“Lauren was fantastic with my 2 dogs. I was a little nervous as just moved to town and needed a new sitter. Lauren kept me informed, sent photos, let me feel very comfortable during my trip that my dogs were well taken care of. Definitely recommend her to care for your animals.”
“Jeanie is my go-to for pet care and couldn’t be happier! She’s professional, dependable, and incredibly attentive. I always know my pup is in great hands with her, and I love the wonderful photos she sends—they make my day every time. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m an animal lover with 6 years of experience caring for pets and houses for friends and family. I understand that your pets are more than just animals—they’re part of your family, and I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and other unique pets, including providing meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, medication, and plenty of cuddles. I’m also happy to maintain your pet’s normal routine while you’re away so they can feel safe and comfortable in their own home. When house sitting, I’m respectful of your space and can help keep your home tidy and secure while you’re away. I’m happy to bring in mail, water plants, take out trash, and make sure everything is cared for! I currently work part-time as a housekeeper, scheduling my services around my client's individual needs on a first-come, first-served basis to ensure that every need is met especially the needs of your beloved pet! I take pride in providing dependable, and thorough care and I prioritize the highest quality of service possible! I provide high quality service that emphasizes the pet’s safety, comfort, emotional well-being, routine, and overall care while the owner is away. What my high-quality pet care service involves • Understanding each pet individually: Every animal has a different personality, routine, comfort level, and set of needs. I take time to learn the pet’s habits, likes and dislikes, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and behaviors rather than providing one-size-fits-all care. • Maintaining their normal routine: Pets generally feel more secure when their familiar routine is maintained. This includes feeding them at their usual times, refreshing their water, cleaning litter boxes or potty areas, providing walks or playtime, and maintaining their normal sleeping and daily schedule. • Providing companionship and attention: my quality care includes genuine interaction. Depending on the pet, that may mean playing, brushing, walking, giving affection, talking to them, or simply sitting with them. For pets that experience separation anxiety, calm companionship can be especially important. • Keeping the pet safe: As your pet’s sitter I prioritize creating a secure environment and preventing situations that could put the animal at risk. This includes checking doors and gates, being mindful of hazards, monitoring interactions with other animals, and following the owner's specific safety instructions. • Observing behavior and health: As your pet sitter I pay attention and inform you about any changes in appetite, drinking, bathroom habits, energy level, mood, mobility, or behavior. Recognizing that something is different can be extremely important to your pets health and well-being. • I ensure all care instructions are completed with qualityand care regarding food, treats, medications, exercise, allergies, behavioral concerns, or special routines. • Keeping your pet's environment clean is top priority! This includes cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste in the yard, washing food and water bowls, cleaning accidents, and keeping the areas where the pet spends time comfortable and sanitary. • Providing enrichment Pets need mental stimulation as well as basic physical care. Toys, interactive play, walks, scent exploration, routine exercises, and age-appropriate activities can help prevent boredom and reduce stress. • Respecting the owner's home I ensure to treat my client's home with respect and professionalism. This means being responsible with keys and access, keeping the home secure, cleaning up after the pet, and leaving the home in good condition. • I prioritize communicating consistently providing you with reassurance that your pets are safe and doing well. A high-quality and meaningful updates about your pets day and, photos or video updates. Communication is open and honest—if something unexpected happens. My high quality services ensure and prioritize that your pet is treated with patience, compassion, responsibility, and genuine care—not simply being checked on!

About: Hi! I’m Jordyn, and animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember. I grew up in veterinary clinics, later became a veterinary technician and groomer, and now I’m living my dream as the founder and owner of JoJo’s Pack House LLC. My goal has always been to create a place where dogs are treated like family while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and abilities—including seniors, puppies, special needs, and dogs who require medications or extra attention. Every dog who stays with me is treated like one of my own, with kindness, patience, love, and respect. So if you would like your animal(s) to get the time, love, and care that they always deserve, please feel free to contact me anytime. To give every dog the attention they deserve and to keep our daily routine running smoothly, drop-off and pick-up appointments are scheduled during designated appointment windows. DAYCARE HOURS: 8AM-5:00PM Full day or Half days available. With years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, grooming, and professional dog care, my goal is to provide a fun, low-stress, home-style environment where every dog feels like part of the family. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my highest priorities. I have two friendly pups (dachshund and terrier mix) that love to make new friends! We have a fully fenced backyard and the pups are never left outside unattended. I intentionally keep my boarding small and personal so every guest receives plenty of one-on-one attention, love, and care. I send daily photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pup is having a safe and fun vacation! You’ll never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I love keeping owners updated throughout their stay. Every guest enjoys supervised outdoor time throughout the day, with potty breaks at least every three hours or more often if needed.
About: I provide calm, attentive care tailored to each pet, including puppies and seniors, ensuring comfort, safety, and lots of love, patience and reliability every time. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins, ensuring each pet gets consistent attention, care, and affection every day. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every environment. I follow routines closely, maintain clean spaces, provide constant supervision, and respect each pet’s boundaries in my home or yours.
About: I’ve been around animals all my life and have a love for all creatures big and small. I’ve cared for animals as large as a horse and as small as a hamster. I’m a college student going to school Tuesday through Thursday. My weekends are open. I can be available most evenings if needed. I try to be very flexible. I enjoy walking animals so that they can get exercise and use the bathroom. When a pet is in the back yard, I keep my eyes on them.
“Alissa was very good with our Rex. This was our first time leaving our baby and she was very accommodating to our concerns. She could immediately tell our sweet boy was sad we left him and she went out of her way to make sure our boy was happy, comfortable and loved! We will definitely be using Alissa again!”
About: I’m always looking for an excuse to get my steps in, and spending time with pets is the perfect way to do it! Growing up, our home never felt complete without a couple of cats and dogs running around. Caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life, so making sure your furry family members feel safe, loved, and well cared for comes naturally to me. I’m very flexible with my schedule since I’m currently freelancing and enrolled in online school. I’m available Monday- Friday and some weekends; holidays may vary. My dogs always loved spending time in our fenced backyard, so I know how important it is for pups to get plenty of exercise and playtime. Whether it's neighborhood walks, a trip to the dog park, or simply letting them run around in a secure backyard, I'm happy to keep them active and entertained. If your dog needs a little extra care, like a bath or light grooming, I'm happy to help—just let me know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly. For everyone's safety, I only accept dogs that are potty trained and non-aggressive. If your dog has any behavioral quirks or special needs, please let me know before booking so I can make sure we're a great fit!
“Christyl was great with our pup! She was responsive and sent pictures when she came to let him out! She followed all instructions and our dog loved her! Would def recommend and will be booking again with her!”
“Jadyn did an amazing job checking on our pups! She communicated very well, and made sure our dogs were well taken care of! This was our first time using Rover and she made this a very pleasant experience!”

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.

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.
