About: I've been caring for animals in different capacities for at least a year, and being a cat owner myself has shown me how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Our pets are family, and they deserve to be treated with the same love and attention we give them ourselves. I have experience walking dogs, as well as caring for cats with specific needs. Specifically, with my own cat who has kidney disease and eats prescription food. Additionally, I have experience administering medication (through food as well as by syringe). My goal is to provide every pet with compassionate, reliable care while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family members are in good hands. My schedule is currently very flexible for the summer, allowing me to accommodate a variety of booking needs. Before any service, I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine and needs, and ensure we're a great fit. I want you to feel completely comfortable and confident that your pet will be in caring, reliable hands. When your pet is with me, they'll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their needs and personality. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated, so you can expect regular messages, along with adorable photos and videos, to let you know how your furry friend is doing and how their walk or visit is going.
“Harlow was wonderful with Patty and kept me updated on how she was warming up throughout each visit. Her medication and morning meals were replenished, Harlow played with her, gave her cuddles, and even brushed her without being asked to. It gave me such peace of mind to know Patty was being so well taken care of while I was away.”
“Rachel is a wonderful dogwalker! I have a shy rescue chihuahua mix named Benny. Despite typically being slow to open up to new people, he is clearly obsessed with Rachel and has gained a lot of confidence since walking with her and the other dogs. I would recommend Rachel to anyone and hope to continue to have her work with Benny in the future. Thanks Rachel!!”
“Rachelle was such a great sitter - provided lots of photos and did a fantastic job monitoring my anxiety-prone cat. She was so communicative so I never worried. Not only did she take great care of my boy, but also was considerate when it came to cleaning. What a great experience!”
“Shanna did an amazing job caring for my cats while I was away on a much-needed vacation. From our initial meeting, my cats took to her right away, which was such a relief! She was very responsive and shared thoughtful, detailed updates in each Rover card. I genuinely looked forward to reading them after every visit. It was clear she cared for Skylar & Jackson as if they were her own. I was able to feel at ease during my trip because I knew they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience in dog training, beginning with my first dog, a Jack Russell Terrier. Through agility and obedience training with her, I developed a strong understanding of canine behaviour, communication, and structure. I provide long, structured walks tailored to each dog’s individual energy level, temperament, and needs. At the owner’s request, I also incorporate basic obedience training, behaviour correction, and work on specific challenges such as leash pulling, reactivity, or lack of focus. I am attentive, patient, and consistent in my approach, always prioritising safety, mental stimulation, and the overall well-being of every dog in my care. I'm currently free on weekdays and sometimes on weekends too, early mornings and afternoons fits for me. I'm flexible for changes in my schedule and can adjust it to yours as well The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they are in a clean, secure, and calm environment. After walks, I always wipe or wash their paws, and I can bathe them if needed. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, treats, routines, and any special requirements. If medication is required, I administer it responsibly and exactly as directed. I pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour and comfort level to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.
About: I have experience teaching dogs and puppies basic commands such as sit, lie down, stand, and stay, ensuring they develop good behavior and skills to stay obedient. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I like to stay active and constantly move on my feet, walking and running allows me to explore new neighborhoods and areas. This gives me the opportunity to meet different dogs breeds and learn about their unique traits and behaviors. I currently have pets of my own and regularly dog-sit for my sister’s German shepherd mix, ensuring he stays active by walking him four times daily to manage his high energy levels. Additionally, I have experience dog-sitting for my cousin’s pug mix, Louie, typically caring for him for about two weeks at a time. During these periods, I make sure he is bathed and groomed before returning home. Growing up, I owned a dog for approximately eight years, where I developed the essential skills needed to properly care for and manage a pet's well-being.
About: My professional experience with dogs stems from caring for pets with the roles of Pack Leader and Receptionist while I was studying in Wisconsin. All the training I've learned is with the help of Tailwaggers Doggy Daycare. Currently, I'm working PT as a sales associate for Gap Inc., Wednesdays and Saturdays from 4:30pm-9:00pm. I am taking up petcare again to save up for school and possibly secure my own apartment. I have basic training, professional, as well as, personal experience caring for animals, fostering dogs, understanding animal behavior and being sure everyone involved is engaged or observing examples of safe play.
“Harriet did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were out of town! I could tell from the many photos so sent that our cat was in kind, caring, safe hands. Harriet followed the feeding and care instructions to a tee and I think our place was even cleaner than how we left it. We will absolutely be booking Harriet to take care of our cat next time we go out of town, highly recommend!!”
