“Kimberly was great for my three cats. We came up with a time that worked for both her and the cats and she was even willing to come an extra day which turned out to be a snow storm. Instructions were followed perfectly and the place was well taken care of. Great experience.”
“Anna was so great watching our two cats. Very communicative and went above and beyond to ensure my cats were comfortable. Will book with Anna every time we are out of town!”
“Amanda was the perfect sitter for my cats. She was very patient and understanding with my skittish cat and made sure that they both got all their food and medicine each day. Definitely would rebook with her!”
“Had Jennifer care for my cats the last 2 times we were away and she was great! My cats are very comfortable with her and enjoyed their time. It’s really reassuring to know that when I am away they receive excellent care. Thank you, Jennifer!!!”
“I would rehire Adam for any Pet related service I need in the future. He took good care of my two cats, one with special needs. He followed directions and did what was asked of him and kept me updated. Couldn’t ask for anymore. thanks Adam. I’ll keep you in mind for the future.”
“Melissa was wonderful with my very shy cat. He usually takes a while to warm up to people, but she was so patient and gentle that she was actually able to get him to play with her. I also really appreciated the regular updates while I was away—they gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for.”
“I was worried for Teddy at first since I've never left him with a sitter before but Chrisalyn was great! She took her time letting Teddy get used to her, the new surroundings, and her adorable cat and he became comfy in no time. I received daily updates and she was very helpful with packing up all of his things when I came to pick him up. I would love to bring Teddy to her again! I'm sure he would too!”
“Andrew was incredible!! He watched our 2 cats while we were out of town for about a week and was very quick to respond and sent us lots of pictures. He was very accommodating to some last minute changes and was so good with our little kitties!! Will definitely be using his services again. Highly recommend!”
“Nicholas took great care of our kitty while we were away! He provided updates and pictures. It was clear she had a good time! Will definitely use Nicholas’s services again in the future! Thanks again! :)”

“We highly recommend Doreen as a pet-sitter. From the moment we met her and watched her interact with our cat, we could tell she deeply loves animals. Doreen took wonderful care of our Sheba and home while we were away - she’s professional, very reliable, and great with animals!”
About: I'm new to Rover but I have had experience dog/cat sitting/walking, taking care of sick pets, and making sure they're fed, safe, happy and comfortable I have plenty of free time in my day to house sit, walk your dog, play with your pets, or just check in on them! And I'm 100 percent okay with taking care of other pets not just dogs and cats, I'll happily watch rabbits, reptiles, or rodents, etc :) If you have a sick pet I will follow every instruction you need me to to insure your pet is feeling good and healthy, happy pet happy life, that's not the correct saying sure but it still applies right!
About: I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll send photo updates, follow your pet’s routine closely, and treat them like they’re my own 🐾❤️ I’m currently a senior high school student that has lots of free time after school so doing pet care after my school business will be no such problem at all! Every since I was young I’ve always had love for animals and now that I can willingly take care of them for people I’m need of help I’m super excited to show the skills and care I offer to their pets!
“Jill was amazing! She was very thorough with ensuring she covered all of Izzy’s routine while she was here. She communicated with me the whole time and gave me updates. I also felt very comfortable having her stay at my home. We will definitely be using Jill again to care for our kitty!!”
About: I have health care experience from my daily career and I've been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was a little girl. This includes several kitten rescues and rehoming. My little girl abby was a recue. Feeding, grooming, litter care needs, emotional support, love, time, and attention all go towards my cat at home on a daily basis. It's a labor of love. I would approach each clients needs with focus on respect, reliability, attention to details, and loving care towards each clients pet. I understand each clients needs will be individual.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Wilkes-Barre
I’m always grateful to Gwynne for watching our girls. She truly cares. While away I tend to get a little anxious and knowing they are being watched by her puts me at peace. I love the photos she sends. (Should really think about being a pet photographer) Will continue to always use her!!
I’m so glad we booked Anna to take care of our cat while we were off getting married! I was nervous because we only have had family take care of her before, but everyone was going to be at the wedding so we had to do something new. After seeing her other reviews & chatting with her on the phone I had a very good feeling about Anna! She kept us updated and sent many photos of our little girl with every visit! They were great to see! I am so grateful she took such good care of our little kitty. I would absolutely hire her again!
Thank you so much Jessica for taking such amazing care of my babies. Your messages were so funny and well written. My trip was very peaceful and relaxing and all the more so because I had someone so caring it made me feel such peace of mind knowing someone like you was looking after my fur babies! I looked forward everyday to reading your daily updates in the notes on rover. I'm glad my cat Gizmo got the chance to boss somebody else around for a change lol.
Adam watched my cats this weekend (two drop-in visits) for the first time; he was fantastic and exceeded all my expectations! He showed up exactly at the arranged times and texted me 11 pictures each visit which not only showed me my beloved cats, but also showed me that all of the necessary tasks we had discussed previously had been completed (ie a picture of a cleaned litter pan, a picture of a food plate arranged with medication, etc). And bullet items for each cat such as if poop and or pee was found in the litterpan. I highly recommend Adam and will definitely be using his services in the future! Thank you Adam!

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 .
