About: Hi my name is Naomi Holt, i’m a graduate from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute now living in West Hartford, and I am looking to help out any dog owners. I recently lost my goofy, kind hearted rescue dog named Ricky who i love and miss dearly. I’d be looking to help out because i love dogs, and i miss interacting with them. Whether your dog is quiet and reserved, or energetic and outgoing, I would love to hang out with him or her. My schedule allows free time to assist with care on weekends! Looking forward to being in touch. Currently my primary obligation is work which is every Monday-Friday 7:30-4:30pm, leaving my weekends flexible with where i can be, whether it’s a walk, sit, or house stay! I’m unable to board at my house, but I’d be more than happy to work with your schedule to make whatever you need, happen! I will also ask that before any service there’s at least a brief meet and greet.
“Jill did a fantastic job taking care of my cats. She was very professional, attentive to any requests as well as the special needs of my youngest and treated my kiddos with love and care every day, including the days when the elevator gave out in my apartment complex. I was initially concerned about a sitter because my eldest is very skittish around strangers due to previous bad experiences with others, but I was surprised to see that she warmed up to Jill right away. 10/10. If ever I need to have a sitter for my kiddos again, I'll be calling Jill.”
“Olivia did an awesome job ! It's always hard trusting someone to care for your babies but she gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cat warmed up to her right away which made me happy that they had company while I was gone 🥰 she even took the initiative to clean up and always reached out if she had any questions. She was quick to respond, followed all care instructions, and the communication was great! Lots of pics ☺️ I highly recommend her and look forward to having her sit for me again !”
“This was the first time I booked Le'Andra to do daily check-ins on my cat Gabby while I was out of town. She was great! Le'Andra always stayed in communication with me by text. And she did her best to still take care of my cat while also dealing with the storm and very cold temperatures we recently had. Le'Andra is nice and very friendly. I would definitely request her again the next time I need a cat sitter, and would also recommend her to anyone considering booking her on Rover.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Hartford
I’m so glad Meredith was recommended to me by a friend who uses Rover. She is exactly the kind of person you hope to find when entrusting someone with the care of your cat or dog. Having her gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She was dependable, caring, attentive, and thoughtful in every way. I could relax knowing that my cat was in good hands and being well cared for. I’m very grateful to have found Meredith and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I will definitely be calling on her again.
Brittany was fantastic! She kept me updated with photos and texts during each visit, followed my cat’s feeding instructions exactly, and my cat was clearly comfortable with her. Made it so easy to relax while I was away. Would book Brittany again without hesitation
Haoran was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to take care of our cats. I truly can not thank her enough. Not only was so great at communicating, she was so understanding of our situation with our rescue cats. She also cleaned more then she had too/more then what we ever expected. I can not say enough how nice it was to come home to a clean house and cats that were happy and healthy and to be stress free about it while away. 😭❤️

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 .
