“Shelby took wonderful care of our two cats. With the daily updates, I felt confident they were getting the attention they needed (and deserved). We liked Shelby's work so much we have her booked for our next vacation already.”
“Alissa is fantastic! She made sure my cats were well looked after while I was away, and provided updates and photos to keep me on the loop. She even went above and beyond to find some cat toys that had disappeared under the radiator! Very appreciative of Alissa and will definitely book with her again.”
“Nicole was an excellent pet sitter and took great care of my cat. She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me real peace of mind. My cat was happy and well cared for when I returned. I would definitely recommend Nicole and would happily book her again.”
“Excellent Sitter. She did a great job with my geriatric trash cat. (Love him but he's a pita.) Reliable, dependable and friendly, Trudie is someone I'd happily rely on again. Thanks Trudie!”

“Erin was incredible. She sent lots of great photos that made us laugh and show that our cat was being cated for, even if he hates having outfits put on LOL. She also helped hide everything in the house that could become a risk of our cat getting into as he began acting out. It was our first time user Rover and we are very glad we found Erin and will always use her when we travel if she is available!”

About: Depuis toute petite, je me suis occupé de mon chat et des animaux de mes parents. En étant plus vieille, j'ai eu l'occasion de m'occuper des chiens de ma sœur. J'ai la passion des animaux dans le sang. J'aimerais faire se travail à temps pleins. Lorsque j'aurai réunis assez d'argents, j'aimerais ouvrir mon propre studio de photographie animalière et faire du pet sitting en plus de cela. Ce serait mon plus grand rêve. Vous pouvez avoir une totale confiance envers moi. Je suis là pour vos chers animaux et pour eux seulement. J'ai toujours eu une connexion profonde envers les animaux, comme si j'étais destinés à les côtoyer. Je veux ce qu'il y a de mieux pour toutes les créatures de la planète. Si je pouvais adopter tout les animaux qui existe, je le ferais sans hésiter.
“We are beyond grateful to Katherine for the exceptional care she gave our cat while we were away. Her communication was incredible. We received frequent, thoughtful updates that helped ease our minds during a very stressful time. Katherine noticed our cat wasn’t having bowel movements and immediately took action. She brought her to the vet not once, but twice, and stayed with her through the day to make sure she was comfortable and monitored. Her attentiveness, compassion, and dedication went far above and beyond what we ever expected from a pet sitter. Thanks to Katherine, we had peace of mind knowing our cat was in loving and capable hands. We truly can’t recommend and thank her enough!”
About: I bring over three years of hands-on experience working at an animal hospital, combined with volunteer work at therapeutic riding programs and other animal care organizations. This background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and compassionate handling. Whether it’s energetic walks or calm, cozy sitting sessions, I’m dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer up to two walks per day on weekdays—one in the morning before work and one in the evening after work—to keep your pup happy and active. On Saturdays, I’m available for one or two walks depending on my schedule, and on Sundays, I have full availability to provide multiple walks and extra attention. I’m committed to fitting quality exercise and care into your pet’s day, even with my busy schedule, so they feel loved and energized while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or cuddles, I follow your specific instructions closely. I ensure a safe environment, lots of attention, and companionship so your pet feels loved and secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide care that feels just like you never left. With sitting, we can discuss availability and flexibility to accommodate for your pet and family needs.
“Lidiya was amazing! She took such great care of Aspen. I was very anxious leaving her as this was the first time i’ve ever been away from her, but Lidiya sent me so many photos and notes about her! She even went above and beyond and unloaded some groceries that got delivered while i was away. Will definitely book her again in the future.”
About: I lived on and work on a farm for over 25yrs. I've looked after everything from fish, cats, dogs, to poultry and fowl to horses and cattle. I'm active, enjoy spending time outside and love walking. I grew up with Irish Wolfhounds and miss having a dog to walk with. I'm working a weekday job as a plumbing apprentice. Generally from 8-4 but some days are shorter or if times are slow I have days off. In my clients home I like to have a written outline of what your pets routine and needs are. I will make sure your pets needs for company, mental stimulation, food, water, exercise, outdoor time and medicine (if required) are met.

About: I was a vet assistant as young adult. I was involved in the care of the animals in both routine situations and in more critical medical situations. Dogs are an important part of my life. I also have an affinity for cats and any domestic animals. I believe they enrich our lives as humans and are entitled to our care and respect. Recently retired so am available for my pet friends throughout the day and evening. I prefer 48 hour notice but will do my best to accommodate shorter notice requests. I adhere to the owners household and behavioural rules for the pet while in my care. I adapt to the needs and temperament of the pet by providing as much or as little in the way of cuddles and affection as your pet needs. I would be thrilled to meet and care for your pet!
About: I specialize in caring for high-energy dogs who need more than just a walk. As the owner of a young, energetic American Labrador, Reni, I understand how important exercise, patience, enrichment, and mental stimulation are for dogs with lots of energy. Reni has taught me how to channel that energy in positive ways through training, enrichment activities, scent work, and engaging play. I’ve loved dogs my entire life and grew up with family dogs and other animals. I also have experience caring for neighbours’ pets and have developed hands-on experience with positive reinforcement and managing some dog reactivity through my own dog. I’m patient, reliable, and passionate about helping high-energy dogs feel happy, fulfilled, and well cared for. I work an 8am-4pm schedule from home, allowing for some flexibility during the day and I can largely accomodate walks before and after work and on weekends. I strive to make your time away as stress free as possible for your pet. By following their regular routine and giving them plenty of attention, affection and excercise.
About: Animals have my heart more than anything else:) I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was little and make sure they all get love. I have had a cat for 8 years now and a puppy who is almost a year old. Training a puppy was a bit challenging at first, but it sure has taught me how to take better care of dogs. Some of the cats I've pet-sat for have been antisocial, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve love; they just need a different approach. I am currently taking a gap year so i'm mostly free during the day, though I do need to take care of my cat and dog:) When I have pet-sat at clients' houses before, I ask if I can come a couple days before I'm scheduled. That way I can meet the pets, and the client can go over what they would like me to do. For instance, when I have someone watch my pets, I have a list of everything that needs to be done, such as litter box or feeding.

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.
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.
