“Monica is a wonderful pet sitter and she takes great care of my kitties when I go out of town. She goes out of her way to do extra things and there isn’t anyone I trust more to come into my home for my pets!”
About: I am new to Rover, but have taken care of animals, big and small, all my life, and hope to grow my Rover profile at the same time I build my career as a recently-graduated archaeology Ph.D. student. I fully believe that our pets are parts of our family, and they deserve to be cared for that way. Our pets are just one part of our lives, but we are their whole lives, and I believe that is a gift, and means that taking care of pets is an honor. I grew up with dogs, cats, and even the occasional snake or two, and am familiar with animals at every stage of life. I am also used to a wide variety of energy levels and sizes, and have cared for small dogs, big dogs, house hippos, and tiny tornadoes (I also recognize that sometimes tiny tornadoes come in cat-form). I am very comfortable walking and playing with large, energetic dogs, and can provide them all the stimulation and engagement that they need. I am also familiar with the unique needs of cats, and have never had a period in my life when I did not have at least one cat as a pet. I am completely at ease with litter box care, playtime, and snuggle time. I am also very comfortable caring for geriatric animals, and animals that require medication. Throughout my life, I have cared for many pets, both cats and dogs, at the end of their lives, and even currently have a 20+ year old cat that requires some extra attention. I understand that older animals are special cases, and they deserve all the attention and care we can give them in their twilight years. I will care for your animals like my own, and will love the opportunity to make a new furry friend! I am currently an adjunct professor, and I have my own archaeological nonprofit, but this means my schedule is mostly up to me. This gives me ample time to spend with your pets, as well as flexibility to fit into your schedule. I will care for your animals in your home according to their routine and your expectations. I understand how important routine is, and how important environment is for pets to feel safe and secure.
About: I've taken care of a few of my friend's and family's dogs over the past few years. I have only had cats growing up, but I love dogs and would love to spend more time with them! I'm currently a student, so I have plenty of time in the evenings and weekends to care for pets. I would spend ample time with them, as I am missing my animals from home immensely. I cannot board currently due to my housing restrictions, but I will take care of your pets with the attention I would give to my own.
“I needed some help exercising my 2 dals after an injury. Sidney is great with my pups! She is clearly an animal lover. I will definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur babies.”
About: I am an absolute animal lover! I have worked in doggy daycare and boarding, trained puppies, taken care of the medication and extra needs in older dogs as well as pet sat for my friends and families dogs (ranging from small to big) and cats. I have two cats of my own, but never miss an opportunity to say pspsps to another feline friend. I'm working part-time so I have plenty of availability to watch over your pet as needed. If you require walking or training, I would love to provide that service as well! I have too many pets of my own to offer to board your dog(s) or cat(s), but I have reliable transportation to come to you when needed! I love to play, cuddle, pet and train animals and I am a trustworthy, clean person to have in your home. When not actively playing with your fur babies I will most like just be reading.
About: Extreme love of all animals- many dogs and cats since I was a kid. Always had animals and enjoy being around them and treat them as my own, enjoying their company. 🐾🐾 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available during the week, weekends and Holidays. Early morning visits are not a problem. 🐶 I will gladly take care of your pet in your own home. I can walk them and keep them comfortable in the safety of their own surroundings.
“Joshua is a cat whisperer! I was so concerned about leaving my persnickety cat, but Joshua and Puddy became fast friends. The house was spotless when I got back - all newspapers and mail collected. I couldn’t be happier.”
About: I grew up with a family dog named Cookie and and I have always been around pets my whole life and have watched over friends and family’s pets, and neighbors! Currently I do not have any pets. My schedule is flexible. I am a student at UTMB. My weekday schedule is primarily at school & weekends off but am available most days of the week! I enjoy playing with pets and cuddling up with them on my couch. I live in a gated community with a dog park nearby to walk your pets around!
About: Hi there! My name is Haylie and I’m a nursing student at UTMB. I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of nine amazing pups of all different breeds and sizes. Taking care of them every day has given me tons of experience with all kinds of personalities, routines, and special needs. I truly love spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for. Since I was unable to bring my dogs to school with me, I’d love to help take care of others! Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, I’ll treat your pets like part of my own family! As a nursing student, I’ve learned how to balance responsibility, care, and time management — skills that carry over perfectly into pet sitting. I usually finish my classes around 4 p.m. most days, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for pets. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure every pet is well looked after, loved, and secure while their owners are away
“It was my first time using Rover and Meghan really came through for me last minute when I had to leave for a weekend. I felt much more at ease knowing my guy was at home, somewhere he felt comfortable, instead of being boarded in a kennel. Even though he can get a little rowdy, he and Meghan got along great, and I got photo updates twice a day, which was a big relief for me. Thanks so much Meghan!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I grew up with a family dog, so caring for pets has always been part of my daily life. Throughout high school, I also worked at a boarding kennel where I gained hands-on experience caring for many different breeds, sizes, and personalities of dogs. During that time I helped with feeding schedules, cleaning, administering basic care, and making sure every dog got the attention and exercise they needed. Whether your dog needs walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, my goal is to make them feel comfortable and keep their routine as normal as possible. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I manage an Airbnb property and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, and plenty of attention. I provide attentive, personalized care whether pets are in my home or their own home. In both environments, I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Regan did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty Damien while we were away. He is old and we were worried to leave him alone for so long and she did a great job sending updates and photos to assure us he was safe and taken care of. In addition there was an issue with the key we had made for her to access the house and she was very flexible with meeting a locksmith to get a new one made while we were out of state. I really appreciate the extra time and effort she put in regarding this. Definitely would use her again to take care of our baby. Thank you!”
