About: I have a year and a half of pet-sitting experience through Rover, caring for over 20 dogs, including several repeat clients. I also grew up caring for cats, giving me lifelong experience with pet ownership and animal care. I have experience caring for animals with different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My responsibilities include feeding, walking, maintaining daily routines, providing necessary medication and companionship, and ensuring each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I prioritize reliability, attention to detail, and clear communication with pet owners. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Since I am currently on a break from school before hopefully starting dental hygiene school in the fall of '27, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am able to plan my days around their needs. I am also able to give them plenty of attention and companionship. I am also happy to accommodate different schedules and make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for! Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely (whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, walk routines, or comfort needs). I keep a calm, watchful eye on pets during walks and playtime, avoiding any unsafe environments or interactions with unfamiliar animals if necessary. I also make sure doors, gates, and any potential hazards are secure in the home.
“Sarah did a fantastic job taking care of my difficult cats. I have one shy cat and one territorial cat and they did not phase her at all! I really appreciated knowing they had someone experienced looking out for them while I was out of town.”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I also have volunteered at the local animal shelter in my hometown for the past 7 years, so I have plenty of experience in animal welfare. I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule, so I generally have a lot of time on my hands. This will give me plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am unable to keep pets in my household, so this will only allow me to take care of your pets through drop-in visits, house sitting, or dog walking.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. From a young age, I’ve had the joy of caring for both dogs and cats (my own, family members, friends, and a handful of clients), I truly love what I do. I’m responsible, dependable, caring, and passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I especially enjoy spending time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. I would love the opportunity to get to know your furry friend and provide them with the same love, attention, and care I would give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐶❤️ My availability: Monday: 11:30am-1:30pm, 3:30pm-6pm Tuesday: 11:30am-3:30pm Wednesday: 11:30am-1:30pm, 3:30pm-6pm Friday: 11:30am-1:30pm I am a college student here in Lawrence, my class schedule is typically pretty set, but I can be flexible at times when class is cancelled or put online:) I’ll always treat your pup like I would my own! Safety and trust are my top two priorities with fun for your pup right behind them:) I’m very caring and responsible, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. If you have any specific instructions let me know and I'll be sure to give your furry friend plenty of attention and care! ❤️
About: I have over a decade of dog care experience. I have worked with senior dogs, physically disabled dogs, and all kinds of dog behavior. I have the ability to go on multi-mile walks or just snuggle for hours. Your dog is boss when they’re in my care, and I’ll do anything in my power to make them more comfortable. If you have a very specific schedule or your dog needs medicine at a specific time, I’m your sitter. My work allows me to have very flexible time, and I am never late. Please allow me the opportunity to make your pet parent life a little easier! I work from home full-time, and I have tons of flexibility in my schedule. I can board animals 24/7, and I’m available for at home check-ins whenever your schedule requires. If your dog boards with me, they will have access to my couch/bed, my apartment’s dog park, and miles of local trails. If your cat boards with me, they will have access to my cat tree, scratching posts, and all the hiding holes they could wish for. Your animal will be safe in my controlled environment, they will always be within eye sight, and they will have all the attention they could want. I pride myself on safety, and your animal will have the best care when they’re with me!
About: Since I was a girl, I have been surrounded by animals including chickens, horses, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats, turtles, fish etc. I am a student attending the University of Kansas on a pre-veterinary track in hopes of pursuing a career in veterinary science. Currently, I manage the boarding facility at an animal hospital/ hotel. I have a deep passion for animal care that goes beyond basic needs. I am detail-oriented, organized, and take great pride in my work ethic. I love to keep clients in the loop regarding how their fur babies are doing by communicating any updates, answering questions, and of course sending pictures of your pet! I would like to offer my services to pet parents who are looking for an educated individual, ready to provide a comforting, reliable, and relaxing experience for both the client and their pet. I work a full time job, but I am flexible to be open on certain days. I will just need to know well in advance when possible! Message me if you have any questions! I am extremely detail oriented. I will treat your fur baby with the same kindness, respect, and attention as I do my own. I will be passionate and attentive to your animals, while keeping clients informed and updated throughout their time away. My goal is always to provide an enjoyable & stimulating experience for each animal depending on their individualized needs!
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats since I was 11, including during their illnesses and senior years. Friends and family often ask me to house-sit, feed, entertain, and care for their pets while they are out of town for any amount of time. I have a wide range of experience including kittens, birds, rodents, and large dogs. I currently work part-time/seasonal on a flexible schedule. I am available for all kinds of care outside these hours, including walks, drop-ins, and home sitting. I live in a home with a fenced yard with my three pets, which does not make it ideal for hosting. I do live in a fairly quiet neighborhood where I am able to walk dogs for a long distance without much strain.
“If I could leave Marianna a 500 star review, that still wouldn’t be enough. I needed last minute care due to a medical emergency, and she not only accommodated my need with less than 18 hours notice, but she did so with a level of care for my kitties that I have never experienced before. Within 15 minutes of her arrival, I had photos and videos of all of my babies (which is no small feat in itself), and she continued to provide multiple updates, photos, and videos. She was so so so loving and gentle with my kitties, stayed with them all day and overnight, and gave me the comfort and reassurance I was desperately needing. I will absolutely be hiring her every time I need a sitter moving forward (hopefully sans the hospital stay and ideally for a fun getaway instead). Thank you so much, Marianna. There are not enough ways to express my gratitude!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
