“Beth was absolutely fantastic with our cat Misu. She followed our directions to a T and made our shy cat very happy and safe. We will most definitely be reaching out to Beth whenever we need someone to watch our cat again.”
“Ava was a great sitter for our cat and fish. She is caring and respectful and did a great job taking care of everything! We will look to have Ava when we need a pet sitter again.”
“Courtney did drop-in visits on my two cats while we were away on vacation for a week. She was absolutely amazing! When she came to meet us and our cats, she asked thorough questions and took notes to make sure she did everything as we wanted it. She even offered to take in our mail and asked if there was anything else we needed her to do while we were away. She texted every day with detailed updates about how they were doing, how much they had eaten, if they had played or what they were up to while she was there, etc. and sent some photos each day. If she thought the house was too warm, she let us know and offered to turn on the AC. Her communication was stellar! She is such a kind a lovely person and she did a wonderful job taking care of our fur babies. We will definitely be using her again! Thank you so much Courtney! Highly Reccommended!”
“Kate took amazing care of our cats Paisley and Pepper. There litter box was clean and they where well fed. Even my outside feral cat Freddie got his food and water. I received pictures with every check in she even got Freddie. I would highly recommend Kate to any pet owner. You can trust her to give your cats the best of care. I would definitely ask for her on our next vacation.”
“Jordan was very professional and took very good care of our timid, difficult cat. We felt very comfortable leaving her in Jordan’s care. Jordan went above our expectations.”
“Marinelle was simply amazing! This was my first experience using a pet sitter, so I didn't know what to expect. She took such good care of my Sophia. Sophia was meeting her at the door! I don't think she even missed her mommy!”
“Sarah has been great at checking in and taking care of my cats. I've used her services a number of times now, and hope she continues to be available. I even got to meet her and her family last Halloween when they were trick or treating.”
“Emma and Trent did a great job caring for my two cats. They were happy when I returned and they were able to successfully get Delilah to take her meds every morning. I would use them again!”
“Kelly was great! She was so patient with my shy cat and even sat with her while she ate. I had such peace of mind while she took care of my furbabies. I will definitely rebook her again 😻😻”
“Samantha and her family were wonderful. They were reassuring and kept in contact with us through pictures of our Merlin. We were apprehensive about leaving him because he is an indoor-outdoor cat. They had no issues with that and kept him safe and loved. Highly recommend!”
“Amber is unbelievably responsive and caring, she took my last minute reservation with no problem! Saved the weekend I had planned. Gave my kitten space, attention and love and me some piece of mind. Can’t thank her enough! Totally recommend her!”
“Really appreciate Kimberly's dedication, going above and beyond to care for our cat. Much to our surprise they made our cat, who is normally very shy around people, so comfortable he was snuggled up next to her and even requested belly rubs!”
About: My background in canine care began at the Little Shelter Animal Adoption Center in Huntington, NY in 2008. I was employed there for several years as a dog walker and socializer, working with a wide variety of dogs and puppies from many different walks of life. All of the dogs were rescues, and so special care needed to be provided, with exercise, playtime, feeding, and even medication distribution. After working at the shelter, I found myself at a few local grooming parlors, working as a bather. As you've probably experienced, most dogs do not love being bathed and groomed, and so I would try my very best to make them comfortable in the unfamiliar situation they were in, taking the time to check in on them frequently and give them lots of reassurance and loving. Patience goes a long way! In January of 2015 I had my first two-month long house and pet sitting job. However, since then I've been working a full time office job and have been unable to enjoy much time with canine companions. I will regularly pet sit for close friends and family, but I'm ready to spend more time around furry friends! I'd love to meet you and your pup and ensure that they're properly taken care of and loved while you're out on the weekend, working, or away on vacation! I'm currently working part-time, with a very flexible schedule, so there's a good chance I'll be able to accommodate your scheduling needs! Reach out to me with any questions. I have two cats at who are cautious of other animals, so I'm happy to care for your pet in your home! I'd love to learn about your pet's routine and preferences to provide them the best care possible.
About: Since I was 4 years old we had dogs at home, a boxer mix and a poodle. Later on when I was 15 my mom got a pug, and then another one while my sister got a big pit mix with special needs. And 7 years ago I adopted a dog of my own, a 60lb hound mix, who's the light of my day. I've walked all the dogs in my family, and taken care of them when needed. With my own dog, I do everything for him, from baths, playtime, walks, roadtrips, cuddle and I love him, his medical care is up to date and I always make sure he's happy and healthy. I've also watched over friends dogs and cats, and follow all the rules I've been given, every dog ans cat is different and unique and deserves the same respect and care. I am available weekdays after 5:30pm (except for Tuesdays) Weekends I'm usually available, I can be flexible with my plans. I do update my schedule regularly. I cannot dog sit in my home. But I will love to walk your dog(s) in your neighborhood, take them on a hike, take them on drives, as well as staying over for a few hours. I'll follow your rules with no problem and I'll give my outmust attention, respect and love to your dog(s). Meet and greets would be preferable. As well as letting me know of any health or behavioral concerns your dog(s) might have so I can give individualized care.

Molly is prompt, kind and a true cat lover. She was sensitive to my needs as well as Priscilla’s. This was important to me because it was my first time having a cat sitter. She is flexible and willing to accommodate small changes in the schedule. I would definitely hire her again.

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 .
