“Chase was awesome! He was so great with our dog and cat - they loved him. He stopped by our apartment a few times to feed, walk and play with them while we’re were away for a long day. Was always responsive and sent thorough check-ins, would highly recommend and book in the future!”
“Lis & Jason took thoughtful care of my two cats, providing timely & detailed updates at each visit on meals, medication and litter breaks with cute pictures. Very trustworthy with fur babies!”
“Vanessa took great care of our cat Teddy while we were away. We appreciated her questions in our meet and greet and her attention to detail in his care. Teddy misses her already!”
About: |PSA: I won’t be able to walk between the time 2-4:30pm| I’ve always loved caring for dogs and know how important consistent exercise, attention, and companionship are to them. I regularly walked and cared for my own pit bull, making sure he got plenty of exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation while staying safe on every walk.I’m patient and dependable, and I understand that every dog has a different personality and energy level. Whether your dog needs a long hike-style walk, a relaxed neighborhood stroll, or extra playtime at home, I’ll adapt to what they need. My goal is to make every outing (or visit) safe, positive, and enjoyable while treating your dog with the same care and respect I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. I'm available for both part-time and full-time pet sitting and dog walking, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends when needed. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to stick to their usual routines, whether that's regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply providing companionship. My goal is to give every pet the attention, care, and exercise they need while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely to keep their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care they may need. During walks, I'll always keep dogs securely leashed, stay aware of our surroundings, and choose safe routes. In your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect I would my own, keeping it clean and making sure your pet has plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you're away. I'll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.
“Nykijahe was wonderful, she kept us up to date with many pictures and took amazing care of our kitties. We will definitely be using her anytime we go out of town and a future!”
About: I love pets of all kinds SO much, and I promise to treat yours with the greatest care & love! I am experienced with anxious & pull-y dogs (as I had a rescue of my own). I live alone in my 1BR, for those who would like to board with me. Flexibility in my day-to-day for all sorts of stuff, hit me up for whatever you need! The more time spent with pets, the better :) With lots of love! I am very detail-oriented, so I will be sure to follow ALL directions you provide. Please be specific and thorough !
“Marcela did a wonderful job walking Beau and following instructions as he's still a puppy and training to walk. There is another puppy she walks in the apartment, but although we offered that she could walk Beau together with that puppy, she stated that she preferred to give each dog individual attention, which we were surpised by and appreciated. She took a lot of photos and videos, and we'd gladly ask Marcela to walk Beau again!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved caring for them. I have experience with puppies and dogs of different ages and personalities. Since I work from home, I’ll be around your pet most of the day, giving them plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m around most of the day and can provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and regular breaks. I’m also flexible with my schedule to accommodate your pet’s usual routine. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I work from home, so I can provide plenty of supervision and attention throughout the day. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and pets are welcome on the furniture. I’m happy to follow each pet’s usual routine and any specific instructions from their owner.
About: Hello pet parents! Do we like that term? It's either that or owners, which feels worse! I'm Reena, a single woman in my late 30s from Melbourne, Australia. I'm also a journalist with a love for writing about movies and TV (which I do part-time). I've come to Rover from Trusted Housesitters, where I netted five-star reviews and some lovely new furry pals. I enjoy petsitting because I genuinely feel a sense of connection and empathy towards cats and dogs. Even if I walk a dog just one time, I'll go out of my way to make sure they feel safe and loved. I’ve been sitting cats and dogs for about 3 years, both in Melbourne and NYC. O, Oh, and I do especially well with anxious cats. I’ve been told that so have the type of tranquil energy that keeps them comfortable and at ease. I’ve also administered a variety of medicines to animals, including stomach meds hidden inside a pill pocket, liquid antibiotics measured via a syringe, and blood pressure meds. I also recently administered daily ringworm medication to an older cat: his lesions resolved completely under my care, which was great. I also love looking after dogs and in particular have cared for many poodle mixes. 🐩 I love taking them on walks (I can walk two at a time) and paying visits to the dog park, regardless of if you have a high-energy dog with a fetch addiction or a more low-key fellow who prefers to saunter and sniff. I’ve also looked after puppies and trained them on basic drills and commands. Many treats were provided in exchange for their sacrifice, and cute faces, of course! I promise: your pets are 100% my priority. I’m not the type of sitter who will leave your fur children on their own for long stretches of time. I will be there for your pets so that they know they’re safe and loved! About my routine: I’m presently a journalist doing casual weekend work, but that work is done from home. At other times, I’m pitching and/or job hunting. This means I have a ton of time to spend with your babies, which is especially useful if your pets get separation anxiety. I love to play with animals and will make sure they’re getting balanced days, filled with play, pats, rest, relaxation, grooming, and of course, their daily food and water! I love sitting for pets in their own homes, as I find that animals, especially cats, are happier and more open to new people while safety situated in the environment that they know and love. This also saves you the hassle of having to transport your pets elsewhere: I will come to you!
About: I've had dogs and cats in the home consistently since I was ten years old, and been relied on by friends and family to take care of their animals once I got a little older. No stranger to high maintenence/high energy pets! I'm able to work entirely remote, so I will be able to be in the room with the pets for the entire day if this is what is preffered. I do not work on weekends and can plan to sit on those days as well. In the clients home tend to ask for details on how they would like they're pet to be treated by me (i.e. constant attention in the home, frequent potty breaks and walks, or a pet that prefers their privacy).
“Evangelina is very thorough and attentive. She sent multiple pictures of what she had done which I really really appreciate. Thank you for taking care of my cats!!!!”
“Carlos did a fantastic job watching my cat George - he came by for 2 drop in visits a day while I was away for the weekend, and sent picture updates at each one! George was very happy and well taken care of when I got home.”
“Glenna took excellent care of our three cats. She was responsive to our messages and followed all our instructions. And the cats clearly liked her too! (I can tell because the cats are acting normal instead of giving us the cold shoulder.)”
“Fanny had taken care of our two cats in the past, and they loved her. This time, when we had a longer trip, we didn’t hesitate to reach out to her again, and she did so well by them! She is very attentive and caring with cats, and really understands their demeanor. She would send us 15-20 pictures of them each day, alongside a cute report of her visit. Though we were away, we felt like our cats were really taken care of and happy with Fanny! She does go above and beyond, I could not recommend her services more!”

I cannot thank Nicole enough for the extraordinary care she gave my senior cat, Ralph. Ralph can be quite fractious and relies on precise daily medication. Nicole went above and beyond: she worked with us for over a month before my trip to get accustomed to Ralph's temperament and help prep the apartment for safe dosing. Because of her thorough preparation, she was able to handle Ralph’s medication with 100% confidence while I was away. She was super communicative throughout. Nicole is patient, reliable, and exceptionally skilled with older or higher need pets.
Marguerite is the best cat sitter! While I was on vacation she came daily within the scheduled time frame to feed and play with my cat, Tony. Her dependability was priceless, especially for my cat who knows to the minute his meal times. Her detailed reports were so cute and let me know he was super happy and being himself. Truthfully I was jealous of their play time especially with the action shot photos 😂. Not only did she do the fun stuff like brush and play with him but kept his litter box and dishes impeccable. Do not hesitate to book Marguerite!
We’ve worked with Evelyn twice now, and she’s super reliable, punctual and sweet. We wanted more pictures of Mr. Soul and Licorice playing on our second booking, and she sent us so many. Clearly our kitties had a good time!! When we came home they were relaxed and happy. Would absolutely book again. Thank you Evelyn!
Xiaoying was wonderful with Miles! She sent me regular photo updates and messages every day, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Miles was home happy, calm, and well-cared for. I would totally book Xiaoying again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!

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 .
