About: I’ve grown up with animals! I’ve always had a cat to take care of! I got my first kitten when I was around 5 years old! ever since I’ve had an amazing connection with all animals but especially cats more than anything. I have watched over dogs many of times. I can handle a big dog but I am mainly used to small/medium dogs ahah:) I’ve currently have dealt with puppies and them being sick! I have learned many new things along the way! I am so excited to learn more things about animals as I watch over them. I have only ever pet sit once through rover, but I can assure you I have plenty of experience and knowledge when it comes to animals! Your dog/cat would be so lucky to have me watch over them:) I currently have no full time job! which gives me more time for your fur babies.. I am currently in school working on getting closer to being a veterinarian assistant:)) my schooling is completely online though so I can bring it wherever I go. I am majoring in Animal Science! I would care for your fur babies in your home the same as if you were there. provided you leave me with a schedule of your pets day!
About: Animals have been a big part of my life for many years. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, as well as cats, horses, birds, reptiles, and other farm animals. Having owned dogs ranging from 4 to 125 pounds, I’m comfortable with a wide variety of breeds, temperaments, and care needs. I can administer medications to most dogs and am happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, exercise, and daily routines. I know how important consistency is for pets, and I work hard to care for them exactly as you would. I love taking photos and sending regular updates, so you’ll know your pet is happy, safe, and receiving plenty of attention while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind. I have recently retired from full-time employment as a teacher. I spend my free time with the animals on my small personal farm and volunteering with Save the Horses Rescue. I prefer to care for pets in their own environments, adhering closely to their regular routines and feeding. Keeping schedules structured minimizes stress for most animals. I understand the importance of a consistent diet, especially when owners are away.

I currently have availability all days of the week with some difference between weekdays and weekends. On weekdays it's 9:30am-Noon and on weekends it's 8am-9pm. I've taken care of cats for my entire life. I have had cats of all ages. I currently have 2 kittens both are 7 months old their names are Haven and Juniper.
“Kathy was a dream come true. I have two cats. A young and feisty female and an elderly male cat (18 years old). She took care of them like a rock star getting them both to warm up to her in the 7 days we were away. She spent time with them and nurtured them like I would. The older cat is in diapers and she handled that like a charm. When we got home our house was in order and very clean. She brought in the mail and put out the trash and generally treated our home as if it was hers. I highly recommend Kathy and will definitely use her again.”
“Jennifer was accommodating before we left on our trip to ensure she was a good fit with our pet. Loved her personality, and she was very knowledgable. Our pet was drawn to her right away. While we were away, we received daily updates with pics that showed her very involved with him. When we came home you could tell he was well taken care of. Would use Jennifer again.”
About: I’m a retired special educator with a lifelong love for dogs, and I bring the same patience, reliability, and attentiveness to pet care that I did to my years in the classroom. I’ve worked with big dogs, tiny puppies, and dogs with different abilities — including my most recent dog, who was a tripod — so I’m very comfortable adapting to each pup’s unique needs and personality. Over the years, I’ve also worked closely with multiple trainers for my own dogs, which has given me a solid understanding of basic training techniques, positive reinforcement, and how to support good habits. Whether your dog needs a calm, steady presence, an experienced handler, or someone who understands how to support mobility or behavioral differences, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I take pride in being responsible, communicative, and fully dedicated to their comfort and wellbeing. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine will always be my top priority. I am a recently retired (but still young!) special educator so I am extremely flexible these days. I’ll keep my calendar up to date for availability. If I am in town, I can often take last minute requests. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect as my own. I follow all instructions carefully and can handle essential tasks such as administering oral medications, feeding, checking mail, and watering plants. You can count on me to be responsible, attentive, and dependable.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for six years, helping families with feeding, playtime, walks, and whatever their pets need. I truly enjoy caring for animals and spending time with both dogs and cats! I am currently working as an assistant teacher which means early mornings but I get off early in the afternoon so the rest of my day is dedicated to taking care and having fun with dogs and cats I usually lets pets roam around while I am gone then throughout the rest of the day we go to parks to run around and if crate time is needed I can do that as well
About: My typical day is structured, responsible, and balanced. I work full-time as a professional, so I value routines, organization, and being dependable. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, preparing healthy meals, reading, and creating a peaceful, comfortable environment. When I’m house sitting, I naturally incorporate caring for your home and pets into my routine. I’m able to provide consistent attention, follow established schedules, take walks, provide companionship, keep your home tidy, and share updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I enjoy quiet evenings, a calm home environment, and taking pride in caring for spaces as if they were my own. Weekend house sitting fits well with my schedule and allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to your home and pets. Your cat’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. I strive to maintain the familiar routine and calm environment they’re used to, helping minimize stress while you’re away. I’ll ensure your home remains secure, follow all care instructions carefully, keep fresh food and water available, maintain a clean litter box, and provide playtime, enrichment, or quiet companionship based on your cat’s personality. I treat every home with respect and every cat with patience, kindness, and genuine care. I’ll also monitor your cat for any changes in behavior or health, communicate regularly with updates, and make sure you can travel with confidence knowing your cat is in a safe, trustworthy, and caring environment.
“Angel was so sweet with my Bella! She took amazing care of her and sent me pictures of her while I was away. I had a great experience and would book with her again”
About: I’m new to Rover, but I have experience caring for dogs through family friends. I’ve done overnight care for two dogs for an entire week in their home and have recently been asked to care for them again. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals! I’ll treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own! As a current college student my schedule varies throughout the week, but I am generally available on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends. I’m also happy to provide dog walking or drop-in visits on other days when my class schedule allows! For daily walks or multiple visits per day, my availability will depend on the number of visits needed and the requested times. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pet’s routine to find a time that works best for everyone! Their pet’s safety and comfort are definitely my top priorities! I follow instructions very carefully as well as send updated pictures and messages so my clients have some peace of mind when they’re away!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Oakwood
We were super happy with Tidarat! This was our first time using her, but we plan on using her again in the future. She made us feel comfortable about using Rover.com. She sent a lot of pictures each day which helped us deal with being away from our fur babies. We found Tidarat to be trustworthy and that’s important to us.
Liberty took great care of our two cats! She sent very detailed updates each day and several pictures which we loved getting! Our cats warmed up to her quickly. She also left our place spotless. We had peace of mind while on our trip knowing our cats were in great hands!
Amber has done a great job with my pets including an elderly blind dog who need insulin and other medications and is finicky about eating sometimes. She took great care of my dog and cats and worked with me to solve a few issues that occurred while I was gone. I would highly recommend Amber! I could enjoy my time away from home knowing they were being loved on and having such great care.

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.
