“Dolce was very sweet and knowledgeable. My cat has special eating needs which Dolce was comfortable with. Bey looked happy and healthy when I returned. Dolce also noticed one of my outdoor plants was in need of water. She also took care of that. Thank you”
“Aiyana was great with our two cats. It was our first time using her services and she was great. We have one "hidey" cat and he came out every day to see her which was great. I recommend her for cat sitting - reliable, communicative, and thorough.”
About: I've been taking care of my own dogs since I was a child and have regularly helped neighbors and family friends with their cats and dogs while they were away- even my friend's mice while they were traveling and my previous roommate's three rats. I'm home from college for the summer and would love to spend my time with your pets! I have a very flexible daily schedule that can adapt to the needs of your pet. My parents have two dogs, one of which is very loving but does not handle other dogs very well. Because of this, I'm not comfortable bringing pets back to my home, but I am very willing to come to your pets to take care of and spend time with them. I am available for shorter drop-in visits, with feeding, play time, and/or walks, as well as longer visits and overnight stays with your pet.
“Athena s the ultimate cat care giver! She is conscientious about sharing updates regarding how our cats have been doing in our absence. She is very supportive and easy to work with and has a relaxing presence which was a superb match for our cats. We could not have asked for more and will not hesitate to request her services again!”
About: I have over 6 years experience of house/pet sitting(from another website) caring for a variety of animals, fish, dogs, birds, cats, goats, a donkey, a llama and chickens. I am comfortable and confident with almost all domestic animals. I am a retired Registered Nurse with over 30 years experience in various fields of medicine. I am now a full time house and pet sitter travelling around(by car) the continental US and Canada caring for other's beloved fur family. My past nursing experience plus my 6 years of house/pet sitting has made me highly observant and attentive to the smallest details. While I am calm and easygoing I am also excellent in challenging and emergency situations being both independent and self reliant. I love dogs and cats but do not have any of my own due to my gypsy like lifestyle. I have traveled a fair bit in my life having a curious mind and a zest for learning and experiencing new things. I am very neat and clean.....so your home will be just as you left it while respecting your property.
“Susan took wonderful care of our kitties and home over the weekend. She is reliable and communicated appropriately during the time she cared for the kitties and our home.”
“Emma was the bright candle on my Thanksgiving and birthday week! I became suddenly ill and had to find help fast! Emma was available and worked with me at the last minute to secure care for my 4 cats while I recovered. She is very sweet with my kitties as they are very shy. Great job Emma!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have always had a genuine love for animals! Being around pets throughout my life, along with having an aunt who trains therapy dogs, has given me a strong appreciation for animal behavior, patience, consistency, and positive interactions. My background as a teacher has also helped me develop skills in understanding behavior, adapting to different personalities and needs, and building trust through patience and clear communication. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience with cats as well and understand that every pet has different routines, boundaries, and preferences. Whether your pet is energetic and ready for an adventure, shy and needing a little extra time to warm up, or happiest with a calm companion, I want them to feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I would treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m dependable, attentive to details, and happy to follow your pet’s established routines and any special instructions. Most of all, I would love the opportunity to spend time with your furry family members and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands! I work full-time as a teacher and also support local music nonprofits on Sundays, so I’m thoughtful about the commitments I take on and the time I can dedicate to pet care. I plan to accept bookings that fit comfortably within my schedule, allowing me to be dependable, present, and attentive to each pet’s needs. Rover is a wonderful opportunity for me to make more room in my life for something I genuinely love: spending time with animals! Caring for pets, especially getting out for walks and enjoying the companionship of dogs, would be a rewarding balance to my work in education and music. My availability will vary around my work schedule, but when our schedules align, I look forward to providing reliable, loving care and giving pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I would never take that responsibility lightly. I have cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to keep their routines consistent, pay attention to the little things, and respect their individual personalities. Some cats want lots of attention and playtime, while others prefer to do their own thing until they’re ready to come to you. I’m happy to meet them where they are! For dogs, I love the opportunity to get outside, go for walks, play, and give them some extra companionship while their people are away. I’m also happy to follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter box care, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable. I would care for your pets in their own home whenever possible, keeping their routine familiar and their space tidy. I’m happy to send updates and photos, too, so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away. Above all, I want your pets to feel safe and cared for, and I want you to feel confident that they’re in good hands.
“Kaelin is amazing! She is SO professional and kind! My two rescue pups (mini poodle and terrier) adored her from the moment they met her and my cat Gordito loved her! She has incredible experience working at veterinary offices, and it was obvious from her knowledge and questions. She gave my cat his insulin shot, without any issues! She sent me the most awesome message, letting me know everything she had done, how Gordito was, and sent several pics! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, professional and warm animal sitter!”

Chelsey is the greatest care taker of my cats I have ever had!!! We had a bit of an emergency and had to hire someone on a few hours notice. Chelsey not only accommodated us right away, but she also showed up early , and took pics of the cats, spoke with us on the phone, and really solved all our problems and then some. They are no words, my wife and I can not give her high enough praise. Thank you Chelsey , so so so much 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🥰🥰🥰

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.

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 .
