About: I have cared for puppies, large dogs, small dogs, kittens and cats of all shapes and sizes, chickens and birds, sheep, goats and various farm animals for over 20 years! I care deeply about their happiness and wellbeing whether they're my animals or ones I see/find out and about. I own my own business running an online farm stand so my animals follow me around the farm or find a sunny place to snooze all day everyday! As I manage my own schedule I can slip away multiple times a day with no issue for your pets walks or potty breaks! **For daycare, my cats stay upstairs inside while dogs are here and the chickens are in a coop/run and when they're free ranging, they are within an electric fence, so theres no concern about accidents with dogs with high prey drive. However if your dog is really anxious and unhappy around smaller animals, please let me know, and we may be able to spend the day out and about or out of sights and sound of the farm animals. All the animals safety and comfort are top priority! I can provide play, snuggles, meds or medical care, brushing, food, water, treats, lots of pets or just some company and baby talk for visits and walks. I am an honest and reliable person and I take the care of animals whether mine or otherwise, pets or wild, incredibly seriously.
“Sarah stop by the house a week before the booked day to get to know my dog and the routine. She is very pleasant. I booked her for two visits. Upon arriving home my 8 month puppy was very content. Everything went as planned. I will certainly use her again the next time I am away. I would recommend her services.”
“Jordan did a great job looking after my cat and home! A tree fell and took out power lines leading to my place. Jordan contacted Golden Valley right away rather than telling me about it and leaving it up to me while I was 3000 miles away. I won’t hesitate to contact her first next time I have to travel.”
“Tessa is so wonderful! Our dogs did extremely well with her for her 1st time meeting them. We appreciated her patience with the boys, and that she came from the distance that she did to meet and get to know them.”
“Sammy did a great job looking after my energetic kitty for a few days. She came twice a day and played with her and sent me many pictures! I was nervous about leaving my kitty for the first time, and she put my mind at ease. Will book again!”
“Elias took fantastic care of my tricky kitty, including administering meds in food and dealing with frozen wet food (Smalls) which is trickier than scooping dry food or opening a can. They were very responsive communication-wise and enthusiastic. I will definitely turn to them again for kitty care when I next leave town.”
About: Ive been taking care of pets since high-school, from great danes to kitties! Including but not limited to great-danes, pitbulls, hounds, labs and kitties! I am good with animals of all temperaments, from timid and not sure to excited to see anything! I love all animals and would love to help with all your pet and house needs. I am currently part time and can work around your schedule as well. I already get up to take care of my hound, pitbull and kitties. I would love to help you out as well! I love animals and have experience with the animals that also make a mess. I change litter boxes and I can even clean up after the ones who can't always hold it. I feed, and give fresh water. I walk dogs and also have experience with pulling. I can also just let them out if trained to do so and hangout with them as needed!
About: I tend to be fun, responsible, and calming for them. I like it and take pride in it. The best thing about caring for animals, is seeing their personalities, what they consider manners, and seeing them light up when they're being respected on their terms too. The best part of my mornings on my family farm, is taking a hike with the Bassett. Neither of us are satisfied with our morning until it happens. She needs it, and deserves it. While I'm away from her, I need to hike, or I get soft I ask owners what their pets needs and personalities are. What they consider manners, and if they are tricksters, what to expect. All animals are their own kind of person, and they deserve to be treated as such.
“Julie was punctual and very attentive to Parker, my elderly cat, and took time to get to know him a bit as well as manage his feeding with auto feeders and give his medication. I will be happy to have her again when the occasion arises.”
“Eva did again an awesome job! This time we had a longer vacation, and she right away agreed not only to take care of our cat but also to feed the fish. Her communication was great throughout the entire time. I knew there was nothing to worry about. Everything was in perfect order when we got home.”
“Brandy provides thorough and loving care to your critters when you need to be away. We are so grateful for the gentle care she provided our kitties (and the chicken care too)! Brandy also provided oral and topical meds for our older cats. We highly recommend her.”
“Cyan was so kind to our senior dog. She followed her lead, gave her treats and was so patient. We are so grateful that Cyan could care for our old lady dog while we were out for the day. She is a wonderful communicator and clearly an animal lover. I highly recommend Cyan!”
“Do your pets a huge favor and let them be cared for by Michelle….what a wonderful pet sitter…. Plenty of attention and body rubs and scrubs !!! Our pets were so blessed to have Michelle as their temporary mama !”
“Hannah is the best! She surpassed any hope or expectation we had when looking for someone to visit our two dogs while we were completing an out-of-state relocation complicated by last-minute schedule changes. It was great to know our best friends were in good hands, and they seemed to thoroughly enjoy their time with Hannah, who kept us up to date with pictures and notes and answered all of our questions. If we need a pet sitter again at any point, she is the first person we’ll look for, and we highly recommend her for your pets, as well.”
“Samantha took amazing care of our two cats, Misty and Lou, over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. She provided detailed notes for each check-in, asked questions proactively, took the cutest photos of our fur babies, and took great care to clean everything at the end of the final check-in. We loved her service and will absolutely enlist her in the future!”

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.

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 .
