“She took great care of my cat for about three weeks, kept me updated, and were flexible when I had to extend the booking on short notice. I really appreciated the help and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter.”
“Alexandra took amazing care of my cat while I was away for a weekend! She kept me constantly updated with photos and how she was doing and I was never worried about how she was doing while I was away. Anytime I need drop in visits I’ll be hiring her again!”
“Stephanie was wonderful! She checked in with my two boys (Mr.Bean and Franklin) on time each day and provided me with updates. I knew they were safe and extremely well taken care of while I was out of town. Stephanie was timely, communicative, friendly, and followed their feeding instructions without missing a beat! I will definitely be booking again.”
“My seconding time booking Deborah and she’s great! Follows the routine. And plays and loves on your pet! The first thing she said to me once I rebooked with her was “I’m so excited to see her again.” which is something very heartwarming to see when you’re leaving your pet to be taken care of by someone.”
“We just met Lacy a week or so ago and have found her to be extremely comfortable and responsible with my 18 year old diabetic cat. Lacy did not know how to do an injection but was more than willing to come over at my convenience to learn and bond with my frail timid cat, Winnie. We both felt very comfortable and secure leaving our “baby” in her hands. We receive daily reports that left is at ease! I love the photos of my Winnie and would highly recommend Lacy for anyone’s fur babies and now she can do medical injections so that’s a huge plus! Will be using her again and introducing her next to our two German shepherds! Thanks Lacy!”
“I was very nervous to use an app like this since I’m trusting someone with my babies… but Julie put me at ease and was amazing. Both of my kitties were super happy and well taken care of. 10/10 would book again.”
“Larissa is wonderful and so caring for our pups. She paid special attention to our gentle old lady dog and seemed amused by our precocious younger one. Will happily hire her again.”
“Samantha did drop-in visits with our cats. Excellent communication, reliable, kept their food area and litter box cleaned, and took excellent care of them. Would definitely hire her again!!”
About: I have owned my own animals my whole life. I currently have a Doberman who has Addison’s disease and requires daily medication and weekly injections. I worked at a rescue for 3 years when I was in college so I know a lot about dog behavior and care. My husband and I own a small masonry business. I currently assist him on the jobsite when needed but mostly take care of the administrative duties so my schedule is very customizable to your pet care needs I am comfortable working with pets of all ages and in a variety of environments. Wether you prefer drop in visits in your home or long walks with your dog I can accommodate many different options.
“Nora was very attentive during the meet and greet, she asked a lot of great questions. Nora sent adorable pictures of my cat, Tiny, while cat sitting! No complaints. I would book with Nora again!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. I have experience walking dogs, dog-sitting, and house-sitting for pets, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety and happiness! I’m currently in an accelerated nursing program, so I have a structured but flexible schedule. I have two in-person classes for 2 hours each on Mondays and Wednesdays, and clinicals on Thursdays. I’m generally available after 3 PM on Thursdays, and I’m fully available Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their usual routine and instructions closely. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone with both your pet and your home, so I am respectful and thoughtful of their wishes. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, while keeping their environment clean and secure. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind while they’re away!
About: I’ve always had a close connection to animals since I was younger! I currently work at a dog daycare, handling anywhere from 40-60 dogs all in one group. I’ve been a dog daycare employee for the past five years and on top of that do pet sitting for the business as well. I currently work at a dog daycare, we’re only open during the week so I’m fully available on the weekends. I can still do pet sits, drop ins, etc. during the week, although there are some days I work from 7am-6pm, a morning shift for me would be 7-12 and afternoon 12-6. (The only way I would be able to bring your dog into daycare with me is if you signed them up for daycare and went through the interview process) or else I could bring them but they would be sitting in a crate the whole time:( When pet sitting a non daycare dog, if I’m working all day 7-6 I do get an hour lunch break at noon, where I then have the time to run back to the dog to let them out etc. When I stay at a clients house I make sure that before I leave for good everything looks exactly as it did before I got there. Depending on the age and abilities of the dog determines how our time is spent. If it’s an older or not very fit, energetic dog we may just relax in the house for the most part. For dogs with more energy that need to do something, we will do activities based on the clients/dogs preferences. As well as I am an active person and love going hiking on nice days, I’m happy to take dogs for hikes to get some exercise as long as the dog is fit to do so and the owner gives permission.
“Cesar had a great visit with Sadie, Sadie was very informative asked questions regarding Cesar very professional looking forward to future visits and overnight stays with our Cesar”
“Victoria was great with Layla and Adonis. She arrived on time for each scheduled day and provided excellent care to the dogs. We truly appreciate that she was available for the days requested and plan to use her again in the future. Thanks so much Victoria!”
“Allison is just the best! She’s reliable, always keeps us updated with pictures and messages, and always gives our dog the full time. Our dog loves her, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing she's in good hands. Thank you Allison!!”

Susan was great with my 2 cats. She sent pictures of them every day and spent time visiting and playing with them. She also let me know when there were a couple of other issues at my house and she handled them for me. I would highly recommend her as she is really good with pets. I would definitely book with 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.
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 .
