“As usual! Yan does a fantastic job looking after our cat. Nori loves to play and Yan always spends tons of time playing with him and he always looks super happy almost to the point of not wanting to leave. A+++ for Yan”
“Ray was fantastic taking care of our two cats. They were well fed and happy- it was such a relief to know they were in such good hands while we were away. Would love to rebook Ray for the future!”
“Alex was a great cat sitter! She took great care of our boy and we came home to a happy cat! We had a good meet and greet before we left so I knew he'd be all set for when we left! Would recommend hiring again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and taken care of all of my friend’s and family’s animals. I have also walked dogs for a friend who runs a dog walking business. I worked for her for over a year. I currently stay home with my three daughters, however they are all in school. So I am pretty much free during the day most days. I will stay as long as the pet needs for home visits. For walks, I will try to walk the dog for close to 30 minutes. If they can’t/don’t want to walk that long, we can hang out and play in the house.
“Sophie was great with our cat and house! House and cat were both in perfect condition on our return, and Sophie sent us pictures every day and kept us updated on how things were going. I would highly recommend her for house and catsitting!”
“Sydney was great with our girl Scully! She was very attentive, responsive, and we could tell how much she cared! The pictures she sent were always adorable and we appreciated the time that she spent with Scully each visit. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I've been pet-sitting for different families for the past three years, and I also have experience caring for animals on a farm. I love being around animals and making sure they're happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I'm happy to work around each pet's needs. I make time for feeding, playtime, walks, and giving pets attention and care while their owners are away. I'm responsible, flexible, and enjoy making sure every pet feels comfortable and safe. I make sure every pet gets the care and attention they need, whether that means feeding them, playing with them, going on walks, or just spending time with them. I try to stick to their normal routine, so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I also make sure to follow any instructions the owners leave me and keep their space clean and safe.
“Brenna took really good care of my two kitties. She sent great photos of them so I could see they were happy. She even dealt with all the upset tummies from the new food they were trying. I would highly recommend her for your next sitter!”
About: I may be new to cat caretaking, but I pull a lot of wisdom from many cat parents around me! Communication is very important to me and I want to make sure your cat is well taken care of while you're away! I work remotely and can easily stop by to check on your cat twice a day. Google calendar is one of my favorite tools to stay organized! I would like to speak with you first to discuss in depth what works/doesn't work for your pet as well as the rules of your home. Respect is key!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since i was 11, My first one too i’ve been so dotted on. Most of my family would ask me to take care of their dogs too when needed and sometimes overnight if needed i’m currently part time! although i am available through the rest of afternoon, maybe early in the morning infact.Ill let you know more when needed discuss once giving them food and water i do check up every 5-10 minutes to see if they have ate and if did, i do them couple more minutes (est. 10 mins) before taking them out and walking them to use the bathroom. Medication i read the labels and instructions and when it comes to rest i make sure they are comfortable in their own space
“Lina is an outstanding pet sitter. I was nervous to find a new sitter when we moved to the area due to having several pets with behavioral and/or medical needs, but Lina is extremely skilled at what she does. My nervous and reactive dog warmed up to her so quickly during our meet and greet, and my usually shy kitties came to greet her every visit. Lina has such a warm and welcoming energy. She leaves such thorough reports, along with sweet pictures of all my pets after each visit. She even noted a medical concern that I had forgotten to previously mention. She is so attentive, and I’m grateful to have her care for my pets.”
“Sierra took great care of our cat while we were out of town! She was very communicative and sent daily pictures. We would definitely have her cat sit again next time we need it.”
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life! I've taken care of my neighbors' pets growing up, volunteered for 4 years for Jersey State Animal Rescue in their cat room at a local PetSmart helping to get cats adopted, and I've also had a dog of my own for 11 years! I currently work full time 4 days a week, but have Fridays off, so I am available most weekends and nights to take care of your pets! I will do everything I can to make sure your pet is comfortable while I am taking care of them! Whatever you believe is best for them is what I will do!
About: I currently help my daughter care for her dog, Paulo, and her three cats, Chocho, Frida, and Spooky. I walk Paulo at least twice a day and help with feeding, fresh water, medications, playtime, litter boxes, and their daily routines. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and will treat your pets with the same care and affection I give my family’s pets. I recently moved to the area and currently have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. Pet care is already part of my everyday routine, and I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box care, and other routines. I’m patient and attentive and will make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

Ni is amazing and super thorough with all the visits! She sent us plenty of pictures, including pictures of tasks being completed so you get a peace of mind. She is very patient and so good with all of them, our cats loved her, including our skittish girl. We have 3 cats and some of the instructions are not as straightforward but Ni followed them perfectly! Will definitely book her again for our future trips ☺️
Amelia is awesome!!!! Was our first time trying this service and she instantly put us at ease. Kind, caring, and obviously passionate about taking good care of our furry family members. When she stopped by for a meet & greet, they (my 2 enthusiastic big dogs and one nonchalant cat) immediately sensed she was there to engage and play with them and I knew all would be well, and it was!! Already planning her next visit, she’s at the top of our list. (“We love you Amelia!!” - your new best buddies, Kiara, Dakota, and Hunter)
Patricha did a great job taking care of my cats. She took time and effort to gain their confidence and play with them. She was reliable and timely with her visits and great about following directions for feeding, etc. She went above and beyond to leave things neat and clean. She was great about communicating, and that freed me from worrying. When I came home, I found my cats relaxed and happy. Very grateful, and would hire her again (and hopefully will).
I had a wonderful experience with McKenna! I was away traveling, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pets were being well cared for. She was dependable, attentive, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. It was clear that my pets were comfortable and well taken care of while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. I will absolutely request her service again!

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.

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 .
