“Heather was so great taking care of our kitty while we were away. You can tell she’s very experienced with the questions she asked and the way she interacted with him during the meet and greet. She even brought him a feather to play with so he could familiarize himself to her scent a few days before and it’s now his new favorite toy. Would recommend Heather for any family who wants to ensure their fur babies are loved and cared for like their own. Chessie’ says thank mew very much!!”

About: I’ve had pets around my home since I was five years old and my family adopted my cats Rex and Sally, a bonded brother/sister pair. From that young age I was always expected and taught to help with the pets’ care, even the less glamorous parts. Later in my life we adopted my dog, Bella, who I diligently made sure got her daily walks, play, and food. While Rex and Sally have unfortunately passed (Sally in 2018 and Rex in 2025 at the age of 21), I currently still have two lovely kitties, both of which have very different personalities (one is very affectionate and the other is skittish), and I always ensure to accommodate the both of them and their unique needs for their boundaries. I work part time and am also a student, so my main availability is mornings and late afternoons/evenings. Though, my schedule often works out that I have plenty of hours to take care of furry friends! At my house I have plenty of toys and stimulation set up for my two cats, and it’s the same when I’m visiting my dog (she currently lives out of state with my dad). I always make sure to learn a pet’s individual personality and cater how I care for them to it! I know some animals absolutely adore a high level of energy, while others respond better to calmness, and I’m always sure to factor that in for whatever I’m doing for them.

About: Hi! I'm Jenny :) I am an experienced and caring pet caregiver with a professional background in animal care. I am bilingual in Korean and English and can communicate clearly and comfortably in both languages. I have worked as a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital and as a professional pet sitter through a pet-sitting company. Through these experiences, I have cared for pets with different personalities, routines, energy levels, and special needs. As a professional pet sitter, I was often complimented for my detailed and thoughtful pet-sitting reports, and some clients specifically requested me again because they appreciated my care, reliability, and communication. Although I work full-time, caring for animals has always been a very meaningful part of my life. I truly love animals and want to continue caring for as many pets as I can, which is why I keep fostering cats and offering pet care through Rover. I will care for your fur-babies with patience, love, professionalism, and close attention, so you can feel at ease while you are away. I can’t wait to meet your pets! :) I work full-time, but I do my best to be flexible with my schedule. I am usually available for visits early in the morning or in the evening. If you need a different time, of course we can talk about it and adjust to make it happen! :) When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow the pet parent’s instructions, including feeding routines, medication needs, litter box or potty routines, house rules, and any dos and don’ts. I focus on each pet’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level. I am happy to play, comfort, and spend quality time with them, while also keeping a close eye on their behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. I will treat your home with respect and provide clear updates so you can feel comfortable and reassured while you are away.

I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting on weekdays and weekends. I always make time to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while keeping owners updated. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities.

About: I took care of my black lab for 8 years, including feeding, giving medications, bathing and walking. I raised my cat from 6 weeks forward, cleaning litter boxes, feeding, giving attention to/playing with, and giving any medicines needed. I currently have a 4 and 5 year old cat. I also regularly volunteered at the cat Cafe in Murfreesboro, TN before I relocated to the area. There I was responsible for playing with the cats, feeding them and cleaning litter boxes. I have worked at an animal hospital where I have gained knowledge about medical situations and some medication giving. I am also a professional toy fixer! I am currently in between jobs so I do have mostly open availability until this changes or if I have to block some time off for an interview. I am willing to stay as long as needed to keep your furbabies happy and make sure they are fully taken care of. Being sure to leave your home exactly how it was when I arrived.

