About: I’ve had pets my whole life and currently have one dog and two cats. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, kittens, high-energy pets, laid-back pets, and seniors who may need extra patience or medication support. I treat every pet like family and tailor care to their personality and routine. Because I have pets of my own, I believe in slow, supervised introductions and a grace period for animals to get comfortable. I never rush interactions—your pet’s safety and comfort come first. Family and friends rely on me to care for their pets whenever they go out of town. I work as a contractor and am usually at my home office. My other office is close by, so if I need to leave, it will only be for a very short period. I’m very flexible with my time and can provide frequent attention, potty breaks, and supervision throughout the day. Our dog gets two walks daily—one early in the morning and one in the evening—and I can adapt that routine to your pet’s needs. I try to stay very aware of the temperature on which they walk as well. I can also administer medications when clear instructions are provided. I care for pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Dogs have frequent supervised potty breaks and backyard playtime, along with walks, play, and plenty of companionship. Pets also have a comfortable, quiet room available if they need a break from noise, activity, and the evil vacuum. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and adjust care based on their age, energy level, and comfort.

“What a wonderful experience! Kristin Lynn always takes such good care of my cat and sends great photos. She’s communicative and super punctual, and I know my cat is safe with her. He even gets on her lap which is something that usually takes a while for him! Would recommend without hesitation.”
“At the prospect of leaving our 3 fur babies, I was anxious to say the least. Upon meeting Jen, a genuine loving soul, my worries diminished to a dramatic degree. The 8 days we were away she kept in constant contact with us, sending photos and updates regarding her visits. I consider ourselves so lucky to have met her in this loud chaos that is this world. Would not hesitate to leave our babies with her in the future.”
“We were blessed to have found Paulina when moving back and she has been a dream to work with! Charlie (cat) loves her and I could not be more pleased with her services and dependability! I would look no further…”
About: I have worked as a kennel tech for dog daycare and took care of multiple dogs with different personalities. I’ve also pet sat cats and dogs for family friends. I typically work 4-5 days a week and work to integrate your pet needs into my schedule so that they’re taken care of while you’re away At a clients home I like to go over any safety precautions and routines so I can stick to what your pet is familiar with while I’m there.
“This was my first time leaving my kitty alone and he made me feel so comfortable! I was updated regularity with pictures, his communication was great, and he was able to give my baby medicine no problem. I also came home to a clean house after he house sat. Communication was great and I will definitely rebook next time I need a sitter!”
About: Dog lover who has raised and fostered puppies, plus hands-on experience with Shelties, Border Collies, and Pitties. I get the whole range - potty training, crate training, chewing phase, and socialization for puppies, plus brain games for herding breeds and big cuddles for pitties. I do frequent potty breaks, structured walks, enrichment, feeding, meds, and lots of photo updates. Comfortable with high energy, barkers, shy pups, and strong love bugs. Your dog gets their routine kept and a tired, happy brain. I have open availability 7 days a week for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute requests are all good with me. Puppies and kittens welcome for multiple visits a day. In your home I follow your exact routine so your pets feel safe and your home is respected. For dogs I do on-leash walks with a secure harness, poop bags and water, sniff walks for enrichment, feeding on schedule, crate time as instructed, play, and clean up. I avoid retractable leashes and dog parks unless you approve, I wipe paws, and I secure your home when I leave. For cats and kittens I do fresh food and water, scoop and clean litter boxes, play and enrichment, brushing if needed, and meds or eye drops if needed. For bottle babies and young kittens I follow your feeding chart, keep them warm, and clean them up. I keep cat and dog areas separate if needed, I never let cats outside unless you approve, and I keep everything tidy. You get an update after every visit with photos, what they ate, potty and litter details, and how they played and rested.
“Thank you, Victoria, for taking good care of our kitties! It was comforting to receive the daily reports on them, knowing they were okay since they can get into trouble on their own. And I know it wasn’t easy to capture photos of our shy cats so I really appreciate that you found their hiding spots and shared daily photos!”
“Crysta was AMAZING!! I had a unique request: help me get my three dogs to my wedding. Our dogs are a very big part of our lives and we knew our wedding wouldn’t be complete without them. We’ve always dreamed that at our wedding we would be surrounded by our family and friends and our dogs are the most important members of our family. Crysta made our wedding complete! She stepped in when no one else could and accepted the request without hesitation. I scheduled a meet and greet just to make sure she got to meet them first and we talked through our wedding timeline. I asked Crysta to be at our Airbnb for 4 pm, let them have a quick potty break, and take them about 15 minutes down the road to our venue, wait while we take some family photos with the pups, then bring them back to our Airbnb. Let me tell you, she exceeded my expectations TREMENDOUSLY!! She arrived out our house around 3:30, let them have a longer potty break than I asked for, and made it to my venue ONE WHOLE HOUR before the wedding started. She went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were cared for and got to and from the venue safely. I’m not from Destin, I was just in town for the wedding from Houston, but whenever I am back in town and need help with our dogs, she will be the FIRST person I call. She was so kind and friendly and she treated our dogs like they were her own. Words cannot describe how happy I am that I found Crysta. I think my dogs were just as happy, they loved her!! She sent me some cute pics too. Thank you so much Crysta!! You made our dream come true! ♥️”

Jenn is the absolute best!!! Her communication is top notch and she is always quick to let me know when something is up. Had a few household issues while I was gone and Jenn stepped right in to help while she was here. She goes above and beyond always and I couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving my fur baby with anyone else. Sooo appreciate the live and care you give Bikkes!!! Thanks for EVERYTHING!!

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. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
