About: I take on caring for sweet puppers in my spare time. I am a stay-at-home-mom to three sweet boys, 6 and under, and we love to play with pups and go on walks with them 💖 My partner, Travis, will help care for your furry friend if I must run an errand while your dog stays with us, but I will be the primary caregiver. It is very rare that we are all out of the home at the same time, and if so, it is never for long. I am comfortable administering medication as needed. I can care for any breed, however, some I cannot watch in my own home. I love tiny floofs, big lap dogs and everything in between. I have had a number of pets throughout my life and have loved every second of being around them. Pets are an important part to any family, big or small, and we look forward to looking after your pups and ensuring a safe, loving environment for them to thrive in while you are away. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you and your pup! 💖 -Tara I am currently a stay-at-home-mom to three boys, 6 and under, so I am almost always home to hang out with kids and pups! The boys LOVE to go for walks, so we have no shortage of outside time - weather permitting. Pups receive regular walks, water breaks and lots of love and pets. We will pay careful attention to things owners mention like putting trash cans high-up and keeping our furry friends away from other dogs.
“Holly was really great with our kitties while we were away. She made sure they got some brushing and extra special treatment. It really put me at ease knowing she was there to make sure they were ok.”
“Thi and Jace are our favorite! We are moving away so we have to find new cat sitters and are seriously going to miss them so much. Thank you for all your great communication and care 🥹 😻”
“Again an amazing experience! She has came to take care of my frenchie a few times and this time she came to take care of my kitties. She did an extraordinary job. She goes above and beyond. I feel confident that my pets are well taken care of and I don’t have to worry.”
“I left my two cats with Dana for Friday,Saturday and most of Sunday in July. She did a fantastic job of watching them! She has experience with both dogs and cats and has a room that is dedicated for the cats ?? It was an ideal situation, and she kept me updated about my kitties while I was away. I will definitely board with her again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that animals just seem to love me, and I know how to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve also cared for a senior dog, so I’m experienced with giving medication and making sure pets get the extra care they need. Taking care of pets fits right into my daily routine because I’m almost always available to care for your fluffy buddies. I’m usually free and flexible especially with having school and work outside of Rover, so your pets will always get the attention they deserve! When I care for pets in my client’s home, they get plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get outside for potty breaks after meals. My goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and cared for just like they would be with you.
“Tatum was great. She worked with me to get my senior kitty, who is a picky eater, to eat as much as possible while we were gone. She was very responsive whenever I messaged her. I would definitely have her take care of my baby again.”
“Jesika did a great job taking care of my two kitties. She was very easy to communicate with and was very detailed and thorough. I appreciated the pictures she sent and my cats were doing great when I came back!”
About: I have over 2 years of hands-on experience working as a veterinary technician in a busy veterinary hospital. I work with dogs and cats of all different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities every day. My experience includes caring for senior pets, puppies and kittens, nervous or anxious pets, and animals that may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets for changes in behavior or health, assisting with post-operative care, and recognizing when something doesn’t seem right. Through my work, I’ve gained extensive experience with safe animal handling, feeding, walking, basic grooming needs, and keeping pets comfortable in unfamiliar or stressful situations. I’m also currently continuing my education in veterinary technology. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care while treating every pet as an individual. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, I’m available for morning visits before 7 AM and evening visits around 7 PM. Wednesdays are completely open, so I’m available throughout the day. My Saturday schedule alternates every other week. On working Saturdays, I’m available before 7 AM and anytime after noon. On my Saturdays off, I have open availability. I’m also off every Sunday and available throughout the day. I’m happy to work with you to find visit times that fit your pet’s normal routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With over two years of hands-on experience working as a veterinary technician, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, ages, and needs. I understand animal body language and always take a calm, patient approach, especially with nervous or shy pets. I’m experienced with safe handling, administering medications, and recognizing changes in behavior or health that may need attention. I also understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home and caring for a member of your family. I will always respect your home, follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions closely, and keep you updated so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: No special skills, just a guy who loves animals and will help you take care of yours while you're away or need a break. Ive always had a pet in the house for the most part and have always watched friends and family pets often. Figured I may as well see if anyone wants a trustworthy pet sitter! I'm a stay at home husband who takes care of 3 cats currently and taking care of more pets would be no trouble. So pet care is just part of my everyday amyway I have a large fenced in yard, as well as a 3000sq ft home with plenty of rooms and space if your pet wants open areas, plenty of space if they need space. All dogs get atleast 1 walk a day(2 if it isnt 90+degrees). I feed my own pets twice a day 12hours a part. However am I will to feed your pets on any schedule they normally would have at home
“Tanya is excellent with my two cats. When I'm on a trip, the pictures she sends show two contented felines, with whom she has developed good rapport. And when I return, the food bowls and water fountain are full, and the litter boxes are clean. She respects my house and its contents. She obviously enjoys being around pets--it shows up in her comments and actions. I can't speak highly enough of her. She's a keeper!”

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 .

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 .
