About: In regards to my experience with personal pet care. From a young age, I have raised and help nurture animals in all stages of their life. Along with dogs I have provided care for other animals such as: Cats, Fish, and Horses of various shapes and sizes. LGBTQIA friendly 💖🏳️🌈 I am currently a Freelance Character Designer and Illustrator, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Let me know what's up and I'll probably be down. I care for your pets as if they were my own. Your pets wellbeing and comfort is a top priority! Also I maintain and keep schedules and plans in place for your pet; along with monitoring health, behavior and notifying pet parents of any change that arises while in my care. I want to be 100% transparent with everything that goes on in your absence to keep you at a peace of mind.
“Brandi and Cayden have been doing drop-in visits with our dog Opal for a week now. Opal is receiving all of the care, loving, and attention she could need. Brandi and Cayden are communicative, prompt, and very easy to work with.”
“Tracy is top-notch. She has helped me out a number of times, is very reliable and Ginger loves her. As a cat Dad I am grateful and feel assured when I have to go out of town. Highly recommended and appreciated.”
“Stephany was so lovely to work with and got along great with Mishu. My cat came home well-groomed and calm as if she had had a wonderful time. I definitely recommend Stephany to care for any of your fur babies and would love to work with her again in the future.”

About: I have had dogs all my life and currently have 2 dogs. My dogs are my babies and I will treat yours just like my own. I have crate trained young dogs to caring for senior pups as well. I am reliable and trust worthy. I work remotely and can stop in or walk morning and afternoon during the week and anytime on Saturday or Sunday as needed for your pet. I have dogs of my own and need to come to your home to take care of your pets. My older dog is hit or miss getting along with other dogs so I will not be able to have your pets at my house.
“Kailea took excellent care of our three doggos! We were visiting Sarasota, but will definitely contact her again if we need pet care on future visits. Thanks, Kailea!”
“Our Coco thoroughly enjoyed her vacation with Stephanie, and we will definitely be using her again in the future. Her home was lovely and perfect for our cat. Stephanie kept us updated daily on Coco and how she was adjusting and also sent daily pictures. We felt very confident in leaving our "baby" with Stephanie. Coco requires extra feedings and medications and Stephanie was happy to accommodate us with those extra needs. If you're looking for someone dependable and caring Stephanie is your person!”
“Nicholas took care of my fur baby while I was out of town for a week. He gave me daily updates, and was very communicative. Nicholas is a true professional when it comes to pet care!”
About: I've owned a variety of dogs of every breed and size, (Gr8Danes, pekingese, doodles, terriers, the list goes on) all from a very young age. I've had puppies, to special needs seniors... All of whom have different skills sets required for their care. Im currently a stay at home Mom. One of my children is a 2 time cancer survivor and requires a flexible schedule due to her weakened immunity. My schedule is pretty packed as a busy mom before and after school... but my availability during the day and on weekends is usually fairly open for visits, walks, cuddles or any type of care. I'm more than able to follow any schedules you may want to follow. Including eating/medication times as I know and respect how sensitive some animals are.
About: Aside from being a lifelong pet owner myself, I have over 20 years of experience caring for all pets. I’ve always had a natural love for animals and treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I also have experience caring for brachycephalic (flat-faced) dogs and understand the extra care and attention they may require. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! 🫶🏼 I’m a stay-at-home mom, and with my children now in school, I have a flexible daytime schedule that allows me to dedicate time to caring for pets. I’m available during the day for walks and drop-in visits, which makes me a great fit for pets who need some extra attention, exercise, or a potty break while their owners are at work. I’m happy to provide consistent, dependable care and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages during visits. I currently offer pet care exclusively in the client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely and make sure their pets receive the care, attention, exercise, and affection they need while they’re away. I’m happy to handle walks, potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of attention and cuddles depending on each pet’s routine and personality.
About: Growing up, I always had pets: dogs, cats, hamsters, mice, fish, guinea pigs, and birds. I loved animals, and I still do. My home is very clean, not just for myself but for them as well. Pets have always been a soft spot for me, and I make time for them every day. I can’t remember a time without furry friends in my home! I’m observant and attentive to every pet’s personality. I make sure they feel comfortable in their favorite spots, whether it’s their bed or a special corner in your home. I follow all instructions carefully from meals and treats to medications and routines to give your pet the care they deserve.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Bee Ridge
We had a wonderful experience with Sabrina during her drop-in visits with Luna. Luna is an 8-year-old Siamese with a strong personality — a "cool customer" who shows affection on her own terms and doesn't warm up to just anyone. Sabrina read her perfectly: she gave Luna the playtime and attention she needs without pushing, and let her set the pace. She was reliable, communicative, and sent updates that showed she genuinely paid attention to Luna's quirks. If you have a pet with opinions and want someone patient and truly caring, Sabrina is your person. We'd have her back in a heartbeat.
Sierra did a phenomenal job taking care of our cat. We booked Sierra last minute because my other sitter couldn’t do it and she replied almost immediately. Her darling daughter also helped with petting and caring for our cat. 2 for 1 service! Would definitely use her again.
Hailey was amazing taking care of my two kitties. One of them takes medication and she did everything asked. Chaz is very weary with other people. It took a couple times and Chaz was happy to see her. She was also quick of responding to me when I wanted her to add some medication to my other cat. I’m new to this and glad I decided to go with her. I will use her in the future. She was so very nice, thank you Hailey!
Meara was absolutely amazing! I have a lot of cats that are high maintenance and she took great care of them. She sent lots of photos and the cats always looked happy in them. We even have 1 cat that needs medicinal cream rubbed on her ear every night and Meara didn't miss a day. I would absolutely 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.

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 .
