“Kyleigh was awesome!! She was super communicative and sent pictures every time she went to see my babies. Never got a chance to meet her but she made it a priority to know exactly what I expected from her for the week. She was always available to answer any questions I had which meant a lot to me. Will hope to use her services again if needed!! ❤️”

She was a breeze to work with and we absolutely look forward to utilizing her sitting services again in the future!”

About: I can't pass a pup in public without getting in a quick pet. If I'm meeting you for the first time I may or may not remember your name, but I'll remember every detail (including name) of your pup. I'm 50 years old, but when I'm in the presence of a furry friend, I start baby talking like a 2-year-old. Bottom line, I love dogs. I am Mama to 4 rescue pups and a rescue kitty. I've proudly fostered 9 rescues over the years and although it's a challenging job, it's extremely rewarding seeing them happy and healthy in their forever homes and knowing that I had a small part to play in that. I'm a stay-at-home Mom of two teenagers who don't need me nearly as much as they used too. That newly acquired free time enables me to accomodate almost any number of drop in visits per day to spend quality time with your fur baby! My pups are used to a specific routine and thrive when they are comfortable and know what to expect. With that being said, I'm happy to follow any care instructions that you request. From administering medication to going on fun-filled walks, your request is my command!

“Tricia bonded with my cats in the first contact. She was open to me checking in and communicated as needed and well during my time away. The cats were calm and looked well cared for when I returned. The house was also in good shape. She even bought a scratch pad for me to give to the cats - which they love.”

“My cats were well cared for while I was away for 2 weeks. They can be needy and high maintenance, so I deeply appreciate all the care that went into every visit. Lola gave great detail about how my cats were acting and how she played with them. She also included lots of pictures to ease any nerves about being away from my precious fur babies. I would definitely rebook!”

About: Ive been around pets all my life! I started raising dogs when I was 11 and have helped friends and nieghbors with their dogs and cats since I was 15. Tasks have ranged from small check-ins with pets, to staying overnight to keep them company. Right now I work at a local food pantry on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Sundays are also a busy day for me, but I can be very flexible and move times around with enough notice. I have one black short haired cat that I spend most of my time with. She stays indoors, but I let her come out on my back deck to get some air and a better view of the birds and chipmunks she always has beef with. She's the most hyperactive and persnicity cat I've ever had the pleasure of knowing, so I'm experienced with cats who have their own ways of playing.

About: I’ve had experience with cats and dogs my whole life. My family has had various breeds of dogs from ragdoll, Pom, and weenie- to Rottweiler and German Shepard. I have experience with big and small dogs and have enjoyed them all. I’ve learned each pet like humans has their own individual needs, worries/ anxiety, etc. I have had just as much experience with cats of various personalities- and have loved each one of them. I can ensure your furry loved one will be in safe, loving, and thoughtful care! ♥️ I’m a mom and a lifelong animal lover. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have always had a special bond with animals. My days are centered around creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. If care is provided on weekdays, it would likely involve my son being around as well since he is part of my daily routine. He is gentle, respectful, and loves animals just as much as I do. Any interactions with pets would always be supervised, and I would make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’m happy to follow their routines and give them the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. When pets stay in my home, I want them to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re away from their family. I know being in a new environment can be stressful for some animals, so I like to keep their routine as normal as possible by following their feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, and any instructions you provide. Every pet has their own personality, and I want to take the time and effort to know what makes them feel happy and secure.

