“Brittany was great at communicating with me, especially because my cat is antisocial. I didn’t anticipate Brittany seeing her so she let me know that the food and water were being consumed and she was using the litter box. It made my travels much easier! I’d book with Brittany again.”
About: With 25 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, I bring a deep understanding of pet behavior, health, and comfort. I've worked in a Veterinary setting and have cared for pets of all ages - from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs. I'm calm, patient and intuitive, always tuning in to each pet's unique personality. Your pet won't just be watched - they'll be nurtured like family. I prioritize trust, safety and routine, so your pet feels relaxed and happy while you're away.

I care for my own cats and dogs everyday, including feeding, grooming, cleaning, and playtime. I'm used to managing routines, medications and individualized attention - especially with my experience breeding Maine Coons. My schedule is flexible, and I prioritize consistency, calm, and companionship in every visit, Whether it's a quick check-in or extended care, you can count on me to show up with patience, presence and love.

I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I'm always happy to provide updates, photos, and honest communication. My goal is to make you and your pet feel secure, supported and at ease every step of the way.
“Susan did an outstanding job taking care of Lucy during our time away. She arrived exactly on time for each drop-in visit, communicated clearly and consistently, and kept us well informed throughout. Lucy is a Belgian Malinois with plenty of energy, and Susan handled her confidently and professionally. It was clear Lucy was well cared for and comfortable in her care. We truly appreciated her reliability and attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend Susan to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality care for their pet.”

“Julia was fantastic! She was kind, compassionate, and caring towards my kitties and she followed my instructions perfectly (since I have a cat that needs medication). She helped ease my anxiety, gave me updated pictures daily, and was quick to respond if I had any comments or questions. I will absolutely be using her services in the future!”
“I was very happy with the services Tiffany provided watching our cats while we were out of town. One of our cats went into hiding and she went above and beyond trying to find her her. She reported in every day with pictures and stayed in touch with me throughout our time away. I'll definitely use Tiffany again for any future trips out of town.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lorain
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my babies! She was so attentive, listened to every little instruction I gave her, and handled my very high-energy pitbull like a pro. She was also so sweet and caring with my cat. As someone who is very particular about who I trust with my pets, I truly appreciated how comfortable she made me feel while I was away. I came home knowing they were happy, loved, and well cared for. I’d absolutely trust her with my pets again! 🐾❤️
Andreha was an amazing wittier. She loved on my dogs like their were her own. I would he the best pictures of her drop in visits while I was at work. We were so sad that her schedules changed but happy for her. We would choose her anytime she would be available to watch our fur babies

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.

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 .
