About: I’m very dedicated to learning pet breed personalities and learning about your unique furry friend through intuitive care and patience. I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking, with activities tailored to each pet’s personality, age, and needs. Walks can include plenty of exercise and opportunities to explore, while drop-ins and sitting visits can include playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, cuddles, and lots of attention. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I’m currently working part-time. My schedule allows for flexibility with my time, which will be dedicated to any and all pet care needs. I have a safe smoke-free space where your pet can help themselves to run, play, and rest on a nice soft bed. A home away from home. I can’t wait to meet them!

He was very helpful, easy to communicate with, and made sure we stayed updated every day by sending videos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Scooby was in good hands. Highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover 🙌🏽”
“Kayli did a fantastic job checking on my cat! Her Rover cards were very detailed and she provided great photos! She is the sweetest and went above and beyond throughout her sessions, even watering my plants when she noticed they needed it! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a drop-in pet sitter.”
About: As a dedicated cat lover, I know that cats are most comfortable when their routines, territory, and personal boundaries are respected. Whether your cat is an outgoing socializer who wants immediate playtime or a sensitive soul who needs a quiet presence and time to warm up, I adapt my approach to fit their unique personality. I focus on providing low-stress, highly reliable drop-in visits and care. I understand that subtle changes in a cat's behavior or appetite matter, and I pay close attention to the small details that keep them feeling safe and happy while you are away. I’m currently retired after 27 years as a federal civil servant. I’ll have plenty of time to care for your furry family members and house sitting needs. I am experienced in managing multi-cat dynamics, tracking wellness routines, and creating a calm, predictable environment. I would love to schedule a free meet-and-greet to get to know you and your cats before booking.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for more than 20 years and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and following detailed care instructions. I also have house-sitting experience caring for pets in their own homes, which has taught me how important it is to keep their normal routine consistent while their family is away. I’m dependable, attentive, and I love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are being well cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority throughout the week. I’m available for house sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and weekend care. I enjoy keeping pets on their normal routines and can plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and other care needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow their normal routine and all instructions provided by their pet parent. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other areas are secure, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular photo and message updates so pet parents can feel comfortable while they’re away.

I tailor every visit to match your pet’s unique personality and needs, giving them the same affection and attention they get from you. Being a student means plenty of flexible time for your furry friends! My peak availability starts at 3:00 PM on weekdays, and I’m wide open all day on weekends. I'm ready to onboard and meet your pets whenever you are. Staying active through dog walking and playtime is my favorite part of the job!

Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon!

I have no problems catering to dietary or physical needs l, and am very understanding about almost any circumstances.

So please let me know if you would like someone fun and cool to hang out with your dog. I work as a high school teacher so I am available on nights and weekends, I am able to make exceptions depending ln the circumstances. I care for anyone else’s pet as if they were a member of my own immediate family, ad well ad nuance and individuality (everyone has their own nuances and specific needs).

I have babysat my friends and family dogs, including a pitbull, a golden doodle, a cat, a labrador, a pomeranian, and a disabled terrier. I will take care of them with lots of love & compassion. I can guarantee great on-time care for them. I'm a full-time student in college looking for a part-time job that smoothly fits into my week. Also, creating my own schedule is something that comes in handy on busy school days.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairmount Heights
Emma was punctual, communicative, and wonderful with my three cats. She cleaned the litter and ensured that everything was completed according to the instructions I gave her. My cats were all happy to get their treats and sat on her lap while she was there. I would not hesitate to use her services again!
Thalia was so friendly and very sweet with our dog, Fig! She did a drop by visit ahead of taking care of Fig while we are out of town and had a lot of great questions. She is very knowledgeable about dog care and we are very happy that Fig will have such a good friend while we're away!
I had a wonderful experience with Nicole! She was incredibly responsive, reliable, and caring throughout the entire time she looked after my cats. It was clear that she genuinely cared about their well-being and treated them with so much compassion and patience. Knowing they were in such caring hands gave me great peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!
Carinna was amazing! She was very reliable and communicative. She went above and beyond as a caregiver for our 20+ year old cat, including delivering treats when he couldn't be bothered to use the stairs. Her time here really made for a worry-free vacation, I would definitely recommend her!
Lindsay was great with Mocha today. I'm one of those pet owners that enjoy detailed updates along with photos. She handled Mocha's lil accident in the kitchen without any hesitation was very thoughtful and kind about the situation which is a major plus in my book along with being on time she was even arrived a few mins early!! Highly recommend her services!! Thank you so much Lindsay!!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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 .
