“Kate is always so great with our kitties! She’s very reliable and easy to communicate with. The cats are usually very shy but they were so quick to warm up to her. We hate leaving the cats but Kate makes it much less stressful!”
About: Since 2019, I've worked as a Behavior Care provider at a local animal shelter, an experience that has deeply shaped how I approach animal care. Working closely with so many different animals taught me that each one is truly an individual—with their own personality, needs, and way of seeing the world. I approach every animal with curiosity and understanding, meeting them where they are rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. My training includes behavior care, medication administration, and exercise protocols, along with Karen Pryor clicker training certification in positive reinforcement. I lead with empathy and a genuine love for animals in everything I do. I've also been pet sitting for the past six years, primarily with dogs and cats, though I welcome the opportunity to care for all kinds of animals—I'm a lifelong learner with a deep love for anything animal-related. Outside of animal care, I bring a diverse professional background in clinical oncology research, patient care, advocacy, and navigation. That said, some of my most meaningful time is still spent with our four-legged friends. 🐾 I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be fully present and attentive to the animals in my care. I work remote and have a lot of flexibility throughout the week to accommodate any type of schedule. I am available early morning midday as well as evening and late night. Each animal and each environment is different so I lead with good communication on how each family desires their home and pets to be cared for.
About: I’m a responsible and caring pet lover with 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve provided walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention for family and friends’ pets. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m available for pet care throughout the week and can work pet visits into my schedule. I’m responsible, dependable, and will make sure I give each pet plenty of attention during every visit. I’m especially interested in regular walks and drop-in visits and will communicate with owners to make sure their pets receive the care they need. I’ve cared for family and friends’ dogs by taking them on walks, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they have plenty of food and water. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’ll follow each owner’s instructions carefully while making sure their pet feels safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve had hands on experience with animals my whole life, I have experienced feeding, walking, grooming, exercise. Monitoring their health in a safe loving environment. Dog walking fits well into my schedule because I work part-time, which gives me flexibility to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend walks. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure I arrive on time and can give each dog the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. If I have any scheduling conflicts, I communicate with owners in advance. I understand that trust is essential when caring for someone’s pet and home. I treat every home with respect and follow care instructions exactly as provided. I make safety my top priority by keeping doors and gates secure, supervising pets, avoiding unsafe situations during dog walks and ensuring they always have fresh food, water and a clean environment.
“Cortney is so sweet and patient with our four kitties. She has checked in on our cats a few times now and is always thorough when taking care of them. I definitely recommend her if you need someone to check on your fur babies!”
About: Ever since having a cat to call my own at 7 years old, I have had a love and passion for animals. At age 9 we had a family dog and I knew a job in the animal industry was for me. I went to Vet Tech school for college and learned a lot of skills that I use today! From administering medications, to feedings and walks, I can assure I have the skills needed to care for your pet! I look forward to working with you and your family! I currently do not have a 9-5 job. I am looking to do pet sitting full-time. I do have 4 kids and they keep me busy at times. Pet sitting works well for my family and I because there is flexibility. Let's talk schedule and see if we are a good match! I respect your property and do my best to leave it better than I came. I do best with instructions on a notepad to reference when I arrive and complete all tasks needed. If you ever need me to grab the mail, water the plants or even do some light vacuuming I would be happy to accommodate! I used to work for the post office and we had to follow a lot of privacy procedures there as well, so I have the experience!
“Amy was fantastic!! My whole family was heading out of town for a family wedding. I never had to have someone other than family watch my beloved "old man". Amy took great care of Marley. He wasn't at all stressed when I got home! I am sure I'll be booking Amy again! She even brought in my heavy Chewy box!! :)”
“We hired Kelsey to care for our elderly cat who requires medicine 2x a day while going out of town. Our cat is very shy but took to Kelsey very quickly. She was punctual, meticulous, and went above and beyond to provide outstanding care for our sweet guy. She played with him, took outstanding notes, followed up with updates and pics, and ensured he got everything he needed. We would hire her again with no question. Highly recommend her.”
About: Hello my name is Gracie I have been working with dogs for 3 years. I have had my havanese dog for 6 years. I have been working at doggy daycares for 3 years and still working at one.

