About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, growing up in a home with both dogs and cats since I was a baby. My experience extends across all life stages- from caring for kittens and puppies to providing special care for senior pets, including an older dog my mom rescued who was blind and deaf. I've had the privilege of being involved in every phase of pet care, from the excitement of welcoming a new pet to supporting them through their golden years. I currently have two beloved cats at home and am passionate about giving all animals the love and attention they deserve. In addition to cats and dogs, I’ve also helped care for lizards, rabbits, turtles, and hamsters. My lifelong love for animals and diverse experience make me a compassionate, reliable sitter who truly understands the unique needs of each pet. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and I’m in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which still allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for attentive pet care. Whether it's a quick check-in, a mid-day visit, or extended care, I can easily adjust my day to accommodate your pet's needs. Since my job allows me to work from anywhere with Wi-Fi, I’m able to be available at different times throughout the day. On my in-office days, I can also stop by during my lunch break to let your dog out and spend some time playing with them. This flexibility makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine while ensuring your furry friend gets the care and attention they deserve. I’ll also be back home in the evenings to give them plenty of attention, and I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for-no matter the day of the week! I prioritize the safety and comfort of every pet in my care, adapting my approach based on their individual needs. I ensure that your pet enjoys their time outdoors in a safe, enclosed environment where they can exercise and explore. I also maintain open communication with pet owners by sending lots of pictures of videos, keeping them updated on their pet’s activities and well-being. Rest assured, your furry friend will be treated with the utmost care and respect while in my care!
“Courtney was on time and took good care of my two kiddos. She was flexible when my plans changed and responsive. She sent me updates and pictures helping to make me feel at ease that my two cats were in good care.”

I am a college student at Arizona State University:) I will prioritize safety and comfort by providing a secure, fully fenced backyard for play time. In my home or yours, pets receive constant attention, care, and stress free environment.
“Savannah came to do check-ins for our cat Luger while we were away on vacation. She was wonderful! She was reliable and helpful. She sent messages everyday to give us updates and she made special efforts to befriend Luger during the time. We’re so appreciative of her thoughtful care and would be glad to hire her again. Thank you!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and believe they are part of the family. I will treat your Dog as if it was my own, with great care, compassion and attention, as well as your home. For the last year I took care of a clients home and two pets while he had to be out of the country until he ended up moving there! I’ve taken care of puppies as well as senior pets with major health conditions. I will be with your dogs full time as I am taking courses online for a second degree. I can work days and weekends for visits or in home care/overnights if you’re going to be out of town. Your pets will get lots of attention, walks, love and play time! I take pride in the care and respect for your pets and home as I would my own. Trust and communication are very important to me as well as making you feel comfortable with me taking care of your furry family and home. I will always send pictures with updates so you can see how happy your pups are! ! I LOVE pet photography as you can see from my gallery! ! Also if you need plants watered or mail/packages received that is no problem! I also take pride in cleaning and enjoy doing it (and my clients love that too)!
About: I’m a loving, dependable, and attentive pet caregiver who truly treats every pet like family. I understand that leaving your furry babies with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs, whether they’re a playful puppy, an energetic dog, or a sweet senior who needs a little extra patience and care. I’m also happy to provide lots of playtime, walks, cuddles, feeding, potty breaks, medication reminders, and plenty of updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and schedule. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, comfortable environment with plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and supervision. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and daily routines. I also love sending regular updates and photos so pet parents can relax knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve had and lived with my dog Rocky(shitzhu poodle mix, shipoo!) for the last 15 years, taking care of him and walking him multiple times every day, and have built an innate love for all dogs and animals of all kinds. I have a very open schedule with my classes at ASU, and would love to drop in to help walk or take care of your pets when you need it! For the last couple years, I have walked my neighbors and friends dogs many times as an unofficial side gig, and I’m looking to get more on the map! Hope to hear from you and your awesome pets 😎 I have a couple classes that I am finishing at ASU in Mesa, but am totally free all day every days except Thursdays and Saturdays! Fridays aren’t listed as open for me but they could work just message me about availability! I usually work weekends so that’s why those aren’t as open. I can readily walk, play with, feed, crate, care for and hang out with your pets however you may need me to! I love animals of all types and they seem to get along great with me too!!
“Shannon went above and beyond for our fearful reactive pitbull. She did a free meet and greet prior and the fact that he had bit someone previously during a recent storm did not scare her. Our dog ended up loving her - she was so patient and gave us great updates and did exactly what we asked each time she came over. Would 10/10 recommend! Super calming presence with large dogs.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for years. I started pet sitting in high school and have continued through young adulthood, caring for around 50 dogs in my community. Families rely on me because I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each dog’s routine and personality. I make sure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a recent grad, with a full time work schedule, I’m able to provide walks, playtime, check-ins, and extended stays to make sure your pet gets consistent attention and care. My home has a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time if boarding is needed. I do live with roommates, so I'm unable to offer boarding at my person home. When possible, I prefer caring for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable and secure. I focus on maintaining routines, minimizing stress, and creating a safe, calm environment.
About: Dogs have always been part of my everyday life, and I’ve cared for pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities. In high school, I fostered litters of puppies, learning how to handle the energy, training needs, and routines of very young dogs. I’ve also spent plenty of time with senior dogs who move at a slower pace and appreciate extra patience and comfort. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or just being a snuggle buddy, I love giving dogs the attention and activity they thrive on. I know how much they mean to their families, and I care for every dog as if they were my own. As a student athlete with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. My school is online, and I’m only occupied for a few hours each day with training, leaving me free to spend lots of quality time with your pets. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I love including pets in my daily routine—whether that’s walks, playtime, or even car rides for dogs who enjoy them. I live in a pet-friendly apartment building with elevators, making it easy and safe for all dogs, including seniors or those with mobility needs. I also have quick access to a nearby park for daily walks and playtime. Inside, your pet will be welcomed into a calm, caring environment where I make sure they feel comfortable and secure. I can crate your dog if needed, and I understand the importance of keeping their routine consistent and stress-free so I am always sure to follow instructions attentively.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fort McDowell
Sibel has watched out kitties for several years when we go out of town and she has always been wonderful. This last trip, our kitty who was 18 years old was not doing well and actually passed away while we were gone. There are no words to thank Sibel for the compassion and care she showed for both our cat and for us. She is truly a lovely human and wonderful animal lover.

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.

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.
