“Angela was amazing! This was my first time using rover and I was so nervous! Still learning what works for my new baby and she provided tips, left him with a toy , sent lots of amazing pictures, and spent time playing! It made me feel good knowing he was in great hands while I travelled, will be booking again in the future.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals and currently have two dogs. I can help with potty training and reinforcement of basic skills like sit, stay, and down. I have experience with dogs of all sizes ranging from 10 to 100 pounds. I work fully remote so I am able to drop in throughout the day and I’m off on weekends. I also have two dogs that are friendly and love getting to meet new animals. I make sure to take long walks with plenty of time to sniff around and explore. Outdoor enrichment is just as important as playing inside with a toy! I’m also happy to work on and training you’ve been doing at home, just let me know what commands you use and I will stick to those.
About: I will care about your pets like they are my own. They deserve the best care and best time during their lives. I can give medication to pets if needed as I have a senior cat of my own. I'm currently working full time 4 days a week, but would like to branch out and work with animals again part time. I am available friday-sunday. I will make sure they have fresh water & clean bowls, feed them when needed, make sure they are safe and clean. If they have accidents I will make sure to clean them up. I will walk dogs and check in with them, clean up after them, and give them water/ treats/ food when requested. I will make sure cats litter is clean and fresh, they have access to clean water, and feed them/ play with them during drop ins.
About: When you choose me to care for your pet, you’re choosing a passionate and experienced pet lover who prioritizes not only your pet’s comfort and happiness, but also your peace of mind. I understand how important your furry family member is to you, and I strive to provide them with the same level of care, attention, and love they receive from you. While you’re away, you can rest assured that your pet is in safe, caring hands, with updates provided to ensure you remain connected to their well-being. I have experience caring for younger animals with energetic needs who require frequent playtime. I’ve also dedicated time to caring for senior pets, providing them with gentle exercise, extra comfort, and making any necessary dietary adjustments to support their health and comfort. Currently, I care for a 17-year-old cat who requires more delicate care. Additionally, my background includes working with anxious pets, where I’ve applied my professional clinical experience to soothe, calm, and build their confidence, helping them feel more secure in unfamiliar environments. I work from home and run my own business, so my availability can accommodate you and your pet’s needs. I’m flexible with scheduling and can provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs midday walks or frequent drop-in visits, I’m happy to help make things easier for you. I will offer whatever service and care is most similar to your pets current environment. If you would like them crated, I am able to accommodate. However, if you are more comfortable with your pet having more freedom within your home or my home, I am happy to provide that environment as well!

“Laura was great! She sent the cutest photos during every visit and actually spent time with our cats. She was attentive, punctual, and followed the plans. Great care- thank you Laura!”

Pet care is the heart of my daily routine — it’s not just something I do, it’s what I love. I’m a full-time pet sitter, so my schedule is centered entirely around the pets I care for. I plan my day based on walks, drop-in visits, feedings, and quality time with each pet in my care. Because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to give each animal consistent attention, whether it’s a long walk, a play session, or a quiet cuddle. I treat every pet like part of the family, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, clean, and safe environment with plenty of love, attention, and play. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and I follow each pet’s feeding, potty, and sleep routines to keep things familiar and stress-free. I limit the number of pets I take at once to ensure personalized care and comfort. In clients’ homes, I respect your space and care for your pet according to your exact instructions — feeding schedules, medication, crate routines, walks, and more. I take time to build trust with your pet and always provide updates and photos so you know how they’re doing.

“Great to have watching over my cats. One of my cats is a senior while the other one is young, she was able to take care of both and send me updates on a daily basis on how they are doing. Will definitely book again in the future”

About: Since my original bio, I've fostered sickly bottle baby kittens. I have experience in administering oral medicine and feeding babies, but I also have experience in general care thanks to volunteering at an animal shelter. I'm looking to go to school to be a vet tech, but I'm always researching ways to improve my care. I've taken care of both family and friends' pets since I was little, and I very much love being around and caring for animals. I get along well with any cat, and can also help with bathing if needed. I have plenty of free time, as I'm currently self employed and love getting to play with animals. Cats are my favorite, and therefore I have the most experience with them. I'm very rigid on pet care. Daily litter box cleanings, multiple feedings and making sure water bowls are clean. I'm very laid back as well, so I can give a relaxing atmosphere.
“Erica did a fantastic job watching our cat while we were away. She gave daily updates, lots of pictures, and we are already trying to book her for our next vacation. Highly recommend!”


About: Hello my names Addison and I’m 25 years old. For the last seven years I’ve been a senior caregiver until my client recently passed away. I’m looking to start pet sitting to fill my spare time. I’ve had dogs my whole life (small and large) and also have experience with cats. I even have experience working with reptiles and salt water aquariums. I currently reside in Northern Maryland on a corn farm with my two dogs. My husband works from home and can watch our dogs, so I can attend fully and give your animals full attention/if needed overnight. Thank you in advance for your consideration. I’m currently only pet sitting so your pet will have my full attention! Im also available for overnight stays if needed. I’m fully available on weekends as well. Pets under my watch will always get enough potty breaks and lots of love and attention. I know every pet is different and i try to mimic as close as I can to your pets routine you already have in place so you can be worry free on your vacation or trip!
About: Hello! I have taken care of dogs my entire life, there is no animal too big or too small. I've cared for dogs ranging from shetland sheep dogs to huskies.

