About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’ve helped my friend with everything from daily walks to overnight stays, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and understood. I’m patient with shy dogs, gentle with seniors, and playful with energetic pups. I follow feeding schedules closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, and attention. Whether it’s a calm walk, fetch in the yard, or quiet cuddle time, I adjust to whatever your dog needs. I also provide frequent photo and video updates so you can feel connected while you’re away. Your dog will be cared for with love, respect, and the same attention I would give my own. I’m currently a graduate student with a very flexible schedule. I spend most of my time at home, so I’m able to check in on pets frequently and keep their routine consistent. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care every day. I take safety very seriously and always follow your instructions exactly—whether it’s feeding, litter care, medication, or keeping doors secured. I’m calm, patient, and respectful of each pet’s space, especially shy or anxious animals. In your home, I make sure everything stays clean and comfortable, and I send frequent photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet with the same care and kindness I give my own.
About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats my entire life both personally and with family and friends! I love animals and know how stressful it can be finding pet care! Im on a travel contract in Lexington, KY from 11/12 to 2/14! I can provide over night care on Friday and Saturday nights if I know in advance and can do nightly walks or check ins after 6pm during the week! Currently can’t board pets at my place of residence right now but am open to check ins, walks, and staying at your place depending on needs!
About: I’ve grown up around a variety of pets and have experience caring for animals with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable learning each pet’s routine and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I also have experience with simple pet training and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Most importantly, I’ll treat every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I am a college student with a car so I often have room in my schedule at various points in the day where I can look after your animals. I will keep you updated at all times on your pets wellbeing, I may be overly cautious at times but I always think it is better to be careful then careless. If I am in your home I will leave it exactly as I left it and I will ask for what rooms are approved for me to be whithin.
About: I have had a dog from the time I was 12 until I was 22! I know how to take care of all ages, from puppies to our beloved senior doggies. I’m in search for my new study buddy to keep me company while I do my flash cards! I am currently in medical school, and my class schedule is predictable but flexible. With a low amount of required activities, I am available to spend more time with your babies! I usually study from home, which means we can both keep each-other company :) I have experience in dog sitting and house sitting. I will be more than happy to spend as much time as possible in your home so that your pets stay on as normal of a routine as possible. I care for pets like I care for my patients- with love, responsibility, and devotion!
“Gabriella did a great job staying with my two kitties while I was on vacation. It helped me relax and enjoy being away without having to worry about them. My place was immaculate when I came back. Highly recommend!”
About: I am an animal science major at the University of Kentucky and have experience with pet sitting, walking, and training. I have multiple years of experience. I am currently available anytime after 4 PM on weekends and some evenings during the week. I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s schedule. Pets in my care are always kept safe, comfortable, and happy. I can crate your dog if needed and follow any special feeding or medication instructions.
About: I’ve been around and cared for all different sorts of dogs since I can remember. I’ve owned a pit bull, Dalmatians, boxers, labs etc! I’m great at keeping pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and sticking to each pet’s routine. I’m responsible and attentive to every animal I care for to make sure there as comfortable as can be while being away from their owners. I’ll always treat your pets with the same care and love I’d want for my own. Im currently only working part time hours so i have plenty of availability to spend quality time with any pet I will be boarding, sitting or walking! I live in an apartment with my fiance not too far from shillito park so while I don’t have a backyard shillito park is a short walk away and one of my favorite places to go for walks.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, starting with my bunny I named Cutie Pie. Since then, I’ve been blessed to know and love so many animals, whether they are mine or not. I’ve taken care of herding and hunting dog breeds, juvenile and senior cats/dogs, and even farm animals! When it comes to pets, there is nothing I will stop at to ensure the comfort and safety of your furry friends. I develop close connections with each pet I encounter, growing to love and miss them like they’re my own. Many friends, family, and even strangers have trusted me to watch over their little ones while they’re away. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! My visits are far from “short and sweet”. I take time to cuddle and play with every pet; their mental and physical health is my top priority! I currently do not bring other pets inside my own home for the sake of my own cat, Truffles. However, I happily travel to you! For first time visits, I like to meet clients in their home with their furry friends present. I want to get to know the dynamics, schedules, special needs, favorite scratch spot, everything there is to know!
