“Brianna did a good job checking on my two kitties. They are not very sociable and would not give her a chance to pet on them, but she stayed the full amount of time I asked her to and tried to give them some companionship. Their food and water bowls were clean as was the litter box.”
About: I have a degree in Animal Science and have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals—not just dogs and cats. I regularly house sit for families with dogs, cats, horses, pigs, ducks, cows, and chickens, so I’m very comfortable managing different care routines and environments. I have experience with puppies, including basic training, leash walking, crate routines, and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may need medications, mobility support, or extra patience and attention. My education allows me to recognize changes in behavior, health, and comfort levels, and I take a calm, knowledgeable approach to animal care. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to following each owner’s instructions closely. Above all, I genuinely love animals of all kinds and care for every pet as if they were my own. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets I care for. I’m also currently saving money for a big trip at the end of the year, so I have lots of availability and am happy to dedicate my time to giving your pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Because of this schedule, I’m able to accommodate regular potty breaks, walks, feedings, medications, and check-ins and adjust my routine to match each pet’s needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I intentionally plan my days around the animals I’m caring for. I truly enjoy spending time with the animals I care for. Pet sitting isn’t just a responsibility for me—it’s something I genuinely look forward to. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and building trust with them, whether that’s through playtime, walks, quiet companionship, or barn chores. The time I get to spend with them is one of the best parts of what I do, and I treat every pet with patience, affection, and respect.
“Emily did a great job! The photos she sent me when I was out of town demonstrated that my cats were relaxed and happy. She even got a picture of my very skittish kitty sitting on a rug and that was a major accomplishment! Everyone was well taken care of while I was out of town. I highly recommend Emily and I will use her the next time I’m out of town.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was around 12. From feeding neighbors chickens while they were away, to staying in families houses to look after their puppies while they’re away, I’ve experienced a wide range of pet care. As the owner of an elderly cat, I am very gentle and calm, perfect for elderly pets or any sweeties that require a low stress environment. However, as the owner of a golden retriever, I know how to keep the excited ones entertained! I am a full time college student, and have a few classes everyday— no more than 3 a day and they are no longer than 2 hours at a time. I’m free in the mornings and evenings for whatever is needed! My yard is fenced, though there is an in ground pool, so I would not leave any pets unattended outside. I could crate dogs if needed. I have a friendly golden retriever to keep your babies company. I also have two cats who are sweet and mind their business. As far as in a clients home, I am very respectful of all house rules and follow any instructions given closely.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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. 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Meet & Greet .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
