“I can’t recommend Jessica highly enough. I have a reactive dog with a lot of specific needs, routines, and instructions, so finding someone I truly trust with him isn’t always easy. Jessica handled absolutely everything with ease. She was thoughtful, attentive, communicative, and clearly took the time to understand what he needed rather than treating my instructions like a checklist. I never had to worry that something would be overlooked or that she’d put him in a situation he couldn’t handle. She just got it and made caring for a dog who can sometimes be complicated seem completely effortless. Most importantly, I came home to a happy, relaxed dog who had clearly been incredibly well cared for. Having someone I can trust this completely is such a gift. I would book Jessica again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation, especially to anyone with a dog who needs a little extra understanding and care.”
“Leslie was absolutely wonderful with Lucy! I couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter. From the detailed updates and fantastic photos she sent every day, I knew Lucy was not only well cared for but also getting lots of love and attention. Leslie went above and beyond, making sure Lucy's routine was followed perfectly and even coaxing out our shy girl for some playtime. Coming home to a happy, relaxed cat made my trip so much more enjoyable. I'll definitely be rebooking with Leslie for all our future cat-sitting needs!”
“Leslie was the best communicator and cat sitter during my time away from Louie. She kept me posted on his activities. I was excited to see daily pics of him. She earned my trust and I will go with her again and again and again. Thanks! Renee & Louie”
“Bill and I always feel better after Jill checks on Murphy! Jill is timely, reliable and sends photos of our girls, which always makes our day. Murphy can't wait to see Jill again!”
“Bridget took excellent care of our 3 cats while we were away. She was communicative, sent pictures and even accommodated a schedule change. One of our cats eats special food and Bridget went above and beyond to make sure he ate his own food while she visited. We will use Bridget again and would recommend her to others!”
About: Hello! My name is Coralee and I’m 20. Ive been a lifelong animal lover and have been caring for animals as long as I can remember. I am new to the Rover community, but I know how important it is to have the right person taking care of your pet(s)! I am constantly around animals in my day to day life and I am comfortable around all dog + cat breeds and sizes!! I am always willing to adapt and learn any type of dog/cats personality and what suits them best as it is not only my time but most importantly theirs. When I come to care for, play with, and walk your dog/cat I will dedicate all of my time to loving and bonding with them just as if they were my own! I do have medication experience with pills only. I am currently home full-time getting my GED online and I am available for drop ins, dog walking, and pet sitting. I will have more openings towards the holidays/end of the year starting NOV/DEC 2026. Please schedule all pet sittings a day or more in advance, I only ask this because I don’t want times overlapping. I have two cats of my own but they can easily be put in different rooms. If willing your pet is smaller they could also be crated or free-roam in my room or wherever I may be at the time. I have a very big un-fenced backyard and also a pool area with fence where we can relax, play, and even swim if allowed by owner first.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have owned and cared for all kinds of animals throughout my life. Dogs and cats are my heart, especially elderly and high energy dogs! I also have a special place for rescue dogs and have a great understanding of their quirks and characteristics. For decades, I’ve been the person friends and family turn to when they need someone they trust to care for their pets. Now, as a stay-at-home mom, I’m excited to open that up to other local families who could use a little extra help with daytime pet care. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, some exercise and attention while you’re at work, or simply some company during the day, I’d love the opportunity to help! My goal is to provide the same loving, dependable care I’d want for my own pets. 🐾❤️ I am a stay at home mom and have recently opened up my daytime availability to be able to help other families in need with fur baby help! I have owned and been around animals entire life, and after recently leaving the medical field and corporate world I completely understand the need for animal care when you are busy at work! My availability would be M-F anytime after 9 and before 2:30 for drop-ins, dog walking, play, etc. I have two large dogs and a large kitty of my own! A typical day looks like spending time with them, brushing them, throwing a ball, going for long walks, and anything that is engaging and fun! I consider myself to have a vast knowledge of animal body language and overall communication. I have trained all of my own dogs - past and present, and we always get compliments on what loving and well behaved animals we have.

Jen is so amazing. We trust her implicitly with my animals that have included a 15-year-old dog with medical issues, a fear aggressive rescue dog and two cats that love to try to escape the house. She is extremely communicative and loves the animals as if they are her own. I never worry when I am away and she is taking care of my crew. Can not recommend her highly enough!

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 .
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.

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 .
