“Jennifer did a wonderful job taking care of our cats and they warmed up to her immediately. Her great notes, pictures, and video updates while we were away put our minds at complete ease!”
“Therese is wonderful with my 4 kitties. Two of them are very shy and have already accepted her as a friend. She is always responsive, gets the job done, and even humors me about my craziness and over-thorough instructions.🤣”
About: Hi! I've spent many years caring for a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, birds, horses, and goats. My experience with both household pets and larger animals has taught me how to recognize different personalities, understand animal behavior, and provide attentive, compassionate care. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, feeding, playtime, exercise, companionship, or extra patience and attention, I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I understand that trusting someone with your pets is a big decision, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I pride myself on being dependable, detail-oriented, and communicative. You can expect regular updates and photos during each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. I work from home Monday-Friday. I have a few brakes throughout my day. I can stop by on one of my breaks or after I get off work at 2pm. I have a fenced in yard surround by a block wall. We live on a quiet street in a quiet neighborhood. I have 2 pretty good doggos. We will go on walks when its cooler in the day. We have some toys to play with. We will play tug o war and fetch.
About: As a former junior dog musher I have experience caring for everything from four legged athletes to total couch potatoes. I've cared for seniors, puppies, and all dogs in-between. I even have some experience with cats and birds! As an all around lover of pets and a dog owner myself, I understand that nothing is more important than knowing your furry family member is cared for while you're away. My schedule is typically very open as my other obligations are based online as a computer technology student. I am available any day of the week and most holidays. I will always walk dogs on a leash with a secure through the handle loop hold if they are outside in a non fenced space.
“Rachelle was great! Very kind and a lover of cats. She followed all of the instructions, did above and beyond, and updated me with messages and pictures. I definitely recommend!”
About: I've always been an animal lover! Dogs, Cats, farm animals, & reptiles you name it! I've taken care of animals ever since I was young . I rescued some red eared sliders and a chameleon with bone disease previously. I have experience with senior dogs and cats. I work Monday-friday times vary but I can always make it work! I can check in on your fuzzy friend as many times and days as you need. Let's chat! I'm here to make sure your pets are safe and relaxed as much as possible. I can provide walks, car rides, anything you want for your snuggly friend. Everyone has different rules and preferences, and I will respect any rules you have
About: I started caring for animals when I was 10 years old. It became a passion for me. As teenager, I quickly turned it into a business due to my specialized care, love and attention to detail. As an adult, it continues to be a deep love of mine. To not only supply the pets with love and care, but to help families feel at ease when they are away. I say this because I struggle when leaving my pets and I know that it can be anxiety inducing for the humans. I have extensive animal care knowledge that I have developed over my 45 years of working with animals and their owners. I also have experience with special needs animals/ administering medication and monitoring health, including but not limited to: Diabetes (glucose monitoring and insulin delivery), administering Subcutaneous fluids, Thyroid medications (Pinna), antibiotics, etc. I treat every pet as if it were my own, with love, compassion, patience and respect. My goal is to have you and your pet comfortable for the duration of my care. Some of the animals I have experience with but not limited to are: Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Rats, Hamsters, Guinea Pigs, Gerbils, Mice, Birds, Fish, Ferrets, Sugar Gliders, Reptiles (Newts, Bearded Dragons),Turtles, Frogs etc. I love to give daily updates with photos of your loved ones if requested. I work from home and set my own schedule. I have very flexible hours to meet the needs for you and your pets. I can accommodate for special requests...just ask. I spend my time finding new ways to enrich my animal's lives. They are a very important part of my family. I treat every pet like it were my own family. I care for them the way I would want mine cared for. I strive to keep a safe and loving environment for your pets at all times. I offer daily updates including photos if requested. :)
About: I have years of experience with pets of all different ages and needs. I have experience with administering medications or simply going for walks. I’ve worked with dogs and cats from puppy to senior care. I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me plenty of time to give your pets the care and attention they deserve! I’m available daily for walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins, and I’m also available for house sitting most days. I’ll work with you to make sure your pet’s routine is maintained and that they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away! I care for every pet as if they were my own! I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s normal routine while you’re away, so I will carefully follow all instructions and preferences you provide. I’ll make sure to incorporate their favorite activities, treats, and routines while giving them plenty of love, attention, and care so they feel comfortable and happy in their own home.
About: I've had a pet in the house since I was a baby, so dogs and cats are no stranger! Most comfortable with medium and large dogs, but usually like to meet them first so we can get a feel for each other and make sure we're all being safe. Good with reenforcing/ being consistent with prior training. Have emergency fostered week old kittens, cared for cats and dogs of all ages, and consistently owned a staffshire terrior for the past 7 years! Available all days of the week and comfortable within 0700-1900. I'm very aware of the AZ heat and can make accommodations for weather like a cooler temp time or longer home visits. I always want to meet the pet first so we're all being safe. I'd hate for us not to get along or them be frightened of me at any point. Routine is important, as well as knowing their small quirks to better care for them. Refilling food/ water, letting outside, playing/ petting, or just being present are all easy goals for us to achieve together! If you have any questions, I'll always reply at a reasonable time afterwards!
“Last minute I needed a Rover and Nikkole popped up on my recommendations. She was GREAT! She followed the instructions to a T, was on time, and extremely communicative. My 4 year old Australian Shepard can be a lot and Nikkole did a great job playing fetch. My black cat was being initially shy and Nikkole climbed under our bed with churu to show her she was safe, and within 10 minutes the cat was sitting on her lap. Nikkole has become a new go to sitter for me and can’t thank her enough for the last minute help!”
About: I’ve been raising and caring for Cane Corsos since I was 10 years old, giving me extensive experience with large, powerful breeds. While I have a special place in my heart for Cane Corsos, I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities and have experience caring for many different breeds. I’ve also owned three cats throughout my life and currently have one of my own, so I’m equally comfortable caring for feline companions. Growing up around animals has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, exercise, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a gentle giant, or a laid-back cat, I’ll treat them with the same care, patience, and affection I give my own animals. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m free almost all week and early in the morning! I don’t mind overnight stays. Rain or shine. Very flexible with your schedule! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Having raised Cane Corsos since I was 10 and owned cats throughout my life, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals. I always make sure pets have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment with fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and plenty of attention. I’m mindful of securing doors and gates, keeping potentially harmful items out of reach, and following each pet’s specific care instructions. I understand that every animal has a unique personality. Some dogs need plenty of exercise and playtime, while others prefer a relaxed environment. Similarly, some cats love attention, while others need their personal space. I always adapt my approach to make sure each pet feels comfortable and secure. I’ll respect your home, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care I give my own.

