About: I've been pet-sitting professionally for people since 2017. I've had cats my entire life, dogs for almost as long, and I'm happy to take care of animals with special needs! I easily bond with most pets, and love smaller life as well! Currently have a free schedule, I'm available most hours to care for your furever friend.

About: I have taken care of animals from a young age, we have always had family pets from dogs to cats, lizards, fish, rescues etc. and my grandparents had farm animals like horses pigs, chickens and goats that I was around from a young age also. I have always cared for our family pets as well as neighbors, friends, and family throughout the years. I typically house sit when watching the animals also and can take care of things like collecting mail and packages, etc. I currently work part time form home so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to care for animals. I also enjoy going outside so don't mind taking dogs on walks etc. I have a 1 acre fenced in backyard with lots of grass and trees for animals to play. I also have an outdoor enclosed fence about 8x10 that I can use to separate dogs if needed. And I have about a 5x8 fully enclosed outdoor catio as well. I have plenty of space inside the home to let animals rest as well as a garage if it is too hot during the day.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, literally since the day I was born. My experience spans dogs, cats, birds, horses, donkeys, goats, and rabbits, giving me a deep understanding of animals with very different personalities, needs, and routines. I began fostering animals at 12 years old alongside my mom, helping care for them and place them into loving forever homes. My first job was as an in home pet sitter, and I immediately fell in love with providing animals the consistent care, attention, and comfort they need while their families are away. For over 10 years, I managed a farm, which taught me how to confidently handle multiple animals at once, follow detailed care routines, and stay calm, observant, and organized in dynamic environments. While I have years of hands on experience, my love and respect for animals has always come first. As a pet parent myself, I understand the anxiety that can come with leaving your pets in someone else’s care. Because of that, I’m intentional about clear communication, regular updates, and treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in caring hands while you’re away. I’m currently working remote so my schedule always is very flexible. I can provide multiple potty breaks through out the day and I also enjoy taking pets on a mid day walk. I have a fenced in yard, two friendly dogs and a quiet neighborhood perfect for our daily walks. Crating is also available per your request.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for many pets. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and fun care that meets the unique needs of each pet. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or snuggle sessions, I make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’m also experienced in administering medications, following specific care routines, and providing extra attention to pets with special needs. With me, your pet will get the attention and care they deserve! I offer availability to fit your pet’s routine. Whether you need a one-time visit, regular walks, or extended overnight care occasionally. I’m available for: Morning walks or playtime: Perfect for an energetic start to the day! Midday check-ins or walks: Ideal for busy pet parents. Evening care: Including dinner, playtime, and bedtime snuggles. I’m happy to work with you to create a custom schedule that works best for your pet’s needs. Feel free to message me with your preferred times and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I take every step to ensure your pet feels safe and secure in my care. I strictly follow any safety guidelines or special care instructions you provide to ensure your pet’s needs are met with the utmost attention. Building trust is essential to me, and I understand how important it is to leave your pet in the hands of someone reliable. I treat your pet as if they were my own, offering constant love, care, and a watchful eye. I’m always happy to provide updates, share photos, and answer any questions to keep you informed while you’re away. Rest assured, your pet will be in a caring, safe, and welcoming environment, where they can feel comfortable and enjoy every moment.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10, currently we have a 12 year old dog, a 5 year old dog, and a 1 year old kitten. I’m very comfortable with cats, they’re very sweet. I’ve been dog walking for the past few years and worked with dogs of all kinds. I’m a teacher so I’m off for the summer! I’m pretty much available any day! I’m just trying to get some hours in this summer to work on my savings. I can stay with your pet for as long as you need and I will be able to crate your dog if you would like!
About: I have over 6 years of experience with professional in-home pet care, along with a lifetime of caring for my own dogs. I am also certified through the PPCA! I understand how important it is to give your pets the same love and attention I give my own! I truly enjoy spending time with pets, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just quiet companionship. My goal is to be a little part of your family and provide that peace of mind while you are away! Pet care is my full time job! My husband is home for my fur babies every night and morning if I need to be at overnights. And I make sure I have time to check in on my babies during the day if have a full day! When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy by following their normal routines as closely as possible. I provide plenty of attention through walks, playtime, and companionship, always practicing proper leash etiquette and respecting feeding or medication instructions. I create a calm, caring environment where pets feel secure, whether they’re playful, need a little extra patience, or are in delicate stages of life, so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for.

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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
