About: I have over six years of veterinary assistant experience. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different sizes, ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable with large dogs and pets who need a little extra patience. My veterinary background has taught me to pay close attention to pets behavior, comfort and needs. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish. I have a flexible schedule right now, so I have time for walks, playtime, or just relaxing with your pets and keeping them company. Caring for my own pet is already part of my daily life and I’ll bring that safe attention and care to yours. As of right now I’m just offering walks, going to clients homes, no overnights at this time unless told otherwise. I’ll respect your home, watch for any changes in your pet’s behavior and keep you updated during my visits.
About: I've taken dog grooming classes. I know how to bathe dogs and trim their nails. I've worked at a dog day care before. There, I helped watch dogs of all sizes and ages and bathe them as needed. I'm currently working part-time, so I have some free time throughout the week to pet-sit, walk, and drop in. I currently cannot board due to my apartment not allowing pets at the moment. I follow what I believe is the best protocol when dealing with animals. When I introduce myself, I like to lower myself to the ground to meet them at their level and try to let them approach me when they want. I love to play and pet animals.
About: I grew up with 2 small dogs who were my life. I was their main caregiver and understand the hard work that comes with them. Work hard, play harder! I would love the opportunity to get to know more dogs and enjoy their company! I am available weekdays after 6pm and am free all day on the weekends. I have more leeway on the weekend, but can possibly arrange early mornings on weekdays. I will not be offering care at my house due to having a small place. However, I ensure safety is practiced at others home by observing their pet and looking for any signs of annoyance or disturbance. I will also ensure any rules or requests from clients are followed appropriately.
“Lipika was the greatest. What piece of mind I had on my trip. This service is so worth it. The pictures and comment go a long way. Last time I asked a friend and I didn’t feel the care that Lipika had. Thank you for great people like her and I will book again for my upcoming trip in June and September!”
About: I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits Monday - Sunday. I am generally available mornings, afternoons, and evenings on most days. I do have classes on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1:00–4:00 PM, but I am available before and after those hours. Outside of that, I am open and flexible and happy to accommodate visits as needed to make sure your cat is cared for and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, routine, and making sure each pet feels comfortable in their own space. I will follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, medication if needed, and any specific routines the pet is used to. I try to take my time with each visit so pets don’t feel rushed or stressed. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and attention or playtime depending on their personality and comfort level. I also pay close attention to their behavior so I can notice anything unusual and communicate with the owner. I of course will also send lots of photo updates so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. Additionally, if needed, I’m happy to help with small additional tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants. And before leaving, I always make sure everything is clean, tidy, and secure. My goal is to keep pets safe, calm, and comfortable so owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 5 years, in addition to training multiple puppies (2 of my own), and learning alongside them. Furthermore, nourishing environment, walks, and love are a constant and guarantee. I’m currently a part time worker, so I have ample amounts of time to nourish, cherish and entertain your pet. Not to mention my sister who directly works and helps with dogs is there to support and watch your furry friend, and provide me support as well. Time people for the price of one. Onboarding is available whenever needed seeing as I’m home throughout the afternoon and night every single day. I have a large fenced backyard, large neighborhood with colds sack great for dog walking, and ample amount of space inside space with air conditioning, to meet all your dogs needs. If at your house, I plan to follow every rule to a tea, respect the home and provide safe trusting service for your furry friends.

