“Isabel did a fantastic job with my cat! She did everything that I asked her to do and more, and I know that Venus thoroughly enjoyed her time with Isabel. I cannot recommend her enough. She is responsible, thoughtful, caring, kind, and communicative, everything that I look for in a pet sitter. An easy 5 stars, and I would highly recommend Isabel for your pets!”
“As always Helena was amazing and had the best check-in pictures! It made being away from the kitties easier knowing they were in such great hands! Will continue to rebook for future trips!”
“Alexis is the best!! I’ve been struggling to find a good sitter for my cat, and I’m super glad I found her. She’s very calm and gentle with my shy/fearful cat. She’s also a great communicator and always keeps me updated on her visits with little notes and lots of photos. I highly recommend her!!”
“Ellen took care of our cats while we were out of town for a week. They were in excellent hands. She sent updates and pics on every visit, and made us feel totally confident that we could enjoy our vacation without any worries whatsoever. I highly recommend her!”
“Isabel was absolutely fantastic with my two cats. Her genuine enjoyment at playing with them, caring for them, and spending time with them was extremely comforting while I was away. She was very responsible, always on time, and very communicative. She never tried to cut corners and I felt very safe and at ease with her in my home. I plan on utilizing her services in the future for sure or even just giving the cats a special play day where they can hang out together.”
“Alexis was awesome with our cats. We were expecting someone just to make sure they had food, water, and clean litter. But Alexis did so much more. She spent time with our cats and they began looking forward to her visits each morning. Well, Sweets did, Salty was more about the food. We have never left the cats for such a long period of time so they were stressed for sure. But Alexis gave them some stability and love while they were alone. Thank you Alexis. We have 2 more weddings later this year and really hope Alexis is available again.”
About: Dog lover who isn’t quite ready for one of my own yet. My family has two dogs who are my whole world, and I miss them now that I’ve moved out. I work from home a couple days a week as a graphic designer, so I’m always looking for an excuse to step away from the computer for some fresh air and quality dog time. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own! I am always working during the week so i don't get to get outside and enjoy the fresh air as often as i would like to. Walking dogs has become a fun way for me to get outside and also get my dog fill. I live by myself and so i am able to give all my attention to your pet. I love snuggles on the couch and have a safe and welcoming home. I live across from a park with a big walking loop which makes walks a breeze!
“Jessica was a gem! She was so attentive and responsive to my cats and kept in consistent communication with me while I was away. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again!”
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Kira was amazing! She followed all instructions and sent us the cutest pics of our baby! Our sweet kitty loved her (and her shoes lol). It was the best experience through and through. 100% would hire her again!”
“Jonathan was a great sitter! He kitten sat our two 8 month old cats. He was very responsive and provided timely updates. I highly recommend for anyone looking for attentive pet care.”

“Anna did a great job of caring for my two cats! She was very responsive to messages before the stay, came to meet the girls and get all the instructions, and maintained constant contact with me throughout the weekend. She administered medications with no issues to the cats and let them enjoy themselves at their comfort level. Would have her again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Raleigh
Beverly is wonderful! Our cats adore her, and she’s taken such great care of them. Her visit summaries are very thorough, and the photos are always so fun! She’s given us peace of mind to leave our older cat and new kitten alone together, and she helped us some with the introduction process in the beginning! She’s very communicative and always lets us know when there’s an issue, whether it’s because one of the cats threw up, or they got into something they shouldn’t have. We’re so grateful to have her looking after our kitties!
I am a first time Rover user and found Sarina on the site with no referrals. I am so pleased. She did such an excellent job!! Lots of pics and updates, timely arrival every day, and was willing to extend by one day on short notice, and responded very quickly to any messages. We will definitely ask her back soon!! (One kitty this time, but would totally trust her reliability with more pets)

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 .
