“After having a ton of sitters, Olivia is by far the best! She gives such minute detail in her report, and not only fulfillls duties of feline daily living like giving food, water, and cleaning his litter, to the full extent that is requested, she also notices behavioral changes in our pets. I cant reccomend her any more than I do now! She is awesome. I had quite a complex situation to get into my building, and I had the further pressure of having to leave almost immediately, but Olivia was able to help through all that.”
“Ari was on-time and did a great job with Lou. The pictures indicated she was very happy with the visit, and we were happy to return to a clean litter box and healthy cat.”
“Chloe did an excellent job cat sitting for our cat. She followed all of our instructions and sent wonderful detailed updates with photos. Chloe played and cuddled with our cat. She is very caring and my cat was very happy when we returned.”
“Clare was wonderful with my 2 cats. She followed the instructions well and gave thorough reports (and pictures!) from her check-ins. My cats don’t usually warm up to a new caretaker right away but seemed to really like her. I also appreciate that she came over ahead of time to meet them and review their care instructions. I would definitely book Clare again in the future.”
“Lauren took great care of our two cats while we were away for a week! She did twice a day visits, sent detailed updates + photos, and was very responsive to our input and the cats needs.”
“Michelle did a wonderful job looking after my senior cat while I was gone for the weekend. Coming home to a happy pet makes a long day of travel so much easier!”
About: Hi there! I’m an experienced dog care provider dedicated to giving local pups the absolute best care. With professional experience co-owning a pet service business and years of hands-on dog handling, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My main priority is making sure your pup stays safe, comfortable, and right on schedule for their visits. Whether we’re out on an energetic walk, dropping in for mealtime, or relaxing during an overnight stay, you can count on clear communication, prompt updates, and plenty of cute photos. Looking forward to connecting with you and your pup! Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around consistent walks/visits, feeding times, and any special instructions so pets are never rushed or squeezed in. Throughout the week, I keep communication steady with updates and photos, and I stay organized with notes to keep each pet’s routine consistent from day to day. I care for pets the same way in any space: safely, calmly, and according to their routine. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely for meals, walk/play schedule, and house rules. I keep everything clean and secure, and I send clear updates and photos each visit. In my home (for boarding), I provide a calm environment, regular potty breaks and exercise, close supervision, and a consistent routine with the right balance of attention and downtime based on your pet’s personality and energy level.
About: As a god owner myself I understand what it takes to have a happy, content and healthy pet. Trusted care tailored to every pet’s needs. I am currently working part time and available some days during the week as well as on most of weekends. Happy to do drop ins. I provide loving, attractive care, following routines, administrating medications, and ensuring pets feel safe, happy and comfortable.I treat every pet with patience, love and respect.
“J. is a great house- and cat-sitter: very responsive and easy to coordinate with, sends lots of pictures, and clearly made both of my cats (even the more skittish one) feel comfortable/safe. J. also had no trouble handling one cat’s thrice-daily eye medication”
“Amber was awesome! She was very responsive, super kind, and our cat, Bodhi, was relaxed and happy when we returned from our vacation. We will definitely be asking her to come again in the future. Thank you for taking such good care of Bodhi, Amber!”
“Brianna made sure my hateful little furball was well-cared for, understanding how to give her the space she needed while still keeping her company and well-fed. Thank you so much!”
“Couldn’t have asked for more from Jordan. She was super responsive and helped us navigate a tricky situation in terms of gaining access to our living space. Took phenomenal care of our cat who tends to not do well around new people. Cannot thank her enough for everything!!!! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive, knowledgeable and friendly care giver for their furry loved one.”
About: While I don’t have my own pet, I have been around and taken care of dogs quite often. I regularly take care of all my loved ones’ cats and have had cat sitting jobs as well. I’m a responsible and reliable doctoral graduate who will do a good job, and be sure to keep solid communication with clients! I currently work and study full time from home. I am quite flexible with my schedule and can often help out on weeknights and weekends too! I have an unfenced large yard as well as a large house. I can go on runs, (I’m an avid runner who ran cross country and track in high school!) and I absolutely love playing with dogs. My neighborhood is very friendly for dog walks, with fellow dog walkers around! I don’t have a dog or other pets, so no interactions would disrupt dog-sitting. I have three roommates who can give the dogs extra love :)
“Kristina made it so much easier and stress-free for me to leave town for a few days. She was thorough, on time, and provided great updates after every visit taking care of Curtis and Rhys. I also appreciate how accommodating Kristina was with her schedule and so open in her communication. Will definitely have her take care of the kitties again in the future.”
About: My daughter and I would love to help you out! I have experience with a high needs bully breed, and have ample experience with training and caring for pups and cats- grew up with 2 cats and a dog:). My daughter would be present for any dogsitting, but not with me for walks and drop - ins unless pre-approved with you:) I work from home Tuesday through Friday and am around most of the weekends and would love to help you out either of those times We have miles of trails behind our house and green spaces nearby. We’re happy to walk your pups on your terms where you are most comfortable!
“Grace is awesome! She is very communicative and happily worked with my random schedule. I couldn’t be happier. And my dog loves Grace as well. He is all about people but he knows his favorites and Grace is one of them. She is great to work with!”
“Anna was the first person to check on our cats that wasn’t a family member or friend, and she surpassed all of our expectations! Each day during our weeklong trip, we looked forward to the detailed notes and various pictures of our boys whom we missed so much! Anna was reliable and responsive, and she cared for our cats as if they were her own ♥️”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Waltham
Hannah is excellent with my black cat, Juniper! She engages with Junie at the level she needs, shifting her play and attention based on my cat’s mood. She always checks food, water and litter and takes good photos with a detailed report. I will be using her again!
Caroline is our go-to pet sitter on Rover. She takes wonderful care of our cats and is always giving us updates with pictures each visit. She makes sure they always have what they need and are given lots of love and attention. We highly recommend Caroline and will surely be going back to her whenever we need a sitter.
Stephanie is the absolute best. She gives the best care to our two boys, paying special attention to our shy one, and gives detailed updates with great pictures and videos. It's such a relief to know that, when we are gone, our guys will not just get food and water, they'll get all the love and pets they need. Thank you!
Bryana is the best! I loved getting the Rover Cards and photos while I was away and seeing how happy Kira was with her new pal! It was also a relief knowing that Bryana was giving Kira her medicine (followed by a treat!) each day! Highly recommend Bryana and look forward to booking her again for my next trip!
Lauren filled in for me pretty last minute for a week of pet sitting my cat, and I am forever grateful she did! She did an excellent job keeping me informed and enticing my cat downstairs with treats. Thank you so much, Lauren, and I hope we can work together again!!
Taylor did a fantastic job doing drop in visits for our three cats over a holiday weekend. She handled food, litter, and medicine as we requested and gave us super thorough updates and cute photos! Made our travel so much easier to know our cats were in good hands :)

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.

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 .
