About: I have been around animals my whole life. From pigs to dogs, I have taken care of a lot of animals. I started off pet siting for family members and friends and recently started caring through Rover. I love the community on the app and have had so much fun getting to know everyone’s pets. I am currently a full time student at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. I play collegiate softball which has shown me positive time management skills. I work part time as a mobility tech at an hospital and have worked multiple other jobs. Because I only work part time, my schedule is very flexible and open. I have one dog and two cats at home. My dog is full of energy so I am in charge of taking him on walks and outside on the daily. My cats are very low energy and love to sleep. I am able to care for high energy or low energy animals since I have experience with both.
About: I’d love the opportunity to take care of your pet!

You can count on me to take excellent care of your pets!
“Izzy did a great job taking care of our three cats. She was extremely conscientious and was very sensitive to the cats issues especially since we were introducing two new cats into our one cat household and it was not the easiest dynamic. She was very attentive to the situation and the cats were doing well upon our return. She was very tuned into the directions about their food and litter and personalities. Izzy stayed at our home and everything was in perfect order upon our return. Izzy was very thoughtful and sending us pictures, videos, and updates. We will certainly turn to her again the next time we need pet sitting/housesitting.”

Super experienced in animal safety and caretaking, I can also give medications as long as it is orally administered. I have a pit bull of my own :)
“Faith checked in on our cat while we were out of town for spring break. There was a little hiccup at the beginning but we figured it, and after that every went smoothly. Faith was very honest and accommodating which I both appreciate very much. Communication went well, and the regular picture updates showed clearly that our cat felt comfortable enough around Faith to come close engough to get petted and to play. We arrived home to a well cared for cat and home. Thank you very much. When we need a sitter again and our schedules line up, I'm booking Faith again.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I cared for a Golden Retriever, a Husky, and a Jackapoo, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I currently have four cats of my own, so I am also very comfortable caring for cats and understanding their unique needs and behaviors. Through the years, I have gained experience with feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, litter box maintenance, administering basic medications, and providing pets with a safe and loving environment. Friends and family have trusted me to help care for their pets while they were away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or simply someone reliable to check in on them, I am committed to providing dependable and compassionate care. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. On Fridays, I work from home and have flexibility throughout the day, including my lunch hour. I am available for evening walks and drop-in visits during the week, and I have open availability on weekends. I am committed to being reliable, punctual, and providing pets with the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I take the time to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care and will treat them as if they were my own.
“Madeleine was very nice, respectful, and helpful while taking care of my cats. There were a couple of minor hiccups—she arrived late on the first day and spent quite a bit of time on her phone rather than actively playing with the cats—but overall, she provided good care, and everything went well.”
“This was my first time using Patricia for cat drop-ins, and I felt completely at peace the whole time I was away. She understands cats and treats them with care. Her updates were the best I've received from any sitter: thorough, with great photos, and you can tell she isn't just checking boxes. She really pays attention and lets you know how your pets are doing. Don't hesitate. Book her!”
“Emily took perfect care of my kitties and did everything I asked. She gave me thorough updates and even cleaned up their messes. They don’t like strangers and they were out playing with her and trusting her to give treats during visits. I plan on booking her again! 🤗”
“Spectacular house/pet sitter for our 14 year old cat. Communicated frequently with pictures of our cat looking happy and left the house in great shape. Katherine is a lovely and caring sitter and we highly recommend her!”
About: I have 1 cat at home and my partner has 1 dog who basically acts like a cat, so I am looking for an excuse to be around dogs (preferably <25 lbs) who may need some company. Friends and family have entrusted me with their pets for years (both for walks and overnight stays) and I take that responsibility incredibly seriously. I have a full-time hybrid position that has me at home on Mondays and Fridays with some flexibility from Tuesday - Thursday. On days when I am in the office, I will be home before 4:30pm for any afternoon feeding times. I am also available on weekends with advanced notice. I have a large unfenced yard and live less than a block away from a dedicated dog park. I have one small dog (15 lbs) and one cat who are happy to keep your pet company or can be kept in a different part of the house depending on your needs.
“Hanan took great care of Oreo while we were gone and she is the first overnight stay Rover that actually listens to us and takes advantage of the stay and treats it like a staycation which we encourage. We came home to a happy kitty!”

I can’t say enough about Safa! I had to leave on a 10-day trip, and I was so worried about my cat’s wellbeing in my absence. Safa stopped by before I even finalized my booking with her. She spent time with me learning about my cat’s habits and listening carefully to details to know how to handle her while I’m gone. During my trip, she was very communicative, kind, and helpful. Her commitment to show up at the designated times and ensure my cat gets fed and cared for made me feel at ease, and it surely made my cat happy and comfortable in my absence. I highly recommend Safa, and I can’t thank her enough for her service. Will definitely hire her again!
Sarah took excellent care of my girls. This was my first time leaving them. They are independent young cats, but have not been left alone. Sarah came before for a meet and greet and to explain what she does during her visits. I received updates and photos as well. We will definitely be requesting Sarah in the future. ❤️
Sophie is the best! She was able to accommodate a last minute drop by for my dads cat, she was the only one in the area that helped me and I’m so grateful! She followed all instruction, made sure to give his cat some love and communicated very well. I highly recommend.

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.

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.
