“Marla was amazing and was very attentive to our cats needs. She was very communicative and sent wonderful photos daily. When we arrived home, it was the first time our cat wasn’t angry at our absence. She actually let me hold and pet her, then played with her toys rather than ignore us. I would definitely refer Marla as a stay in cat sitter.”
“I very much trusted and enjoyed having Bridget drop in for visits to help with our 13 yr old Yorkie. She was timely and took care of Lucy as asked for. I would certainly recommend her and I will reach out again as needed. Thank you, Bridget.”
“Traci was very responsive and took great care of my cats. They usually take time to warm up to people but she had them hangout out on the couch with her before I returned from vacation. They enjoyed her care and comfort very much!”
About: Being a certified veterinary technician for 17 years has given me a multitude of experience both medically and behaviorally with animals. I have worked in clinic settings and home settings with animals. I have always had pets in my own home and helped friends and family members with their pets. I can assist with pets with special needs, elderly pets, and young pets due to my vast medical knowledge. I can also help with exercising, basic training, bathing, nail trims, and other basic grooming. I am currently a stay at home mom, so outside of school drop off and pick up, plus some after school activities during the week and some weekends, my schedule is pretty open for bookings. I can be flexible as needed and can schedule on a case by case basis. I am currently only offering to come to your home to do cares. My personal pets are special needs and cannot mix with other animals, so for the safety of your pets and mine, I cannot welcome pets into my home. When I come to your home, I will respect any requests, rules, wishes you have for me to complete or follow when I am there to take care of your pets.
“Kristen dropped in twice a day to feed our cat while we were out of town. She checked in with me each time she went by and even sent pictures of Jude looking fat and happy. Knowing someone was there checking on things made being away from home much less stressful. When we got home everything in the house was just as we left it and Jude was so much more chill than she usually is when we get home. Kristen was very nice and easy to make arrangements with. I would definitely recommend her and will book her again if needed.”
“Amanda was great. Very attentive to the cats, and observant to my house in general. Several days into the stay, she noticed an Ant infestation in my kitchen. She took steps to eliminate the problem without chemicals that would harm the kitties. Pictures and reports were appreciated and something to look forward to while I was away. Lots of play time was included on every stay. I look forward to working with Amanda again.”
“Ali did an amazing job taking care of my cat! He can be a little demanding and she spent a lot time making sure his needs were met. I had peace of mind while I was away, knowing that he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Ali’s services and I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Victoria did an amazing job with Panini! I feel she really went above and beyond. I got photos throughout the visit which I really appreciated. Panini, my cat, was very well cared for and I definitely recommend booking with Victoria!”
“Offered to do a meet and greet before hand that left me feeling more comfortable about hiring someone for the first time to watch my cat. Abbey was very nice, sent photos, respectful of our house, and took the time to win over my elderly cat. She also was able to give my elderly cat her twice a day medication no problem.”
“Panzer loves Brianna! Having her has been wonderful. Her availability is changing and we will be losing her. We will miss her!!! Anyone who books with her is putting their pets in good hands! 🥰”
“This has been our first time ever leaving our dogs home and had someone other than family take care of them. We have two large dogs a German shepherd and a German shepherd mix. Ashley was confident the first time we met her that she could take care of our dogs. She came over and met them multiple times prior to our trip and was so kind. During our trip Ashley communicated with us each day along with photo updates. A storm came through town and dropped some debris on our roof while we were gone and Ashley communicated with us right away and. I can’t say enough good things about Ashley. I would highly recommend her services!”
“Drew did a great job watching three kitties at my house. Litter was always cleaned and the cats were fed and watered. I would highly recommend Drew for all your sitting needs!”
About: Growing up I lived in the country with cows, horses and chickens next door. We always had many cats and dogs because we had the space and they just knew we would take them in if they didn't have a home. I wish I had the space now to have more animals but since I dont, it would be an honor to take care of yours. My experience with animals would be having a cat that needed shots daily for diabetes, a blind dog, dog that had seizures, taking care of friends and family's pets. Some which needed daily medicine or had a lot of energy : ). I ppreciate the trust they have in me to take care of their fur family members. Each pet, like humans, have their own personality. I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule I work with my client's schedule N/A not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, with a special appreciation for senior pets and those who need extra patience or consistency. One of the most meaningful experiences I've had was adopting a 12-year-old cat that developed chronic kidney disease (CKD). I cared for her through nearly four years of treatment, managing medications, hydration, appetite, weight, and daily routines until she passed away just shy of her 16th birthday. That experience taught me the importance of careful observation, consistency, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior that can indicate something isn't right. I also have experience caring for a Yorkshire Terrier and understand the unique needs of toy breeds, including their size, energy, and safety considerations. Several family members and friends have larger dogs that I take on walks and care for when they're away. Professionally, my background is in consulting and project management, which has made me highly organized, dependable, and detail-oriented. I follow instructions carefully, communicate proactively, and believe pet owners deserve regular updates and photos so they can enjoy their time away with confidence. My goal is always to care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care while maintaining flexibility. I currently offer overnight house sitting, typically from approximately 7:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m., when many pets appreciate the comfort of having someone with them overnight. During the day, I may have other work or personal commitments depending on the booking, but I always communicate my schedule in advance so expectations are clear. I strive to keep pets on their normal routines for meals, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and companionship while respecting the schedule that works best for each household. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially seniors or pets with medical needs, and I do my best to minimize disruptions to their daily routine. I am able to pick up your animal and drop them off for an additional fee ($10 / day). When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is maintaining the environment and routines they already know. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, exercise, household rules, and any special care your pet requires. I take time to build trust with each animal, allowing shy or anxious pets to become comfortable at their own pace. Safety is extremely important to me. I pay close attention during walks, keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets for changes in behavior or health, and never hesitate to contact an owner if I have a question or concern. I also treat every home with the same respect I would expect someone to show mine, keeping it clean, secure, and well cared for during your absence. Communication is a key part of my service. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing and can have peace of mind while you're away.

Ali took great care of my cat. She was really loving toward my cat, so the cat came out to see Ali every day she came over. Ali also communicated with me if there was an issue with the house. She let me know when the temperature in the house was too warm, so I was able to remotely turn on the air conditioner, Any time I had a question, Ali quickly responded. I highly recommend Ali as a pet sitter
Marla was so kind and patient with my kitties. She listened to all of my direction and gave them more attention than she even needed to which put me at ease and made it much easier to enjoy my time away. She is a breath of fresh air. I will definitely be hiring her every time I go out of town!
Serenity did a wonderful job looking after our critters. She was timely and spent time with Stella, which is important to us. We received pictures and an update daily, something we also appreciate. Serenity is very personable, and we feel quite comfortable having her enter our home to take care of the rest of our family. I highly recommend her!!

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.

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 .
