“Kendall was so great with my fur babies! During our meet and greet, I immediately knew she was a good fit because my typically grumpy Lola immediately warmed up to her. I’m convinced all three of my babies were disappointed when I came home because they were hoping it was Kendall.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs. I’ve raised and trained two medium-to-large dogs with very different temperaments—one with fear-based aggression and the other a confident, strong-willed Husky. Through those experiences, I learned the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and understanding canine body language to help dogs feel safe and confident. Outside of pet care, I’m a full-time elementary school teacher. My career has strengthened my ability to provide calm, reliable care while maintaining clear, consistent boundaries with kindness and compassion. I believe those same qualities help pets feel secure and build trust quickly. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion while you’re away, I’m happy to tailor my care to their routine and personality. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and attentive care. As a teacher, my availability is greatest during evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks, and I always strive to provide dependable communication and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have flexibility during breaks from school, and weekends are also flexible for me morning, afternoon, evenings. I am occasionally available weeknights during the school year. I have a fenced in yard with space to run and I have a dog that is very social. My dog is not crated, yours can be if you prefer (please provide crate if needed).
“Dana is a gem! She took incredible care of my cats and made my place look better than when she showed up! She thoroughly cleaned all the litter and made friends with my cat and always got freshwater as well… Like clockwork every morning and evening… 10 stars as far as I’m concerned! Thank you so much, Dana… Highly highly recommend her!”
“Claire is wonderful- was a life saver for Beatrice! Had a walker suddenly quit on me short notice - sent Claire a request on a Sunday and she was at my house for meet and greet the same day. I work so much and it is a relief that my Beatrice is cared for and it is truly sincere as she is a fur mom too!”
About: I treat every dog like family, giving them lots of love, patience, playtime, and cuddles. Comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets needing extra attention. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work remotely while job searching, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, attention, and companionship. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine, giving love, walks, and attention. I also have a gentle senior dog and fenced yard for safe socializing.
“Sarah has been an incredible carer for our two cats. She spends quality time with my aging darling cat, Sophie, and meets our sometimes hiding, sometimes curious, sometimes frisky cat, George, wherever he is that day. She has great communication. We trust that our animals are in great hands when we’re away.”
“Cassandra is amazing. She is reliable and on time to walk my doggies while I'm at work. They adore her. She's always keeps in touch with me and lets me know how their walks went. I highly recommend Cassandra and I don't take that recommendation lightly.”
“Sarah is excellent! She’s a very responsive and took great care of my cats while I was away on holidays. Would definitely recommend her as a responsible and friendly sitter.”
“Laura and her daughter did a great job caring for my fussy cat while I was away. She gave him plenty of attention and care, sent updates and photos, and helped me feel at ease knowing he was being looked after. I would be happy to book with her again. Thanks again, Laura!”
“She did a fantastic job with my three cats! She was very helpful and made sure I didn’t worry about them while I was on vacation. I would recommend her for anyone who is looking to take care of their animals!”
“Morgan was literally the best. One of our cats was diagnosed with diabetes just a couple weeks before we went out of town and Morgan was quick to learn how to give him his insulin and make sure both of our cats were alive and well taken care of the whole time we were gone!! We've never had to hire a cat sitter before so this was an incredible first experience. We're so thankful for her & can't wait to have her back!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Old Hickory
Jennifer is amazing!! Really goes above and beyond. My cats loved her so much that they didn’t really care when I came back from my trip lol. She even took the trash out for me which was so nice. She is very thoughtful and sent me pictures of the cats as well.
Brian was amazing! He gave our old Bulldog and our old cat lots of love and attention during his visits. He sent us photos every day showing how well our pets were taken care of. Every detail of care was taken care of; he treated our pets like they were his own.

I don't want to leave a review because I don't want to share this absolute gem of a human with anyone else! (Just kidding, give her all of your business)! Tracy has watched our crew (1 old dog, 2 old cats, and four kittens) several times and every time has been a pet owners dream. She's worked with our schedule and offered creative solutions for times where our calendars didn't quite line up as needed. I can tell she gets to know our pets by the detailed summaries/report cards she leaves (often with funny stories and sometimes gently letting me know of bad behaviors). She's an amazing photographer and I'm often flipping through the photos she sends to show business associates, friends, and family when I'm away from our fur babies). She goes above and beyond. We always come home to a clean house and happy, well cared for pets. Our pets love her, and I can't really give a better review. 🐾

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.
