“We are so so grateful for Sandy!!!! She cared for our baby cat twice a day while we were away. She sent multiple pictures a day, gave daily reports detailing activities as well as mood and food/drink consumption, cleaned the litter box, and spent quality time loving and playing with our cat. I’m always so nervous and sad to leave her, but felt so comforted with her in Sandy’s care. Recommend a million times ????”
“Stephanie was great! She dutifully came and checked in on my cat Fiona - she documented and reported each visit and followed all of the steps I laid out. I would absolutely recommend her for your pet!”
“Liz was exactly perfect for our 10 Day, daily drop in for our cats. She was prompt and responsive every day and provided pictures of her interaction with our pets. I enjoyed getting to know her and will absolutely use again for future vacations! Thanks Liz, you’re the best!! 🐾💕🐾”
“Lily was wonderful! She dropped in on my kitty while I was out of town, taking great care of him and providing timely updates on how the visits went. I would book her again, and would recommend her to anyone!”
“We are so grateful for Michael and his excellent care of Morpheus! We needed a sitter last minute and he was super flexible. Also sent some amazing pictures of Morphy! Would definitely book with him again!”
About: My whole life I grew up around animals. We had many dogs, cats, chickens, and goats. I had dogs from 5 pounds to 100 pounds. I’ve had chihuahuas, Shepherds, mastiffs, and Rottweilers. We also had guinea pigs and rabbits. I was taking care of my dogs and animals at a young age. I was also around a police dog growing up, so I knew at a young age how to be calm and gentle. I’ve had puppies to seniors who I’ve had to put down. I’ve been around dogs who are very protective of their food and their belongings. I’ve also been around dogs who have needed to stay separated because of them not getting along. I’ve taken my friends dogs to vets before. I also have two cats so I am completely okay with them as well. I own a 60 pound German Shepherd who Is very friendly towards my cats. I am in the middle of training him. He is a puller when we go on walks, so I do have experience with strong animals. I am not a picky person at all, so if your animal has any sort of disorder or illness, I will not judge nor mind at all. I am also very flexible with anything, so if you have any certain requests, please feel free to ask! I currently take care of family & friends animals on the side! They all are super satisfied with my work! I had one client who continued to book me outside of this app, it was easier for her & I watched her kitties at a 2 year duration! I am able to play with high energy animals, along with just chilling on the couch if they like to snuggle or need to sleep
About: Hi, I’m Tae! Being the trusted house and pet sitter has kind of always been “my thing.” Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me for years to care for their homes and fur babies, and I genuinely love it. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I make sure they get lots of attention, care, and cuddles while you’re gone! I have a flexible schedule with my job, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I also walk a lot on my own, so I’d love to have a furry friend to join me for walks! Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or keeping up with daily routines, I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I love caring for pets of all kinds and have house-sat for years. With a flexible schedule, I provide walks, play, and attention but don’t take pets home.
About: Hi! I have years experience walking and babysitting furry friends. I have multiple references available upon request! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby soon! I am currently off work for the summer so I have plenty of free time for your fur baby! I work in a school district. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly Yorkshire terrier who loves playing with friends. Huxley (my yorkie) and I live alone so we would love to have some furry company!
About: As a lifelong owner of dogs & cats, I’ve provided care for all of my animals when it comes to feeding, grooming, walking, and companionship. For pets that are not my own, I’ve provided assistance to friends and family when it comes to walking, feeding, and pet-sitting (10 years of experience). I have experience with pets of all ages (puppy to senior, kitten to adult) and love them all the same! I work a full-time job (typical working hours) with lots of flexibility after 4:30pm during the work week. On the weekends, my schedule opens with availability of mornings afternoons & nights! Safety and trust are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I maintain a calm, structured environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as provided and always keep pets supervised indoors and outdoors. I double-check doors, use secure leashing practices, and never introduce unfamiliar animals without clear permission. I also can provide consistent photo and video updates so pet parents feel fully informed and at ease while they’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and stress-free!
“This was our second time having Missy&Justin cat sit and we are so grateful for them! We had incredibly attentive care for our kitty and couldn't be more pleased. Thank you!!”
“Maureen took great care of our kitties while we were out of town. Our cats are not always the most welcoming of new people and they both took well to her. She played with them and followed all the instructions provided. When we got home, we could tell they were well loved and cared for. She also provided photos everyday which we appreciated greatly!”
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. My family has almost always had 2 dogs. I’ve had two puppies so far that i’ve trained and raised from about 8-10 weeks. I am currently in college at the moment in State College but I live at home in Petersburg. I only have classes Monday thru Thursday and my last class of the day ends at 12:15 or 2:05 every day. I have most evenings open from then on. I do have a part time job that I usually work 4-5 days a week . I do not have a fenced in yard but I live in the country so I don’t have many neighbors or roads to worry about. My puppy stays in a kennel during the day as he still likes to chew and my older dog does not go in a crate. They both have plenty of toys to play with and a big yard to run around in.
About: I’ve had considerable experience with cats and dogs — over 50 years of being around them — and I now share my home with three cats. I’m now starting to offer pet care as a way to earn money, and I’ll come to your place for drop-in visits, overnight stays, and house sitting. I’m also open to caring for other pets. I’m a calm, patient person, and animals really respond to that energy. When I arrive, I make enough noise so pets aren’t startled, then I spend a minute talking with them and reading how they’re feeling before feeding, litter breaks, potty breaks, or play — whatever they need at that moment. I’m comfortable giving shy pets the time they need to warm up. I don’t have much experience with special needs care, but I’m happy to handle meds or anxiety with a steady, reassuring approach. If a dog barks, I’ll soothe them with a calm voice; if they pull on the leash, I’ll pause until they settle; if a pet’s shy, I’ll let them come to me. My schedule is flexible and I can work around your dates, including weekends and holidays. People often tell me they appreciate my calm, thoughtful approach — it helps my pets feel safe and at ease. I’d love to meet your cat or dog! IMPORTANT- I am flexible. 😊 I will do my best to accommodate reasonable requests. We will discuss details when I come to meet your pet(s). My schedule is flexible since I’m retired. I can work around your schedule, or adjust my own to fit what your pet needs. I do have a couple evening meetings each month, and I’m busy on Sunday mornings.

Cove cat parents share their Rover experiences
Missy was SPECTACULAR! We couldn't say enough about how wonderful her care was for our little furry gremlin! She provided detailed updates on how he was eating, his moods and playful times, and her photos on the Rover Cards look like they were shot by a professional pet photographer! We instantly felt comfortable with her when she met our kitty. 110% would work with her again!
