About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for and training many different species. 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 generally available in the evenings Friday - Tuesday and anytime on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I'm a dolphin trainer by day but don't worry I'll make sure to prioritize your pet's needs as much 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!

“This is the second time Athena has taken care of our kitties while we were on vacation and we are consistently impressed. She is very communicative, provides really sweet updates with photos, and is super helpful if packages unexpectedly show up. We highly recommend and definitely plan to use her again!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is definitely how friendly and caring I can be,I actually really wanted to Dog Sit so I can actually get to know people in my neighborhood.I’ve helped my friends take care of their dogs/cat whenever I’m by their house,I feed them,play with them,clean them and walked them a good number of times.My goal for dog sitting is to do my job flawlessly,get to know the people I’m assisting,and getting to know the pet I’m taking care of. Dog Sitting fits into my schedule perfectly,I’m currently doing online school so I’m able to do my work whenever I want to.So I’m extremely flexible when it comes to scheduling for me to Dog sit. I would care for the pet by spending time with it,walking with it(if a dog),feeding it,etc.That way I can ensure the pet’s safety and well-being while in my care.
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
“Thank you Jenn, we love having you and we can see Fish loves her time spent with you. Thank you for your great communication, many photos and caring. You shine! We can clearly see you love what you do. We look for to working with you again. Matt, Loretta and Fish”

About: I’ve taken care of my own cats and dogs until their passing of old age or adoption. I’m very kind and loving towards all animals. I work full time, but I have 3 days off during the week and I would love to take care of your pet in my free time! I understand that giving access to someone else’s home and pet can be scary, but I assure you that I will take good care of your pet and your home!
About: Very playful and loving with any kind of dogs. I enjoy taking them out for walks and giving them a good workout. Your fur babies will have lots of fun and plenty of breaks as well. And they will receive plenty of love and cuddles while under my care. I am currently working evenings to nighttime at a part time job. I am completely available Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I can also care for your fur baby on Saturdays if needed. In case of an emergency, there is a vet near my apartment building I can take your fur baby to. The house is always locked at nighttime and there are plenty of locations to take them on walks and exercise during the day.
About: I have always been the "go to" person to care for friend and family pets. Mostly dogs and cats but willing to learn if you need any other kind of pet watched :) I currently work from home. I am home all day with the pets and will be able to tend to anything they might need. :) I have a large living room and am able to keep an eye on all pets at all times along with provide the required amount of walks your pet might need
“Marla took such great care of my cat while I was traveling that I was able to enjoy my trip without any worries. She went above and beyond everything I asked for. I highly recommend her.”

“My cat and I loved Cali! My cat can be a little shy and she came right out to hang out with her and get pets and cuddles. Cali kept me updated about how my cat was doing and I appreciated her help!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong cat lover who understands that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. This I know from my own personal experience raising my roommates cats and having two of my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your babies while you're away. And that is why I am happy to help. In addition to caring for my own cats, I've also looked after the cats of several roommates over the years. From feeding and refreshing water to scooping litter boxes, playtime, administering lots of love and attention, and respecting each cat's individual boundaries, I'm experienced with the day-to-day care that helps cats feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I specialize in drop-in visits because I know most cats are happiest staying in their familiar environment. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and prefers a quiet companion, I'll care for them with patience, kindness, and the same level of attention I give my own cats. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family! I currently offer afternoon, evening, and weekend drop-in visits, making me a great fit for cats who need care while you're working late, traveling, or enjoying a weekend getaway. I specialize in home care so I would just need information about the cat, instructions for care, a list of your household items you would like me to use for their care, and we would be all set. 😊
About: I have taken care of dogs for 9 years since I was 18 years old. I have also cared for senior dogs that required meds and made sure they got them on time. I have taken care of a cat and a bunny as well. I love dogs and love to care for them as if they were my own. I myself have a beautiful baby girl! I currently don’t have a full time job so I would have a lot of open time and space and flexibility whenever needed to do any bookings! I have a fenced backyard but I do know how to get a dog in and out of a crate if needed or leash them if required. I keep them within my sight and I also pick up after them when needed.

