“Thank you! George seemed very happy when Haylee visited him durning my trip. Everything was completed as requested during her visits. Definitely would recommend Haylee to care for George again!”
“Maggie rocks! She insta-bonded with our very people-shy kitty and was so sweet with her and took care of every little detail. I wish we could leave more stars. Will book again if at all possible”
“Catherine did a great job! She answered my pet sitting request in minutes and came to pick up key and meet my cat, Zoe that same day. She was punctual for drop in visits and did all that i asked. I will request her services again! -Natalie G.”
“Carrin is very professional, dependable and loves animals! It’s always a bit stressful leaving your fur babies with someone they don’t know. Our kitties warmed up to Carrin at her first meet and greet visit. She made certain that they ate and were loved while we were gone. She communicated with us in a daily basis. We will definitely ask her to pet sit again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Natalie and couldn’t recommend her more! She took great care of our dog, Hazel, during a drop-in visit and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Natalie was incredibly communicative, dependable, and attentive, keeping us updated throughout the visit. She was also wonderful with our cat, even though caring for her wasn’t part of the scheduled visit! It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We’re so glad we found someone we can trust with our pets and would absolutely book with Natalie again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Adriene was fantastic, very communicative. sent me many pictures, she was able to give medicine to one of my cats and my cats loved her! I will have her looking at my cats in November again. Strong recommend her!”
“Michael was so great with my boys that I've already booked with him again. He sent photos, videos, and updates with every visit. My cats can be a little shy at first but I could tell from the videos that warmed up to him very quickly. I could tell they were in good hands which helped make my trip more enjoyable, since I didn't have to worry about them. When I got home, both of my guys were calm and relaxed. Clean litter box, clean food dishes, and a full, clean water fountain. I can't recommend Michael enough.”
“Nicole is amazing! This is the 2nd time she’s watched our cat, Chrissy. She truly spends time and engages with Chrissy. We will absolutely book her the next time we need care for Chrissy.”
About: Hello my name is Blake and I am a veterinary student starting veterinary school in 2027. I grew up with veterinarians as parents and took care of a wide range of animals and I am comfortable administering medication. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and love caring for them and will treat your pets just like my family! I also have pet reptiles and fish and have experience with many species of small mammals and birds if you have any exotic pets that also need care. I am happy to play with your dogs and cats, go for walks, do home visits, feed your pets, administer medication, clean litter boxes, and whatever else you may need. I have a more flexible schedule until I start veterinary school and can be available most days. If you need pet care at odd times I can probably fit you into my schedule. I have a fenced yard at my house and have a friendly golden retriever, Trinity. If I board your dog they will have a friend to hang out with while you’re gone and will be in safe hands!
About: I have a Saint Bernard, three cats and a fish tank! I’ve had animals since I was born. I love them more than anything! They are my babies and I will make sure your babies are taken care of. I’m experienced in giving animals injections and medications as all my pets need all the above. I’ve also had small dogs as well. So I’m well experienced in all sizes! I’ve baby sat for many friends and family members who have asked me to return watching their fur babies many times. I’m extremely punctual, over communicate, and follow instructions that are provided to me. I’m not afraid to pick up the phone to call you incase I have a questions or concern! I’ve been told I’m loyal and very trustworthy. I currently quit the corporate world and I work for my fiancées company here at my own home! I’m available almost all the time! I will care for your pet in your own home! I’m comfortable going into new places and getting to know your fur baby. I feed and walk mine 3x a day as well as give them shots daily and give them medication. I’ve also taken care of many dogs and cats from friends and family who have asked me back many times!
About: l've cared for dogs and cats for most of my life, including my own pets and those of friends and family. I also worked as a dog washer at a doggy daycare, where | handled dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. That experience taught me how to stay calm, read body language, and help anxious or high-energy dogs feel comfortable and safe. I'm attentive to routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I'll treat your pets with patience, kindness, and the same care I'd want for my own. I currently have a very open and tlexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I'm available for drop-ins, walks, daycare, and overnight care, including weekends and short-notice bookings. I can easily adjust to your pet's routine and needs. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I pay close attention to body language, routines, and individual needs to help pets feel secure and relaxed. I have experience handling dogs with different energy levels and temperaments from my work at a doggy daycare, and I always provide patient, attentive care in a calm environment.
“Brooke was super accommodating with my last-minute request! She was great with my shy cat and kept me updated with pics and status updates. So glad she could help!”
