“Taryn was wonderful! She checked on Milo and was able to play and cuddle with him. He immediately took to her and was excited to see her and get attention. Highly recommend Taryn for any pet sits, she’s incredibly reliable and communicative.”
“Jennifer was an amazing cat sitter for Boris! He loved her and clearly was very comfortable with her, and she sent me lots of updates and photos! She was also super quick to respond to any messages, so I felt always felt secure and up to date. She also was great at administering insulin to him twice a day. Looking forward to having her watch Boris again!”
“Nothing but good things to say! Katie was super helpful and always sent pictures and provided the best updated. Would recommend 10/10 times! Definitely will keep her in mind next time I need a pet sitter.”
“Madison was wonderful. She kept me updated with photos and reports while I was away. My trip was last minute and Madison came to the rescue. Madison also went above and beyond, replaced the batteries for my keyless entry and spent some extra time when she felt our Jojo needed the attention!! Hope Madison is available next time we have to go away.”
“Christa is an ideal sitter! She takes such good care of our kitties who are nervous when we are away. She responds quickly, reaches out with questions and our home is exactly how we left it. Highly recommend!”
“Kamy did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away for a long weekend. She even took our Litter Genie trash bag out to my building’s trash chute when she noticed it was getting full. I returned home to a happy cat and would definitely book Kamy again! Thank you, Kamy!”
“Amelia is was amazing with our 13 year old dog. She sent multiple photos with every check-in. She also kept us updated on how Jarvis was eating while we were gone - he has some separation anxiety and doesn’t always like to eat a lot when we aren’t home. I highly recommend booking with Amelia - we definitely will book again the next time we need someone to check in on Jarvis!”
“Brandon was very responsive to my initial request and from our first meeting I knew he’d take great care Beans and Pickles, aka “the Boys”. He provided regular updates and the pictures he sent made me so happy, because the Boys don’t typically come out for company. They actually had a look of disappointment when I walked in today, hoping it was Brandon!”
About: I dog sat for five years before I adopted my senior dog six years ago. I make his dog food, take him on special walks. I love him so much but he is slowing down. I would love to use my extra energy helping your dog and loving on them. I own my own hand embroidery business and have a very flexible schedule. I would love to fit in more outdoor walks in my routine. My dog is slowing I have experience walking my dog and other dogs in different types of environments. I also know that dogs need mental stimulation, not just physical exercise. I would be honored to love on your pet for you!
“We knew right away that Andrew would be the perfect pet sitter for our pups, Lynyrd Skynyrd and David Bowie. The boys bonded with him immediately which made my "mama heart" soar. We went to New Orleans for a trip and Andrew stepped in and provided the BEST care. The photos he sent captured the boys in true happiness and total contentment. We are going to NYC soon and Andrew will keep them again. Do the right thing and obtain Andrew's services for your puppers; they will have a blast and you will have total peace of mind.”
“Siika was amazing with my 2 cats! She was able to come over and watch my 2 boys over the weekend in short notice! They liked her immediately and she did great playing with them and brushing them! She sent regular updates and responded quickly to any questions or requests. Will definitely hire her again in the future and I recommend her to others!”
About: I have experience with loving and taking care off my family pets. Our current household is at 1 dog and 5 cats so I am no stranger to multitasking. I am able to handle dog walking, cleaning a litter box, and maintaining a consistent meal time schedule. All while making sure to get a healthy amount of play time in. I have a consistent schedule that i can pkan around that will allow me to be consistently available to rehular and new pets. And I will take full responsibility for any scheduling conflicts on my part that may affect care. I will have clear communication with the owner about what they want to keep consistent with there pets and how they want they want there house rules maintained.
“Hilary was so great and I’d recommend her to anyone. She watched my new kitten that stumbled upon us for 9 days. She put my mind at ease so I could be on vacation mode. Communicated everyday with texts/photo of our kitten which was amazing. Followed the feeding schedule and special requests. Thank you for everything Hilary!”
About: Working from home gives me the unique ability to check in on your fur baby. Whether it’s a quick walk, short play session, or you want me to hangout with them for the day I have you covered! I WFH, so as long as I don’t have a scheduled meeting I can be pretty flexible. I’d need at least a day in advance notice. I will follow how the owner instructs for care of their fur baby. I know fur parents have distinct routines and their babies deserve that consistency.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Wilmington
10/10 Sadie did a wonderful job getting my elderly dog on slow bathroom walks and spending time with my cat and dog afterwards to give them company on my extremely long days at work. Came home to happy and not so lonely pets which makes me feel much better since I can’t spend as much time with them as I would like. She had great communication and was always on time. I will continue to hire her.
We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely hire Jennifer again in an instant! She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and genuinely lovely to speak with throughout our time away. We felt very comfortable knowing both our cat and our home were being well cared for. We also ran into a few unexpected issues with feeding, and she handled everything with so much patience, thoughtfulness, and care. She was proactive about keeping us updated and worked with us to make sure our cat was comfortable and well taken care of. We really appreciated how kind, reliable, and conscientious she was. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

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.

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.

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 .
