About: I have over 21 years experience caring for dogs and cats. Through my volunteer work at animal shelters and pet sitting for family and friends I have developed an understanding for pet care needs. I currently have open availability for drop ins for early mornings and late nights to accommodate for 3rd shift. I am avaliable on weekends and some holidays for drop ins and walks but, unfortunately at the moment I'm not available for over night stays or boarding. My schedule is open for most of the day except between 4PM-8PM during the week. When sitting in your home I ensure your pets safety and follow all your care routines. I make sure your fur baby is well taken care of and loved.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, and getting to hang out with a pup is one of my favorite ways to spend my day. I’m also an avid hiker, so if your dogs ever need some outdoor time, I’ll be sure they get it. I have experience with senior dogs, dogs with disabilities, high energy dogs, and more. 100% of my bookings will receive photos of their pets, and if my camera is working, I’ll leave behind a Polaroid of them as well! I work from home, so I am available to stay with your dog all day. I can take them outside for potty breaks, walks, or any other needs 24/7. I have a fenced in yard, and walking trails right next to my house. I also am available to stay over at your home and be with your dog 24/7.
About: Having raised and loved my own cat for 6 years, I understand that cats thrive on consistency and a quiet atmosphere. My home is a welcoming, secure apartment where your pet will receive undivided care and affection. I specialize in solo pet boarding, meaning your cat won't have to share space or compete for attention with other animals. I am reliable, detail-oriented with feeding and litter care, and committed to keeping your kitty happy and relaxed while you are away I dedicate my weekends entirely to pet care, allowing me to build my routine around your cat's specific needs. Because I focus on weekend boarding, your pet will receive consistent companionship, timely feedings, structured playtime, and plenty of undivided attention throughout their entire stay. Safety is my absolute top priority. Your cat will stay in a secure, quiet apartment environment with double-checked windows and doors. Because I strictly offer exclusive care and have no resident pets, there is zero risk of stressful animal conflicts. I maintain a clean, hazard-free home and follow all safety instructions perfectly.
“Kamron did a great job and I chose him because I knew Beignet would like his disposition. I had never been gone this long before and felt comfortable knowing was being looked after by Kamron, I enjoyed the pics of Beignet warming up to him. I will be a repeat client.”
“We have had Jannah as our pet sitter for several times now. She is always excellent. She keeps us well informed on how our cats are doing and our babies love to see her.”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple different dogs, and cats at once. I’ve worked with elderly dogs and dogs who have needed medication as well. I'm available throughout the week so your fur baby will get lots of attention. I’m also available most weekends to pet sit as well! I have a big open yard perfect for your baby to run around in. I have one dog and four cats that are super friendly to everyone.
“Vanessa is a gem!!! She took such good care of my kitty like it was hers. She gave her snuggles And love and that’s all I can ask for. She was great about updating me every day! 10000% going to use again!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, including dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve also been the primary caregiver for my 12-year-old dog, Lola, for years. From keeping up with her daily routine and making sure she’s happy and comfortable to giving her plenty of love and attention, caring for Lola has given me years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of how much our pets mean to us. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and love that I give my own. 🐾💕 I work part-time, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I’m able to work around my schedule to give pets the time and attention they need. I always make sure pets are in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions and keep their pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’m respectful of their home and make sure doors, gates, and pets are secure. Most importantly, I give each pet plenty of attention, patience, and care so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, from smaller breeds to large. I’ve worked at two dog daycares before, working with training dogs; grooming( nail trimming and bathes). My love for animals is very endless, they are better than people sometimes XD! I care for my own animals, so pet care is already a part of my daily routine! I work part time, otherwise my attention is focused on my fur babies at home. My apartment complex has an designed area with ample room for activities that my small dog enjoys and could be offered to my clients. I am flexible, and am great at accommodating to the many different personalities that animals may possess. I have worked at multiple dog boarding facilities that have allowed me to practice caring for many dogs at once and assessing each of their needs individually and accordingly.
About: I have over 17 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I cared for and loved my family dog for 17 years, including daily walks, feeding, bathing, basic training, and senior care. I also have experience as a dog bather, so I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, personalities, and coat types. I’m very attentive to safety, cleanliness, and each dog’s individual needs, and I always treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. Pet care fits pretty easily into my routine. I do work full-time, but I still have a pretty flexible schedule and can make time for your pets. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’m available on weekdays and weekends before 6pm, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine when I can. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and attentive environment and always follow owner instructions carefully. With my dog bathing and grooming background, I am confident handling pets safely and recognizing stress signals or health concerns. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, ensuring they feel secure and loved whether in my home or yours.
“Can not recommend Jayla enough! She was perfect with our kitty who is very affectionate and needs some extra attention. Jayla answered every message very quickly and proactively let me know how things were going, she left the house clean and organized, and Minnie was so happy and loved when I came back. Will definitely be using Jayla again (and again and again) Thank you so so much for everything!!!!”

About: Our family has had two very sweet cats for over a decade. We love them so much. I can always tell how they feel based on their nonverbals. I am happy to rearrange my schedule to meet the needs of the pet parent. Happy to work recurring gigs as well! Please feel free to request drop ins, sitting, and walks. I’m happy to feed, walk, and clean up any messes that your fur babies may have made. If you have any specific requests please don’t hesitate to ask!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for animals and the care, patience, and attention I give each one. I believe pets are family, and I want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and understood. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, respecting their routines, and making sure they receive the attention and affection they deserve. I have experience working with Rover, and I understand the importance of being dependable, communicating with pet parents, and treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether caring for an energetic puppy, helping a senior pet feel comfortable, or giving a shy animal time to warm up to me, I approach every experience with compassion and a willingness to learn. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while making sure their furry family members feel happy, loved, and well cared for. I currently work a morning job with a hybrid schedule, which gives me some flexibility throughout the week. My afternoons and evenings are generally pretty open, making it easier for me to schedule pet care, walks, drop-ins, and quality time with animals. I enjoy being around animals, so pet sitting is something I would love to incorporate into my routine. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents ahead of time to coordinate schedules and make sure their pets receive consistent, attentive, and loving care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions provided by their owner. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and patience while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their fur babies in someone else’s care, so I believe in providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to treat every pet with the same love and consideration I would give my own while keeping their environment clean, safe, and stress-free.
About: I was originally pre-vet and also worked kennel technician jobs, so I have years of experience with dog/cat pet care and medicine administration. I am comfortable caring for any age of pets. I am currently working full time Monday-Friday from 7:30-4. I work from home Monday and Friday, so I have more flexibility those days. I am free every Saturday and Sunday. I also get all holidays off, and am usually available those days/holiday weekends. My apartment complex has a dog park area and I have a personal fenced back area. It is mostly concrete but has some flower beds. I have a cat in my home, and he has been tested with other dogs/cats and keeps to himself. He can be closed off in my room if needed. There is also a guest bedroom that has nothing of importance in there, so if there’s a situation where you’d prefer a safe quiet space for a potentially anxious pet, that should be perfect. I can cater my space to your pet and will give them all the love they want.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Allendale Heights
Betty took great care of our two cats. She also did a great job communicating, letting us know if she was going to be a bit late to a check-in and even sending pictures of proof of cleaning the litter boxes 🙂. She also made friends with our less social cat, which was wonderful to see!

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 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.
