About: Hello, my name is Austin! I grew up on a farm in Ohio and have taken care of many pets over the years including my favorites- cats and dogs! I’m new to the Menlo Park area and would love to provide any help I can for you and your pet’s needs! I’m currently working from 5am-2pm. I am available most weekday afternoons/ evenings anytime after getting done at 2pm! This leaves me a good block of time to help out most any afternoons. My lease does not allow me to care for any pets at my home, but I am more than happy to take care of your pets and abide by any rules or requirements you have for me :)

“Amber was fantastic. I came home to a happy and healthy pup. She was a good communicator, left detailed recaps of her visits, and took great photos! I will definitely call on Amber again the next time I have to go out of town.”
“Kim is the best pet sitter! She’s very communicative and responds to messages quickly. She’s amazing with cats! My three kitties loved spending time with her during her visits. My cat Pebble is prickly and particular with who she likes, but she warmed up to Kim in no time. Not an easy task! Pebble has special needs and Kim had no issues giving her medicine and her inhaler. She also cared for our tortoise and watered my plants. Kim kept our place so clean it looked even better than before we left! I highly recommend her and will definitely be hiring her in the future!”

Thank you so much for watching our boys while we were in Italy and we really appreciated all of your hard work and updates throughout the week. It was the longest time they had ever been alone but seemed to have done really well so thank you again so much.

Jenna did an amazing job taking care of our cat Maddy for two weeks while we were away. Everything went super smoothly, and she was great with our shy cat, who warmed up to her very quickly. Jenna was very communicative, always on time, and sent us plenty of messages and photos. We would definitely have her back to take care of Maddy again. Thanks for everything Jenna!
Julie Mae is the absolute BEST!! She always goes above and beyond for us and our sweet cat Kinsie. She sends lots of pictures, takes extra good care of her, gives her lots of cuddles and love while we’re gone, takes care of litter, food, and water, and even helps with trash/vacuum of the litter! We know Kinsie is always in such good hands with Julie Mae and she will always be our go to :)
Morgan took care of our two kittens for 2 weeks! It gave my husband and I so much peace of mind knowing that they were with her. She made sure they were well fed, clean, loved, and entertained while we were away. She was always very communicative and responsive. I could not recommend her enough.
Teagan took great care of our cat as always! His tail was so high up in the photos. You can tell he's always super happy to see Teagan. She was really observant and noticed his cat door had an issue and went out of her way to let us know. We really appreciate knowing he's well cared for while we're away!
Once again, Yifan was great with my cat Rhys! I appreciate her attention to detail and her thorough report cards! I enjoyed reading them each evening while away and seeing photos of Rhys. Thank you again Yifan for your thoughtful care of both Rhys and my place!

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.

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 Meet & Greet .

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.
