“My first time using Rover, and Robin was great! She did drop in visits to feed my two cats while I was on vacation. I got daily updates from her and some pics. Even though one of my cats didn't like that there was a stranger in the home, Robin was patient with him. I will use Robin again!”

“Lynne was wonderful - one of our cats is skiddish around people, but Lynne sent pictures of them playing, laying down, eating. It put my mind at rest knowing someone was having fun with them while we were gone. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you Lynne for your time! Our kitties say thank you as well!”


“She went above and beyond to help out with not only my animals but my garden too! Her communication was excellent and she was kind and genuine. So grateful I found a great sitter!”

“Kayla was great! She came in last minute to look after my two very shy cats. Her daily updates and photos helped me relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my cats were in good hands. She was able to convince my timid male to come out of his hiding spot for pets and treats. She even changed the battery in my fire alarm. It was so nice after an exhausting day of travel to come home to a clean house, a functioning fire alarm and two happy cats. I would definitely hire Kayla again”

“We are so happy to have found Karolina! She and our kitty seem to really love each other. She takes such good care of our house, and keeps our kitty happy while we are away. We have no worries when she is there.”

“We had never hired a pet-sitter before, and we were nervous about leaving our cats home while I had to take a 3-day business trip. One of our cats is shy around other people and has weird eating habits. Zane set our minds at ease. She visited with us first and got to know the cats, then she gave us update photos/videos and comments with every visit. She was patient and kind and really took the time to earn our shy cat's trust. We would absolutely hire her again in the future.”

“I went on a week long vacation and feel incredibly lucky to have booked Tye to care for my cat. She sent me lovely updates with photos after every hour long visit and was always quick with a response when I checked in. I arrived home to my cat being his normal happy self and I have no doubt his happiness is a result of the quality attention and attunement Tye brought to all her visits. I recommend her enthusiastically to anyone who needs a sitter - and I hope she'll be free whenever I travel again in the future!”

“Karlee was the sweetest and most caring cat sitter! Every drop-in visit had a loving note and many photos, so I could really tell she cared for my cat. She was very responsive with communications as well. As a Rover cat sitter myself, I was quite impressed and felt better on my first trip away knowing that my cat was in good hands.”

“Amber was absolutely awesome and so accommodating for me and Victoria! I had to extend my cat’s stay for a few days and Amber was so understanding of my situation. Victoria was very well taken care and watched for. Amber was amazing at communicating and sent me a few photos every week of my baby! Thank you again!”

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.