I was in a veterinary program all throughout high school which has helped me to learn body language and what animals need. I currently have a belgian malinois/cane corso mix. I spend time training her and making sure she has enough stimulation. I also have two cats! Learning the animals body language and respecting that the home I am in, is theirs. This helps develop trust with the animal and show them that I am there to help them and love them!

“Joann has watched my cat coconut a number of times and has always done a great job. She has always been great with communication and following my instructions on caring for coconut.

About: Since I was born, I have always had at least one animal in my home. I have had a variety of animals in my care throughout my entire life. As an in-home service provider, I am comfortable with being in other homes as part of my daily life. I currently work part time and have full weekend availability. I am also available most evenings for drop ins or dog walks when the weather cools down. Routine and familiarity are important. My goal is to provide your animal with the same level of care in as similar of a way as possible to what they are used to when you are home while I am caring your your pet.
About: This is my dedicated profession, not a side hustle. Your home is fully respected and your pets are backed by absolute safety protocols. I have taken care of pets for over 15 years and am very caring and honest with a deep love for animals of all kinds. Knowledgeable in administering medication and offer reiki healing for additional comfort from anxiety and pain by request. Morning routine - my day starts early with priority breakfast and medication drops. I schedule my routing so your pets eat exactly on their normal morning timeline. Midday blocks - I dedicate my core afternoon hours strictly to extend play and enrichment visits ensuring your active pets get the stimulation they need while you are away. Evening wind-down - Evening visits are reserved for dinner routines and comforting bedtime companionship, wrapping up my day by making sure the pet is settled and safe. Baseline service - Every visit starts with the essentials: replenishing food and water scooping litter box or taking your dog out for a dedicated bathroom and exercise break. The fun stuff - Once the chores are done the rest of the visit is entirely customized. This includes focused back yard fetch or a neighborhood walk for dogs and feather wand playtime for cats. Before leaving, I perform a thorough safety sweep of the house, bring in the mail, rotate the blinds, water plants and ensure your home is completely secure.
About: As a Final Year Veterinary Student I have a strong love for pets of all species, sizes, breeds and personalities. I have experience with many different pet care needs and client desires. Working as a vet assistant has allowed me to gain knowledge that will keep your pet healthy, happy and entertained. I love cuddles and snuggles and can make playtime a memorable experience to keep your dog calm while you are away. I have been a dog owner myself since I was 6 years old when I got my first puppy and dog sit for many college friends while at University. I have experience taking care of mulitple pets at once and for the last 5 years have been Assistant Manager at a Doggy Daycare and Dog Minding Service in Dublin Ireland, where I I honed my professional skills for providing exceptional and personalized care for each pet I have the privilege of caring for. As I am currently studying for final Veterinary Exams, I have open availability and am looking for pets I can spend time with and keep company while their owners enjoying holidays/vacations. Pets I care for are treated as though they are my own. I also respect client homes and believe in the "Leave it better than you found it" mindset. I believe a tired, stimulated dog is a happy dog and it's my main goal everyday with your pet to make sure their needs are my priority while also keeping you informed and updated with pictures and videos of your pets.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Apache Junction
Samantha provided excellent care for our pets. She arrived at the times we requested, fed all and walked our dog. She patiently gained the trust of our dog so that by the end of our trip he was not hesitant to walk. She provided photos and described her visits. She also came for two meet and greets before our trip so she and the pets would be comfortable with each other. I would not hesitate to hire samantha again and highly recommend her services.

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 .
