“Cannot say enough about how wonderful Katherine is - she is the absolute best! Caring, compassionate, trustworthy, dependable - goes above & beyond for her clients. Deserves 100+ stars!! Thank you once again Katherine!”

About: I’m a champion for human & pets alike. Familial animals have been apart of my life since I was a young child and the subsequent years into my adulthood. I’ve assisted in the basic obedience training of 10+ dogs both in youth & elder-hood; temporarily lived with anxious pups whilst their parents traveled out of state; & I’ve formed genuine bonds with clients’ pets that I’ve routinely walked and tended to for years now. I’ve departed from traditional 9 to 5 employment to commit myself full-time towards the enriching of relations between all living beings, in particular, one Pet/Parent client at a time! Pet caregiving, dog handling & house sitting are my full-time job! Which fortunately means I’ve got quite a fluid weekly schedule capable of integrating a broad range of client scenarios. Mondays & Tuesdays between 9am and 9pm are my most flexible hours — services needed Wednesday thru Friday can be readily accommodated during our initial consultation. For clients interested in Boarding services - my home is a decently sized, fully furnished apartment with climate control functionality. During their stay with me your pets are welcome to languor however they normally would at home. I strive to make the stay as comfortable as possible for your pets whilst honoring whatever caregiving conditions/training you may request. If house-sitting your home is preferred, you can feel confident that your residence & loved-ones will be tended to with exemplary care & that upon your return home, it will be in the exact same or better condition than when you’d left it!
“We had a wonderful experience with Elinor as our cat sitter! She was a great communicator from our initial request through her very last visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away on an extended trip. Our cats don't always come out for strangers, so we were especially happy to see that they warmed up to her enough to come out for treats and even play with her during some of her visits. She sent us cute photos and thoughtful updates each day, which we really appreciated and loved seeing while we were away. Our flight home was unexpectedly delayed, and she was incredibly flexible about adding an extra day with the girls. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter!”


About: I’ve had dogs since forever, I love mine more than anything. My experiences dog sitting and cat sitting range from my neighbors and family to taking care of animals on my uncles farm. I love meeting people’s pets so it would be my pleasure to meet more!! My dog Ruby is 15 years old and I love her to death, I can’t imagine her being alone all day. I go to college full time at Cleveland State University. I do play in multiple orchestras as well, but although I’m busy I have time in between classes and in the afternoons/evenings that I struggle to fill! I would love to have a slow morning taking care of a pet, or going on a walk, so I am very flexible. I understand that all pets have their own personality, and honestly the best way to take care of them relies on me getting to know them. The quirks about pets are my favorite thing about them, and I am willing to work with any needs they have. I love spending time with any animal and making sure they feel loved and entertained.
“Daniel was fantastic! He was very communicative throughout the entire booking process and made us feel comfortable from the start. He took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand, which we really appreciated. Sunny and Nala were very well cared for, and the updates and photos he sent while we were away were great. We loved seeing how they were doing and knowing they were in good hands. Daniel was professional, kind, and reliable. We would highly recommend him and would absolutely book with him again!”

“My dogs absolutely love Jesseca! She is amazing!! She even brought my mail/packages in the house because she knew we were out of town. I will continue to have her take care of my babies.”

About: I have taken care of small and large dogs for family and friends. I also have 1 large lovely American pittbull of my own. Examples of the care I can provide: - walking - picking up 💩 - cuddling - playing - brushing - administrating medication - diet and allergies I provide additional petcare part-time, so I'm normally avaliable in the afternoon, evenings, or nights on Tues.,Wed.,Thurs.,Fri., and Sunday's evenings/nights. I make sure I feed my 8 cats and 1 dog twice daily and I prioritize socializing and cuddles with my cats and dog daily.
About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel
“Takia has been absolutely amazing! She checked in on my dog for 5 days and always sent multiple photos daily with paragraph updates. My dog needed oral meds daily and she was able to give with no issue at all! She even added cuddles with my pup as a cherry on top! Thank you Takia for the kind loving care towards my best friend. We will definitely be returning customers 🐶❤️”

About: When it’s time to go outside it’s time. Clean up areas where the pet(s) have pooped @. Please make sure they are trained with handling strangers. Thank you ! Currently, I am currently working part-time after almost a 9 months of unemployment. I have time for pet care services. Just a American putting effort in the American Dream for myself. Since I will take them out to poop, pee & food I’m going to be diligent on that note ! Close & lock doors is a must !
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Since 2008, I've volunteered at a local animal shelter, walking dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I've also provided trusted dog sitting for family and friends over the years, treating every pet like they're part of my own family. I'm passionate about animal welfare and believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I'll make sure your furry family member feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who are very calm to keep your pup company also. My husband works from home and I too am home mostly. It will be very rare when your pup is left alone in our house and if it is the case I am comfortable crating or leaving your pup to have the run of the house if that is what you would prefer. I have a neighborhood filled with sidewalks where many, many dogs walk so the sniffing is a must! I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who are very calm to keep your pup company also.

Debra did a could drop-in visits on my kitties while my boyfriend and I were away for a few days. She met with us beforehand to chat and see where everything was. She was very warm and friendly, and she came by exactly when she said she would on those drop-in days. Their food and water were topped off when we got home and litter was all cleaned. They were well taken care of- thanks Debra!!

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.

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 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.