About: I have experience working in a vet office and working with pets. I’ve always loved animals and they gravitate towards me naturally. I am patient, reliable, and calm with all animals. I am working full time, however, I have evenings and weekends available. I currently work 7-3:30pm and I am available after work. My evenings and weekends are yours as needed. With my previous experience of working in a vet office I have experience in working with dogs of all temperaments and sizes. I am confident in maintaining a calm environment.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 6 years, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love doing. I started by helping friends, neighbors, and family with their pets, and over time I became the person everyone called when they needed someone they could trust. I’m also a Frenchie mom, so I understand how important it is to have someone who treats your pets like family. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities.. Whether a dog is shy, playful, or a little stubborn, I have patience and experience working with different personalities. When I come for a visit, I don’t just do the basics and leave. I make sure your pets get love, playtime, and real interaction so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re gone. Over the years, I’ve helped with feeding routines, medication, crate time, potty breaks, walks, and keeping pets entertained and comfortable. I’m reliable, gentle, and always focused on making sure pets feel safe and cared for. Your pets will be treated like my own with plenty of affection, attention, and care at every visit. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I currently work part-time from home and make my own schedule. This gives me plenty of flexibility to stop by for visits and walks throughout the day. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, or evening care, I’m able to adjust my schedule to make sure they get the attention and love they need. I’m also available on weekends and can often accommodate same-day requests if something comes up unexpectedly. As a Frenchie mom, I know how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. At home, my own dog gets plenty of attention, playtime, and walks throughout the day, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow your routines and instructions so your pets feel secure and comfortable. I take my time during visits, make sure they have fresh water, food, exercise, and lots of love. I’m gentle, patient, and treat every animal as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety and happiness will always come first.
About: Hi, my name is Angeline! I have been surrounded by animals and in love with all kinds of animals and nature since I was little, and plan on achieving a degree in Veterinary medicine. I have been exposed to plenty of environments with dogs and cats, as a vet assistant, as a dog walker for shelters, and as a daycare/grooming manager in university. I am very comfortable around all animals and they are a big source of joy for me, and I volunteer at an animal refuge and a horse sanctuary in my free time! I have grown to appreciate through my experience that every pet has unique qualities, and that getting to know them is the best way to make them feel loved & to make pet parents feel supported. I am confident in administering medications, special requests, and providing care to animals that may be unsure about a sitter, as I think good communication and a patient attitude can mean the world to pets at home & pet parents alike. I currently work full time as a veterinary assistant in the afternoons, so I work great for walks in mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Just send a request and I will be sure to try to accommodate! I am flexible on where to go to take care of your animals, and what services you need most at particular times of the day. I can guarantee good communication and flexibility on my part to make your busy days easier.

“Brook came for almost a week to let our three senior dogs out at lunch. Brooke was timely and very good with our dogs, all of which have different personalities! She was also very responsible in her communication to let us know when she was leaving the house so we knew when to make sure we are home. Her previous experience made it easy for us to know that she would be able to handle anything and we look forward to our next trip out of town, when Brooke will come and house sit our three guys.”
About: Iv always had a passion for animals and working with them since I was a kid growing up around them and I currently have a dog myself! I’m currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to work with your pets! I love going on walks especially with a furry pup! I currently have a 85+ pound dog myself I know how to handle big dogs and I love every size pup! I take good care of any animals even if there not mines I want what’s best for ur furry friend

About: I’ve volunteered hundreds of hours in animals hospitals and pet spa care facilities. I’ve also worked as a kennel technician while previously studying to become a veterinarian. Now just an animal lover that can apply specific care where needed! Experience with all ages of cats and dogs. I’m currently working full time for pet care! I am available for your pets needs at many times throughout the week and can accommodate most. I grew up with dogs in screened in patio, fenced areas, and roamers. I currently have 2 healthy cats at the ages of 2 and 3. I can care depending on instructions!
About: Animals have been a huge part of my day-to-day for as long as I can remember. I’m a lifelong animal lover (and admittedly a bit of a compulsive animal rescuer!) who has raised, rescued, and cared for many animals over the years. Today, I’m the proud owner of two cats, Midge and Maisel, and a dog, Baloo, of my own. My experience goes beyond everyday pet care. I’ve cared for animals during recovery, pets with special circumstances and additional needs, senior animals requiring extra patience and attention, and dogs with behavioral challenges. I understand that every animal has their own personality, comfort level, and routine, and I’m comfortable adjusting my approach to what helps them feel safe and cared for. While dogs and cats are the animals I work with most, my experience is pretty diverse! Over the years I’ve also cared for birds, fish, sugar gliders, snakes, and a handful of rescued wildlife—including raccoons, squirrels, a deer, and even an opossum. Above all, I treat the animals in my care like I would want someone to treat my own—with patience, affection, attentiveness, and respect for their individual needs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I work part-time and remotely Monday through Saturday, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the day. Because I work from home, I can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and pets who need a little more attention or companionship during the day. I know that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, so I take both responsibilities seriously. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible by following their normal routines, feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, house rules, and any special instructions you provide. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show mine—keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as you left them. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
