About: I go above and beyond for every one of my pet owners to make sure their babies are safe, well taken care of, and spoiled!! I have experience with all breeds, of all sizes and ages as well. I do everything I can to make sure your pets are happy and healthy. I also buy treats and toys (specific to your pups needs/wants). I'm currently working full time, from 8:30-3:30. So I will be with your babies in the morning from 6:30 AM to the time I go to work, come back around 3:30-4 PM, stay for a few hours, and then make one more night stop. Or, I just stay if im staying at my pet owners house. I dont do boarding but I am able to bring your babies to my house if need be whike i watch them. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats (2 of which are kittens) that would love to play with them and I have kennels if necessary as well. When at my pet owners house, I like spend quality time with all of the babies, make sure everyone is fed and taken care of and play until all that energy is out!
About: Animals have always been a part of my life, I was raised on a farm, where caring for a wide variety of animals became second nature. That background gives me a strong sense of responsibility and an instinct for understanding each pet’s unique personality. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets and focus on keeping them safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, which means I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins starting at 4:30 PM during the week. I am completely free on weekdays. If you’re looking for more extended care, I also offer house sitting and can often work remotely on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends, allowing me to spend more consistent time with your pets. I aim to be flexible and communicative, so we can find a schedule that works best for both you and your pets’ needs! I tailor my care to each pet and service. In your home, I stick to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free, including feeding, walks, and plenty of attention. In my own home, I provide a safe, calm environment with close supervision and consistent care. I also have personal experience with shy pets, I adopted my cat Athena at 4 months old from the Memphis Animal Shelter. She was very skittish and required a lot of patience, understanding her needs, and respecting her space when she wanted to be left alone. She is now 8 years old and thriving, and that experience has taught me how to read behavior and adjust care to each animal’s comfort level. No matter the setting, my goal is to keep your pet happy, secure, and well cared for!
About: I bathe dogs. Feed daily. Go potty daily. And of course, cuddles daily! I am the pet whisperer. All pets need cuddles I think lol. My schedule mostly stays the same but there might be a day that I have an appointment or a test I need to take for night school! But with that, I always come home and take care of my babies! Treat them as you would treat your own. Everybody is someone’s baby! Feed daily and bathe when needed. Potty more than 3 times a day. And lots of love!
About: I will provide frequent updates. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own. You can expect me to go above and beyond what you ask of me. I am a college student but i will be able to check in between my classes. I am able to stay overnight. And weekends are entirely clear. What ever instructions you leave i will follow. If they like car rides I can take them in my car. I will take them on walks if needed.
About: I’ve had an assortment of pets my whole life, and was a groomer for several years. I’ve worked with pets big and small, from the greatest of Danes and even creepy crawlies! I love working with animals and have nothing to do but snuggle pets in my spare time! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to help accommodate you in any way I can! I want to bring comfort to your pets while you have to be away! As a fur mom of a couple of “Velcro” dogs myself, I know how sad they can be without us! I really love to chat with them while I am there!
About: I’ve had and cared for animals my entire life. I’ve also worked at pet stores and humane societies. There is no better way to spend your time than being surrounded by animals. I care for animals because being a portable pooper scooper and a human chew toy aren’t considered real jobs. Let me know what your needs are and we’ll work together to make sure that your babies are taken care of when you can’t be home with them. I will always show the utmost respect to your pet and your home. This includes cleaning up after myself and your pet during our time together, removing my shoes before entering your home if you would like, and anything else that will make you comfortable with the arrangement.
About: Professionally taken care of various species of animals such as cats, dogs, reptiles, amphibians, birds, rodents, ferrets, and spiders. Exotic animals are my speciality, but caring for domestic animals is where my animal care experience began. I work a full time job as a zookeeper and take care of large exotic animals. I also care for my personal cats and other pets at home. I have polices and procedures for both my cats and exotic animals that help me to better take care of them at home and away from home.
“Absolutely a wonderful experience with Maya. She was incredibly responsive, helpful, and caring. She even managed to get my shy Charlie out from under the bed, which took time and patience. Charlie was in very good hands with Maya. Her willingness to communicate and send pics gave me peace of mind, and I enjoyed my time away. I could not ask for a better cat sitter. I highly recommend her!!!”
About: My volunteer rescue experience has allowed me to gain exposure to many kinds of cats, medical care best practices, and observe cats at many stages of life. I've slept on the bathroom floor with kittens, feeding them from a dropper and weighing them every six hours. I've domesticated feral cats through long-term fostering. My favorite type of cats are senior cats, and I have a lot of experience administering meds and showing them love. I am a graduate student who works remotely most of the time. I'm available during the day and at night every day of the week, especially given enough notice. I take pet (and person!) safety and client trust very seriously! I aim to care for your pet as you would. If you're on vacation, I want your pet to feel like they are being pampered, too. Not only does giving them extra love and attention help them while you're away but (as a cat owner myself), I know it will give you peace of mind as well!
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child. Throughout my life, I have experience with taking care of cats & dogs of all ages. I am highly experienced with simple care of animals, and more detailed care like administering medications, grooming, exercising. Every animal has a different personality, and requires a special kind of attention. I have experience with volunteering with animal shelters as well. I am currently full-time with pet care with an extremely flexible schedule. I am willing to overnight pet sit, check in on your pets throughout the day, and anything/everything in between! I have a lot of experience with animals of various backgrounds (abused shelter dogs, strays, feral cats, and domesticated animals). I am very comfortable with all types of pet care. I am able to feed, bathe, love, exercise, and crate your animal(s). Amongst other pet care. Please feel free to ask me any specific questions that would make you more comfortable, that is what I am here for!
“Kayla did a wonderful job of taking care of our 3 kitties. One of them needed to be given oral meds 2x a day and she handled it with no problem! She kept me updated on how they were doing with pics and texts. I felt very comfortable having her stay in our home as well. She even brought in some fresh flowers that had been delivered and put them in vases so they would stay fresh for my return. I highly recommend Kayla and will definitely use her again in the future!”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.

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 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.
