“I booked her literally for a 6 minute meet and greet on the first visit. I’m very pleased that she agreed to this because I’ve had other people tell me no before. I’m excited to use Isabella’s services!”
“Joshua is a great communicator and takes such good care of our cat when we’re away. He’s great at following the directions we provide and sharing pictures and recaps of his visits. He’s trustworthy and we know he truly cares about our fur baby. Thank you, Joshua!!!”
About: * All dog Walks include basic skill work (sit, heel, stay, and to walk calmly next to you) Volunteered and worked with the SPCA as a dog trainer, walker, and pet supervisor to nursing home visits. I have been trained in positive reinforcement techniques as well as worked through dog obedience training. I love encouraging a happy and well-mannered dog through treats (toys or food), plenty of exercise and socialization. I am an extremely active person with three medium sized dogs myself. We enjoy daily runs and plenty of play time - I work part-time and do not have children, so most of my time is devoted to my pets. I am available to walk/run with your dog, watch them overnight (boarding at my house preferred), as well as make house visits. One of my favorite hobbies is taking portrait photos of your furry-pets! So rest assured you will receive cell phone pictures and usually a high quality professional camera photo of your fur baby as well! (See photos for examples) Please allow me the pleasure of loving on your pet while you are away 🐾💕 I am a wedding photographer and currently on my break as my busy season just ended. My daily schedule is free to devote to my clients and my own pets! I value safety and believe communication is extremely important, both between the client and I and between your pet and myself. Being aware of your pets needs, anxiety levels, and demeanor is helpful to build trust with your pet and establish a calm and productive training walk :) Please let me know if anything comes to mind in the message on additional safety steps your home or pet requires.
“Karla was excellent! She was prompt, and took excellent care of our pups. Communication was excellent and she sent us pictures as well which we really appreciated! We will definitely be booking her again :)”
“Ruth was simply amazing! From the contact with me, to all the amazing time she spent with my cats! I couldn't recommend her any higher than 5 stars, but she deserves 100! Even my shy cat came out to great her a few times! She gave me peace of mind that my cats were well cared for and safe!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! We booked her very last minute and she was so communicative, punctual, and did great with our 10 month old puppy that’s full of energy. She sent a photo and kept us updated the whole time. Will definitely be utilizing her services again.”
About: I have always taken care of my family and friends animals while they were away. I have also always grown up with animals in my house. I like teaching dogs new tricks if I’m allowed and playing with them. Due to my job I don’t work during the summer which clears out my schedule and gives a lot of free time during the day and night. I like to spoil my animals in the ways I know they like to be. I have three dogs and two cats and they all have different personalities. I love showing them affectionate all the time.I like to give them the best of everything, some people say I do to much such as buying expensive food or safe toys but I see animals as my children or friends.
About: 30 + years experience with dogs. I've owned or cared for other people's dogs since childhood. I have a large fenced in backyard for your pup to play! I love dogs and want to spoil and snuggle yours because I currently do not have a dog. I work part-time/variable schedule and my roommate works full-time from home so there is almost always someone home. I have a very flexible schedule so I am available most days of the week consistently for caring for your pet. I have a large fenced in back yard for your pup to play. My neighborhood also has a dog park area if you are comfortable with your dog in that setting. There are two chill, snuggly cats in my home.
“Second time having Megan watch my cats while I was gone and I will use her again and again! Always sends me pictures of my boys, is there on time, and even does little things like feeding my fish or putting my package inside. I appreciate her so much!!”
About: Pet care experience examples include daily care such as feeding, and walking. Also, I provide Transportation of pets to and from vet appointments or the owner's home Daily care and maintenance : •Feeding and providing fresh water according to specific owner instructions •Walking, exercising, and playing with pets •Cleaning pet living areas, cages, and litter boxes •Grooming tasks like brushing, and bathing. I'm currently retired and available to take care of your fur baby. My hours can be negotiable. Staying active,engaged and positive is my primary goal. Animals are therapeutic and I enjoy working with them! I go according to the schedule, structure, and environment of the pets home.It's important to maintain a sanitary environment,not only for the pet but for my health.
About: I am almost done with my CVA, which has given me hands-on experience with animal care and a strong understanding of animal behavior, basic health needs, and how to recognize when a pet may be stressed, uncomfortable, or need extra attention. I’m very attentive to routines like feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific care instructions you have for your pet. I also volunteered at a horse rescue for 6 years, which has helped me become even more patient and comfortable working with animals that all have different personalities and needs. Whether your pet is a playful puppy who needs consistency and extra energy or an older pet who needs a gentler approach, I’m confident in providing calm, dependable care and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I currently attend CVA school Monday through Thursday from 6-10 PM, and because it’s a veterinary program, I’m able to bring new animals with me every day if that’s something an owner is comfortable with. This allows me to spend even more time with your pet and keep them with me throughout the day. Outside of school, I’m available the rest of the day and can realistically spend most, if not all, of my time with your pet. I also care for my own animals every day, including my dogs, cat, and reptiles—a snake, bearded dragon, turtle, and leopard gecko—so feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, cleaning cages, and keeping their spaces clean are all part of my normal routine. My entire day is basically centered around animals between school and caring for my own pets, so pet sitting fits very naturally into my life. I care for pets with a lot of attention, and fun! I usually feed my pets at the same time every day and follow a schedule, but I keep it flexible so it works for each pet’s needs. I give dry food and simple medications like NexGard but, I also have experience handling special diets and other medications. Playtime happens whenever pets seem bored or want to go outside. I have lots of toys, treats, and fun activities inside, and I enjoy running with dogs outside or taking them on car rides. I also do some basic training for fun, though I’m not a professional trainer. I keep spaces clean and comfortable, cages and tanks are cleaned regularly, puppy pads are replaced, and everything is wiped down with disinfectant as needed. Pets have their own quiet areas, toys, and treats to feel calm and safe. I’m very observant of their behavior, so I can notice when something feels off. Pets aren’t left alone for long, except when I’m at school for a few hours. I’m used to managing multiple pets at once by keeping a close eye on everyone and giving each animal their own space when needed. My home is very clean, and I constantly sweep, mop, and vacuum. Overall, I make sure pets are happy, safe, and comfortable, and I treat them as part of my family giving lots of love, attention, and care every day.

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.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Bartow
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
