“Ni was great with my cats for a week. She sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. She administered my cat’s daily inhaler and even cleaned up pee and hairballs! I will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve had a dog of my own who will always hold a special place in my heart. 🐶💕 I’d love to give your pup the same love, attention, and care they deserve! I work full-time, but I live very close to home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to check in on your babies throughout the day. I’ll make sure they get regular walks, attention, and care while you’re away! I have two friendly cats who are happy to keep your pets company! 🐱💕 If your pet prefers their own space, I also have a spare bedroom where they can relax comfortably and have some quiet time. I’ll always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: Hi there! I love animals and have been dog sitting since 2012! I myself have owned dogs growing up and adopted a cat named Albus in 2014! I also have experience with fish, bunnies, chickens, geckos, chameleons, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and frogs! I previously volunteered at a local zoo putting together meals for animals so I had plenty of experience with meal prep and feedings, even with live food. If you are not seeing availability for what you need please message me! Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to do a formal interview! I work weekdays between 8 and 5. I am free after work on most Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and after 7pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. House sitting may be limited to the weekend depending on my work schedule. I may have some flexibility with advanced notice, please feel free to message me if you aren’t seeing availability for what you need. Most of my availability will be during weekends at any time of day. I love playing with animals and will happily keep them entertained! I also will give plenty of pets and affection if you pet enjoys that! I have worked with many dogs and cats of all ages and levels of energy and can accommodate accordingly! I love snapping photos (if ok’d) of your pets to share with you!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since moving to virginia, for friends and family since I work from home. Especially during the holidays or working hours I am free to help with your pets. I currently work from home so I am free during the weekdays during working hours. I can also do weekends and house sits. Thank you! I have a senior calico and a very clingy black cat so I understand how every cat has a different personality. I don’t rush or force myself in my cats personal space. This is why I feel like my cats and other peoples cats feel comfortable with me to ask for pets and I enjoy playing with them.
“Sophie totally blew me away, once again! I can’t recommend her services enough. She is so kind and so good to my cats when she’s with them. I was gone for 17 days out of the country and I never once felt like I needed to worry about them. When I returned, my apartment was cleaner than I had left it. Every instruction had been followed closely and Sophie even washed my sheets and remade the bed so I had a fresh bed made when I got in from a long, late flight. If you’re considering Sophie, just book her! You won’t regret it.”
“Yun took really good care of our cat Winnie. It usually takes Winnie some time to get used to a new place, but he seemed to adjust quickly and became quite comfortable at her house. Yun was really good at communicating, keeping us updated daily with pictures and texts. Just knowing how happy and relaxed Winnie seemed to be with her made our vacation better. We really appreciated how well Yun took care of Winnie and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!”
“I reached out to Anne to come do a few drop ins with my cat while I was away for a weekend with my husband. We did a virtual meet and greet ahead of time and Anne asked good questions! We were looking for a rover somewhat last minute and Anne was flexible and accommodating. We got updates and photos from Anne while we were gone which we appreciate very much.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Tatum provided for my cats, Jerry, Riley, and Joey! From our first meet and greet visit, Tatum impressed me by taking detailed notes to ensure Jerry, who is diabetic, received his correct insulin dose. Her attentiveness and precision made me feel confident that Jerry would get his shots on time, twice a day. Throughout my time away, she kept me updated with adorable photos and notes, which really put my mind at ease. When I returned, all three cats were relaxed, happy, and well-cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend Tatum to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive cat sitter-she truly treats pets like family! I will definitely book her again.”
About: I have been a pet owner all my life, and have spent many of those years watching over dogs for friends, family, neighbors, and many more. I gained experience through several years of training as a veterinary nurse at two high volume animal hospitals in the Seattle area, and have been partnered with Rover for quite some time now. That being said, I love my fuzzy creatures and have learned a good deal about how to provide excellent care to them. I live an active lifestyle, and would love to bring your dog along on hikes or frequent walks, just as much as having nights inside with them to wind down and to relax. I work remotely, giving me the flexibility to make frequent trips back and forth to check in, so your dog would never be left alone for too long. I work full time remotely from M-F and am free on the evenings and weekends. During the week, I am able to make drop-in visits during working hours to nearby clients as well. I always want to respect my client's privacy and personal space, so I stay professional whether it comes to staying overnight or dropping by. I'm happy to play outside with your pup in a fenced in yard or outdoor park, or inside in a roomy area where everyone can play safe and fun.