“Meghan was amazing! I was traveling internationally for a week and nervous to leave my fur baby for so long. But to my relief I could tell my cat was SO happy the entire time while being taken care of by Meghan! She sent me tons of photos and videos and sent even more when I requested lol. She was understanding and flexible when I realized I messed up the booking due to the time difference and needed to switch some things last minute. I couldn’t have asked for a better rover sitter! I will be rebooking her everytime I travel moving forward! 100/10!!!”
“Omolayo is such a sweetheart. She’s great with my dog, super communicative and easy going. I always know when she’s with my baby my baby’s gonna be having a GOOD TIME and be well taken care of 💜”
“Chelsea does great with my puppy Ringo! She was able to come last minute ( my daughter called me worried about him when she left for work, she said he was barking and had some separation anxiety! ) By the time I got home, he was a happier puppy after Chelsea’s visit!”
“This was my first time hiring a cat sitter and my experience was absolutely wonderful. Melissa took very good care of my cats when I was away, especially my diabetic baby who I was most concerned about. She followed the instructions I gave her and kept me updated along the way. She was very attentive. I truly appreciate her. I will definitely book her again.”
About: 10+ years of dog handling experience from puppies and small dogs to larger dogs nothing can phase me. I am a calm and assertive person with lots of love and kisses to give to your furbabies!

About: I usually work with shy, aggressive or fearful dogs or cats. It can take weeks, months or years to befriend them but when you do it's extremely rewarding, especially when an animal someone deems "dangerous" comes out to be the biggest sweetheart. I have tons of patience and I believe every species of animal deserves love and respect. As humans, it's our duty to be the voices and guardians of the animals in our care. They look to us for comfort, guidance, love and peace. That's why I do anything in my power to donate or volunteer at animal shelters because every animal should know that there's humans out there that actually care about their well being. Working with animals is a great career for me. Update; 8/2020 I’ve been volunteering and working with pets as a professional pet care provider for five years now. Through my journey I’ve learned pet CPR and gained dog training knowledge through Poochpals llc as well as worked as a dog handler at walterspetstyles. I’m currently working on becoming a certified dog trainer and furthering my knowledge on Pet care. At Poochpals we believe in being a friend for life so I’m definitely bringing our motto into the field and looking to become a furever friend for your pets. If you’re ever in need of an actual PROFESSIONAL pet care provider, look no further! I also have basic training knowledge so don’t be surprised if your pup or cat comes back knowing a few new tricks 😂 I have open availability Monday-Sunday. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! My dog, Odin, loves to make new friends of all species. Updates:4/7/2026 Hello friends! I would not be at 29 Hanford anymore due to instability, so I’m moving my business down to NYC before heading to PA. We have multiple fences in house and around the property. Pups are also supervised 24/7 and we have a designated dog room just for them. Back porch is also secured with gates. Dogs aren’t allowed on the lawn without human supervision and a 20ft leash. Lawn is fenced. We have strict safety procedures when it comes down to pets and children.

Alexandrea is very dependable and prompt. It is obvious that she takes her drop ins very seriously. She plays with Sunny and sends us pictures and videos daily. She waters the plants and keeps Sunny’s areas clean. I am very happy with Alex’s services. Ms. Carole EP
Elise was sooo good!!! She really was super intentional about being Chai’s friend while dropping in twice a week, clearly took care of him, and went out of their way to send plenty of pics! Would highly recommend Elise if you’re looking for drop in care from someone who actually wants to spend time and be friends with your pet rather than a quick in and out.
Giang has been taking care of our cats for quite some time now, and we’ve used her services many times. She has never disappointed us! She’s incredibly reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing our cats are in good hands whenever we’re away. Most importantly, our cats absolutely love her. They’re comfortable and relaxed around her, which says a lot, especially since cats can be very particular about who they trust. Giang always takes great care of them, keeps us updated, and makes sure they get plenty of attention and affection. It’s such a relief to have someone we can trust and come back to every time we need a sitter. We’re very grateful to have found Giang and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring cat sitter!
Kate was so great! I was away for 3 days and they were so on it! They let me know when they got to my apartment, took pictures of my two cats and shared them, and gave really nice updates about how they were doing (food levels, playfulness, etc). Most of all, our cats were happy!! It was only a month after my partner and I got a kitten and our 2 year old cat was still getting used to the little one. Kate’s attention to detail and care put us at ease. Big big recommendation for Kate!! All the stars and thank you Kate!!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
