I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day.

Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new requires confidence, and I want you to feel completely comfortable. I provide reliable, responsible care, follow your instructions carefully, and always treat your pet with patience, kindness, and respect. Your pet’s well-being and happiness will always come first.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to each animal. I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and focused on creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. My goal isn’t just to watch your pet, it’s to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for until you return. I’m currently in the military but I don’t work many hours due to being postpartum! You won’t have to worry about you pet not getting enough attention or being crated! I provide care based on each pet’s individual routine and needs, whether I’m caring for them in my home or in the client’s home. I make sure they receive their regular feeding schedule, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I closely monitor their behavior and well-being, administer medications if needed, and maintain a clean, safe environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I work to keep their routine as normal as possible to reduce stress and help them feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I also provide updates, photos, and communication so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My priority is ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for, just as they would with their own family.
“Hannah was amazing and took great care of our girl. Dixie is skeptical of strangers but it did not take long for her to warm up to Hannah. It snowed while we were away and Hannah wiped Dixie’s paws so our floors weren’t a mess. She even offered to vacuum Dixie’s hair from all the shedding she’s doing. Hannah was thoughtful and went above and beyond what I asked of her. If you are looking for someone who is reliable and who would take care of your fur baby like their own, Hannah is your person! I highly recommend her services and will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“I am definitely a worry wort cat mom and Michelle was the first person I really felt comfortable with having check on our cat Taco. From the meet and greet I felt completely comfortable with her and she did an amazing job checking in on him during drop in visits. I couldn't ask for anyone better to trust with our pet and will absolutely book Michelle for any future car sitting needs. 10 out of 10 Can't say enough good things!”
“Cami did a great job taking care of our two Soft Coated Wheatens while we were on vacation. She’s an excellent communicator, punctual, and truly cared for their well being. We recommend her to the Rover community and will definitely hire her to watch our fur babies again.”

About: I am a female that is not new to good ol' quality work! I have had dogs my whole life and had my last "partner in crime" for 16 years. I have had all kinds of different dogs from a macho weiner dog to a gentle great dane. Size does not matter when it comes to taking great care of your furry family member! I also had a Golden retriever that had thyroid issues and had to take medications daily, so i am comfortable with administrating meds if necessary. I am a fun loving adventurous person that would love to take the time to walk or hang out with your pet. I do strongly believe that our pets are part of the family and will treat your's as apart of MY family! I am trying to build my clientele and do my dream job of working with pets. I am open all times during the daytime weekday hours to play with your furry baby. I care for my pets at home with lots of love and patience. I have a pitbull terrier and a weiner dog. Both that I rescued.
About: My family and I use to foster puppies all the time when I was little. We also always had our family husky lab dog. I now have my own Husky who will be carried for at home while I care for yours. have been in the dog sitting business for so long with just friends and neighbors. But I ended up getting this one gig where the lady herself boarded dogs and no joke she had at least 6 dogs one time when she asked me to stay overnight. All had different food and some medication. There were 2 chichas downstairs together. and the other 4 were left lose to sleep with me. I'm looking for jobs now, so I'm pretty open on schedule. So please feel free reach out with the time you want for your animals. I live in a house with 2 other dogs for my Husky to play with. Which I will leave my dog there when im out looking after others, as she has a loving little tribe at home with my roomates and her dog friends. I'm use to my husky needing run alot and having alot of energy so nothing is new for me in that department of dogs. If needed to live in with the dog, then I will fully move in for that time frame so the dog isn't lonely. I love play tug of war and ball with dogs and some cats even have played fetch for me. I love getting cuddles from little furry pets and giving them the love and attention they deserve.
About: I have two daughters who love our cat and dog. Both pets are great with other animals. I have a fenced yard for dogs to run around and I am able to walk them as they may need. My dog, Draper, is a small breed and loves to hang out with the humans, but also loves to run around in the back. We have plenty of dog toys but feel free to bring any, also anything like a blanket to make your pet feel more at home. The same goes with treats. I will always ask before giving any pet our food or treat. Your pet will be right at home and will not be treated any different from our own. Anything you would like to know just ask. I have a dog and cat of my own, your pup will be treated like they are part of the family. The weekends we go on hikes, your pup will come along if that is ok with you, during the week I can walk mornings and evenings. I have a fenced yard, which allows for dogs to have a safe place to play and let some energy out. They will have Draper (dog host) who loves to chase around the backyard.

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.

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.
