About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14, watching over neighbors’ and others’ animals, including dogs, snakes, a bearded dragon, and cats. I’ve also had cats of my own since I was 8—four in total—and currently care for two on my own. What makes me stand out as a sitter is my ability to connect with animals, especially those that take time to warm up to new people. I’m patient, observant, and always prioritize their comfort. Whether it’s recognizing subtle body language, engaging in enrichment activities, or simply providing calm companionship, I adapt to each pet’s individual needs. In addition to pet care, I work full-time as a nanny for young children (ages 4, 2, and 6 months). This experience has strengthened my attentiveness, patience, and ability to balance multiple responsibilities at once—skills that also translate into pet care. I’m experienced in maintaining structured routines, ensuring safety, and providing comfort, which makes me well-equipped to care for pets with different personalities and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering not just basic care but also companionship and reassurance. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make them feel at ease while you’re away! I will have to go home to feed and spend some time with my two kitties, Pumpkin & Hazelnut, but I also always find time to spend time with your pets as well. Some days I work in the afternoon/evening, and some I work during the day. My work schedule is listed below. Monday 4-8pm, Tuesday 8-3:30, Wednesday 1-8pm, Thursday 8-3:30, Friday 8-3:30 I provide pet care in the comfort of your home, ensuring your pet stays in a familiar and stress-free environment. Every pet is different, so I follow your specific routines, guidelines, and house rules to keep things as consistent as possible. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walk routines, playtime, or medication needs, I prioritize your pet’s well-being and comfort while respecting your home. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take extra care to follow any instructions you provide, from home security measures to special pet needs. I also keep you updated with messages, photos, or check-ins so you have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care so your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their own space.

“Sabrina is absolutely incredible! Leaving my cat while traveling can be stressful, but knowing they were in her hands was a huge relief. It is so clear that Sabrina truly loves animals and treats them with such care. I felt completely at ease the entire time I was away. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”

About: Hi, I'm Becca! By day, I am a full time teacher, and in the evening I love hanging out with dogs! Animals have been one of my greatest passions since childhood, and I have spent my entire life caring for my furry friends. I am currently saving up for my upcoming wedding by doing what I love most: making sure your pets are happy, safe, and loved while you are away! Experienced with dogs of all ages. Can administer basic medications such as pills and injections. While I spend my mornings and early evening teaching I am available most days after 6pm. Most Weekdays and major holidays are typically available. Same day bookings are more than welcome. I pride myself in safety and privacy. I have been a teacher for 9 years and have experience making sure up to 38 humans are safe and taken care of at one time. I treat pets no less than I would treat a student.

About: Hi! I’m new to Rover and so excited to start meeting all of your adorable fur babies! While I’m new to the app, I have 4 years of experience caring for pets. My goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, and comfortable experience while you’re away and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship. I’m happy to follow their normal routine and any special instructions you provide. I’ll treat your fur baby like one of my own and keep you updated with plenty of cute photos along the way! 📸🐶🐱❤️ I can’t wait to meet them! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the week.

About: Animals have always been my passion, and with 17 years of hands-on experience, I’ve seen it all…from high-energy puppies to independent cats and senior pets who need extra love. My day job as a therapist means I don’t just care for your pet’s physical needs; I’m an expert at reading their unique personalities and managing their emotional well-being (and let's be honest, sometimes a little separation anxiety is real!). Whether your fur baby needs special diets, medication, or just an aggressive amount of belly rubs, I’ve got it covered. Expect plenty of photo and video updates while you're away so you never miss a beat! Pet care is currently my main focus as I navigate pursuing my career goals. I’m dedicated to providing exceptional care and can structure my day according to look after the pets in my care. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended care, I’m open to collaboration in adjusting my schedule to ensure your pets get the attention and love they deserve. Creating a safe and trusting environment for the pets I care for is my top priority. I start by taking the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and needs. Building trust begins with patience and gentle interactions, allowing the pet to approach me at their own pace. I use positive reinforcement and calming techniques to ensure pets feel comfortable and relaxed in my care. Communication with pet owners is also key—I make sure to keep you informed with regular updates, so you know how your pet is doing and can share any specific needs or changes. By combining attentive care, consistency, and open communication, I create an environment where pets feel safe, loved, and confident in my presence.

She followed instructions to a tee and our dogs immediately got along well. Will definitely reach out again for future pet services!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, which has taught me how to truly understand them, their body language, their moods, and their needs. I know all the signs to watch for during walks, from when they’re curious and excited to when they might be anxious or tired. My experience helps me ensure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to each dog’s unique personality. Caring for dogs is naturally part of my daily routine because it’s something I truly enjoy. I plan my days around giving each dog the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s a morning walk to start their day right or an evening stroll to wind down. When walking your dog, I focus on safety, comfort, and fun. I follow your instructions carefully whether it’s leash preferences, potty breaks, or special needs. I keep a close eye on their behavior to make sure they’re happy and relaxed, and I always bring fresh water if needed. Your dog’s well being is my top priority every step of the way.

About: I have been an avid animal lover since the day I was born. I have always had dogs around and have been consistently relied upon by friends and family to help take care of theirs (much to my delight!). I have experience with cats, dogs, and more! I have cats currently, however, I have had dogs (from small to large !). I even worked at Petco and helped take care of the animals there !I took care of my golden retriever through some illnesses and have comfortability with medication as well. All that to say- I would love to get all the animal time in and be there to help take care of your extra family members :) I work remotely so if you need someone there for your buddy for long periods- I got you! I start work at 3pm so I can dedicate some extra quality time with them before that ! I want your and your pets to feel the upmost comfort and care with our time together - whether that’s through text updates, sending you photos or just setting clear goals for your pets during our time together !

