About: Hello! My normal day job is in the field of wildlife biology, but I enjoy pet sitting while in between jobs. I was the primary caretaker of the dogs, cats, and other critters in my house growing up! Since then, I've fostered and boarded cats of all ages, raised kittens to be ready for adoption, and have extensive volunteer experience with dogwalking and handling dogs. I've also taken care of birds, fish, and scaly critters! While in between work contracts I am super flexible. When I am in a contract, I work in the daytime, but am free most afternoons a week for dogwalking. My work schedule is fluid, so I have some weekdays available on a case-by-case basis. Your dog will always be safely on-leash when outside, and will always have their ID info on them. The home is pet-proofed and if your pet is alone, they can be crated to make them feel safer.
“Amber was so sweet and calm. She took our dog Iceman on a walk with no issues. Super kind and just got the impression of a loving person to dogs. Easy to schedule and flexible with our schedule. Would highly recommend to anyone in the Naples area.”
“We recently had the pleasure of working with Dawn to care for our tuxedo cat, Coco, while we traveled abroad for nearly three weeks, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Dawn was communicative, thoughtful, responsible, and incredibly consistent with her check-ins. She sent regular updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind while being so far from home. What stood out most was how comfortable we felt having her in our home and caring for a cat we love so deeply. After meeting Dawn twice before our trip, we immediately felt at ease — and throughout our travels, it was clear Coco was being cared for with genuine gentleness and attention. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for cat made all the difference after an extended trip abroad. We’re so grateful for the care Dawn provided and would absolutely hire her again for “baby”-sitting duties in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable to care for their pets. :)”
“I got stuck at work and wasn’t able to make it home to feed my kitties their lunch. I reached out to Joana last minute and she was so quick to respond. She made it to my home in time and my kitties loved her. She was so sweet with them and very gentle. Will definitely be reaching out in the future. Thank you Joana you are a life saver.”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and understand that pets are more than just pets—they’re family. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in treating them with the same care and kindness I would give my own. I am currently a college student and work evenings Monday through Saturday from 3:30 PM to 10:00 PM. Because of this, I am available for pet care services between 7:30 AM and 3:00 PM on those days. I am dependable, organized, and committed to providing attentive care during my available hours. I’ve been around animals for most of my life and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve owned several cats over the years and currently help care for a small dog. I’ve also spent time looking after multiple dogs for family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“We were new in town and had a long trip out of state planned. Needed a sitter for our kitty. Very happy we found Rover and connected with Ciara. It does seem that she and our kitten enjoyed each others company. When we travel again, we will definitely reach out in hopes that Ciara will be available.”
About: I've taken care of all types of dogs throughout my life, personally owning a large Newfoundland and an Australian Cattle dog, so I have experience dealing with extremely high and low energy breeds. Im a life long animal lover who is currently pursuing my undergraduate in Animal Sciences with a focus on pre veterinarian medicine. In the past Ive dealt more with larger zoo animals like wolves and lynx's but Im always a sucker for some cute dogs. Im currently working mid week, Im available for boarding at any time however during M,T,Th,F bathroom breaks will be limited to 4-8 hours. During weekends and Wednesdays Ill be available to give your furry friends all the attention they need throughout the day. I live in a condo with no designated yard however there is an unfenced yard available for use and dogs will be taken on frequent walks, at least 2 times a day but this varies on your dogs needs. Im open to all dog sitting styles so if you like your dog crated at night or left to roam around just let me know. If your dog has specific preferences or needs please just specify before dropping them off.
“Tamesha took wonderful care of our puppies. We appreciate how she kept us updated and sent videos. We will definitely call on her to watch Asher and Summer whenever we are away from home.”
“Karen did a great job watching my dogs. They were well taken care of. She handled my senior dog, made her feel comfortable. Even brushed their teeth regularly. I would definitely recommend.”
