“Lindsey is wonderful! She takes great care of my usually-temperamental cat. During a recent visit she even picked up my plants which had overturned in a storm- truly above and beyond!”
“Suzie is the best! She does drop in visits for my 2 kitties, and because of her I am able to go on vacation knowing they’re well taken care of. She sends me very thorough notes and will ask questions if she’s unsure of anything. She sends me lots of great pics which I always look forward to, because even though I’m having fun on my trip I still miss seeing them! Thank you for taking care of my boys :)”
“We had such a great experience with Kymberlee! She cared for our 2 cats while we were away for 9 days, and the daily report cards with lots of pictures gave us complete peace of mind. She spent lots of quality time with the cats so they were very happy and relaxed when we arrived home. We’d absolutely book with Kymberlee again, and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a caring pet sitter!”
“Kristine took wonderful care of our cat, Mack, while we were away on vacation. She showered our boy with lots of love and attention, which gave us great peace of mind while we were gone. Her communication was excellent, and she kept us updated throughout our trip, making it easy to relax knowing Mack was in good hands. Based on our experience, we would absolutely book with Kristine again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter!”
“Lindsey is the best! She should be writing children's books. (The Adventures of Harry and Marv) 😄 Loved reading each update she provided. Made my time away easier knowing my cats were well taken care of. 🐈⬛🐈⬛”
“Larry was great! He hung out with our needy cat, and she warmed up to him so quickly. They were fast friends, and he provided updates on her eating habits (which was something I told him I worry about). I will definitely be rebooking and referring my friends.”
“Amanda is fantastic with our cats and very meticulous about communicating with us. She played with them and gave us regular reports as well! I would highly recommend her.”
“Amazing and intentional sitter! She made leaving our fur babies for the holidays stress and worry free. Great updates and photos of our cats, will definitely be booking with Laura again! :)”
“The peace of mind we got from having Riley look after our two cats was positively priceless. One of our cats was recently diagnosed as diabetic, so traveling becomes far more difficult with the anxiety of having to ensure she gets two doses of insulin daily. Riley was perfect at providing our kitty with her medication but also giving her and her brother some love, attention, and playtime.”
“Sidney did a great job keeping us up to date on how Elmo was doing and making adjustments as needed based on communication with us. He is a new cat to our family so she tried out some new toys with him and found ways to keep him busy.”
About: I grew up with 2 dogs and 3 cats and have been helping take care of animals my whole life, so being around animals has always been a big part of who I am. I know how much our fur babies mean to us—they’re family! I love getting to know each pet’s personality and figuring out what makes them feel happy, comfortable, and safe. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful, energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I also have experience with reactive dogs and understand how important it is to be patient, stay calm, respect their boundaries, and pay attention to their body language. I also have experience as a Veterinary Assistant at an emergency veterinary clinic, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience caring for animals and handling different situations. I’m comfortable giving medications and injections when needed and when provided with instructions. Most importantly, I know that every pet is different. Some want to run around and play, some want all the cuddles they can get, and others are happiest doing their own thing with someone nearby. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and give them the kind of care and attention that works best for them. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your fur baby is being well loved and looked after while you’re away. I’m currently in a transition period, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have open availability throughout the day and into the evening, including weekends, and can be flexible to work around your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep a consistent routine, and make sure your pet is secure and comfortable in their environment. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and other potential safety concerns, and I’ll keep your home clean and tidy during visits or stays. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away.
About: Having cared for my own pets, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ll take the time to learn their personality and follow their usual routine, from meals and walks to playtime and quiet company. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a slower pace, I’ll give them attentive care and plenty of affection. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. I work from home running my own business, and I plan pet care around my work commitments. Before each booking, we’ll agree on a schedule that fits your pet’s routine, including meals, walks, bathroom breaks, and time for attention and play. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before we begin. I’ll follow your care instructions, keep dogs leashed on walks, and check that doors and gates are secure. When visiting your home, I’ll respect your space and leave things as I found them. You’ll receive photos and updates, and I’ll contact you promptly with any concerns.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have been pet sitting for 13 years. I grew up with Newfoundlands at home so I have lots of experience caring for and walking doggies of all sizes! I also have ample experience with dogs that have specific, special, or advanced needs, as well as a wide range of personalities and temperaments. I’m currently employed as an independently contracted mental health therapist and have availability during the weekdays and weekends as I build up a full case load. I would love to fill this time with dog walking and other pet care, if I can! My schedule is fairly flexible so I can be available to check in/care for dogs during normal business hours. I’m also open to staying overnight at clients’ homes to meet the needs of their dog if necessary!

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.

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 .
