About: I’ve had years of experience with dogs and cats. Growing up in a rural small town we always had animals. I have a huge love for all animals and would be happy to take care of yours! I am currently a stay at home mom of a child with special needs. Who goes to school full time so I have all of the day to help take care of your pets needs. I have a fenced in backyard to keep my dogs safe. I also have crates in the house that my dogs like to be in from time to time to feel safe and when we are gone from the home.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life (specifically German Shepard's and Boxers). I now have a family of my own with 9 and 12 year old kids. I have gone to adoption fairs and brought home two dogs now. Our first dog is a lab mix and our 2nd dog is a black lab. They are everything to my family and I which clearly means they are well love and spoiled. They LOVE other dogs off and on our property. My 9 year old has said "I dont like humans much, but I love animals" and this is so true for her since day 1. We are active in 4H, ahe show and competes in horse events. I will love your dog as my own while you are away!
About: My family has had dogs, cats and fish my whole life. I often watch them when my parents are out of town and I have dog and cat sat for family & friends for years. I have helped a friends family with their cattle and pigs, but am not as experienced with livestock outside chickens. I’m currently available 7 days/wk I work as a server in my pleasant so whoever I’m staying with ideally should be able to go 6-8hrs between potty breaks! If I have 2 weeks or more advanced notice I can make arrangements to be able to check in more frequently. o o o o o o o o o o I love interacting with the pets and getting to see them get more comfortable with me.

“Laura was AWESOME! My fur baby absolutely loved her. She took great care of her while I was away. Went the extra mile for her. Couldn’t have hoped for anyone better. Laura is the best!”
About: I absolutely love animals of all shapes and sizes! I am currently studying pre-veterinary science and I take pride in making sure you and your special friend(s) feel safe and happy🥰 I've got two dogs of my own, both are highly socialized, updated on shots yearly, and well trained🐶 Please feel free to message me anytime! I am willing to negotiate prices oer situation and usually respond within an hour or two😁 I currently work evenings between 6pm-11pm, but I am extremely flexible and I am more than happy to talk with you about work times if your pup(s) have strict schedules😋 I'd like to think I have a pretty solid intuition when it comes to a dog's needs, but either way, I am very good at following directions! I always leave my personal opinions at the door and make sure to follow *your* pets schedule and ask questions if I'm ever unsure!
About: I became a foster parent for GPSCA at the end of 2020 after adopting my bubbi with them during the summer. I took care of a mom and 3 puppies as my first assignment, all were adopted! <3 A few months after that, I fostered an older dog who had recently had surgery, who also got adopted after a couple of months with me. I love playing with dogs and getting to know all of their different personalities. My bubbi is an old man who loves to just snuggle and play catch with you. He's all about those TREATS too. Recently promoted to a hybrid job, 3 days in person, Mon-Weds. Unlike before where I was WFH. This would take me away for about 8-9 hours on those days. I know it can be scary for a pet to meet someone new. I like to make any dog I'm pet-sitting feel comfortable in its own environment. Whether that means I just sit there until they are comfy with me or abiding my their normal routine, I don't want them to feel out of place.
“Michelle did a great job giving my cats eyedrops and an inhaler as they have developed new medical conditions. She has the animal knowledge (and heart) to be creative when convincing them to take their medicine. I love having my cats spoiled by her”
About: What sets me apart is the love, patience, and real-life experience I bring as a pet parent to four amazing pets of my own: my cats Arcoiris and Benni, and my dogs Quico and Tina. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine, and I take the time to make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have hands-on experience caring for pets with additional needs. When my cat Arcoiris was a kitten, he required both topical and oral medications for the first five months of his life, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle care. I also have experience with puppies through raising Quico and Tina, so I know the time, structure, and attention younger pets need as they learn and grow. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding routines, fresh litter boxes, medication support, or extra cuddles, I will treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and my goal is to give you peace of mind while making your pets feel like family. I am available Monday - Thursday after 4pm and Friday - Sunday all day for dog walking, drop in visits and housesitting. This is my part-time job. I have a partner who takes care of our pets while I’m taking care of yours. We provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for all pets that stay with us. We live in a spacious home with plenty of room for dogs to relax, play, and feel at ease. Our large, fully fenced backyard is perfect for supervised outdoor time, whether it’s for play, potty breaks, or just soaking up the sun. We have two friendly dogs and two laid-back cats who are used to being around other animals. We always introduce pets slowly and carefully to ensure everyone gets along and feels safe. We maintain a calm, structured routine with regular feedings, potty breaks, play sessions, and quiet time. We also make sure to follow any specific care instructions you provide, so your pet's routine stays consistent.

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.
