attentive to his needs and made sure he was fed, his litter box was scooped, and that he was well cared for each day. She made sure to give him lots of play time as well and provided detailed updates on the Rover cards with how he was doing each day. I would highly recommend Aleksandra with taking care of your pet!”
“took fantastic and attentive care of my cat on a very short-notice booking! superb communication and sent multiple pictures each day as well. respectful of the property and care instructions. 11/10 recommend to anyone looking for someone to look after for their best friend :)”
“Kim is great! I’ve been using her services for a few years now, and she is always wonderful. I’m not the best planner, so I always book not so far in the future and she is always there for me! I love the pictures I get every day! Kim even went that extra mile to water my plant when it looked really sad. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!”
About: I have had the ability to have 2 small shelter rescue dogs, Neptune and Apollo. Neptune is no longer with us, but he and Apollo were both well trained and loved life. I have grown up around dogs and dog sat for several family members and friends in the past. I will make sure your dog is having fun and loving life when they are with me. I am currently a college student and have a very flexible schedual with most afternoon and evenings available along with the weekends. I do attend church for 2 hours on Sunday, but other than that I can be with your pet all weekend long. I check water bowls every hour and set alarms on my phone to make sure I never miss feeding time or medication. I play with your pets and take them on long walks when it is safe temperature wise to do so. Any medical concern will be run by the pet parent first unless a dire emergency arises, in which I will need preference(s) for vet(s) in the area listed ahead of time.
“Christian did an amazing job checking in on my cats while I was out of town. Great communication, flexibility and pics/updates on each visit. I will continue to reach out for Christians support in the future!”
“Serena saved the day with short notice availability for our two cats, Darci and Jackson! She was super communicative throughout the entire drop in visit, sent updates, and took great initiative when handling our instructions. Our cats were so well taken care of, and her genuine love for animals really shines through. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”
“Jun was so great! Every report card was detailed and there were a ton of photos which I loved! I really felt like my cats were well looked after while I was gone. Thank you so so much for everything!”
About: My twin Rachel and I have been dog and cat sitting for the past 10 years whenever our neighbors or friends go out of town and need a sitter. We’ve been on Rover for about 5 years. We can take the dogs on walks when you normally do and also make sure they have their food and water available. We both work during the day, but not full time. Since there are two of us we can spend more time with the animals and make sure they get taken care of properly, plus we have double the love and affection to offer! We grew up in a house full of pets from dogs, cats, turtles, geckos, and frogs so we are very good with animals and very used to being around them. We are more than happy to dog or cat sit, we love all animals and have even watched a rabbit while our friend was away. We are very reliable and will put your pets needs first and before our own. We will be sure to keep you updated while you're away and share pictures of your pets to give you some peace of mind! With both of us working part time we have flexible schedules and plenty of time for your fur babies! We can discuss more details if you want to book with us. We love animals and get along great with most, the most important part is making sure they trust you. We always let a dog sniff our hands before we go to pet them to make sure they are okay with it.
“Ben was wonderful with my little haus panther, trying to (and usually succeeding in) getting him to come out and play -- or, more accurately, do epic battle (in a playful way, of course; it's just my cat's MO/love language, lol). Lots of pics and videos. Nice to have a cat dad caring for my little guy :-)”
“Allie did an incredible job of taking care of my cat Sasha. Sasha can be a little territorial when I’m away and Allie was very patient and thoughtful, taking extra steps to put Sasha at ease. She gave me helpful updates throughout my trip and it gave me great peace of mind. I look forward to using her again!”
About: Expert In-Home Care for Every Kind of Cat—From Shy Strays to Super Seniors Most people can feed a cat, but not everyone can manage an inhaler or earn the trust of a former stray. With five cats of my own (ranging from 2 to 12 years old) and 1.5 years of experience fostering for three different rescues, I’ve seen it all. Whether your cat is a social butterfly or a "hider" who needs a patient friend, I’m here to make sure their routine never skips a beat. Why trust me with your fur-babies? Medical Pro: I am highly experienced in administering oral medications and asthma inhalers. I understand the nuances of caring for cats with stomatitis, arthritis, and senior-specific needs. The "Cat Whisperer" Touch: My rescue work focuses on rehabilitating fearful strays. I know how to read feline body language, respect their space, and slowly earn their friendship. Tech-Savvy Care: I use automatic litter boxes, fountains, and feeders at home. I’ll ensure your gadgets are functioning perfectly so there are no "tech glitches" while you're away. Total Reliability: 20+ years of experience house-sitting for friends means I respect your home as much as I respect your cats. I am home most days of the week and I have open availability! I am very flexible and willing to work within your schedule needs. I have space to keep your cat away from my cats if needed, or they may hang out with the other cats. I foster often, so all of my cats are very gentle and accepting of new friends. I can provide wet and dry food and treats, as instructed. I have toys, beds, and extra litterboxes just for your pet. In home sitting I can follow any instructions provided to make sure your pet is comfortable and stress free while you are away.
“Sierra was very detailed, professional, attentive, and punctual. I have a chronically ill kitty that needs daily meds and I was really worried about leaving him while on my trip, but Sierra made me feel at ease and I could tell my babies were in good hands. I highly recommend her services!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - San Carlos
I highly recommend Kylan as a pet sitter! She did an absolutely wonderful job. She listened carefully to all my requests and followed my instructions perfectly. My pet is quite timid, but Kylan was incredibly patient and gave him plenty of time to adjust and feel comfortable at his own pace. On top of that, communication was fantastic-she kept me updated and was always easy to reach. I couldn't be happier!
I couldn’t be happier with Emma as a pet sitter! She took exceptional care of my cat and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Emma has been reliable, attentive, communicative, and clearly genuinely loves animals. I’ve received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while away. My cat was relaxed and content when I returned, and it was obvious he had been treated like family. I highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter!
This was my first usage of the Rover App and it won't be my last. Emma was friendly, professional, prompt, efficient, and effective. Don't let her rates mislead you into thinking you are getting less of a service. I highly recommend her and will utilize her services in the future. Great job and Thank you!
Julie was absolutely amazing! I was away for the weekend and she took such great care of my cat. She was reliable, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She gave him plenty of attention and care, kept me updated, and went above and beyond during every visit. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about animals, and that gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was gone. I would 100% trust Julie to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!
We were excited to go on vacation knowing that Jessica would be watching our two fur babies. It was great reading her updates each morning we were gone and to know that they were being loved and in good hands. She was reliable and made sure we came back home to a happy house.
Madison has a very gentle nature that my cats were drawn to immediately. I trusted her because she is a vet assistant and has devoted her life to caring for animals. I was called to go on a business trip for 2.5 weeks, and Madison rose to the occasion and hung in there with daily updates and photos to keep me in touch with them while I was gone. The cats were happy and relaxed when I returned home and I am very grateful for her loving care while I was gone.
This is our second time hiring Lillian to take care of our girls. From the photos it looks like the girls are comfortable with her which is good. She administered meds, replaced water and cleaned litter boxes as requested. Our cats are prone to UTIs so it’s important for clean water and litter boxes. Thanks again, Lillian!

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 .
