“Samantha was great with my 2 cats. She sent us lovely pictures everyday and kept us informed about all their activities which is very important with a sick, senior cat. When we came back after 4 days my cats were very relax like if we had never left which is a total relief. I am planing on using her services in the near future again and I highly recommend her.”
“Watching my cat clan is basically a full-time job, so I’m impressed! 😂 Alexis handled all of their different personalities, attitudes, and general cat chaos like a pro. I got updates, everyone was happy and well cared for, and my house was still standing when I got back — a win all around! I would absolutely book again and definitely recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have had several pets through my life and all have had different personalities. Adapting to them to make them comfortable is important. I also have helped family take care of their new puppies. I’m very comfortable and understanding when dealing with puppies. Currently I can do any time! I don’t mind having an early morning or late night drop in. I am very flexible and want to make this easy for YOU! Just communicate what you need and it’ll be great. I want the animal to be as comfy as possible. Sometimes their human leaving can be stressful! I want to meet them where it’s needed. Not have their routines thrown off.
“Cindy was amazing! One of my cats is very shy with people and during her time she was able to get close and friendly with her. She updated me on the progress with them every day with cute pictures. Very thoughtful and is very flexible!”
“I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Lauren - she does SUCH an amazing job. I have two cats with more complicated meal needs/dietary set-up and she handled everything flawlessly. She maintains incredible communication and provided me with detailed updates with plenty of pictures that alleviated any anxiety I had being away from my babies. It is so obvious how much she cares, and she went the extra mile to make my kitties feel comfortable and ensure they were happy & healthy with each visit. She is exactly the kind of sitter you want taking care of your pets!!”
About: Hi, i’m Allison! I have loved and cared for animals for almost my entire life. I had two cats that I got at 10 years old and cared for up until they passed away just a couple of years ago. I am currently a stay-at-home mom, which means I have the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks and belly rubs to your furry dependents! I understand that routine is key and will make sure to keep your pet’s normal routine of feedings, walks and anything else that is needed. I will also make sure to take photos and send updates each visit to give you that peace of mind that they are happy and healthy! While my experience is mainly with cats, I have done visits for family/friends’ dogs for feedings and walks. Happy to do a free meet-and-greet before you book! I am currently a stay-at-home mom so my schedule is very flexible on both weekdays and weekends. Early mornings and evenings are preferred, but with advanced notice I can make times in between work. I will make sure all doors and gates are locked, clean up any messes, and make sure they always have fresh food/water and clean literboxes. For long trips away, I can help with minor chores like bringing the mail in or taking out trash bins.
About: I have two dogs of my own and I would be delighted to take care of your cat or dog as if it were my own! When I was 15, I used to pet sit therapy dogs which provided me with a great deal of experience working with different breeds and personalities. As a current college student, I believe that getting to know your pet would be the best reward! I am excited to work with you and your furry baby. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. As my schedule can vary slightly from week to week, so will my availability. If I know your needs ahead of time, I can often build my schedule around you and your pet. I will take care of your pets with all my heart, giving them all the love they deserve and more. While in your home, I will ensure that everything is kept in tip-top shape, cleaning up after your pet in every way necessary. I am comfortable administering medications if you provide instructions and following specific feeding routines and schedules. Just let me know what your pet needs, and I will make it happen! There will be lots of playtime and snuggles too.
“Alexis was a great caregiver for my sweet, old cat. On the first day, when Kippy did not appear to get her food and meds, Alexis searched and found her hiding place, thus ensuring Kippy got what she needed that morning. Alexis’s kind and gentle demeanor soon made Kippy lose her fear and she began greeting Alexis at the door. I would definitely hope Alexis was available the next time I need Killy care.”
“Juliana was absolutely wonderful! She took care of both my cat and my home while I had to travel for 10 days. Every day she communicated with me and sent pictures. My cat seemed to love her and was very comfortable with her. Juliana made sure that everything was in order when I got home. It was truly a great experience and I am very grateful for her. 10/10, I will definitely welcome Juliana back when I need a sitter!!”
“Shen-Huan was perfect from start to finish for my cat. She communicates quickly, sends adorable pictures and updates on every visit, and also is thoughtful. My cat is elderly and needed meds and twice-a-day visits; Shen-Huan was very kind, very patient, very understanding with Ginger. She got her meds, got lots of love and scritches while I was away, and I came home to a very happy chill cat. Would absolutely request her again for our home, would recommend to yours!”
“Victoria was great! She stayed at my house with my cat for a week while I was out of town with family. Super sweet and my cat loved her. Very communicative: I got daily photos and updates to give me peace of mind while away.”
About: While I’m newer to professional pet care, I have plenty of love and attention to give your furry family member! I’m happy to walk, play with, cuddle, and care for your dog as if they were my own. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’ll always treat them with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and send plenty of updates and pictures along the way. My goal is simple: you feel comfortable while you’re away, and your pup gets a new friend who is genuinely excited to see them. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I have flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to work with each pet’s usual routine whenever possible, whether they need an energetic walk or just some company and attention while their person is away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, respect your pet’s normal routine and boundaries, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to provide photos and updates during visits so you know how your pet is doing.
About: Hi! I’m Parvin, a data scientist who works from home and a true cat lover. 🐱❤️ I had a wonderful cat named Piorot for a year. He was a beautiful Persian and British mix, and he completely made me fall in love with cats and their unique personalities. Although I don’t currently have a cat of my own, I have experience taking care of my friends’ cats while they are traveling. Since I work from home and live by myself, I can provide a quiet, comfortable, and peaceful environment with plenty of attention and companionship for your cat. I would be happy to host your cat in my home, or I can provide drop-in visits at your home while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident that your cat is safe, comfortable, and loved when you’re traveling. I’ll treat your little angel with lots of love, patience, and care, just as I would my own. 🐾 I’d love to meet you and your kitty and help make your time away a little more worry-free! ❤️ I work from home as a data scientist, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give your cat plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for both cat boarding in my home and drop-in visits, including weekdays and weekends. I live by myself in a quiet, clean home, so your cat can enjoy a peaceful and comfortable environment without the stress of other animals. I understand that every cat has a different personality and routine, and I will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, litter care, playtime, and any other needs. For drop-in visits, I will treat your home and your cat with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“Alyssa is truly the Best! Mia, my English Bulldog, has the attitude of a teenage girl, and isnt a morning pupper, Im positive some days she just doesnt want to move from her fluffy bed! Alyssa is amazing with her!”
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs- all sizes and ages. I helped my father train dogs for his business. I also have a service dog at home who is trained and got certified. I have my own cat baby who I’ve had since we were both young. I currently do work part time as a customer experience associate but my hours are very set normally and can be flexible with proper notice. Before being left alone with your pets I would like to do an in home visit to meet everyone and go over routines and where everything goes.

Samantha H. does a fantastic job taking care of my elderly fur babies. Samantha is on time, gentle, efficient, attentive, and thorough. I am so happy and comfortable leaving the cats with Samantha to watch over them. Kudos, two thumbs up & applause for Samantha!
We had a wonderful experience with Elizabeth! She was incredibly communicative, always on time, and left everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, she took excellent care of our kitties and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter!
Ariana took care of our 17 year old cat for over 3 weeks while we were away. We are relatively new to this area and were a little reluctant to let someone we didn't know visit our house and take care of our cat. We feel very lucky for finding Ariana. She did a wonderful job taking care of Dashy and communicating with us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter.
Haley took wonderful care of our two kitties, Miami and Virginia, through drop-in visits. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly caring, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Haley, for taking great care of them. We would absolutely recommend her and would be happy to work with 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 .
