“Rebecca was great with my 2 kitties! She came by the house when expected and shared lots of pictures and notes about the visit. She was quick to respond anytime I reached out to her and was flexible about adding a day when my return flight was delayed. We’ll definitely use her again.”
About: I have a biology background with 10 years experience In the zoo industry as well as 30 years owning and training my own dogs. My goal is providing a positive experience for both my clients and their loved pets. Your dog is as big part of you family and who you trust them with is very important. It's a great honor to know that my clients trust me with their beloved family members. I also have a love for the outdoors and exercise ( hiking and long walks ) have become a big part of life for and I long when I can bring a new friend with me. I want to be your "go to guy" when you need a little help with your furry friend.

About: I have a really compassionate side as evidenced by my work in healthcare. I’m so excited to meet each pet with their different personalities and make accommodations to have them feel as comfortable as possible during the time you’re away. I work healthcare hours during the day and am happy to see pets in the evening when off of work. I look forward to letting your pet get some energy out with play and going for walks! I want them to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away and an easy transition when you get back. I currently have cats so we clean the litter box daily, provide time for play, fresh water and food daily. We also try out new enrichment toys often just to see what helps. I’ve seen my very shy strays become more social and at home over the years and it’s such a good feeling. Building trust with animals can take time and that’s where my patience comes in. When I had dogs growing up they were walked once or twice a day, backyard to play in and we would run around in together, also daily food and drink as well as comfortable places to sleep.
“Gabriella is the most reliable and detailed sitter we have had. When we booked a trip and forgot to include a visit she was super responsive and able to get the extra visit in to make sure our cats were fed and well taken care of. She is super communicative on any questions or out of the norm behavior. It’s such a relief to know our cats have her to look after them in our absence!”
About: I grew up with veterinarians for parents and was always in and out of their clinic and over the years I've learned so much about pet health especially for dogs and cats, I love all animals and Im really looking forward to keeping your pets happy and healthy with plenty of love and safety. You'll never have to worry whether you baby is safe when Im watching them or walking them, I will be very careful, safe, nice and most of all make sure you pet is happy and HYDRATED, with plenty of approved treats. Your pet will be of my number one priority and will get the best care if I am chosen to watch them, hope you pick me, cant wait to meet your pets!! Im a senior at Colorado School of Mines so I have many gaps in my day & available to do multiple visits a day if needed! I do not offer pet sitting within my own home, but I am very respectful when in the homes of others. I have been pet sitting and baby sitting for many years.
About: I’ve had a lifetime of hands-on experience combined with the energy to provide structured, high-energy exercise for active dogs. Growing up with pets gave me a natural intuition for canine behavior, and I specifically gained valuable experience helping raise and train our family dog from a young puppy in high school, giving me a strong foundation in patience and consistency. Whether your pet needs a high-mileage workout or strict adherence to a precise training and feeding routine, I pride myself on delivering dedicated, reliable care that keeps your dog safe, happy, and thriving. As a student and athlete, my days are highly structured, which actually gives me great, predictable blocks of time for pet care. I train early and manage my own study hours, leaving me with plenty of flexibility throughout the day and evening to focus entirely on your pet. Because of my schedule, I'm incredibly used to sticking to precise routines, so your pet's feeding times and walks will always be right on time. Taking care of pets fits perfectly into my active lifestyle, and I love using my breaks to give them the dedicated attention and exercise they need. I have a spacious house and a nice grass yard for your dog to play. There are no other pets in the house so no need to worry about fights.
“Another fantastic experience with Nick and Kamila. This is the second time we've booked with them and we will absolutely book with them again. They gave our kitties the best care, gave us tons of updates, and we're super responsive. Great pet sitters!”
“Thank you so much for watching Greg over the holidays! You really went above and beyond making sure Greg was cared for. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you brought him toys and a treat on Christmas!”
“Amy was very good with Gypsy when we first met and asked a lot of questions. She was super punctual and sent me cute pictures during the walks. Will definitely be using Amy again!”

My availability is mostly during the daytime during the week. I’m available before 4 PM on Mondays and Thursdays and before 1 PM on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. My weekend availability is limited, but I may be able to accommodate occasional weekend request depending on my schedule. I care for pets buy making sure they feel safe comfortable and loved. I keep up with their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime and plenty of attention and cuddles.

Every pet is different so I always try to learn their personality and follow their owners instructions to make them feel as comfortable as possible.

Jared did an excellent job taking care of my cat Zoe. He's a great listener, very levelheaded, and followed my instructions perfectly. He's responsible, reliable, kept in great touch while I was away, and relieved me of any worries or concerns I had about Zoe's care. I highly recommend Jared to anyone needing exemplary pet sitting services.
Olivia took good care of our cat and four backyard chickens, dropping in twice per day for nine days while we were out of town. All the animals were alive and well, and the house was in great shape. She sent a brief note and a photo or two with each visit. She even did a few extra visits to keep the cat company and make sure the chickens were ok after a storm. We would certainly ask Olivia to look after our crew again!

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.

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 .
