About: Dogs and cats aren't just "pets" - they are intelligent and compassionate creatures that need us as much as we need them. As a child, I've always been great with dogs and cats, building strong bonds and connections with them. I would choose them over humans any day! There were always dogs and cats in my house throughout my lifetime, and I am very used to them, and taking care of them is natural. I have experience with nervous/anxious, friendly, overly excited, elderly, and slightly aggressive dogs. I have also helped raise 2 puppies, weeks after they were born, into adults! I understand each dog's individual needs and am very receptive to their behavior. I am available any day of the week at any time, to care for your pet(s). I am available to do walks, house-sitting, and drop-in visits, depending on your needs! I give pets my full attention. I am alert to my dog's needs and enjoy taking her on walks for daily exercise. I bathe and groom my dog, and like to take her places with me if I can.

About: I’d make an excellent dog sitter because I bring energy, attentiveness, and a genuine love for animals into everything I do. Even without formal experience, I’m highly responsible and quick to learn, which means I’ll carefully follow any instructions to keep each animal happy, healthy, and on their routine. I’m naturally patient and observant, so I can pick up on personality and needs with confidence! Whether that means playful energy, calm companionship, or extra care and reassurance. Most importantly, I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I would treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and excited while their owner is away! I am currently working part time and going to school part time. I am free most days and want to still remain productive in any way I can. I ensure cleanliness and safety when it comes to being in someone’s home. I love to clean and tidy up whenever I can! As an introvert, I love quietness so noise isn’t something I emit a bunch of.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Gardnerville
Im so thankful and grateful that I found such a wonderful, caring, and reliable person to take such great care of my cats. Kristin followed through with everything that I asked for and honestly that’s very hard to find nowadays. My boys are very standoffish and do not warm up to anyone and I got videos of my cats on her lap, purring and happy. That has never happened with the other sitters I’ve had in the past. Kristin treated my babies as if they were her own. If you want the best for your babies while you’re away, this is the person you want to call. Thank you, so much Kristin :)

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.

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 .
