“Absolutely above and beyond! She is the sweetest ever and truly cares for what she does. She keeps you updated throughly and gives you that peace of mind for when you're away from your fur babies! Definitely will be booking again!”
About: I grew up training and showing dogs! I've also been a trusted volunteer dog walker/foster parent for local humane societies in the past, taking care of dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages! My family frequently fostered litters of puppies as young as 6 weeks. I also have plenty of experience with seniors and the specific health problems that come with that, after loving my cocker spaniels right up to the end. Life doesn't allow me to have a dog of my own at the moment, so I'll jump on any chance for some pupper love! I daylight as a professional wildlife biologist, but I am currently between jobs and so have all the time in the world to give your four-legged companions! My schedule is wide open. Safety is, of course, the highest priority, and reading animal body language is the key to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for your pet and avoiding stressful situations. This is a skill I feel very confident with after so many years of varied pet care. Second to safety is fun! Whether that looks like a brisk walk, a casual stroll, a laser pointer, a game of fetch, or just getting some relaxed quality time in is entirely up to your pet. Regardless, I'm happy to fulfill their needs.
“I texted Marjorie the same day I was supposed to leave town and she got back to me in less than 20 minutes which was amazing as I didn’t have to search for long. She was very accommodating and easy to reach! She sent me great pictures of my fur baby and I was able to enjoy my weekend away without worrying about my pets! Definitely will try to book with her the next time I need a sitter!”
“Aspen took amazing care of our house and pets while we were away. Her communication is excellent and she is so thoughtful and considerate! We would book her again anytime and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats ever since I was little and I’ve always had a love for all animals! I have always pet sat for all of our family friends and neighbors since I can remember. I’m currently attending classes at Tech to go to vet school! I love spending time with animals and my roommate and I have 2 dogs, 2 ferrets, and a cat! I love being able to spend time with animals in any type of way and provide all needed goodies and good times for them to experience!
About: I’ve been watching animals for ~8 years now, but I’ve had my own animals since birth! I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs, cows, chickens, goats, fish, and more. Family friends and neighbors rely on me for help with their animals. I work a full time job, but am available in the mornings, evenings, weekends, and for overnights! I will always work to make time for your animals! I do drop ins and stay with pets frequently in other peoples home. I am consistent with my care and love to meet new animals.
“Ciera and Bam always do a great job taking care of my cats when I travel. My trips have gotten a little longer so having reliable good daily care for my sweet girls gives me a lot of peace. Thank you Ciera and Bam!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for many years in all sizes from toy to extra large. I also work with birds, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I have veterinary assistant experience and love all furr babies with all my heart! I'm available on weekends and most evenings to care for your sweet babies. I do have a full time job that keeps me away from home during the week. I have a large fenced yard or can crate your baby if needed. I follow instructions to the letter if I visit your home to care for your baby.
About: Hello I’m Ashton! I grew up in Central Texas and throughout my life I have had several pups all the way from a Great Dane named Samson to a Miniature Schnauzer named Roxi. One of my babies just left this world and his name was Dakota he was 14 and the most handsome old man. I now have a 8 year old Great Dane/ English Mastiff named Bronson. I definitely would love to watch over your pup and get to make your pups happy while you are away! If your dog needs a little more care just call or text me and I’ll do everything I can to meet your pups needs. I look forward to meeting your fur baby.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12, friends and family relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their dogs. I've taken care of puppies and love all sorts of animals even reptiles! I have also worked professionally as a dog bather so if you would also like your fur baby to get a bath or if they are good for nail trims then I can help. I'm available anytime and day I'm needed to play with puppies or spend time with your dog or cat, walk them or even just to spend time with them. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow the pet’s regular schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications they may need. I spend quality time with them so they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away, whether that means playing, giving attention, or just keeping them company.

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.

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 .
