“Angelina dropped in to meet the kitties and go over their routine. Then she nailed it! She handled medication twice a day, refrigerated food, and they lived having her play with them. Angelina is a great communicator and a fantastic pet sitter.”

About: Hello pet parents! I bring 15 years of deep pet care experience to Rover, rooted in a lifetime of loving animals. I actually grew up on a farm caring for a wide variety of different animals from a young age. This foundational upbringing instilled in me an instinctual understanding of animal behavior and welfare. As an adult dog owner, I experienced the rewards of adopting and completely training an Australian Shepherd and a Border Collie. Raising two incredibly intelligent, high-energy working breeds taught me the absolute necessity of patience, positive reinforcement, and clear structural routines. Today, my Aussie manages hypothyroidism, which means I am deeply familiar with specialized medical care. I am fully accustomed to administering daily medications exactly on schedule and maintaining a carefully balanced exercise routine to keep her healthy and thriving. I am currently an Orthodontic Intern at LECOM School of Dental Medicine. My hours are 8:15AM-11:45AM and 12:45PM-3:45PM. I am available to stop in around the morning, lunch, and afternoon hours. During house sitting or drop-in visits, I seamlessly maintain your pet’s familiar routine while providing engagement and love. I excel at balancing active play, including backyard games and safe, fun trips to local dog parks, with calm, reassuring comfort to ease separation anxiety. I respect your home’s security and rules, maintain total cleanliness, and send photo updates to keep you completely worry free.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ellenton
Baylie is an angel! Cannot say enough good things about her. She stepped in on short notice to care for our cat Clara for 2 weeks. She is reliable, uploaded a ton of photos, and even helped to clean up our home without us asking. She is communicative and considerate, friendly, and the sweetest person. We will be using her forever!
Mykeirah was amazing! Prompt, caring, proactive. It was my first time using rover for a sitter and she certainly set the bar. Kept the cat areas very clean and tidy, made sure they were played with fed, and even left them a little gift. I’m so grateful for her. Thanks Mykeirah! Will hire her again
Jennifer and Rick were wonderful pet sitters! They took great care of all of our pets and kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. They were reliable, kind, and treated our pets like their own. We would definitely recommend them and will happily use them again!
Sandra was so great with my cat Koji!! Even though Koji was at times shy, Sandra gave her lots of attention and love throughout her visits, which definitely helped Koji do better while we were gone. She sent me tons of pics and videos and lots of updates. We had some last minute changes to the booking which Sandra was very accommodating with. I’m also at times an anxious pet mom, and Sandra was always very understanding and reassuring whenever I worried about my cat! She followed all instructions I provided and went above and beyond. I absolutely recommend her!
Our two kitties are friendly but shy of strangers, so we didn't expect much interaction between them and Catherine. Not so; by the second day everyone was the best of friends, Maybe the cats can sense kindness because we believe Catherine went out of her way to be kind to them. She spent time with them and communicated promptly with us while we were gone. We loved what she did for us, and for sure she is our "go-to" person for future pet care.

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.

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 .
