“Devon was fantastic with our cats, including administering oral meds for one of our babies. She is consistent, reliable, and genuinely cares for and loves engaging with animals. I trust her to care for the animals as we do. We are so lucky to have someone as dedicated, reliable, and kind as Devon for our kitties!”
“Absolutely thrilled with the quality of service. I received pictures and updates. My cats were well cared for, and it made being away much more comfortable. I would absolutely recommend.Amanda.”
“Emily was very reliable and caring coming by to check on my cat Henry while I was on vacation. He was a little shy at first but warmed up to her after a few visits. I had peace of mind knowing he was being taken care of while I was away. I liked the pictures she sent with the daily visit update. I would definitely recommend Emily if you need someone to tale care of your pets while ypu are away.”
About: Growing up with dogs and cats instilled a lifelong love for them and a desire to become a veterinarian. I feed, walk, clean up after, and bathe dogs, giving them exceptional care and attention. Dog /cat sitting is a dream path toward this journey. I’m available for pet care in October and I’m excited to use my love for animals to spend time caring for pets. I’m available for drop in visits from 11 AM to 10 PM and will make sure every pet gets the attention, care, and love they deserve I make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment during every visit. I follow their normal routine, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure they always have fresh water. I’m gentle and patient with every pet and will give them plenty of attention while respecting their personal space. I’ll also keep the pet’s owner updated so they know their pet is safe and cared for.
“Danielle was able to modify my original booking, becauase I accidentally put in the wrong dates. She kept us informed of the feeding and scooping of the cat boxes. She also told us about if she saw the cats, they hid when people are over.”
“Margaret & Dawson were great and took care of our pets like they were their own. Very trustworthy, dependable and communicative. They sent us pictures and videos of the pets with each visit. We recommend booking with them and we will book with them again in the future!”

I appreciate her and definitely recommend hiring her.”

“Melanie was fantastic with our two cats! She was reliable, attentive and caring and followed every detail of our care instructions perfectly. She kept our automatic cat boxes and food dispensers refreshed on schedule and even cleaned and recycled the food containers and dealt with the trash. Our kitties were happy to see her even our very shy kitty which gave us peace of mind. We wouldn't hesitate to book Melanie again and highly recommend her to anyone for a very caring cat sitter.”
About: Owned and taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. Can’t remember a time without having pets! Currently own two crazy pups and two pretty kitties, and can’t wait to meet yours. Have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and everything in between. I am a full time firefighter/EMT, so I only work two 24hr shifts a week, and the rest of the time I get to play with yours, and my own animals! Love to hike or be outdoors with as many pets as possible! If they’re happy, I’m happy! I will follow all rules set for your pet, and be sure to keep their safety at the top of the list! As a pet owner, I can’t imagine something happening to my own animals, and I would never want to let anything happen to yours!
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and my philosophy is “the bigger, the better!” I have experience caring for big, medium and small dogs, cats, turtles, and other pets. And I give every animal I meet a personalized nickname! I’m currently working 40 hours a week. I leave around 7:30AM for work and get back around 4PM. With my current schedule, I could do weekend pet care or pet care for those who don’t need as much attention during the day (ie. don’t need to go outside to use the bathroom). To keep your pets safe in your home, I will follow all instructions regarding feeding, medication and routines to the letter! I also have a dog at my family home and a cat in my own apartment, so I am very vigilant about keeping doors closed and locked so no pets escape. I am also down to send update photos and messages if wanted!!
About: My name is Molly, I live in Gardner MA, I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I also have weekends off. I love cats and dogs!! I have experience in walking dogs, doing over nights at homes, and doing drop in visits with cats and dogs. I could help with any other animals you may have also. I have 2 cats of my own and a almost 2 year old dog. I have helped a lot of people that I know personally with their animals And I am looking to branch out! I can help with older animals or new kittens/puppies. Please feel free to reach out to me I would love to help! I work from home so I have time to attend to your animals needs. I get off around normal business hours so I can attend to them any time after work also. I have a lead in my yard- my dog loves playing with other dogs. I have a crate in home already. I can also separate my dog if you prefer!
About: I have over 20 years of personal experience with my own cats and dogs, and about 6 years of doggy daycare experience. From pack leader to poop scooper, I enjoy it all :) I was recently laid off from work and now have plenty of time to do what I love! I would like to keep my hours around 6am - 8pm, but am willing to be more flexible if you need. Safety is always a priority. Before deciding to take care of your animal, I make sure we can work together with respect, from both sides. That way, we can build trust and have a stressless, safe time together.

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 .
