“Alyssa was fantastic! She was very attentive to my fur babies, a perfect communicator, and made me feel very comfortable going out of town knowing my pets would be well cared for. Highly recommend Alyssa!”
“Elisha was really great! She checked in with me daily, made sure my kitties got all the attention they wanted while she was there. I felt very reassured she was looking over then while I was out of town.”
“Noel was absolutely amazing, she helped me so much with the extra requests I had and stayed till it was all done, very receptive and kind and I’d totally recommend booking with her!”
“Wendy was amazing, she paid close attention to detail and made sure to follow all of my directions to a T! She was very communicative and made sure to ask questions when needed. She cleaned my bunny shed and fed them, she provided lots of detail and photos each visit! I will definitely be using Wendy to help me out with my bunnies again in the future(:”
About: Animal lover alert! I have a deep love and connection for all living things, especially cats and dogs. I currently have three, yes THREE, cats of my own. I grew up with very large dogs, and spent a lot of my free time sitting for friends and family. I have experience with baby animal care, including bottle feeding kittens. I have the patience and steady hand for seniors and animals that require more care. I’m not afraid to administer medication or handle behavioral issues. I am responsible, knowledgeable, and have a keen eye for detail. Above all, I love learning and spending time with pets! My schedule is currently quite flexible during the weekdays, and weekends are open for more involved care. Currently, my part time job allows me to adjust my schedule weekly, sometimes daily, since our work is project based. I have the ability to go on day-of walks or quick drop ins on demand depending on the day and time. Your house, your rules! I can accommodate whatever needs are necessary based on the type of pet you have and how your home is set up. I’m happy to uphold any routine! Special instructions are my speciality.
“Rachel is attentive and consistent. Our kitties were well taken care of and we felt better having Rachel visit with them. We will definitely ask Rachel to help us out again if needed.”
“Thank you for taking care of the kitties! You were here on time every time. You put noticeable effort into making friends with my shy cat. Everything was appreciated!”
“Jenna and Jason did an amazing job! Every visit was documented and I recieved meaningful updates with lots of pictures! I will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“This was the first time that we had used Erin, and she was great. She took great care of the kitties, and left absolutely adorable report cards on each one. We will definitely use her again.”
“Chanel was absolutely wonderful watching Shadow while I was away! She sent great updates, took amazing care of her, and gave me complete peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda’s care for my kitties and home continues to be stellar! I am so grateful I found her! She is a great communicator and I feel so comforted knowing she is caring for my furry felines! They love her!❤️”
About: Stay at home doggie dad. Love all pets but dogs are the best. They are our kids and they are spoiled just like a that. They are the only thing we think about. Morning, noon or night they are by our side. Our babies. Never physical punishment but they do get time outs in their kennels if they have been misbehaving. We have a very open floor plan in the house which they run around and the back door is always open for them to come in and out. The back yard is very large with trees and shrubs that they play in and around. It is a fully fenced six foot enclosed yard with plenty of room to roam or run. Last of all no neighbor dogs to annoy them.
“Nicole took excellent care of our kitty on a drop in visit. Super accommodating for a last minute drop on request! Even took the time to come and meet our kitty before the drop in visit!”
About: I’m a huge animal lover and have been around all kinds of pets all of my life! Chickens, dogs, cats, iguanas, birds, snakes, and even rats, ferrets, and guinea pigs. I have two large, energetic dogs of my own (Doberman and a Cane Corso) so I’m very comfortable handling big, strong, high-energy breeds. I also regularly walk and care for my mother-in-law’s Pomeranian, so I’m as happy working with little dogs and their very big personalities! I’m a cat lover originally, so I’m comfortable caring for cats and understand that they have their own personalities, boundaries, and routines. Whether your pet is big, small, energetic, shy, or just wants some company and attention, I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and help keep them happy, active, and cared for while you’re away! I’m a full-time student and also work full-time during the week, so my pet care availability is focused on weekends. I’m happy to dedicate my weekends to walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with your pets! I do not currently offer boarding services. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I’ll also respect your home and keep you updated so you know your pet is safe and happy.
“Krystal is the best. She took excellent care of our kitties, snake, chickens and garden. She has previously taken our pups on some nice, long walks. She’s really responsive, detail oriented and thorough. We highly recommend her!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Thornton
Our animals love Kayli and so do we! She’s incredibly reliable, always sends pictures of our babies, and makes sure they’re taken care of exactly how we ask! We use her for drop in visits when we’re out of town and feel so safe with trusting our home and pets with her :)
Elisha was so wonderful with our fur babies! She was incredibly informative and made sure we had plenty of pictures and updates from her time with them. She did a meet and greet with us and our pets to make sure she knew their quirks and needs. Would highly recommend her services!
Julianne was a great sitter for our two cats. She was prompt with the scheduled timing, followed care instructions thoroughly and to completeness, ensured that our guys were healthy and happy, and would play with them for any extra time she had during the visits. We also really appreciated the pictures of our cats that she’d send after every visit. Our cats get antsy/restless when we get back from weekend trips when we leave extra food/water and forego a check-in, but they were clearly relaxed and calm when we got back: the best sign to see that they were well taken care of while we were away. Thank you again Julianne for your great care of Chai and Bean, and I’m sure they will see you again when we next go out of town!
Carlie always takes the most amazing care of my cats when I’m away! I get detailed updates and plenty of pictures of them which puts my mind at ease knowing she’s the one watching them. She’s also able to give my cat his medicine even when he’s feeling picky. Would definitely recommend.
Marina was my first pet sitter, and left me feeling at ease. She took tons of pictures of my cat while I was gone, left my place in the same condition, wrote detailed notes about how my cat was doing, and even brought in a package that was delivered while I was out. I’ll be rebooking with her next time I take a trip.

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 .
