“First time using Rover and Amber was great! My cat is very shy and kind of scared of people (he’s a rescue) so while he did hide from her she provided updates that he did eat which was great having that peace of mind while gone. When we came home he was happy as can be. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats for family, friends, and classmates. My profession also has me working with all kinds of animals, so I am very used to working with different animals. I work on a 3 days on, 3 days off schedule, so I can work unusual days and hours at times. With this schedule I also am able to work different days each week. I constantly am providing my dog and dogs I care for with enrichment. It could be something small like spraying their tennis ball with a new smell or something complex like a new puzzle feeder. I try to constantly make them think for their treats and to help stimulate their natural senses
“Jamey did a great job looking after our cat. She gave her lots of attention and was able to give her meds on all but one day. Our cat is very shy, so that was an A+ in our book. She got our packages but missed the mailbox mail.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, I have experience working with all kinds of breeds and would love to take care of your fur animal too! I’m currently working from 7 am - 4 pm. I do kennel my two pups while I’m gone to keep them safe. I come home after work, and I have time to walk and play with mine and your pups. All doggos in my care will also have access to a big backyard and will be allowed to run in it in the mornings before I have to leave. I do in home care, I ensure your pup is safe and happy at all times. I would love to be considered to take care of your family member
“Ashlyn did a great job of caring for our pet. She kept us posted with pics of each visit. My dog took a liking to her instantly. I will definitely use her services again if she's available in the future!”
“Cassidy watched my two cats for 2 weeks while I was away, and they enjoyed it so much that I think they missed her more than me!! I loved all the pictures she sent, and it was so nice knowing that they were being played with and having fun! She was so diligent and always kept me updated about everything. I had full faith that she could handle anything, and it was wonderful having the peace of mind that I didn’t need to worry about them at all. I came back home to clean waters, litter, house, and happy and brushed puddy cats :) I would for sure ask Cassidy to watch my boys again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats of all sizes, so I’m comfortable caring for both. Over the past 4 years, I’ve pet sat for dogs and cats, making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while their owners are away. As an athletic college student, I’m happy to keep dogs active with walks and play, and I’m gentle and patient with cats, respecting their space and personality. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I work part-time and am looking for some light pet sitting or dog walking jobs to fill my free time. I’m available during mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and happy to help out with flexible hours while earning some extra cash. I know how important it is to keep your pet safe and happy. I’m careful and follow your instructions so your pet feels comfortable and secure. I pay attention to their needs and make sure they’re in a calm, stress-free environment whether we’re at home or out for a walk. You can trust me to treat your pet like one of my own, they’ll be well loved and cared for every time!
“Kiana was a delightful companion for my furbaby while I was away. She arrived promptly, followed all my instructions, and took adorable photos of my cat so I could rest assured that he was in good hands. I will definitely use her services again next time I travel!”
About: owned dogs my whole life and been around them forever, i’ve dog sitted for many friends and family members and what better way to spend my day then to meet new dogs and help out! I’m a part time cosmetologist trying my best to build clientele but starting out is always a little bumpy so what better way to make some extra money than to be around dogs all day!! I have a fenced in dog yard and one small friendly dog, we have a doggy door so they can always go out when needed, my dog is crate trained so if needed he can go in the crate.
About: I currently have a 12 year old Lab/mix dog, he is super sweet and loves attention. He is very friendly and no problems so far with other dogs. I have worked with a dog groomer before and would help out when needed. I can bathe your pooch anytime. I have had pets with separation anxiety before as well. I had an austrailian shepard growing up and she had separation anxiety bad, It wasn't easy but we were able to get her to not tear up the house anymore. If you have a pet that deals with separation anxiety then I would love to watch your pet for you. I work full time in Jupiter, FL during the week so weekends would be the only time I have available. I look forward to working with your pet(s). What do you say? Are you ready to let your pet have a wonderful time while you go out for a night and have some time to yourself? If so, I am your gal.

He gets along with every dog he comes into contact with.

About: I grew up in a dog grooming shop, as well as on a farm. I have taken extensive behavioral courses as well as pet cpr courses. Whatever pet you may have, I can almost guarantee I’ve had experience with! From dogs and cats, to reptiles and birds, as well as many livestock, I’ve got you covered! Big and small, I love them all! So if experience is what you’re searching for, I’ll be happy to get your “paw” of approval. I work a full time job in the automotive industry to advance my career, but cannot forget where I came from. I love animals, and couldn’t see myself not working with them. 8 AM-5 PM I work my day job, and typically do stop ins before my shift, right after, and a third time in the late evening, but will soon have the opportunity to be more flexible! Safety is my number one concern, as most pet parents. Doors are ALWAYS shut and double checked, fences are always checked as well. I have never ever had an accident occur on my watch, and don’t plan on it happening any time soon.

Whether it's medication administration, gentle handling, or simply lots of love and attention, your pet is in skilled, caring hands. Working two full days and one half day at a veterinary clinic gives me the perfect balance—plenty of time during the week to offer reliable, attentive pet care, while staying closely connected to animal health and well-being. It’s a win-win: I get to do what I love both at the clinic and with your pets! When caring for a pet in their home, I stick closely to their routine—meals, walks, meds, playtime—so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I bring a calm, caring presence, and a few extra belly rubs never hurt either!

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 Meet & Greet .
