About: Hi! I’m Abby 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover and would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members while you’re away! I have 3 years of experience caring for all kinds of cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups who need a good walk and playtime to laid-back dogs and cats who just want some company and cuddles. I’m experienced with walking, feeding, giving pets attention, and keeping them on their normal routines. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, so I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m also happy to send plenty of updates and pictures while you’re away so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for! Whether your pet needs a walk, a meal, some playtime, or simply a little extra love and attention, I’d be happy to help. I’d love to meet you and your pets and become someone you can count on whenever they need care! 🐶🐱❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine! I enjoy spending my free time with animals, whether that means going for a walk, stopping by for a visit, playing with a kitty, or giving a pet some extra attention and cuddles. I’m able to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, meals, and care they need. I’m dependable and flexible, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. I follow their normal routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any other instructions you provide. I know pets can feel more comfortable in their familiar environment, so I give them plenty of attention and companionship while allowing them to stay in the space they know and love. I’m respectful of your home and will always leave things clean and just as I found them. I’m also happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for! 🐾❤️
“Lauren was amazing. She showed up every day on time. Took care of my two kittens and made sure they were played with a bit. Highly recommend her if you need someone to stop in and check on/feed cats.”
About: I recently retired early, sold my small business, and am excited to spend more time doing something that has always been a big part of my life - caring for and loving animals. I have been a pet mom and caregiver for many years, looking after furry friends of every age, personality, and quirk. I have 2 kitties, one who is an outgoing crazy character and the other sweet and shy. We sadly lost our Goldendoodle recently and I'd love to share cuddles and walks with your dog(s). I am reliable, patient and calm - and treat every pet with the same affection and care I give my own. I recently retired so my schedule is very flexible for daily drop-ins, overnight stays, walks, playtime, and cuddles. Have a last-minute trip or unexpected work meeting? I have the time and treats! When caring for your pets, I put their safety and comfort first. With many years of experience caring for pets, I know that each is unique, with different personalities and comfort level with new people. I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is for everything to feel just as safe, calm, and familiar as when you are there. I follow your routines closely, keep your home tidy, and pay attention to all of the little things that help your pet feel secure. What sets me apart is that during my career, I traveled quite a bit and hired pet sitters to stay with my kitties and dog. I know, from a client's perspective, what was important to me and my fur babies. I will send you daily updates and photos (unless that's not your preference), so you and your pets can feel completely comfortable and stress-free.
“We are so thankful we found Kelly! We felt so comfortable with her, she had great communication with us prior to and duringher visits, she even took pictures of our shy cat who came out for her. We are very pleased with her experience and knowledge of different cat personalities. Our cat and us greatly appreciated her. We will definitely be using Kelly again and recommend her to anyone who needs someone to watch their pets!”
“Mikayla is very kind and attentive to detail. She did a great job with Mysti. Mysti is somewhat shy around people she doesn’t know so tends to observe from a distance at first. I look forward to having Mikayla taking care of Mysti again to get even more acquainted.”
About: I am a teacher turned stay at home mom on a 3 acre homestead in the city. I am very responsible, prompt and give detailed care. I would love to match the schedule you keep your pet on at home! I am naturally communicative and clear and love the outdoors in all weather. Our whole family loves to care for your pet! I have loved and cared a menagerie of pets over the years--4 dogs from puppy through their senior years, many cats, birds, and a bearded dragon. I am my friends' favorite pet sitter because the whole family is genuinely excited to love your animals! I have plenty of experience in puppy and senior dog care. Can't wait to meet you! I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available most days to board your pet! Our senior dog just passed away, so we would welcome your animal to our spacious 3 acre homestead. I thoroughly enjoy taking dogs on walks and playing fetch. I can easily crate your pet if we decide it is best.
“I had never used Rover before and having Tala stay overnight with my kitty for several days was the best experience! It was like we had known each other for a long time - the whole process was very easy and comfortable and she sent me a photo of my older cat cuddled up on her chest - obviously I am not the only one leaving a 5-star review. Thank you, Tala!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I picked Jessica based on her profile and location. She was nice enough to come out and meet me and my kitties before my booking which helped put me at ease. The date of the booking she was punctual and even sent me pictures of my babies so I knew they were ok. She was very sweet and even my more antisocial kitty really took to her! One might say she is an animal whisperer. I definitely recommend Jessica if you are looking for someone to check in on your fur babies.”
“Thank you so much for your loving care of my kitty! And for sending the photos and notes! They were much appreciated! And thanks for watering the plants—they look great! HAPPY WEDDING!”
About: A Loving Home Away From Home 🐾 I love animals of all sizes and personalities—from big dogs to tiny pups, and from energetic adventurers to professional couch potatoes! I have years of experience caring for my own cats and dogs, along with training experience through courses such as Puppy Training 101 and training for fearful/reactive dogs. I’m also an experienced foster provider for two local animal rescues. Fostering requires additional vetting, training, and an in-home visit, and I’m proud to help rescue dogs on their journey to finding their forever homes. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, and I’m happy to care for cats, too. For boarding, I’m unable to accept dogs who are aggressive toward people or other animals so that I can keep everyone safe and comfortable. I also telework multiple days per week, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks and plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether your pup wants walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a cozy place to relax, I’m happy to tailor their stay to what they enjoy most! 🐶💕 On weekends, I’m home most of the time. I also work from home multiple days per week, so pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I may occasionally be out for a short time for work, errands, or shopping, but I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and care throughout the day. In my home, your pet can enjoy a mix of playtime, walks, relaxation, and social time with our resident pup, depending on their personality and comfort level. For care in your home, I’m available for drop-in visits and sitting, including check-ins, playtime, potty breaks, and walks. I’m happy to tailor their care to their individual routine and needs. For boarding I will require proof of vaccination/current flea prevention. I will not accept behaviors or aggressive dogs in my home unfortunately.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for more than 30 years and understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after a member of your family. I’m a responsible, mature professional and longtime dog owner who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities, including senior dogs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications and each owner’s individual instructions. My goal is simple: keep your dog safe, comfortable, happy and well cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. My work schedule is flexible and varies throughout the month, giving me plenty of days and time at home to provide attentive pet care. I carefully manage my Rover availability so I only accept bookings when I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for weekdays, weekends and extended stays depending on my schedule. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and want every pet to feel comfortable and secure in my care. I have a friendly dog of my own and will make sure dogs are introduced appropriately before sharing our home. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll respect their normal feeding, walking, medication and sleeping routines and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away.
“Elyse met up with us at it home to get a general lay of the land; to see what we needed and it turns out that she is a super wonderful woman. We had her come by to make sure our super shy cat, Anne Bonny, was fed. Now, I hardly see this cat and she loves me, but on day one, Anne Bonny was rolling over and letting Elyse rub her belly! I'm hoping that Elyse is available every time we need to go out of town!”

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 .

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.