“Sanya must be a kitty wizard - My two boys have never been so calm and happy upon my return from vacation. She fed them their special food, entertained them while doing her task (as shown in the many pics I got over her time taking care of them) and made them completely comfortable, which is no small feat with these two shy and picky ones! I highly recommend her!!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, from working breeds on the farm to small companion dogs, cats, and fish. I’ve pet sat for family, rescued animals, and learned that every pet has their own personality and needs. As a rescue dog mom myself, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat every animal in my care like family, whether they need playtime, extra attention, or simply a little patience and companionship. I have a very flexible schedule. Whether overnights or dropping by, Let me know what time or day you need me and I will be there. It all depends on the animals personality, and needs. I will do whatever the instructions or recommendations are with a personal touch of a whole lot of love.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and a wide variety of small household pets. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of looking after animals of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience, comfort, and attentive care. I’m especially experienced in supporting older dogs and cats, including those with mobility challenges or special routines. I’m comfortable administering medications as directed and understand the importance of consistency, observation, and clear communication when it comes to your pet’s health and well-being. Whether your pet needs playtime and exercise, gentle companionship, or specialized care, I strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel secure and happy. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and building trust so they feel right at home while you’re away. I currently pet sit part-time because spending time with animals truly means so much to me. After recently losing a few of my own beloved pets, I’ve found a lot of comfort in caring for others and sharing that same love and attention. It’s incredibly rewarding to connect with each pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely from feeding schedules and walks to playtime, litter care, and any medications, while making sure your pet feels safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I take the time to give them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship, and I’m always attentive to their behavior and needs. I also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Hello to every cynophile and ailurophile on here. My name is Carmen and I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California and if you are familiar with people from LA, you know we LOVE ALL animals. I grew up with a big family who loves animals and since I can remember we’ve always had pets at home. Back in LA we have 4 dogs, 1 turtle and now added to that 5 love birds! Anyways, I no longer live there and moved to the east coast with my partner about 2 years ago. Our new home now houses just 2 cats. One of them is a tabby cat who is 6 years old named Blinchik. He is a very outgoing cat that loves everyone and everything. My other cat is named Nala (Siamese/Tabby) and she is quite the opposite from Blinny boy. She loves to keep to herself and takes a while to trust anyone but once she is warmed up you can see her beautiful shy personality. I used to be a nanny which also meant I took care of their pets as well. I have lots experience taking care of other families pets as well as administering medications when needed. Since I’ve been a dog and cat mom, I treat other families pets like they are my own. I’m currently in grad school to become a Speech-Language Pathologist which gives me a lot of extra time to take care of your fur babies 🩷 I’m currently in my graduate program to become a Speech-Language Pathologist. I’m in school Monday-Thursday with only one class a day. That being said, it gives me lots of extra time in the afternoon/evening to fill up with some dog walking, pet sitting, and playing time. My home has a fenced yard so if your fur baby is staying with me, they will have the yard all to themselves to run around and have fun. If I am coming to your home, know that I will respect it and get the job done as well as loving your pet as if they were my own.

About: Hello! My name is Svetlana.
I have over 6 years of experience working with animals — both cats and dogs. I am responsible, attentive, and caring. My goal is to provide your pet with comfort, safety, and individualized attention in a loving home environment. BOARDING Please read the following information carefully before booking. 1. Pets in the Home
I have an intact male Cocker Spaniel and a Maine Coon cat living in my home.
For this reason, I do not accept unspayed females. 2. Number of Pets
I accept pets from ONE family at a time — maximum two dogs.
I do not host pets from multiple families at the same time so I can give my full attention to your pet. 3. Required Documentation
Before confirming your booking, I require proof from a licensed veterinarian of: * Rabies vaccination * DHPP vaccination * Date of the most recent deworming treatment 4. Dog Size and Breeds
I accept small and medium-sized dogs of all breeds. Dogs over 40 pounds are accepted ONLY if they are f they are friendly with other dogs and cats. 5. Walks and Daily Routine.
I only work 16–20 hours per week, so I am able to easily provide three 30-minute walks per day: * 7:30–8:00 AM * 1:30–2:00 PM * 7:30–8:00 PM This schedule allows me to give your pet plenty of attention and keep them under close supervision throughout the day. If you are boarding a puppy, I can adjust my schedule to provide walks every 2 hours (until 10:00 PM). Longer walks can be arranged separately.
There is a 4-mile trail near my home where we enjoy walking during the spring and fall. 6. Medications
I can administer oral medications if prescribed by a veterinarian.
I do not administer injections. 7. My home is always clean, odor-free, and smoke-free — I believe this is essential for your pet’s health and well-being. 8. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in caring hands. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pup or kitty, providing love, attention, and companionship from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. 🐾 As an experienced animal carer who truly considers pets family, I’m great with cats and small- to medium-sized dogs. I’m also a responsible pet sitter who will always be reachable and happy to send plenty of pictures of your furry ones.

I could not be happier withy my first Rover experience and that I was fortunate enough to find Nicole! Throughout our entire vacation I felt so relaxed because I knew my fur babies were in good hands. Nicole is very sweet and it is very apparent how much she loves animals by the way she cares for them. I looked forward to the daily reports and photos, her communication was top notch! And best of all, my kitties loved her too!

Kelsey is the most amazing cat sitter we've ever gotten. She was prompt in her daily updates with pictures and a message of how it went. She is thoughtful, cared for our cat as if he was her own, and assessed how he was feeling every visit which allowed her to gage what she needed to provide (extra play time, a treat, etc).

Valerie is amazing! She was incredibly kind and caring with our kitties, took wonderful care of them, and even went above and beyond by helping with a few extra tasks while we were away. For example, she brought in the many packages we received during our trip, which was extremely helpful. She provided lots of pictures of our kitties during every visit, including photos of their food station and litter boxes, so we could see that everything was clean, neat, and well cared for. We could also tell that the kitties really loved her! They are usually very shy and don’t warm up to new people quickly, so seeing how comfortable they were with Valerie meant so much to us. We are extremely happy with her care and truly appreciate all the help, kindness, and attention Valerie provided. She did an excellent job, and we would absolutely recommend her!

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 .
