About: Hi! I’m a former paramedic who is currently working helping my family run our small business. I’ve spent my whole life around dogs and cats and caring for animals (and people) has always been a part of who I am. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs, and I’m able to provide care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with cats and dogs that may be shy, fearful, reactive, or considered less than friendly. I understand the importance of patience, reading body language, and creating a calm, safe environment so pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking companion, gentle care, medication support, or simply someone they can trust while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same attention and compassion that I give my own. I’m currently working with my family which allows me to have an extremely flexible and open schedule. Generally available from 8:30a.m-11p.m 7 days a week Long walks and backyard or park playtime. I am comfortable caring for pets with special medical and physical needs. I can provide basic grooming if needed for pets that will allow.
About: What sets me apart as a pet caretaker is my experience. I have started and trained puppies, maintained pets care and their training, and I have assisted senior pets in their finals years and moments. I worked on a farm, was a live in pet nanny where I aided in their well being and trained dogs, I have had dogs my entire life, trained dogs basic commands for the animal shelter, and I currently volunteer at an animal shelter! To say pets well being is my passion is an understatement! I even study dog breeds to make sure each dog gets the best care they can. I currently am super free because I am on summer break from college. I am open and available for your pets whenever you need! My schedule is super flexible. I will treat your home with the upmost respect, that is a guarantee. I will keep it clean and tidy. I am available for lots of play and walks with your pets!!
“Brooke did such a great job! This was my first time using Rover and I’m so thankful I found someone who was trustworthy while I was away from home. It’s obvious how much she cares about animals and will treat yours like her own. She even brought in my packages and took photos to share on every trip to my home. She happily checked in on the fishy and took the dogs for walks which is so appreciated!”
“First time using a pet sitter for my cats, I was very nervous about it but Berkeley was the absolute perfect fit! My cats loved her immediately and she was not only punctual, communicative, professional and friendly, but also went above and beyond to care for my animals and leave me confident I had made the right choice. Will definitely be booking her for all my future vacations! ♡♡”
“I could tell once I came home my dogs (2 big 65 lbs boys) were super happy and relaxed after Ernest's visits. He is great with communication and I feel has proven to be very dependable. You can see he loves dogs and dogs love him. I look forward to working with him again in the future.”
“Ana is a fantastic cat sitter! She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of my kitties while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, puppy care, senior pets, or plenty of cuddles, I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care. You can count on regular updates, clear communication, and the peace of mind that your furry family member is in caring hands. I work a full-time schedule but have availability before and after work, evenings, weekends, and most holidays. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority to provide dependable, attentive care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive the love, exercise, and routine they’re used to. I always communicate with pet parents and provide updates for peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel secure and stress free. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and exercise routines while keeping a clean, safe environment. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I treat my own and provide regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Kyla was so communicative the entire time we are away! The pictures and videos she shared definitely left me feeling comfortable and confident that our chatty friendly kitty was being well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kyla and will be rebooking for sure!!”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I currently live on a farm with cows, pigs, chickens, cats, and my very sweet bloodhound/border collie mix dog. I’m currently in between jobs at the moment, so I have plenty of time and energy to devote to walking and playing with your pets! I strive to follow your regular routine(s) with your pets as closely as possible to make their time away from you less stressful on them.
“I can’t say enough good things about Mahaila. From our very first meet and greet, it was clear how much she genuinely loves animals—my girls warmed up to her right away, which never happens! She was attentive, patient, and incredibly thoughtful every step of the way. While I was away, she kept in consistent contact, sending updates and the cutest pictures—my dogs looked so happy and relaxed, which gave me such peace of mind. It’s hard to trust someone else with your pets, but Mahaila made it easy. I’ve never felt more confident leaving them in someone else’s care. She’s officially our go-to now, and I’m so grateful we found her!”
“Rachel was fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated with photos. It's clear that she is an animal lover; she took her time and never rushed. I didn't have to worry about anything while I was away. My dog was happy and well cared for, and I will definitely be using her services again!”
About: I have 6 kids- 3 of those are dogs. I am very familiar with walking, feeding and the loving needed to keep them happy and healthy. I am available evenings and weekends and with advanced notice can have addl availability. Last minute availability also possible.. Feel free to ask. Holiday availability possible too. I do not board dogs and will not bring other dogs to my home. But i am willing to sit at your home and ensure your pet is safe and happy.
“OMG, where do I start! Yanni and her partner was EXCELLENT! I wish I could give 100 stars for their dependability and effort! Yani even fixed my back sliding door blinds that I couldn’t figure out how to do for the past year, LOL! I will definitely use her again, my fur baby just loved her!”
About: If you want to get away for that well deserved vacation or just a 3 day weekend and feel secure in knowing that your fur babies are being lovingly cared for, then I’m just who you’re looking for! I have loved dogs (and most animals) my whole life. I think of them as a family member, not as a pet. I will remain calm around your loved one as not to cause any anxiety. Even though I don’t have a dog at this time, I have had many dogs throughout my life. I can hardly remember a time that I didn’t have one. My best friend (a Boxer named CC) had quite a few medical problems from 2010 through 2015 and I had to give her an average of 17 pills a day. (Sometimes less). So I’m pretty experienced as far as that goes. My schedule is very flexible and I am very reliable. I am flexible about allowing your pet on furniture. If that’s not allowed I will follow your wishes 100%.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
