“Annmarie stayed with my 3 cats (one of which is seriously ill) for 5 days. She administered medication, fed them, played with them and cleaned up after them. She sent pictures and updates multiple times. My house was clean and today when I got home, and most importantly, my cats were healthy and happy. I would absolutely use Annmarie again; she was great!”
“Lizzy dropped in to take care of our 2 cats while we were on vacation for a week. She was wonderful! She took care of everything and sent lots of updates on how things were going. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were being cared for. I'd 100% recommend her!!”
“Angela did such a great job looking after our cat. She made extra effort to care for her. Great communication the whole time we were gone. Went above and beyond. Thank you so much for!”
“So grateful for Emma! She was super responsive and able to accommodate a last minute booking when my normal pet sitter fell through. She kept me up to date with how my dog was doing and anticipated my dog’s needs while I was traveling by asking if I needed her to come earlier or later than planned based on when my flight was scheduled. My house looks exactly as I left it. Thank you for your help with Miso, Emma!! Will definitely be working with her in the future.”
“Ana went above and beyond watching our two boys. She gave them so much love and attention, and she did a bette thin cleaning the litter boxes then even we do. Highly recommend. She’s attentive, organized and we will be using her again!”
“Lauren is great! She was fantastic with our elderly cat (who has since passed) and gave the same wonderful care to our new little dude. Great communication, wonderful person.”
About: My family has had pets for as long as I can remember. They have relied on me to help take care of them. We have always had a family dog and I’ve owned my own cats as well as birds. We currently have 3 cats and 1 dog. I enjoyed helping train our puppy and I am very comfortable around cats and dogs. I am very passionate about caring for animals and I'd love to get to know the individual personalities and preferences of your pets. I have my own transportation and will be completing all of the services myself! I’m currently only working part time so I will have lots of time to dedicate to pet care! I am mostly available weekdays Mon-Thur, and Friday before 3pm I make sure to be fully informed about the specific care that the client's pets need. I enjoy walking around the area and I would love to exercise any dogs that like to go on walks. I will listen to the owner and ensure that animals feel comfortable and safe.
“Ashley took such great care of my three cats! She was very on time for our scheduled drop ins, extremely communicative, and genuinely cared for my cats’ well being. I would definitely hire her again!”
“This was our fourth and longest sit with Summer and we continue to be very happy with her level of service. She makes it easy and stress-free, and I’d recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter.”
About: I have never had a dog of my own which encourages me to find ways to spend lots of time caring for dogs of other owners, and has provided me opportunity to get to know a variety of breeds. I love being outdoors and active, and it's even better when I have a dog with me for those long walks and days in the park. I am very attentive and energetic. I have experience caring for blind dogs. I can offer to care for dogs needing medication, and I can offer dog washing but not any other grooming services. I am currently working only gig-type jobs, and so I have ample flexibility in my schedule to care for your pet. I am generally able to accept same-day bookings, unless I happen to be out of town. When caring for pets in your home or walking dogs, I will consistently share photos. It is important to ensure backyard gates are closed and to be careful when entering a home to avoid a pet getting out. If walking your dog, please share with me their comfort level with other people/dogs, so I can advocate for their boundaries. I also use Rover as a client, so I know how it feels when a sitter has been safe and respectful in my home.
About: From a simple feed, check in and walk, to a week long house sit, I’ve had much experience taking care of all the sweet doggies out there! Having housed a few myself over the years, and a rescuer of one sweet little wiener named Bo, I will care for your best friend the best I can!! I’m a mom to three kids, and while they go to school during the day, I’d honestly love to make a little extra money to be able to support them more with their hobbies and other things they would love to do participate in to enhance their future! Taking care of pets seem like a great way to do that. I thrive on instructions for you pet(s) to ensure I can meet the needs to your little besties as well as satisfying the needs of their parents (you!)
