“Kirsten was wonderful! I got pictures everytime she visited my pups. They seemed to enjoy Kirsten dropping in for visits and having playtime. She really does a great job of taking care of my girls, especially my old dog. If your pet needs extra care, I highly recomend asking for Kirsten's services!”
About: I have about 14 years of experience caring for dogs and have owned six dogs throughout my life. Two of them were with me for their entire lives, giving me experience caring for dogs through every stage of life. I will take the time to learn your dog's unique personality and routine in order to make them feel safe and comfortable, and I will care for them as as if they were my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have pets of my own. I'm accustomed to making time for feeding, playtime, attention, and keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your pets requires a great deal of trust. I will respect your home, privacy, and belongings while carefully following the routines and instructions you provide. My priority is to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and happy in their familiar surroundings, while giving you peace of mind.
“Jessica is absolutely fantastic! She was able to watch my dog on short notice and took exceptional care of him!!! She was patient with me when I was slightly panicking because I was out of state and the person who was supposed to watch him cancelled. She made sure I didn’t have to worry about my dog and I knew he would be cared for properly. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Grace was a great sitter.Came every day and made sure the cats had food in their bowls and took care of litter box.She showed love to them just like her own cats.Sent pictures to me every day and said how they were doing. Will highly recommend her and use her the next time I travel.”
“Sherri is a wonderful sitter. Our cat is not the easiest but Sherri was very patient and loving with her, figuring out her quirks and willing to work around them. We would highly recommend her services.”

About: Been in veterinary medicine for 14 years. Help trained Search and Rescue dogs for the last 5 years. Work with all kinds of dogs. Love cats. Happy to help any way possible. Grew up on a farm with lots of animals. Happy to take care of animals throughout my day and week. Can adjust things as needed. I will treat your animals like they are my own. Most animals have anxiety staying in other places. I prefer to keep pets in their natural environment and less stressful. Im respectful and accommodating to animals.
About: I’ve taken care of family & friend’s horses, dogs, cats and even a bird! Most of the cats I look after are senior cats, however I also care for dogs too! (A St. Bernard, 2 daschunds, a pitbull, and 2 Rottweilers, just to name a few breeds) I’m a pretty adventure-driven person and empathetic to animals. The people I surround myself with, love to travel (as do I) and often times their dogs and cats need a reliable & established sitter so I do tend to travel out of state to pet sit and housesit when needed. I’m currently an independent artist & retired wrestler on the move to Arkansas from Kentucky. I don’t have any pets of my own but I enjoy taking care of animals of loved ones and neighbors. As I start this new chapter of my life, I’m looking to create art more while a flexible but full time job of pet sitting. You’re welcome to provide me with care instructions but I mostly just talk to animals like they’re small children learning. I sing songs sometimes when I play with toys or when we go on walks, but especially during bathing(if necessary/requested) a cat/dog to help calm their nerves. Cats tend to love cuddling with me and I love taking active dogs for walks on nature trails or car rides.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over eight years, including puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets. Whether it’s high-energy walks, medication administration, or just lots of belly rubs and companionship, I treat every pet like my own. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on your pet’s comfort and happiness. I also have experience with basic training and understand how to adapt to different behavioral needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my days around walks, feeding times, and quality play or cuddle sessions. I’m flexible and prioritize consistency, making sure each pet receives the attention, care, and routine they’re used to—whether it’s early morning walks or evening check-ins. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions closely, keep pets on their normal schedule, and ensure they feel safe and secure. Whether in your home or mine, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment, free from hazards and full of love and attention. Communication is key—I provide regular updates so you always feel connected and reassured.

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
