“Chloe was great with our cat, Satchmo. She did drop-in visits for his meals and a little bit of socializing. She sent pics every day and updated us. We feel like we can trust her coming in and out of our house. Great experience.”
“Cheryl was amazing! I couldn't have picked a better person to sit with my baby while being out of town! She gave me daily updates to let me know how my kitty was doing! I would highly recommend Cheryl!! Thanks again!”
“Kylee did a wonderful job watching our cats while we went on vacation. We have three cats, one boy and two girls. She cared for them for four nights. She provided daily updates and sent pictures as well. It was nice knowing they were well cared for while we were away. She is now our first choice for care for our cats when we are out of town.”
About: Hi! I’m Allie. I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life (over 10+ years of hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets). On top of a lifetime of personal pet ownership, I worked professionally as a veterinary assistant for 3 years. Beyond clinical experience, I'm an active-duty Air Force service member, so reliability, discipline, and attention to detail are second nature to me. Whether your pet needs high-energy play, structured care, or a gentle touch, they will be in safe, highly trained hands. Having worked in a vet clinic, I am comfortable and confident handling: -Puppies and kittens (routine setup, basic training support, energy outlets) -Senior pets and animals with special health or mobility needs -Oral/topical medication administration (if applicable) -Spotting signs of anxiety, distress, or health changes early What You Can Expect: Clear & Frequent Communication: Regular photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Respect & Security: Total respect for your home, schedule, and specific instructions. Tailored Care: Daily routines built entirely around your pet's comfort level and regular feeding/walk schedules. I look forward to meeting you and giving your fur babies five-star care while you're away! I am active-duty military with a consistent schedule (Mon–Fri, 0700–1630). Evenings & Weekends: Fully open for drop-in visits and dog walking after 16:30 on weekdays, and completely flexible all day Saturday and Sunday. Drop-In Visits & Walks: Available for feeding, exercise, play, and medication administration while you are away or out for the evening. As a former veterinary assistant, safety is my top priority. I am trained to handle emergencies, manage feeding routines, and administer oral or topical medications. When house sitting or dropping in, I keep your home secure, clean, and quiet. I always double-check leashes, harnesses, and yard gates before letting pets outside. You can expect regular text and photo updates during every stay so you know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for!
About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's individual personality and needs. I have volunteered at the Kansas Humane Society as well as Beauties and Beasts. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to following your instructions and keeping you updated while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and can plan visits around my other commitments. I am most available for drop-in visits and dog walks during weekday evenings and throughout Saturday and Sunday. I understand that consistency is important, especially for pets who are used to a regular schedule. I do my best to maintain their normal routine while you're away and communicate with you if anything changes. I follow each pet's individual routine and prefer to have instructions written out, along with the opportunity to meet and greet beforehand. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh food and water and give them attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks based on their needs. For dog walks, I'll follow your instructions for the length and pace of the walk and make sure your dog is safely returned home. I also take care to keep homes tidy and secure. Not only do I want your pets to feel safe and cared for while you're away, I want you to feel comfortable knowing they are being well looked after. I'll keep you updated during visits and am happy to send photos so you know how they're doing. I also take care to keep homes tidy and secure. Not only do I want your pets to feel safe and cared for while you're away, I also want you to feel comfortable that they are being well looked after. I'll keep you updated during visits and am happy to send photos so you know how they're doing.
“My husband and I were very worried leaving our geriatric cat (20+ years old so literally ancient) for 12 days on an international trip, however Amber’s expertise put us at ease. She was very capable to give Jinx her meds, thorough in messaging about pertinent info and prompt to respond. I would highly recommend her and happily have her back in the future!”
About: I am training to be a dog trainer so I could help train you dogs/cats. I don't have any dogs of my own right now but I would love to help others people and their pets. I would love to take care of pets. I will only stay at your house with your pet if you need me to or would like me to. I can walk them as long as it isn't too hot or too cold for them. When pet sitting I could help teach you pets how to do new tricks.
“We had Natalie come in a couple of times to check in on our cat while my husband and I were on a week vacay and she kept us updated and went above and beyond. Our cat is very timid and is not a people person but she still came out and greeted her. 100% would book again!!”
