“Noelle was great! She's friendly, punctual, and our cats took right to her. She was great about sending updates and pictures while we were away. I'd recommend Noelle and will schedule her again!”
About: I work from home full-time. Your pet will receive frequent supervision, companionship, potty & play breaks and lots of attention throughout the day! I will provide a safe and loving environment where your pet will be comfortable and cared for like they are part of the family. I've cared for animals in every stage of life. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs as well as cats of all ages. I understand that each pet requires individualized care, patience, and attention. My family really enjoy opening our home and hearts to your fur babies while your away. I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide frequent supervision and attention throughout the day. Work is flexible allowing for lots of love and activities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play with my dog. When not outdoors our house guest will primarily stay with me in my home office as my co-worker and side kick. With lots of breaks for tummy rubs and head scritches of course!
About: Animals have been a lifelong part of my life. I grew up around farm animals and have owned and cared for dogs ranging in size from a Toy Poodle to a Great Dane. I also raised a puppy through the Leader Dogs for the Blind puppy-raising program in Michigan and have experience training dogs in both obedience and agility. I previously worked as a veterinary assistant at two veterinary clinics, which gave me valuable hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a wide variety of personalities, ages and needs. I especially love learning about canine behavior and training and am always reading and continuing to learn. I’m currently working with my daughter as she learns about showing dogs with the goal of becoming an AKC Junior Handler. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m attentive to each animal’s individual personality and routine, and I prioritize safety, communication and making pets feel comfortable while their people are away. I’m happy to provide photos and updates during every visit. I have a flexible daytime schedule that allows me to provide walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m especially available during weekday mornings and afternoons, making me a great fit for pets who need a midday walk, potty break, meal, medication, playtime or companionship while their owners are at work or away. I also offer evening and weekend availability when my schedule allows and am happy to discuss recurring weekly care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my first priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s normal routine, temperament, handling preferences and any special instructions before providing care. During visits, I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes and other potential safety concerns and will always follow your care instructions closely. My previous experience working as a veterinary assistant has made me particularly observant of changes in an animal’s behavior or well-being. I also understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home and will treat your home, privacy and belongings with respect. I provide dependable communication and am happy to send photos and updates after each visit so you know how your pet is doing.
“We can’t say enough great things about Samantha! She was so flexible with our work schedules and absolutely so sweet with our 2 fur babies. I think they miss her! Such a comforting thought, knowing that they were taken care of. Can’t wait to book again!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and I was really anxious letting a stranger in to visit my cat Raven. She made me feel so at ease about everything, and gave the best updates!! I could tell she was the right calming presence for Raven while I was gone. I would 100% recommend Lauren, and will definitely be using her services again next time I’m out of town :)”
About: I’ve been caring for pets most of my life, from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats who need a little extra love and patience. Over the years, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to connect with each one to make them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch, or providing calm companionship, I adjust to what makes your furry friend happiest. Safety, reliability, and compassion are always at the heart of the way I care for animals. I’m currently not working so I do have open availability. I do volunteering 2 times a month on Saturday’s so I would be available for a bit before or any time after. While I am currently not offering in home services at my home, I am comfortable providing services at your home. I will follow your instructions given!
About: -- Grew up with medium sized dogs. Our parents bred our dogs, so I am versed in the young puppy stage. -- Lived with cats, aiding with their care I love any and all furry creatures and am always down to make a new furry friend. Any questions, just ask! I currently am working part-time and have time to take care of dogs and cats alike. I have yet to meet a furry friend that I don't get along with. Consistency and routine is important for any animal and I strive to incorporate that both in my personal and professional life. I have experience in every stage of a dog or cat's life - from newborn to elderly.
About: I am grateful that I got to grow up around animals and build special bonds with them! Ever since I was little, I cared for my own pets, my family’s and friend’s. I am detail oriented and care about you and your pet! I work full time during the week and I am off later in the evenings. My weekends are open to care for your furry friends! It is my top priority to create consistency and safety for my own cat, and that is still just as important when it comes to your pets! I appreciate clarity when it comes to expectations regarding your pets care.
“Morgan is amazing and ultra-reliable pet help. She was available to give my older diabetic cat insulin injections twice per day for a long weekend so I could be on vacation with no worries.”
“Austin was great with our cats! Our cats usually don't like new people but they both took to Austin very quickly. He sent plenty of updates and pictures throughout the week and even cleaned up their hairballs/vomit when it occurred. Would recommend booking with Austin if you need someone great and trustworthy to watch your pets.”
“Erin was great! She responded right away when we were looking for someone to care for our cat, Max, over the holiday. We set up a meet & greet and she was very friendly and accommodating. This was our first time w/a Rover sitter. The evening she was scheduled, she arrived at the right time to feed Max & give his insulin. It was a good experience!”
“She was TRULY the best dog sitter. She is kind and sweet with my doggies and she sent lots of pictures which was so wonderful! I would TOTALLY use her again! Thank you, Muskaan again. She’s the best! You won’t regret having her watch your babies. ❤️🐾”
About: I have had many animals in my lifetime and much experience with different types of pets. I currently have 2 kitties. One of which is a rambunctious kitten.

About: Hi! My name is Amanda. I’ve been a cat mama to 2 of my own fur babies for about 5 years now, but I have always grown up with cats and the sweetest little Yorkshire terrier dog. When I’m not home with my kitties, I’m in the classroom teaching my 2-5 year old babies! The skills I’ve learned through being special education early childhood teacher go hand-in-hand with being a good pet mama. Although cleaning up 💩 isn’t my favorite part of the job, it’s worth it to love on BOTH the fur babies and human babies. 🤣 You can trust that I will show the utmost patience, care, and love with your animals as though they are my own. And you can trust that you will receive many photos! 🥰 I am on summer break until August 6th, and have lots of availability during the week and weekends! My daily routine with my kitties includes feeding, letting them sun-bathe on the balcony, and vacuuming litter all day (LOL). I care for any and all fur babies as though they are my own. You can trust that they will be addressed with care, patience, and lots of cuddles and kisses.
“Allison was great, she was easy to get a hold of and was always on time. Allison was great with both my dog and cat and the pets really liked her. She even went the extra mile and changed her schedule so it would work better for us. I would recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“We found out at the last minute that our spring break accommodation did not allow cats, and Susan saved the day! We always prefer someone who has experience with cats, and Susan’s experience and love for all animals shone through from even the first meeting. When we had questions after coming home, Susan was responsive and helpful.”

Pamela did a great job. This is the 2nd time she’s checked on my pets and they enjoy being around her, she even gets my shy guy to come out to say hello for pictures. Also Pamela sends great pictures every day. I will definitely hire her again if possible.
Hannah did an excellent job in caring for my cat & the outside ferals that show up @ feeding time. Hannah communicated & kept things seamlessly going while I was away. She is a wonderful, caring person that I am fortunate to have taking care of the kitties and have already booked her for another visit!

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
