“Jenifer did a great job taking care of our two cats while we were out of the country, we would certainly use her help again for future trips. She was also very responsive and made sure to get some good pictures of the cats while we were away.”
“Mary was an excellent caretaker of our kitties while we were out for an extended weekend. She was very communicative, thorough, and followed the care instructions that we laid out. We appreciated the photos she sent us during her visit and will be booking with her again in the future. We would recommend Mary to other pet owners!”
“Robyn took great care of our cat and made sure she had plenty of food & water, played with her and kept her company. We are so thankful she kept an eye on her while we were traveling!”
“I recently hired XI to take care of my cats while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly attentive, reliable, and caring. My cats were well cared for, played with, and clearly adored the extra attention! I received regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. When I returned, my cats were happy and relaxed. I highly recommend XI to anyone looking for a responsible and loving cat sitter!”
“Suz went above and beyond caring for Luna and Zozo. It was such a relief knowing they were safe and taken care of by someone who loves animals just as much as I do. She even was okay with a last minute plan change which is so deeply appreciate. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Hsuan-Chu. She took such good care of our cats and really spent time playing with them, which they loved. Clove is usually pretty shy and nervous around new people, but she actually felt comfortable with Hsuan-Chu and even warmed up to her, which meant a lot to us. Cumin also enjoyed spending time with her and clearly had a great time playing. Communication was easy, we always got thoughtful updates, and we could tell they were both happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again.”
“Lucy is the best sitter!! Im her regular. I can trust that my cat is in good hand whenever I’m away. She writes detailed report card and takes tons of pictures, they are the highlight of my day! 🤩💕”
About: I have hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life from energetic puppies who are still figuring out the world, to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I'm comfortable administering medications, so owners of older or special-needs dogs can leave with real peace of mind. Dog care is woven into my day from start to finish. Mornings start with a walk, which sets a calm, positive tone for the whole day. I check in at midday to make sure every pup is comfortable and getting attention, and afternoons are reserved for playtime and activity. As the day winds down, I shift into a quieter evening routine to help dogs feel settled and secure before bed. When needed, I stay overnight so there's always a familiar face nearby. Because I work a flexible schedule, I'm not rushing between commitments. Dogs in my care get genuine, unhurried attention throughout the day, not just the leftover parts of it. When I care for a dog in their own home, my goal is simple — keep everything as normal as possible so they barely notice their owner is gone. I follow the routine the owner already has in place: same feeding times, same walking schedule, same house rules. For senior dogs especially, that consistency makes a real difference in keeping them calm and comfortable. For puppies, I stay attentive and keep a close eye to make sure they're safe and not getting into anything they shouldn't. I treat every client's home with care and respect, and owners can count on regular updates and photos throughout the day so they always know their dog is in good hands
“Li was very reliable, responsible, and followed all of my instructions carefully. Everything I asked her to take care of was done really well, and I could tell that she genuinely loves animals. I felt completely at ease leaving my pet in her care and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Five stars!”
“I have booked with Carissa multiple times. She is always very thoughtful and takes such good care of my cat Hughie. I know now that I can travel with one less worry, because I know Carissa is going to give him such great care.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog and cat owner with experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I’m the person that all my friends bring their pets to when they go out of town. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your dog like my own on every walk :) I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a regular part of my day. I’m available throughout the week for walks, check-ins, and plenty of love and attention. I follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions closely. I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away.
“We went on vacation for a week and a half, and Gabriela stayed overnight with our 2 cats during that time. She did a great job taking care of them and giving us updates. Our cats take a little bit to warm up to people, but they warmed up to Gabriela pretty quickly and seemed to enjoy her company. She made sure to ask clarifying questions for anything she wasn’t sure about, and the house was very clean when we returned home. Would absolutely recommend her overnight services.”
“I have asked Michelle to pet sit my kitty, Nugget, on multiple occasions and she will continue to be the first person I reach out to. Michelle is very communicative, always making sure i am receiving pictures of my sweet girl. I know that when Michelle watches her, that she will be fed, have a clean litter box and will receive all the love. I think the biggest indicator that Michelle is great with my cat, is that Nugget absolutely loves her. It’s so wonderful having a pet sitter that I can trust. Thank you Michelle!”

Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of love and attention!

I’m especially available between classes, whether it be in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and on weekends, depending on the day. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with someone caring for your pet, so I’ll always treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

“Yiping is very caring, I could tell Emma had a wonderful time. It’s very rare Emma doesn’t want to come home when I go pick her up. She has a very spacious isolated space for my cat. This is a very lovely home, def recommend!”
About: I used to be a dog tender at a doggy daycare and board facility. I watched larger groups of dogs for hours and helped with overnight boarding, meals, and medication. I am a student athlete and full time college student but have mornings, afternoons, and evening time to care for pets! Weekends are often free and I’d love to be able to care for animals when I’m available. I love going on walks and being outside to make sure pets are getting out of the house and getting exercise. Also making sure to interact and play when them often when inside with them.

Kenny was wonderful with communication / updates / accommodations for our cat during our 4 day trip! We were worried because this was her first time without us for so long, but he took such good care of her that she was in great spirits when we got home. Thank you Kenny!
Marlo was so great!! She dropped in twice a day for a couple days to feed and play with our two kitties. She was punctual and followed instructions well. She also sent updates with photos each visit to reassure our kitties were in good hands which gave us extreme peace of mind 🙏🏼 thank you Marlo!! We’ll see you next time 😊
I’ve honestly lost count of how many times I’ve booked with Carissa! She’s now my go-to person for taking care of my fur babies. She is always incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and thorough, and my babies absolutely adore her! She has also gone above and beyond to help with a few unexpected situations, which I truly appreciate. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my babies are in such good hands. I’ll definitely continue booking with her and can’t recommend her highly enough! ❤
Likang was absolutely amazing caring for my cat. I was away for 2 weeks and she came to check on her every other day. She fed Daisy, refilled and cleaned her litter, played and entertained her, and even taught her a trick! She sent lots of photos and updates to me which I super appreciate. I often go on long trips so I will 100% book her again :)
In the 13th hour, after having a sitter cancel on day 1 of my trip, Meara was incredibly flexible and was able to make room in her schedule to help care for Chicken and Pookie. While the kitties were under her care, she invested time to get to know them. She went above and beyond to not only communicate their needs but their emotional states. If you're looking for a sitter that cares and love your pets, Meara is the person for you!

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 .

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 .
