About: I have 26 years of experience caring for pets in shelters, boarding facilities, training environments, and veterinary settings. I’ve had the privilege of working with animals of all ages, personalities, and needs, and I truly enjoy building trust with each one. My approach is calm, patient, and gentle, with a focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my routine, as I work at a veterinary office daily until 5 PM. I am available for evening visits, walks, and drop-in care during the week, and overnight care is also available on weekdays as long as I am able to attend my work shift the following day. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent, reliable, and attentive care. I provide pet care exclusively in my client’s home to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment and daily routine. I follow each owner’s specific instructions closely, including feeding, walking, litter box care, medication administration, and enrichment time. I also monitor behavior and overall wellbeing, paying attention to any changes that may need prompt communication with the owner. My goal is to provide calm, consistent, and attentive care while maintaining the pet’s normal routine.

About: I have a huge passion for animals and wildlife and am a very active and dependable person. I have 10+ years of experience taking care of pets from dogs, cats, lizards, rabbits, fish, you name it! I have also helped care for monarch butterflies at work, raising,tagging, and letting them go! I dog walked for a short period of time when I was younger and have taken care of my sisters dogs for long periods of time. I currently have 6 kitties who I love and care for so much! I am friendly, passionate, and communicative, I treat all pets with a high amount of care, they are family! I currently work full time as a land conservation assistant. Right now I am available weeknight evenings anytime after 4 pm work best for me, as well as any time (mornings or evenings) during the weekend days Sat-Sun. I have experience distributing medicine both pill and liquid forms to mine and others animals. And have also taken care of many outdoor cats, setting up insulated shelters with straw, feeding, etc. I take my sisters dogs for walks often, and have walked plenty of dogs. I have a huge love for walking myself, my favorite downtime activity, so they will get lots of exercise if that’s what you’re looking for! I can crate, walk, play, feed, and give medicine to any pet that needs.

About: I have experience in home health care for the elderly, often providing support that extends to their pets as well. My experience with pets have been primarily dog walking for clients, feeding, pet/home maintenance I’m currently making myself entirely open to this experience into pet care as to making this my career. I enjoy being connected more with present life, and I feel as taking care of animals would set me on that track. I offered care to pets by fulfilling their needs, wants, and offering companionship. I also intend on extending care to making the environment more hygienic for the pet.

Mackenzie was wonderful. Great communication and we loved the daily updates. Gave us great comfort knowing Birdie & Sam had Mackenzie checking in on them every day. Sam requires medication and Mackenzie was able to ensure he got it exactly as needed and when he needed. The kitties were well cared for and happy. We’d absolutely have Mackenzie care for our fur babies again and recommend her care for others.

Charity was wonderful at communication while we were away and our cats weren’t as shy with her as they usually are! She was thorough with her notes and listened to instructions well. We appreciated her caring for our girls while we were away and would recommend her.

Yvonne was lovely with our kitty. He immediately was prepared to give her attitude and love, which takes time with most people. We were so pleased with fun detailed check in notes and the care he received.

This was my second time having Nicole as a sitter. My cats now look forward to seeing her which I love, and obviously is a sign she takes good care of them during the drop in visits. She always takes lots of pictures and let me know if there’s anything I should be aware of. She even got my maintenance team to replace the batteries in my smoke detector because she was worried about the noise being stressful for my cats. Truly a great sitter!

This was my first time ever using a petsitter. I was worried that with Lily needing a pill crushed up and added to her food that it was going to be hard to find someone. Chloe was amazing. I gave her all the instructions, showed her where everything was and she showed up on time for each meal. We take weekend trips here and there and I'm hoping this will be the start of a great connection for Lily and Mistletoe.

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.

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 .
