About: Hi there! 🐾 I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, reptiles, birds, and more! I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I work with animals of different personalities, temperaments, and care needs. My Rover journey began after losing one of my beloved cats, turning my love for animals into a meaningful way to help others. I understand that pets are family, and I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive, and personalized care while making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved like one of my own! ❤️ I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and lots of attention. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends and holidays, and love having furry company while I work! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I try to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions while providing plenty of playtime, attention, cuddles, and outdoor time based on their individual needs. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and a large yard for supervised outdoor time. My goal is always to make your fur baby feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“Kyra was great! She was prompt, reliable, and took great care of my two dogs during their drop-in visit while I was working. I really appreciated knowing they were in good hands. Would definitely recommend her!”

About: I am a veterinary technician with 9 years experience in the field. I am confident in my skills with animals of all breeds and sizes I have plenty of time to spend with your 4 legged friends when you are not available to be there for them. Making them feel loved in the way you would I spend as much time as needed with your pet and in case of an emergency I have access to medical help for your pets immediately

About: As a dedicated dog lover and experienced pet owner who has raised two dogs, I treat every furry friend with the same level of care, respect, and unconditional love as my own. Having hands-on, long-term experience with dogs, I am deeply familiar with their daily routines, unique personalities, body language, and individual exercise needs. Whether your dog needs a high-energy workout, a peaceful walk, regular feeding, or gentle companionship, I ensure a safe, structured, and fun experience every single time. I am highly punctual, attentive to safety and cleanliness, and will keep you updated with photos and notes so you always have peace of mind while away. I look forward to meeting your beloved pet! I am currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to your pets! I am available for walking or visits on Monday thru Thursday 6am to 6pm. I always make sure pets get individual attention, regular walks, and plenty of fun playtime. Safety, attentiveness, and your peace of mind are my top priorities. During my walks and home visits, I keep pets on a secure leash, follow your exact feeding and care routines, and provide plenty of play, love, and attention. I am experienced in handling dogs safely in public and will ensure your pup stays calm, safe, and well-cared for every step of the way!
About: I have had dogs since I was born. My current dog, Ollie, is 1 year old. One of my previous dogs, who has since passed, had diabetes and required insulin shots and went blind but I took care of her for years after her diagnosis before she passed from natural causes. I love dogs, they make the world a brighter place! I work 3 days a week (or nights) so I have four days off a week. It can change depending on my schedule or I can request certain days off to fit someone else’s schedule with enough notice. I live in a house with several parks in the immediate area to keep your dog occupied! I have a lot of patience when taking care of dogs/puppies.
“Home for three weeks and Theo did a great job taking care of our 3 cats. Went above expectations and helped move a heavy package into the house and let us know when our plow service came or not which was very helpful to us!”

“Second time I'm booking Catherine, this time for a relatively long period and I have zero regrets! She is super kind and loving to both of my cats, communicative and takes really good pictures! 😸 My kitties were well and happy when I got back and that's the most important thing. Would definitely book Cat again!”

About: I’m a professional dog trainer with 6+ years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. In addition, I have 10+ years of professional pet care experience. I provide reliable, personalized pet care and am comfortable with everything from walks, overnights, and crate care to caring for multiple dogs and dogs with specific needs. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual routine and personality, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I own an operate my own pet care business so my schedule is very flexible. Monday through Friday I typically have my normal group of dogs out between 10am-2pm so aside for that my schedule is open the rest of the week and on the weekends. I care for every animal as if they are my own- on top of following the owners exact routine, I try to add in anything additional the dog would enjoy like hikes in the woods or indoor enrichment time.

“Leslie was the best communicator and cat sitter during my time away from Louie. She kept me posted on his activities. I was excited to see daily pics of him. She earned my trust and I will go with her again and again and again. Thanks! Renee & Louie”

“We've used Sarah multiple times for drop in visits for our 2 frenchies. She came recommended by a friend so we scheduled a meet and greet. It was instantly apparent that she loves dogs and was really knowledgeable on the french bulldog breed. Our dogs gave her their seal of approval with multiple kisses at the first meeting. Sarah is reliable and professional. She would message us letting us know how the pups were doing and always sent adorable photos. We will continually use Sarah and highly recommend her anyone who wants to be confident that their pets are being taken care with love.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young, but never got the opportunity to own one myself. I do have experience with dogs, including aggressive ones, anxious ones, seniors, and puppies. I’ve been trained on animal behavior and know how to correct inappropriate behavior. I worked full time at a pet board and daycare so I promise I understand dogs! I’m currently out of work due to some personal matters, but I am more than physically fit to take care of animals. I am pregnant and due in January, but that doesn’t stop me from being active! I currently do not offer pet care in my own home, but I do offer in-home pet care. Depending on your pet’s personality and their personal requirements I can pill pop medication, but I don’t do injectables. I can also bathe them if that is something you’re interested in. I do ask that if you have a reactive dog that you provide your own materials, whether it be a certain leash, collar, and/or muzzle while on a walk or during baths. Anything to make your pet more comfortable while in my care.
About: My experience with animals is 10+ years. I currently have six reptiles including a snake and I have a black lab named Raven and some bettas, too. Other experience includes veterinary internships with hands-on experience, I worked at a farm, I worked at a doggy daycare, and I have passed vet technology courses online. My business is called Mac’s Petcare through which I walk dogs and take care of pets. I really enjoy my career and I would love to work with cats too! I currently only work with dogs but am definitely open to caring for cats. I can do weekdays from around 2-5PM!! I also accept other requests. I walk dogs from 10 AM-2 PM currently, and I love it very much❤️ I try to make sure they feel safe at all times and I make sure they have a good time as well👍😊💜 I absolutely love working with the animals!!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Chelmsford
This was our 2nd booking with Eric. He arrived as discussed, checked the cats’ food, water, and scooped the litter boxes. Eric is respectful of the cats’ space and he doesn’t insist on forcing interaction with the animals unless the initiative comes from them. Eric has much experience working with cats, which was important for me, as a new cat-mom.

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 .
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.

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 .

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
