“Amanda was wonderful to have check on our boys. She communicated when she was headed over and we had no issues. Very professional, you can tell she has experience handling fur babies. Would definitely recommend and will book again in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for high-needs, large-breed dogs. I’ve owned and managed a giant breed with specific behavioral and care needs, so I understand how to handle dogs that require extra patience, structure, and attention. I am very comfortable reinforcing training, including basic commands, boundaries, and consistency with routines. I know how important it is to maintain the rules and expectations you’ve set for your pet, not undo them. I am also attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs, whether that means providing calm companionship, structured activity, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits into my routine primarily on weekends, when I have the time to provide focused, attentive care. I already structure my days around caring for my own pets, so I am very comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, routines, and giving pets the attention they need. Because I work full time and attend school during the week, my availability is limited to weekends for dogs but can do daily cat drop-ins. During that time, I am reliable, consistent, and able to give pets quality care through drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and check-ins. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and needs. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on maintaining consistency with feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and any specific instructions you provide. I also make sure pets get attention and interaction, not just the basics, so they feel comfortable while you’re away. In my home, I provide a structured but relaxed environment. My own dog follows a routine with scheduled feeding, playtime, and rest, including crate time for sleeping, so I am comfortable maintaining similar routines for other dogs if needed. Dogs in my care have time to be active, as well as space to rest and feel secure. I am also experienced with administering daily medications and am comfortable caring for pets with additional needs. Whether I am in your home or mine, my goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible.
“Miranda went above and beyond expectations and formed an immediate bond with my cat- I’m so happy to have found her! She took me as a last minute booking, sent pictures and videos, and gave lots of updates. My cat is picky and doesn’t warm up to many people, but he clearly loved Miranda- I highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 10 years old. I love all animals and have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, birds and exotic animals. I'm available Monday-Friday and some weekends depending on needs. I look forward to assisting you and giving your fur babies lots of love in your time of need. I will be more than happy to provide all necessary care to your fur babies in the comfort of their own home. As well as take on regular walks.
About: I have grown up with and around animals for the last 19 years, my family, friends, and neighbors have always relied on me to walk, feed, and let there dogs out while they are out of town and to feed and take care of their cats. The nickname my family and friends gave me was Snow White because animals always seem to be drawn to me. Within my 19 years I have had 10 cats, 7 dogs, 1 ferret, 2 bunnies, 5 fish, 3 frogs, 3 lizards. This show the wide spectrum of how many different animals I learned to take care of over the years. I am currently not working and just doing school work online so I have plenty of time to hangout and play with your dogs or cats. I am free to sit and hangout with them any time of the day or any time on the weekends If your pet requires any walks I am more than happy to do it for as long as they need or want, ensuring the weather is fit for their comfortably, making sure they are in a safe area. If your pet requires any special care or meal prep just let me know and I will be more than glad to fulfill those needs. I am not afraid to play in the dirt, I’ll bond with your fur baby how ever they wish, following the pace of their choosing.
About: I have been taking care of my family's animals since I was born, dogs primarily. I have also pet sat for families in my neighborhood and always recieve a positive report. In the past I have even had clients recommend me to their other friends who were in need of pet services. I specifically enjoy caring for seniors and aging animals. I currently work very flexible hours and I have availability primarily on nights and weekends. My home and car are clean smoke free environments. I will work with you and your pet(s) to ensure safe quality care. If you select me as your pet sitter I will work to ensure that both you and your furry client(s) are comfortable, safe, and happy. I know that for a dog having a new pet sitter or new walker can be an anxiety inducing time but with my warm inviting personality (and a bag of treats :) I have an affinity for getting animals to like me.
About: I’ve watched dogs for as long as i can remember. Even when my parents went out of town I was always in charge of watching the dogs. For many summers, I have pet sat for all kinds of dogs. I’m looking forward to helping this summer too! I’m currently home for the summer! I just finished up my freshman year of college and I have plenty of time and availability for animals!! I care for pets by checking in every couple hours and also by making sure to spend a substantial amount of time with the animals while they are under my care.
“My first time using rover and I couldn't be more pleased. Nancy was very friendly and prompt. I have a very picky/sensitive senior cat and Nessie seemed to do very well with Nancy. Would very much recommend her.”
“Paige was absolutely wonderful with our two cats! She kept us updated the whole time and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable while we were away. It’s clear she has a genuine love for animals, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
