About: I have worked at animal clinics, pet boarding/daycare facilities, pet stores, and volunteered at animals shelters. I am currently trying to enroll into Veterinary Technician school as well! I currently do work full time on weekdays but I have availability after 5:30 PM most days. However, I am completely free on weekends. Safety and Comfortable are my biggest concerns. I would never want an animal to feel uncomfortable in their own home. I will never force them to greet me and I will never invade their space if given obvious signs.

About: Hi! I'm Beth and I absolutely love animals. I have grown up owning dogs in my family and have been a professional pet sitter for the last 15 plus years. I have taken care of dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, frogs, turtles/tortoise, and fish, some pets with medical needs such as shots or extra medications, and young foster puppies who needed extra care. As an in-home house/pet sitter, you get the added benefit of having someone trustworthy in your home making sure your belongings and home are taken care of while you are out on business, vacation, or family emergencies. I am more than happy to grant you that peace of mind. I have taken care of dogs from 7lb yorkies to 140lb rottweilers, I love them all! I'd love to be your trusted source for pet sitting.

I care for pets in their homes to increase their feeling of safety and security. I am happy to continue the schedule you already maintain with them, feeding at specific times, medications if needed and discussed, and playing with them and their favorite toys or activities.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, my family had both Dachshunds (wiener dogs) and cats, so I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to two Bernese Mountain Dogs, ages 7 and 2, who have given me plenty of experience caring for large breeds with big personalities! I also lived with cats during college, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Through the years, I’ve learned that every pet has its own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company, I understand how important it is to provide patient, attentive, and loving care. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust goes into leaving your furry family members with someone else. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and treated like family while you’re away! I work a consistent schedule Monday through Wednesday from 7 AM to 3 PM and have the flexibility of working remotely on Thursdays and Fridays.

I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that best fits your pet’s needs and routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is in good hands. I strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where every pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality, whether that means plenty of playtime, a quiet place to relax, or extra cuddles and attention. With two Bernese Mountain Dogs of my own, I understand the importance of proper introductions, supervision, and respecting each animal’s boundaries. I always follow your pet’s normal feeding, exercise, and care routines to help them feel as comfortable as possible. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!

About: I’ve had many pets starting at such a young age. Everyone in my family has dogs of every breed, size, and age so I feel like I’m equipped to handle most dogs. I’ve always loved cats as well and just recently adopted a cat, I know how to handle them too. As for small animals, I have pet rabbits, hamsters, and chickens. I can handle and care for most small animals. I babysit my family’s animals and friends animals when needed. I also took veterinary classes in high school so I understand what kind of care and attention goes towards everyone’s fur babies! :) Im currently in college and have a part time job early every morning besides Tuesdays and Sundays(I’m a barista). I’m usually free all day after 9am - 11am most days. Caring for my animals is making sure they are happy, content, and to give them love and attention anytime I can get to it. I currently have a senior dog who I have to keep close attention to and open ears to make sure she isn’t struggling to go outside, needs a good back rub, or needs to be fed. My rabbits have a schedule when to eat so I know how to follow instructions on when and what to feed other people’s pets. I’m very patient, understanding, and, fast it comes to some animals being shy/ scared or having extra amounts of energy that’s hard to contain at moments.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Barker
I hired Carole to take care of my beloved cats while I was away on a two‑week trip, and she was absolutely amazing. When I came home, my cats were happy, healthy, and incredibly well cared for. It was clear they received a lot of love and attention every single day. Carole did an excellent job with my cats during my time away. Her dedication and attention to detail gave me so much peace of mind while I was traveling. I am extremely grateful for everything she did. Without a doubt, Carole will be my go‑to person every time I need to travel and leave my babies in someone’s care. Highly recommend her!

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.
