“We left our cat fur family in Brookes care for the week. She did an excellent job of playing, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and sending status updates on our fur family. I would use her again in the future 😺🐾”
About: I foster for the Humane society and other rescues. I know animal first aid. Degree in wildlife Biology. I have two dogs of my own, and one cat. I wake up at 7 and feed and walk everyone. After they are done eating we play or cuddle depending on the pets personality. Kittens and puppies eat lunch. If you want your pet to eat three meals please ask. Evening time around 7-8 is Dinner for everyone. Between these times is when there are short walks and play. I don't have a fenced yard yet. I have two dogs at home. One is a senior shih Tzu that only wants to lay around all day. The other is a Bull terrier that is kept outside or in the garage. He gets along with female dogs only so he will be kept away from most pets. I have a cat that loves everyone including dogs. I keep her claws trimmed just in case. If there is a accident I have quick clot and other first aid available.
“Wonderful person to watch my cat! Followed all of my instructions and my cat, who is very shy, actually came out and started to interact with her by the end of the visit.”
About: I’ve had animals all my life and have been caring for dogs and horses for the past 6 years. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently working toward a career in veterinary medicine, so caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy it’s my passion. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break from college and working a part-time job, so pet sitting is a great way for me to spend more time doing something I truly enjoy caring for animals. My work schedule is Thursday through Saturday, and I’m available after I get off work on those days. I’m also available on my days off and will do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. I believe in keeping pet parents updated and making sure every pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore, as well as three friendly small dogs who are well-socialized and can provide companionship if your pet enjoys being around other dogs. For drop-in visits, I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I’ll always respect your home, carefully follow your pet’s routine, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family and provide the attention, patience, and care they deserve.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my whole life I have been a dog sitter for almost 6 years now I take care all kinds of dogs and cats not age requirement. I currently don't have a job so I'm free mostly during the week other than Wednesday night. Weekends I'm usually busy busy still have to time to check on the dogs or cats if needed. When I walk my dogs I always have good spatial awareness and I'm always carrying pepper spray I also don't walk dogs at night for their safety.
“Bailey did an outstanding job and was very professional over the past couple of weeks taking care of my cat! Anytime there was an issue or she had questions, she was communicative and reliable, so I never had to worry while I was gone. Your fur baby is definitely in safe hands with Bailey!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since I was 16. I am capable of giving medicine, staying overnights, and anything else needed! I love pet sitting, as it connects me with so many new animals I currently work part time at Sally Beauty, but my shifts are usually close to five hours. I will take the necessary time off if needed for your fur babies! I have two big dogs at home, who play safely in a fenced in yard. I keep an eye on them every time they are outside, and sometimes I’ll even sit outside with them when it’s nice out, just like I do with my clients dogs
About: I’ve lived with animals my whole life & I have a sincere love and passion for understanding them. I worked in professional dog-focused petcare for the last 5 years, and managed a facility for 2 of those. I lead all furry friend interactions with my heart. I am a stay at home mom with an infant so we have quite a bit of free time. I like dog walking/drop ins because they allow me to get him out and about while also helping others who aren’t as fortunate to be home with their babies all the time! I worked in petcare for a long time before becoming a mom so I understand no two animals are the same and some are more picky than others. I strive to do for your pet as close to what you would do for them. Your fur-baby’s wishes are my commands!
“Jenna cares for my kitties as if they were her own. She is the ultimate professional. Communicative, dependable and responsible. I highly recommend her to look after your pets when you are in need of a sitter.”
About: I've always been into nature, animals, insects and pets. My grandmother would always joke and say that I should be a Veterinarian when I grow up. Between playing with earth worms, petting any dog I see or spoiling my own pups, I love people and I love their animals and pets. For the past decade, having to care for other's pets never felt like a chore. It remains the foundation of my desire to join Rover. Even after being bitten by an unsuspecting, unpredictable pit bull, I will continue being a dog lover. I have been a pet caregiver since I was a teen. Now that I've discovered Rover, I can take this to the next level. I'm actually late to the Rover party! I currently have open availability as of August 2026. That could be changing to part-time availability soon. I will update my availability as needed. I am devoted to absolute safety and trust. I promise to treat you, your property and furry family members with the same love, attention and care that I would treat my own.
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.
About: I have been pet/house sitting for family and friends for 5 years now. I have worked in childcare(babysitting nannying, etc) for even longer so I consider the transition to be beneficial and seamless. I am a full time student and have a part time afternoon job. This gives me a lot of flexibility to take care of your pets needs throughout the day! I am dependable and will take care of the needs of your pet no matter how specific. I care about making your pet feel as in their normal routine as possible.

Desiree was absolutely amazing! I have never used a pet sitter before and was very stressed prior to meeting her but once I did, I felt completely at ease with leaving my animals in her care. She kept me updated every visit and sent lots of pictures. She asked questions to make sure my animals had the best care possible and she even took care of our trash! I would only feel comfortable leaving them in her care again. Truly a great pet sitter.

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 .
