“Emilie was amazing with my pups! 🐶💕 She took such great care of them and made sure to spend time playing with them and giving them lots of attention. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly great with dogs. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her! 🐾”

About: I’ve never really known life without pets. Dogs and cats have been part of my household since I was a toddler. I've cared for a pretty wide range of personalities, breeds, ages, and energy levels.. I’ve also provided occasional pet sitting for friends and family, including walks, feeding routines, and basic grooming, and overnight care. I currently have two cats of my own, who are frequently spoiled. So I am also well-versed in cat care. In the past I’ve owned several other cats and dogs, including a Jack Russell Terrier, a Black Lab Retriever, and a Coonhound. I am conscientious about the pets in my care. I take the time to get to know the animals and follow their normal routine as much as possible. I can happily provide energetic walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. Whatever their particular needs and quirks, I will be attentive and affectionate with your pets while you are away. I am currently currently working from home part-time. My schedule is usually flexible, so I can accommodate the specific needs of your pets. I look forward to talking with you. I am very communicative with my clients. I want to you to be confident that your pet will be well cared for. I strictly follow my clients’ instructions and can send pictures and updates as often as requested.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the level of personalized care and attention I give to every pet. I understand that each animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who need patience, consistency, and basic training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who require extra attention, medication administration, and gentle care. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining feeding and exercise schedules, and providing regular updates with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is not just to watch your pet, but to build trust with them and create a positive, stress-free experience. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the affection, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m currently active duty Navy and will be available in the afternoons and evenings on weekdays and available all day during the weekends. Excluding every 6th day for the Navy feel free to reach out for availability. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will follow their routine closely to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I make safety my top priority by keeping a clean environment, ensuring doors and gates are secure, and providing plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I treat every home and pet with respect and care, and I keep owners updated so they can feel confident while they are away.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was young girl. I also have worked as a Veterinary Technician on Langley Air Force Base. I enjoy pet sitting all kinds of animals, especially dogs and cats. I am retired and involved in some weekly activities, so pet sitting fits perfectly with my schedule. I enjoy the freedom and flexibility of pet sitting, not to mention the joy of being around pets. I am attentive, detail oriented and versatile. I believe in leaving things the way I found them, or better. I always strife to do my best at whatever I do, and I am a very trustworthy person.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals, specifically family pets, since I was a young girl! I currently have a kitten of my own named Astra. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. My patience runs deep with shy or nervous pets. However, I do thoroughly enjoy playing with both cats and dogs! If they need to cuddle, go on walks, or just need a little attention, count me in! My experience as a teacher makes me responsible, dependable, and very attentive to routines and instructions. With me, I hope you can feel confident that your pet will be genuinely cared for while you’re away! I work as a teacher during the week, so I’m primarily available for pet care on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I can also accommodate some weekday evenings depending on the location and my work schedule. On weekends, I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and spending quality time with your pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, litter boxes, routines, and household rules. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will make sure your pet has a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

Just so thankful for the way Laurelyn treats our senior cat like he is her own. She is honestly The Best! She provides in-depth updates (with humor) and always goes above and beyond. It’s such a reassuring feeling when we’re out of town to know that our little man has someone looking out for him.

Ashley did such an amazing job taking care of our 2 cats, Nala & Luna!! She followed my instructions for their meds & food to a T! Both cats loved her & enjoyed their extra attention, treats, & playtime while we were away for a week! Ashley also brought any mail or packages in & took our trash & recycle out to the curb on pickup day. I thoroughly enjoyed all the updates & pictures at every drop in visit! We will definitely be having Ashley watch Nala & Luna again!! :)

Kendell did a great job taking care of our pet's. She was always on time and was very good at communication. She made it a goal to make one of our cats love her by the end of the week. She brought her treats and some catnip. Her care goes above and beyond.

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 .

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 .

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.
