“Roselyn did a great job taking care of my kitten. She followed all instructions well and provided detailed check in notes with pictures. My kitten really likes her as he played with her during both check ins. She also played with him and made sure he had enough food and water before leaving.”
About: I’ve owned pets my entire life and am experienced dog owner. My friends and family rely on me to pet sit for them when they are away. Experienced with young pets and senior pets! I work 12 hour shifts 3 days out of the week and am available to help with your pet needs throughout the rest of the week. I ensure that my pets safety is maintained at all times. On walks I ensure to access and scan the areas I am walking through for any hazards. I also ensure I am in an environment that does not put my dog or other dogs at risk.
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats almost my entire life and I know how to take care of them well and make them feel happy and safe! I live in an apartment with my family, we all love pets and equally experienced with taking care of them :) Note: This account is owned by me, Nabil Abdelsayed, but often times when I’m unavailable a family member helps out. I will always make sure to specify who will be taking care of your pet and a meeting could always be arranged beforehand. I’m free all day and I’d be more than happy to take your pet in! If there happens to be any reason that I am not free I will update my schedule. I will make sure your pet feels safe and happy here, and provide them anything that they need. I live with 3 cats and 1 dog, they all get along and I’d be more than happy to look after your pet as well!
“Absolutely the best cat sitter who has watched our cat numerous times! From the very first day, Ivy was professional, incredibly organized, caring and communicative. We received wonderful daily updates and pictures that showed our cat was completely relaxed and happy. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our home was left completely clean and tidy, and our fur baby was perfectly cared for. We will absolutely be booking Ivy again and highly recommend her services to any pet parent!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and it was hands down the BEST experience I could have asked for, especially with Chris caring for my dog & cat! 🐾 Chris has incredible communication skills and kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me so much peace of mind :) He is also extremely punctual and reliable, especially when it comes to feeding and walking schedules, which meant everything to me & more. The level of love and care he showed my animals was truly top notch. He followed every instruction perfectly and still found ways to go above and beyond in so many thoughtful ways. For the first time in a very long time, I was actually able to relax and disconnect from “pet mom mode” because I knew my animals were being cared for exactly how I would care for them, if not even better. I also loved the pictures Chris sent, you could genuinely see how much fun my pets were having with him, and somehow he even got my cat to come out and play, which says everything. If you’re thinking about booking with Chris, do it!!! You’ll thank me later & your pets will gain a new best friend 🐾”
About: I've grown up fostering puppies and eventually taking care of three family dogs. Additionally, I've volunteered for a cat rescue group known as 'Cats In Need.' Aiding in adoption days, active enrichment, flea removal treatments and of course loving affection. I provided basic needs such as food, water, and cleanliness. I'm currently a full-time college student with great availability! Pet care is just like second nature to me as I grew up with three dogs, and even own a crested gecko. I'm an early riser, love to be active and fit, love to be around nature and stay cozy inside. My busiest days are Tuesday and Thursday, only one lecture on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the rest of the week is completely free. I am in a fairly well sized studio apartment with a gated area of grass! Currently my only pet is a crested gecko who is in a terrarium and does not make too much noise nor poses a concern. Clients are free to sleep on my bed, and get the utmost affection from me. Staying actively enriched is important, so many toys, simple training, and walks are provided!
“Amanda was a pleasure to work with and she showed great experience working with my cats. My 2 year old Tuxedo cat (Jimmy) warmed up to her quickly which doesn't always happen so from there everything went great. Amanda's daily visit reviews contained photos which were greatly appreciated and I was able to send her additional help information during the multiple visits. My cats truly enjoyed Amanda's visits and I highly recommend Amanda for any single cat and/or multiple cat owner.”
“Shannon went above and beyond in caring for our two cats! I appreciated her for jumping in for our sort of last minute request and doing such a great job. She communicates well, asks great questions — and her updates and pictures gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. She also got the cats to warm up to her so quickly so huge plus. Highly recommend”
“She did a wonderful job making sure my cats were comfortable, happy, and fed every day while I was away for a week. She communicated well and was attentive to all the needs of my special-needs cat and my kittens. I felt confident knowing they were in caring and capable hands!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life! I have three and I know dog behaviors very well. I love being around dogs and I own a jumpy dog so I know very well how to handle them! I am available any time needed currently! Any normal or odd time I can do! I can be there whenever you need and am okay with any time at all. I can handle any accommodation needed, like crating at certain times, extremely specific things needed done, etc! I can handle any specific schedule and any key details about your baby!
About: Pet parent for 15+ years, pet auntie for 25+! I’m all about long walks, playtime, snuggles, meds when needed, and treating your pet like they’re one of my own. My schedule is pretty flexible, so pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and medication visits throughout the week. I’m active and love being outside, so longer walks are always welcome too. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I pay close attention to routines, body language, medications, feeding instructions, and the little things that help pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of your home, careful with doors and gates, and happy to send plenty of updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your baby is doing.
About: I have had the pleasure of helping friends and family with their pets since I was a young girl. I've always loved furry friends, children too, & I recently had a fur baby of my own who taught me how to groom her and love her as my very own first puppy. I loved baking her little home-made treats, and making her dinners from scratch! Unfortunately, I had to return her to her original family as my living situation and job security has been undergoing major reconstruction the last couple years. I work in music and am now a mama to a baby boy! SAHM since I am EBF, so all support helps my family. I am currently looking for a full-time job as a nanny, so until then, my schedule is totally open! I love taking pets to play outside with me any day of the week! I love cuddles and making your fur baby feel comfortable and happy. I will be glad to update you with pictures, as needed, and I am a great communicator who will be sure to ask you questions regarding your little (or big!) one if any arise, so we can assure they are happy and healthy while they are under my care.
“Sydney was amazing!! This was my first time getting a cat sitter for my needy kitty, and I found my new go to girl. She went above and beyond with playing with her, hanging with her, keeping the litter box spotless, and listened to my precise feeding instructions. I could tell by the Blink camera that Juni was digging her, and they are on their way to becoming besties. What a relief to find a good sitter. Thank you Sydney! Meow Sydney!”
About: I have been helping dogs of all breeds with walks, drop-ins, sitting, and training. I love spending time with pups of all ages and sizes! I work at an elementary school in the afternoons and enjoy starting my days with pets alike! My strength is in walks and drop-ins for all breeds and ages of dogs. I have a small craftsman style house on a quiet street with a grass yard. We maintain a standard of cleanliness and safety for all pups!
“Kristina is a very caring housesitter. I know that when she helps out with Frank, he will not even know we are gone as he will get to do all the stuff he always does when we are home. Thank you Kristina for providing great care for Frank and taking care of our house!”
“We booked our holiday travel a little late in the year and our normal supply of family/friends who cat-sit for us were unavailable. I took a chance on Rover and found Allen and it all worked out splendidly! I met Allen before we left, gave him a quick intro to our cat Lisette, and away we went. I also left written instructions just in case and Allen followed them to a T. He sent photos and a video every day, putting my fears to rest about leaving our cat alone for the first time (we adopted her 6 months ago). I recommend Allen 100%! We will definitely be calling him again.”
About: I’ve rescued animals all my life on my own and with organizations and owned a boarding kennel for 15 years until retirement. Lots of experience. I am retired and love being in the company of animals in any fashion. Their happiness and comfort is my primary goal, whatever that entails. I will follow your guidelines on how to care for your fur baby to the letter. I know that activity, food and love are what’s important.
“Noiri was wonderful. She was very communicative and thoughtful. Our cat Ghana was very happy and had clearly been well cared for while we were away. We are very thankful for her.”

