About: I have over 6 years of experience working in the veterinary field. As a former veterinary assistant, I've cared for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities, and I understand that every animal has unique needs. I'm experienced in administering medications, including oral, topical, subcutaneous, and intramuscular injections. I also have extensive experience working with nervous, anxious, and reactive cats and dogs, and I always prioritize patience, positive interactions, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry family members! I have 2 animals of my own, and I understand how important timeliness and routine is for them. I always treat my clients' homes with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I value your privacy and maintain a clean and tidy environment. Your pet’s health and wellbeing are my top priorities. I pay close attention to their behavior, habits, and routines so I can notice any changes that may indicate they need extra care or attention.
“Vania was awesome!!! I needed someone last minute and she came through. She was great with my two pitbulls and treated them like queens. She was always on time and very communicative with pictures. I strongly recommend and will be using her in the future.”
“Iryna has looked after our dog multiple times and she has been great with him! He is an excitable lab and she knows exactly how to handle him. She has taken on last minute bookings for us and been flexible with our schedule which is so helpful. She takes him on good walks and always send a photo. Definitely would book Iryna anytime!”
“Alice and her lovely daughters continue to be the very best caretakers to our cat, Oreo! Alice was prompt, sent detailed reports, and stayed for the duration of the visit sitting and playing with Oreo. We are so grateful for her wonderful care. Thank you Alice!”
“Great job, our pets and their space was well take care of! Before we left, Megan & Jenny R were collaborating with us on how to provide the best care, and stayed in touch during their visits.”
“Lucy was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative throughout the entire booking—quick to respond and always kept us updated with the cutest photos. She followed all instructions carefully, and my cat HaoHao was happy and well cared for. We felt at ease knowing Lucy was looking after her. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Melanie was great, feeding my cat daily for over two weeks. Always sent me pictures and updates when my cat decided to be seen. She also brought in packages that arrived while I was away. I would hire Melanie again for sure! Highly recommend.”
“Eleanna took wonderful care of our kitty while we were away! She provided detailed updates and pictures, and we came home to a happy and healthy cat. Would 100% book with her again!”
“At the meet and greet Tina gently introduced herself to Chilli, listened closely as we toured our home, took notes asked questions. She followed the written instructions we left for her and confirmed additional instructions we texted after we left for our trip. She texted us pictures of Chilli with updates. She also went beyond her responsibilities and checked for ants that had invaded our home before we left for our trip. She exceeded our expectations and we’ll definitely schedule her again soon!”
“Carri was wonderful! She took great care of my two cats. She was communicative, caring, trustworthy, and dependable. I will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone else.”
“Ashley is professional and very knowledgeable! She is easy to communicate with and transparent regarding care & expectations. We are looking forward to more visits with her soon!”

Fernando is my go to cat sitter for my 2 cats! This last booking, I went out of town for a few weeks and was so grateful that he was able to watch my cats to make me feel at ease during a longer trip. He does a great job caring for both my cats that have very different personalities and provides helpful and funny updates. Highly recommend!! :)
Vaneesha was great with my cat and was able to help me on very short notice. She was responsive and replied quickly. I even had the wrong address on my account and she went there to drop in with my cat. When we found out she was at the wrong address, she handled it with ease and grace. She was very sweet with my cat and I highly recommend her.
This is my first time booking Rover for my 2 kitties and I’m so glad to have gone with Nandini! She’s been super accommodating with my last minute booking and also very caring and sweet to my babies. It didn’t take them long to open up at all ☺️ she’s very reliable and also shared the cutest check-in photos of them. I’d definitely book with her again when I’m out of town!
We absolutely loved having Devyn care for our cat! She is such a sweet and gentle animal lover, and we were so happy knowing our baby was in good hands. Devyn gave her lots of cuddles and attention while we were away and kept us updated with plenty of photos and detailed notes. We really appreciated how communicative and thoughtful she was, and we’d definitely book with her again! ❤️
Celeste cared for our two cats while we were out of town and we had a great experience with her. She provided thorough updates and followed all instructions. We came home to happy cats and felt comfortable with her caring for them and our house. Definitely would book again!
Kimberly was amazing, and we feel so lucky to have found her! She was professional, responsible, and kept us completely at ease by sending regular updates and pictures while we were away. Our cat was in the wonderful hands, and we couldn't be happier with the level of care and professionalism she provided. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter!

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. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
