“Theresa and Michael are wonderful cat sitters, true pet lovers who took care of Mr Soots for me in every way possible. From cuddles and love to pictures of Soots playing and being his cheeky self, I could see that my cat felt so at home and comfortable with Theresa and Michael right from day one. I would recommend their cat sitting services to anyone. Fantastic people and wonderful hosts for pets.”


About: I’ve always had such a big love for animals and truly enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I’ve taken care of animals since I was 9 years old when I got my own dog. I have experience caring for my neighbors’ and friends’ cats, making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, plenty of playtime, and of course, some treats! I’ve also cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs, including French Bulldogs, a Rottweiler-Lab mix, Goldendoodles, and Dachshunds. I also have a Lhasapoo of my own who is now 14 years old, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family member! I know every animal has their own personality, and I always make it a priority to respect their space and give them time to warm up to me at their own pace. My goal is to make every pet feel just as safe, happy, and loved as they would with their own family! 🩷 I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree in School Psychology at Marist University! While balancing my classes and school responsibilities, I love making time to care for animals and would be happy to fit drop-in visits into my weekly routine! 🐾❤️ My current availability is: * Mondays: 7 AM – 12 PM * Tuesdays: 5 PM – 9 PM * Wednesdays: 8 AM – 2 PM * Fridays: 9 AM – 6 PM * Saturdays & Sundays: 9 AM – 4 PM I do my best to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s routine whenever possible. I know how important consistency is for animals, and I want to make sure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away I offer drop-in visits in your home, where your pets can feel safe and comfortable in their own space.😌 During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, playtime, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, and of course, plenty of love and attention! I understand every pet has their own personality, so I’m always patient and respectful of their boundaries. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel at ease knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for!!
About: I’ve grown up always surrounded by many pets and have loved taking care of them, as I got older I’ve gotten more experience properly taking care of different kinds of pets. I also have experience walking dogs in shelters and have experience with senior pets as well! I work full time during the week but am available any day during the weekends and in the afternoons after 4PM during the week as well! I have a large yard and safe, walkable neighborhood as well as 2 friendly dogs. I would always be respectful of others’ homes and their pets needs and boundaries!

About: I’m a total cat person with four of my own, so my day-to-day is all about feline care. I'm well-versed in the practical side of things, like sticking to strict feeding routines and giving oral or topical meds, but I also love getting to know different personalities. I have a real soft spot for shy or anxious cats and take a go-at-their-own-pace approach to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m currently working a hybrid schedule and have time during my days at home to come care for your pets, and can also do early mornings and evenings. When I'm sitting for your cats, I focus on sticking to their normal routine so they feel completely safe. I know cats can act a little differently when their humans are away, whether that means eating a bit less, hiding, or changing up their habits, so I keep a close eye on their behavior without pushing them. I take my cues from your cat, whether they want non-stop playtime, cuddles, or just a quiet presence while they settle in. I'm also fully comfortable with oral or topical meds, precise feedings, and litter upkeep, and you'll get daily updates and photos after every visit so you always know how they're doing.
About: I grew up in a household always with a pet and sometimes two. Having mostly taken care of small/medium sizes dogs and some large. Ive pet sit before for different friends and family, taking care of a variety of breeds, all the way from Chihuahuas and Jack Russel Terriers to Huskies and Golden retrievers. Currently I have no pets permanently living with me since I moved away from home for college. But on occasion I pet sit for my parents or take their dog to doggy day care. Im a part time college student and I do all my schooling online, so i'm always home. I do work in the evenings for 4-6 hours but I live with my sister who is a web designer and is often home too. I currently live in a townhouse, which has plenty of room for your furry friend. I don't mind your doggo lounging on the furniture or sleeping on the bed with me. I can feed your pet based on whatever schedule you have them on. There's plenty of grassy area in the communal living area and a near by park to take your pup on daily walks. I also love to give photos and video updates of your pets stay with me.
About: • Specialized Senior Pet Care – Gentle handling, mobility support, medication administration, and extra patience for slower-paced walks or special routines. • Health & Comfort Focused – Attentive to changes in mood, appetite, or mobility, with prompt updates if something seems off. • Customized Care – From joint-friendly play to warming up meals, I tailor every visit to your pet’s needs. • Reliable & Communicative – Daily updates with photos and videos so you feel connected and reassured. • Compassionate & Calm – I take my time, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and never rushed. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays when needed. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust to your pet’s feeding, walking, and medication times. Consistency is key, so I make sure my visits are always on time and unrushed—your pet gets my full attention every time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and their animals with the same respect and care as I would my own. I follow the pet’s regular routines—feeding, walking, playtime, and any special instructions—to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure fresh water is always available, litter boxes are cleaned, and living areas are tidy. If medications are needed, I administer them exactly as directed. I also spend quality time giving affection and companionship, so your pet feels secure while you’re away. Before leaving, I ensure the home is secure, lights and doors are as you prefer, and you receive an update with photos so you know everything is safe and well.