About: Hello! I'm Valentina! I have experience caring for pets of different ages and needs, including my 10 year old cat and my sister’s 4 year old dog. Most recently, I cared for a Giant Schnauzer puppy right through his crazy growth spurt, from the day he came home at 3 months old all the way until he was 7 months old! Working with a high energy, big pup takes a lot of patience, consistency, and structure, so I kept him on a solid daily routine with twice a day walks to burn off that puppy energy and practice good leash manners. I’m also a very active person and genuinely enjoy being outdoors, walking, and staying on the move, so I love being able to bring that energy and enthusiasm into caring for pets. I have a flexible schedule and I’m generally available for walks and drop-in visits in the morning from 7:30 to 9:30 AM and in the afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30 PM. I’m happy to be flexible and work around your pet’s routine whenever possible. A little advance notice is always appreciated so I can plan my day and make sure I can give your pup the time, care, and attention they deserve. I love caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and stick to their familiar routine. I find that pets tend to feel more relaxed and at ease in their own space, especially when their owners are away. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, or any special instructions, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away.
About: I’ve been surrounded my dogs and cats my whole life. Typically I pet sit for friends. The pets I’ve watched are mainly dogs and cats but I’ve also done reptiles, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc. I had my own dog for 1 year and a half. We loved outdoor walks, hikes with couch snuggles mixed in. Most common breeds of dogs are Retriever, Pitbull and German Shepherds. Currently have open availability for any day of the week and any time! Open to extended stays and any length of time needed to watch. I’m not able to have pets in my home but I can come to yours and know plenty of parks in the DMV area.
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I've watched my neighbors, family, and others' pets, making sure they are getting the top-notch care they deserve! Animals have always been a constant in my life, and I can't remember a time I didn't have any pets around. I work to build a connection with every animal I work with so that they feel comfortable until their human returns home. I've cared for pets big and small, and will always make sure owners get the updates they deserve. I am very flexible in my schedule, as I am a current college student. I have plenty of time in my day to make sure your pet is well cared for! In my home, I have a fenced-in yard with a designated dog area. I have plenty of room inside and outside so that your furry friend will feel comfortable. As for my client's home, I will make sure to understand the rules and boundaries for any animals I am caring for.
“Lina is extremely attentive and caring towards our pets. Even our usually shy kitty has learned to come and greet her at the door. We feel at ease leaving our pets knowing they are in the best hands!”
About: Throughout my life, me and my family have constantly had dogs and cats in and out of the house, ranging from small puppies/kittens to largest dogs. I’ve rescued so many animals with my mother and it has become a norm to be around multiple at a time.I love being with animals and enjoy spending time with all types. I’m a college student so I do have an unusual schedule but am always free on weekends and many other times during the week. I can feed, play, or walk any animal and can adjust to all personalities. I can ensure that whatever instructions you give me I will do my best to make them happen and make sure you animals is well taken care of.
About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life. From dogs and cats, to goats, ducks, and chickens, I’ve experienced raising and taking care of many different animals. Currently I’m working as a server while also attending NOVA, so I have plenty of free time to devote to taking care of your pets! I have a small but fenced in back yard, and plenty of trails behind my home for walking any dogs I dog sit. I have two well behaved kitties that love any other cats and plenty of space indoors for them. I take care of other pets like they are my own, I’ll treat them with love and respect!
About: Over the years I have taken care of many different kinds of animals including dogs and cats (of which I've owned two of each), guinea pigs, mice, and more! In my veterinary science classes, I learned a lot about the handling of dogs, cats, and small animals and got lots of hands-on experience working with dogs during weekly grooming days. Previously, I have worked in a dog hotel as a kennel assistant where I provided many different services for dogs including feeding, cleaning and walking. Along with this, I also often pet sit for my friends and family :D I have a good amount of time on weekdays to look after pets. If anything pops up that will be communicated through messages or on my calendar 👍 I have experience working with a variety of tempers in dogs, cats, and other animals. I'm very patient with nervous/shy animals and can match a higher energy as well.
“Wonderful wonderful wonderful! Michelle is a cat whisperer in the true sense. My Belle warmed upto her immediately & she took great care of her & the house while I was away for 2 weeks. I highly recommend her & can't thank her enough for the love & care she gave my Belle.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Strathmeade Springs
Alexis did such an amazing job with my senior cat, Cayenne. She gave amazing Rover reports/photos and she was able to administer fluids for my cat. He is 19 years old and needs a lot of gentle care and attention. Going out of town is generally very stressful for us to leave Cayenne at home, but he clearly loved her!! I will 100% be using her again if we go out of town.
Abby was simply wonderful. She visited our kitty, Sammie, twice a day to feed her. She and Sammie played, purred and took lots of pictures for us to see the smiles. She is so kind and caring and we felt great leaving our almost 16 year old kitty in her care while we were away. She went the extra mile and gathered some stray deliveries and mail for us. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Ten stars for Abby!
We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter Aliso and felt completely comfortable knowing our dog and cat were in such caring hands. She was attentive, dependable, and treated our dog and cat with genuine love and kindness. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!
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).

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.

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 .
