“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Justine. I had a sitter no show the morning of my trip and was honestly panicking. Justine stepped in with only a couple of hours’ notice, came right over, asked smart, caring questions, and immediately put me at ease. My two rabbits, Bunbun and Baby, have very unique care needs, and I’m normally pretty nervous leaving them. Justine was attentive, communicative, and so thorough. She kept me updated every step of the way, check-ins, updates, and tons of photos every day. She even brought my garbage can back in from the street, which was so thoughtful. What impressed me most is that Bunbun and Baby seemed to warm up to her faster than they usually would with someone new, which says everything about her calm, patient energy. I felt completely comfortable having her in my home and for the first time, I was able to just enjoy my vacation without worry. I’m so genuinely grateful Justine was there. She turned what could have been a disaster into such a positive experience. Reliable, compassionate, and above and beyond. Thank you, Justine!”
About: I absolutely love animals and will treat your babies like my own while you’re away. I have experience with senior, special-needs, and anxious pets, so unusual routines, extra patience, or a little extra care don’t scare me! My biggest goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re doing great. Also, I’m a chronic photo taker, so expect lots of cute updates of your baby! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work from 7:30 AM–4:00 PM, so early morning walks and potty breaks are always welcome (they honestly bring me joy). Outside of work, I’m happy to check in as often as your pet needs. Need a late-night or even 2 AM potty break? I got you! Weekends are even better because I’m available all day to give your babies plenty of attention, walks, and love. I care for every pet based on their normal routine and individual needs. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else that makes them comfortable. I’m very patient with anxious, senior, and special needs pets, and I’ll never force interaction if they need space. Most importantly, they’ll get lots of love, attention, and of course plenty of photo updates!
“Gabriela was very attentive to my dogs. Made me feel much better that they were still getting attention each day and they were not losing out on anything. I will definitely be using her in the future for trips and she was very responsive and followed all directions as requested. She was a pleasure to meet before the trip and have the dogs meet her and she was happy to get down on their level and help them to get to know her and they got more and more comfortable as the days progressed. Thank you so much Gabriela we appreciate you so very much!”

I'm also very comfortable and experienced taking care of cats. I work Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, so I'm available for evening pet sitting after 4:00 PM on weekdays. I also have full availability on weekends! I welcome both dogs and cats for drop-off care! I have a large, fenced backyard in a quiet neighborhood, and I can crate your dog upon request.
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, kittens dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors friends and family have relied on me to check in, feed and play with their pets. I am currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and or cats. I am available to care for your pet or pets on weekends, weekdays and holidays.

About: Hi! I’m Linda, a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for providing compassionate, reliable care. Growing up with dogs, cats, and bunnies all my life, I understand the unique personalities, routines, and needs of pets big and small. My background working in senior care and being a big sister to two younger siblings has given me a natural instinct for patience, attention to detail, and safety. Whether your furry family member needs gentle company, active play, or meticulous daily care, you can rest easy knowing they are in gentle, experienced hands! I’m available mornings 7:30am until 10:30am and late afternoon/nights 7:30pm-10:00pm and all day Tuesday/Wednesday , we can work on your time ! I focus on keeping your pets as comfortable as possible by sticking closely to their normal daily routines. During my visits, I handle feeding, fresh water refills, litter box scooping, cage or habitat maintenance, exercise, and plenty of personalized attention or play. Because I currently care for five cats at home and have looked after various types of animals throughout my life—including dogs, bunnies, and cats—I am deeply familiar with managing different temperaments, dietary needs, and handling subtle changes in pet behavior. I also ensure your home remains safe, secure, and clean while you’re away
About: I have cared for a multitude of animals for family and friends. I am punctual and provide service to fur babies while their parents are gone. I am currently a stay at home mom to a toddler. He loves dogs. I am up early in the day and go to bed later at night. I have cared for many pets numerous times for friends and family. I am dependent on providing the best service to fur babies. Snuggles, walks and tail wags guaranteed.
About: Hi, my name is Celeste. I have had many years of dog experience being a dog owner myself for my whole life. I know that our babies are family and they should be treated as such. They deserve to be treated with kindness, love, and patience. An animal is a gift (even when they’re crazy, ahah). I recently came across many videos online of what happens when we leave our babies with people, and it broke my heart, so I wanted to step out and be the difference. I want you to know that your little piece of family that you’d be leaving with me will always be safe, cared for, protected, and loved. It’s a big step of faith letting a stranger watch over your fur baby, but I want to make sure both you and them are comfortable in every possible way that you need. I know that every owner and every baby is different, and I’m willing to adapt to it all. If you do choose to let me take care of your baby, whether it be for the day or for a long stay, please know they are in the safest possible place they can be 💖. Thank you, and God bless. I’m currently part time at my job and my schedule is very open. I would have more than enough time for walks, playing, and treats. If you let me know in advance I can work out anything on my schedule ☺️ flexibility is one of the pluses on my belt. I have a fenced yard, and a Dog run. I also have crates available if they’re needed. I have 4 fur baby’s of my own that are very friendly and would keep ur baby company. Depending on how ur home is and what ur baby’s schedule is, caring for ur pet in ur home will always vary on you but like I said im adaptable to anything. Any questions? Feel free to ask ♡ !.

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 .
