About: I have several years of experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and even fish. I truly adore all of them, and I treat each one with the same love and attention I would give my own. From energetic puppies to older cats with specific needs, I understand that every animal is unique and deserves patient, attentive care. I’ve handled feeding routines, medication schedules, daily walks, playtime, and quiet companionship, always making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their home environment. I’ve also maintained fish tanks and feeding are kept on schedule. I’m committed to giving pets the same level of care and love they get from their owners. I’m available for pet care Monday through Friday, with the exception of 7:30 a.m to 8:30 a.m during weekdays while I take my kids to school and 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, as I have class. I also have two kids, so while I’m open to evening visits after 5 p.m. and on weekends, they would need to come with me. As long as that’s okay with you and your pet, I’m happy to help during those times too! I’m flexible and always aim to make things work for both you and your animals. I provide all pet care in your home, where your pets feel most comfortable and secure. I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or crate cleaning, and any special instructions like medications or favorite activities. Keeping your fur baby in their familiar environment helps reduce stress while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for until you return.
About: Hi friends! My name is Katee and I have cared for animals nearly my entire life; my family has always owned some type of animal. I have owned reptiles, birds, rodents, cats and dogs. I have experience with kittens and puppies, and even newborn kittens. I have previously gone to school for veterinary science and worked at a veterinary clinic, but could not handle the darker sides of that job. I absolutely love caring for animals, and their safety is my priority! 🥰 Currently I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your fur baby. I do have a new baby so I do need to come home for her routines, such as bath and bed time. I am available to house sit over the weekends, and can do drop-in’s and walks during the week. I will come to your home and hang out with your baby during the day, including walks and play as desired. I will administer medications, including ear and oral medications and provide baths if needed.
“Brenna was absolutely incredible. Very respectful, understanding, and committed. She was very engaged and learning about our dog, their needs and personalities. My dogs seemed immediately comfortable with her. She was professional while also carrying a sense of familiarity and comfort. She also seems to come with a lot of experience in caring for others.”
About: "Hi there! I’m an all-around animal lover dedicated to keeping your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether you have a playful dog who needs brisk outdoor walks, a sensitive cat who rules the house on their own terms, or small pocket pets with specific routines, I adapt my care to fit their unique personalities. I know how stressful it can be for animals when their humans leave, so I focus on maintaining their exact daily schedules for feeding, play, and rest. I pride myself on being attentive, reliable, and communicative—meaning you'll get plenty of photo updates to give you total peace of mind!" I'm a homesteader. I have plenty of time to attend to your fur baby. Whatever is needed to support them. I will be able to fulfill. I will take care of your fur baby in the way you would approve of. Show or tell me what you expect and I will provide the care
“The is was my first experience with Rover and leaving my Lulu with anyone and it was FANTASTIC! I could not have picked anyone better than Mooney! He treated Lulu like she was his own dog. Trips to the dog park, photo shoots, updates, Mooney was exceptional! It is such a relief to know that I have a great dogsitter now, who is easy to communicate with and loves Lulu as much as I do!”
“Shanti is absolutely wonderful! If I could leave her 10 stars, I would. She is very pleasant, responsible, and she took fantastic care of our two high maintenance cats and the house. I am so happy I found her!”
About: My love for animals began as a child and while I’m a nurse in profession my true passion is caring for our furry friends! My home is warm and safe. I’m physically capable of and used to walking dogs of all sizes. I understand that pets are family and it is my top priority to keep them safe. In addition, I also respect ones privacy and home. Your home will be treated as such and protected by ensuring doors shut and locked completely. I mind my business and give your animals the love and attention they deserve. I get to do what I love and get paid for it, your animals are happy and you have peace of mind....it’s a win win situation :-) I am a stay at home mom. So I am present majority of the time. A typical day would consist frequent potty breaks, water/meal, walks and socializing at the dog parks. I provide loving attention, direction and care. I have two dog parks in my apartment complex to enjoy as well as a trail. Animals are always treated like family in my care.
“We have never had anyone stay at our house with our animals before, so the idea of leaving them with a complete stranger was very daunting. Sydney was absolutely wonderful with our two big, rambunctious dogs (2 year old huskies) and four cats. Our house was exactly as we left it and she sent lots of updates so we could see everyone’s sweet faces and how much fun they were having without us! She was terrific about updating us when she got here and letting us know how everything was going. She was always very responsive through the whole process, and it was very clear our animals were all comfortable and enjoying their normal routine with her. We will absolutely have Sydney back, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
“Brandie took such great care of Coco and of my house. She was great sending me updates and pictures. I came home to a happy calm pup who had clearly gotten lots of love. I will definitely be booking Brandie again!”
About: Animals have pretty much always been a part of my life! I grew up always having an animal in the home, and most people who know me jokingly describe my house as a zoo. Currently, I have one dog, two cats, and a fish tank, so caring for animals is genuinely just part of my everyday life. I also spent two years working at Petco, where I got hands-on experience with all kinds of animals, including reptiles, birds, fish, and small animals. I know every pet has their own personality, quirks, and routine, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, fins, or scales, I’ll make sure they get plenty of care, attention, and love while you’re away! 🐾 I’m currently working as a substitute teacher so I can come by before school and after school so think anytime before 7:30 and after 3pm. I also babysit part time so my scheudle can be a little busy. I’m happy to work with you to figure out a schedule that works best for you and your family. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll follow their normal routines closely, pay attention to their individual needs, and make sure they’re in a safe and secure environment at all times. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I’ll care for them with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own animals. 🐾❤️
“Rima was amazing! She took really great care of our fur baby and our house. We never really leave our dog alone or with anyone else that’s why I was a little worried how she’s going to be. Also, our dog sometimes gets anxious around new people, but Rima was super sweet and our fur baby bonded with her really quick, which gave me a piece of mind for leaving her in a caring hands.”
About: Cats are my favorites creatures on this planet and I've been caring for them so long its second nature In 2016 i began my journey of dog love when i met my first dog soulmate skyley who was a black and white rat terrier. Ive had in total about 5 years caring for dogs. Feeding them, walking with them, spending time with them ect Pet care is an important part of my weekly life for personal reasons. It also fits well for business reasons I live at my work so I’m available often and will be able to look after your pet morning afternoon and night in between my day. With the utmost care, I want them to feel comfortable and safe while you are away so that will be my main focus is they’re comfortability
“Highly recommend! Very responsive when we reached out and took great care of our dog while we were out of town! Based off the pictures it looked like Bristol had a great time and we’ll look to book Giulia for our future trips!”
About: I have seven years of experience working with wild animals- mainly black bears, Mexican wolves, and Pacific fishers. In handling these animals, among other species, I have taken rectal temps and know how to count breaths/minute and heartbeats/minute. I have administered fluids and vaccines via syringe, and have drawn blood many times. In between my wildlife work, I have watched many dogs, from a 6 pound chihuahua to a 130 Great Dane puppy. I have stayed in-house and have also stopped by for potty and walk breaks. I can take your dog on a 5 mile walk every day if that’s what it’s into! Or, we can snuggle on the couch and watch a movie. Your pet’s experience will be uniquely tailored to its needs. I’m a wildlife biologist working seasonally in town. My wildlife work will begin again in March, but, until then, I would love to spend some time with domestic animals! I love and care for all kinds of animals- whether mammalian, avian, amphibian, or reptile. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the pet(s) and the home as if it were my own. Pets receive lots of love and attention and walks and treats, while the home is kept clean. I will bring my own food for the days that I am staying there and will make sure everything that I own is gone and the house is clean when you return.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Alicia walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Alicia maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Alicia choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
