“Rebecca is awesome! She is very communicative, pays great attention to details, and super sweet too. This is our second time booking with her and it’s been a blessing to have someone we trust and feel comfortable with watching our cats while we are out of town.

“Absolutely loved Ivy as a sitter for Matteo. So communicative, clear, and followed every instruction to the book. She also was able to give Matteo so much attention that he warmed up to her quick. Would love to have Ivy back to care for Matteo.”
About: Any specific routine needed is okay with me. I trained my own dog (Jerry) and have cared for others pets but I have no official experience. My goal is to become a trainer. Any time works pretty much for house sitting, I've got plenty of time to spend with pets. Dog walks anytime same day and cancellations too Honesty is key. I understand house sitting can feel invasive so I will try my best to counteract that. I love walking and dogs so doing both at the same time will be awesome, but I will walk them safely.

About: I've had a deep love for animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience with both dogs and cats. I have my own dog who has been my everything for 14 years now. I have also volunteered for Petco’s Love Cat Adoption Program, which included feeding, cleaning their area, and socializing with various types of cats. In addition, I regularly take care of my neighbors’ cats. I grew up with horses and was a horseback rider for a decade, so I learned from an early age the importance of patience and responsibility that comes with caring for animals. I believe every animal deserves love, safety, and care. I’m happy to visit your dog or cat based on their routine and needs. I will gladly send you pictures and updates of your beloved pet. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I am happy to play, pet, cuddle with your pet, and will treat your pet like my own. I am available most days of the week, so I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine. With my flexible schedule, I can provide dependable, attentive care, companionship, and, of course, lots of love and cuddles. I provide personalized care by following your pet's routine, keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment, and making their transition into my care as smooth and natural as possible. I will follow your instructions closely while taking the time to understand your pet's needs, preferences, and personality. Whether it's playing with their favorite toy, going on walks, or simply providing companionship, I'm happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. In addition, being welcomed into your home is something I view as a major responsibility and take very seriously. While you are away, I will always treat your home with the utmost respect.
“Just got home and we were received by healthy happy dogs and cat. Brianna did a wonderful job of taking care of our three furry babies. She followed their/our routine down to the last word. Very efficient but mostly kind and patient with our furry babies. Definitely would book with her again. 5 stars all the way.”

“Allen was great! We were looking for someone to drop on on our dog while we were out all day. He arrived exactly when scheduled and took care of her and spent some quality time with her. The photos were great - seeing her play and getting fed made a big difference. Knowing that our dog was being cared for while we were out for a long day helped us enjoy the day. Highly recommend Allen :)”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Haleigh was absolutely wonderful! She came to my home while I was out of town to check on my two cats and my dog, and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable having her there. She made sure all of my pets were fed and taken care of, and she even cleaned up the messes they made while I was gone. 🐶🐱🐱 It gave me such peace of mind knowing my fur babies and my home were in good hands. Haleigh was dependable, caring, and respectful of my home. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable to care for their pets! ❤️”
“Andrea is a warm, confident and completely trustworthy sitter. Our cat Zorro took to her straight away, and before long had timed his day to be home for her visits. Andrea sent us regular pics and little movies so we felt connected with our cat and his wellbeing the whole time we were away. We were out of town for a whole month and arrived home to a healthy and happy kitty who had received a lot of love. I highly recommend Andrea and we will certainly rebook her the next time we are out of town! Thank you so much Andrea!”
About: 23 years of experience, but dogs have always been a part of my life. Family I'd visit growing up and still visit have had 10 dogs featuring 8 different breeds, from Chihuahuas to Pitbulls. I've raised and basic-trained 3 puppy rescues since 2001, saw 2 of them to seniority (Chihuahua and Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix), and raised the most recent (Pug) until 2024 when I blessed close family members with her because they have a huge yard she adores and want her to be happy. I can't wait to fill this place with the vibrant energy only dogs can give! We can talk price adjustment after the first booking 😉❤️ I'm currently in between jobs so I'd be able to give your furbaby all the attention they need. I just need a day's heads up to get a few things sorted and we're all set! Your place or my place? I can go either way! This townhome has a patio your furbaby can sunbathe in with a breeze and shade, or we can keep them inside nice and cool/warm if the weather isn't friendly. If they're less adventurous, I can keep them company at your place where they'd feel more at home.
“Angie is very sweet and quickly made my clingy cat comfortable. She made the extra effort to spend time with him so that he wouldn’t be lonely and even monitored his diet as the vet said he was a little overweight. Her responses to messages were timely and she sent pictures whenever I asked. She also got my mail, kept my plants alive and was very accommodating when my garage door acted up while I was away. This is not the first time she has done housesitting for me and I will happily continue booking her services.”

Anika was great at communicating and I could tell she developed a fun & loving relationship with all the cats. She got to know their personalities quickly and how to interact with each of them. We were gone for our wedding and I was happy to not worry at all about the cats while we were gone, I could tell Anika really cared about them and we were able to relax on our wedding day knowing they were in good hands.

This was my first time using Rover so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Cleo was great to work with. She was super responsive and attentive to my cat. My Goldie typically doesn’t like people. She hides. I love that she provides pictures. Goldie didn’t hide and watched Cleo. That’s really a good start. This service was easy to use and I will definitely use Cleo again.
Karla was incredibly kind, attentive, and went above and beyond while caring for my cat. My cat absolutely loved her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was very responsive, paid close attention to detail, and kept me updated throughout my vacation, which really helped ease my worries. I truly appreciated the level of care and compassion she showed. I’m looking forward to rebooking with her in the future!
This was my 2nd time booking Hailee & she went above and beyond! When she arrived at my house, one of the smoke detectors was going off and she made sure the house was safe before leaving my pets at home alone. She was calm and professional in dealing with me and that unexpected situation. She takes wonderful pictures and truly seems to care about my pets. I recommend her highly!
Rebecca is awesome! She is very communicative, pays great attention to details, and super sweet too. This is our second time booking with her and it’s been a blessing to have someone we trust and feel comfortable with watching our cats while we are out of town. I would book her more often but I only really go away once a year. She is the first person I’d think of if I need a sitter for any of my cats or dogs.

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.

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 .
