“Tid was so nice and easy to work with! This was my first time booking with Rover and she made it so easy and made me feel comfortable leaving my kitties! I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: Hi I’m Liz and I absolutely love animals! When I was younger I was always wanting to help out any animal I could find. I grew up with cats and a dog but once I got married my husband was allergic to cats so I never got to own my own cat. But I foster dogs on the side! I don’t work with any agencies, I just help certain life or death situations or senior pups who were denied proper care. I currently own 7 dogs ranging from all ages puppy to senior. I also own what most people call “difficult” breeds Akitas, Shibas, huskies, German Shepherds, Pomeranians, and Samoyed! I have a few puppies in training at my house and would love to share my knowledge of dogs with others! If you have training questions I’d love to help you and get you on the right track! I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m currently working full time but I get off at 3-4pm each day and I am off Saturday and Sunday. I have a lot of wiggle room and would love to accommodate any way I can! I want to care for your pet in the same manner you do! I want your pet to feel like I am a second care human they are close and comfortable with. I will follow your instructions to a “T” so they aren’t left missing you too much! Right now I will only be offering your home for services but maybe some day mine as well :)
“Patricia was absolutely fantastic and took such great care of my cats while I was gone for a couple days. She sent daily updates and pictures, was super friendly and communicative, and ensured my cats were happy! I would highly recommend her services.”
About: I have over 15 years of animal care experience, I grew up with dogs and cats. But I also have experience with turtles, rabbits, and chickens. I worked at a zoo in college and love animals of all shapes and sizes, I’ll always do my best to care for your animals! I’m currently a stay at home dad working on my masters degree. My schedule is fairly flexible, just let me know how I can help! I currently own a leopard gecko and a dachshund, I’m comfortable with almost any task and will do my very best to care for any and all critters you might have!
About: Hi! I’m Britt 🐾 I’m an experienced pet caregiver and professional dog groomer who genuinely loves getting to know every animal’s personality. Whether your pup is energetic and adventurous, a little shy, elderly and needing extra patience, or just wants to spend the day getting spoiled, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I have hands-on experience with dog grooming, bathing, kennel care, pet sitting, and caring for animals of all ages and personalities. I’ve also cared for cats and a variety of other animals, including reptiles, ferrets, birds, ducks, and chickens! Because of my grooming background, I’m comfortable with pets who need a little extra handling, patience, hygiene care, or routine maintenance. I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, boundaries, and comfort level—and I’ll do my best to keep their normal routine while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priorities. I’m big on communication and love sending updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing. 🥰 My goal is simple: when you’re away, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and completely spoiled. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! 🐾💕 I currently work Monday–Friday, but most days I’m home by around 2–3 PM. I’m available for morning and evening check-ins, walks, drop-ins, and overnight care, and I’m happy to discuss what works best for your pet’s routine. For in-home boarding, I have a dedicated, comfortable space available for visiting pets where they can relax and have their own quiet area when they need downtime. I also have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and exercise. I have reliable transportation and can also provide overnight house sitting in your home when your pet is more comfortable in their own environment. I’m big on communication and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. 🐶📸 I provide a clean, calm, and supervised environment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and at home. With professional experience in dog grooming, bathing, kennel care, and pet sitting, I’m experienced in safe animal handling, sanitation, recognizing body language, and caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and downtime. I also believe enrichment and one-on-one attention are just as important as basic care. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable and loved while their family is away.
About: I'm the type of person who spends all my time hanging out with animals at any function. I have lots of experience with aggressive, shy, senior, independent, clingy, and playful pets, and I pay close attention to your pet's personality so I can meet each pet's needs. I love to stay active but am also a homebody and could spend all day giving your pet the attention they deserve. I've had a dog since I was 10, and I know how much photos of your pet can brighten your day, so I will be sure to keep you updated! I work remotely, so I have flexible hours and plenty of time to play and take care of your pet. I travel often, but I update my availability weeks in advance. Please note: I am unavailable for Sunday bookings between 9 am and 3 pm. I am unable to care for pets at my own place, but I am more than willing to make the trip to stay at your home or drop in to feed/walk/play according to your needs. My dog is a very picky eater, so I understand that each pet's feeding routine is different, and I will always accommodate what your pet is used to.
“Sahara was literally an angel who stepped in when a previously hired sitter no showed after I had already left town. She has been patient with my very shy and skittish senior cat who is now enjoying being petted by Sahara. I highly recommend her.”
“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 have been taking care of dogs since I was 8. I grew up and became a Military Working Dog Handler and Kennel Master serving at the absolute highest levels.

“Jordan was fabulous! She was able to administer oral calming medication to our cat during our absence which we have not been able to do and she sent great reports and pictures. She did everything we asked her to do. We plan to use her again if we need a pet sitter.”

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.

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.

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.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
