About: Hello there! My name is Donia, but you can call me Nia! I have a passion for animal caretaking and rescue and am pursuing a career in dog grooming while fostering and rescuing in my free time. I am currently working part time at a grooming shop in addition to dog walking and other pet sitting. Believe me, as a dog mom having been held responsible for my pets from the young age of 10, I understand how hard it can be to keep up with the hastle. I have taken care of many different types of pets with different levels of neediness from puppies to elders to special needs dogs and even cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I am known as my neighborhood "dog whisperer". I love providing care for animals in need and would love to give a helping hand to anyone in need. I am also dog and cat first aid certified! Thank you for considering me to help you out and thank you for trusting me with your pets! I am currently working part time and am able to request any day off if given advance notice. I can also care for any animals after work by 3pm. I have a fenced in yard with four friendly dogs, a large home that is able to have separated space if needed. In a client's home I treat their house with respect and leave everything cleaner than when I found it. I treat every single pet as if they were my own!
“Christina was awesome!! She did an excellent job! She communicated with me regularly with updates on how Amber was doing and pics. I will definitely use her again!”
“Pamela took great care of our two cats where we were away. I loved the thoughtful updates and the cute pictures she sent. It was nice knowing that the cats were in good hands when we were gone. 10/10 I would contact Pamela again!”
“Kasper did an excellent job watching our cat while we were traveling. Our cat bonded with Kasper right away and we felt comforted by Kasper's thorough updates during our trip. We will definitely book with Kasper again in the future!”
About: Ive taken care of people's pets while they were away. I even stayed at their house. I am trustworthy and reliable when it comes to taking care of people's pets. I'll make sure the animals are well taken care of especially pets that are older. I currently work full time at a nursing home kitchen as a dietary aide. I usually work 6-2. Tuesdays I work 10-7:30. The only days I am off are Thursdays and Sundays. So anything after 3 is fine and Thursdays I am available all day. I will care for your pets with love and affection. I will walk your dogs and feed them. I will also play with them to get a feel of how they interact. As for cats I will feed them and play with them as well. I enjoy rewarding them with treats.
About: Experienced pet caregiver with over 5 years on Wag and a background in animal shelter work. I’m dedicated to providing loving, attentive care for your furry friends, ensuring they feel safe and happy while you're away Im currently working part time meaning I have plenty of time to fill with some quality time with animals! I also hop on these apps when traveling, and really whenever I have some extra time in my day. I have no pets living with me currently so this means plenty of space for one who needs a temporary home :) I have boarded dogs, cats, and have done sittings at others as well. Being a hiker and active means plenty of walks throughout the day
“Curtis was wonderful with our boys. We are very happy to have found him to take care of them while we travel. Will definitely rebook him for our next trip. He helped take care of our plants as well!”
“Molly was great…..she spent time with Spanky and gave him all the attention he needed! Would definitely use Molly again for pet sitting services….very sweet and reliable!”
“Joyce was absolutely incredible. I needed a last-minute sitter who would be able to administer both oral and ophthalmic medications to my cat, Charlie. She didn’t even hesitate and said she’d be able to do it. She came twice a day and kept me updated with both pictures and texts to let me know Charlie’s improvements while I was away. I knew he was in great, loving hands. I wish I had found her sooner! I will be reaching out to her again when I need a sitter. She’s the best!”
About: I’m on Rover to help you out with any / all your pets needs while you’re away! I work full time as a behaviorist in a public school. I don’t dog train, but I am familiar with any techniques that you may need for your pup! I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I have experience with all breeds! All mutts and senior pups are welcome. I also have experience administering medication to dogs. All dogs of breeds and age deserve attention and love. I’d love it if you let me love your pets as if they are my own too! Thank you for reading this. I am able to work with the families in terms of what they need. My calendar may not always reflect accurately as my times with my full-time job (human) clients do fluctuate. If it is blocked off it means I am 100% unavailable. I don’t recommend myself in terms of full-on puppy training and 24/7 puppy care due to my schedule but I am versed in the training techniques due to my career. I am available weekends for extra care and staying in your home full time. My pets are well loved and taken care of while I care for others. I will never be able to host in my home, so please consider this! I offer in home care, overnight, daily walks, and check ins. Animals will not be hosted in my home due to a senior dog I have who is on medication. For those reasons, home sitting is only available in terms of long care. I have done walks, trips to stores, parks, yard play, and car trips with fur babies for daily drop ins, walks, or overnight stays!
“I am thrilled we connected with Alexis. She loves my boy and he adores her. ? Connecting with Alexis has relieved so much anxiety not only for me but for Bloo while I am away on business. She is so flexible and available when I spring last minute bookings her way. Thank You Thank You Thank You! So grateful ???”
“Jennifer took incredible care of my two-year-old cat, and I couldn’t be happier! This was my first time having someone outside of my family pet sit, so I was definitely nervous — but Jennifer instantly put me at ease. I left very specific instructions and shared my worries with her, and she went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. She kept me updated after every visit with detailed reports and plenty of photos, which I truly appreciated. From her updates and the way my little guy looked in the pictures, I could tell he trusted her completely and felt safe and loved in her care. I’m so grateful I chose Jennifer and would book her again and again without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive, I highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! My name is Courtney and I have always been known as the animal girl/lady and have worked in just about every part of the pet care industry with pride. I am a former master groomer as well as canine trainer, have worked with thousands of dogs regardless of breed, age, or background and have never met a dog, cat or creature that did not love me as much as I do them❤️ From trimming nails to snuggling up with your pup at night, if you choose me to care for your animals, they become my own and part of my family❤️ when applicable, I also do incorporate training into regular walks and drop ins to make life a more pleasant experience for both our furry family members and us humans! I am also well versed in other species from big to small and am meticulous in my care of all creatures. As a trainer and handler I have also cared for dogs during show days at venues, prepped dogs for the show ring and taken dogs to canine sporting events as well as lessons. Lastly, I’m always quick to snap a great photo of a pup, cat or our other family members looking their best, and always love a good impromptu photoshoot to send you! Overall, I am here to support you and your animals to have and be the best you can be as a team, and look great doing it! I currently have full availability to bring any animals into the Courtney’s Cuddles and Care Family❤️ I work from home making dog apparel and service dog gear, so always open for communication and a drop in! I am always happy to go over each individual pets needs and routines and follow them meticulously, as well as incorporate training and/or grooming as needed! Every animal I have the pleasure of caring for becomes a part of my family and is treated like my own. My service dog, Tsunami, is also an extremely well trained, very neutral dog that I am happy to introduce to others that need friends! She is a rough collie, or as many people recognize, a lassie dog!
About: I have experience watching dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I have watched reactive dogs as well as some dogs with disabilities. I am very passionate, communicative, respectful, and flexible sitter. I am currently working a full time job but work remote 3 out of 5 work days. This allows me to be fully attentive to your dog on those remote days. I’m also available during the weekends and in the evenings! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pooches company. With that being said, I can easily separate them as well if need be. Additionally at a clients home, communication, making your dog comfortable, and safety are my number one priorities.
About: I work part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play or give pets if your cat is feeling up to it! I’m available most days - let me know what works for you and we’ll figure it out together. I firmly believe in respecting the boundaries of your cat. If they want pets and playtime, I’m there for it. If they’re nervous around strangers, I can be a quiet presence giving them time and space.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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 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.