About: For 15 years, I've been caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—and I believe every pet deserves a little VIP treatment! Think of my approach as a mix of loving home, pet spa, and adventure camp. Whether your pet loves belly rubs, puppy massages, squeaky toys, long walks, outdoor adventures, or simply curling up for a cozy nap, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I've cared for energetic puppies, helped reinforce basic puppy training over an extended stay, and provided gentle, compassionate care for a senior dog during his final days. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and comfort levels. My home is pet-ready with a toy box, cozy orthopedic dog bed, treats (with your approval!), and a supervised balcony with artificial grass for fresh air and people-watching. There's even a dog park just a short walk from my back door! I also enjoy taking pets on adventures—from neighborhood walks and nearby trails to scenic car rides when the weather isn't ideal, always with your permission. Need a special meal prepared, a bath, medication administered according to your instructions, or extra TLC? Let's talk about your pet's needs and what I can comfortably accommodate. My goal is simple: Your pet should feel like they're on vacation while you're away—and you should feel confident they're in loving hands. I primarily work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of companionship, attention, and personalized care throughout the day. I typically plan walks, potty breaks, and playtime every 3–4 hours, but I'm happy to adjust based on your pet's age, energy level, health, and established routine. My days can include morning walks, afternoon play sessions, cuddle breaks, enrichment activities, and evening wind-down time. For pets who enjoy exploring, I'm always up for an approved outdoor adventure or scenic car ride! Because I'm home much of the day, your pet won't just be waiting around for attention. They'll be part of my daily routine, with plenty of opportunities for interaction, exercise, rest, and affection. Whether your pet is a high-energy explorer or a professional couch companion, I'll work to make their stay feel comfortable, familiar, and fun. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved family member in someone else's care, and I take that responsibility seriously. In my home: Pets enjoy a comfortable, welcoming apartment with toys, an orthopedic dog bed, cozy resting spots, and a supervised balcony with artificial grass for enjoying fresh air. There's a dog park just outside my building, and I provide regular walks and outdoor play based on your pet's needs and comfort level. I follow your instructions regarding feeding, treats, medications, exercise, sleeping arrangements, and routines. I always ask about allergies, dietary restrictions, behavioral considerations, and anything that might make your pet anxious or uncomfortable. In your home: I respect your space and your pet's established routine. My goal is to keep their environment familiar and minimize disruption while providing reliable, attentive care. I never assume that every pet enjoys the same activities. Dog parks, trail walks, car rides, interactions with other animals, and special treats are always discussed with you first. I'm also happy to share photos and updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you're away. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and affection—as though they're part of my own family.

About: I've had pets growing up my entire life. I love animals and just enjoy being around them and giving them love! I've taken care of several pets for friends and family and just want to continue to do that for others when needed. I have my own business so I have a very flexible schedule and can be available day or night to take care of your furr babies 😊 My own animals are so friendly and loving and my home would be completely safe for ur furr babies but at this time I won't be able to board any pets at my house. This may change in the future.

About: I’ve been petting sitting since I was 13 from walking my neighbors dog while they were away for the day to feeding my best friends snake when she went on a 2 week vacation. There aren’t many animals I dislike and always open to taking care of new animals. I currently work in retail with a varying schedule but always off by 6 pm and every other weekend off. Most days I am in a 9-5 role but there are a few days that I open at 6 am. I am open to dog walking, house sitting at home or dropping in multiple times a day. I have multiple cats. I feed them a both wet food and dry food, scoop their litter boxes at least once a day with a once a week clean. I live in a small place, while I am not able to board I will check on your animal multiples times if needed, make sure they get plenty of enrichment and loves.

About: I grew up on a pig farm with various animals including dogs and cats. We had every pet I can think of big and small. While I don't miss the smell of the farm, I sure miss the animals and all the work that comes with them! I currently work from home and have a lot of time to entertain. I also have a teenager around who loves animals as well. When I am occupied with work, she is extremely helpful with tasks, feeding and playtime. I am knowledgeable about safety and will implement that information on a variable basis. Every situation will be different as every animal is different and requires different methods.

About: Growing up with 5 cats and 2 dogs, I have been an animal lover since day 1. My experience with dogs varies widely — from feeding litters of newborn pups to taking young German Shepards on long walks each day, I am ready to meet your pet’s needs! I am currently working part time and remote, so I will have plenty of wiggle room in my schedule to care for your furry friend! I am also available for weeknight or weekend boarding. I always maintain utmost hygiene standards when caring for your pet and their environment! I am always happy to make accommodations to ensure your peace of mind.

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.

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.

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.
