“Carly was amazing! My cats are usually very shy but they warmed up to her in no time! She was able to watch our babies on very short notice and made sure to send lots of pictures and videos! I will definitely rebook her for future needs.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog dad who’s raised everything from tiny puppies to wild, energetic corgis and a sweet Aussie doodle. My wife and I currently have both, so I’m very used to high-energy breeds, stubborn personalities, and dogs who need structure, patience, and plenty of play. I’ve also cared for our senior dog through physical therapy, mobility support, and daily medication management, so I’m comfortable with dogs who need extra attention or special routines. Over the years, I’ve trained multiple dogs to behave reliably off‑leash, and I take pride in helping dogs feel confident, safe, and understood. I’m home full‑time right now, supporting my wife’s business and caring for our own pups, which means I’m flexible, responsible, and able to give your dog the kind of consistent, attentive care that makes them feel right at home. I’m also happy to care for cats with the same patience and attention I give dogs. We have two cats of our own with completely different personalities, so I’m comfortable with shy, independent cats as well as social, curious ones. I understand their routines, boundaries, and quirks, and I make sure they feel safe, respected, and cared for while you’re away. I’m home full‑time right now, caring for our dogs and supporting my wife’s business, so my schedule is very flexible throughout the day. I just ask for at least a day’s notice so I can plan around our home routine, but once scheduled, I’m able to give your pets consistent attention and care. Even though I’m home most of the time, I can be out for a couple of hours when needed, and I’m comfortable coordinating visits, walks, or drop‑ins around that. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while keeping communication clear and easy. Your pet’s safety is always my first priority. I keep a calm, structured home where routines are followed, boundaries are respected, and every animal gets the attention they need to feel secure. I’m experienced with puppies, high‑energy dogs, seniors who need extra support, and cats with all kinds of personalities, so I’m comfortable adjusting care to match each pet’s needs. I maintain a clean, pet‑friendly environment with safe spaces for resting, supervised play, and outdoor time when appropriate. I’m reliable, communicative, and always mindful of each pet’s comfort level. Whether your pet needs medication, extra patience, or just a steady, reassuring presence, I make sure they’re cared for with consistency, respect, and genuine love.
About: I have been caring for pets for a long time! I am very familiar with alarms and enjoy caring for other people’s pets! Nothing scares me. Not even 4 litter boxes. I am the kind of person who does it all. I’m commonly baking or gardening, but will always make time in my life to care for pets! They love us no matter what so they deserve lots of love! I am familiar with alarms and comfortable with cameras. I try to treat everyone’s home with respect and clean up after myself. Pet care can get messy but I’ll find the paper towels and clean up, don’t worry!
About: Since I was 16, I’ve been trusted with the care of pets for my family, extended family, friends, and neighbors. I walk my own dog daily, and I have two cats of my own, so I know firsthand how to care for both dogs and cats. I’ve house-sat for a variety of pets, making sure they feel happy, active, and loved. I’m confident managing different pets and routines, and I treat every animal as if it were my own. I work from home with flexible hours, and the only times I’m usually in the office are Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, I can adjust those days if needed. I’m happy to stay at your home or work from there as long as there’s Wi-Fi. Just let me know what works best for you! In my home, my cats and dog are truly family—so they have a routine full of love, playtime, and a set schedule for meals and rest. When I care for your pets, I bring that same royal treatment to them. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of play and attention, and a safe, structured environment. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I make it a priority to follow exactly what you need, while always keeping their comfort and safety first.
About: I have been a dog lover since I was a young child, and have been a Veterinary Assistant for 10 years now working with dogs and cats of all breeds and ages. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was a teenager, and have loved all the experiences. I have a true passion for helping all animals but have a soft spot for seniors! I currently work mornings as a Veterinary Assistant and the rest of my day is spent with my son at home. I have good flexibility during the early afternoon, and the evenings as well! Drop ins and walks would be perfect for my current schedule. I only watch animals at the clients’ home due to not having a fence and having a young son that doesn’t understand boundaries with animals quite yet. I would not want to cause stress to an animal being out of their comfort space!
“Erilyn watched my two cats for almost 2-weeks while I was overseas! Although my scaredy cats wouldn’t come out to play, she took good care of their needs! We had regular communication and photos. I will definitely use her again, even if the kitties hide 😂 Thanks for scouring the house trying to find them 😂🤣😆”
“Morgan was great as always! She took great care of our fur babies. She even cleaned out the food dishes when they were empty. Love having her come take care of our babies.”

My absolute favorite thing about Jaclyn is her consistency. I know I can count on her to provide great care to Severus and Draco. She is great with them and takes care to ensure they are safe and loved while I can’t be there with them. She is hands down our only preferred sitter. 💕

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.

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 .
