About: Reliable, structured care is what sets me apart. I’m happy to follow your established routines and house rules to ensure consistency for your pet. I’m comfortable with puppies (crate routines and reinforcing good habits) as well as senior dogs who need a slower, more attentive pace. I regularly care for dogs during the weekday and am experienced managing routines, timing, and midday coverage. I prioritize dependable timing, clear communication, and making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve owned dogs for over 15 years and have been pet sitting since 1995. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Pet care is already part of my regular weekday routine, allowing me to provide consistent and reliable service. I structure my schedule to maintain dependable timing for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I’m typically available for weekday midday and afternoon care, and I also offer boarding with a safe, structured environment and plenty of outdoor time for play, exercise, and fresh air. I don’t currently have dogs of my own, which allows me to provide a calm environment and give your pet my full attention. I keep my schedule organized to ensure each pet receives attentive, well-paced care and doesn’t feel rushed or overlooked. Safety and consistency are my top priorities in both my home and my client’s home. I follow each pet’s established routine closely, including feeding schedules, crate or free-roam preferences, and any specific care instructions. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with a large, fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time, exercise, and enrichment. Pets are never left unattended with unknown animals, and I prioritize a low-stress setting tailored to each dog’s temperament. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any changes that might indicate stress or discomfort. I’m also comfortable administering basic medications if needed. I focus on clear communication, dependable care, and making sure both you and your pet feel confident and at ease.
About: I have been cat sitting and fostering pets for about a year now, taking care of friends cats and helping animals in crisis (medical needs requiring them to be away from the shelter or in need of a temporary home). I work from home, so taking care of pets and being available to any of their needs would fit very easily into my daily or weekly routine. I would care for pets in my home just as they were my own pets. They would be free to roam the house (barring a few closed doors) and I would cater to any medical needs or preferences and follow their pre-determined schedule as closely as possible.
“Brittney was just the right care giver for our shy kitties! The pictures she sent eased my over protective heart. When we got home, the water & food bowls were filled & litter boxes were clean & tidy. She even took in our early Amazon delivery. We will definitely call on her every time we go away!”
“Lizette was amazing! This was our first time having someone new watch our cats while out of town. Lizette was fantastic at asking all the right questions to make sure she was up on the routine. She loved on them, snuggled them and made sure they were well cared for! So happy to have Lizette as a contact to love and care for our girls when we are out of town :) Highly recommend!”
About: Over the last 20 years I have dog sat for my brother and a couple friends. I would let the dogs out to play, potty, feed them etc. My brother also has cats and a fish tank as well. I have had dogs and cats since I was a little girl. Right now I have a hound mix that is 100 pounds and his name is Logan. I will treat your furry friend like my own and love on them as well. I love animals in general. I believe every animal deserves to be cared for wit love, respect, and dignity. They are like humans they have feelings as well. I would love to help you and your family out with your furry friend. You can reach out to me anytime. I currently have a 100 pound hound mix who i absolutely love. He is five years old and five months. He took some time to get used to us as a puppy as we think he was abused. I take him for walks, let him out back and stay with him, and play with him with his favorite toy(tennis balls) I have grown up with animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, upon many others. I have also watched animals for friends and family. I will treat anyone's animals with love. I have a fenced in backyard I let my dog out in. I'm constantly outside with him playing and loving on him to make sure he is safe from anything that will hurt him. I take him on walks in my subdivision to give him a little more exercise. When someone needs to me watch their pet I am letting them out back to play while remaining outside with them and making sure they have fresh air. I will also do daily walks when needed.
About: When looking for a sitter, trusting and learning the human that cares for you is all that your pets know how to do. My skills include dog behavior techniques and relaxed mental discipline. Finding a pets strength and weakness takes time and it is prominent that the caretaker ensure proper, sustainable care for your babies. I have not worked with many animals but I assure that over time I will become a great friend to your furry best friend. My flexibility is fully open currently. Finding a full time position with your pet is very important. Growing and learning your furry friends is most important to me. My two dogs Lokey and Sky are usually independent when it comes to what they need and when it is needed. Potty breaks are usually every 2 to 4 hours, as well as outside play time. We usually stay out for 15 to 30 minutes. Walks are solely for my pets. I allow them to sniff, play and take breaks when needed. Evenings are usually the best times for a walk, it’s not too cool nor hot, it’s just right.
About: I am a long time dog owner, and recent college grad. I do not work a traditional 9-5 which allows me lots of flexibility to meet your needs! I do not work a traditional 9-5 so I can mostly make my schedule around the pets that I am looking after, it is a priority. Making sure the animal is comfortable with me and feels safe and at home. Making sure I’m following the instructions of the owner when it comes to food, training, and walking.
About: I’ve been caring for and watching pets for the past 6 years, including pet sitting, dog walking, and house sitting with pets. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I take my own pets on walks throughout the day and enjoy making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. When pet sitting, I’m responsible for feeding, walking, playing with, and keeping pets comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and want them to feel happy, loved, and cared for! 🐾💕 I’m a full-time college student, but my classes are fully online except for one in-person class on Monday and Wednesday evenings at 5:45 PM. Because of my flexible school schedule, I have plenty of availability throughout the day for pet care, drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I’m also available on weekends and can work around your pet’s normal routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m very attentive and will make sure your pet is cared for exactly how you ask. I’ll follow feeding, medication, walking, and other instructions carefully, keep their space clean, and make sure doors and gates are secure. I’ll also send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well while you’re away.
About: I am a stay-at-home mom who understands how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your cat while you are away. I have transformed my entire basement into a safe, peaceful, loving retreat where your cat can relax and receive plenty of individual attention. Every cat in my care receives their own personal Kitty Cabana or Glamping Tent experience, complete with individual indoor play in our Playroom and open air lounging on our outdoor Cat Patio. Whether your kitty loves cuddles and playtime or a quiet space to settle in at their own pace, I'll make sure your little camper is comfortable and cared for. You will receive lots of photos and updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is safe, happy, and getting lots of love. I specialize exclusively in long-term cat boarding, which allows me the opportunity to give each cat the time and consistency they need to truly settle in and feel relaxed. As a stay-at-home mom, my daily routine is centered around being present and attentive, so your cat will receive constant care, supervision, and companionship throughout their stay. Because I only accept long-term stays, I'm able to build a real bond with each cat and maintain a calm, consistent routine and environment that helps them feel truly at ease. Throughout their entire stay, your cat will be safely and securely contained in their own private Kitty Cabana or Glamping Tent, our enclosed Playroom, and the secure Cat Patio. Campers are carefully rotated and never allowed to interact with other household pets or campers. This allows your cat their own peaceful retreat, while giving you the comfort of knowing your cat is safe, secure, and lovingly supervised throughout their stay.
“D‘Ashia took very good care of my two kitties and made sure she always communicated with me. I received the drop in notifications with nice pictures and important updates. Overall a great experience.”
“Diane was wonderful! I felt confident and comfortable with her from our first meeting. She took great care of my 3 cats while we were away and sent me pictures from each visit. The communication was solid and she was just overall amazing with my fur babies! I will definitely use her services next time we are away!”

I stay at home all day and I am available to care for your pet anytime. I love being around animals weather it’s playing ball or just walking. I live on 3.5 acre and have a fenced yard. I even have a fence in front yard. I like to use leashes for my little dog when I go outside due to coyotes. My dogs are in my house and can roam anywhere.

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.

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 .
