“We are grateful to Paulina for responding to our last minute request for pet sitting. She did a great job taking care of our cats and gave us up-to-date info for each visit,”
“Kelly did an awesome job of taking care of our three cats over the weekend. They are not always quick to welcome newcomers, but the boys took to her right off as they are excellent judges of character. Our semiferal girl did her usual hiding thing, but that was to be expected. Kelly knew to limit the interaction for the short time we were away and luckily Scarlett got to eat, which was perfect. I loved getting the feedback, pictures, and updates on them and it put my mind at ease to know how well they were cared for.”
“We had an excellent experience with Brooke! She was reliable, caring and went above and beyond. She always sent us updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and book her again!”
“Kim was great and took such good care of my cat! I really appreciate the updates and adorable photos she sent throughout the week. This was the second time Kim has taken care of my cat and I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Virginia took wonderful care of our two cats. She showed them love and attention everyday when we were out of town. We were gone for about two weeks and her care never wavered. We have a very shy cat and the cat took to her so quickly. You can tell she has a good heart and a lot of experience. I highly recommend Virginia ❤️”
“Erica is punctual, responds promptly and was very accommodative with my requests. My cats warmed up to her right away. She’s a great sitter and would definitely use her services again. Thank you Erica!”
“We had Ken for a 2 day house sit for our dog, Flash. In all of our years using Rover, we’ve rarely had a sitter who loves Flash as much (maybe more!) than we do. Ken even made a special late evening visit outside of those that were scheduled just to make sure Flash had a little extra love before bed. We came back to a tidy home and happy pooch. Will definitely have Ken back again!”
“Jen is a caring petsitter. She spend time with our kitties and observe their behavior. She is able to give us clear feedback. We appreciate her care and attention. We definitely will ask her in the future to take care of our cats.”
“Julia was very responsible, caring and communicative when taking care of our two cats. I felt very comfortable leaving our pets in her care and felt reassured by her thorough updates. We hope to be repeat customers in the future!”
“We love Lingwen! She was easy to contact, punctual, and very caring. She let us know how Astro was doing in detail and the pictures she sent us every visit were great 😊”
“I’m so happy I booked with Alison! She was so nice and checked in on everything I asked. It was my first time leaving my kitten since getting her so I loved getting the daily updates and photos!! :)”
“Eko and Sarah were SO nice with Cleo and really took their time to play with her and keeping her company☺️ truly happy to have found them after our previous Rover moved!”
About: Hi there! I’m a second-year veterinary student who loves animals. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant in a small animal clinic for the past two years, gaining hands-on experience with dogs and cats. I would love the chance to hang out with your furry friend! I am both CPR and Fear Free certified and have experience administering oral, IM and IV medication to dogs and cats. During the weekdays, I am available during lunch (12-1), and in the afternoon each day. My weekend availability is on a case-by-case basis so reach out! The first time I left my dog with a Rover sitter, it was nerve-racking. Trusting a stranger to care for your family member is a big deal, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. No question or detail is too small- I'm always happy to communicate to make sure you feel completely comfortable. I am committed to creating a safe, loving environment for your pet. Whether your dog wants to go on a long hike, play outside or curl up on the couch for extra pets, I'm happy to meet them exactly where they are.
“Jessica was an amazing cat sitter for my cat, Meelo! She took such great care of him while I was away, stopping by every day to feed him, clean his litter, and make sure he was doing well. I really appreciated the frequent updates and adorable pictures she sent—they gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares for the pets she watches, and I would absolutely book her again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Rebecka was AMAZING! She was so thoughtful and attentive to my cat while we were out of town - she gave her so much love and playtime, gave really awesome update notes, and checked in about her bathroom habits when some anxiety kept her from using her litter box the first day (just a show of how considerate and thorough she is). She also vacuumed when my cat made a mess in the litter box- so not necessary, but really sweet! I would absolutely recommend Rebecka to anyone looking for a Rover sitter and will definitely be contacting her again for future cat sitting. Thank you!!”
About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by cats and dogs, and have been working in veterinary medicine for about two years. I have been trained extensively in fear free practices, prioritizing pet well being above all else. I am comfortable with complex medical cases, medication administration, and taking things at your pet’s pace. I love animals and have what it takes to make your pets feel cared for, loved, and safe. I would be honored with the opportunity to take care of your pet. I am employed part-time and also a student, so pet care would be best for drop-in visits. I am flexible to work around my schedule as best as I can. I will ensure that I take care of pets according to your exact specifications, always keeping them safe and content! I am also clean, schedule-oriented, and follow directions well to ensure your pet’s schedule stays intact even when you’re away!

Kim is a wonderful drop-in sitter for our 2 cats! We greatly appreciated her being able to take on this visit on very short notice. They were relaxed and had all that they needed during our absence thanks to Kim. Thank you Kim from both of us and from the cats!
We have used Paulina’s services a few times now, and she is the best! She is very reliable and goes above and beyond the call of duty. Not only does she take great care of our cat, she looks after our home, too. She alerted us to a problem with our a/c and watched for our mail and when her booking is done she makes sure that we have returned. It puts our minds at ease when we travel knowing Paulina is there. We will use her services again and again.
Nicole was great with my cat Hallie! Hallie is a very sweet and loving cat, but also very skittish around strangers. In a few short days, Nicole was able to gain her trust and Hallie would hang out with her. Nicole was very quick with responding to messages, particularly when I had questions or concerns, especially when Hallie was found to have some health issues less than a week before I was going out of town. Hallie seemed much happier and more energetic when I came back than when I left. I attribute that to Nicole taking such great care of her.
Tessa checked in on my 16-year-old kitties for a week. She is kind, responsive, flexible, and a true animal-lover. It was evident in all of the visit photos that the cats were being well-loved and having a great time playing and getting pats! Tessa even went above and beyond by leaving our home spotless after some kitty pukey incidents! Lol. We could not be more pleased with the care she provided!!

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 .
