“Sarah is the most phenomenal caring flexible and over and beyond pet sitter. Our cat had what we thought a minor medical issue happen literally two days before leaving for Europe. She agreed to give him medicine. However- after a few days- the issue grew more complex and vet attention was needed. Sarah took him and picked him up at vet and gave him new rx’s after home. This took a lot of extra time but she did it. I cannot give her enough praise. Our cat really liked her too and all her communication and pics were so helpful to us. Being overseas and worrying about this - Sarah was able to calm my nerves because of her care. Please do not look further for finding someone who will take care of your fur babies. She really does go over and beyond. I recommend her with all I can. Thank you Sarah!”

“Susan is a very kind and caring cat sister! She is well organized and stands behind her confirmed visits and times! You can depend on her. She will do a great job for you, and send pics of everything during her visits! It’s great to have confidence in a pet sitter while you are on vacation! We are very happy with Rover and how easy it was to use the app!”
“Haylle did a great job taking care of our cat during a week long vacation. Our cat is super shy with strangers, but surprisingly warmed up to Haylle in just a day! We will definitely rebook.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful, as always. Our cats were well taken care of while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter, as she genuinely cares for the pets.”
“Andrea has been so great! Our Phoebe has been so happy having a new friend to hang out with her for a little bit during the week. Super sweet dog sitter and we can’t thank her enough!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, and I truly believe every dog deserves care that is tailored to their individual personality, needs, and comfort level. I have experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds—including dogs with fear, anxiety, food aggression, and other behavioral challenges. I’ve even worked with a former dog-fighting pit bull, learning to build trust and provide care at the dog’s pace. I’ve also trained and cared for my own pets throughout every stage of their lives, from puppyhood through adulthood. I love getting down on their level, learning their quirks, and figuring out what makes each individual dog feel safe, happy, and understood. Whether your pup is energetic, nervous, stubborn, goofy, or a professional couch potato, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are. Every dog has a different personality, and that’s one of my favorite things about caring for them. 🐾 Every pup is my favorite. I’m currently doing online EMT schooling and work overnight from 3pm-3am. I’m home with an open and flexible schedule during majority of the day, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. My days are naturally centered around animals, so I’m able to provide lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. My husband works for the city and is often away for work, which means I have even more time to devote to my four-legged guests. I genuinely love having animals around and never get tired of giving them attention, affection, and plenty of love! 🐾 I have a private yard at home as well as a larger, gated public dog park nearby, giving my four-legged guests plenty of options for exercise and play. The neighborhood is very pet-friendly, and there are lots of friendly pups around for those who enjoy making new friends. There’s also a large park and pond just a short walk away, which is one of my favorite places to walk. I’m always happy to bring my furry guests along for some fresh air, exercise, and exploring! My home is also shared with my three cats, Lokie, Grim, and Indi, and my two dogs, Bear and Ghost. All five are part of the family and are accustomed to living in a busy, multi-pet household. My cats are comfortable around dogs, and my dogs are used to sharing their space with other animals. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as comfortable as possible while giving them plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and supervision. Every pet gets individual care based on their personality, energy level, and needs. ❤️
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I’ve owned a Yorkie for most of my life and have regularly cared for larger dogs for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m attentive, patient, and very observant, so I pick up on changes in behavior, energy, or comfort quickly. I focus on keeping pets calm, safe, and on their usual routine. I follow care instructions closely and take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time. I’m typically available before 7:30am and after 4pm on weekdays and have flexibility on the weekends. I’m dependable about scheduling, communication, and sticking to each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and well cared for. I prioritize safety and routine whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I have a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, but I primarily keep dogs indoors to ensure comfort and safety, especially during colder weather. I’m careful about leashes, gates, and doors, follow all care instructions closely, keep pets on their normal schedule, and maintain a calm, clean environment so they feel comfortable and secure.
“Emma did a wonderful job watching my 3 senior cats for a week (one of which required daily medication). I know some folks think cats are easier than dogs, but mine do require a bit of extra attention and care. She sent me lots of pictures ensuring they were in good hands while I was gone. Once I got back, the house (including litter boxes) were in good order. She also helped keep all my outdoor plants alive in this heat! She is definitely my first choice for taking care of furbabies.”
“Julieta does a wonderful job taking care of my cats! She provides great updates and pictures each visit. She takes the time to give them each attention and plays with both of them. I will definitely book with Julieta again!”
“Patricia was truly a blessing. ❤️ Leaving my girl behind is never easy for me because I worry about her when I’m away. Knowing Patricia was there made such a difference. She was incredibly attentive, gentle, caring, and thoughtful. The videos and updates she sent meant so much to me. Being able to see my girl, see that she was comfortable and happy, and watch Patricia giving her love and attention gave me such peace of mind while I was away. What touched me most was that Patricia didn’t just come in and take care of the basics. She genuinely cared about her. She paid attention to her little quirks, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her the companionship and affection she needed. I could tell from the videos that my girl was happy to see her, and that meant everything to me. Coming home knowing she had been safe, happy, loved, and so well cared for is priceless. Patricia went above and beyond, and I would trust her with my girl again without a second thought. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet with genuine love and attention, I cannot recommend Patricia highly enough. She is wonderful, and I’m so grateful I found her. ❤️”
“She is a wonderful person and took care of both my cat and my dog for a month while I was overseas. Never had a better experience with pet sitter. Lilo came home like she was left the day before,no stress,happy dog.”
About: I’ve owned dogs all my life and have always been an animal lover. In high school I took an interest to veterinary medicine & interned at a vet clinic. I have experience with cats & dogs of all ages. I currently own one dog and three cats who are all well taken care of and loved! Everyone gets their monthly flea & tick prevention as well as bathing, nail trims, and teeth brushing! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals - whether it’s playing, feeding, or just getting to know their personalities. I treat them all as my own and I have so much love for them. I’m currently working as a tattoo artist part time, but I make my own schedule! I’m available early mornings - late afternoons. My schedule is flexible so I’m able to accept last minute drop-ins! 30 minutes or multiple hours, I’m available 🫶 Your pets’ safety is my top priority! Any care instructions will be followed exactly & they’ll get my undivided attention the whole time. I’ll make sure they’re always safe and comfortable 🤍
“Jada did absolutely amazing watching out puppers while out of town. Received lovely check in photos and feedback regarding the dogs. She gave such tender love and care to them and our home. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone you can trust while your away.”

Rebecca was amazing. I had to find a cat sitter last minute on a holiday weekend and she was able to fit me in. My kitty clearly loved her and seemed so happy when we came home. Quick communication and wonderful photos, videos and updates. I would recommend hands down!

Madison was amazing with my cat Nola. She was very attentive, kind, and made sure everything was clean and organized. She fed Nola, played with her, and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I’m really grateful for the care she provided. Highly recommend!

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 .
