I have experience with ages from under 1 to 16 years old and understand every dog has different needs and different quirks to them but I have extra love for all 🩷 I currently work Tuesdays through Saturdays 8am- 4:30Pm. My days off are Sunday and Monday Im available all day. I am able to bring your fur baby to my place of work if you’re comfortable with for all day care I provide loving, attentive care for pets in my home or yours!

About: I’ve have been a dog owner for over 15 years. I have taken care of animals as young as a puppy and senior dogs. I have also cared for small animals. I work from home on Mondays. I do work in office Tuesday through Friday but home on the weekends with full availability. I do have help at home so someone is always present to take dogs out to potty! My dogs do have a fenced in backyard and can run and play. I can walk dogs if needed. I also can take care of fish and small animals. I have two Guinea pigs at home!
About: Growing up with a veterinary technician mother, I have seen how crucial animal care is up close. I have also spent years working in animal foster care and of course, caring for my own babies. I grew up with multiple friends and family who had everything from dogs and cats, to lizards, to horses and am well prepped to take care of your furry friend too! I only work part-time several days a month as my job is currently moving into off-season. My schedule is therefore quite open right now until the season shifts but I will communicate and update as things change. I would love to fill my time with both pet care and the exercise of dog walking! When possible, I visit clients homes prior to their departure so we have a mutual understanding. This helps me see the owner and pet interactions in person, understand the home, and ask any upfront questions as well as answer any that may immediately come up. It is easy for me to find a relaxed activity to do that can keep me with the pets and at their attention at all times.
“This is my first time ever using Rover. I think that Steph was amazing. But I realize I did not know to tell her that my girls are very talkative girls and the more she talks the more they respond to her. We had one miscommunication, that the food upstairs was already upstairs. But I will learn to do better! She did a great job for me!”

About: Are you in need of a reliable and experienced pet sitter? Look no further! With 5 years of experience caring for cats and dogs I am here to provide top-notch care for your furry friends. From feeding and walking to playing and cuddling your pets will be in good hands with me. Contact me today to schedule your pet sitting services and give yourself peace of mind while you're away. I currently work full time Monday-Thursday, but while I am pet sitting I am willing/able to spend all of the time that I'm not working with your fur babies! When I take care of pets in other people's homes I make sure to follow the instructions given to me by the pet owners. I ensure that all of your pets basic needs are met, as well as anything else needed for them specifically! I spend time playing with the pets and giving them attention to keep them happy and comfortable. Additionally I clean up after the pets and make sure the home is left in the same condition as when I arrived. Taking care of pets in other people's homes is a responsibility that I take seriously and enjoy doing.

About: I was a Rover caregiver for several years, then I adopted a rescue who is reactive to other dogs and had to stop boarding/sitting. I missed interacting with all the great pets I met, so I'm back in action for drop-in visits and walks on weekends. I've been caring for friends' and family pets for almost 30 years. I'm typically very good with anxious/shy dogs, and I'm not squeamish about dogs who give lots of slobbery kisses LOL I work full-time Monday through Friday, so I'm available for drop-in visits and walks on the weekends or on holidays when I have the day off from work. When doing walks or drop-in visits, I follow my clients' instructions, and have no problems with feeding or administering medications. I also let your pets set the pace and give them space & time needed to get used to me being in their space.
About: I work from home Monday - Friday so your lovable friend will be consistently monitored, I have a two story home with three bedrooms however it’s just my husband and I with our three cats so lots of space, I also have a fenced in backyard and live in a walkable neighborhood in Cumberland Indiana if your pet needs to be walked. ☺️ I’ve had several years of hands-on experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities, including shy, independent, high-energy, and more strong-willed (‘spicy’) temperaments. My experience comes from raising and caring for my own three cats, each with very different needs and behaviors. I’ve worked closely with rescue cats and understand the patience and consistency required to help them feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I’m very attentive to body language and behavioral cues, which allows me to adjust my care style to each pet’s comfort level. In my home, I provide a calm, structured, and low-stress environment. I have the ability to separate pets if needed, making it ideal for animals who are shy, anxious, or prefer their own space. I prioritize cleanliness, routine, and safety at all times. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care for pets throughout the day. I have several automatic feeders and scheduled wet food times, along with fresh water bowls, so meals are always on time. My husband also comes home at the same time each day, providing extra hands and supervision to ensure pets feel safe and attended to. Our home has a predictable routine, which helps cats feel comfortable and secure. I’m able to adjust playtime, attention, or quiet time to match each pet’s personality, whether they prefer independent relaxation or interactive enrichment. My home is a calm, secure space for pets, located in a safe neighborhood. It’s just my husband, our three cats, and me—no kids—so the environment is quiet and low-traffic. I have multiple rooms available to help cats adjust comfortably, so shy or independent pets can have their own space, while those who enjoy company can stay nearby in my home office while I work. Caring for my own three cats gives me firsthand experience with multi-cat dynamics, and I know how to manage interactions to ensure all pets feel safe and stress-free. I maintain a clean, structured environment with consistent routines, monitored feeding and hydration, and lots of attention to comfort and enrichment. Whether your pet needs quiet personal space or friendly companionship, I tailor their care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away.
About: I was a devoted pet parent for 12 years, caring for my yorkies Maggie & Molly from the time they were one through their senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, maintaining routines, and administering insulin injections when needed. While I’m new to providing pet care professionally, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and love I’d want for my own 🐾 I work Monday through Friday 9am to 4pm. I’m in the office every Tuesday & Wednesday and every other Monday. I work from home on Thursdays & Fridays. I can provide pet care both before and after work, with extra flexibility on my work-from-home days ☺️ I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and safe, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away 🐾❤️

About: I've care for almost every kind of pet and treat each as though they were my very own. I have a very special place in my heart for animals and truly believe they are some of the most intuitive beings, and should be treated with the upmost respect. When you book with me, breathe easy with the peace of mind that I will care for your pet attentively, and ensure they feel safe and peaceful while you are away! As a sitter I have experience administering medication, adhering to feeding schedules, keeping pet spaces clean, respecting their boundaries and giving affection. I am consistent and clear when it comes to communication about your pet's wellbeing and status updates! I look forward to learning how I can care for your animal and promote a peaceful environment while you are away :) My current availability is open though that is tentative depending on bookings. I'd love to fit time in my schedule to spend with your precious pets--whether that be house sitting with them or taking them on walks and giving them a snuggle while you're at work I treat both pets and the spaces they reside in with the upmost respect and care. Any instructions you have for either your precious pet or beautiful home we can discuss beforehand to ensure all parties are comfortable.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hardscrabble
Natalee is such a sweet and caring person who genuinely loves the animals in her care. She took the time to come meet us and our cat before the visits started which made us so comfortable. We were gone for an extended period of time and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. We greatly appreciated all of the photos, updates, notes, time, care, attention and love she gave our fur baby. Will absolutely use her again in the future.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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.
