About: Ive always been a lover of animals and my family and I have rescued multiple cats and dogs since I was little. Ive learned how to take care of even pregnant cats. I usually wake up around 8 am to feed my cats and clean their litter boxes at around 10 am. I come back at around 12 pm for a little snack and by 8 pm they have dinner and I clean the litter box for the second time. I keep a clean environment so that my cats are able to roam freely and I dont have to worry about them getting sick. Cats can get bored as well so I play with them and even talk with them.

About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. I love dogs, cats, and everything in between. I have plenty of experience and love to give! I trained my animals at a young age and I am extremely attentive to all animals. I have a set work schedule so I can reliably care your pets during the work week. I’m off on weekends so I’m available for onboarding as well. I have a huge yard for dogs to run around and a large neighborhood to walk the dogs as well. I have enough space in my home to dog sit and cat sit. I also have a lot of space for cats to roam around.
“Vaneesha is a must book! She took care of our babies for a last minute trip and sooooo put our minds at ease! This was also our longest trip apart from our newest kitty and she made sure we were kept in the loop the entire time. 10/10!!!”

About: Lifetime of experience with dogs and cats, 5 years of furster care for puppies (training, love, and preparing them for their forever homes), and puppy love. I work full time, but making sure they start and end their day with love is important. Walks in the evening and weekend adventures are options. I have a fenced in yard for watching my parents animals. My own never miss a day of snuggles and play. If your furbaby stays at my home it will need to be cat friendly and would be safe downstairs where there is plenty of room to play. Giving all animals a safe space.
“Sherry was very communicative about our pets and even noticed that our alarm had an error on it and fixed it. She brought in the mail too. One of our cats prefers to be outside so she didn’t see him but made sure that his food was eaten so she knew he was ok.”


About: With over 15 years of pet care experience, I’ve cared for senior dogs, puppies, dog-reactive pets, and animals with unique needs and personalities. As a boxer owner, I’m confident with large, strong dogs. I am currently in nursing school, but I have a flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, including mornings, afternoons, and many evenings depending on your pet’s needs. As someone who has my own pets, ensuring that every pet is safe is the most important thing to me. I will always follow any instructions regarding entering and exiting the home, as well as any specific routines, feeding schedules, or safety precautions. I am attentive, respectful of your space, and committed to providing a calm, secure environment for your pets at all times.

“Kayla communicated thoroughly and provided excellent care to my two senior dogs. She rolled with the punches when there were accidents and kept me informed. We will definitely be booking with Kayla again in the future.”


About: I have been working at boarding facilities, vet clinics,rescues and animal shelters since I was 16 and am currently working on getting licensed to be a vet tech. I have done both shelter work and TNR. I have handled countless scared, aggressive, anxious, rambunctious animals as well as disabled and medicated babies so I have plenty experience with handling animals of all kinds! This is my passion; I do my best to provide the best care that I can for your pet! I am trained on animal behavior and medical care. I have plenty experience with elderly animals and pets with health concerns. Anything else you'd like to know I'd be happy to answer any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of spare time to spend with your baby! I am usually naturally an early riser and a bit of a night owl so I am prepared for lots of different schedules and routines. I follow each animals' schedule to the T if possible. As well as providing treats and enrichment throughout the entire visit! I also make sure to give them lots of attention and accommodate any sleeping arrangements your animals are used to.
“Vanessa is a gem!!! She took such good care of my kitty like it was hers. She gave her snuggles And love and that’s all I can ask for. She was great about updating me every day! 10000% going to use again!”

“Ben was fantastic! Starting with our meet & greet, he went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and more importantly that he was prepared to give the best possible care to my pet which he absolutely did. I so appreciated his daily notes and photos and could tell how comfortable and safe my cat felt with him. I would absolutely rebook!”


