“Heather was absolutely amazing. She arrived on time every day and ensured my cat baby had food and water. She even checked her litter and cleaned up when my cat threw up. I was so pleased with her! She also left me a lovely card that I so much appreciated. I would definitely work with Heather again in the future.”
About: Through my shelter experience, I’ve worked with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, including shy, nervous, energetic, and more challenging dogs. I understand that every dog is different and may need a different approach. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable giving dogs the time and space they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pup is playful and high-energy, a little anxious, or prefers a slower pace, I’ll treat them with patience, care, and plenty of love. My shelter experience has also taught me the importance of paying attention to body language and individual needs, giving me confidence in caring for dogs who may need a little extra understanding and attention. I’m available for pet care early mornings and evenings Monday through Friday, with flexible availability throughout the day on weekends. Whether your pet needs a morning check-in, an evening visit, or extra attention over the weekend, I’ll work with your schedule to provide reliable, loving care that fits their routine. I provide pet care in the client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your pet’s needs, and will keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, and taking care of animals has always been something I truly enjoy. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets for years. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I love going on walks, playing, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pet like they are part of my own family and make sure they get the love and care they deserve. Monday: 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM Wednesday: 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM Friday: 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM I’m available during these times for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’d love to spend some time with your pets, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away! 🐶❤️ I offer dog walks and drop-in visits and always make your pet’s safety and comfort my top priority. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll keep a close eye on them, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’ll also treat your home with respect and leave everything the way I found it. ❤️🐶

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every animal in my care. I currently have a Husky, a Pitbull, and a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. From active dogs that love long walks and playtime to cats that need a calm and caring environment, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve also cared for many cats over the years and know that every pet has their own routine and unique needs. I treat every animal like family and focus on providing reliable, loving care while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. My passion for animals truly shows in the patience, care, and attention I give to every pet I meet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is something I truly enjoy. I work full time, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention, walks, playtime, and care they need throughout the week. I’m also available on weekends, which gives me even more time to focus on providing quality care and companionship. As a pet owner myself with a Husky, a Pitbull, and a cat, I’m already used to maintaining feeding schedules, exercise routines, and giving pets lots of love and attention every day. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm environment, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions from the owner. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. In my home, pets will have a clean, safe, and caring environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Since I have experience with both high-energy dogs and cats, I’m comfortable handling different personalities and energy levels. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel relaxed in their familiar environment while also keeping the home clean, secure, and well cared for. I provide updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and in good hands.
“I am amazed by Emmalyn! I just moved and i found her 2 days before my trip and she was the best! Very communicative, very detailed and she took the best care of my cats! Very loving. She also sent some extra videos and pictures. I will be hiring her again.”


