“Joanne stayed with our cats, Charlie and Bear, for a week while we were traveling in Europe, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly attentive and sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of the country. She was wonderful about communicating, asking questions when needed, and making sure both cats received the individual care and attention they needed. She was especially patient and caring while helping our newer cat continue to adjust, and it was clear she truly took the time to understand their personalities and make them feel comfortable. When we came home, our place was in excellent condition and our cats were clearly happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave them and would absolutely book Joanne again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”
“Thank you so much Sarah for listening to my instructions on how to take care of Opal, ensure her safety and respecting my home's cleanliness. I really appreciate all the photos of different parts of the visit and experience with Opal.”
“Stephany came through in a very last minute request. The boys LOVE her and trust her. She’s great and will clean out litter boxes check out everything without being asked. Really glad to have found her and so thankful she’s willing to help out the boys when family events get a little sauce way out in the OC. Highly recommend Staphany for your kitties needs.”
“Catherine was fantastic! She was diligent and the boys totally loved her. She clearly cared not just about doing the usual duties but making sure the cats were cared for and loved. Thank you Catherine! Easy rebooking!”
“Ahliyah took amazing care of my baby. Communication was prompt and she shared pics and video. Thank you so much for giving me a peace of mind while I was away!”
“Genesis was the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! Incredibly communicative, friendly, and thorough. She sent detailed photos for each visit and made sure I knew my kitty was being well cared for. Could not recommend more highly!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who had a number of dogs and horses throughout my childhood. More recently, I have hands-on experience as a dog foster (I adopted one of them too), and volunteer dog walker with a local rescue. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and caring for dogs & cats with different needs, energy levels, and personalities. I truly enjoy building bonds with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for when I am with them. I am currently consulting from home and have the flexibility in my schedule to take your pupper for a walk, or check in on your cat to make sure they are doing well. I’m a responsible, detail-oriented dog mom who prioritizes consistency, safety, and positive reinforcement. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and creating a calm, nurturing environment.
“We love Emily! She is very communicative and manages our old cat’s idiosyncrasies with a lot of patience and understanding. We also really appreciate that she has been willing to accommodate our last minute requests.”
“Galilee and I used this visit mostly to allow her time to get awaited with our home and with our dog, Nyxie. She was prompt, asked great questions and took Nyxie out for a brief walk, which went well. Thanks again Galilee!”
About: I consider myself a dog AND a cat person. I love each animal for their unique personalities and the ways each show love to humans. Whether your pet shows affection with high energy or they take a more cautious approach and make me earn their trust, I have the patience to adapt to your pet’s specific needs while you’re away. My pet sitting experience ranges from giving oral medication to senior cats, concocting special diets, to supervising swimming dogs in their backyard pool as part of their daily exercise routine. I understand first hand that pets are family and I will always care for them as if they were my own. I have a flexible work-from-home schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care for your pets. I’m available for convenient drop-in visits and overnight stays, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide care in your home through drop-in visits and overnight stays, where I can keep your pet in their familiar, comfortable environment. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, maintain their normal routine, and make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’m extremely trustworthy. I’ve house and pet sat for friends, family friends, and complete strangers alike. I’m great with both cats and dogs of all ages. I do well with specific instructions and will follow them to ensure your furry friend is cared for the same way you would. I grew up with a Golden Retriever and a Rottweiler/German Shepard mix. I’m currently available to walk and drop in to care for your furry friend. I know a lot of my photos show animals close to my face. I promise they put them there I would never do that with an animal. For some reason a lot of them do it to me once they trust me (I don’t get it either.) I just think it’s necessary you know that I always let a pet come to me first and I never cross their boundaries. I’m currently dayplaying and temping so I’m available on an as needed basis to drop in (and/or walk them) and care for your pet. I’m extremely respectful of your home and environment. I personally don’t love having strangers in my space so I definitely understand being cautious. I’m really trustworthy. My main focus is caring for your pet so I will respect your home.
“Detta was wonderful! She stepped in on short notice after our original sitter cancelled, and she took such great care of Bodhi during his drop-in visit. Bodhi had an upset tummy, and she followed all of his care instructions perfectly and kept me updated throughout. I especially appreciated all of her notes after the visit — it gave me such peace of mind knowing how he was doing. Bodhi was happy and comfortable, and I would absolutely book Detta again. Highly recommend!”
“alexander was so friendly and easy to work with! he sent lots of pictures and updates with every visit, which was super appreciated. i’d be more than happy to have him help out with my baby girl anytime.”
About: I’ve always had pets of my own and have been caring for animals for family, friends, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I’m experienced with kittens, adult pets, and senior or medically complex animals, including providing around-the-clock hospice care for my own beloved cat after his ataxia diagnosis. I currently share my home with Leon, my one-year-old cat, and Chicken, my 26+ year-old African Grey parrot—both rescues (Chicken was found abandoned and taken in) and very loved. I love caring for pets—cats, dogs, and birds of all types and sizes—and I’m happy to welcome other small animals too, just let me know! I treat every pet with patience, attention, and affection, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I work from home and my schedule is flexible. My goal is always to schedule any services based on the needs of you and your pet(s). I will always follow any instructions on how you prefer your pet to be cared for. Otherwise, I will always care for them in the safest and healthiest way available. The same way I care for my own pets. Leon is an indoor kitty with unlimited access to fresh air and sunshine from his lounging cots attached to our large windows. He loves his wet food, and his meals are on a “flexible” schedule, and no all day grazing. He receives lots of playtime with his humans and more independently. Of course, he gets brushed, not always with a happy purr, but he gets as much as he will tolerate.
“Jacquie was wonderful!! Very communicative, and such a big help. My cat immediately was comfortable with her and it seemed like they had a good time together! Will be rebooking and highly recommend her with any furry friend.”
“Madeline is a wonderful pet sitter and makes me feel at ease that my pets are well cared for when I’m out of town. She also gives my bearded dragon attention and provides a detailed report every time she visits. 10/10”
“Orion was great to work with. We totally trusted him with our dogs and our dog seemed to enjoy him. They looked very relaxed when we came back from vacation.”

Dayna is the best of the best! Always confident my fur babies are in good hands when I’m out of town. Love her written updates on how they’re doing on each day of her visit and the photos she sends of them each day. She makes me at ease and not worry about their well being at all. Book her for your fur loved ones now 😃
Shilo is an amazing caretaker. She’s very thoughtful and thorough with her care for our cat and is extremely responsive to little care requests. She plays, gives out treats, and senses the mood of our cat perfectly. Highly recommend, we’ve used her about 4 times now and will continue to. :-)
Trinity went above and beyond with our 2 cats, who were stressed from a recent move and us being out of town. She was very communicative with any questions or concerns that came up, responded quickly, and provided photos to update us. She did a couple extra tasks on top of what we asked her to do to make sure our cats and house were well taken care of. 10/10, would definitely recommend and rebook.
Victoria is such an amazing pet sitter! She did drop in visits for my cat while I was out of town for 10 days and took amazing care of my girl and went above and beyond by spending extra time with my cat most days, brushing her, and even bringing her a cat tree (since I newly moved in, I hadn’t set mine up yet, so my cat really appreciated this)! Overall a very sweet and kind lady, and a blessing to all animals under her care!
Catherine is amazing and went above and beyond for the care of my cat. When needed she was able to check on him in the event of an unscheduled “emergency” late at night which provided such relief to me while I was away! Highly reccomend her services and will for sure be using her again.

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 .