About: I was a mama to my Olde English Bulldogge boy Lolek for 11 years. I have 3 dogs, a 2 year old Bull Terrier female named Koko, an almost 2 year old Cockapoo named Nala and a handsome boy named Zane that is a Bernedoodle Pit-Bull mix. I’m a homeschool mama with a flexible schedule. I homeschool my kids so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available during the week as well as the weekend. I only my be unavailable for services between 5pm-7pm as I may be taking my kids to extracurricular activities. I have 2 dogs at home so I welcome pets that get along with other animals. I have a 1.7 acre unfenced yard and love walks in my neighborhood and playtime in my yard. My dogs are crated during the night and when I am not home. I welcome pets that sleep in the crate during the night but also can accommodate well trained sleepers that need a bed or sofa. I can train your pup with simple commands and can give a bath as needed (for extra cost). I do have a dog kennel outside that I can use to let the pets I care for safely run around and play with each other.

“Timothy was a great sitter for our elderly cat. He was patient, kind and easily administered medication for our fur guy. We absolutely will hire Timothy again when we’re out of town and know our cat Stoopy would be in good hands.”

“Ebony is fantastic and does not disappoint. Even though she wasn't feeling good, she still committed. She knows exactly how to warm up to your pets and took the time to spend quality time with each pet. My cats love her. I am so satisfied with her and definitely will have her again! Thank you Ebony!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats since for 25 years. I grew up with 3 cats that lived until 23. More recently my mom got a pitbull and my brother a German shepherd and husky that I often take care of. I’m currently working part time so I have 4 days completely free to take care of pets. I’m available the entirety of those four days off. I can take care of pets in my clients home by taking them on walks, feeding them, keeping a clean and sanitary environment. Also lots of love!
“Maria did a great job and was very communicative with me. Everything went smoothly and I greatly appreciate her help. She took photos every day and made sure that everything was squared away each day.”


About: With over 15 years of experience in the pet care industry, caring for animals isn’t just my job—it’s my passion. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, and I also have experience caring for cats, reptiles, rodents, and other exotic pets. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner myself, I understand that every pet is a member of the family. I currently care for multiple animals of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to provide loving, dependable care while you’re away. In addition to my professional experience, I volunteer at a local animal shelter and have experience with dog training, allowing me to confidently work with dogs that have different temperaments and training needs. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, cuddles, medication, or extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m also bilingual, making it easy to communicate with a wider range of pet parents. My goal is to provide personalized, reliable care that gives you peace of mind and keeps your furry, feathered, or scaly family members happy and healthy. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work remotely, which means I’m home throughout the day and can provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship for your pet. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate potty breaks, playtime, feedings, medication schedules, and plenty of one-on-one care. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. I also have reliable transportation and can provide pick-up and drop-off services for your convenience. For active pups, I also offer adventure hikes and structured pack walks (with compatible dogs) if that’s something you’re interested in. Whether your pet prefers an active outing or a relaxing day at home, I’m happy to tailor their care to their individual needs and routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under supervision. My home is a spacious two-story house with a finished basement, which allows me to comfortably separate pets if needed for feeding, decompression, introductions, or if a dog simply prefers their own space. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or has special needs, I’ll provide patient, individualized care to help them feel safe and at home. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and never leave pets unattended in the yard. Fresh water is always available, and I closely monitor all playtime and interactions. For multi-pet households, I prioritize slow introductions and only allow dogs to interact if they are comfortable and compatible. (If allowed) I’m experienced working with dogs of all sizes, as well as cats and other small animals, and I’m comfortable administering medications if needed. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands.
“Of course! Here’s a warm, concise review you could leave: Joanne took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure he had everything he needed during each visit. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter! 🐱💙”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, 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 Meet & Greet.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
