“Jackalyn was a fantastic sitter for our two fur babies she was available last minute and gave me such peace of mind watching our kitties! Would highly recommend her and will definitely book again in the future when needed!”
“Caitlin is amazing! She responds super fast, and I hired her for a couple of nights to stay with my nervous kitty. She was able to bond with him which is tough to do, and sent me pictures and updates while I was away. I highly recommend Caitlin for house/pet sitting!”
“Irene was terrific!! My kitty was well cared for and happy when we returned from our 5 day trip, our house was in great order, clean and tidy! Irene sent pictures and updates daily, and I cannot say thank you enough to her for helping to relieve the stress of leaving my skittish cat for several days. I would highly recommend Irene to anyone who needs pet sitting in any situation!”
About: I've taken care of everything from pitties to kitties! I love animals and dream of having my own mini menagerie someday. I've been petsitting reptiles, cats, and dogs since I was 13 years old, and have never run into any issues. I can render any service from medication to enrichment. I currently work part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I have no trouble taking a day off from work if the situation calls for it, and can work around medication schedules even on work days. When taking pets out for walks, leashes are a must! Additionally, any potentially dangerous foods or substances will be put safely out of reach of the pet. I set alarms and reminders for feeding, medication, and appointments to make sure everything is done at the proper time.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could remember! Growing up with dogs, cats, and birds, I have always loved animals and looking after them! I have taken care of my family/friends fur babies for years now and used to work at petco (5years) and would dog/cat sit for some of the regular clients that I got to know throughout my time there. I’m energetic and love being outside and love spending time playing with animals! My schedule is very flexible and open, I can be available any day of the week and most times as long as I don’t have another commitment. I make sure the animals are well fed and hydrated. I stay aware of my surroundings when on walks or inside, making sure I’m keeping an eye out for other animals nearby or that the door is properly secured..etc I pay attention to the animals body language as well to make sure if I’m playing with them or interacting in anyway, that they seem comfortable and open to that interaction.
About: I have 10 years of experience when it comes to caring for animals and it has always been something I'm truly passionate about. I treat every pet with the same love, care, and attention I would give my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I'm happy to adapt to their individual needs. I'm committed to providing dependable care, keeping your pet's routine consistent, and sending regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm comfortable caring for pets of different ages and energy levels, including puppies who need extra patience and older pets who may require a gentler approach. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pet, ensuring they feel loved, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule right now. I recently finished my summer job as a camp counselor, so I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. This gives me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I love being able to help pet owners feel at ease while they're away. Whether it's a quick check-in, longterm stay, or spending extra time keeping your pet company, I'm happy to work with your schedule and your pet's individual needs! I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in a familiar environment with their normal routines. When caring for pets in their own homes, I make sure to follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, playtime, walks, litter box care, and any other specific needs your pet may have. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping things clean, secure, and just as I found them. My priority is creating a calm and positive experience for your pet while you’re away. I also value communication and will provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for!
About: I've had experience pet sitting for friends, family and neighbors since I was in middle school. I know your doggo is an important part of your family, and I will treat them like they are part of mine. My schedule is very flexible. I'm available most days and times. For your pet's comfort, I am also available for overnight pet sitting in your home. I will care for your furry friend as if they were my own. I will follow your instructions for your safety preferences, such as keeping your pup leashed while enjoying the outdoors.
“Alexa is amazing!!! She not only came to rescue when we needed last minute help but went above and beyond to take care of my cats. I really appreciate her communication, photos and that she even cleaned up when it wasn’t asked of her! Will definitely have Alexa help watch my little angels again asap!”
About: I have past experience working in the Petsmart grooming department for 2 years and have been around hundreds of dogs. I have experience bathing, trimming nails, cleaning ears, deshedding, and more! This will be my second job but my schedule varies weekly so I will try to work around your schedule and mine! I usually only work 2-3 days of the week and I am available evenings as well! My 3 cats at home receive so much love and care. They all get fed twice a day and their litter box is always clean. Although I don't have any dogs currently, I've spent a lot of my life taking care of dogs and can adequately care for different types of dogs.
“Corrina was amazing! Attentive, caring and made sure our furry kid was well taken care of. We were running late and she was very understanding, as we communicated throughout the day. Would recommend her to any one as a great furry baby sitter.”
About: I have always had multiple cats and dogs growing up, I have experience since 8 years old, bottle feeding, fostering, and caring for senior pets. I currently have 10 rescue animals of my own: 2 dogs, 5 cats, 2 bunnies, and 1 large turtle who lives in an in-ground pond I built in our backyard. I truly love helping care for animals and will treat your babies just like my own! I have a super flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! Long walks, fetch out back, or a cuddle inside—I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and comfortable before I leave. I am always extremely cautious entering and exiting homes, so no worries about escape artists! I never bother an animal who doesn’t want affection and will be as patient as necessary to build a bond. I do my best to match the energy of your pet to keep them as comfortable as possible.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Alaqua Lakes
I liked Brooklynn right from the first meeting. She’s warm and genuine. She felt like a good match for my cats. She also had experience giving cats insulin shots which was very important since one of my cats is diabetic. I could tell from all the pictures she sent of the 3 cats that they were comfortable and happy. She’s my first choice for cat care from now on!

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