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for over 12 years and have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. Growing up, my family had Pekingese and Pitbulls, and I loved walking and caring for them. I recently cared for a Yorkie puppy who was learning to potty train and needed consistent practice with basic commands and tricks. I currently have two cats of my own, and friends, relatives, and neighbors have often trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I’ve also helped my aunt care for a pregnant cat and her foster kittens, including feeding, cleaning, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’ve also read extensively about why cats may be nervous or afraid of strangers and how to approach different cat personalities in a calm and respectful way. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My goal is always to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. ❤️ I have flexibility in my schedule for pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays after work, as well as weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide reliable, loving care while you’re away. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort and treat every home with care and respect. For drop-in visits and walks, I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet has everything they need. I’m also happy to take extra time to help shy or nervous pets feel comfortable with me. I’m happy to also take extra time to play with your pet if they feel comfortable to.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and feel very comfortable around them and very in-tune to their needs. I also worked for Midtown Mutts for a year prior to Covid and going back to school (many of the dogs I walked then are shown in my gallery). Not only do I view pets as family members and a whole lot of fun, I also view them as lifelong friends and would take special care that they are always safe, comfortable, happy, and loved! I am familiar with many different breeds and know what different needs this entitles for each. I am available for specific needs as requested by the owner, such as extra walks or special diets and will respect these. I love to take dogs on runs, to the dog park, or on long hikes if the owner permits. I hope you will consider me for your next dogsitting need! I am currently working from home and self-employed, so I am very flexible with my hours, available nights or weekends if needed, and can work around tricky schedules. I have a daily routine with my own dog and cat, so am very aware of pet routines and their importance. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and energy level, whether that means active play and walks or a quieter, more relaxed approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining consistency—feeding on schedule, refreshing water, administering care as instructed, cleaning litter boxes or pet areas, and providing companionship and enrichment. I respect the home and any specific instructions provided, and I make sure pets get attention, reassurance, and positive interaction while their owners are away. I am attentive to pet behavior and wellbeing, communicate clearly with owners, and will provide updates as requested so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My goal is for pets to feel secure and cared for, and for owners to feel peace of mind.

About: Hi! I go by Aspen! I’ve raised and cared for animals of all shapes and sizes since I was young and I work at a dog boarding and daycare facility. I’ve trained and raised puppies, I have experience with senior dogs and cats and I have lots of experience with reactive dogs or temperamental kitties. I’ve been trained in administering medication and I love all fur babies! I work 5 days a week between 6-8 hour shifts, but other than that spend most of my time at home. When I’m not at my job I will be able to give your animal lots of love and company while you’re away. I am active and love to take your pups on long walks and/or give them tons of play time if that’s their thing! I also love cuddle time with my senior pups/couch potatoes. For overnight stays your fur baby will get walks, endless cuddles, and lots of play time! I love animals being in my personal space and by my side all the time. Send your clingy pups my way!! For Drop-ins and in-house stays I ask that I meet the animal first. For walks I do around 30-60 min per walk. If you have a high energy dog I am happy to incorporate fetch or runs!

About: I've owned and grew up with a great number of dogs of all sizes and life stages! I've been around German Shepards, Pit mixes, Pomeranians, and chihuahuas and all the Mutts there is! I'm always willing to play and walk them, administer oral and topical medications. If your dog needs support socializing or need more training time I'm more than happy to help! As for the summer, I do with full time 8-5:30PM until August 15th. As for the rest of the year, my schedule will possibly change or be the same Winter and spring schedule TBD In my home, I have a senior dog who loves to be alone at times, or be at my side. He's more comfortable with smaller dogs. I also have a shelter dog I'm training as well. If you'd like to have me come to your home, I can provide walks, training and cuddles for your pups! I also have 3 years history administer medications to even the most stubborn dogs there is.

About: I love playing with and walking dogs. I am also a cat lover. No matter the pet, I like to get to know them, what makes them unique and how I can win their affection. I have been watching friends and family’s pets for the past 7 years and grew up taking care of a dog and a few cats. I have experience with younger and senior dogs, senior kitties and being around kittens basically 24/7. I’ve administered medication to foster kittens and have fed a very picky senior cat. I would be honored to help keep your pets happy and healthy and would do whatever I can to make them feel loved and cared for. I am happy to visit for feeding, walks or playtime during your busy work day. Friday-Monday require a couple days planning in advance. I’m currently looking for a full time job, so I’m very flexible. I am happy to meet whatever the needs are for your pets, whether feeding, playing, brushing, medication. I love playing with pets and giving them pets. Give me clear instructions and I will be set. I am unable to host/board pets due to my apartment rules.

Christy is a fantastic sitter! She watched our two cats while we were on vacation. Christy is dependable, responsive, and trustworthy. She communicated with us each day sending lots of pictures and provided a thorough report card. She took great care of our house too. But most importantly you can tell how much she loves animals, and she took excellent care of our cats. She not only did the basics but really took time to give them love and attention. We highly recommend Christy!

Audrey did an amazing job watching our cat for almost three weeks. When the cat got sick, she communicated with me very well. She ended up taking her to the vet for me and we did a voice call with her, the vet and myself. In the following days she kept me well informed and I appreciated her opinion as to how things were going. Will continue to use Audrey for my cat sitting as I trust her totally.

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.

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.
