“Lukas took great care of our anxious kitty while we were away! We always got timely updates on how Momo was doing so we knew he was healthy and safe. Lukas was very patient and kind with our old and cranky boy, for which we were very grateful. We would definitely recommend Lukas to anyone looking for a pet-sitter in the area.”
“Aly was fantastic with our two cats! She was always timely and kept us updated with great communication. We came home to happy cats and would definitely book with her again.”
“Carol was an amazing sitter for our cat, Peach. She was a great communicator and helped us out over the Thanksgiving holiday. She sent photos of Peach which we sooo appreciated. We would definitely recommend Carol to care for your fur babies :)”
“Took care of my two cats and did a great job! They warmed up to her very quickly even though they’re usually pretty skittish. I came home to find their dishes full and litter clean. She did a fantastic job of taking care of my babies”
“Highly recommend. Abigail was very knowledgeable and thorough, from our meet-n-greet, through the 10 days of caring for our kitties while we were away. The cats clearly loved her because they would follow her around the house every visit! She did an amazing job managing their care, and also took great care of our plants.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was about 4 years old, and am experienced with caring for cats and dogs. Any needs they have, I will take care of them all - from simple company when you're at work, to walks, giving meds and overnight stays! I have experience training puppies too, from potty training to the classic "stay", "sit", "come", "leave" etc. commands. I have a large dog myself so size of your pet is no issue. Anything you're unsure about, shoot me a message! I work full time at a school but am free weekdays after 2pm until around 10pm. On weekends I am free from Friday afternoon until Monday morning so I can do overnight stays too if needed. Depending on the care required, I will feed pets, give them meds, take them outside, play games/fetch/etc., brush them, empty litter boxes and so on. I have had several cats and dogs of my own and cared for many more, so I am comfortable with adjusting to their different personality types.
“Alaina was amazing! She has a wonderful calming presence and her love for animals is evident. Excellent communication and Otis loved her. I would highly recommended Alaina and we will definitely reach out again for help with Otis.”
“Mickala did a great job caring for our two senior cats! Communication was excellent with thorough updates each day. I appreciated the attention to detail and how highly dependable Mickala was. Thank you!”
About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. My journey started with pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family in middle school and grew to volunteering at local animal shelters and working in a boarding kennel to currently working as a vet assistant while at school, pursing a pre-veterinary science degree, giving me experience with animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. At home I have a 14 year old beagle/boston terrier named Pepper who I just adore. I cannot wait to share my experience and love for animals with your pets while you are away :) As I am currently a junior pre-vet at UMass Amherst, my availability lies around my class schedule. I am available most evenings and weekends as well as most early mornings; however, my availability in the middle of the day is a little more limited. Feel free to reach out with times you were looking for, and I'd love to see if I can make it work! I understand that it can be strange for our pets when a new person comes in the house, so I encourage owners to reach out to schedule a meet and greet so I can meet your four legged friends before you are gone, making the process less stressful for everyone involved.
“Catherine is wonderful! My skittish kitty warmed up to her right away, likely because she has so much experience with animals of all kinds that she's great at waiting for the cat to feel comfortable enough to come to her. She sent great photos and updates; I was so happy to find her!”
“Ash took excellent care of our cat, going above and beyond to spend time with him while we were out of town. Our house was spotless when we returned, and our cat was well cared for! We will definitely hire them again!”
About: When it comes to leaving your pet in trusty hands there’s no one better than someone who has fur babies themselves! I know the feeling all to well of needing to head out of town and allowing someone into your living space. I’m happy to help keep some semblance of routine and normalcy for your furry friend while you’re away! Please feel free to share their routine, and favorite things! I work full time in a medical office so I do not have the flexibility of leaving during the day. However I’m free on weekday evenings and the weekends are far more flexible! I am happy to follow routines typically done in your home for your companion while you’re away. Please share any of their favorite treats, foods, toys and spots for pets or belly rubs. As well as things they may fear or hate!
About: I have 2 years of professional experience caring for a pitbull/boxer mix, and have been a pet owner for dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience with young, high energy dogs. I can also add à la carte services to the visit (ie watering a plant, feeding fish, distributing medication). I currently work in education so I’m available after 3:30pm on weekdays and have open availability during weekends. On weekends I can do boarding bookings as well. I have two friendly dogs that can keep your pup company and a dog park 10 minutes from me. There’s a small yard where I can walk dogs around leashed.
About: Growing up, my family dog was epileptic and required a lot of serious attention. Since then, I have watched dogs and cats for weeks during friends and family’s vacations. I currently work a flexible schedule so I can be mostly available to walk your dogs I would just need a heads up on timing! I do attend school so my availability will be changing once the year begins. I can make your dog feel safe and loved while you are away. I can also make sure they get enough exercise as I love to walk and run!

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
