“My pup has been doing really well with Jen! We've only had a few sessions so far but she is helping him learn better manners and helping him walk on the leash better! We love her :)”
“Amanda’s great! She is so personable, kind and caring of our pets! Our dogs loved her! We loved seeing our pup’s photos every day while on our trip and we were always kept informed of any changes!”
“Kathryn did a great job with Pookie and Pumpkin. She shared updates and pictures. I feel she is very trustworthy. She took extensive notes during our meet and greet visit. She followed all of my instructions.”
About: I have been caring for dogs of all sizes since I was 11 years old, starting with friends’ and family members’ pets. I also volunteered at my hometown Humane Society for four years, where I gained valuable hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. Growing up, my family participated in a foster program, where we cared for a mother dog and her litter of five puppies. That experience gave me a deeper understanding of the patience, dedication, and specialized care dogs need at every stage of life. For the past 4 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work professionally with dogs, and it’s a career I’m passionate about continuing. I’m also a proud dog owner myself, so I understand the trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I strive to treat every dog as if they were my own, providing them with the love, attention, and care they deserve. Dog sitting and boarding is currently my full-time career, and I truly love what I do! Animals have always been my passion, and I’m grateful to have turned that passion into a profession. I have worked at three different doggy daycare and boarding facilities, serving as a Dog Handler, Shift Leader, and Assistant Manager. These roles have given me extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy levels. Throughout my career, I’ve gained valuable knowledge in pet behavior, safe group play, feeding routines, medication administration, and providing individualized care to ensure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Every experience has strengthened my passion for working with dogs, and I’m committed to providing the highest level of care for every pet entrusted to me. My husband and I share our home with two wonderful dogs, Woody and Bee, who absolutely love making new friends! Woody is our German Shorthair Pointer. He’s playful, gentle, and full of love. He has accompanied me to doggy daycare facilities and has experience interacting with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. He is incredibly social and enjoys making every dog feel welcome. Bee is our Golden Retriever, and she’s as sweet as can be. She loves cuddles, making new friends, and having fun with other dogs. Her calm, friendly personality helps other pups feel comfortable and at ease. We live in an apartment with a spacious living area where the dogs can play and relax indoors. Outside, we have a large grassy area directly across the street that provides plenty of space for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I take the dogs outside every 3–4 hours (or more often if needed) to ensure they stay comfortable and get plenty of fresh air. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. If your pup is crate trained or requires crating for their routine, I’m happy to accommodate that. Otherwise, they’ll be treated like part of the family and receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and, of course, all the cuddles they’re comfortable with!
“This is the second time we've had Julia check in on our cat Gizmo for multiple visits. She always sends great photos of how well he's doing and even fixed our automatic cat feeder this time and completely changed out his litter for us! We love Julia and so does Gizmo!”
“Kierstin took such wonderful care of our Dandy! She was responsive in terms of communication & accommodating to his specific puppy needs. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Mallory was amazing with our cats! Usually mine are shy but they really enjoyed her company. She was super flexible even with our very last minute booking. She is so sweet and kind! We will definitely be using her in the future!”
“KayLee helped us out, pretty close to last minute for a drop in, and what huge relief! She made us feel comfortable and asked a lot of questions about our dogs before we confirmed the booking. Not feeling anxious about someone else caring for my babies is priceless! We will definitely reach out to her again for future needs.”
About: I have had cats or dogs my whole life. Have loved animals as long as I can remember. I like animals more then most people. I have had 2 dogs in my life and both have passed away so I'm ready to love on other dogs without the responsibility of ownership I currently work full time but am free most weekends. I'm willing to feed, water and scoop litter. Can let dogs out before and after work some days. Animals seem to like me and I love to give pets and cuddles. I am experienced in health care so could give meds if needed
“You took great care of my kitty! I loved the updates and thanks for cleaning up a bit. I am disabled from work right now and I will always appriciate help. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Horace
Amanda was an amazing caregiver for my four cats while I was on vacation for a week. She visited twice a day at our agreed‑upon times and always followed up with photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Two of my cats are typically very fearful of new people, but after just a few days they were completely at ease around her. Animals truly recognize kind, caring humans, and Amanda is absolutely one of them. We met before my trip so she could get to know the cats, and I felt comfortable with her right away. She has a kind, easygoing personality, and it was lovely chatting about her own pets too. She also needed to give one cat a transdermal med on her ear for hypothyroidism twice a day and she was very comfortable with providing that for my kitty! If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet carer, Amanda is the one to choose. I couldn’t recommend her more.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
