About: Ive been around animals my whole life. I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was 8 years old with my family and have had my own cat on my own for a few years now. This includes puppies, kittens, senior dogs and cats, and anything in between. I believe every animal deserves the best care they can get and there is no such thing a a bad animal, only bad owners. Im very high energy but also very patient and do a lot of studying in my free time so I can take care of high energy animals or animals who do nothing! I am also a firm believer on not harshly punishing animals ESPECIALLY hitting them, I’d rather redirect! Im currently wanting to make this a full time gig on top of doing DoorDash in between visits if I’m not staying full time! If I’m staying full time the only time I’d leave the house is to go to the gym, but if that’s not possible in a specific situation that is okay! I can do anything your animals needs at your home. Whether it be going for a walk/run or playing, as Im very athletic. Cleaning litter boxes or picking up poop. Washing dogs or cats. If they want to cuddle or just run around Im good with anything!
About: I grew up with lots of pets from horses and chickens to dogs and cats, we always had someone to keep company. I took much of this responsibility as it’s fun to spend time with the animals! I also worked at a dog and cat boarding kennel called Anderson Creek Kennel in Ludington, Mi for 4 years and loved every second I got to spend with the fur babies. I’m currently working part time during the week with 6 hour shifts as my longest. I’m free most weekends and would love to provide animal care in the mornings, evenings, or weekends I have a large vehicle that can hold animals of a variety of sizes to get them to parks or wherever they need to go!
About: I’ve owned and/or taken care of over 20 dogs in my life ranging from puppies to my 14 year old senior dogs. I currently volunteer at a local shelter to take dogs hiking every week and would love to help get your dog the exercise they need and deserve. As a life long animal lover I’d love to take care of your furry friend! I am currently a senior at GVSU and am looking for a flexible work opportunities! I am available most afternoons and evenings. I go on regular hikes/walks in my free time and would love to bring your dog along! I have many designated walking and hiking routes planned to accommodate different dog temperaments. From friendly playful dogs to dogs who would prefer their own space I can keep them safe.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my love and experience. I have a vast knowledge of animals and have cared for both dogs and cats since the age of 10. I have experience caring for puppies through to elderly dogs involving tasks such as feeding, walking, and bathing. I am able to care for multiple animals at the same time due to my high level of responsibility and the fact that I currently live with 4 dogs and 2 cats. Pet care has been apart of my daily life for as long as I can remember and want to make sure every animal is given excellent care. In my personal life, I take my dogs for walks everyday and make sure they’re fed on time. I feed my cats and give them lots of love throughout the day as well. I get all the information from the pet owner to ensure the animal feels safe and comfortable with me. I take caution when approaching them until they’re use to me as to not scare them. I make sure to either give them lots of love or space depending on the type of animal they are. Mainly just follow the information given to me by their owner while also making sure the animal knows I am their friend.
“Ashel took great care of my cat. I appreciated that she suggested a meet and greet in advance, and she was very patient with my very shy/anxious cat. While I was gone, she was communicative and easy to get a hold of.”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have extensive experience in caring for my own animals (dogs, cats, and rabbits). I also was trusted to watch neighborhood dogs for day check ins and overnight stays. I have experience in caring for elderly dogs with specific dietary restrictions! I’m currently job hunting which leaves my days and nights almost completely free to be with your animals! I’m free for overnight stays as well as daily check ins. I am unable to have animals stay at my apartment due to its small size and my cats. But I have years of experience caring for animals in their homes, I feel confident in my ability to keep your pets happy and well cared for.
About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of them until they were old. I am good with pets loving and stern.I will care for all animals like they are mine.

About: Hello! My name is Emily, I’m 20 Y/O and have been around dogs and cats my entire life, and have had many family and friends trust me to take care of their pets for vacations/trips! My favorite part of the day is coming home to my dog and cat waiting for me at the door! Giving them and receiving some much needed love after a long day is the best way to wind down! I can always make an AM and PM stop/stay nights if needed, however midday sometimes varies! Let me know your preference(s) ahead of time and it should be just fine! I love and can work with all dogs including big dogs, high energy and “sassy” cats, and am good with crating animals if needed.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and love caring for pets of all kinds.

I recently moved to the area and am excited to connect with local pet owners. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like they’re my own! I will give them plenty of attention, care, and love. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or boarding, I’m here to help and make the experience stress-free for both you and your pet! I work part time and have a hybrid school schedule, this gives me plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I keep an active lifestyle which means lots of walks and playtime for your pets. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets are treated like family. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs. I supervise all interactions and ensure pets are always secure, whether indoors or outside. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins for peace of mind.
About: I have many years of experience in volunteering at animal shelters working with all kinds of dogs. I am passionate about being able to help the animals feel loved and happy. I have worked with many ages of dogs from puppies to seniors and I love caring for them all. I currently work part-time in the evenings three days a week, so I have mornings open as well as all day on weekends, excluding Sundays. When caring for pets in a client's home I make sure to keep communication with the owner. I know security is very important as well as respecting the boundaries of the homeowner. The animal's well-being is my top priority so my time will be spent caring for the pet.

Kristina was a wonderful pet sitter! She was caring and loving with our old girl, and followed feeding directions for our ‘special needs’ cat. She sent photos so we could see our kitty, even when we were far away. We will most certainly ask Kristina to visit again! Thank you so much!

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.
