“As always, Colleen was great. Daily visits and photos to show how well my cat was being treated. Additionally, she took the job over the holidays when I really needed to go out of town for a family matter and I didn't know if I would be able to get a cat sitter. She's the best!”
“Christine showed up on time. Fed Nellie and took her for a walk around the yard. Played for a bit then returned her to her cage. We were very satisfied and will use Christine again”
About: I’ve been a pet mom for over 40 years and have spent more than 30 years caring for pets for friends and family. My mom runs a cat rescue and is a former vet tech, which gave me a strong understanding of proper, attentive pet care from an early age. I’m also a trusted real estate agent with over 23 years of experience, which reflects my commitment to being reliable and trustworthy. I take pride in being genuine, well-liked, and someone people can depend on. I have a flexible work schedule and am highly organized when it comes to managing appointments and commitments. If I am unable to assist, I will always respond promptly so you can make other arrangements without delay. I am happy to provide care in your home and follow all instructions you provide to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and needs, and I take care to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special requests exactly as directed.
About: I've owned and taken care of dogs my entire life and know from experience they are truly family. My goal is to always treat them that way. Whether your pup is social or shy, energetic or a couch potato, I'm ready :) I'm up for talking them for walks, playing in the yard, getting some energy out, or just hanging if that's their speed. I am currently off for the summer so my availability is very flexible. I will have my son with me at times, but he is very used to dogs. My pup is my furbaby, as is yours. Whatever your house rules are for the yard, furniture, or anything else, I'll follow that. I'm comfortable with leads, crates, or regular leashes.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple different animals including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and bunnies. I have experience with young kittens, even syringe or bottle feeding. I’m a fast learner and love all animals and I would be happy to take care of your beloved pets! Home from college for the summer with all the time on the world to take care of your animals! Any day or time works for me! I will play, pet, and cuddle your pets all day long! I love going on walks and enjoying the fresh air with your furry friends!
About: I have grown up with pets all my life, from cats and a dog, to a lizard! I have experience with pets with medical conditions (medications + some special care), from my own pets, and pet sitting for others. I have been pet sitting for my neighbor’s 2 young corgis for the past 2 years, as well as another neighbor’s 2 cats here and there as needed. I treat everyone’s pets as if they’re my own, and give them ample amounts of love and play time. My family currently has a senior dog (springer spaniel) and older 2 cats, with 2 of them being on daily medications, so I truly know the importance of a routine and how to convince them to take a pill! I am open to care for any animal that comes my way, but I definitely have a soft spot for kitties :). I am currently free most days, so I have plenty of time to fit in your pet(s)! I also have my own car, so I’ll always have a reliable means of transportation to and from your home. I care for other’s pets as if they’re my own. I start out slow and cautious to learn the pet’s behaviors and boundaries, and then venture into different types of play and experiences. Just let me know what your pet needs, and I will happily oblige!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jarrettsville
Kerry was always punctual in her arrival and provided updates daily on her visits with Luna along with photos. Luna is a very nervous rescue so she’s not always cooperative but it seemed that Kerry was able to gain Lunas trust enough to provide the care needed. I would definitely recommend her services.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Jarrettsville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