About: I specialize with big dogs and elderly dogs. I'm a taller guy with a longer walking stride so larger dogs can get more for workout. My schedule is daily throughout the whole day.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who treats every pet like a cherished member of the family. My hands-on pet care experience includes: Senior Dog Care & Special Needs: Over a decade of caring for senior dogs—including my own 10-year-old Chiweenie—so I’m deeply familiar with gentle handling, administering oral medications, adjusting to slower mobility, and sticking strictly to sensitive dietary routines. Feline Companionship: Experience managing feeding schedules, fresh litter maintenance, playful engagement, and reading cat body language to ensure they feel safe, calm, and respected on their own terms. Daily Walking & Exercise: Dependable, safety-focused dog walking structured around your pup's energy level—from brisk neighborhood walks to relaxed sniffing strolls. Balancing work, family, and daily commitments means my schedule is structured, reliable, and predictable. Because I manage my daily routines with clear flexibility, I can seamlessly integrate high-quality pet care into every morning, afternoon, and evening. Peace of Mind: Complete in-home reliability with clear communication and detailed daily photo updates after every visit, so you always know your fur baby is safe and content.

About: Hi! My name is Emily. I am 18 years old and a huge animal lover! Growing up in a busy household with four siblings, I’m very used to a high-energy environment and know exactly how to stay calm and organized when looking after pets. I love pet sitting because it’s a great way to give dogs and cats the individual attention they need while giving owners peace of mind. Some of my favorite things to do are coaching softball and going to church, so I’m naturally active and love being outdoors for dog walks—but I’m just as happy staying inside to keep a cat company. I currently work part-time, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my weekly routine. I am happy to help with feedings, exercise, litter boxes, and of course, plenty of belly rubs or chin scratches. I’d love to help look after your furry family members! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pets' needs. I am very organized with my weekly planning, so I can easily coordinate feedings, walks, and playtime around my softball coaching and other commitments. I’m happy to work with you to create a consistent routine that ensures your pet feels loved and well-attended while you are away. While I don't have a fenced yard, I am very diligent about keeping dogs securely leashed during all of our outdoor potty breaks and walks. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of supervised exercise and playtime while staying safe and comfortable in my care.
About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and love getting to know each pet’s individual personality. I grew up with a Lhasa Apso for 14 years and became her primary caretaker during her senior years, giving me firsthand experience caring for an older pup and adapting to her changing needs. I’ve also fostered both dogs and cats, including a Schnauzer/Poodle mix and a young cat with medical needs. While fostering, I’ve administered medication, supported recovery, and adapted enrichment activities to keep pets comfortable and engaged throughout different stages of healing. I also have volunteer experience caring for cats and understand the importance of reading an animal’s body language and respecting their boundaries. I’m happy to give an outgoing pet plenty of attention and affection, but I’m equally comfortable giving a shy or cautious pet the space and patience they need to feel safe around me. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, as well as cats, puppies, and senior pets. Above all, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine as much as possible, including their normal feeding, potty, walking, playtime, and medication schedules. I want pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own space, so I follow each owner’s instructions and their pet’s established routine as closely as possible. I pay attention to body language, respect boundaries, and never force interaction with a pet who needs some space or time to warm up. I’ll keep their environment clean and tidy, make sure they have fresh food and water as instructed, and provide walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or quiet company based on what they enjoy. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed.

“Erika and Nikita are the ladies that you want caring for your pet! They are extremely thoughtful, professional, and true animal lovers. I will look forward to working with them again.”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. My family has owned dogs throughout my life, and I currently have two cats of my own. Through both personal and family experience, I have cared for pets of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I am a responsible, dependable, and caring person who understands that every pet has unique needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I will make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets while you’re away, and I strive to provide reliable care and peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a high school athletic trainer, my schedule becomes much more flexible during the summer when school is out. This gives me additional time throughout the week to dedicate to caring for pets and ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I enjoy staying active, so incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins into my daily routine comes naturally. As a pet owner myself with two cats, I understand the importance of consistency and reliable care. Whether your pet needs a quick visit, a long walk, or extra companionship while you’re away, I have the time and flexibility to make sure they are well cared for and comfortable. I do not take care for animals in my home due to two cats already at home. In your home, I will be respectful of your space and the time that I have with your pet

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Joppa
Fantastic sitter; highly, highly recommend!! Calailah was very kind to our two kitties even when Orion wasn’t very kind to her at first. Orion usually doesn’t like new people but he warmed up to Calailah in one day- the fastest he’s ever warmed up to someone! Will definitely be reaching back out next outing!

The last time my family and I went away we had to put our pets in a daycare and our dog got sick so our experience with putting them in a daycare was tainted. So this time around I chose Rover but I was very nervous about It however after speaking with Haylee I felt much better and confident that things would go well. She did just an amazing job and she sent reports every step of the way. I was so thankful that I was able to leave our pets home this time around and will do so moving forward. Highly appreciated Haylee and would definitely recommend!

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 .