About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality. Growing up, I had dogs, cats, a pig, and a variety of small animals, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. For more than 20 years, I've provided pet and house sitting for friends and family, caring for everything from farm animals to energetic puppies, senior pets, and cats. I'm comfortable with pets who have special needs and have experience administering medications, including oral medications, allergy injections, and insulin shots. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care for your pets. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, drop-in visits, or overnight in-home care, I can accommodate a variety of schedules while making sure they receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care. When you're away, I'll treat your pets and your home with the same respect, patience, and love that I would my own. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I work from home full time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable drop in visits, midday walks, and in home pet sitting throughout the week. Because I work remotely, I'm able to be flexible with visit times and can give your pets the attention and companionship they deserve. While I don't offer boarding, I'm happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel most secure. Your pet's safety and well being are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to follow your care instructions closely. Whether it's administering medications (if needed), maintaining feeding schedules, reinforcing training, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence, I strive to make your pet feel safe and cared for. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds (furry, feathery, and scaley) since I was 12 years old. I have experience caring for exotics and others in all manners from feeding, walking, playing, training and more! I teach part time so I have time throughout the day to care for the pets I’m caring for and tend to any extra needs they may have. I have a large fenced in yard and two friendly playful dogs who love company. I lead an active life so your pets will have a chance to play and exercise with plenty of time leftover to snuggle and relax! Our almost 2 year old son has always been around dogs and loves to play and snuggle with them too!
“I arranged 2 drop ins for an extra long work day. She was very professional, and very considerate of my home. She was very attentive and my dogs really liked her. She sent many pictures and stayed with them for 30 minutes each visit. I really appreciate not only her professionalism, but her consideration for my dogs and myself. I will be contacting her again next time my dogs need a walk or friendly visit!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 14! I worked at a boarding facility for 3 years back home prior to relocating for college. Before starting at the kennel I helped out my mom (RVT) with pet sitting for about a year in my spare time. While working at the kennel I was trained how to give medication orally and by injection, I am also trained to give insulin as well a fluids. I have no problem monitoring urinary and stool outputs as needed for animals health and safety. I currently have 4 dogs back home who I have helped to train from 8 weeks old to adulthood. While working at the kennel I also learned how to stick to a training schedules owners may have had for younger puppies while they were out of town. I have taken care of senior dogs that may have needed complex or large quantities of medications, as well as helping them move around as they need or if they have a waist support sling. Lastly I am trained in minor post operation care such as putting antibiotic ointment on an incision site and replacing the dressing covering it, as well as making sure they can’t lick or scratch at their incision site. I have been wanting to get back into animal care for a while now and I’m so glad I’ll get to know and help to care for more animals! As mentioned before I am a college student, I did not mention that I am a collegiate athlete as well, however our practices end at 5pm and and my latest class only goes to 7:15pm we have no practice on the weekends so I have extra availability then. During the week I have availability in between classes to stop by and let out animals for a little and play with them a bit. I did a similar thing in high school as I was a student athlete then too and pet sitting as well as working at the kennel so I have gotten really good at time management. I also have helped teammates and friends out with their petsitting to see if it would fit will with my schedule and it does. At my home and at my clients homes I feel that it is important to spend time with the animals and keep them company. I feel it is also important to keep up with training and potty schedules so it can be as close to their routine as possible for the animals so they don’t pick up and bad habits while their owners can’t be with them. At my house we play with our dogs a lot because most of them are playful, but we have one dog that is older and she doesn’t like to play as much as just take naps and get good scratches behind her ears. I believe that it is important to understand what the animals thinks is fun and what they want to do. If they want to play fetch and they can then it’s important to let them have that fun time, however if they would prefer to nap and get good cuddles then it’s important to give them that as well. Lastly I believe that while at a clients house it is important to leave all parts to the house looking as clean, if not cleaner then when you got there, as that is what I would want for my household as well.
About: I have a wealth of experience caring for dogs of all ages. I understand how to create safe, loving, enriching environments for all breeds and all life stages. I have a lot of experience walking reactive dogs on a leash with no drama and no yelling. I know what it takes to be a leader for all dog breeds and all levels of reactivity. I also have experience potty training dogs of all ages, and I can help maintain basic skill training when I walk them/feed them/stay with them as needed. I love senior dogs, too, and I am skilled with insulin shots, meds, and extra special loving for senior pups who need it. I am currently an online student. I have open availability 7 days per week, and my husband and I do not have children. I am taking 3 classes online this semester, so I have plenty of time to care for your home and your pets. I am reliable, easy to communicate with, and punctual. You can always count on me to treat your home and your pets with care and respect. I care for my pets like they are my human offspring. I vow to care for your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would exercise in my personal home. I appreciate the opportunity to make some extra money by caring for your pets and or your home while you travel for work or vacation, and I will respect this role as I would my corporate retail job that I held for the last 10 years.🐾💕
“Melanie dropped in to care for our cat Sergei while we were out of town. Sergei is a very social cat and loves people. Melanie sent us some really cute pictures of him and made us feel comfortable that he was getting some personal attention.”

“I can't say enough good things about Bree! Leaving my cat is always stressful, especially since she needs medication twice a day. But Bree was absolutely amazing. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease. While I was away, Bree sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Piper's well-being. More importantly, she administered Piper's medication perfectly, without any issues. I highly recommend bree to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced cat sitter. She went above and beyond, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”


About: Have had pets since I was born and have taken care of friends animals for the last 15 years. Cat and dog experience. Family also has a business taking care of dogs. I own my own business and have the flexibility to work from home. I make my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your animals, take them on walks, etc. I have a fenced in yard and no other animals currently in the home, in case that is a concern for the pet owner. There is also a dog park near my home.
About: I absolutely love animals, and with over 30 years of experience living alongside pets, I naturally tune into their unique personalities, body language, and routines! As a high-energy runner and big walker, I’m the perfect match for keeping active pups happy and hitting their exercise goals, while my decades of sharing spaces with animals mean I’m equally great at giving sweet kitties the calm companion care and independent space they thrive on. Whether your pet is an energetic workout buddy or a quiet lounger, I bring tons of love, care, and reliable live-in companionship to make them feel safe, active, and completely pampered! I work part time from home on my own schedule, easy to fit in your fur baby’s early morning, mid day or late night needs! When staying at your place, I focus on keeping your pets exact routine, boundaries, and energy levels intact. As a runner and big walker, I love tailoring our days to hit your dog's exercise goals, whether that's a fun jog or a casual stroll around the neighborhood. Decades of living with canine and feline roommates mean I effortlessly adapt to their feeding schedules and unique quirks, giving them plenty of love and live-in companionship right where they’re most comfortable.
“We couldn’t have taken our trip if we hadn’t of found Ruben! We have old, high maintenance dogs and he was perfect for us. He’s patient, experienced, dependable and just a really great sweet guy! Would absolutely recommend Ruben to anyone I know ;)”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the very beginning, they were communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with animals. Our pets took to them immediately, which says everything—especially since they can be a bit particular about new people! While we were away, we received regular updates, photos, and thoughtful messages that gave us complete peace of mind. It was such a relief knowing our pets were not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and comfortable in their own home. They went above and beyond in every way—keeping everything tidy, sticking to routines, and even noticing the little details that make a big difference. We came home to relaxed, content pets (and a spotless space!), which is the ultimate sign of exceptional care. We would trust them again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend them highly enough. Truly a five-star 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.

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 .
