About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. As a lifelong pet owner, I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, and animals with medical needs. I understand how important routine, patience, and trust are when it comes to pet care. I provide calm, attentive drop-in visits and dog walks, always following specific instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, and comfort routines. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, understood, and cared for while their owner is away. I am available for drop-in visits and dog walks on select weekdays, typically in the afternoon and evening. My current availability is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday between 3:00–7:00 PM. This schedule allows me to give each pet focused, reliable care without rushing, and I always confirm availability before booking to make sure I can fully commit to each visit. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, senior pets, and animals with medical needs. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding routines, leash guidelines, medication schedules, and household rules. I take care to create a calm, low-stress environment during every visit or walk. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. I treat every home and pet with respect, care, and reliability.
“Courtney was the most caring and professional pet sitter we had so far. She looked after all the details and all those little specific things our cat had in particular. I highly recommend her services. Courtney hope to work with you again next year ?”
“What was going to be very routine turned into a challenging situation just before we left for our vacation. Allison rose to the occasion as it was very difficult to give our tortoiseshell cat her medications. It was very trying but she kept working to find a solution. Thank you Allison!”
“Kathy gave my two dogs ample love and attention! Great communication, and appreciate that she has experience with large animals, especially German shepherds. Will definitely book again when the need arises!”
“Alise is AMAZING!! She took great care of our kitties and went above and beyond! Our cats also trusted her pretty instantly which really meant a lot to us. 10/10 would recommend :)”
About: I believe in individualized love, attention, and activity for each and every animal! I have two sweet cats at home who are my entire world. I also have 9 years of experience with my own dog (training included) and 3 years of experience as a dog walker. Comfortable with special needs, medication administration, etc. Available most weekday mornings and evenings. I work remotely several days of the week and may be available for mid-day visits depending on my schedule. Usually open availability on weekends. I will follow whatever safety protocol you have set for your animals, whether that be crating, baby gates, setting the alarms, etc. My priority is that you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Hadlie was conscientious and communicated well, letting us know well in advance of any unforeseen delays. Her daily updates were helpful and showed that the kitties were calm and relaxed. Will definitely book again!”
“Alexis was fantastic. 🙌 First time Rover users and she made everything so comfortable and professional. She took great care of our cat for 10 days and was truly on top of everything more than any sitter we’ve hired before. Thank you!!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all types and sizes since I was 8 years old. I have has countless walking and house sitting jobs since I was 14 and I was always the go-to person in the neighborhood if any pets needed walking or any families were going on vacation and were in need of an in-home caretaker, or just someone to visit their fluffy friends during the day and walk/play/spend time with them. I am currently in Graduate school Monday through Thursday 11-3:15 so I am very flexible and can cater to you and your pets needs! I am free any other time and date outside of what is listed! I live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets (devastating I know) so my chihuahua jack Russell mix is with my dad in Michigan and I will not be available to bring your pet home. However, I am very active and have many friends here that would love to give your pet some extra love. I am also very handy at finding parks to walk in and fun activities for your pet and me to do, no matter how fast or slow-paced they like to live!
“They were very well cared for. Updates were provided twice a day, they offered more if we needed it. All questions I had up to and during the process were answered quickly. Our very anxious cats came home and immediately began being themselves and acting right as rain.”
“Aveline has been very helpful! She is an excellent communicator, asked good questions and took cute pictures of our pets while we were away. She really cares and did an excellent job. We highly recommend Aveline!”
About: I’ve worked professionally as a horse trainer, wildlife rehabilitator, zookeeper, animal cruelty investigator and farm animal sanctuary manager. As of 2026 I now offer sitting and boarding for dogs and cats in my home or yours. In my home, your dog or cat would have the space exclusively to themselves as there are no other animals or kids in the house. I can also service horse farms including feeding, cleaning and overnight stays. I know how much trust it takes to leave your animals with someone else, and I don't take that lightly. I guarantee that your animals will feel safe and comfortable with me, and you'll rest easy knowing they're in experienced hands. I look forward to working with you! I work mostly from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, exercise, outdoor time in my fenced yard, and companionship without long absences. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable experience based on each pet’s personality and needs. In my home, dogs have a peaceful environment and access to my fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time. Because I work mostly from home and don’t have other animals right now, I’m able to give them consistent attention, companionship, and a relaxed setting. For cats, I have a private bedroom available for those who may feel uneasy at first or need their own space. The room includes a cat tower, cozy cubbies, and a full bed with soft blankets arranged into comfortable nesting spots. This gives them a quiet place to decompress and adjust at their own pace, while still receiving attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal feeding, exercise, and care routine so things feel familiar and low stress. I’m respectful of both the pet and the home, and I’m attentive to details like energy level, mood, and overall wellbeing. I also provide regular updates so you know your pet is comfortable and doing well.
“Chelsea is a reliable and caring pet sitter who goes the extra mile when taking care of pets. She was able to help us on short notice and we felt very assured that our cats were in good hands. She also gives great updates on the pets and responds quickly whenever we contact her. We plan to schedule more pet sitting with her and I would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Brianna is wonderful cat sitter and house sitter. Attentive, kind, thoughtful and so trustworthy. We never worried for one second while we were abroad knowing she was taking care of things. Happy cats, happy house. We are so grateful to have found her and will hire her any day we need a sitter!”
“Regan was AMAZING!! Very thoughtful care and occasional photos. She communicated well with us and really made us feel as ease while we were away. This was our first time using river.com and we will be calling on Regan again!!”

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 .