It was wonderful to have Roselyn come and care for my pets. She did a great job of communicating any questions she had. After receiving my Rover Card I was very content and excited to see that she did an amazing job of meeting my pets needs. I highly recommend booking with Roselyn if you're in need of a sitter for your fur babies. It was my first ever booking with Rover and I'm glad I chose Roselyn :). I will continue to use her services as long as they are needed and she is available.
Diana helped me take care of my baby cat Sorachi VERY last minute while I went out of town & took great care of her. I really appreciate her super quick responses & detailed notes (& adorable pics) she left for Sorachi each visit she had. Highly recommend her if you need someone to take care of your fur babies. Thank you Diana! :)
She did a wonderful job making sure my cats were comfortable, happy, and fed every day while I was away for a week. She communicated well and was attentive to all the needs of my special-needs cat and my kittens. I felt confident knowing they were in caring and capable hands!
I’ve had Sora take care of my senior cat multiple times already while Im away and feel confident that I’m leaving my cat in good hands. My cat needs to be given several medications and Sora is able to handle that with no issues. She also updates me regularly. Will definitely rebook in the future.
My cats immediately loved Olu. While they like company, there’s been very few people they want to run up to and give kisses and cuddles. I knew my cats had an excellent guardian, which made my trip even more relaxing. I loved getting kitty updates. I had a great time visiting with Olu and going over everything. She’s very thorough and caring and she does reiki on people and pets! One of my cats came from a very traumatic start in life. He’s let go of a lot of it but the reiki was such a benefit to both of them, especially him. I can see a big reduction in him bullying my other cat. They both seem more relaxed and happy after their sessions. Thank you for everything!

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.

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 .
