“Shana was fantastic with my dogs. She was very attentive to their behaviors and informed me every step along the way of each visit. She always showed up on time and gave love to each dog. Shana is an excellent sitter for your fur babies.”
About: At the age of 6, I began to regularly foster newborn kittens with my mom along with taking care of cats in general around my town and fell in love with taking care of them and learning about them. I started to get little information books about cats and learn more about their mannerisms, etc. I'm currently a college student who runs a very small crochet business and all of my classes are online so my availability is definitely very open to be able to take care of your furry friend! I have always had a deep connection with animals ever since I was a kid. I grew up homeschooled and something that my mom had me do very young was fostering kittens and taking care of dogs that were lost or didn't have a home. We also would watch this series called, Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan and sometimes I would independently watch episodes of My Cat from Hell on YouTube. Something that I noticed when watching these shows is that the animal is typically never actually misbehaved but instead misunderstood. I feel as if being a good sitter is being empathic to every single animal and listening to their wants and needs and although there is a small language barrier, it is important to know that they are always communicating with us. There are very subtle movements that can portray whether an animal is having fun, hungry, distressed, etc. and that's something that I always try to pay attention to with animals to make sure that they feel safe and content. I believe leading with your intuition is something that you must do and to tell whether an animal wants enrichment or to relax. I will always strive to provide a safe and most comfortable environment for them. Also, I definitely understand the fear of allowing someone to watch your pet (I've definitely felt that way when leaving on vacation for my cats) and I want to give you everything that I expect from a sitter. I will be sure to give photo updates, and respect routines that have been established.
“Emily was so kind and attentive to my cat. She made sure she was well taken care of and recieved plentt of pets! I loved all the cute photos she sent me. I would feel confident leaving my cat in her care in the future. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs!! THANK YOU EMILY!!!”
“I’m so happy that Remy was available again to check on my cat, Harris, while I was out of town. She always offers great communication and attention to detail, and I look forward to using her again, in the future!”
“Jenn was very punctual and followed instructions well. My male cat needs medication, which she easily incorporated into his food. My cats also appreciated the extra pets she gave them.”

About: I am available for in home pet care and house sitting, along with plant care, gardening, yard and pool maintenance. I have not completed any sits through Rover yet, but have been a pet sitter with TrustedHousesitters since 2018 and MindMyHouse since 2022. I am available for short and long term in home pet sits anywhere (but depends on where I’m traveling at that time). I am a snowbird and travel South Nov-April. I live in NE Indiana the rest of the year. If I happen to be in your area and don’t need to stay overnight in your home, I’m open to just stopping by and walking them. Just send me a message and we can figure it out. I’m also flexible with dog size and breed, but probably will decline sitting large breeds if we cannot do a meet and greet or they are not trained. I have sat for many senior pets, puppies, kittens and multiple animals at once. I prefer to sit for small-medium breeds, but will sit for large breeds if there’s only one and they are not difficult to walk. I bring over 30 years of experience in house/pet sitting. I have bonded with so many sweet pets (of all ages, sizes and breeds (please see my 5 star reviews under my photos). I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation, therefore I have no trouble driving up to 16 hours to do a house sit, depending on where I am at the moment. I have extensive experience with gardening, plant care, and yard maintenance. I worked as a florist for 10 years and have always had a garden and eclectic selection of plants of my own. Finally, I love photography and will most likely send you lots of cute photos of your pets. I work remotely five days a week and am able to be around your pets throughout the day to ensure they have the love and attention that they need. I will care for your pet in your home and can stay up to 1-3 months if I’m traveling. If I happen to be in your area and don’t need to stay overnight in your home, I’m open to just stopping by and walking them. Just send me a message and we can figure it out. Please see my reviews from my pet sitting experience via TrustedHousesitters.
“Melissa did a great job with my Sasha & left my home in mint condition. Care instructions were followed to the letter, took lots of photos & left notes on how Sasha was doing. At one point when I checked in on them, I saw Melissa was wiping Sasha‘s eye boogies🥹 I have another trip towards the end of the year, I know exactly who I’ll be booking with. Thanks Melissa! 💐”

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.
