“Isabella did a great job taking care of our senior cat. She communicated right away when Punkin was too stressed and anxious to give her medicine. She suggested another way which worked well. The communication every day through Rover eased my mind about leaving Punkin by herself. We will definitely be using Isabella again.”
“Karla went above and beyond to take care of our two cats while we were out of town, giving me total peace of mind with timely check-ins and photos. I could tell my kitties loved her. Thank you so, so much! Responsible, trustworthy sitter!”
“Thanks so much for watching the boys this week! And of course for always going above and beyond, like taking the trash down and turning off the water when the toilet didn’t stop running. Always the best. We appreciate you!”
“Bradley has been our sitter for over a year now and is always wonderful! Very knowledgeable with the app and he's got the street smarts to keep your pets happy and healthy. 10/10 would recommend😁”
“This is the second time I have had this lovely couple babysit my cat while I was out of town! The attention to detail is outstanding and I will continue to re book. I feel extremely at ease leaving town when they are checking on my cat. Thank you again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ruth was wonderful with our three cats! She took the time to learn their routines and made sure each of them was comfortable and cared for during her visit. She was very communicative, sending thoughtful updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she truly cares, and we came home to happy, relaxed cats. We’ll definitely be booking Ruth again.”
About: I have always had dogs growing up. I have over 10 years of experience with dog sitting and walking, and I love taking care of them and loving on them. Animals have a way of speaking to my heart and I love to play with them and spoil them with love. They’re great cuddle buddies and are always there for you Even on your worst days. This is my passion and I’m here to help you out with your fur babies! RULES FOR DOG SITTING: I am stating this because of my personal experience. All dogs must be bathed before sitting, and your home must be clean and sanitary including any bedding, sheets, towels I may be using, and all surfaces in the kitchen and bathrooms. I am going to be taking care of your fur baby, so I expect them and your home to be cleaned up and sanitary while I am in your home, just as you expect me to keep your fur baby safe, taken care of, and healthy. All supplies required for your dog during their stay must be supplied upon sitting. I am unable to spend money for dog supplies or any cleaning supplies. I also will not pet sit at your home if there are any people/family members there. I pet sit alone and I do not require or need assistance due to my experience. Upon arrival, if I find any of my rules stated not up to standard, I most likely will reach out to rover for help if I am not comfortable staying in an unclean environment. Thank you for your understanding! I currently work nights 4 days a week. I will be home to watch and care for your fur babies during the day while they are awake and have 3 days off to spend with them! I can watch max two of your fur babies at a time as long as they get along with other dogs. I am not accepting cats to watch right now In my home.
“We had Elizabeth come for a drop in visit for our two cats over the holidays and she did everything they needed in our absence. She is very communicative and was attentive to the animals and our needs!”
“Amber was awesome and I’ll definitely try to schedule her again the next time we’re out of town. She did drop-in visits for my two kitties, and her reports were great! She was thorough, detailed, professional and of course great with the fur babies.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I have experience with all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, small animals, reptiles, and more. My husband and I currently have 6 cats and 2 dogs so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. ❤️ Safety is always my #1 priority. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, body language, and individual needs. Whether your pet is outgoing and wants to be my best friend immediately or needs a little extra time and patience to warm up, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. I also know firsthand just how particular animals can be! If your pet will only eat in a certain room, needs their food prepared a specific way, prefers you to stand nearby while they eat, has a special feeding routine, or has any other little quirks I completely understand. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and keeping their routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away. I have a Corgi if that helps confirm anything 😂 I’m happy to follow specific instructions for feeding, treats, walks, potty routines, medications, crates, sleeping arrangements, playtime, or anything else that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable. No detail is “too much” when it comes to your animals, you know them best, and I want to care for them the way you would. Most importantly, I want you to be able to leave home without worrying about whether your pets are safe, comfortable, and being loved. I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and care I’d want someone to give my own. And yes, I’m absolutely the type of sitter who will happily send you plenty of pictures and updates so you can see how your babies are doing while you’re away! 🤍 My husband and I work from home but our job does require a lot from us so I am only able to provide sporadic walks/drop ins during the week day. Weekends are definitely more open! I am able to provide care inside and outside of my home. One of my dogs is reactive on walks however he is best friends with our other dog who is much smaller. He would be perfectly fine with a smaller dog in our house but I am not comfortable bringing a bigger dog into his space. We have a pretty decent size, fenced in back yard for them to run around.
“Azalya was an amazing sitter for my 2 dogs, she took care of them as if they were her own, she even brought over treats and toys for my dogs to play with. I will definitely be hiring her again when I go out of town. Thank you again.”
“We are so pleased with the care Shannon provided to our only "child" while we were away! Shannon communicated very well and made us feel like she was treating our baby like she would treat her own. We are so happy we found her and will continue to use her during our frequent travels. Thank you, Shannon!”

I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, administering oral/topical medications, and following each pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once. I have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your fur babies. ❤️ I treat every pet I care for with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, long walks, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them most comfortable.

Isabella was fantastic. She was great with our babies. They were always so excited when she came over for her drop in. She spent the time with them and made sure they were well taken care of. She went above and beyond and helped with a few issues that came up as well. I highly recommend her, we will be booking again with her!

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.

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 .
