“Shea took great care of my anti social cat while I was on vacation. In the past he has hidden from people who come over to feed and play with him, but not with Shea! It was such a relief to know he was being cared for by someone who loves animals. She is truly a cat whisperer!”
“The cats were well cared for (even if they didn't think so) and Jamie sent daily photos and updates. As people who travel frequently it's good to know we have a way to book someone quickly!”
“Britiany took GREAT care of our sweet kitty boys while we were gone for the weekend. She was very detail oriented and left report cards of each of her visits and sent us pictures of our fluffy boys. She took extra time to play with them and try to wear them out before the 4th of July fireworks got started, so hopefully our kitty who’s afraid of storms would be too tied to care! So very kind and thoughtful! We will definitely book Britiany again in the future!”
“Amy was so wonderful looking after our two cats during Christmas ❤️🎄 she was very attentive to them, arrived on time every day, and would stay the full duration of the drop-in playing and giving love 🥰 Will definitely be reaching out again next time!!”
“Devin is a life saver. I’ve had the pleasure of having her multiple times now to look after my 2 cats and they love her to death! She’s such a huge help. Always gives me so many pictures and updates!!”
“Amy was extremely patient and kind to our 2 cats while we were on vacation. Our house was completely spotless when we got home and she did everything perfectly. We are so thankful that she was so caring and loving, especially with our shy boy Ringo. Thank you so much!”
About: I walk my dog twice a day, take him to socialize with other dogs, and give plenty of open window car rides. I’ve trained him when he was young and I have also taken care of a wide range of animals of other ages from the animal clinic that I shadow at. I’m aware of animal social cues and am plentiful in patience with all furry friends! I am a full time student, so my schedules do vary from each semester. As of right now, Mondays and Wednesdays, I am free after 3 pm. On Fridays, I am free after 12 pm. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am free after 5 pm. These two specific days would be better for home drop-ins and late afternoon dog walks! With my dog at home, I always keep him in my sight not only for his sake but for my own comfort. I just love being around animals all the time. Whether I am doing school work or chores, I always keep them included.
“Hannah was amazing with my cat Coco! Sent me detailed updates about her behavior and ensured me that she was well while I was away for two weeks. She sent daily photos and described all the tasks she’d done for the day. Couldn’t even tell she’d been in my house when I came back! I highly recommend.”
“Sarah was great. It was somewhat last minute and I needed someone to take care of my cat for four days. She was very responsive and seemed to take really good care of Mojo.”
About: Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, and entertain their pets for several years. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I’m a graduate student at UAB and my schedule has the opportunity to be flexible, so I am available for early mornings, late afternoon, and evening walks and check-ins during the week. On the weekends, I have full availability for whatever you and your pet need! I treat every pet like it’s my own- I shower them with love and affection, give lots of treats, and can play all day, regardless of your pet’s age, personality, or activity level.
“Hannah did a fantastic job taking care of our cat, GusGus, while we were away on a week-long cruise. She was reliable, communicative, and made everything super easy for us. She even went above and beyond by helping us deal with an ant situation in the house. We really appreciated her attentiveness and how effortless it was to work with her. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had experience with dogs of every kind since I was born. I have cared for dogs of all ages between eight weeks and eighteen years old. My family had no less than four dogs and two cats when I was growing up. I got to care for large golden labs and for elderly yorkies and I love them all! I have extensive experience with all kinds of dogs, and I would love the opportunity to love on your pet. I am a college student here in Birmingham and my schedule is flexible! I can easily customize my availability and accommodate my clients as needed. Due to dorm living I am unable to have pets in my home. Due to dorm living I am unable to have pets in my home.
“We needed a last minute check in on our pup this Saturday, and Jessica was quick to respond and accept. She has stayed multiple overnight visits in our home to care for our dog. We appreciate her genuine care and affection she always shows our pup. Thank you, Jessica. We appreciate YOU!!!”
“Jordan did a great job with my girls! She followed all instructions and even got my puppy to use the bathroom so I don’t have to worry about her in her kennel! She also brought in an Amazon package and put it on the stairs for me. I will definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and everything between. I’ve had a lot of experience with senior pet care. Ultimately I’m happy to make your pet feel at home, in routine, and loved while you’re away! I’m a college student with all online classes so I have plenty of time to give your pets all the attention they need. Weekends are a great time for me and I know that’s a perfect time to for pet parents to be away for a little! I really value keeping your pet in their routine and in the comfort of their home. I have a dog and cat myself that are the sweetest but a smaller apartment space so limited opportunities in my home.

Samantha was so great and really went above and beyond! She sent me lots of pictures and updates while I was gone, which I loved. My cat is sooo shy with new people, and Samantha was really patient with her, so I was honestly surprised she was able to get her to come out and warm up to her. It made me feel so much better knowing she was comfortable and being so well taken care of. I’d 100% book with Samantha again!
Sydney was AWESOME with our kitty, Casper, while we were out of the country for a week! She sent daily pics of him and kept us updated daily about how he was doing and the things they did together. She even took out our trash for us (unprompted) which was so sweet of her. Thank you so so much Sydney!
Allison was absolutely amazing to our little Ollie. She took care of him for two weeks, and made sure to play and engage with him every day. The house was also absolutely spotless when we come home. We would highly recommend her services, and hire her again without question. Thank you so much Allison for going above and beyond!
Julianna was on time, kind, and patient with our cat. He is very timid around new people and we appreciate that she took her time with him and took care of his needs. This was the longest we’ve been away from our cat and we could tell he was doing well with each photo and feedback received!

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.

Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Meet & Greet .
