“My husband and I went away for two weeks, and we rebooked with Becca because she always goes above and beyond! She checked in on our two cats daily, and made sure they got plenty of love, food and play time! She also cleaned and filled the water bowls and the litter box daily which was great! We know that with Becca our cats will always be well taken care of while we are away, and we will definitely be booking with her again for future trips☺️”

About: What sets me apart is the individualized, stress-free environment I provide. Since I don’t have pets or children of my own, your dog will enjoy my 100% undivided attention in a clean, quiet, and smoke-free home. Growing up with family pets and helping on my grandfather’s farm gave me a natural, calm, and patient approach to animal care. I am highly organized and communicative, so you will always receive regular photo updates and total peace of mind while you are away. I am also comfortable with puppy care and senior care, as well as administering oral medications. Whether your pet needs the extra patience and frequent breaks of a puppy or the quiet, gentle routine of a senior, I am committed to ensuring their schedule and care stay exactly as it is at home. As a freelance professional working from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to make pet care my top priority throughout the day. Your dog will never be left alone for long periods; instead, they will enjoy constant companionship and a consistent routine. Safety and trust are my top priorities. My home is a very clean, organized, and peaceful environment, which I believe is essential for a pet to feel secure. I live in a pet-free and smoke-free household with my husband, meaning there are no other animals or children to cause stress or unpredictable situations. Since I work from home, I provide constant supervision. Your pet will never be left unattended in open areas. Although I have an open shared space outdoors, I strictly follow a 'leash-only' policy for outside time to ensure your pet is always safe and by my side. We are also lucky to live very close to a local park, where I take pets for secure, on-leash walks to get fresh air and exercise. I understand how important it is to know your pet is doing well. I commit to sending daily photo and video updates so you can see how happy and relaxed they are. My home is a 'home away from home' where I follow your specific instructions—from feeding schedules to medical needs—to the letter. I treat every guest as if they were my own family pet.

Flexible Pet Care Schedule Aligned with Your Pet's Needs As a full-time remote worker with a flexible schedule, I’m able to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I work from home Monday to Friday and occasionally take on part-time shifts during evenings and weekends. This means your pet will almost always have someone home with them, ensuring consistent companionship and supervision. I'm available seven days a week and happy to accommodate your specific scheduling needs. While there may be occasional times I need to step out for work or travel throughout the year, your pet’s safety remains my top priority. If your pet is crate-trained or feels more comfortable in a crate when left briefly alone, I’ll ensure they’re settled safely and securely. I build regular walks, playtime, and outdoor breaks into my day to keep your pet active, stimulated, and cared for. And when I’m not home, my partner is—so your pet will never be left completely alone. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and well-being come first in our home, no matter how full the schedule may be. Nurturing Environment Tailored to Your Pet's Comfort and Safety Whether in my cozy home or yours, I ensure your pet's safety, trust, and comfort remain at the forefront of my care approach. In My Home: With a safe and secure neighborhood, your dog will enjoy strolls in the unfenced front and back yard, always under my close supervision on a leash. My spacious home allows ample room for your pet to roam and play, offering them the opportunity to indulge in their love for running from one end to the other. If your pet requires crate time, there's sufficient space to accommodate their needs. In Your Home: I bring the same level of attentiveness and care to your pet in the comfort of their familiar surroundings. Ensuring their safety and well-being, I follow any specific instructions you provide diligently. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply spending quality time, your pet will receive the same affection and care they would get in my own home. For Cats: Your feline companions will find delight in the unique, 8-ft-tall and 12-ft-wide cat tree in my home, boasting 16 spaces for exploration and napping. They'll have the perfect haven to play, lounge, and enjoy a stimulating environment. My priority is to create a nurturing and secure atmosphere, ensuring that your pets feel right at home, whether they are in my care or yours.
About: Extremely experienced and have been taking care of animals for over 15 years! I treat each pet like a family member with unconditional love <3 I am currently at home full time, so I will have unlimited time to spend with each and every fur baby! My schedule is very open; available for boarding almost 7 days a week! Caring for animals isn't just a job to me; it is natural and part of my every day life! Great size family home with lots of room and comfy furniture for them to feel right at home. I have a fully fenced in back yard, offering lots of play time outside.

About: Hi! I’m Holly, a lifelong dog lover who works from home, so your pup will get plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I have a 15 year old small fluffy white dog with medical needs, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog’s care. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, or prefers a slower pace and lots of cuddles, I’m happy to tailor their routine to what they’re used to. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, medication (including eye drops), special feeding routines, and dogs with separation anxiety who need a little extra patience or reassurance. I know every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their personality and routines so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work from home, so I am available to take your dog on walks, playtime, and potty breaks as needed. There is a dog bed in my office for your pup to hang out with me! I am attentive to all specific instructions. If your pet has specific needs like personality quirks, separation anxiety, medication schedules, or is very routine-driven, just let me know and I’m happy to adapt. All dogs are different, so let me know how I can best replicate your typical schedule to provide some stability and comfort for your pet!

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
