“I highly recommend Rebekah. I have a cat that needs meds every 12 hours and she was on time every time and always let me know he got his pill. I was able to leave the country and not worry about my fur-babes, knowing they were in good hands.”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats since I was a little kid! I love all animals but have had mostly dogs and cats all my life. I have experience in training my own dogs from puppies into senior dogs and they were spoiled rotten every step of the way. I am currently working a part time very flexible job. I have plenty of time to come walk or play with dogs or feed or spoil and take care of them any way they need. I am only available to care for pets in the clients home. I am reliable, respectful and responsible and will give all the fun time needed for your fur baby.
“Paigg is amazing! My shy cat warmed to Paigg from our first meeting. She is given so much love and affection from Paigg when my life takes me away from home. Paigg is an excellent communicator and is very dependable. We are blessed by her!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have had a better experience. [Sitter’s name] was so friendly and thoughtful with my cat. She sent lots of updates with videos, pictures, and texts that really put me at ease. You could tell she genuinely cared and gave extra love and playtime. She was super helpful and made the whole process easy for me as a first-time user. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a great sitter!”
“Melissa was a joy to have as a sitter for our shy kitty! (I’m only sad that he wasn’t more social!). She is a great communicator, very conscientious, consistent, and patient. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others or to request a rebook in the future. Thank you so much, Melissa!”
“Kristen was so great! She left fabulous notes about her visits and my cats seemed very content and well cared for. She drove very far to take care of my kitties and so couldn’t be more grateful”
“Kayla was great! She shared lots of pictures and videos, and I was confident that my cat, Chloe, was under good care with her. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Mackintosh is the go-to petsitter for my two cats; even the painfully shy one is starting to come out of his shell for some scritches. The kitten can be a bit of a terror, so I'm grateful that Mackintosh takes the time to play with him so he doesn't take that energy out on my plants (or my HDMI cords). The apartment is always exactly the way I left it: clean, tidy, and with two happy kitties!”
About: I have been watching dogs since I was in high school for neighbors but recently took up watching dogs seriously in the last year or so. I worked at a private country club in California for the last year and was very involved in watching members dogs. This included taking them for walks, stopping in for daily visits while owners are away or spending multiple nights, sometimes up to a week staying with dogs. This has included many different breeds ranging from schitzus to giant poodles. I am comfortable with multiple animals. I work from home as a freelancer in the golf industry so my schedule is completely flexible to your needs. I am available for morning walks, lunchtime walks and evening walks. I follow clients directions very carefully and can play with, walk or entertain your dog as long as you request. I love caring for animals.
“Allison was the first Rover sitter we’ve used, and we’re super happy with our experience! She was very responsive, followed our instructions perfectly, and was consistent with visit times and photo updates. I felt confident knowing our cat Chloe was being taken care of while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: I’m a friendly and energetic sitter open to taking care of any sort of animal per instructions! I love to go outside and get excercise/enjoy the sights so your pet will always be in good hands and get plenty of energy out with me! I’ve owned two dogs for half my life and am a devoted caretaker to their every needs. You can be assured that I will treat your pet like my own! I have experience taking care of animals such as cats, rodents, reptiles, and fish. I am open to a wide range of animals. I’m a non-smoker, have my license and access to transportation. I look forward to your contact!(-: My schedule is open and I have my own car so I can be flexible. I will be moving in mid September so for the time being I will open to work. I will not be able to care for pets in my bi e but I am more than willing to care for them in yours. They
“Tabitha is wonderful! So thoughtful and took the time to really follow my dog’s lead to make sure he feels super comfortable (he is really shy). She gives great updates after each check in and leaves everything just as it was left! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Monika was great! She was very responsive, shared updates before heading to our home, and sent lots of pictures during each visit. She was also very flexible when our schedule changed, which we really appreciated. I will definitely book with Monika again in the future and highly recommend her to others!”
“Marissa took great care of our two cats during our weekend away. She charmed even our shy kitty during the intro visit and gave us the peace of mind that they’d have good company while we were away. Thank you Marissa for treating our babies like your own!”

Paigg has been my cat sitter the past 2 times I've gone abroad for extended trips and she's been amazing! I love her photos and detailed visit notes she sends at the end of every visit. I know she is looking out for my babies and giving them all the love she can while I am away. She will be my go-to for pet sitting whenever she's available. Thank you, Paigg!

Sydney was exactly what we needed for our first time SnowBird winter escape. She was punctual despite horrible weather & a challenging driveway. She was resourceful when there were “issues”. Her communication with us was extraordinary. She is already invited back!

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 .
