I'm a dolphin trainer at Discovery Cove and I'll strive to provide the same top-notch care for your fur family! I may be new to Rover but I have a ton of animal care experience. I'm a dolphin trainer by day but don't worry I'll make sure to prioritize your pet's needs as well as I do the dolphins! As a specialist in animal behavior and medical care I know how to address your pet's needs, whether they need medications or just an extra snuggle while you're gone!
About: I’ve never gone a day in my life without a dog or two until I moved out of my parents house. I’ve had everything from Maltese to Belgian Malinois and English Black Labs. I am used to super calm and super hyper and super lazy. My schedule makes drop-in check-ins smooth and predictable! I’m available for early morning check-ins before 8:00 AM, as well as evening visits after 5:00 PM (Tuesday through Friday). Mondays are my only busy evening, but my weekends are wide open for flexible drop-ins throughout the day. "During drop-in check-ins, I prioritize keeping your pet’s daily routine consistent, calm, and predictable. I strictly follow your precise instructions for feeding, fresh water, and medication, while providing dedicated one-on-one attention, play, and clean space maintenance
“Elizabeth was exceptional, she sent constant notes with what they did and sent adorable photos of my kitty after every visit. She kept the place just as I left it and showed my pet constant love and I could tell from all the photos they were having a great time! Will 1000% rebook when the opportunity arises.”

“I cannot recommend Holland enough! She took amazing care of my cat while I was away, and it was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being. She followed all instructions perfectly, and even went the extra mile to spend extra time petting and playing with him which I really appreciated. When I returned, my cat was relaxed and happy, and the litter box area and feeding station were spotless. Holland is reliable, professional, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. It’s such a relief to know I can trust her completely with my fur baby.”
“Kaia was by far and away our favorite sitter we have found through this app. Her communication is wonderful, she brought in a package for us, offered to water my plants, she gave us tons of pictures to fawn over while we missed our girls, and she spent so much time playing with them and getting to know them. Her updates described our girls to a T, so I know she actively played with our cats. Will 100% book with her again when I need a sitter in the future.”
“He was very kind and thorough with my cat. He paid close attention to all the details and asked questions. I really appreciated how careful and precise he was. Great communication and very punctual. Thank you!”
“Athena is very reliable and great with communication. She has checked in on our cats on multiple occasions and I know that they are in great hands. I always appreciate the pictures and updates.”
“She is a very nice person, communication with her is really good, willing to deal with the customer’s schedule and needs, great and safe location, and provides daily pictures and updates. I would love to have her as my pet sitter again.”
“Jessie was truly the best cat sitter I could have ever asked for. My cat Marvin is special needs due to his diabetes and she was extremely thorough, attentive, and truly cared about Marvin’s wellbeing. Jessie was also super flexible in being able to see Marvin still when I had a last minute change in my plans. She sends lots and lots of pictures and detailed updates as well which I so so appreciate being so far away from him. I will absolutely be requesting Jessie again and can confidently say she would do the same for your pet!”

I've worked n the veterinary field for the past 3 years, which has given me experience recognizing health concerns, following medication instructions, and handling animals safely and confidently. As an aspired veterinarian, I treat every animal with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I'd want for my own pets I’m a student with most of my classes online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine, whether that’s morning, midday, or evening visits.

I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications or special care needs. I make it a priority to keep the home clean, secure, and exactly as I found it while giving pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times. I also provide regular updates, including messages and photos, so owners can feel confident and reassured while they’re away.

“Kala was amazing! She sent me pics of my baby frequently and made sure to keep me updated regularly on how he was doing! I came back to a happy and content cat, which is always the best feeling when being away from your animals. I would definitely use Kala in the future and highly recommend.”
“My first time leaving my little fella and also my first time using Rover and couldn't be happier. Nick stayed in daily communication with me throughout the week to let me know how it was going. I will most definitely rebook again!”

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.

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.