“Nova was a great home sitter! She communicated throughout her care and kept me updated on anything that was out of the ordinary. She cared for my cat that has just under gone surgery, and she did a great job giving medication on time and performing the prescribed massages and exercise with my cat.”
About: I have two dogs of my own and I love them both so much! I volunteered at a local dog shelter, where I gained hands on experience working with dogs of all sizes! I have taken care of smaller dogs, bigger dogs, and older dogs before. No matter the size I’m happy to help! I am a college student, so my schedule is flexible -which ensures plenty of time to take care of your little ones! I usually take my dogs for a walk every morning/evening and if you need me too I’d love to do it for yours as well! I understand the stress of leaving your furry friend with strangers. I have always been an animal lover and would gladly show your little ones some love! I will treat your home like it is my own- with respect and care. When I have someone else’s animal in my care I treat them like my own -as part of my family, as I hope anyone else would do for mine!
About: I grew up caring for my own cats and dogs and have also enjoyed being entrusted to care for the fur babies of others when they’re unable to. This has included general companionship, playtime, walks, feeding, and administering oral medications. I have experience with breeds of all sizes and ages, but do especially well with smaller breeds. Currently, I’m earning certifications in animal care, health, behavior, and wellness (including CPR and treatment of minor injuries) to be able to provide the best care possible! Please feel free to contact me to inquire about availability and schedule services. A free 15-minute meet & greet is required for first-time clients. I prefer to care for pets in the client’s home; however, if a visit to my home is necessary for periods of time longer than an hour, it is recommended that the client provide materials like food, leash, toys, pet bed, and a carrier/crate, if used.
About: I have a flexible schedule and genuinely love spending my time around sweet dogs and other animals! I already enjoy going on walks, so I’d love to have your pup along for some company. Whether they love playing fetch, getting belly rubs, exploring on a walk, or going for a light jog, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. I have experience overnight sitting for both big and small dogs and am comfortable with feeding, fresh water, medications, and following any special instructions you leave for me. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’ll make sure yours gets plenty of attention, affection, and care while they’re with me. I’m also a cat lover, so I’m happy to help with cat sitting and drop-ins too! 🐾 I’m flexible, attentive, and quick to respond, so feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests. I’d love to meet you and your pets! I am a student with no other priorities! I would love to develop a consistent and personal routine you and your pet can rely on! Safety and secured animals and property are extremely important to my service to you as a pet sitter. I will make sure you and your pet feel safe and secured when I come to assist you guys!
About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs, from small to very large. I have experience with senior dogs and raised my own dog as a puppy. I can give medications as needed and live an active lifestyle so walks are a breeze! I’d love to help with your fur babies (also have cat, guinea pig, and chicken experience). I am a grad student so my schedule is quite flexible with breaks in between for potty breaks or walks. I can also do in home stays as needed. For in home service I follow the instructions of the owner to a T. I make sure to try and maintain the pets routines as best as I can. I treat your homes how I’d want mine treated!
About: T.ender L.oving C.are of your babies while you are away: long or short-term, drop-ins, one-time, or regular care. Overnights, daily, weekly, monthly, anxiety issues, senior care, special needs — all okay! I’ve had cats, dogs, and fish since I was young. I also have previous veterinary and emergency veterinary assistant experience. I’m an experienced aquarist, plant and garden caregiver, and have hand-raised baby birds. I adore fish, guinea pigs, chickens, reptiles and amphibians too, so no worries if you have multiple pets because I take excellent care of them all! My own babies include: Hestia my newest adopted kitty, 6 pond goldfish and 1 pleco, 4 chickens, a bunch of plants, and I dabble in aquaponics (growing fish and plants together). I’m mature, responsible, detailed, and trustworthy. Taking clients now until my schedule is filled. Hope to see you soon! Feeding, care, play, and love — all day every day! We’ll probably listen to some music and do some howling too! We’ll take field trips to the beach as often as possible. HOUSE SITTING: I have deep respect for my client’s pets and home as I am also a property owner and property manager. I’m mature and professional and I listen carefully to important client instructions. I assure excellent care. ONSITE: 4 apartments formerly Airbnb rentals now used as pet accommodations — and a huge, fenced in backyard. We have lots of room for plenty of pets that won’t be in contact with one another (so no worries about getting along with others). All pets must have current vaccinations and must be on prescription flea/tic meds.

Everything was great! Cats didnt even hate me on my return! Samuel took good care of them and I'm already planning the next trip when I finish sleeping this one off, relieved in the knowledge that Samuel will be here to watch over my precious little beasts! Thanks again!!
Meghan was absolutely wonderful with drop-ins for my elderly cat while I was away. I was super nervous about leaving my cat with someone new after a difficult year with her health, but Meghan was super warm, communicative, and consistently on-schedule with everything going just as planned. 10/10 will absolutely book with her again. Thank you!!!
Jillian dropped in to take care of our three cats, including one senior cat who needs to have dailly meds. She was such a wonderful sitter, and not only spent quality time with our cats, but kept us updated and informed on what was going on with them. She is so great-we will definitely be booking with Jillian again! Thank you, Jillian!

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.
