About: With a background in animal biology and a long-standing passion for animal care, I offer thoughtful, dependable pet sitting rooted in understanding behavior, health, and individual needs. I work an early salaried job, which means I’m typically only out of the house from about 5am to 2pm. That schedule allows me to maintain consistent morning and evening care routines, spend quality time at home in the afternoons, and ensure pets receive regular attention, playtime, and meals throughout the day. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible, whether in my home or yours. In my home, pets receive a calm, structured environment with consistent feeding, litter or potty care, enrichment, and supervised free time. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining familiarity by respecting routines, spaces, and preferences, while providing attentive care, play, and companionship. I’m observant of behavior changes, prioritize safety, and communicate clearly with updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I've taken care dogs since I was 9. Friends and family has always relied on me to dog sit their pets, feed, and bathe. I am always happy to meet new dogs and spend time with them. I am mostly at home everyday and always have time to spend time for dogs. I am always open for any times and days. I am not so busy so I have lots of time to spend with pets. I have a fenced big yard for pups to have fun. I am also willing to have pups in doors as well. My house is very open and comforting.
“Emily was a great sitter! Our cat loved her. She took special care to learn all about him. She took note of how he likes to play, what food he likes, and even the little things that we do for him when we are home. We are looking forward to hiring her again!”
About: I have experience caring for my own two dogs and previously cared for my cat for many years. Through caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and recognizing when a pet needs extra attention or comfort. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, love, and care I would give my own. I attend college fully online, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. Your pet will receive consistent care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and walks. Because I attend college fully online, I’m home most of the time and can provide frequent bathroom breaks, exercise, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. For everyone’s safety and comfort, my own dogs will always be kept completely separate from any pets in my care. They will never be in the same room or have direct contact. This allows me to provide a calm, safe environment while giving your pet my full attention and ensuring every animal remains comfortable.
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for over 12 years and have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. Growing up, my family had Pekingese and Pitbulls, and I loved walking and caring for them. I recently cared for a Yorkie puppy who was learning to potty train and needed consistent practice with basic commands and tricks. I currently have two cats of my own, and friends, relatives, and neighbors have often trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I’ve also helped my aunt care for a pregnant cat and her foster kittens, including feeding, cleaning, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’ve also read extensively about why cats may be nervous or afraid of strangers and how to approach different cat personalities in a calm and respectful way. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My goal is always to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. ❤️ I have flexibility in my schedule for pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays after work, as well as weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide reliable, loving care while you’re away. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort and treat every home with care and respect. For drop-in visits and walks, I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet has everything they need. I’m also happy to take extra time to help shy or nervous pets feel comfortable with me. I’m happy to also take extra time to play with your pet if they feel comfortable to.
About: I’ve owned large and small dogs in the past, I have also taken care of dogs for neighbors and friends. I’ve cared for dogs that have special dietary needs and/or medication I am currently unemployed and have a flexible schedule, I also have reliable transportation and am great at communication. I’m very easy to work with. I own 2 cats and they are my babies, I take every chance I get to spoil them.

About: I am 26 years old and I have owned 2 dogs most of my life. I have taken care of my Labrador myself for the last 4 years and recently he passed away. I love dogs and other animals so much and feel they deserve to be treated like family. I work from home and am usually there most of the day. I am able to take walks and bathroom breaks very often so they never feel alone. I have a fenced front yard so they will remain safe and there is additional fencing outside of my front yard. I am also very attentive to the animal as I know what it’s like to leave my pet in someone else’s care. Where ever I am your pet will be also :)
“Awesome boarder, Mari took care of my two cats for four days straight and they seemed playful and happy! Mari sent me updates on my cats and helped out a ton with giving them love and attention. Will definitely turn to Mari in the future!”
“Alexis was exceptional! My cat absolutely adored her and was able to make the space her home away from home. She went above and beyond in her service and flexibility and really let me feel comfortable leaving my cat in her care.”
About: I grew up having dogs since I was a toddler and I’m very comfortable with them. I used to work at a doggy daycare as well where I learned a lot about reading dogs behavior and understanding when they’re comfortable. I have a large backyard for dogs that need space to roam around and plenty of space to potty for all. My 4 year old is always with me so I can only host a dog that is good with children and not aggressive. I’m a stay at home mom so I can provide a lot of potty breaks and attention to your pets! I have a 4 year old daughter that loves cats and dogs and has lots of energy so adding an animal to our routine is very easy. I’m always very respectful of your place. I know the trust that must be involved to let someone into your home and I don’t want to ruin that trust!
About: Hi, I'm Stacy! Dogs have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for a huge variety of breeds—from powerful and energetic pups like Dobermans and Pit Bulls to speedy Greyhounds and tiny Yorkies. I understand that every dog has a totally unique personality and requires a tailored approach, whether they need confident leadership, gentle patience, or just endless belly rubs. Currently, my home is run by my two amazing boys: Winston, a sweet Cocker Spaniel/Shih Tzu mix, and Pablo, my big, goofy rescue hound mix. I am very accustomed to strict feeding routines and prepping home-cooked meals, specific vegetables, and daily supplements. If your dog has a sensitive stomach, allergies, or a highly specific diet, I will follow your instructions. Whether your dog is a tiny senior looking for a quiet cuddle or a big, goofy rescue needing confident handling and long walks, I can't wait to meet them! I’m currently completing my degree, which gives me a highly flexible daily schedule and plenty of free time. I am available to drop in most days at almost any time, whether your pets need an early morning breakfast, a midday walk, or an evening play session. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I am highly comfortable managing medical needs and have hands-on experience administering daily injections for sick rescue kittens. I bring the same level of discipline and alertness from my military career to pet care, ensuring strict adherence to any medication or specialized dietary instructions you leave. I always maintain a calm environment and stay hyper-vigilant during walks or drop-ins so you can have complete peace of mind.
“Steele was reliable and very easy to communicate with! We used him for cat sitting for three weeks while we were traveling and had no problems at all. We definitely plan to use him again.”
“Halle was amazing! From the moment she met my pets it was clear that they would be in good hands. She checked it frequently and made sure both kitties got lots of love during their visits. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”

Ashley really came through for us on short notice after we moved into a new city. Glad to say we plan to work with her in the future. She was a delight to interact with and the cats loved her. Set a good schedule that she followed and gave us great daily updates while we were out of the country. Very trustworthy and was great also for helping keep an eye on the house.
Olivia was fantastic! I received so many pics and some videos of my for babies, it made being away from them a little easier. My animals warmed up to her very quickly and I felt quite comfortable with her taking care of them. I will absolutely be using her in the future!!!

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.

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.
