“Sheila was fantastic watching my two cats during a week vacation. She responded promptly to my last-minute request and she took amazing care of them. She provided detailed updates and photos for each visit. I could vacation in peace knowing all was well back home. Couldnt have asked for a better sitter!”
About: I have a background as a veterinary assistant with hands-on experience caring for animals in a clinical setting, including monitoring health, feeding, cleaning, and administering medications. I’ve also grown up in a home with 3+ pets at all times, so I’m very comfortable with busy, multi-pet households. I’m confident with pets of all temperaments and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. My background helps me notice small changes in behavior or health, ensuring your pet is always safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently in my exam season for university so my schedule is a little all over the place. As of right now I’m free throughout the week depending on what days I have an exam. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In a client’s home, I follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while maintaining a clean and safe environment. With my veterinary assistant experience, I’m confident monitoring health, recognizing any changes in behavior, and administering medications if needed. Whether it’s energetic playtime or calm companionship, I adapt my care to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Jocelyn was amazing! This was our first time using Rover (or any pet sitting service), and she made the whole experience easy and stress-free. She was caring, kind, and communicative every step of the way. We loved receiving the photos, videos and updates each visit. Overall, she truly made us feel at ease leaving our kitty in her care. We look forward to having her back again!”
“Lisette has looked after my cats Grace and Sparky many times over the past 3-4 years. She is kind, reliable, and loves and cares for my cats like their her own. In short, she is the best.”
“Yvonne was amazing with our two cats while we were away for three weeks in Japan! One of our cats needs daily pills, and she handled it so calmly and professionally. You can tell she has great behavioral training and really understands cats. When they both had upset tummies, she cleaned everything up and helped them get back to normal quickly. She also spent extra time with them when they wanted cuddles, which meant a lot to us. We came home to two happy, healthy cats, and we’re so thankful for the care and attention Yvonne gave them. Highly recommend!”
“Kirstyn was great and made sure our cats were fed and got their medication. She scooped the litter and even cleaned out their food bowls. The photos and updates are always appreciated. Will continue using her as she is very reliable.”
About: For 13 years, my dog Lyric was a cherished part of my family, and caring for him taught me patience, responsibility, and unconditional love. I also care for my cat, Lily, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I provide gentle, attentive care and treat every animal like family. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I work two jobs, one of which is as a supply teacher during the school day, which means I have my evenings and weekends fully available. This allows me to provide reliable, attentive care with plenty of time for walks, check-ins, play, and companionship, while maintaining a consistent and dependable routine for your pet. I provide care for pets in their own home, as well as during walks and drop-in visits. I understand that pets are most comfortable in familiar environments, so I focus on maintaining their usual routines, feeding schedules, and walking habits. During check-ins and walks, I give each pet my full attention, ensuring they feel safe, exercised, and cared for. I treat every home and pet with respect, reliability, and genuine care, so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away.
“Julia did an amazing job looking after our three cats. One of them is very shy and finicky but Julia knew how to handle that. She knows what to be observant of besides food and water and the initiative to take. Highly recommend Julia.”
“Riley has been an amazing help with my small families life changes. She's flexible, punctual, and great at assisting using this app for us less tech savvy. Clearly has a big heart for the furry ones. Provides lots of details with pics every visit. I would recommend to anyone!”
About: Hi hi! I’m Kaitlyn (but you can call me Kate!) 😊 Reliable, routine focused care with lots of updates (and cute photos, of course). I’m a lifelong dog lover and have a 10 year old puggle named Jude (named after Hey Jude!), so I really understand how important it is to trust the person coming into your home and caring for your pet. I mainly focus on dog walking and drop-in visits, especially for busy schedules where you just need someone reliable to show up and take care of things. Whether it’s a morning walk, a quick check in, or just giving your dog some attention, company, and playtime, I’m happy to adjust to what they need. I’ve spent years around dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always aim to keep things calm, consistent, and stress free for them. I’m very dependable, so you can count on me to be on time and take great care of your pet every visit. I love a good photo op, so I’ll always keep you in the loop with updates and photos so you don’t have to wonder how things are going! A bit about me & my availability: • Monday–Friday mornings (early morning–1pm) • Weekends by request • Non-smoker • Comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and basic medication I’d love to meet you and your pet(s) and see if it’s a good fit 🤍 I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll always take care of them like they’re my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I work afternoons, so I’m available weekday mornings (early morning-1pm), which allows me to consistently offer walks and drop-in visits while people are at work. I start my day walking my own dog, so adding in walks and check-ins for your pet fits naturally into my schedule. I’m also available on weekends by request. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, water, walks, and any specific needs your pet may have. I take a calm, attentive approach and always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and secure before I leave. I’m also mindful of your home... making sure doors are locked, things are left as I found them, and everything is in order. You can expect clear communication, updates, and photos after each visit so you always know how things are going. I treat every pet and home with the same care I would my own.
“Our kitties love Nikolai! He is a total animal lover and I felt so good knowing he would be checking on our cats daily. Our shyest cat would walk right up to him. We received a detailed report for each visit and he was very accommodating to our needs.”
“This was my first experience using Rover and Danielle made it the best possible ! She is an incredibly sweet and kind animal lover who made sure Emmie & Greycy had lots of attention during her visits. I really loved that she sent me a short message and picture while I was away to let me know everything was ok. She is 100% reliable and dependable. I won't hesitate to ask her to look after my girls again and know that I can go away without stressing about their care.”
About: I have open availability to visit your pet while you are away for the weekend or perhaps just at work. I have owned many pets throughout my life, including 5 dogs 🐶, a cat 🐈⬛, a bearded dragon 🦎 and even a tortoise 🐢!

I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I’m also comfortable administering medication and ensuring pets stay happy and healthy.

Holly was great with my two cats during her drop-in visits! They’re usually pretty shy around new people, but they came out to greet her quickly. She was communicative and kept me updated, and I was confident they were being well taken care of. I came home to peaceful happy cats after my time away. I’d definitely book with her again!
Marisa was absolutely wonderful with our two fur babies while we were away on vacation. Thanks to her, we were completely tension free the entire time. She is incredibly kind, caring , and truly amazing with pets. Marisa has a warm, and attentive attitude, and communication with her was always easy and reassuring. We felt confident leaving our pets in her loving hands. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

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.

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.
