“Stacey does an awesome job with our cat Taki. She always does her best to get our shy little girl out to play and eat when she visits. We love the photos. Always helps us when we are away to see her being taken care of and to know she is safe.”
“Jennifer was great! She was able to come spend time with our 2 cats Buddy and Howard when our other rover sitter could not come last minute. She took great care of them and her son was also great playing with them and making sure they did not get lonely while we were away. I will definitely be requesting her again as a sitter. I would recommend her !”
“Melanie is awesome. She truly cares about my babies and takes such great care of them while I’m out of town. I don’t have to stress because she is very reliable and trustworthy. Thank you Melanie!”
“Megan is polite, respectful and communicative. You can't ask for a better person to take care of your furry family members while you are away. Very happy and would rebook again!”
About: I have taken care of animals of every kind since I was a little girl. I have been trusted to care for many of my friends, neighbors, and families pets. I currently have two sweet dogs and a loving cat I’m currently an online Master’s student, so my schedule is very flexible and open. I’m looking forward to caring for pets during my study breaks! I am a very hands-on pet caretaker. I like to make sure each animal I meet feels loved and special! I have a knack for building trust with animals (I think it’s my patience and warm nature that’s the key)!
About: Since I can remember as a little girl, I’ve always had a passion & drive to take care of animals and really interact & get to know them. Each has their own personality that are just so fun to explore. From as small as anoles and 3 week old kittens, up to as big as Great Danes & large parrots, I’ve cared for everything and I love getting to know each pet! [small fee for meet & greets past 12 miles (~over 30 minute drive) for fuel, thank you!] Currently, my schedule is free! Looking to try to get into this full time, but anything dealing with animals is my focus! My schedule is very open right now and i’m open to anytimes! I will definitely get to know your pet first, go slow with them and just build a positive, playful rapport with them so they truly get to trust me. Anything you or your pet needs, please let me know and I definitely am so willing to make it happen! I care that your pet is comfortable and happy with me!!
About: I have cared for or been around almost every dog breed that exists. Every time I meet a new pet, it very easy for me to get comfortable with them and show them the respect they deserve in order for them to get comfortable with me. I have owned 3 different dog breeds, each different sizes. Big, medium, or small, I am able to walk and play with them all! I am currently in flight school, flying Saturday to Tuesday every week for 3 hours out of the day. I can attend to your pets before and after a flight, or any time on the days I am not flying (Wednesday to Friday). I will follow your instructions to the last detail. How I walk and play with your dog is how you would walk and play with your dog. I have experience with elderly pets as well and will work with you to get them active without pushing them too much.
“Kaci did a fantastic job of caring for my pets. Each day her report and pics of the kitties came in bright and clear. She is responsible and reliable, and obviously loves animals very much. I will not hesitate to hire her again.”
About: I grew up on a Midwest hobby farm surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, and ducks, so animal care has always been second nature to me. Today, I share my life with a 5-year-old Belgian Malinois who was born blind. If you know Malinois, you know they are high-energy, intensely smart working dogs. You would never guess mine is blind! Raising and training him from a puppy required extra focus on safety, clear communication, and non-judgmental use of training tools, including Herm Sprenger collars and e-collars with vibration cues. Through consistency and patience, he now walks comfortably in a gentle harness with rock-solid basic commands, recall, and search skills. I share this because I truly understand that every dog has unique needs, training levels, and reactivity. You will never be judged here. My top priority is keeping everyone safe and comfortable while respecting the tools and routines that work best for your dog. Why work with me? Special Needs & High-Energy Expertise: From tiny companions to large working breeds, blind or special-needs pets, I have the experience and patience to handle them with care. Flexible WFH Schedule: Working from home means I offer consistent supervision, companionship, and routine adherence throughout the day. Safety & Peace of Mind: I prioritize safety above all else, ensuring your dog gets the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need without unnecessary stress. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that means training, playing, or relaxing together. Most importantly, I will treat your pets with the exact same love, vigilance, and dedication I give my own! Because I work from home, my schedule is very flexible. I can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s routine, whether that means walks, meals, playtime, or quiet companionship. I have ample experience caring for pets in their familiar environment. I follow your instructions carefully, keep your home tidy, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: I have had fur babies my whole life. I'm mature, dependable, trustworthy, and love pets. I have the time, patience, and energy to give your furry family members the dedicated attention they deserve. I will prioritize their safety, routine and happiness above all else. I have property rentals that don't take much of my daily time so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. My goal will be to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible while you are away. I will have a small list of questions, so we cover everything. I will send you a daily photo and updates, so you don't worry. I will keep your home clean, secure and exactly how you left it.

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.

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 .

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 .
