“I was new to Rover, and Mary Beth was my first pet sitter (two cats). She helped me through the first introduction process etc. and was very responsive, clear, and helpful. She did a wonderful job dropping in on my little kitties, and I will definitely be requesting her again upon my next trip.”
“Laura is a sweet and attentive person who is a pleasure to talk to. The pets all come to greet her when she comes over and she gives them lots of love. She goes above and beyond regarding what I needed and doesn’t rush. Thank you so much.”
About: Animal lover for life! Growing up with cats and dogs gave me an early foundation in animal care and communication (the non-psychic kind 😄). For the past three years, I've volunteered with Guide Dogs of America, socializing and training puppies from 4 to 8 weeks old. This work has deepened my understanding of dog behavior, development, and trust-building from the very earliest stages of life. Cats hold a special place in my heart too. Years of living with them taught me how to read feline body language, respect their independence, and create a calm space where they can be comfortable. Friends and family turn to me as their go-to sitter, and I bring that same dependable, loving care to every animal I meet. I come to your home, keeping your pet in their own familiar environment so they stay relaxed, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away. As a yoga and piano teacher, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I have two dedicated teaching days where my availability is limited, but the rest of the week I have generous windows of free time- perfect for popping in, spending quality time with your pet, and making sure they feel loved. Since I provide in-home sitting, your pet stays in their own familiar environment the entire time. I follow your established routines: feeding schedules, walk times, sleep spots, and any special instructions you leave. I treat every home with respect and keep safety a top priority, making sure gates, doors, and any pet-proofing measures stay in place throughout my visit. Your pet's comfort and security always come first.
“Ashley helped with a last minute booking for my kitty Stella, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Stella loved her and was well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“I'm so thankful to have found Jessica on Rover! She and her family took excellent care of my kitty during their drop in visits. Great communication and she even sent me photos to ensure me that my cat was doing well. I will definitely rebook the next time I travel.”
About: I have owned many animals my whole lifee, so I have plenty of experience with animal care. I’ve pet sat for many neighbours as well as family and friends on multiple occasions and absolutely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds!! :)) I am available all days of the week for long or quick check ins, and walks. I do have class just for an hour twice a week. But that’s guaranteed not to intervene with any sitting time!! When checking in on your fur baby, I’ll be sure they’re well fed, hydrated, and gets lots of play time and plenty of attention. I’ll be taking care of any special requests for your pets if needed!!
“Megan and her family provided exceptional care for Ollie, ensuring he was treated as one of their own. If you are feeling anxious about leaving your pets, rest assured that they are in good hands. I was in a bind and they came through for me. Thank you very much! I will use services again. 😇”
“Jasmine was so great! She provided awesome updates while I was out of town. My cat can be stressed when I’m gone and it was comforting knowing Jasmine was taking care of her while I was away. I will definitely be booking her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Carly, a lifelong cat lover with hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’m also actively involved in cat rescue, fostering, TNR, and helping community cats, so caring for kitties is truly a big part of my life. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your cats while you’re away. I’ll treat your kitties like my own and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while keeping you updated along the way. 🐾🩵 I’m available for early-morning visits and weekday visits after 5 PM. On weekends and holidays, I have open availability and can accommodate multiple visits throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine whenever possible! 🐾 Safety is always my priority. With my own pets, I maintain clean feeding, water and litter areas, monitor behavior closely, and make sure everyone has a comfortable, secure space. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their routine and instructions, double-check doors and gates, and watch for changes in eating, bathroom habits or behavior. My rescue experience has taught me to be patient, observant and especially careful with shy, nervous or escape prone pets.
“Casey watched our two cats for us while we were away for a long weekend. She was awesome, taking great care of them and also playing with them and keeping us updated with lots of pics! Would happily use her again or recommend her to anyone for catsitting.”
About: I have experience with many types of animals in the past few years. From large dogs such as huskies, golden retrievers to bulldogs. To smaller dogs such as Shih Tzu, Frenchies and even new born puppies! I also have experience with bird care and rodents. A love for animals means to give them the best quality care. I am currently working part time with mid day-closing shifts. I tend to have 2-3 days off a weeks, which allows me to be able to have dedicated time to take care of people’s furry babies. I am very aware of my surroundings so when it comes to client homes. I’ll keep a good eye on not just the pet, but the care for the home. Any loose toys, objects or cables will be protected and remain out of sight of the pet for their safety. I’ll take care and make sure your pet has the fun they need, while maintaining a tidy home.
“Shannon was so sweet and able to take my cat last minute for an overnight stay. My cat felt very comfortable and immediately acclimated to her home. She sent photo updates and responded quickly! I’d definitely book again.”
“Sarah checked in on my cat for a week and was great at communicating about her visits with pictures. She gave my cat all of the pets and attention and care that I could have hoped for! Book her for your pet today!”
“Denise was awesome. She was super flexible with timing, very thorough and thoughtful in our meet and greet, and sent great updates throughout the day! Nora came back happy and relaxed.”
“Soleil was AMAZING, and I genuinely cannot recommend her enough! She took such wonderful care of Lemon while I was away at a conference, and I never had to worry for a second. She was reliable, communicative, incredibly sweet with Lemon, and just made the whole experience so easy. She also went so far above and beyond what I asked her to do. I came home and realized she had cleaned my cat’s litter box AND taken out the trash—neither of which was remotely part of our arrangement! It was such a thoughtful surprise after a long trip, and honestly just says so much about the kind of person she is. I came home to happy pets and a home that had clearly been really cared for, which is about the best feeling you can have after traveling. Soleil is kind, thoughtful, dependable, and an absolute gem. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to basically anyone who will listen. Lemon and I are officially huge Soleil fans!”

Mary Beth took excellent care of my senior cat. She was patient with him and ultimately he was able to trust her. She came twice per day and followed the pet care instructions. My cat was well taken care of and he looked good. I would definitely recommend Mary Beth!
Kaley has been amazing from first contact all the way through. Cha cha was super comfortable with her right away. She is prompt with communication and visits, follows everything to the letter and more, and takes the most amazing sets of photos. I could tell Cha Cha was relaxed and not stressed at all when we got home. She very obviously understands the nuances of how cats communicate comfort and needs. I most certainly will book her again.
Maddy followed through with everything we asked. Reptar is a little jerk to new people sometimes but she was able to get him to come out, play a little, and become friends with him by the end of his care. He didn’t have any accidents when I came home which is the best thing I could ask for since he’s likes to when I’m out of town to make me know he’s mad with a stranger. That just shows how great she was with him. would definitely book her again!
Sofia was an excellent pet sitter. I was traveling for 3 weeks out of the country and Sofia dropped by every other day and took car of my multiple cats. The cats are a handful and one required medication and Sofia did a great job. She fed and watered them as well as cleaned their litter boxes. Three of the cats hide in my sofa and she aways looked in it to make sure the three shy cats were there and ok. She also proved updates and pictures of the various cats which I enjoyed looking at from across the world during my vacation. I would highly recommend Sofia for any of your pet sitting needs.
I would highly recommend Alisa and wouldn’t hesistate rebooking her services. She was communicative and easy to work with. She took great care of our pets and sent photo updates to us which reassured our smallest members of the family were well taken care of. Thanks Alisa!
Jadyn was professional, trustworthy, and communicative. When my cat first met her, he warmed up to her immediately, and I felt comfortable during the time I was away. Jadyn sent me daily updates and pictures which let me know he was well cared for, and put my mind at ease.

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
