About: I have taken care of animals since I was 12, I am now 20 and my love for animals has only grown since! I have taken care of my family’s, friends’, & neighbors’ animals for years as well! I would like to start dog walking & doing drop-in visits because I want to fill my schedule with things I love and caring for animals fits that perfectly! I have two indoor cats that I take care of currently and own and have cared for many dogs in my lifetime such as my family’s, friends’, & neighbors’ dogs!

We would definitely recommend her services & will book with her again.”

I would definitely recommend Kim and will be contacting her to help out again in the future!”

About: I bring over 10 years of hands on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have a proven track record of providing attentive, loving, and reliable care. My approach is rooted in genuine affection for animals and a commitment to their well being. I am highly organized and detail oriented, ensuring feeding schedules, medication routines, and exercise needs are consistently met. I pride myself on being observant and responsive to each pet’s unique personality, providing not only safety but also comfort and companionship. From playful pups to shy cats, I create a nurturing environment that allows pets to feel at ease while their owners are away. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle sessions, or maintaining specialized diets, I go above and beyond to provide the kind of care I would want for my own pets. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in loving, capable hands. As a nanny and household manager, my schedule is naturally structured and flexible, which allows me to seamlessly incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, trust, and respect for their environment. I ensure that doors and gates are secure, food and water are fresh, and routines are followed closely. I handle pets gently and attentively, building trust through consistency and affection. I also keep the home tidy, clean up after the pets, and follow any special instructions, creating a safe, comfortable, and reliable experience for both the pets and their owners.
“Wonderful sitter! I received great updates and photos, and Bloom was happy and well cared for. I really appreciated the attention and communication throughout the visits. Would definitely book again!”
“This is the second time we’ve had Jordan watch our cats when we are out of town and Jordan did an incredible job again, was very attentive and sent great pictures each visit. We will definitely look for Jordan’s availability first next time we are out of town!”
About: I've had years of experience taking care of my own pets and also worked as a pet groomer for many years. I've had many animals throughout my life dogs, cats, ferrets, tortoises you name it. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule during the week and my weekends are wide open to spend time with your pets or have them over at my house. I have a fenced backyard and two dogs of my own that love to run and play with other dogs. While your pet is with me they are part of our family.
“Deana was great with our kitties! We have one that takes a pill every night and has issues taking it from strangers, but Deana was able to get him to take his medicine. She took time to play with the cats and help them feel more comfortable with her each day. I would book with Deana again!”
“Kristen did an amazing job taking care of my two kitties over Thanksgiving! My shy kitty came out for her very quickly and by the end she wasn't hiding from her anymore. Kristen gives detailed updates that are varied everyday, which I prefer over sitters who send nearly identical updates everyday. She’s also very communicative and asks questions when she needs to. I plan to book her again in the future! (I’m obligated to include that I work as a software engineer for Rover)”
“Austin was great! He always sent us the best photos of our cats and communicated well about how they were doing. Our cats were happy to have him around each day! :)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Machias
I am so glad that I chose Jeffrey to watch my cat, Kami Jo, while I was on vacation. He was responsive, followed directions, and kept me updated with plenty of photos. I could tell that she was happy and enjoyed his company. I would highly recommend him and use him again. My cat is quite messy so it was a relief to come home and see everything tidy and organized. Thanks again.
Tiana was amazing with our three fur babies. We have a senior dog with anxiety and over protective; Tiana was able to get her in the back yard and play. We also have an one-year with lots of energy. Also, the cat tends to hide and no one can finder her, but she came out to make her presence known. My animals seemed to have a great experience.

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.

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 .

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 .
