About: I have 4 years of hands on experience caring for my own and others’ pets, including senior, disabled, and chronically ill animals. I’m comfortable with pets who need extra patience and attention, including medication routines, mobility accommodations, feeding and hydration monitoring, and changes in behavior or appetite. I also have experience with everyday care such as feeding, litter boxes, walks, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable while their people are away. I’m currently offering pet sitting on a limited basis so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention. My schedule is flexible, and I’m starting with a small number of bookings each week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s established feeding, medication, play, and care routine. I care for pets in their own home and follow the routines and instructions provided by their owner. I’m attentive to feeding, water, medications, litter boxes, walks, behavior, and changes in appetite or energy. I’m especially comfortable giving senior, disabled, or special-needs pets the patience and extra attention they may need.
“Carmen and Dee were absolutely wonderful watching our two cats over the 4th of July holiday weekend. They came by a week before for a meet so we could get all questions out of the way beforehand. And during the actual visit, they brought a package inside for us and took many pictures of the cats playing and showing they were well cared for. Highly recommend!”

About: I regularly help care for my parents’ 6 year old Schnauzer and my sister’s 7 year old dog, so I’m very familiar with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving them lots of attention and affection. Spending time with them has helped me understand every different personalities and energy levels, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m a recent college grad working part-time, so my schedule’s pretty flexible. I’m available a good chunk of the day to take care of cats and dogs. Feeding, walks, litter box or playtime, all of that fits in easily, and since I’m not gone for long stretches, they won’t be alone too much! For drop-ins and walks, I will follow your routine for feeding and care needs including litter box scooping for cats, keep leashes/harnesses secure for dogs, and stay attentive the whole time. I clean up after walks, refresh water and food, and double check doors are locked before I leave. I always send an update with photos afterward :)
About: I've been helping my family to care for our animals since I was 8— and I had a cat of my own for 13 years, so I know what steady, attentive care looks like over the long haul. I've pet sat kittens and puppies for friends, handling feeding and medication schedules while owners were away. I've also given regular diabetes medication to a friend's cat, so I'm confident administering medication reliably and on schedule. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I'm available after 3:30pm Tuesday through Friday, and completely free all day Saturday through Monday. This makes me a great fit for house sitting, whether it's a quick weekday check-in or a full weekend stay where I can be there around the clock. Since I only offer house sitting, I care for pets entirely in their own home, keeping their routine and environment as consistent as possible. I follow the owner's instructions closely for feeding, medication, and exercise schedules, and I'm comfortable administering medication when needed. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, making sure doors and gates stay secured and pets are never left unsupervised for long stretches.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life and currently have a senior yorkie named Bibi and a cat 🐈⬛ named Salem. I love them very much. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family throughout my life. I look forward to spending time with your fur baby. I’m currently working part time so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m available on weekdays and weekends. I’d love to spend time with your fur baby in between times. I enjoy walking dogs and playing fetch with them and cuddling. As for cats I cuddle with them and keep their litter box spotless. I can also administer oral medications and would like to know if you have any special care instructions.
About: I’ve been a cat person for as long as I can remember! I got my first cat when I was 7, and even though he was a little mean, I loved him dearly, and he was a big part of my life until he passed away when I was 17. I’ve had cats in my life ever since, and I’m very much a proud cat lady. I currently live in a household with five cats and two dogs, so there’s never a shortage of animal personalities around here. Living in a multi-pet household has given me plenty of experience with how different every animal can be and how important it is to respect their individual personalities, boundaries, and routines. I understand that every cat has their own personality. Some are affectionate and want attention all day, while others prefer their own space or need more time to warm up to someone new. I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m a lifelong cat lover (and proud cat lady!) who’s been around cats for as long as I can remember. I have two of my own—both rescues—and they mean the world to me. I’ve been through everything from bottle feeding and socializing a stray kitten to emergency vet visits and post-hospital care, including administering medication, syringe feeding, and round-the-clock monitoring. When my own cat was recently diagnosed with pancreatitis, I didn’t hesitate to do whatever it took to get him the care he needed. That experience only deepened my understanding of how important it is to have someone you can truly trust to care for your cat. I treat every cat I care for with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Cats aren’t just pets—they’re family. I get that, and I show up accordingly I provide drop-in visits tailored to your cat’s needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, or space, I respect their personality and routine. I’m experienced in feeding schedules, litter box upkeep, and administering medication if needed. I also keep an eye on their behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in great hands.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - DeSoto
This was our second time using Dakota’s services, and once again, he took excellent care of our cats, Wyatt and Daisy, while we were out of town. We really appreciated the updates and pictures he sent, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. He even went the extra mile and brought in a package that was delivered while we were away. I highly recommend Dakota to anyone looking for dependable, trustworthy pet care. It’s wonderful to be able to travel knowing your pets are in such good hands!
Amanda took wonderful care of our cats while we were away! She followed every instruction we left with excellent care and paid close attention to the little details, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her check-ins through the app were incredibly thorough, and she kept us well informed each day with thoughtful updates and photos. She was always responsive, responsible, and clearly cared about making sure our pets were happy and comfortable. Best of all, our cats absolutely loved her! We wouldn't hesitate to book Amanda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
