About: I have administered medication both orally and nasally to both cats and dogs in my time as a pet owner taking care of middle-aged and older furry family members. I work full-time with stable income, in hybrid status. I am in-office Monday through Thursday currently from 7:30am to 3:30pm. I work remotely on Fridays. I like to spend my time with animals as I grew up in New York City and South Florida with 3 dogs and 1 cat.

“AWESOME!! Quinn was awesome and I highly recommend her. I would definitely hire her again to watch Felix. Not only was she efficient, followed instructions, she also asked questions for clarity which I highly value. When I asked her to move a box so I could also check on Felix she was so GRACEFUL, and kind. Just a very sweet sweet, humble, caring person. I came home to happy, healthy, well cared for pet. When it came to peace of mind about the care and happiness of my pet, I feel she did and excellent job.”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked in professional pet care, taken courses in animal first aid/CPR and positive-reinforcement/Karen Pryor clicker training, worked alongside livestock veterinarians, and even had experience around Security/IED K9s. I especially enjoy learning how each dog communicates. Some dogs want to cover some ground, some want to stop and sniff everything, and some need a little patience and encouragement before they’re comfortable. I adjust the walk to the dog in front of me. My love for dogs started young. When I was 8, my neighbor passed away and left me Sawbuck, his Shepherd/Lab mix. He showed me how strong the bond between a person and a dog can be, and I’ve been learning everything I can about them ever since. I love getting dogs out of the house and moving. Whether your dog needs a good exercise walk, a slower sniff-filled adventure, or simply a dependable midday potty break, I’ll tailor our time together to what works best for them. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities, including high-energy dogs, seniors and dogs that need a little extra patience. My goal is to provide a positive, safe and enjoyable experience for both you and your pet. I’m a Marine, so following detailed instructions comes naturally to me. Give me as much information about your dog as you’d like — I genuinely enjoy learning their routines, personalities and quirks. After every service, I’ll provide an update on how things went along with photos and anything I noticed during our time together. My goal is to provide a positive, loving and safe experience for your pet and you. I’m a Marine so following orders/directions exactly as you give them is in my blood. I love information so feel free to write/leave as much as makes you comfortable. I will send after service reports where I provide feedback/requested information and brief of the care service.

I did not worry about them for a minute while we were gone, which was a real bonus. And I loved all the pictures and video. Thank you, Tori, for taking such good care.”

Erin was wonderful with my cat! She was attentive, followed all care instructions, and clearly has a great understanding of cat behavior. As any cat parent knows, not all sitters understand the importance of letting cats approach on their own terms, but Erin absolutely does. My cat warmed up to her very quickly, which says a lot! I highly recommend Erin and would happily book with her again.

Elise was amazing with Iris and went above and beyond what I asked. She sent plenty of pictures, spent real time with her, and made sure everything was taken care of. Iris usually hides when new people come over, so seeing her comfortable and gravitating toward Elise really stood out to me. I’d absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again.

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 .

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 .

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.
