About: Hi! I’m a veterinary technician with over two years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. Caring for animals isn’t just my job—it’s my passion. As a pet owner to three dogs and two cats, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your furry family members with someone else. That’s why I strive to provide the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own pets. My veterinary background allows me to confidently recognize signs of illness, administer medications when needed, and provide attentive care for pets with special needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is in experienced, caring hands. My schedule allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I’m available Monday through Friday before 8:00 AM and after 5:00 PM, making me a great option for early morning visits, evening walks, or overnight care. On weekends, I have open availability and can accommodate a variety of scheduling needs, whether it’s drop-in visits, dog walking, house sitting, or extended care. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible to ensure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. My pets are a huge part of my family, and I care for them with plenty of love, attention, and enrichment every day. Whether we’re playing, going for hikes, swimming, exploring new places, or spending time socializing, I make sure they stay happy, healthy, and fulfilled. I believe every pet is unique, and I will provide the same level of care and affection to your furry family member. Whether your pet enjoys curling up for cuddles on the couch or prefers long walks, playtime, and other high-energy activities, I’ll tailor their care to their individual personality and needs. Most importantly, I will always respect your wishes, your pet’s routine, and your home, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
About: I'm a professional and responsible caretaker of 25 years now, of dogs, cats, children, the elderly and residential family homes as well as commercial properties, and I love it more with each passing year! I am a personable and energetic companion, with an infinite amount of love for all animals. There's nothing that I'm unable to do and no job too big or too small. I value this opportunity to be your best friend's home away from home and give them all of the love that you would give to them, because they deserve it and so do you! It such a rewarding and touching experience to enjoy the same animals loving me more and more over time, and eventually just being affectionate as can be! I love knowing that I can send you pictures(as often as you'd like) of your fur baby, giving you relief and knowing that not only is your dog safe and nurtured, but happy and loved! I've always said that I just want to cuddle with dogs all day and still pay my bills haha. Although I was mostly joking, how amazing is it that I can actually make that dream a reality!!😻 Maybe mans' best friend but your dog is also my best friend too...if you could please just help to introduce us to each other. Thank you for your consideration Best Kelly I am fully open and available for any booking, for any period of time, for any amount of pets! The more animals I get to see in a day, the better! I treat every animal as if they were my own child! It's hard enough to be away from their parents at all, so I am just as positive, affectionate, loving and comforting as I can possibly be, so your pets feel comfortable and at peace. I communicate with the pet and/ or homeowner to find out exactly what they expect from me, and always write down all of the specifics of animal care(food & water and frequency, medicines, restrictions, if they go outside or stay inside, things they like or find comfort in like their favorite toy or treat to ensure that feel as much at home as I can make them feel) so I don't forget anything important! I usually reread the list everyday that I'm there, just to be sure not to miss anything. Lastly I always spend the last hour or day cleaning up after myself & the pet, to leave things nicer than I found them. Whether it's taking their trashcan to the road and gathering their mail, along with washing their dishes and making sure the bathroom and kitchen are nice & clean for them to come home to. Or it could be giving the dog a bath if I'm not house sitting as well. Basically if you're going to pay me to do something, I'm going to make it worth your while and be as helpful, clean and efficient as possible! Just a basic rundown in addition to feeding and walking and picking up after said animal, I like to go above and beyond what is expected of me. I reach for the best customer service I can possibly provide, to hopefully create a very happy dog and parents, as well as a repeat customer! If you hire me, you will not regret it! Thank you for your consideration -Kelly
About: I've cared for animals my entire life and truly love them like family. Growing up, I helped my neighbor with Operation Catnip, where we trapped, rescued, and rehabilitated feral cats and dogs. I assisted with feeding, bathing, walking, giving medication, changing litter—whatever the animals needed. Over time, I started my own small pet care business for friends and family, and I also volunteered at my hometown's local animal shelter. I've fostered animals over the years as well, so I'm experienced with pets that need extra patience and care. Whether you're looking for someone to care for a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior pet who needs gentleness and routine—I treat every animal like they're my own. If you want someone who genuinely loves animals and has hands-on experience, I’m the sitter for you! Pet care is a big part of my everyday life, and I have a very flexible schedule to support it! I'm available on weekends, holidays, and evenings, which makes it easy to accommodate your pet’s routine—whether it's a late-night potty break, an early morning walk, or holiday coverage when you're out of town. I’m committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for no matter the time of day. You can count on me for dependable and attentive care whenever you need it! When I care for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your pet’s regular routine—feeding schedules, walk times, play, medication, and any special instructions. I'm experienced with administering medications, managing crate time, and keeping things clean and organized. For dogs, I offer safe, enjoyable walks based on their energy and comfort level. I’m also experienced with crate-trained dogs, senior pets who need a slower pace, and anxious pups who need extra patience and calm. For cats, I provide gentle, attentive care—cleaning litter, keeping feeding areas tidy, and respecting their space or snuggle needs depending on their personality. I'm also comfortable caring for multiple pets and making sure each one gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s a quick walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, your pets will be loved, safe, and treated like family every time.

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 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.
