Over the last decade, I have provided responsible care for my family's cat and two dogs as well as friends, relatives, roommates, and clients. This includes overnight care, playtime, walks, visiting the dog park, mealtime, oral medication, and more! One of my dogs, Toby, I helped to train as a puppy.

My time spent with your pet would be on top of my current work. I am willing to work with you to accommodate your pet’s needs! I will always come to you to take care of your pet. On top of the information we discuss regarding your pets environment and habits, I am very attentive to the environment that I am in and double check that what I am doing for the animal and for myself is a safe choice. I am open and flexible, and I try to get to know each pets’ unique personality to understand how they will behave in certain situations.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life—rescues, purebreds, young, senior, feathered, and scaled. My deep love for animals drives me to provide attentive, compassionate care to every pet as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience with pets who have medical needs, including diabetes, and understand the stress that can come with managing those conditions. I aim to offer not just reliable care, but true peace of mind for pet parents. I’m currently in Cedar Park, TX and available for pet sitting and dog walking through August 17th.

About: I have been a registered veterinary technician for 10 years.

I would love to spend time getting to know you and your pet, and am always interested in learning what they need and what makes them most comfortable. I'm currently working part time, so I have a lot of availability! I'm available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I am unfortunately unable to offer overnight care at this time. From walks and playtime, to feeding and medicating, I know the importance of making sure that pets are getting the care they need, while assuring that they're as safe and comfortable as possible while they're with me.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, primarily caring for cats and dogs. My experience includes dog walking, feeding, playtime, administering basic routines, and cleaning litter boxes. I’ve especially worked with older cats and dogs, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care they often need. I also have two cats of my own back home, giving me firsthand experience in daily responsibilities and expectations of being a pet owner. Because of this, I’m very mindful about my care towards your pet! I’m currently a second-year, first-generation student at CU Boulder, balancing school and a Work-Study position. I’m generally available Thursday through Monday after 1 PM and can be flexible with advance notice. When I house sit I treat every home with respect, focusing on your pet while you’re away. I understand leaving your home and furry friend to a stranger can be worrisome so I do my best to comfort your pet and keep your space the way you like it.
About: I love dogs (and cats!) of all personalities and especially love being active with them, such as going on hikes or jogs, playing fetch, or simply hanging out at the park. I love getting to know each animal's unique personality and learning what makes them them! I am available outside of the following hours: 2-4:30pm Monday-Friday, 5:30-7pm Mondays and Thursdays, and 4-6pm on Wednesdays. Other than these times, I am free to be booked! I have a large, fenced in yard with no other pets, which is great if your pet has trouble around other animals. I also live very close to North Boulder park! And when I am caring for your animal at your home, I am mindful of private spaces and boundaries, and I always make sure to entirely clean up after myself.
About: Hi, I’m Eva! I’ve spent over 12 years caring for animals—everything from my neighbors' pets to my own beloved dogs and horses. I also have hands-on experience training both dogs and horses, which has taught me a lot about patience, communication, and animal behavior. As a college student without pets of my own right now, I truly miss being around animals. That’s why I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry friend and give them all the attention, love, and playtime they deserve! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my mornings and evenings around feeding, walks, and playtime. On a weekly basis, I also make time for grooming, enrichment activities, and longer walks or hikes. I love being active, so integrating pet care into my day never feels like a chore, it’s something I genuinely look forward to. Caring for animals fits into my life because it’s something I’m passionate about and prioritize every day. In both my home and my client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for pets. I always follow any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or walking routes. I give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and I make sure they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. Cleanliness, consistency, and communication are really important to me, so I also keep the home super clean!

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
