About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs and cats. My current crew includes Groot, my American Bully mix, Ralphie, my three-legged Pit Bull mix, and my two cats, Alleria and Vesemir. My career in special education has also shaped how I approach animal care. Understanding behavior, building trust, and finding what works for each individual are all part of my everyday life. Every pet has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to learn their routines, respect their boundaries, and make sure they're comfortable. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, or needs a little extra patience, I'll care for them with the same love and attention I give my own! I work full time during the week, so I'm available for evening visits and walks, as well as weekends! I have more flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays and am happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's routine. I do my best to keep my availability up to date and communicate clearly about scheduling. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities! When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to follow their usual routines, respect their boundaries, and keep their environment as familiar and stress free as possible. I take the time to learn about each pet's personality, behavior, and any special needs or concerns before our first visit. I'm mindful of body language and believe in building trust through patience and positive reinforcement rather than forcing interactions. I'll always follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and household safety, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing. I want you to feel just as comfortable leaving your pets in my care as they feel spending time with me!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m a cat owner myself and have two wonderful female cats. I’m passionate about providing care. I volunteer at the SPCA and received training in both feline and canine behavior and handling. I regularly attend cat adoption events to help cats find loving homes. A few years ago, my family drove hours to adopt my now 4 year old cat, Francis, after finding her through a Craigslist listing. I’ve also sat pets for family and friends, cats and dogs. I have experience caring for small animals such as hamsters, gerbils, and mice. I use SEPTA and Lyft for transportation, for that reason, I prefer bookings within Philly. My services are available to you and your pet 24/7. My personal routine is very flexible! Your pet comes first and will always be under my supervision during the stay. I am Fear Free® certified and aim for every pet to feel safe and comfortable in my care. I follow any given instructions and keep you updated during the stay with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Emily fed and cared for our cat for 7 days straight while we were away. She was very good with communicating and following up. I got a couple pics every visit. She even brought in my mail. She met my cat before our visit and you can tell She is very good with animals. He was immediately purring and loving her. We were very calm and relaxed because we knew our boy was in good hands. We'd 100% have emily watch our cat again.
Deresha is great! Feel like I got lucky with her being available. She knows her way around dogs of all breeds and can handle any type trouble your dog may give some one. Trusted her more and more as time went on. You won’t regret hiring Deresha to take care of your little ones, she’s great and is even willing to meet you before you need services to make sure she’s a good fit for your mascots. Deresha is the best!

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.

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 .
