About: I am currently a college student studying zoo and wildlife biology, and I hope to have a career in either wildlife rehabilitation or working at a zoo. I have a good amount of experience with animals; I have been around animals my whole life, my grandfather was a veterinarian, and I have been pet sitting since high school. I also worked as a kennel attendant at Augusta Valley Animal Hospital. I have volunteered at the Humane Society and at the SPCA as well, walking dogs and performing other tasks. I’m currently a full time college student, but have some breaks during the day and am free in the evening/night. My availability depends on the day, but just reach out and I’ll let you know! I live in an apartment complex so I would not be able to have your dog stay at my house. However, it is a really nice and quiet neighborhood perfect for walks (short or long)!
“You said: After having pet sitters some good and some okay. It has made a little stressful for me entrusting someone with my babies over the holidays even for a couple days, feel mom guilt for leaving them. Having Angela come even after the first meeting felt so relieved she put me at ease and was so understanding, reassuring having own cats just had a calming presence that I really appreciated. She was very communicative regarding when coming, letting me know if going to be late even came a little early one time. Really meant alot to me to know that they were okay/taken care of been alot of personal things going on in my family this year so was just really nice to know that someone was there for them while I was gone just felt like she went above and beyond what I asked. Definately would recomend and hire again :) so if you are a first time pet mom or just looking for a trustworthy pet sitter who cares for animals she watches, great communication skills and following directions, look no further highly recomend Angela :) ChatGPT said: Here’s a polished, warm, and professional version that keeps your heart in it while flowing a bit more smoothly. I kept the tone genuine and appreciative, just tightened wording and clarity: After having a few pet sitters—some great and some just okay—I’ve realized how stressful it can be to entrust someone with your babies, especially over the holidays, even if it’s only for a couple of days. I definitely felt that pet-mom guilt about leaving them. From the very first meeting, Angela immediately put me at ease. She was so understanding and reassuring, and having cats of her own, she brought a calm and comforting presence that I truly appreciated. She was extremely communicative—letting me know when she was arriving, giving updates if she was running late, and even arriving a little early one time. That level of communication meant so much to me. Knowing my babies were safe and well cared for brought me such peace of mind, especially during a year with a lot of personal family stress. It was incredibly comforting to know someone was there for them while I was away. Angela truly went above and beyond what I asked, and I’m so grateful for the care she provided. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely hire her again. If you’re a first-time pet parent or simply looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter with great communication skills who follows directions and genuinely loves animals—look no further. I highly recommend Angela! 🐾💛 If you want it shorter (for Rover, Google, or Yelp) or more emotional vs. more professional, I can tailor it to the platform you’re posting on. You said: Reword for a review ChatGPT said: Here’s a concise, polished review version that still feels genuine and heartfelt: After having a mix of good and okay pet sitters, I’ve realized how stressful it can be to trust someone with your pets—especially over the holidays. From our first meeting, Angela immediately put me at ease. Her calm presence, understanding nature, and experience as a cat owner made me feel confident leaving my babies in her care. Angela was extremely communicative, always letting me know when she was coming, updating me if she was running late, and even arriving early once. With a lot of personal family things going on this year, it meant so much to know my pets were safe, cared for, and checked on regularly. She truly went above and beyond what I asked. I would absolutely recommend and hire Angela again. If you’re a first-time pet parent or looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter with great communication skills, Angela is wonderful. Highly recommend!”
“Ariane did great! Our kitties loved her, even our shy boy. She was very communicative and helpful when the naughty one made a mess. I would definitely recommend her for your pet needs!!”
“Mia took great care of our cat Olive while we were gone on a trip! She was careful to follow the care instructions we had and went above and beyond to give Olive great care! She gave us detailed updates including photos after every visit which we loved and looked forward to! While Olive was in her care Mia was attentive to details and let us know of anything we needed to know while we were gone. Would definitely recommend!”
About: Hi! I have taken care of pets my whole life. I have a lot of experience with all animals with all different kinds of needs. I currently work 6am-3pm on Monday through Friday. I am able to come by and/or sit after work. I am available on weekends full time! I have an unfenced yard but it’s big and great for running around and play time! I have my own dog to either keep yours company or can stay with my sister to ensure the comfort of your pup!
About: I’ve had my own dogs since I was a kid, I’ve worked at a dog groomers, and I currently work at a doggy daycare I currently work part time, intern, and do school at CVCC. My schedule is pretty open especially Monday-Wednesday after 2. I am very flexible with making plans. I love dogs and would be happy to get to know your babies. I have a clean record and have been around them all my life.
“Heather was an excellent sitter for my three cats — Prince Mittens, Sunny Sunshine, and Midnight Moon. Her calm, gentle demeanor made a big difference for Sunny and Midnight, who can be shy, and she was patient, letting them warm up at their own pace. She communicated clearly, sent updates and photos, and even made time for a live video call so I could see and talk to my fur babies. She also did a great job house-sitting, leaving everything clean and in perfect shape. I would absolutely book Heather again without hesitation — she’s calm, reliable, and truly cares for your pets, and I highly recommend her to anyone with shy or sensitive cats.”
