“Shelby is one of the most kindest caregivers I have ever met. She is super communicative and always eases my mind when I worry. I will most definitely book with her again if I ever need. She is compassionate and kind for all furry friends. Shelby will always be my first pick!! She should be yours too. Thank you from the dearest of my heart for taking such sweet care of my minmin.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for many years and currently care for my own dogs, bird, and aquariums every day. Friends and family have trusted me to help care for their pets while they’re away. My background in healthcare has taught me to be dependable, detail-oriented, and calm in unexpected situations. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I give my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and will keep my Rover calendar updated so it always reflects my availability. I make pet care a priority and enjoy spending quality time with animals through walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will follow your instructions and routines to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I know every pet is different because I’ve experienced that with my own dogs. One of my dogs has epilepsy and takes medication on a strict schedule, so I understand how important routines, careful observation, and clear communication are. I have a fenced backyard and will follow your pet’s feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions exactly as you ask. Whether your pet is young, senior, or has special needs, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own pets. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.
“Stephanie did an excellent job of taking care of my cat while I went on vacation. She sent updates and pictures to me while I was gone. She completely won over my cat. I highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely book her again for my next trip.”
“Michelle was amazing with our 3 cats! She was kind, communicative, and so attentive to our babies. You can absolutely tell how much she cares when she sends her check in summaries, and she got some great pics + videos. Even though there was a crazy storm while we were away, we never had to worry about anything since Michelle was proactive and kept us in the loop. She’s truly a gem!”
“Justin was great. Between the cats and the dogs and all the nuances of each pet, Justin managed it like a champ. Our cats were not very cooperative, you know, like cats can be. Justin provided us daily updates and pics. He was also super responsive to the many texts I kept sending. He was also kind enough to grab out mail/packages, too. I would definitely recommend Justin if you’re looking for someone to care for your pets.”
About: I understand that your pets are family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, waste cleanup, playtime, companionship, medication administration (if needed), and lots of love and attention tailored to your pet’s routine. Whether you have energetic dogs, independent cats, or multiple pets, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and treat every home with the same respect I would my own. I believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. Because I am a full-time online student, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to make pet sitting my top priority. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5 job where I would be away from the house all day, my school structure allows me to work entirely from home on my own terms. This means I have ample open blocks of time throughout the day dedicated solely to pet care. I can easily accommodate structured feeding times, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions without interruption. Your pets will receive consistent companionship, and because I'm studying from my laptop, I am available to provide the constant supervision, love, and attention they deserve." When caring for pets in your home, my primary goal is to maintain their regular routine so they feel safe and secure while you are away. Seamless Routine Adherence: I strictly follow your established feeding schedules, medication timelines, and specific instructions to keep their environment predictable and stress-free. Meticulous Cat Care: As a multi-cat owner myself, I know the importance of a clean environment. I scoop litter boxes thoroughly during every visit and sweep up any tracked litter. Quality Companionship: Because my full-time student schedule is so flexible, I don't just rush in and out. I dedicate genuine time to interactive playtime with their favorite toys, gentle grooming, or just quiet companionship on the couch while I study. Home Respect & Communication: I respect your space, leave it exactly as I found it, and provide you with detailed daily updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how they are doing.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Paola
Alyssa was very responsive and took great care of our elderly pet mini lop rabbit that is mostly blind. It was her first experience with pet rabbits but she had great instincts, reads body language well and knew when he was unsure about her initially and when he wanted to interact as he got more comfortable.

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.
