About: My love of animals eventually became much more than just having pets of my own. I started pet sitting and fostering for a rescue, and that experience is what led me into veterinary medicine. For over a decade, I have been working in a veterinary hospital, where I gained years of experience caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. My veterinary background taught me to pay attention to the little things. I’m comfortable caring for multiple-pet households, senior pets, puppies, giving medications, and pets who may need a little extra patience or attention. I also know the importance of noticing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility or just those little signs that something may not be quite right and communicating those concerns to the pet owner. When I visit your furbabies, I want their routine to stay as normal as possible while you’re away. Some want to play outside, some want a good game of fetch or a short walk and some would much rather spend our visit getting belly rubs and snuggles. I’m happy to follow their lead or the owners instructions. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s hands. I take that responsibility seriously and will care for your furbabies the way I would want someone to care for mine. I have a flexible schedule and I am available to offer drop in visits in the morning, mid afternoon and/or evenings. I can accommodate multiple visits per day if needed. Every pet and home is different, so I follow the routine and safety practices you already have in place. Whether your pet is crate trained, uses a fenced yard, needs to be on a lead or leash outside, or has other specific instructions, I’m comfortable adapting to what works best for them. I’ll make sure doors, gates, crates and leashes are secure, keep their environment clean and comfortable, and follow your feeding, medication and care instructions. My goal is to keep your furbabies safe, comfortable and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away.
About: I’ve had animals as part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I currently share my home with an Australian Cattle Dog and two rescue cats, including a senior cat with special medical needs. Supporting her through her golden years has deepened my appreciation for the patience, compassion, and individualized care that every pet deserves. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and hamsters. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, young and active, or a senior who needs a little extra attention, I’m committed to providing care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. One of the advantages I offer is flexibility. I work remotely and can often bring my laptop with me, allowing me to spend more time with your pets during the day than many sitters can. I’m available for drop-in visits, pet sitting, companionship visits, and extended care while you’re away. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re trusting someone with your beloved pet. I’m happy to provide regular updates through text messages, photos, videos, or phone calls—whatever helps you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is simple: to care for your pets as thoughtfully and lovingly as I care for my own. During Summer: I’m very flexible. Monday through Thursday - available all day Friday - 4:00pm to late night Saturday - available all day Sunday - available from noon to late night Every pet is unique, and I believe the best care starts with understanding their individual needs, routines, and personality. Before caring for your pet, I take time to learn about their feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions you would like me to follow. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to help reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I make sure pets have fresh water, receive meals as instructed, get appropriate exercise and attention, and have a clean environment. I am also happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel confident your pet is doing well while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, safety is my top priority. I carefully monitor interactions, provide a calm and comfortable environment, and ensure pets have access to fresh water, appropriate exercise, and plenty of affection. I always follow owner instructions regarding feeding, medications, and routines. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, pets with special needs, and administering medications as directed. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall well-being so that any concerns can be addressed promptly. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: As a true animal lover, I've taken care of several different kinds of pets over the years. I worked as a vet tech for 8 years and still miss it to this day. I am extremely comfortable with administering medication and am happy to sit pets of all ages! I am a cat mom to a 16 year old spoiled rotten fur baby. I work from home and am available for drop in visits or walks anytime. I have a very calm demeanor and like to work with seniors and shy pets as well! I'm currently taking a break from healthcare and would like to make pet sitting my full time job. I am available anytime, any day. I have taken care of the pets of friends and family for years. I am willing to clean up any messes or accidents that may have occurred and I will treat your home like it is my own. I am a bit of a neat freak, detail oriented and I know that routines and time of day is of extreme importance to pets.

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
