“Heather took excellent care of our cat. She dropped in daily and sent us photos and an update on how he was doing. She made connecting with her before and after our trip super easy. Will definitely be reaching out to her for any future needs.”
“This was my very time to use any kind of service like this and Arely made it so smooth! Such wonderfully attentive and kind care she gave my boy. Very communicative and perfectly pleasant! I look forward to having her care for my boy again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She was reliable, took our dog out exactly when requested, and kept us updated throughout the visit. We especially appreciated the photos she sent, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Kira did an excellent job caring for my kitties! The fact that she was able to send me pics of them was amazing, they are usually very camera (and people) shy! I’ll definitely book with her again 😻”
“This was my first time using Rover.com. I chose Katie based on her reviews. I will tell you that I was extremely surprised at the amount of time and patience she took, caring for my Aspen. I could not have picked a better person to care for him. I will definitely use her again. Thank you so much, Katie.”
“This is Tania’s third time watching our dogs. She has dog sat for my Great Danes twice before, which is amazing in itself, but this time I added my two small dogs and she did great. Tania is super kind and follows direction so well. I will absolutely continue using Tania as my dog sitter! She’s the best.”
About: I typically help neighbors & family with their pets when they’ve gone out of town many times. Walking, feeding, medicine, baths, etc. My parents recently got puppies that I helped raise from a month old! 💙 I work from home as a video marketer & work part time door dashing, which allows my schedule to be insanely flexible to help out with play time, walks, & drop by visits. 😎 I often help my elderly people bring their groceries all the way to the kitchen. I make sure to greet the animals, let them build confidence & trust, before entering the homes. My intention is to leave a safe impact on the house.
“Austin was amazing with our three cats! Including one of our older cats that’s special needs & requires medicine. He was detailed with his updates, made sure to spend plenty of time at the house, and left the area in the same condition for when we came home. We knew we could enjoy our time away because our animals were being taken care of so well. Thank you again!”
About: I am the owner of a two-year-old Lab mix and an eight-year-old German Shepherd, and I possess over five years of experience working at a veterinary clinic. My passion for German Shepherds is well-established, and I find immense satisfaction in providing care for animals and their owners. I look forward to meeting your pets ☺️☺️🥰 My regular working hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5p.m. However, I am available to work outside these hours, including weekends and holidays. My expertise extends to canine care across a diverse range of ages and temperaments, encompassing both fearful and aggressive animals. I am also proficient in feline care and medication administration.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and treat every pet like family! Whether cuddles or playtime, I’m here to give them the care they deserve! I have very flexible hours! I work 8:30-2:30 so have a lot of time from before & after those hours! :) I am open to the early mornings! I follow each pet’s routine closely, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I will always give lots of love, & make time for playtime!
About: I treat every dog like they're my own; patient, attentive, and genuinely happy to spend time with them. I'm reliable and communicative, so you'll always know how your pup is doing while you're away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels, and I take the time to learn each dog's individual routine and quirks rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Weekends are when I'm fully available and focused on pet care; no rushing between other commitments. That means consistent walk times, unhurried playtime, and someone who's actually present rather than checking the clock. If you need reliable dog walks or drop-in visits, that's exactly the window I keep open." For drop-in visits, I follow your dog's normal routine as closely as possible which includes feeding times, potty breaks, and any specific instructions you leave, so there's minimal disruption while you're away. I always do a quick check of food/water and make sure the home is secure before I leave. For walks, I go at your dog's pace rather than rushing, and I'm attentive to their comfort, always checking for signs of overheating, giving water breaks, and using leash/collar setups you're comfortable with. I keep you updated with the Rover app so you know how each visit went

About: I’m a pet mama to an active Border Collie, and a super chill cat, so I know exactly how to cater to different personalities. Regardless of whether your pet needs a good workout session, or quiet cuddles, I’ve got you covered! Growing up around animals naturally led to years of caring for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I'm completely comfortable with specialized care, from strict routines to administering medications if your pet isn't feeling their best. Leaving your fur babies with someone new can be stressful, I know. It’s very important to me that they feel safe, loved, and at ease.

Reach out and connect with me, I’m always glad to help out. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel secure in their space. When I visit, I keep things calm and respectful, never rushing or overwhelming your pet. I follow instructions carefully, use positive reinforcement, and ensure your pet is comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

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.

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 Meet & Greet .