About: Hi, I’m the proud pet auntie to all my friends, neighbors, and anyone else who trusts me with their furry family members! 🐾 I’ve been caring for pets—and even looking after homes—while people are away for nearly 20 years. I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality, routines, and favorite ways to be spoiled. When you’re away, why not let your pets stay comfortable in the place they know best? I offer loving, dependable in-home pet and house care so your pets can stick to their normal routines while you travel, work, or simply need an extra hand. Think of it as having a trusted pet auntie who treats your home and your animals like her own. ❤️🐶🐱 Let me take the worry out of being away so you can enjoy your time knowing your pets are loved, cared for, and getting plenty of attention! I do work full-time with a very flexible schedule. Two days a week I am teaching at a local university in the evenings. With a flexible schedule I can work from home easily to provide more love and care to your loved ones. I cater to the needs of the pet! Whatever their typical routine is, I try to incorporate that while I am providing care for them in their home.
“We and our kitties are SOOO blessed each time we get to have Laura take care of them. They love her so much. They are very, very elderly and fragile, but she knows exactly how to handle them with love, gentness and skill. When we see them after she has cared for them they are always extra peppy and in beautiful condition. I can tell they love her so much that they want her to stay and they accuse me of hiding her from them. I can’t say enough that we are so thankful. This last time we booked her, I forgot something extremely important but she anticipated it simply because she thinks about what they need and cares so much about how they feel. What a wonderful person and we are just so thankful for her!”
“John stayed the day with our two dogs. It was our first time using him, so he was kind enough to come meet the pups a couple days prior to sitting them - to make sure it was a good fit. The dogs immediately liked him & approved! He arrived on time, sent pictures during the day, and was very polite. I plan to use him again :-)”
“Carsyn was absolutely wonderful! She is attentive, reliable, and so good with animals that my cat was giving her the cuddles every day. She even did some tasks around the house that she didn’t have to do, going above and beyond everything I hoped for in a pet sitter. I will 100% be calling her first any time I travel in the future!”
About: Hi! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15 and caring for family pets since I was little. I’ve always loved giving special attention to pets and getting to know their personalities. My family dog is in his senior years and we’ve taken great care of his specific needs, always making sure he’s not in pain and receives the love he deserves. I’ve been around animals of all sizes. I'm a dependable and caring animal lover. While I'm new to Rover, I've spent years around pets and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I'm active, attentive, and committed to making sure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog's needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or a slower pace, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I believe pet parents should feel at ease about how their pets are being taken care of. Regular updates, photos, and communication are an essential part of pet care. I understand that every pet is part of the family, and I'll treat your pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend! I’m currently working part-time and I have a loose routine which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your furry family members! It’s important for me to keep to the schedules and familiarity of a pets’ routine and make a visit as stress free as possible. Being aware of surroundings on walks and ensuring safety for a pet is a top priority, which builds their trust and leads to more enjoyable play time. Paying attention their behavior and small signs of discomfort reassures owners that I care for their animals in the same way they would.
About: I stand out because I combine years of hands‑on pet care with formal training in progress. At home I care for a playful 9‑month‑old pup, a tiny 18‑year‑old chihuahua, plus beetles and bearded dragons—so I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and delicate seniors, as well as exotic pets. My dedication to animals has led me to pursue a future in the pet care service field. I have earned many certificates for animal care such as certification for Working with Dogs and Pet First Aid / CPR. I’m available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. -5 p.m. for dog walks, and during those hours I’m fully devoted to caring for your pets. While I balance family life with a child at home, pet care is truly part of my everyday routine—24/7 with my own animals—so giving reliable, loving attention to yours fits naturally into my schedule. I am a very “by the book” person who values safety, respect, and trust above all else. If I enter a client’s home, I make sure to only do what I am hired to do, treating both your pets and your space with the utmost care. My years of experience as a housekeeper taught me how important it is to be trustworthy and respectful of others’ belongings, and I carry those same standards into pet care. Loving animals is one of my core morals, and I would never jeopardize my family, my work, or your trust.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Forest
I was very grateful to Serenity and Daniel for being available to look after Spud at short notice. My cat can be a little shy at first, but he came out to say Hi to Serenity. I felt that he was happy with her and that put my mind completely at ease. Serenity followed all my instructions and sent me photos of Spud. I would definitely use her again in the future, and I can highly recommend her to anyone else who is seeking care for their cat.
Abigail was so wonderful with my cat. I am a first time cat mom. This was also my first time leaving my baby for a period of time. Abigail put my worries at ease. She gave me updates, and my baby looked very happy. She will be my first choice next time I need a 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 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
