“Lenny checked in with our two cats once a day for 2 weeks and we are so thankful for her. The girls seemed relaxed, well taken care of and happy when we got home. One day seemed a little tough on them and Lenny stayed way past her time to show them the love they needed. She kept us updated on everything and send lots of pictures which was much appreciated. Thank you so much!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, including caring for my own cat and helping care for a friend’s senior age Chihuahua. I have also volunteered at a animal shelter in Blacksburg, VA. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, litter box care, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m patient and attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I understand that some pets need lots of attention while others need a little more space. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule gives me flexibility to provide consistent pet care throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting depending on the timing and needs of each pet. I’m happy to work with owners on a schedule that keeps their pets comfortable and maintains their normal routine while they’re away I take pet safety seriously and will follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, routines, and any house rules. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and comfort and won’t force interaction if they need space. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away
“Our cat Ella loved Elyse right away which doesn't always happen with new people. Elyse was very communicative , flexible, and so great to work with. She provided great updates while we were away which was really appreciated. Wouldn't hesitate to book Elyse again!”
“Julia was able to watch my dog Whiskey at the last minute. He can be anxious around new people and in a new situation, but Julia was able to take care of everything and he had a great time.”
“Natalie was outstanding in her visits of my two cats. She is very reliable and efficient and really cares about the work she does. She went over and above what I asked her to do and was so attentive to them and kept me so well informed everyday at every visit with videos and pictures and details. I would hire her again and again and again!”

“Cynthia was an excellent cat sitter! Extremely responsive and sent lots of pictures. She took great care of my cat and left my house looking very clean. She also provided a helpful summary document on her visit. Will book again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. My family had dogs while I was growing up, and I’ve had cats of my own for over 20 years. I also regularly dog and cat sit for friends, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and all the funny little quirks that come with our pets. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for them while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom and working artist, I have a very flexible daytime schedule and can easily accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I generally reserve evenings for family time, but I’m happy to be flexible when needed and will do my best to work with your pet’s regular routine and schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any household rules. During drop-ins, I make sure doors and gates are secure and that pets are safe and settled before I leave. I’m respectful of each pet’s personality and boundaries, especially with cats who may need a little extra time and patience to feel comfortable with someone new. I’ll also keep you updated with photos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since the age of 15 and have always had a love for animals I will always make sure your furry friend is safe and in good hands. I work a night time job so I’m mostly available in the mornings and I am available sometimes at night if given some notice in advance. Caring for your pet is a big thing for me I follow instructions as the owner gives me and make sure they’re well exercised and cared for.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked in professional pet care, taken courses in animal first aid/CPR and positive-reinforcement/Karen Pryor clicker training, worked alongside livestock veterinarians, and even had experience around Security/IED K9s. I especially enjoy learning how each dog communicates. Some dogs want to cover some ground, some want to stop and sniff everything, and some need a little patience and encouragement before they’re comfortable. I adjust the walk to the dog in front of me. My love for dogs started young. When I was 8, my neighbor passed away and left me Sawbuck, his Shepherd/Lab mix. He showed me how strong the bond between a person and a dog can be, and I’ve been learning everything I can about them ever since. I love getting dogs out of the house and moving. Whether your dog needs a good exercise walk, a slower sniff-filled adventure, or simply a dependable midday potty break, I’ll tailor our time together to what works best for them. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities, including high-energy dogs, seniors and dogs that need a little extra patience. My goal is to provide a positive, safe and enjoyable experience for both you and your pet. I’m a Marine, so following detailed instructions comes naturally to me. Give me as much information about your dog as you’d like — I genuinely enjoy learning their routines, personalities and quirks. After every service, I’ll provide an update on how things went along with photos and anything I noticed during our time together. My goal is to provide a positive, loving and safe experience for your pet and you. I’m a Marine so following orders/directions exactly as you give them is in my blood. I love information so feel free to write/leave as much as makes you comfortable. I will send after service reports where I provide feedback/requested information and brief of the care service.
About: I have administered medication both orally and nasally to both cats and dogs in my time as a pet owner taking care of middle-aged and older furry family members. I work full-time with stable income, in hybrid status. I am in-office Monday through Thursday currently from 7:30am to 3:30pm. I work remotely on Fridays. I like to spend my time with animals as I grew up in New York City and South Florida with 3 dogs and 1 cat.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Wellington
I’m so grateful I found Melissa on Rover! My original sitter ended up going out of town, so I needed someone to take care of Iggy while I was away. She was incredibly helpful and made the whole process so easy, especially as someone who is new to Rover! She was amazing about sending pictures, videos, and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. Iggy is normally super shy and loves to hide, but he was SO happy and welcoming with Melissa, which made me feel even better knowing he was in great hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter!
Natalie was outstanding in her visits of my two cats. She is very reliable and efficient and really cares about the work she does. She went over and above what I asked her to do and was so attentive to them and kept me so well informed everyday at every visit with videos and pictures and details. I would hire her again and again and again!
Lenny is great! She is my go to sitter for cats/dogs (5 total) every time we are out of town. This time it was just 2 cats as we took dogs with us but she did everything according to instructions and even went above and beyond when asked to water plants outside. Always, can rely on her for my animals to be well taken care off!
I couldn’t be happier with the care Kaitlyn provided! She did an absolutely amazing job and made the entire experience completely stress-free. She was reliable, attentive, communicative, and clearly put a lot of care into making sure everything was taken care of while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. Thank you so much!
Rebecca was fantastic! The best cat sitter we have had. She sent photos and videos and clearly spent time playing with our cats and it was clear they came to trust her and look forward to her visitors. I also really appreciated coming home to a clean litter box and all the food bowls and cat food trash taken out. Will definitely use Rebecca again!
Annie was amazing and we're so happy she was our first experience with Rover! She followed instructions to a T and more, messaging us when our directions lacked sufficient detail. She made sure our cat got the full treatment, including playtime and continuing our training. We were worried our cat would like her more than his newly-adopted family ;) We'd definitely use her again.

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 .
