“Ashley is great! She took such good care of my cats and fish. I have two older cats that both needed medication. Elvis needed liquid medication orally twice a day after a long illness. Otis needed powder medication added to his food a few times during the visit, and he gets scared and hides from new people. It takes him a while to trust anyone (if ever). Ashley worked with him, quickly gained his trust and was petting him within days (very good for Otis). During our introduction visit, Ashley was thorough in making sure she had all of the information. She is dependable and punctual, always arriving during the times requested. I received pictures and a detailed summary after every visit. It was so nice not worrying while we were away. We'll definitely be requesting Ashley for our net trip!”
“Megan was amazing! She sent plenty of updates, cleaned up any messes my puppy made, and took her on plenty of walks. She even taught my puppy to lay down! She will take great care of your pups/cats. Thank you Megan! ❤️”
About: I have adopted all my animals. I trained my dog very quickly to be potty, trained, and sit and learn new tricks. I am very lovable and I can’t get enough of animals. They are my happy place. I work part time only 4 hours (plus a short commute), so I have plenty of time during the day. I have plenty of time for physical play training, dog walks naps etc I take my dog on walks twice a day. I take her to the doggie park. She gets lots of exercise. I have a big house a yard and love playing with my animals.
About: I have been around animals my entire life. Taking care of dogs brings so much joy to my day and would love to take care of yours! I currently work full time but am available Wednesday afternoons and Thursday nights through Sundays. I am new to the area and looking for an enjoyable new hobby. Making sure your pet is comfortable and nurtured is my top priority when pet sitting. Make sure they are occupied and stick to the schedule if needed.
“Good as always, and the cats like him. Went above and beyond this time by taking care of some helpful things that I did not request. I would still fully recommend to anyone who asks.”
About: I have a corgi/golden retriever. Kashi loves other dogs and playing outside. I have had Kashi since he was a puppy. We would go on walks together and have playtime. Love lounging around as well. I am a stay at home mom so I will have plenty of time to play/pay attention to you’re animal, they won’t be alone. We have a backyard where I take my dog outside on the leash. My cat also goes on a leash outside. We have play time and also have a splash pad/hose for the pup!
About: Hello! My name is Tia, I am a huge animal lover and figured I might as well try to make money doing something I love, being with animals of course! I am a stay at home mother of two elementary aged boys. Your furry family member will be treated as an equal and will receive unconditional love here. Sadly, we are not financially ready to add a furry member into our pack, so welcoming your little friend into our lives would be an excitingly, wonderful time for us! I also do bathing, nail clipping/filing, teeth brushing and ear cleaning if you are in need of that extra service. I started using Rover in 2015 and was active on here through 2019. I took a break from the app due to no animals allowed where I was living. Although, I continued working as a dog bather through the years. My photos on here are older, but I will be updating with more recent photos soon, As I have plenty I can post. At the moment, I am now living in well kept and spacious camper within a beautiful and quiet camping resort and am excited to have the opportunity to be back to working with Rover and watching over your furry babies. I hope to hear from you soon! Message me with any questions and please don't hesitate! I have all the love in the world to give! (: I stay at home right now, so your pup/ kitty will have my undivided attention and all the love they need to feel comfortable while they are away from you. I have plenty of space for them to relax comfortably, and I have no problem allowing animals on the furniture and bed. There is also lots of land for them to explore. I do not have a fenced area, but am more than happy to take your pup for a walk for a long as they need.
“It was great to get pictures and an update after each visit. When I got home the litter boxes were both clean and the food and water dishes were both clean and filled. Will definitely use the service and Destiny again.”
“Julia is fantastic! Julia cared for my 2 cats while I was out of town for the holidays, and she was so patient, prompt, and responsive. Julia followed all of my care instructions and sent plenty of pictures to keep me updated. I will definitely use Julia again!”

Ashley is absolutely wonderful!! She did such a great job of taking care of my kitties. She made sure they were well fed and had plenty of water. She sent pictures every day, and she’s just a very lovely person. You can’t go wrong with hiring her. She will take such good care of your little fur babies.

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.

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 Meet & Greet .

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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.