I work part time I would love to have a weeks notice on when you need me so I can prepare my schedule to help with your pet I want to make sure that the pets are taken care of, to make you feel comfortable I would send pictures and videos to ensure you that your pet is doing well
About: Your furry friends deserve the best— let me spoil them with walks, love, and playtime while you’re away! Happy to chat about your pet needing care. Working a full time hybrid position has given me the luxury of squeezing in a daily walk, playtime, and adventures with my fur babies so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re needing some extra help! Will always keep your pet on a leash while walking, unless in an enclosed area. Can't wait to play fetch and take your fur babe for a walk!
About: Hi! I’m Maddie, a college student home for break with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals, which makes pet sitting one of my favorite things to do. I’ve been pet sitting for several years, caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, fish, and even chickens. I have extensive experience with both drop-in visits and overnight stays, and I’ve cared for pets of all different breeds, sizes, and ages. I feel confident and comfortable providing the care your pet needs. I’m available throughout the day for drop-in visits and walks, and I’m also happy to provide overnight stays. When taking care of your pet they will be a priority. In your home, I follow your instructions exactly, maintain their routine, and create a calm, stress-free environment. I believe consistent communication is essential, so I’ll keep you updated with photos, messages, and any other details you’d like, ensuring you can feel at ease knowing your pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life so caring for them has always been second nature to me. I have hands on experience caring for them through all stages of life from energetic puppies to senior dogs. As a college student on break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to focus on pet care. Without classes or campus commitments, I can dedicate my time to regular walks. For dog walking, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and keep walks at a pace that’s comfortable for each dog. Clear communication with owners helps ensure trust and peace of mind every step of the way.
About: My family always had quite a few pets growing up. Not just cats and dogs. We had birds, reptiles, fish and farm animals. It wasn’t always easy but it was worth it. Now it’s just my pup Beef, making friends around the neighborhood. My schedule is fairly flexible. Making a regular schedule is always preferred, but last minute requests are welcome. Not all days and pets are the same! I do prefer to care for pets at their owners home, at least at first, where they’re comfortable. If the pet is more independent, walks and feeding can be of service. My pup, Beef loves to play and has brought other dogs out of their shell to socialize. So if they get along, he would be there for our walks and playtime.
“Melissa took wonderful care of my two cats during my recent vacation. She is a very upbeat, positive person and has an obvious love of animals. After meeting her, I was completely confident in my decision to book her, and I was not disappointed. She provided pictures after each drop-in visit and was extremely quick to reply to emails. I will definitely be booking her again and I highly recommend Melissa as a pet sitter.”
“This was my first booking and I'm very happy! I'm pretty anxious about leaving my dogs for a day or more with anyone. Not just new people, friends and family as well since anything can happen. Both of my dogs have chronic health conditions so it's easy to cause them to flare up. There were no issues at all with their health or anything. Christopher made me feel very comfortable and even came over the day before to meet me and my pups. My GSD is 100lbs so he can be intimidating, it really soothed me to see that he was comfortable with that. He and his wife also took both of them for a couple walks during 2 of the 4 drop in visits! I'm sure my dogs absolutely loved that and my GSD pulls like a mushing dog on a leash. I can definitely recommend Chris for care of your dogs”
About: I've had animals since I was a teenager, always responsible for taking care of them... I'm that person at a party that would rather hang out with the pet rather than the people. I currently stay home and help take care of my 90 year old father in law. I've got plenty of time during my day to get out and care for some critters! Depending on what the client wants, I will adhere to their preferences... Letting them run around a fenced in yard, throwing toys, walking on a leash is all fine with me. It's whatever the client prefers.
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the great care my dogs received from Courtney while I was away. Courtney is incredibly caring and attentive. She is reliable and sent me updates while I was away which put my mind at ease. We loved having her take care of our pups. I highly recommend Courtney if you are looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!”
“Amy took care of our dog (drop-in visits) and we were completely satisfied. Very accommodating to our dog's "odd" schedule (very early riser) and provided great updates and photos (pet photographer quality photos!). Would recommend and use again.”

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mars choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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 .