About: I love all animals! I worked part-time for a locally owned dog/cat sitting service and gained lots of experience working with animals of all ages and sizes. I have somewhat of a busy schedule with both school and work, but I am very flexible for the most part and am willing to work with clients regarding scheduling. I have a cat of my own and love him to pieces! My dog lives in my hometown with my mom, but I love him to pieces as well and have done everything I can to make both my dog and cat happy, cared for, and loved!
“Morgan took excellent care of our geriatric cat that needed pills twice a day. She followed our instructions, knew to use a towel to help calm her for pilling when needed, and was able to coax her out of her hiding places. Highly recommend!”
About: I absolutely love dogsitting! Growing up without any pets of my own, due to an animal allergy that I have outgrown, getting the opportunity to love on your fur babies has been a dream! I work with in a senior citizen home, but I also have taken care of senior dogs before, administering medications, both orally and through an injection. I love treating your fur babies as one of my own and I am more than glad to do whatever you need to make you the most comfortable with me watching your fur babies. I take loads of pictures, videos, etc.! My job is pretty flexible. I can potty your fur babies in the afternoon, if needed. Upon booking, I can provide you my availability! Just ask me, I am more than welcome to let you know when I can pop in to potty your animals during the day :) I love on them, play with them, make sure their water and food bowl is always full when obviously needed. I make sure they are taken outside as often as they need it.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs for as long as I can remember. I’m a huge dog lover who has 3 dogs at home. I’m frequently helping out friends or family by stopping by and taking care of their animals when they can’t be around. I’m currently a college student in Lexington, so I will make sure to work around my class schedule when it comes to drop-ins or overnight stays! I’m very flexible and will always find time to make your pet care requests work! I make sure to keep the enviornment exactly as the owner prefers, and make sure to take all safety measures seriously. I make sure to keep everything in order and tidy while respecting house rules. I own 3 energetic dogs who play constantly and run around the yard, so I am definitely used to a little controlled chaos. I can easily take dogs on walks or crate them. I also make sure to check in with the owner and send in pictures of their pet!
About: Something that sets me apart from other sitters is my versatile background interacting with and caring for a wide range of furry friends — from dogs, to cats, to bunnies, to birds! I also have my own 3 year old golden retriever, who has taught me the responsibilities that come with owning a pet, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and tons of affection of course! I promise that I can provide the utmost safe, playful, and friendly environment for your pet(s), and can’t wait to meet you! I’m currently a full time dental student, we works from 8-12 and 2-5. I am able to go home during lunch, and I am very close to the school, so it takes me 10 minutes max to get to and from the school! I’m available all weekends and week nights! I live with two other young girls, and we live on a safe culdesac with a completely fenced in backyard, and our yard backs up to a local park, which is perfect for games of fetch and quick walks! I am serious about leash safety, and always make sure other dogs are on leashes when interacting with my own dog.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
Taylor is an amazing young woman...and a great photographer! She captured such charming images of my three cats and sent them every day. She took detailed notes of my instructions and when I came home, dishes were washed, sink was clean, house was tidy and the cats acted like I never left. That's the sign of a young professional who takes her job seriously and follows through on her commitment with precision.
Lucy did a wonderful job caring for my beloved cat for 12 days! She made sure he had fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and, most importantly, the love and attention my sensitive cat needs. She played with him and sent me lovely photos and daily updates that truly put my mind at ease. Thanks to Lucy, I enjoyed my time away knowing my precious cat was in loving hands. Highly recommend her!
Angelee was so great for Kitty! She came when we had arranged, she sent photos and our Kitty was very happy when I arrived back. Litter box managed, food available, she played with her and interacted with her. I was very pleased and happy to have her take care of Kitty and will ask her again. Everything was great!
I’m so pleased with the care and attention Heidi offered my two cats while I was on vacation. She followed all instructions for care, took lots of pictures/videos, and left detailed summaries of her visits! She was communicative through every step of the process. I highly recommend her!

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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
