About: I have returned to school to earn my PhD as an adult in my 30s, which means I have both many years of experience with animals and significant flexibility to help out as your schedule requires. I have spent my whole life around animals - I grew up in a house with two cats, a dog (chow chow), and a multitude of fish; I worked for a stint on a farm as a teenager; and as an adult I have two sweet cats! I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was young, most recently caring for a variety of cats and dogs for friends during work travel, vacations, and weddings. I have experience with cats of all life stages, giving medications, and walking both small and large dogs. I am a PhD student, which means that my schedule is very flexible! (It also means I always welcome study breaks to hang out with your furry friends!) I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, including during weekdays and normal business hours. Because I have two cats of my own, I am not able to offer services in my own home at this time. I offer in-home care and dog walking, and am happy to learn from you where your dog most likes to go for walks! I do have a car, and am able to transport pets to walking trails or dog parks if desired, but would only do so with your prior permission.
“Being my first time using Rover, I was a bit unsure, but Yasmine made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. She took such great care of my cat, Xavi, and kept me updated with messages and adorable photos. It was clear that Xavi felt comfortable with her, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Yasmine’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals really stood out. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my first time using Rover, and I’ll definitely trust her with Xavi again in the future!”
“Jill was such an incredible cat sitter! She watched our two cats over the course of three days, and sent regular updates and lots of pictures. From the photos, I could tell that they were being very well looked after and getting lots of play time. Thank you, Jill, for taking such great care of our pets!”
About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I currently have a 14-year-old Golden Retriever which giving me firsthand experience with senior pet care, administering medications, monitoring health changes, and providing the extra patience and attention that older dog need. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always adapt my care to meet their individual needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands. I currently have flexible schedule and there is usually someone home 24/7. And mostly weekend after 1pm. Please book in advance for the weekends and holidays . SFH with yard, work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods of time. No smoking house. No kid. One resident cat & one resident dog. Guest cats can be provided with a separate room.

Martha took such incredible care of Bitty while I was away. This was my first time leaving her home alone for an extended period, and I was nervous because she’s an older cat and has been through a lot. Martha immediately put me at ease with the sweetest, most detailed updates written from Bitty’s perspective, along with tons of photos from every visit. You could tell she genuinely cared about Bitty’s comfort, routine, and emotional wellbeing — not just the basics of feeding and litter. She spent real quality time with her brushing her, cleaning her face gently when Bitty allowed it, sitting with her on the couch, and even letting Bitty nap on her lap during visits. The updates were thoughtful, funny, and reassuring, and I could tell Martha was paying close attention to Bitty’s eating, drinking, litter box habits, mood, and behavior. By the end of the visits, Bitty was clearly comfortable and attached to her, which says everything. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and I’m so grateful. I would absolutely trust Martha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, patient, communicative, and genuinely invested in your pet’s wellbeing.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
