About: Hi, I’m Mya! I have a strong passion for animals and have spent the last seven years in 4-H caring for and working with a variety of animals. Through that experience, I’ve learned responsibility, patience, and how to properly care for animals of all personalities and needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just sitting with them and keeping them company. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, and I always do my best to give them that same level of care and attention. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I’m comfortable adjusting to each animal’s routine, energy level, and temperament. Whether your pet needs lots of activity and playtime or prefers a calm, quiet environment, I’m happy to meet their needs. My goal is to provide reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitting so you can have peace of mind knowing your animals are in good hands. I’m currently working part-time. I’ve been in 4-H for 7 years, working with a wide range of animals and people. I can do walks and help with medication I am respectful and can communicate within 24 hours or less. I am a certified equine light therapist and can do anything treatment and therapy you ask
“Stephanie was amazing to work with! Loves animals and in our case our cats. She was excellent in communication and did a great job sending us photos of the animals.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a very young girl. I grew up with at least two dogs in my household and several cats at all times! I work full time, but I do work from home! That means I get to spend all day hanging out with, taking care of, and loving on all the animals! I live in an apartment with a backyard, and I have a great complex with lots of areas for walking and playing! I can’t wait to meet your animals!
“Ashlyn was amazing! Was a great communicator and sent lots of photos of my cat. My cat is shy and lived Ashlyn. Will be rebooking with Ashlyn in the future.”

About: I've cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, tortoises, and fish, and have experience pet sitting overnight for many families. I'm especially passionate about caring for senior pets and those with physical disabilities. I've cared for two elderly dogs with mobility challenges, including one who lost the use of their back legs and needed assistance getting around and going outside. I understand that these pets require extra patience, gentleness, and individualized care, and I'm committed to making them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also volunteered for two years at a cat shelter, where I fed cats, deep-cleaned kennels and litter boxes, monitored their health, and administered medications according to their care plans. I also have experience giving medications to dogs. While I'm not a certified trainer, I've trained my own dogs and know how important consistency is. I'm happy to follow your pet's established commands, routines, and house rules to help them feel secure and maintain good habits. Living in Arizona has made me very flexible with schedules, including early morning or late evening walks during the summer heat. Above all, I know pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want for my own. As a graduate student, I attend classes Tuesday through Thursday, but I stay overnight in your home and return as soon as my classes are finished. My class schedule is consistent each week, so you'll always know when I'll be away and when I'll be back. I'm fully available Friday through Monday. I'm happy to discuss your pet's needs to make sure my schedule is a good fit. I believe the best pet care starts with keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions, and any household rules or commands your pet is already familiar with so they feel comfortable while you're away. Whether I'm caring for a playful puppy, an independent cat, or a senior pet who needs extra assistance, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, make sure fresh water is always available, and provide plenty of affection while respecting each pet's individual personality and boundaries. I also know how important communication is when someone else is caring for your pet. I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic pups to relaxed seniors. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining feeding and potty schedules, administering oral medications, and adapting to each dog’s unique routine. I understand that every dog has different needs, whether that’s a leisurely walk, playtime, extra patience with anxiety, or simply quiet companionship. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, and energy level so I can quickly communicate anything important to you. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first, and I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and care I’d want for my own pets. Hi! I’m a dependable, detail-oriented animal lover who understands that pets are family. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home the majority of the month and am home every Monday and Friday. On those days, my children are at school, so it’s just me, my two cats, and your pet at home. This gives your pet plenty of attention, companionship, and a calm environment throughout the day. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so communication is a priority. You’ll receive regular updates with photos, videos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, medications, and favorite activities so they receive personalized care. Whether your pet loves walks and playtime or prefers a quiet day with lots of cuddles and relaxation, I’ll follow their routine and make sure they feel comfortable. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always come first. Your pet’s safety is my highest priority. Before every booking, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, triggers, and favorite activities so I can provide care that’s as close to home as possible. If caring for your pet in my home, I only accept calm, well-mannered dogs that are comfortable around cats, since I have two cats of my own. Dogs stay indoors in a clean, smoke-free home, receive potty breaks at least three times a day, fresh water at all times, and walks as needed. For visits in your home, I respect your space, carefully follow your instructions, and make sure your pet stays comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

“I highly recommend her as a pet sitter. She was incredibly attentive to our cat’s needs and picky preferences. She also kept everything very neat and clean, and we fully trusted leaving both our home and our pet in her care.”


About: I have experience caring and owning dogs and have fully experienced the many different personalities each pet can have. I'm very comfortable dealing with anxious and excited doggos and have no problem taking time to build a relationship with each one. I am currently unemployed so I am able to care for pets at all times of the day and stay overnight to keep then company. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine, and any instructions provided for pets needing medication. I also spend additional time bonding with them and letting them get used to me being around even if that means keeping my distance until they work up to me. I have 0 problems handling pets with potty issues as most of the ones I watch have accidents waiting for me when I arrive!

About: I’ve taken care of animals from dogs to lizards to horses! I love all animals and think they all have such different personalities and it’s so cool to spend time with different breeds! I’m currently taking a break from real estate and want to find something more fulfilling. I was thinking of fostering but I think rover may provide what I’m looking for with animals! I have a fenced yard with a tall wall and live in a gated community with plenty walking areas and a grass dog park, I can provide food and water and toys and leashes, etc.
“Cinda is wonderful!! I have a busy schedule with being a travel nurse, and she is very accommodating to the random days of the week that I have to work! Highly recommend her for your fur babies :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,875 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across New River. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

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 .