“Angela took such good care of my two cats last week! I had the same pet sitter for 20 years and she decided to move out of state after covid, so I had been concerned about finding someone that I could truly trust with my boys. Angela came to meet me and my fur babies a week before my trip (which was to include 5 days with no internet or cell service). She was clearly full of energy and passionate about animals! Angela asked all the right questions and it was clear that she was genuinely interested in getting to know my cats. She didn't just feed them and scoop the litter box; she brushed and played with them, sent lots of photos and wrote detailed notes for each day that she visited. I consider that above and beyond all expectations. But the most difinitive sign that she was wonderful with my boys is that when I returned, it was obvious that they were both really calm and content. I'm not convinced they even missed me!!! I will definitely book Angela again!”
“Joanna took great care of our kitties while we were out! When we got back, our kitties were in good spirits :-) she went above and beyond in taking them outside, putting on bird tv for them, and ensuring their food bowls were cleaned / water refreshed. Would recommend!”
About: I have been caring for pets professionally for two years, but my love for animals has been lifelong. Friends, family, and clients have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while they’re away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, as well as cats who need gentle attention and companionship. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or providing extra care for senior pets, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m also experienced in administering medication and following any special care instructions to meet each pet’s unique needs. Pet care is my full-time job, so I have a flexible schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs. I offer in-home pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking throughout the week. Whether you need someone to stay with your pet while you’re away or just need a check-in during the day, I’m here to provide attentive and reliable care. I take pet care seriously and always ensure a safe, stress-free environment for your pets in their own home. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medication schedules, and exercise needs. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while their owners are away, giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands
“I booked in-home care with Wanqing for the two foster kittens I'm caring for while I was away for 11 days, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From the very beginning, communication was prompt, clear, and reliable. Before the booking even began, Wanqing took the time to come meet the girls and do a walkthrough of my apartment, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Throughout my trip, she sent thoughtful daily updates along with photos. Since the kittens weren't used to her at first and spent a lot of time hiding, I really appreciated how patient she was. She even took the initiative to research kitten behavior, ask friends for advice, and bring over different toys to help them feel more comfortable. That level of care and dedication meant a lot to me. When I returned home, the girls had grown so much. They were happy, healthy, and noticeably more social. As someone fostering them with the goal of finding them loving forever homes, continuing their socialization while I was away was one of my biggest concerns, and Wanqing did a wonderful job supporting that. What stood out most was that her care didn't end when the booking did. She followed up the next day to make sure I had arrived home safely and that the girls were settling back in well. Overall, I'm so glad I chose Wanqing. She genuinely cares about animals and their well-being, and it shows in everything she does. I would absolutely trust her with my pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, patient, and dependable pet sitter.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Before I moved from my family I was a pet owner of two dogs myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. Whether it’s an energetic walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also experienced in administering oral medications and am happy to follow any special care instructions to keep your pet on their regular routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to give pet parents peace of mind through dependable, compassionate care. I’ve dog sat and cat sat before for friends, family and clients and have loved them all the same. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and can often accommodate different schedules and last-minute needs. I enjoy spending time with pets and love having the flexibility to make their care a regular part of my day. I care for every pet as if they were my own, I make sure to follow their individual routines and needs. In a client’s home, I keep their space clean and comfortable, follow feeding and walking schedules, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications when needed and will always keep owners updated with photos and messages.
About: Most recently had two yellow labs both over 100 pounds and at the same time an orange cat. I am looking forward to caring for your family member and making a new friend with them. I am also a horticulturist and can take care of your plants while you’re gone as well. I currently work full time so I would be free during lunch and after work to check on your babies. I can also take care of them most weekends. My cat is too jealous for me to invite others over so I would prefer to come to your house. I’d love for them to sleep over but that’s not in the cards

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - University Park
I had such a great experience with Maya! She took amazing care of Autumn while I was away and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. Her communication was excellent, and I absolutely loved getting so many pictures and updates throughout my trip! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Autumn was happy and in great hands. I travel frequently for work, so finding someone reliable and trustworthy is really important to me. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!
Rory is THE best. She is incredibly reliable and communicative and does a great job checking in on my cats whenever I am away. One of my cats requires an inhaler twice a day, and Rory always does exactly as required. I really have such a piece of mine whenever I am out of town because I know my cats are in great hands. And, they love her!
Michael was so great with my boys that I've already booked with him again. He sent photos, videos, and updates with every visit. My cats can be a little shy at first but I could tell from the videos that warmed up to him very quickly. I could tell they were in good hands which helped make my trip more enjoyable, since I didn't have to worry about them. When I got home, both of my guys were calm and relaxed. Clean litter box, clean food dishes, and a full, clean water fountain. I can't recommend Michael enough.
Trynne is the best!! She always goes above and beyond to care for our cats. She also sends very detailed updates and takes the best pictures. You can genuinely tell that Trynne has a passion for animals. My kitties and I look forward to our next visit with 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
