“Julia was excellent. She came and hung out with my Gracie. I felt confident she was able to give her her medicine and make sure she was safe while I was away. Thank you!”
“Claire is amazing to work with! She’s so responsive and sent me lots of pictures & videos while I was away. My cats immediately loved her & so did I! Looking forward to booking with her the next time I’m away!”

“Kristen was great with my 2 kitty babies ! I also had to change my booking dates very last minute and she was super flexible about it which I really appreciated :) she provided the care my cats needed while I was gone with minimal service and she provided great pictures and updates with how they were doing with each check in, I already booked her again for another trip I have coming up!”
“Laura was absolutely wonderful! She was caring, attentive, kind, understanding, and very flexible. I especially appreciated that she kept me updated and sent me pictures of my cat, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared and made sure everything was going well. I would absolutely recommend Laura and would be very happy to book with her again!”
“Emma is very communicative and sweet! We trust her with our needy kitty, hyper large breed 8 month old puppy, and anxious 10 year old lady (dog). They are quite the pack and she handles them well!”
“Lexi was great! She helped us take very good care of Imo while we were traveling during the holidays. She was on time and great with our instructions and communications. Our cat Imo really liked her and enjoyed playing with her. She also took many cute photos of Imo :) Really appreciate your help last minute. Thank you!”
About: I’ve spent much of my life caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, many cats, and other pets! I grew up with an Australian Shepherd, whom I trained in basic obedience as well as agility-course tricks (although I am not a formally trained or certified dog trainer), and cats. More recently, I’ve pet-sat for the cats and dogs of family and friends. This has included caring for an older pet with mobility limitations and a pet with complex health needs and a medication schedule. I understand how important it is to follow an owner’s care instructions carefully, especially when medications or special routines are involved. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m happy to play, provide enrichment, groom, go for walks, or simply give plenty of attention and snuggles while their people are away. I’ve even walked cats! I’m detail-oriented and appreciate thorough care instructions. As a graduate researcher, I’m accustomed to following detailed protocols, keeping careful track of schedules, and paying close attention to small changes—skills I also bring to caring for animals. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart. As a graduate researcher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care throughout my day. My research schedule varies from week to week, but I keep my Rover calendar up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can reliably accommodate. For house sitting, I’m able to spend mornings, evenings, and overnight with your pets while working around my university responsibilities during the day. Because much of my academic work can be done on my laptop, I can often study, read, or write from your home while keeping your pets company. For drop-in visits, I plan visits around my daily schedule and make sure I have enough time to provide attentive care rather than rushing through a visit. I appreciate having a few days of advance notice whenever possible so I can plan my schedule around your pet’s routine and care needs. I know that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine and the instructions you provide, including feeding, medications, walks, litter-box care, and any household or safety precautions. I’m detail-oriented and genuinely appreciate thorough written instructions, especially for pets with medical needs or established routines. Before caring for a new pet, I like to learn about their personality, normal behavior, feeding and bathroom habits, medications or health concerns, and anything that might frighten or trigger them. For dogs, I also want to know about leash behavior and how they respond to other dogs, people, wildlife, and unfamiliar situations. I respect each animal’s boundaries and won’t force interaction with a pet who is frightened or wants space. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, drinking, bathroom habits, or mobility and will communicate with you promptly if something seems unusual. In an emergency, I will follow your emergency-care instructions and contact you and/or your designated veterinarian as appropriate. When house sitting or providing drop-in care, I treat your home respectfully and make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are secured when I enter or leave. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds including dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, birds, and invertebrates. I’ve also worked at a pet store for the last year and a half so I have some knowledge on freshwater fish as well as experience administering medications to animals. I’m currently only working part time, about 12-18 hours a week, so I have more than enough time to check on and play with your pets! I’m super flexible and want to do anything I can to make sure your pets are as comfortable and happy as they possibly can be while their humans aren’t home!
About: Hi there! I’m Alison, a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet sitter with experience caring for dogs, cats, and smaller animals. Whether your furry friend is an energetic puppy/kitten needing playtime or a senior/shy pet requiring a gentle pace, my number one goal is to make them comfortable and to give you total peace of mind while you are away. Always happy to keep you updated on visits with pictures/videos as well. I look forward to meeting your pet(s)! I am very much a homebody and enjoy doing house projects, gardening and continuing to build extensions onto my home catio! I have a flexible schedule and pet care comes naturally to me. I take pet care instructions seriously, and my goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine and comfort. Whether your pet is crate trained or needs extra attention, I wil take great care!
About: I am a dog mom to a young Mini Aussie and Cavalier mix. I have raised her since she was 8 weeks. I also have experience puppy and dog sitting for my friends and neighbors dogs. This includes walks, feeding, playtime, medication, cleaning, and car rides. I have volunteered at local animal shelters to take dogs on neighborhood walks to enrich their day and to help them get adopted. I have taken dogs on hikes and are aware of walking safety and managing dog interactions. I have a flexible work schedule as I work from home. I can be available for a single walk per day or multiple drop in visits per day. Monday and Thursday 9:30am-11am are the only times I will not be available. I can be available to a limited amount of repeat visits per week. Please reach out regarding schedule and booking questions. I understand as a dog parent that sometimes you are needing immediate pet care. I am a reliable, generous and fun dog mom. I will be offering drop in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting from my own home. My home has a fenced outdoor space, open space downstairs and upstairs for dogs to play. I have a very social and friendly dog that gets along with every dog she meets. We have many blankets and you are welcome to bring over any of your dogs favorite beds and comfort toys. I always have kibble and dog treats and feeding bowls on hand. Please feel free to bring your own as well.
About: Hi! I’ve always loved animals and grew up helping care for pets, so I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and giving each pet the patience and attention they need. Now that my husband and I have bought our first home, I’m excited to fill it with wagging tails and happy paws. I work from home on East Coast hours, so my afternoons are wide open for exercise, companionship, and plenty of one-on-one care. I’m attentive, dependable, and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine so they feel safe and right at home. Working from home gives me the flexibility to fit my day around your pet’s routine. I work East Coast hours, so I start early (5:30am) and finish around 2 PM. Throughout the day, I have time for potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins, and my afternoons are open for walks, companionship, enrichment, and quality time together. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any other preferences to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. In my home, they’ll enjoy a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time, a quiet, comfortable environment, and a walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for daily walks.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Walnut Grove
Brittany took such good care our cats of Ethel and Max while we were away that we really couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Our cats need medication, and Brittany made sure they were comfortable and cared for and kept us at ease while we were away. I would highly recommend her :)
This is the second time we have used Mandi and I would use her again in a heartbeat. She is incredibly reliable and took amazing care of our cat. Additionally our cat needed pill medication twice a day and she was amazing with making sure our cat got his meds. Can’t recommend Mandi enough!!
Cassie was recommended to me by a friend! She was so great with my senior cat who needs daily meds. Cassie had excellent communication, gave great updates, and overall put me at so much ease knowing Kitty was so well taken care of. I will definitely be using her again!
Alura was very attentive to my cat, Romeo. She paid attention to detail, and asked questions if things were not clear. Romeo was very happy and seemed content and comfortable when I came home. I loved the photos she sent. I also asked Alura to water my garden and flowers, and she did a great job with that. It was very hot the week I was gone, and everything looked great when I returned.
Victoria did an absolutely amazing job caring for our fur babies while we were away. She made sure they received plenty of play time and pets, and even went above and beyond by returning to our home after her visit with them ended when their automatic feeders stopped working. I highly recommend Victoria as a sitter and will absolutely be booking her again in the future! Thank you for taking such good care of our kitties while we were away!

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 .