About: My preferred name is Leo. I've been caring for animals for most of my life. Growing up, I was responsible for helping care for three family dogs, including feeding, walking, playing with them, and making sure they were happy and well cared for. I also grew up around cats, as my mom had several throughout the years, so I'm very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and personalities. Today, I have a cat of my own, so I understand the daily responsibility and attention that pets need. I'm patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to keep them safe and comfortable while you're away, I'll treat them with the same love and care I give my own pets. My schedule is very flexible, and I'm available seven days a week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I work on my own schedule, so I can usually accommodate last-minute bookings as well. Whether you need someone for a quick check-in, daily visits, overnight care, or extended pet sitting, I'll do my best to be there whenever you need reliable care for your pet. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I keep my home clean, organized, and pet-friendly. I currently care for my own cat, who is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and well loved. I make sure all of my houseplants are non-toxic to pets, keep anything potentially dangerous out of reach, and provide plenty of toys, enrichment, and a cat tree for play and relaxation. I'm attentive to each pet's individual needs and always make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean space, exercise, affection, and plenty of attention. I also have experience helping cats socialize through supervised playdates with friends' cats, so I understand how to create a calm, safe, and positive environment. I'll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own.
About: Our family has had two very sweet cats for over a decade. We love them so much. I can always tell how they feel based on their nonverbals. I am happy to rearrange my schedule to meet the needs of the pet parent. Happy to work recurring gigs as well! Please feel free to request drop ins, sitting, and walks. I’m happy to feed, walk, and clean up any messes that your fur babies may have made. If you have any specific requests please don’t hesitate to ask!
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, from smaller breeds to large. I’ve worked at two dog daycares before, working with training dogs; grooming( nail trimming and bathes). My love for animals is very endless, they are better than people sometimes XD! I care for my own animals, so pet care is already a part of my daily routine! I work part time, otherwise my attention is focused on my fur babies at home. My apartment complex has an designed area with ample room for activities that my small dog enjoys and could be offered to my clients. I am flexible, and am great at accommodating to the many different personalities that animals may possess. I have worked at multiple dog boarding facilities that have allowed me to practice caring for many dogs at once and assessing each of their needs individually and accordingly.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for animals and the care, patience, and attention I give each one. I believe pets are family, and I want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and understood. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, respecting their routines, and making sure they receive the attention and affection they deserve. I have experience working with Rover, and I understand the importance of being dependable, communicating with pet parents, and treating every pet as if they were my own.

My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while making sure their furry family members feel happy, loved, and well cared for. I currently work a morning job with a hybrid schedule, which gives me some flexibility throughout the week. My afternoons and evenings are generally pretty open, making it easier for me to schedule pet care, walks, drop-ins, and quality time with animals. I enjoy being around animals, so pet sitting is something I would love to incorporate into my routine. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents ahead of time to coordinate schedules and make sure their pets receive consistent, attentive, and loving care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions provided by their owner. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and patience while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their fur babies in someone else’s care, so I believe in providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to treat every pet with the same love and consideration I would give my own while keeping their environment clean, safe, and stress-free.
“Kayla did an amazing job looking after my floofy girl! She sent pictures with each visit and provided me with daily updates on how my cat was doing. I would highly recommend using Kayla for your pet sitting needs!”

I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

I’m very mindful of feeding schedules, medication instructions, and maintaining consistency to reduce stress. What sets me apart is my reliability and communication. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

I am fully available on weekends and can give pets extra attention, longer visits, and consistent care. I prioritize safety, comfort, and a calm environment for every pet. In your home, I follow your routines closely, keep spaces secure, and make sure pets have fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and plenty of attention. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly, clean, and secure environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at ease. I always supervise interactions, manage any special needs or medications, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and happy.
About: Hi! I’m Patience ! With over 10 years of experience caring for pets—ranging from energetic puppies to senior cats—I treat every pet like part of my family. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets need tailored care to feel comfortable while you're away. A typical day in my care includes a morning walk, plenty of play sessions with chew toys, and quiet cuddles in the evening. For seniors, I focus on gentle, short walks and ensuring they have soft bedding and a calm environment. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have company throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, allowing for frequent potty breaks every 2–3 hours and mid-day play sessions. I usually take a longer walk in the late afternoon to help them burn off energy before dinner. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I require a meet-and-greet to ensure we are a perfect match. I only communicate through Rover for your security and mine. I am highly observant of behavior, ensuring pets are never put in stressful situations and that their environment is secure.

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 .
