“She was fantastic with my cats and at working with me when my flight got cancelled. She went above and beyond even what we requested and my kitties loved her :) 12/10 would recommend”

About: Hi there! My name has since changed to *Romeo* as I am queer :) Ive had experience with all sorts of animals since I was a young! My heart however has always lied with dogs. Ive lived with, trained, and taken care of dogs from age 15. Professionally, I am currently a counselor at Camp Bow Wow! I’ve been working there for over a year now, learning and applying a wide range of skills. In this role I’ve learned some key skills on how to ensure companions are safe and happy: 1. Body language: I observe everything from your dog’s head to tail to minimize reactivity due to human- animal misunderstandings 2. Health indicators: although I’m not a vet, I was trained to recognize irregular symptoms a dog may be displaying such as stool texture and consistency, body temperature, excessive panting and drooling, gum color, etc. Anything your dog may be struggling with from itchy skin to something greater, I’ll notify you right away! 3. Communication: parents love hearing about their babies and seeing them happy and comfortable! By regular communication, this allows me to get clear instructions to follow, assess any changes needed in care or routine, and stay up to date in case of any rapid changes or emergencies. In addition, what sets me apart is my artistic attention to detail, which allows me to adapt to your dogs needs in a creative way. I like to challenge myself by finding ways to stimulate and enrich your dog while you are away! I’m very relaxed, quiet, and easygoing, but also spontaneous and go-with-the-flow should your dog get the zoomies! I’ll get mine out with him :) Lastly, I respect peoples spaces/ privacy and always clean up behind myself after using something in your space. I'd love to give your dog my unconditional love and undivided attention. Your baby is not just a pet, they are our best friends who depend on us. So Relax while you’re away, and leave the fun stuff to me! Looking for regular/ recurring clients :) I currently work part time on weekdays, twice a day for up to 7 hours. This is subject to change within the next few weeks to ensure I have time to House sit efficiently. Please reach out to me with questions about this, and I’d be happy to negotiate! I love being outside, especially in the company of some furry friends. I understand that your dog may either be a nature pet or a couch potato, and I'm able to adapt to your pets needs depending on their personality. I'm clean, quiet, and active when need be. Cleanliness is a priority for me. Cleaning up waste properly and right away is a must, including picking up poop during walks.
About: I’m a responsible and attentive pet sitter who understands how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry little buddies. I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to medium-sized dogs and large dogs, so I’m comfortable adjusting to different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. My friends joke that I’m a “dog magnet” because dogs tend to warm up to me very quickly. One of my favorite parts of being around dogs is the energy exchange that happens through play and companionship. I really enjoy building that connection and making them feel comfortable and cared for. I will follow your care instructions closely and do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent while you’re away. And I’m happy to send regular updates and photos at whatever frequency works best for you. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can usually accommodate both weekday and weekend visits. I know pets do best with consistency, so I make an effort to keep walks, meals, potty breaks, and check-ins as close to their usual routine as possible. I’m happy to discuss timing in advance so we can find what works best for your pet. I know how much trust it takes to have someone care for your pet and enter your home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, walking preferences, medications, crate or door routines, and any special precautions you’d like me to take. I will always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and settled before I leave.
About: First, what sets us apart is that we can provide pet care for many animals, not just dogs and cats. If you are someone who needs care for all of your pets such as fish, birds, and small rodents. We are very comfortable with that and we think it would be fun to provide those services too! We have been dog sitting together for friends for over the past 7 years. Kate has been for over 20 years. We live in Rochester and are "all in" with pet care. James works at an elementary school and helps out at home in the evenings. Kate is a full-time student working on her dissertation. We are able to house sit at our clients house and we fit our daily routine with wherever we are at in the city. We always make sure that the area is “pet-proofed”. Meaning that there are no choking hazards or other things that they can get to. Keeping the home tidy and clean is very important to us.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 15. Family, neighbors, friends, and even bosses have turned to me for their pet care. I have a 9-5 job. I am available Sundays and Saturdays, and have flexibility on Mondays and Thursdays. I may also be flexible on an as-needed basis. When I pet-sit for others, I respect/adhere to their criteria (e.g., indoor cats are kept indoors, dogs needing fences are kept in fenced areas, etc.). With my own cats, I make sure they get all the cuddle and playtime they need. I do the same when dog-sitting (my sister's Golden Retriever is a bundle full of energy!) I feed my cats wet food twice a day and ensure that their dry food and water bowls are kept filled. When pet-sitting (dogs or cats), I always follow the feeding routine as requested by the owner. I always pay close attention to pet behavior, being mindful of any unusual behavior. I make sure to let the owner know of such behavior to determine whether any emergency action is needed. I am also very chatty with all pets, so rest assured that they won't feel lonely!
“Corwin took very good care of my two 15 year old Munchkin Cats. I had him do overnights since Mochi, the female needs medication daily. I rarely go away more than 4 days and I was very comfortable leaving for over a week. Corwin sent me many photos and I could see how both cats loved him being around! I definitely would recommend Corwin to take care of your fur babies! 😻😻”