“Alec did a fantastic job watching our dogs while we were away. He came over beforehand to meet them and was kind, respectful, and very thorough. During our trip he sent regular updates and pictures, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands. I really appreciate his professionalism and care, and I’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: As the proud owner of a beloved Chihuahua for 17 years, I understand that pets are truly family and deserve patient, loving care. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and special needs, including seniors, puppies, and pets requiring extra attention. I have a calm, gentle approach that helps anxious animals feel safe and comfortable, and I’m confident administering medications and providing attentive care for pets with medical needs. I currently serve as the Treasurer of my HOA, where I successfully advocated for and helped establish policies allowing emotional support animals in our community. I treat every pet with the same compassion, respect, and care I would want for my own. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my current lifestyle because I have a very flexible schedule and the ability to dedicate my full attention to your pets and home. I’m currently between professional opportunities, which allows me the time and availability to provide consistent companionship, walks, playtime, medication administration, and attentive care throughout the day. I truly enjoy being present with animals and love creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while their owners are away. Your pet’s routine, happiness, and well-being will always be my priority. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. When caring for your dog in your home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and lots of love. I’m comfortable with crate training, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, senior care, special needs, and administering medications when needed. I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, habits, and comfort levels so I can provide personalized care while you’re away. I will treat your home with the same respect and care I would want for my own, keeping your pet safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.
About: My whole life I have loved animals, ranging from large to small, old to young, laid back to energetic . I do have my own pet a 8lbs chihuahua-Yorkshire terrier mix and have had many animals growing up so I am very familiar with connecting and taking care of animals of all kinds. From having my own pet I have learned all about taking good care of her, feeding her healthy food, playing with her and giving her tons of attention to make her feel her best. I also have experience administering oral medications and taking the dog to the veterinary for care. I have also fostered a puppy from the local animal shelter which was a great learning experience for me. I have had experience watching neighbors and friends cats and dogs when they have been away on vacation. I’m very friendly and patient with animals, so any specific care will never be a problem, whether you need me to crate your animal, give them their daily oral medication or just spend time and play with them. For longer house sits I am willing to bathe your pet if applicable. I can take care of your pets during the week or weekend. I can also spend most of the day at your house for house sittings. I am very patient and enjoy getting to know each and every pet and making friends with them. I like walking and playing with the pets as well as taking good care of them. I also have experience taking care of a deaf and blind dog which has taught me a lot about patient and loving care.
About: I treat every pet like family, providing personalized care, plenty of playtime, and attention to their unique needs. With years of experience and a true passion for animals, I go beyond basic pet sitting ensuring your furry friend feels safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! I’m currently working full time but I always make time to help my furry friends who need love and care while their family is away. In my home or yours, I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I follow their routine closely whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, walks, or cuddle sessions ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to their behavior, health, and happiness, always providing plenty of affection and enrichment. My goal is to make every pet feel at home, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own space!
“Maddy has been great with our puppy Bentley. She’s been a great help with his potty training and teaching him how to roll over. She’s also great with sending cute pictures and videos. We are so happy we found her and will continue to use her.”

My first experience with Rover.com and Kimberly was incredible. I could not have asked for a more compassionate and competent pet sitter for my cat, Irma. Everything I asked Kimberly to accomplish was done thoroughly, and I’m impressed with the videos and written feedback I received daily. Thank you so very much for your kindness, Kimberly!
I hate leaving my cat, but hiring Jane and Adam to check in on her was the best decision I could have made. So thorough with all her care, attentive to her needs, willing to be flexible with the times that fit her meals, and extremely prompt with communication. The written updates and pics every morning during Adam’s visit were so enjoyed and made me feel at ease that my fur baby was in great hands. I definitely have my go to sitter now whenever I need one in this area.
Alessandra arrived early and stayed a little longer taking care of Minnie tonight and I very much appreciate that. Minnie was kept happy with Alessandra playing the fishing pole game with her which boosted her appetite and mood. She’s very interactive and enjoys company as she did with Alessandra when she played with her.
If you are looking for a trustworthy and kind cat sitter, look no further than Michele. She recently watched my cat Hunter and did a phenomenal job. She sent regular updates, kept the feeding area spotless, and spent quality time playing with him.It’s such a relief knowing my home and my pet are in such capable hands.
Alec went above and beyond to care for my dog and cats, including accepting a last minute request for his services. The communication was excellent and daily updates with photos really helped me while I was away and missing them. My home was kept clean and organized too!

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.
