“Jennifer goes above and beyond with every visit, not just doing her duties but making sure our pets are happy, safe and healthy. She's also so helpful with any other requests we gave. Amazing job!”
“Kate and Tim are the best. Our two Siamese and our Collie love them! We worked so well together via phone and text/email so that we all understood what our boys needed. They sent pics and updates every day. Came home to a tidy home and happy pets.”
“Lauren was so great with Tuna and very accommodating! My sitter went MIA when I showed up to drop Tuna off, so I needed a last minute Rover and Lauren answered my request right away - The rest is history and I couldn’t haven been happier with my choice for a sitter for Tuna! My cat was well taken care of and her dog, Millie, was sweet with Tuna. Would highly recommend!!”
“I’ve had a couple of bad experiences using Rover in the past with boarding in someone else’s home so I decided to give drop in visits a try. Robert was very good at communicating with us and made sure our dog was well cared for during the few days we were gone. He was very trustworthy and I would seek him out in the future.”
“Another fantastic experience with Brit! She always goes above and beyond taking care of my two cats. She communicates perfectly by sending tons of photos and videos as well as any observations she has made. I have recommended Brit to my friends and I would recommend her to anyone that wants peace of mind that their pets will be well taken care of while they are away!”
“Sophia is amazing, her love for cats is very evident and I feel as if she genuinely cared for my cat's well-being. Sophia is very responsive to messages and willingly provides additional updates, I felt completely comfortable leaving my cat and my home in her care. Every visit Sophia took plenty of photos and included notes on behavior, water intake, eating habits, and litter box usage. My cat missed her so much after the visits ended, he even made biscuits on the sofa where they used to hang out together. I will definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to any pet owner.”
About: I’ve been caring for all kinds of furry animals for several years and absolutely love spending time with them. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and other furry companions, and I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique needs, personality, and routine. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, and I always treat every animal like my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member soon! I’m available every day for pet care and would love the opportunity to spend time with your pets! I have a daytime work schedule during the week, but for house sitting, I’m able to stay in your home, care for your pets in the morning before heading out, and return after work to continue their routine and spend quality time with them. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule and make sure they continue receiving the care and attention they’re used to. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and little quirks. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing with their favorite toys, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. I’ll make sure your pets receive consistent care throughout your time away, including meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also attentive to keeping their environment clean and making sure everything is left just as I found it. When you’re away, I want your pets to feel as comfortable and secure as possible in their own home. I understand that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, so I do my best to provide reliable communication, regular updates, and lots of reassurance. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pets are being cared for, loved, and treated like they’re my own while you’re away. 🐾💕 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning if needed, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I also make sure the home stays neat and send updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
“She was amazing! Pictures and notes every visit! She let me know everything going on, sent me pictures of not only my pup but of how the house looked, picked up after my clumsy dog and was on top of communication! I absolutely recommend Carmen and will use her again if I’m out of town!”
About: With 30+ years of life with cats & dogs, I bring calm, loving, experienced care tailored to each dog or cat’s unique needs. I pay close attention to routines, energy levels, and personalities, whether that means long walks, slow strolls, playtime, or quiet companionship. My goal is for your cat or dog to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for, not just watched, while you’re away. I own my own business and work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Because I’m in control of my day, dogs/cats get consistent attention, timely walks, meals on schedule, and plenty of companionship, never long stretches alone. This allows me to truly adapt to each dog’s/cat’s routine, energy level, and individual needs. I’m happy to care for your dog/cat in the comfort of your own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow your routines closely, i.e. walks, meals, medications, and playtime, so your dog’s/cats’s day stays familiar while you’re away. Being in their own space helps reduce stress and keeps things calm and comfortable.
About: Hey friends! 👋 I grew up with three dogs, where my love for animals began. There were always plenty of them nearby (mostly cats and our family dog along with neighbors’ dogs). As a late teen, I worked at an animal hospital, where I learned more about how to properly care for the animals (walking, feeding, bathing, etc). If I care for your fur babies, they will be treated as part of my extended family! Additional experience includes: - administering insulin injections -providing a calm and safe environment for overly anxious pets -caring for elder pets that might require extra attention and/or need hygiene assistance. Direct access to community greenbelt and easy to access walkways. Treats n extra play come included! I am currently working part time remotely. I have a lot of extra time to care for your fur babies because I create my own schedule. brick fenced yard with sliding door open to have even more space. super fun, private, safe, and quiet! perfect location to relax from the nearby busy area and peace of mind knowing the neighborhood is enclosed. I will be holding myself to the highest standard when your dog comes. Wherever, you may be, this is the solution to an stress-free trip or vacation. If I’m caring for your pets in your home, don’t be afraid to leave me detailed instructions! I know how important it can be to stick with a certain schedule, and that animals thrive in comfortable, safe environments.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Nelson
This was my first time working with Jen and she was so lovely!!! My pets adored her, her updates and communication were thorough, and she just had a really nice way of working with all of us. I very much felt that she cared about all of our experiences, that she was knowledgeable about animal behavior, and overall a thoughtful individual. I highly recommend Jen.

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.

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 .