About: I have cared for dogs for many years. I have one of my own, a little rescue Chihuhua boy. He is lots of fun. I also have 2 cats; all rescues. If there is a need to care for both dog and cat I would do well with that. I have many positive reviews that I will post on Rover. I am a quiet, patient and consistent caregiver. I am a semi retired woman who has cared for pets for over a decade. I have a flexible schedule and dependable car. I absolutely love dogs and cats. Small dogs yes. Have fenced backyard. Have friendly pets. My little dog would welcome the company. My cats are very accommodating and my dog's friendly.
“Ellen was a wonderful cat sitter and truly cared about the needs of my three cats! She was very prompt and responsive and went above and beyond what was expected. I would definitely recommend Ellen and would definitely hire her again!”
About: For several years I cat and dog sat for my cousins while they were on vacation, and I occasionally care for my friend’s 3 legged pitbull. For my last job I was I walking a wire haired pointing griffin twice a week. I did this for about 3 and a half years. I myself have a chihuahua and have had cats throughout my life:) Whether it’s all day or just a drop in, I can be flexible depending on what kind of care you’re looking for. We can work together to find a schedule that works for both of us:) Caring for your pet in your home is a level of trust I don’t take lightly, so I want to respect your space and how you use it. Your pet's comfortability and safety is the first priority so having them in a space that they already know can be all the more helpful.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet lover who treats every animal like family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’m patient, attentive, and always tuned into their needs. I’m also a busy mom, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your loved ones in someone else’s care. I’ll always communicate clearly, send updates, and make sure you have peace of mind. I’d love the chance to meet your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a mom, I’m already used to being active, organized, and attentive, so adding walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout my day feels seamless. I enjoy getting outside, staying active, and making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs to ensure they feel secure and cared for. I’m very attentive during walks and visits, always aware of surroundings and potential risks. You can trust me to treat your home and your pet with respect, care, and responsibility.
About: I’ve taken care of cats, I have 2 cats as well! While I was in college my roommates had dogs that I would watch when they would leave or couldn’t come home in time. I’m good with both both cats and dogs. Im currently working part time, I don’t think pet sitting is a job it’s so fun to do so I would love it as a side job. I’m also getting my masters in biomedical sciences right now My pets have access to every inch of the house and are well cared for, toys, scratch post and many treats! I love playing with them, taking them outside, feeding and can also clean litter boxes

My kitties are my family and Heather treated them as much. There was a storm while I was states away and she was only tasked with coming by once a day but she made an extra trip to make sure my cats were safe, not scared and to check on my house. She did this freely and gave me an update. I dont think I worried once the whole week I was away! She plaid and staid longer than she needed too. I received detailed messages after each visit with lots of photos. She was very respectful of my home and she is irreplaceable. Heather is more than a sitter she is our fur-friend! Highly recommend her!
Jerrie's is a true kind-hearted animal lover and my cat Cocoas new friend! She took care of Cocoa when I had to go to a memorial on short notice and although I asked just for basic food and litter duties she went above & beyond to take the time to be sootging and friendly to Cocoa. The pictures she took of cocoa coming out of hiding are so cute and I needed some more photos.
Helena provides excellent service!! I couldn't be happier with her dedication, detailed attention and communication while I'm away. Over the last few years she has taken wonderful care of my adult cats. Now that they have passed, I have 2 new very young kittens so I relied completely on her for the special attention my kittens needed. I give her the highest recommendation.
Erica is the BEST sitter for my cat Pusheen while I was away for over 2 weeks at the end of summer. She was attentive, caring, provide heart warming and great updates on my cat with pictures. Her communication was stellar. She let me know that my cat was in distress during the time i am away (my cat just loves is so much) and hurt his tail. Erica provided yender care to my cat, including putting in collar and medication... this is beyond what is expected from her. She started daily check-in since then, to ensure thay my people loving cat is having enough affections. I am glad that she is available to be there for Pusheen. Thank you so much for all you did, Erica. You truly are the best. I appreciate your caring presence. We would certainly want you to sit for Pusheen again when we are away next time.
Kate did a terrific job and took excellent care of our pets. She went above and beyond what was expected and took the time to bring in a couple packages that were delivered while we were gone and vacuumed up some kitty litter spillage. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and will recommend her to family and friends.

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