“Reagan was so great with our kitties. They instantly took a liking to her and were well taken care of. She was very communicative and shared daily updates with pics. Highly recommend”
“Holly was great! I asked her very last minute and she was so nice and flexed her schedule to come meet my babies before I had to leave town. This was their first time with a sitter and they were so well taken care of. I’ll definitely be doing it again!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my family since I was 8 years old and I began dog sitting for neighbors, friends, and family when I was 12. I completed animal behavior training at Kansas Humane Society and have volunteered as a dog walker and playing with the rescue dogs. I take special interest in understanding dog training and behavior and read and watch videos on these topics often. I currently work a normal 8am-5pm office job with a lunch break midday which I can use for a visit. I am completely available on weekends. I am happy to do overnight stays if needed. I have cats in my home and currently do not have a fence so I don't offer in home boarding for dogs. I am extremely attentive and detail oriented. I maintain tidy homes and happy pets. I truly enjoy cuddling and playing so your dog is in good hands with me. If we work together I will send a form to collect all the information needed to ensure I meet all of your needs and then we will do an introduction prior to the sitting.
About: I've had a cat in my life since the day I was born, my parents still own the one we got when I was 13 (he's now 19 and going strong). I also walked a neighbour's dog from 12 to 21 (a lhasa apso) and have experience walking other dogs in a range of sizes, from papillon up to a 100+lb show golden retriever. Currently living the housewife life so schedule is flexible as heck. My own animals have a flexible feeding schedule in that they don't like food to be late, but if it's early they are thrilled. If your dog is crate trained, I'm willing and able to continue that as needed. Open to whatever walk length is needed for the pet in caring for. Willing to walk cats too if your kitty is leash trained (one of mine is and loves his outside time).
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals. I trained my families dog in high school. I’ve been dog sitting (and caring for other animals) for family/friends for over 15 years. I’ve watched puppies as young as 8 weeks and as old at 20 years. I am a recent college graduate with quite a bit of free time! I am free most days and evenings and am usually pretty flexible! I do not have any pets in my home at the moment but grew up with lots of animals and plan to have lots running around one day!
“Wow! I can’t say enough about Miss Cassie. I have 2 medium sized dogs and a smaller dog I am fostering. From the moment I met her, I was put at ease. Cassie has a gentle, calmness about her that my dogs took to right away. They are a bit protective of us but melted in Cassie’s arm after the first initial barks. She visited our house twice a day and fed, played with and just loved on our dogs. She is very communicative and sent tons of fun pictures. I could not speak more highly about her pet skills, love of dogs and the way she kept us informed. I will be asking Cassie for help again in the near future, she ROCKS! My pooches will be missing her!???”
“Mandy did a great job taking care of my cats and was very kind and helpful. Communication was great as well. would highly recommend Mandy as your pet sitter, and I will definitely be using Mandy again in the future!”
About: I have worked closely with foster and rescue dogs for the last 7 years so I am very experienced when it comes to dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I have done it all from feeding, bathing, walking as well as administering medication. I am very kind, caring, and loving and I'll treat your animals as if they were my own! I work with pets every day so I am usually always available. I can also be flexible to ensure that it works with your schedule. I have 3 dogs of my own that are my pride and joy so I know how important it is to have someone you trust be able to take care of your pet. I promise to make sure your fur baby is loved, exercised, fed and watered while in my care!
About: I have had 6 dogs in my lifetime 2 Labradors, 3 Miniature Dachshund and a Schnauzer. I currently live with 3 Miniature Daschunds. My favorite thing about my fur babies is to play and snuggle with them. My dogs are my world and I hope I get to meet your pets! I’m currently looking to help care for dogs when I am not at work. I typically work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays from 8-4. I am very flexible as well. I live with 2 dogs currently and I typically take the dogs out every 2 hours and take time out of the day to play with them and or go on a walk if I’m not busy.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Derby
Aubrey was my first Rover experience! She was quick to respond to my last minute need of someone to take care of my pets after my plans fell through. She asked clarifying questions regarding care instructions, and the pictures that you receive for each visit showed me my pets smiling! I barely knew anything about the app and the reports and notifications you receive about each visit, and the picture proofs, was an amazing surprise and a huge relief of anxiety about leaving my pets at home with someone coming into your home to take care of them! I can tell my pets liked Aubrey, and I’m so grateful to her for being this person in the world for others. I would absolutely recommend her.

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.
