“She was phenomenal with my cats! Gave headsup before starting each checkin, followed their schedules and kept them separate while still spending individual time with them. My super shy cat immediately warmed up to her too, which was an instant relief! 10/10”
“Emily is great! She was very attentive with our cats and they warmed up to her quickly. She loves animals and took great care of them while we were out of town. We def noticed a difference when we came home vs leaving them alone or just having a neighbor check on them. Would def recommend Emily and book her again!”

“Samantha is a great sitter. She was very pleasant when she met my kitties and one of my kitties who doesn’t warm up to folks easily reacted very well to her which was a good first sign.

About: Hi, I’m Kalynn!! I love animals and have years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes.

I am completely comfortable managing different feeding schedules, energy levels, and overnight routines I work part time with a flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time to love, play, and follow your babies feeding schedules and any medical needs :) I prefer caring for pets at their own home to ensure they're comfortable, safe and have everything they need.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Shelby
No need to look further, choose Emily, she is absolutely fantastic. Now we too know why she has so many "customers". We have Ring cameras throughout our home and outside and saw that our cats loved her and she was like a new best friend. Some even came to greet her in the driveway. She took great care of them and kept the house smelling perfect (anyone with cats knows is something you have to stay on top of). Now we are confident that we can travel and our home and pets are in great care with Emily.
Karen is the best pet sitter ever! We have three kitties with big personalities and special care-instructions: Karen went above and beyond to make them feel not only cared-for but loved. At each drop-in she provided photos and a detailed write-up of how the visit went, which was a delightful relief for an anxious pet-parent like myself. I was truly able to relax while traveling because I knew she was giving them great attention and plenty of playtime. I can't recommend Karen's services enough!

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.

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 .
