“I was able to book Glenna last minute for the 4th of July. She was quick to respond, making the holiday more enjoyable knowing our cats were well taken care of.”
About: I’ve been passionate about animal care for years, with hands on experience volunteering at animal shelters and veterinary hospitals, as well as pet sitting dogs and cats of all ages. I’m also a proud cat mama to two handsome orange tabbies, George and Theodore! 🐈🧡 Caring for animals has always been close to my heart, and I love making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved like family. I work remotely during the week, so my schedule is flexible! I’m happy to stop by for drop in visits throughout the day and work with you to find times that best fit your pet’s routine. 🐾 For drop in visits, please select all the dates and specific times you anticipate needing care so we can communicate and coordinate a schedule that works best. I will always follow your instructions and respect your preferences to ensure your pets receive the best possible care. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I want you to feel confident and at ease knowing your pets are in loving, trustworthy hands! 🐾
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life, from cats to dogs. I love animals with my whole heart and love being around them! I have watched my family and families friends pets. I am currently enrolled at West Chester University so pet care can fit into my weekly routine after my classes are over which is usually around mid day. Pet care can also fit into my weekly routine when I am not working at my part time job. In my clients home I will make sure I have an eye on the pet at all times and make sure they get everything they need. While also making sure they have a fun time with extra snuggles!
About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for pets for years, including raising my own dog since he was a puppy. I’m very involved in his daily care, including feeding, walks, routines, giving lots of attention, and helping manage medical needs when needed. Because of this, I understand how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m also very comfortable with cats and have had plenty of experience raising kittens as well. I enjoy spending time with different personalities, whether they’re playful, shy, energetic, or need extra comfort and care. I’ll always treat pets like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a very open and flexible schedule! I do work part-time mostly once or twice a week on weekends, but outside of my work schedule I’m available most days and have plenty of time to give pets attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m happy to be flexible and work around your pet’s needs and routine. Since I will be caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to help them feel as comfortable, safe, and stress-free as possible by sticking to their normal routine. I’m very attentive to instructions and will make sure your pet gets the care, attention, exercise, feeding, potty breaks, and affection they need while you’re away. I also have hands-on experience with crate training through my own dog, who is crate trained and comfortably sleeps in his crate when prompted. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making pets feel secure in their environment. I will always treat your home and pets with respect and care as if they were my own.
“Alex is amazing and I feel very lucky to have her care for my cat. My cat really enjoys being with her and always looks happy in the photos and videos she sends. She gives thoughtful updates after every visit and keeps me reassured when I am away. She is easy to talk to and always responsive. I would happily recommend Alex and will absolutely book with her again.”
“Lila was wonderful, thoughtful and gentle with Sparky. We came home and he was happy and we felt that he was well taken care of. The daily check ins were fun and we felt comfortable and relaxed that he was with a kind and compassionate person. Thank you again for all you did.”
About: My years of having and loving cats and dogs of different types has prepared me to be qualified to love and care for yours when you have a need. I am retired from the Army and Retail Distribution. I enjoy my travel time and socializing time, but want to be useful in a way that would absolutely bring me joy. Being with fur babies of the canine and feline variety would be fun. I can tailor my time to your needs. I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.
About: I have a lot of experience with pets, both dogs and cats from a young age. I have a five year old Boston terrier at home. I am currently working a full time job, but I would be available for drop in visits/dog walks during the week after 3pm or on the weekends either day or night time. I am currently living in a small apartment so I would not be available for boarding someone else’s dog in my own home. Thank you.
About: I have always loved animals and will love taking care of yours. Some info about me, I work as a volunteer vet tech so I am able to give your dog oral or subcutaneous medicine. My family and I have four dogs and two cats that I take care of by taking them on walks, brushing their teeth, and bathing. I have also dog sat a couple homes while pet parents are away. I am currently a student at wcu and am on a flexible schedule as my gymnastics season just ended and the semester is coming to an end. I have a Maltese poodle mix(Chase) that lives at college with me and my roommates and I always put him on a leash when letting him outside and he is currently on an eating routine. Chase is a picky pup with allergies and high anxiety so I have understood how to deal with high maintenance dogs and well as my sisters German shepherd and lab and the two dogs and cats my parents have at home. I am well versed with taking care of any type of dog or cat.
