“Julissa is the epitome of what I was looking for in someone to care for my dog while Im not home. She is kind, super professional, responsive and on time. She took perfect control of my dog right from the start, asking all the right questions, and took her on a walk during our meet and greet. I cannot recommend her enough, if I could, Id give 10 stars!!”

About: I’ve always loved spending time with animals! I grew up with several dogs and cats and helped with potty training and teaching our dogs fun tricks. As an adult, I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for many friends, family members, and neighbors. I’ve cared for puppies, energetic young dogs, and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable with all ages and personalities. I’m also comfortable with giving medicine or ear drops if needed. I love walking and running, so I’d be happy to give your pup some exercise and attention while you’re away! I have a special place in my heart for bunnies, too. I have a spoiled, free-roam 3-year-old bunny of my own. I’m happy to care for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and turtles. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own! 🤎 I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’ve been a stay at home mom for a little while and now my daughters are both in school. I’m available for morning, afternoon or evening drop ins or walks! If it’s an evening drop in, my daughters would love to come along with me occasionally and play with your pets as well, if that is something you’re comfortable with. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow all instructions provided by the pet parent, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure pets are safe and comfortable throughout my visit. I’m respectful of the home, keep things clean and tidy, and always make sure everything is secure before I leave. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all of my life and have spent the last two years regularly caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication schedules, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to giving pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule, allowing me flexibility for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. I pride myself on being reliable and punctual, and I work hard to accommodate pet owners’ schedules whenever possible. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I understand that pets are happiest when their normal schedule is maintained, so I carefully follow feeding instructions, exercise routines, medication schedules, and any special requests. I always keep owners updated with photos and messages during each visit, and I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. My goal is to provide dependable care and give you complete peace of mind while you’re away

About: I grew up having all animals in my life. From my own house having turtles, birds, Guinea pigs,5 dogs and almost 15 cats!(no joke!) my aunt I’m very close with also had a small farm with lots of farm animals that I’ve helped take care of. Again I’m a super big animal lover and have no problem taking care of easy pets or difficult bigger pets like 100+ pound dogs. I also have many references that go back 8 years long I’m currently working part-time in the slower season of my job at U-Haul moving and storage. My work shifts are usually around six hours long 3-4 days a week so I have plenty of free time and availability. I also am able to take a lunch break if needed to go check on or feed your pets while at work! Currently, I am living in an apartment with my mom who is also an animal lover and helps me take care of any animals that I might have staying over but I usually do stick to smaller animals being brought into my home since I do have a cat already. I usually prefer to go to your house or possibly asleep at your house if you’re gone for the weekend so that way I’m able to give nonstop care and attention to the animal. I also am very easy-going and do not require much when staying at your home! As well, I have many references for taking care of animals for taking care of house houses plants and anything in between

About: Although I have since stepped away from the pet grooming industry to return to school, I was a dog groomer from 2021-2025. Pet sitting gives me the flexibility I need to pursue my academic goals while still fulfilling my desire to work with animals! I currently work in a school, so I am available for drop-in appointments from 7 am to 8:15 am on weekday mornings and 5 pm to 9 pm on weeknights. I’m available anytime on weekends! Every cat is different, and I want to make them all feel as comfortable and loved as possible. On top of tasks such as refilling food and water, cleaning the litter box, and checking the house for the occasional hairball or two, I love to play with and provide attention to the cats in my care. Anything that normally falls into their routine, I can provide. Unfortunately, my kitty is a rescue who doesn't like other pets, so I do not provide boarding services.

About: Throughout my 20 years of living, I have had over 50 different pets, ranging from horses to hamsters to ducks. Just in the past 8 years, I have raised 4 puppies, and had many more throughout my life. Animals have always been such an important part of my life, and I genuinely could never see myself without them. I have a passion for all animals, and caring for them brings me joy. Caring for them is second nature to me, and I truly enjoy it. I am currently in EMT school Monday through Wednesday, 9am-1pm. Other than that, pet sitting is my main job and I am very dedicated to caring for your pets! I am committed to respecting all of your household rules and will follow your pet care instructions precisely.

