“Ksenia came to my home and helped me feed my cats, fishes and parrot. Rover doesn’t offer bird care services, but she spent time with my bird, Tango. She was great! I’m very grateful to her. She followed all our instructions.”
“Faith was the best sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve had quite a few. Besides doing the required feeding,watering etc she spent time playing and loving on my pet. It made the biggest difference! When we got home our pet was not stressed at all by our being away which gave tremendous peace of mind! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
“Annie absolutely adored Heather. She is so kind and attentive towards her. Absolutely will book Heather again! Thanks for taking care of Ash as well - these cats got everything they needed! Thank you Heather!”
“Mary was a fantastic house sitter for our cat Socks. We are so fortunate to have found her through Rover! We now feel more freedom to travel knowing our Socks and our home is safe!”
About: I’ve had pets since I could remember and they’ve always been a special part of my life. Being able to care for your pets, just as attentively as I do my own, would bring me so much joy. I’ve cared for many family and friend’s pets so much so, that I would love to start professionally pet sitting. I currently work an 8-5 job 4 days out of the week but have plenty of time before and after work to feed, take to the potty, and love on your pets. My weekends are very open and I can spend more time playing with your pet as well. I have experience in cleaning up accidents, walking, feeding, administering oral medications just like I do for my own animals. I am capable of leaving your home secure and intact while you are away. I’m sure I can responsibly handle anything that comes my way.
About: I’ve taken care of many family and friend pets. I’ve had multiple dogs if my own and currently have a 6 year old Great Dane who I take care of on my own. I am a college student who loves spending time and taking care of animals. I would be able to work almost anything into my schedule. I will drop by to feed and play with your pets as much as needed. We will have play dates and can go for walks.
About: Hiiii! I’m a proud animal lover with hands-on experience working in an animal hospital. I’m around animals every day, caring for them and making sure they’re safe, healthy, and happy..and I’d love to extend that same care to your pets! Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I’ll treat your fur baby like family. Reliable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals, you can count on me to keep your pet loved and well-looked after while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! (Message me for more details about my availability..it won’t let me specify) 🥰 I’m currently a full-time student online so I’m very flexible! This allows me to do extended stays and if you need additional time away as long as I don’t have another booking, I can always extend my services! So I offer drop ins, house sit, and do overnights.. very attentive, willing to take them to dog parks, hikes, walking around the neighborhood.. you name it!
“It was my first time leaving my cat Arya with someone, and I was a bit nervous, but Marisleidy did an amazing job! She kept me updated, was very caring, and it’s clear she truly loves animals. Arya looked calm and happy when I got back. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again! 💕🐾”
“Lee is a very caring and considerate person! His communication throughout our trip was outstanding. There were a couple of times he had to adjust the schedule but always more than made up for the time he spent at out home with our cats. He really cares about the animals he is caring for and is very helpful! Can't say enough how much we appreciated the communication and the care he provided while we were gone.”
“We were very pleased with the care she provided to our kitten. She took care of her as if she was her own. Providing pics of her while we were away helped but our minds at ease.”
About: I have boarded dogs and cats for more than 12 years. I have lots of extra time to keep your babies loved and safe. I have animal first aid and have cared for many chronically Ill animals. I am able to work from home. This allows time with the animals I board or stay with. I love what I do very much. I have a big fenced in back yard and lots of toys to play with. It is a privacy fence so no undue stress for anxious animals.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs, neighbors dogs, and family friends ever since I was 8. I have fostered kittens, raised a puppy, and kept my own pets in the best health possible for 10+ years with love and proper care. Pet care fits into my daily routine in many aspects. Feeding, walking, and letting my dogs out is something I couldn’t go a day without missing. I will care for others pets in just the same way I care for my own. With my whole heart! Animals are innocent creatures who deserve nothing but special and loving care. I am willing to abide by any requests or special rules for pets, including medicine requirements, care schedules, and eating schedules.

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.

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 .
