“Breezey did an amazing job watching my two cats while I was out of town for ten days. She was communicative and gave great updates. I was a little anxious after experiences I had with pet sitters in the past, but I had absolutely no worries or issues this. ☺️”
“My fiance and I were out of town for 2 weeks abroad and Trace went above and beyond for our cat babies. He gave us detailed updates after every visit. We truly couldn't have asked for a better sitter! We will definitely be using Trace again!!”

“Ally is so fantastic! She is very reliable, and takes really cute photos - I can tell that Max has a great time on their walks. I also really appreciate that she asks specific questions like whether or not he has any allergies. It really shows both her knowledge and experience with pets, and how much she cares. I really appreciate the time and attention she spends with my best friend when I can't be home. Thanks Ally!”

I am no stranger to the hobby farm life, if you are rural and looking for someone to drop in on the critters.

Fitting pet care around my work is easy and fun! I am happy to drive to your home to check on your pets multiple times a day, and I am careful with your home and belongings. I clean up after pets, and am happy to sit and love them when they are missing you! I am definitely happy to send pictures and updates as well, I know how nice it is to see your pets when you are away, just to be sure they are happy and healthy!

About: I’ve taken care of parrots, parakeets, cats, kittens, puppies, dogs, bees, and fish. I used to be a former cat breeder:)There’s not a limit as to what I can do. I currently have flexible availability and love to surround myself with furry companions🐱🐶 I take care of my kitty Sasha, she’s 18 years old and a sweetheart. Our pets deserve all the love that they can get! I have a fenced yard and a lot of space for your pet to run around, also indoor with 1 empty room in case your pet needs privacy and time alone to get adjusted.
About: I just moved to Portland and I work remotely so I can definitely spend time with any pets I care for! Growing up my family always had pets and I loved taking care of them! My family currently has one dog and anytime I go back to Southern California to visit I love hanging out with her. Throughout my life I've always been the one to call for pet sitting when neighbors and friends go away on vacation. I really love taking care of their dogs and cats while they're away. Along with helping my friends and family take care of their pets I've also worked at a pet supply store where I interacted with animals daily. Before moving to Portland I lived in Bend where I had a good amount of repeat pet sitting gigs and I loved them like they were my own. Before moving to Oregon I lived in San Francisco for about 12 years. While living in San Francisco I volunteered with the SPCA which was definitely a great experience! I've always loved animals and I feel like I am just happier around them :D I currently work from home so I can spend all day everyday with the pets I care for! I love going on walks throughout the week and my work schedule is flexible so I can take your pet out anytime :) I follow all rules your pet currently has so it doesn’t disrupt their daily routine. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable while in my care.
About: I've had rescue dogs who were able to live long healthy lives under my care. I don't currently have any animals of my own but while I was in graduate school I also helped care for my dads dogs. When I was a teenager, I worked at a kids camp and took care of horses during the summers. I've also had cats, a rabbit, ferrets, and a hedgehog. I've also volunteered at farm sanctuaries quite a bit working with all kinds of animals including pigs, goats, sheep, and more. I've house sat for people with cats, dogs, and even a sugar glider. I also have experience administering medications to animals big and small. I work four 10 hour shifts per week from 4pm-2:30am. The days that I work vary each week. I'd love to check in on pets or watch them for the day on my days off. Pets can have free range in my apartment and there is a small backyard area that is unfenced. If I'm staying at your home, I'll do my best to keep pets on their normal routine and give them as much love as possible
About: Animal lover. Give me details about what your pet needs and I will provide great care. I have 10 years of pet sitting experience. I will walk your dogs and clean up messes. I will feed according to their schedule and most importantly provide them with the love and care I would want as if they are my own. I can do drop in’s to clients nearby and overnight stays to anyone as far as 15 miles away, but for overnight stays I would prefer that my own dog (very friendly) would be able to come too. I communicate very well and will be happy to send photos of your dogs so you can see them while you are away at work or on vacation. Thank you for considering me. I work 3 days per week but am still able to provide love and care to your pets on these days. I only work 3 days per week, so am able to be at home for 4 days to care for your pet. I am a huge animal lover so will make sure your pets get what they need, especially on the days I am working. At this time I am not accepting any boarding requests but thank you for the consideration. I am accepting in home requests for your pets!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