“Jasmyn was so attentive to my kitties! We were out of town for multiple weeks and she got my shy cats to come out of their shell. She was communicative and caring and I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Anastasiia took great care of buster! She gives great updates and takes nice pictures. We appreciate everything you did while i was away to make sure Buster was well taken care of.”
“Beyza was incredible while we were away. She was very communicative and took great care of our cat. I highly recommend her and hope she is available the next time we need someone to look after our cat.”
“Ashley was able to take care of our 3 cats last minute. She was quick to respond and super nice. She made sure the cats had everything they needed for the weekend and sent updates with pictures. We’d definitely book with her again!”
“Thank you Haylee for watching blueberry!!! I didn’t even ask for the litter to be cleaned and you took the initiative to still clean it for me. Thank you so much for being a great Cat Sitter.”
About: What truly sets me apart is my nearly 20 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine. As a seasoned veterinary technician, I don’t just provide loving care—I bring a trained eye for subtle changes in behavior, health, and comfort that others might miss. I’m experienced in administering medications, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with medical needs, so you can feel confident your pet is in capable, knowledgeable hands. Beyond my medical background, I genuinely love building trust with every pet I care for. I understand that every animal is unique, and I tailor my approach to match their personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s extra patience for a shy pup, attentive monitoring for a senior cat, or energetic playtime for an active dog, I provide care that goes above and beyond standard pet sitting. With me, you’re not just hiring a sitter—you’re gaining peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for by someone with professional veterinary experience and a true passion for animal wellbeing. Pet care isn’t something I fit into my day—it *is* my day. I’ve intentionally dedicated my full-time focus to providing attentive, high-quality care for the pets and families I work with. This allows me to be fully present, flexible, and responsive to each pet’s unique needs and routine. I strive to offer a concierge-style experience for my clients, with reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and a level of detail-oriented care that goes beyond the basics. Because I’m not balancing another full-time role, I’m able to prioritize consistency, availability, and a calm, unhurried approach—something pets truly benefit from. My goal is to make your life easier and your pet’s experience as comfortable and seamless as possible, while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they are my top priority. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their own familiar environment, surrounded by the sights, smells, and routines they know best. My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care in your home while maintaining the routine and level of attention your pet is accustomed to. Each pet is unique, so I tailor my visits to meet their individual needs—whether that means daily walks, playtime and enrichment, medication administration, feeding routines, litter box care, or simply providing companionship and reassurance while you’re away. With nearly 20 years of veterinary experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including seniors and those with medical needs. I take pride in offering a concierge-style pet care experience with thoughtful communication, detailed updates, and a commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving not only reliable care, but genuine love, attention, and understanding in the comfort of their own home.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since a young age, and it’s truly my passion. I have hands-on experience administering medications (both pills and syrups), treating minor wounds, and providing attentive care for puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience and support. I stay informed about pet health and well-being, and I can also prepare home-cooked meals tailored to their needs. What makes me different is the genuine love and dedication I bring to every pet—I understand they are family. At home, I’ve cared for multiple dogs over the years and currently live with a sweet 3-year-old cat, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs. Your pet will be treated with the same care, patience, and affection as my own. I’m currently working part time so I have off days to dedicate to take care of your lifelong companion with love patience but also responsibility I have a 3 year old cat whom gives me companion and I also take her out for walks every day, back in home she has all the things she needs
“Julie was AMAZING. So so so great at communicating and sending photo updates while she was housesitting. Also extremely trustworthy. We could tell how much our cat enjoyed her company, will definitely be reaching out to her next time we are going out of town ?”
About: Proud pet parent to Chloe, my sweet Maltese Poodle who loves having furry friends over for sleepovers! 🐾 When your pet stays with us, they’ll be temporarily adopted into our family and treated with the same love, care, and attention we give our own. I work short 4–5 hour shifts with a flexible schedule and the option to work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive. I’m also available to provide drop-in visits as needed to accommodate your pet’s routine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work just 4–5 hours a day in the office with the flexibility to work from home when needed, which allows me to plan my schedule around the pets in my care When caring for dogs and cats in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and structured environment tailored to their individual needs. I have a fully fenced yard with a grassy area and plenty of space for dogs to explore and enjoy a nice run. All outdoor time is closely supervised to ensure safety while allowing them to burn off energy and have fun. For cats, I create a calm indoor environment with cozy resting areas, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention. My goal is to make both dogs and cats feel secure, relaxed, and right at home while they’re in my care. 🐾
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have always relied on me to check on, feed, walk and play with their pets. What sets me apart is my professional background in 4-star luxury hospitality and corporate office coordination. Because of this experience, I bring absolute reliability, meticulous attention to detail, and deep respect for your home security and privacy.

I also provide real-time updates and clear photo check-ins after every visit so you have total peace of mind.
“Marianna was such a great sitter! She took care of my house, leaving it more put together than before I left. She took out my trash, figured out the high tech litter situation, sent me cute pictures and even left me with a little card and Polaroids of my kitties. My cats were so mellow and happy when I came home. Seeing pictures of them piled on top of her left me feeling so secure that they were comfortable. I would highly recommend Marianna.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hawthorne
Lipika was prompt and courteous, took notes when we had our initial meeting, was very communicative, and went above and beyond doing a bit of pet cleanup and grabbing our packages when she visited. Will definitely reach out to her for our next vacation and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!
Lindsey is the best! She is always available, reliable, and great with communication. She was able to take care of my cat when I missed my flight and offered to see her more often than I requested as a wedding gift 💝 truly a gem !! She will go above and beyond for your fur baby. Highly recommend.
Sofia rocks! This is our second time having Sofia watch our kitties. She totally helped us out with a last minute care need and she even helped reset our router during the trip when we have wifi troubles and stayed through meal time to make sure the feeders were back up. Thank you again!!
Rebecca is the best cat sitter I’ve ever had. I get nervous leaving my cat but Rebecca sent thorough updates every day, lots of pictures and videos, and my cat looked SO happy and entertained hanging out with her. I didn’t worry at all on this trip, which meant so much to me. Rebecca goes above and beyond with everything and is a lovely caring person. I hope to book with her again!
Maggie was referred to me by a friend who is also a cat mama obsessed with her cats so I knew I could trust her. She took EXCELLENT care of our two cats. She was very communicative and compassionate. She was observant and made sure they always had what they needed. I was actually able to enjoy my vacation because I knew that they were in good hands! I highly recommend Maggie as a sitter for your pets!

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 .
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 .