About: I have been around animals and dogs all my life. I was raised on a three hundred acres veil farm in upstate NY where we had German Shepherds, Mastiff, Boarder Collies and Springer Spaniels . The last twenty plus years I have worked with Akita rescue in Florida and have personally owned two Akita's of my own Jayda my heart dog who passed in 2023 and Raider who passed away in 2014. I had hands on training from an Air Force Marine who use to train Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds, but don't let that fool you, I am a sucker for the small guys too! It will be a pleasure of mine to be able to walk, or care for your pet when you need the help. I am currently working part-time. I do have most morning, afternoon and some evenings available for walks, potty breaks, play time and or feedings available. I an not able to take in pets to my home as my son has his little sweet pitty staying with me at this time and does not like to share me with other pets.
“Carly was fantastic. She took such great care of our two boys for a week, they were fed and the litter box was spotless when we got home. The most impressive thing was when Carly sent us pictures she was petting our cats. They don't often take to strangers so quickly but loved her right away. I highly recommend using Carly.”
“Nancy has been amazing with my dogs!!! You can tell she is a true animal lover, because she cares about the details. She made last minute arrangements for us to meet and greet and adjustments to a few of our schedule stays, so she is also very willing to be as flexible as her schedule/life allows. Nancy sends photos and videos of my nuggets every stay. She has even checked in to see how my dog was doing with no upcoming/pending visit, so I know they are in genuinely loving hands under her care.”
“Jess was fantastic! This was our first experience with Rover and Jess went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and assure our furry friends were in great hands. We highly recommend Jess.”
About: Dog walker & cat lover. My pet experience spans from check-in walks to month-long over nights. I enjoy the outdoors and can walk your dog in any weather. I’ve cared for big and small dogs and a variety of cat breeds. I have a lenient, remote 9-5. I can keep your pet company while you’re at work, or stop in for a walk depending on your needs. I travel from time to time but will mark my schedule. I’d prefer pet care to take place in the client’s home. Would need to spend time with your pet before considering boarding at my home.
About: I’m confident handling leashes, following routines, and paying close attention to my surroundings to keep your dog safe. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog with the same care, affection, and respect that I give my own pets, ensuring every walk is a fun and positive experience. Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. As a pet owner myself, I’m used to planning my day around feeding, playtime, and making sure pets are happy and comfortable. I enjoy being active, so walks and drop-in visits fit naturally into my routine before or after work and on weekends. I genuinely love spending time with animals, so pet care is something I look forward to—not just another task on my schedule. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping them comfortable by sticking to their normal routine. I’ll follow all care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, medication (if needed and discussed), or simply giving them companionship. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own and send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home, while giving you complete peace of mind. I specialize in: 🐶 Dog drop-in visits and potty breaks 🦴 Feeding, fresh water, treats, and playtime 🚶 Walks and exercise tailored to your dog’s needs 🐱 Cat care, including feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of attention 💊 Medication administration (if needed and instructions are provided) 📸 Detailed visit updates with lots of photos so you know your pets are happy and doing well I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether your dog is full of energy and loves to play or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I’ll care for them just the way they’re used to. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and will treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I know how much our pets mean to us—they’re family—and I’ll care for yours with the same kindness and attention I’d want for my own. Please note that I currently offer drop-in visits and cat care only. I do not offer boarding, so your pets can stay comfortable in the familiar environment they know and love. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I can’t wait to meet them! I work from home most days, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes it easy for me to stop by and care for your pets whenever they need me! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. I’ll always respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Longwood
Amanda is an exceptional cat sitter! She took great care of my two energetic babies and went over and above to play with them and make them feel loved. She kept their feeding area and the litter boxes clean and neat. She also sent the best pictures after every visit! My husband and I were able to enjoy our first vacation away from the kittens knowing they were in good hands.
Alaina was suggested to me by a colleague, and my first experience with Rover, and she was great! Her care and consideration for my cat and home were much appreciated, and she was responsive and friendly in all our correspondence. I highly recommend her services!

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
