“Gabby was absolutely wonderful to hire for cat sitting. She communicates well and she is very thoughtful. She takes care in everything she did while taking care of Astro and even helped us with some odds and ends. I would highly recommend hiring her for pet sitting and will be booking with her again 😊”

About: I absolutely love to care and play with dogs! Throughout my time working with dogs I have given dogs medicine and now have special experience of watching them and caring for them. I have a dog of my own he is an Old English Sheepdog and lives with my parents. I have cared for cats and other animals throughout my life as well. I must note that I love big dogs and have experience with extra large dogs including Mastiffs, Newfoundlands, and Dobermans. however, no matter the size of your dog or puppy I’ll take special care of them, from Great Dane’s to Basset Hound’s to Chihuahuas! I am good with puppies and with older dogs. I do my best to give oral medication if needed. I would love to be the one to take care of your fur baby and can be flexible with scheduling! I am currently a college student in Detroit. I have classes 3 days a week. When I confirm a booking I commit to staying with the dogs as much as possible. I care for pets outside of my home by making sure they are comfortable with me, playing with them but knowing when they are aggressive or not. I also give some very good scratches.
“Libby watched our cat, Ms. Fluffenbutters (our son picked the name), while we were away for a week, and she did a fantastic job. We recently installed a video doorbell, and each day around noon-1 PM, I would see Libby was coming over to see our kitty. She spent 20-30 min each visit, and she provided pics to show that Fluff was alive and doing well. When we returned, the litter boxes were cleaner than any other pet sitter had left them, and Libby had cleaned out the food containers before throwing them away, so the house smelled good. I definitely intend to hire her again when we go on our next trip.”
“At the meet-and-greet, Mason took an immediate interest in my cat, and asked a couple of good followup questions about her health and wellness. While taking care of my cat, she followed the instructions perfectly; I came home to a calm cat, and my house was exactly as I left it.”

“Dana did such a fantastic job taking care of my three cats! She is a great listener and she did everything my cats needed and more. She is such a kind person, and you can tell she really loves cats because it shows in how she cares for them. I was really nervous to leave my cats for a week but with Dana taking care of them, I knew I didn’t have to worry about a thing while I was gone. She sent me a report card with lots of pictures after every visit, which made me feel so much more at ease on my vacation. She really went above and beyond for my cats and I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am for her hard work while I was gone. Dana, you’re the best and I appreciate you so much!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Personally I have always had a dog as a pet. I am always the person family or friends call when they need someone to watch their pets. I currently work a fully remote full time job. I am able to tend to your pet in the morning and evenings. Occasionally I am also able to take breaks at work where I could get a walk in. I am able to care for pets at your home or in my home for the day if your dog gets along with cats. They say dogs are the best judge of character and I've never met a dog that didn't like me!
“Max is awesome! He goes above and beyond to make your fur baby feel loved and taken care of. He sends pictures daily which is so comforting when being away for a long period of time. Great communication and he connected with my cat so quick. When my cat is usually so guarded and shy with new people. Would definitely recommend his services!!”
“Katherine is AMAZING!! She was super diligent to send me photos, extremely helpful and truly cares about fur babies. I’m so happy I found her and I am comforted to know that when I need help with my little furry one I know just who to call!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Troy
Eden was very personable and confident, which I greatly appreciated because I have a diabetic cat. It’s very hard to find a sitter who can do subcutaneous shots and she was completely open to learning. In addition she offered to water my flowers and take out the garbage. I highly recommend her!

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 .

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 .
