“Katrina is amazing! Maggie just needed to be let out a few days a week do a potty break and when we found Katrina on Rover in April little did I know what a jackpot we’d hit! We trusted her instantly! She is always very responsive and quick to do so, accommodating as needs change, and helpful. I think Maggie even gets excited when I say, “Ms Katrina is coming today”!”
About: I have been the first choice of many friends and family to care for their pets. Both in my home and in theirs. Just for an afternoon, for an entire vacation, and in sudden emergencies. I have two dogs and five cats, as well as a hobby bird farm. Lots of smells and cuddles to be had. I also am happy to stay in your home and care for your pet in their own comfort zone. My work is remote, and as long as you have wi-fi, I'm set up to be productive. I've cared for very old and too young rescues for both dogs and cats, including medication and funky feeding schedules. I've even helped socialize shy rescues and help normalize healthy potty habits. I work full time fully remote, with limited travel. I always keep my calendar up to date with availability and obligations. I live in a rural area, so stay overs are preferred over drop ins, just because of travel time. The pets come first! They rely on us for everything, so I'm always keeping an eye open for their needs. Sometimes it's a potty break, dinner, or their own space. We have an extra-large kennel we keep set up in the event someone needs it, and a small one we set up if someone needs a more enclosed space for comfort and safety. I love getting pictures of my cats when we leave on a trip, so I always reciprocate when I'm pet sitting for someone else. You will always know your pup is getting tummy rubs, or your Guinea pigs are getting their veggies at dinner time.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the past 3 years and even potty trained and raised abandon kittens. I love animals and always make sure they are able to play. I’m available to work after school at 3pm and in between shifts at the YMCA. And I’m available for over night boarding any day of the week. I live in a two room apartment but I live close to the university of Kentucky and the dog park on campus is just a shirt walk.
About: I am a dedicated wife and mother of three with a passion for caring for animals. Living on a farm, I have hands-on experience tending to a variety of animals daily, in addition to caring for my own dog, Remi. Over the past two years, I have gained valuable experience in animal care and am committed to providing reliable, attentive services that support both pets and their families. As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I offer a flexible schedule and am available on weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. If you require care outside of these hours, please feel free to reach out, and I will do my best to accommodate your needs. Services Offered: • 30-Minute Dog Walks Enjoy a 30-minute walk around your neighborhood or a nearby trail, giving your pet fresh air, exercise, and mental stimulation. • 30-Minute Drop-In Visits Includes dedicated time with your pet for play and interaction, feeding, and letting them outside for bathroom breaks as needed. I look forward to caring for your pets as if they were my own! Im a stay at home mom and my kids are in school and I have to only take care of my 1 year old. It would be awesome to help a family in need of a sitter I have a fenced in front yard, I also use a leash for my dog currently. I will not be providing boarding services at this time
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 3 years and have loved animals my whole life. I have an Australian Shepherd and a Mini Goldendoodle of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have experience with puppies, high-energy breeds, and dogs of all sizes. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or a consistent routine, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to build Rover into my full-time career while I return to nursing school, so providing exceptional pet care is something I’m truly passionate about. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s needs. I also live with my parents, which allows me to stay overnight for house sitting when needed. You’ll always receive regular updates, photos, and plenty of peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my daily life. My goal is to grow Rover into my full-time career while I return to nursing school, so I have a flexible schedule and will always do my best to accommodate your needs. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, weekends, overnight stays, or last-minute requests, I’m happy to work with you whenever possible. My own dogs are a huge part of my life, and I’d love to give your pets the same care, attention, and love. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care they need. I have an Australian Shepherd and a Mini Goldendoodle who are friendly and well-socialized, but I always introduce dogs slowly and safely. If your pet prefers their own space, I’m happy to separate them or crate them if requested. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I love all animals. As you can see in my pictures I have been around many different animals. I have been around dogs, cats, Guinea pigs and hamsters, sharks, goats, birds, and horses. I believe that pets are part of the family and I believe all animals deserve to be well taken care of. While my apartment does not allow pets I am more than happy to pet sit at your place or just stop by for some attention, feeding, or walks. Pets are part of one’s family and I believe that should be treated as such. I am there to feed your pet and take it on walks as well as play with it and give it whatever kind of attention is needed.
About: My journey as a dedicated dog caregiver began early in my life, and it took a heart-touching turn when I found myself nurturing eleven newborn puppies, following a tragic event that took their mother. I remember vividly the mix of apprehension and determination as I sat on my bedroom floor, syringe-feeding each tiny pup. That first five-hour marathon of feedings marked the start of an unforgettable bond that grew stronger with every round of care. Each puppy, now happily in their forever homes, holds a special place in my heart. This experience not only honed my pet care skills but also deepened my understanding of the unique needs of young animals. With patience, love, and a commitment to continuous improvement, I offer a caring environment where your pet can thrive, feeling as cherished and attended to as those eleven puppies did. My job is seasonal, the busiest is in the summer. During the peak months of July/August my schedule varies, therefore I will regularly keep my calendar updated to reflect my availability. In the fall and winter seasons I am usually available anytime. I will care for your pet as requested per client's preferences. No one knows your pet like you do and I will stick strictly to that care and schedule.
“Emily was just wonderful taking care of our two older dogs. She came to our home prior to our trip to meet me and our dogs - and I instantly knew that Emily loved animals and would care for ours like her own. She sent multiple pictures every day of our dogs outside walking and playing. When we came home they were happy and healthy. Thank you Emily!”

- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .

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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
