“Ivan is very kind, detail oriented, and trust worthy as a pet sitter. We have three cats and two of them are high maintenance. Ivan was careful to give our cats their medications and daily walks outside. He played with them and frequently sent us pictures. He seemed to understand just how important our cats are to us.”
“Conner was awesome- we needed someone to watch our elderly cat and bunny rabbit and Conner was an awesome choice! He was a clear communicator and we felt that our animals were very well taken care of! Thanks Conner!!’”
“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Athena twice now, and she’s truly a wonderful pet sitter! She’s incredibly patient, friendly, and has a good of experience for taking care pets. During her four-day visits, she took great care of our cat, and we’re so grateful for her attention. We’re definitely planning to book with her again whenever we need her help.”
“Andriana is a kind and experienced cat caregiver. My cat, Hank took to her right away and I knew right away that I chose the right person. She sent photos, gave timely updates, wrote me endearing details about Hanks behavior, gave him some time outdoors, used a laser toy for him to get some exercise and even bought him a couple adorable cat nip toys for him to play with. She was just what I hoped she would be. I plan on requesting Andriana again in the future. Highly recommended.”
“Isabel took great care of our cat Mayson while my husband and I were away for the weekend. She was friendly, responsible, and sent us lots of photos. When we came back, Mayson was happy and relaxed, and it seemed he didn't notice we were gone at all. Highly recommend hiring Isabel as your sitter!”
“Anna was great with our two cats! Fed them, played with them and cleaned their litters. She also sent videos and the cats looked like they were having a great time! Will book again”
“Sabrina was absolutely wonderful and my cat was well taken care of. It made a world of difference that I was able to rely on Sabrina to take care of my cat while I was away. I will absolutely rebook. The daily check ins were thorough and so reassuring. Highly recommend!”
“Diane was great and so easy to work with and quick to reply to all communication. Our trip dates changed a few times given COVID complications, but she was flexible with accommodating! I loved the daily pictures she sent. Would definitely recommend!”
“Alondra did an outstanding job taking care of Miss Lily. My kitty couldn't have hoped for a better sitter. She was waiting at the door, always happy to see her sitter. I highly recommend the device of Alondra.”
“Mona was super amazing with my cat Bumi, and is very thoughtful with the way she took care of Bumi! She took the best pictures of my cat, and even offered extra visits in case there were any last minute requests I had. I’m super thankful for that! Would definitely recommend.”
“This is my second time hiring Kathryn (Wei) to watch my cats, and this time there was a surprise kitten added to the gang! He has cerebellar hypoplasia and still dealing with the stresses of moving to a new home, he needed more attention and extra care. Kathryn was able to help out and do everything I asked and took such good care of all my cats! Thank you!”
“Judith was amazing! What stood about her compared to other sitters is she asked for a meet and greet. That’s something I would do when I was on Rover! It showed that she truly does care about my kitty and providing the best service. She gave me detailed updates with lots of cute pictures which made me feel calm. My cat was laying on her, headbutting her shoe, playing with her, and apparently greeting her too! Haha. She’s going to be my go to when I travel again. I don’t know why you wouldn’t book with Judith!”
“Xia is every pet owner's dream. I'm very lucky to have found a petsitter that is so kind, attentive and actually cares to learn the little routine and habits that make our pets unique and special to us. She even let me know what TV show she turned on for Bubba because I told her I always keep the TV on for him! I felt so much relief traveling this time around knowing Xia was taking care of my precious cat. She will be my go-to pet sitter for sure.”
About: I've taken care of pets for neighbors, friends and family. I cherish the trust parents and pets put in me because trust is priceless. I want a pet parent to have a worry-free trip if they need to be out of town. I love to spend time with pets and care for them in every possible way, from their diet to their physical and emotional well-being. I've had to take some pets to the vet during a parent's absence and that's why I appreciate and require having care guidelines and vet contacts. I do take pet sitting seriously. I'm gentle, reliable and respectful. I currently have flexibility and can take care of your pets easily. I'm happy to stay overnight at your home so they can keep the same routine and stay in the comfort of their own home. I currently cannot provide pet services at my home. I can provide care for your pets in your home environment. I am respectful in every way, from your beloved pet to your beloved home.
“Sevinj is a great pet sitter. When we had an emergency and needed to change our plans, Sevinj came to our rescue and took great care of our cat. She is a great communicator and responds quickly. We always know our cat is in good hands with her.”
“Elvira did drop ins on my two cats while I was away, they are shy cats but did come out to play with her which is a huge compliment. My extra cautious girl cat even allowed Elvira to pet her!”

Yongzheng has taken care of my cat for 3 separate extended periods now. I can confidently say that she’s amazing and makes my cat (who is typically very shy) feel comfortable. I’d highly recommend Yongzheng for anyone else who is looking for a cat sitter and I look forward to working with her again in the future
Mona was super amazing with my cat Bumi, and is very thoughtful with the way she took care of Bumi! She took the best pictures of my cat, and even offered extra visits in case there were any last minute requests I had. I’m super thankful for that! Would definitely recommend.
Cindy took fantastic care of the two kitties I’m fostering! They’re a little wary of new people but they warmed up to her right away. I loved the thorough updates Cindy provided for each visit, and it made me feel much less worried about having to leave the boys! The litter boxes were well kept, and the boys got great playtime and treats on each visit. Highly recommend Cindy and would definitely rebook her!
I had a great experience with Conner and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. He took wonderful care of my cat, kept me updated, and was very trustworthy. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and everything was in perfect order. I’d definitely book with Conner again!
Jenny was wonderful with Shady! She was very attentive and spent plenty of time sitting with her, giving her pets and scratches, and keeping her company. She sent lots of photos and detailed updates each visit, and took great care of her food, water, and litter. She even brought in an Amazon package for us. Shady seemed really comfortable with her and was noticeably more social by the second visit. Thank you so much, Jenny! Would definitely book with her again.
Anahita was wonderful with our cat! She was caring, attentive, and incredibly kind. It gave us such peace of mind during our trip knowing that our cat was in such good hands and getting so much love and attention. We would absolutely love to have her take care of Ms. Moushi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy sitter!

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 .