About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion and my profession for over 10 years. I’ve worked in veterinary clinics, animal shelters, humane societies, wildlife sanctuaries, and wildlife rehabilitation centers, caring for animals of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Outside of animal care, I’m also a Certified Flight Instructor. Aviation has taught me the importance of responsibility, communication, attention to detail, and staying calm under pressure, positive qualities I bring to every pet I care for. Whether I’m ensuring a safe flight or looking after your four legged family member, safety and reliability always come first. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals that need a little extra patience or special attention. I have experience administering oral medications, recognizing when something isn’t quite right, and creating a calm, stress free environment. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust. My goal is to make that decision easy by treating every pet like they’re my own. I’ll provide plenty of love, exercise, enrichment, and personalized care, along with regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. My day to day job is a local pilot - Certified Flight Instructor but I work a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dependable care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a quick check in, medication, playtime, feeding, or companionship while you’re away, I’m committed to keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll work with you to create a schedule that best fits their needs while keeping you updated with photos and messages after every visit. Pet safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With over 10 years of experience in veterinary clinics, shelters, wildlife rehabilitation, and professional pet care, I’m trained to recognize changes in behavior and signs of illness or stress. I’ll respect your home as if it were my own, carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced hands.

About: I’ve grown up with pets, so caring for animals has always been part of my life. I naturally connect with them and enjoy making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. For the past three years, my parents have cared for dogs, and I’ve been right there helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. Spending time with different dogs has helped me learn how to care for each one based on their personality and needs. I also have experience with house sitting and I understand how important it is to keep your home and your pets well cared for while you’re away. I truly love all animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I currently work part time and only have trade school in the mornings from 7am-11am on weekdays. This leaves me with a lot of free time to spend caring for your animals! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep routines consistent and pets comfortable. I feed and give water on schedule, take dogs for walks when needed, and provide playtime, and companionship. For cats, I clean litter boxes, offer attention, and handle any medical needs as directed. I give updates to owners so they feel connected while away. My goal is to make pets feel happy, secure, and loved in their own home. 🐾

About: I take pet reponsibility very seriously. I want your dog or cat to have fun, play, and of course behave like you would want them to! Thanks to several decades of family and friends dogs and cats I’ve mastered the “no-nonse” tone, but I also understand that sometimes we’ve just gotta stop and check out that squirrel. I currently work full time remote for Microsoft, M-F, 8-5pm so I can accommodate most in home stays as long as I have a WiFi connection. I live in a wonderful apartment with a huge balcony that is often open. It’s on the second floor and my pets love hanging out there. Better yet our complex has a dog park and it’s right in front of my unit, so lots of opportunities to play with toys or blow some steam.

I have a super chill elderly cat named Layla and a doggy named Penny (Princess Penelope Lane) who is scared of her own shadow, and anyone who's not her family is automatically labeled as "stranger danger." I've never seen Penny take food or pets from someone other than us, but Jessica is a true animal whisperer who's more than able. There's nothing better than receiving consistent pictures and updates while outside of the country and knowing my furry little girls and house are safe in Jessica's capable hands. We plan on looking for a new puppy to bring into the family soon, and I look forward to asking for Jessica's help in caring for them in the future. Thank you so much Jessica 😆

Madison has a very gentle nature that my cats were drawn to immediately. I trusted her because she is a vet assistant and has devoted her life to caring for animals. I was called to go on a business trip for 2.5 weeks, and Madison rose to the occasion and hung in there with daily updates and photos to keep me in touch with them while I was gone. The cats were happy and relaxed when I returned home and I am very grateful for her loving care while I was gone.

Nicholas was awesome with both our dog and cat! We usually have some trouble with our dog getting anxious while we're away, but had no issues this time! He was happy on his walks and well taken care of. Our cat also enjoyed having Nicholas around, which we can't say for everyone. Nicholas gave detailed updates and lots of photos of our pets to keep us updated while we were away. This is the most confident I've been with anyone looking after our pets, and we will definitely be booking again!

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 .

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.

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
