“Kelli did a great job looking after my cat and home while I was on frequent trips. She was an excellent communicator and showered my cat with love and attention. She was respectful and caring about my home as well often taking in packages that I forgot were being delivered.”
“Summer was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond caring for my two cats while I was away. One of my cats is still a young kitten and is terrified of just about everything, but Summer was incredibly patient, gentle, and understanding. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared about their well-being and treated them like they were her own. I came home to two happy, healthy cats and a clean, well-maintained space. I wouldn't hesitate to book Summer again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Jazmin is 10/10! Absolutely incredible and professional across the board. She treats our pets as if they’re her own. She also goes an extra mile to keep us updated and sends up pictures of them! Highly recommend!!”
“Very reliable! Always provides great communication and is very patient with my dog. You can tell that Janak loves what they do and will always give your pet the attention they need. Highly recommend and will always reach out if they are available!”
“Candace is caring and Muffin loved her! I was nervous to leave my 11 week old puppy for the first time, having Candace come gave me such peace of mind. Great communication, I’ll be doing this again, thank you Candace!”
“Joanna is superb at pet care and communication. She cared for our kitty who is still very young and full of energy and she was perfect for the job! She always is attentive to detail, caring, and compassionate for animals!”
About: “Hey! I’m Loki, a 35-year-old pet sitter with previous experience working for a professional company (‘Wags in the City’ in Charlotte, NC) and lots of happy repeat clients. I recently moved here with my two dogs and I’m used to caring for everything from goofy puppies to senior pets who need a gentler pace. I offer in-home care, walks, drop-ins, and backyard play for dogs and cats, whether you’re on vacation or working long hours. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions your pet needs. Message me with any questions—can’t wait to meet your furry buddy.” Part time walker and sitter availability within 30 miles of The Colony area. Pet care is important to me and I have a lot of experience I want to make your pets comfortable while your at work or on vacation and safety is very important to me. I will care for your furry friend like it was my own cat or dog!
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! Growing up, I had a Black Lab/Chow mix, cats, rats, guinea pigs, and birds, and my brother has a snake. I would often watch them when my parents left town and have also helped friends when they have been out of town. As an adult, I’ve had both cats and dogs, and I currently have two cats of my own. As a mom of four, I have a very full house, but caring for animals has always been something I love. We aren’t ready to add a dog to our family just yet, so pet sitting is the perfect way for me to get my dog fix while giving your pets plenty of love and attention! I’m dependable, caring, and passionate about helping others, and I would treat your pets like part of my own family. Think of me as a loving, dependable neighborhood pet sitter who will treat your pets like family. Now that all four of my kids are in school, I have flexibility during the day to give your pets plenty of love and attention! I’m available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I can also offer evening availability when my husband is home. I’m happy to work with your schedule and help make sure your pets are cared for while you’re busy, working, or away. I love being able to help others while spending time with animals, and I’d love to make your pet’s day a little brighter! As a mom of four and a lifelong animal lover, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have two cats of my own and experience caring for both cats and dogs. I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I’ll take the time to follow your instructions and help them feel comfortable and of course communicate with you about what is best for your animal! I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
“We chose Chloe due to her 5 Star rating and glowing reviews. She definitely outshined anyone or any place we've used before! She was/is a godsend for us and our cat when we left for a trip almost 2 weeks. She was happy and, we know, well fed. We know because we got twice daily photos and comments about everything- how she played, ate, behaved, tended the litter and so much more. For the first time she didn't lose weight but may have gained a bit. In the past, she'd be anxious and loud when we returned after much fewer days. BUT... this time she was purring and loving! Thank you, Chloe. You earned 10 Stars from us!!!”
“Ave always does a great job watching my 2 dogs while I have to leave town. You can always depend on her to show up on time and make sure you feel that your pets are extra taken care of.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I've cared for dogs requiring administration meds, diabetes, skin and eye conditions. I am gentle, caring and firm when necessary. I love taking walks with them and engaging with them for playtime. A happy dog is a healthy dog. I am currently working remotely and have time during the day to monitor and care for your pet in their own home environment and surroundings. I would prefer caring for your pet in your home, a place that is familiar to them that would avoid the anxiety of being in an unfamiliar place. I would discuss their routine with the client to ensure the same continuity of care they would be given if the client was at home.
“Lana went above and beyond for my furr baby! She sends so many pictures. She’s extremely communicative and makes you feel so good about leaving your pet for a bit! Trust me they’re in great hands with Lana! I won’t use anyone else!”
“I've been a repeat customer for Stephanie and she's amazing. She communicates well, and so I never feel worried about my animals while I'm gone. My animals love Stephanie and it seems that they are all over her when she visits. My pet bunny usually gets nervous around people and freeze, but Stephanie seems to be an exception !”
“Ayesha is so patient and kind, especially since one of my cats is skittish around strangers. She made sure he ate and got taken care of. And she was great with my other cats who loved her! She will make sure your animals are taken care of and sent lots of photos, I felt reassured they were in good hands 🩷”
“Mckenzie is the perfect person to watch your loved one! Everything she did was perfect. She even made my my old dog come out and be all peppy and happy and loving. Not that he hasn’t already but she really made him come out of his shell. I highly recommend her. We loved her.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - The Colony
Morgan was wonderful! She visited our cat every day, spent time playing with her, kept her area clean and tidy, and kept us updated throughout our trip. Our cat was very happy, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands so we could enjoy our time away. Morgan is a lovely person, dependable, and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. We’re so happy to have found her and will absolutely use her again!
I will always recommend Sydney. This was my second time booking her to watch my baby. Sydney is always communicative and patient. Even when Elaina (my cat) was being particular this trip (mad at me for leaving again), she still came out of her safe space. That speaks volumes on the kind of person Sydney is.
Laurinda was amazing! This was a bit of a last minute decision and she was super easy to communicate with and very familiar with the fickle ways of cats. I felt very at ease with my little ones in her care. Her updates were wonderful and made me smile with the notes about each of them and the photos. I will absolutely reach back out next time we need someone to check in our cats.
Maria went above and beyond when taking care of my cats! She followed all my feeding and litter box instructions to the letter, and gave extra special care and love to my kitties. I can't recommend Maria enough. She's reliable, communicative, genuinely caring, and treats your pets like her own. Booking her again for every future trip!
I’ve trusted Mahmooda with my cat at my home multiple times when away and look forward to more in the future. She is great at communicating and sending lots of pictures and videos (more than any other sitter!). She’s also great at leaving the space as is. I wouldn’t trust anyone over her!
It was our first time using the app and we have a kitten that we just got that is only about two months old, plus our nine year old dog who takes medication daily, so I was nervous! But Aivy was amazing! She took the BEST pictures of the animals too. Overall great experience.
Melanie is so amazing and sweet! She went above and beyond taking care of our dog and cat. As first time Rover users, we realized very quickly that we had nothing to stress about leaving our babies with her. We will definitely be booking with her again, thank you Melanie!!
Samantha is absolutely WONDERFUL. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to come home from our trips to a clean home and happy pups. Samantha is communicative, responsive, and sincerely makes you feel like taking care of your fur babies is her pleasure. Will definitely continue using her services!
Ella was amazing with my cats! She was communicative and even offered to come meet my cats before watching them which made me feel a lot more comfortable leaving them with her. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and fulfilled my special requests! I will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you Ella!!

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 .