About: I grew up with labs, one who lived to 14 years of age. After adopting my own dog, 3 years ago she was diagnosed with Addison's disease which requires a monthly vet visit and daily pill. If your dog needs medication while you’re away, I’m willing to administer it. I work 10 minutes from home and look forward to visiting my dog on my lunch break. She could use some company while I’m at work. I’m a single mom with shared custody of 2 kids, ages 3 and 1. Your dog must be comfortable with young children. It would be a pleasure for me to look after these important members of your family. I will be sure to send you many pictures and notes! I work full time M-F, however if you’re in my radius I would love to provide drop in visits during my lunch break during the week. If you would like me to board your pet, let’s chat! If you’re boarding with me, your dog must be friendly with young children (I have a 2.5 year old & 1 year old) and will be spending the day with my dog, Brinlee! I keep my own dog on leash and if we are comfortable meeting other dogs, I always ask the other owner first only if I know my dog is okay with it! My dog is welcome on my bed at night and sits on the couch next to me. If I’m caring for your pet, it’s important that I pass the sniff test. Let’s set up a meet and greet!

About: We have a secure fenced backyard for supervised play and potty breaks. Dog hangout and sleep in the living room so they are always near people and part of the home. I’ve raised my own dog from a 2-month-old fluffball into a grown German Shepherd, which has given me firsthand experience caring for dogs through different stages of life. I also trained him to be friendly with my 3 cats, so I understand the patience and socialization it takes to help dogs & cats feel safe, comfortable, and happy at home. Available to check in on pet care every 2-4h daily on weekdays and weekends. I’m able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, playtime, and drop ins. Your fluffy friend will stay in a clean, calm house with a secure fenced backyard for safe potty breaks and supervised outdoor time. Inside, I have extra rooms that can be used to create separate space when needed. Safety and comfort come first!

About: I was born and raised to love dogs. I grew up in a household that bred Rottweilers and I could not be anymore grateful for the lessons of love and care for animals it instilled in me. I began caring for other's pets when I was in high school. Over a decade later I have had experience in short and long-term overnight care/house sitting, day-visits, walks, and some medication administration for pets of all ages and sizes. I have a special spot in my heart for senior pets and giving them the extra love and care they deserve. I know that every home and pet has unique needs and ways to be taken care of. I believe with clear communication I am able to approach each new pet care situation with confidence that we can both feel when you leave your loved ones in my care! I am currently just working part time and have lots of flexibility/weekend availability. I love to take early morning walks with dogs, especially given that it's summer I keep the heat in mind and have availability during the cooler hours. I have reliable transportation to come to your home! I am a very organized and clean person so if I am welcomed into your home I assure it will be treated with respect and care. For walks I believe I am very observant and aware of my surroundings, ensuring safety for both myself and your pet(s).

Nicole took great care of our senior cats while we were away. She left detailed Rover cards with pictures which we appreciated. Nicole messaged us with any questions and responded timely to our questions/responses. We would recommend Nicole and hope to book with her again.

They’re so good with my two cats. I was a bit shocked that my skittish one was open to coming up for treats and such after only my second booking with them! She normally never comes out for sitters. I think that a skittish cat willing to come out out when she HATES new people says a lot more review wise than anything I could say as an owner.

Jenna was fantastic with drop-ins for our cats while we went on a two week getaway. Our oldest needs oral medicine twice per day and he can be quite finicky, as cats are, and she handled it with ease. It was great seeing her photo updates of playtime each visit and knowing that both of our cats took to her in short order (even the ultra shy one!). She was very communicative and reliable throughout. I would definitely recommend Jenna and we will happily be repeat customers for any future trips!
Holly is wonderful! We were lucky she was available for a couple last-minute drop-in appointments. She texted back quickly. Our cat, who hates to be held, needs to have her paws dipped into a medication solution for as close to 5 mins as possible everyday. Not only was Holly unfazed by this task, but she was more successful with it than we often are! She is clearly familiar with animal behavior and is willing and able to adapt to pet’s personality to keep them healthy and happy. She adjusted her approach as she went based on her observations, which let me know she was really paying attention during visits. Holly is also communicative and easy to talk to. 10/10 would recommend

Jessica took care of our 2 cats for 4 days, stopping in once/day. Our cats are very social with one in particular needing a lot of love. She made sure to communicate regularly (included pictures) and was very responsive to my texts. She seemed very thorough and left the kitties well taken care of. Thank you, Jessica!

We're so grateful to Lana for taking care of our kitty babies while we were away. She's responsible, reliable and very pleasant. This was our second time leaving our cats in her care. Knowing that she was there let us enjoy our vacation without worrying about home. She's wonderful!

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 .
