“Isabelle did a great job with my two senior kitties. She paid special attention to the health of one of them who I’m worried about. Made sure they were both eating and getting some extra protein and played with them. She was reliable and very timely, kept to her schedule as discussed and took care of the little pans. Will hire her again!”
“After I met Catherine I was completely comfortable having her take care of Winnie while we were away. He even came out from his hiding place to see her. I loved the notes she sent after each visit with Winnie. We think Catherine did a great job.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog at home knowing Diane would be taking care of her. Diane came to my house 3 times a day and always sent a notification. I would definitely use Diane again to look after my pet.”
“Alyssa did an amazing job with Lola. This was our first time using Rover so I was nervous but Alyssa gave me reassurance and helped me feel comfortable. Lola enjoyed her time with her and will definitely be booking with Alyssa again!”
About: I grew up working alongside my grandparents who were very big into rescuing and fostering animals in need. I have plenty of experience in medicating animals (even the feisty ones) and am always up for a little challenge. I currently have open availability throughout the week and can do overnights! I’d be more than happy to come to you, or your fur baby is more than welcome to stay here, whatever makes you most comfortable! My soul focus would be to make sure that your pet felt loved and safe while you’re away. There are currently no pets in my home so your baby would get my full attention and there’s a lovely park just behind my neighborhood with plenty of space to run, walk and play
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have helped care for them for most of my life. I currently have two dogs of my own, including both a small and large dog, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, giving medications, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and love. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I’ll always treat them with the same care and patience I give my own. I currently work full-time during the week, so weekends are the perfect time for me to provide pet care. I’m available throughout Saturdays and Sundays for drop-in visits and walks, and I’m happy to spend that time giving your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and walks as needed. I’ll also respect your home and keep you updated on how your pet is doing during each visit.
“Jenna did a great job with my two cats. They are quite shy and go into hiding when anyone comes to the house. It took some time but by the end Ricky was greeting Jenna and getting some pets. Can't give a better endorsement than that! I had an accident while on vacation and needed help for about 5 weeks longer than planned which Jenna was able to do. That was extremely helpful. I would definitely use Jenna again an highly recommend her.”

Pat provided excellent care for my two cats while I was away for the week. I have two senior cats, one with health conditions, and Pat picked up their routines easily and handled health-related litter box mishaps with patience and understanding. She also accommodated unexpected changes in my travel schedule and was great with communication throughout my trip. If you’re in need of dependable and thorough care for your cats, Pat is a great choice!
Isabella took wonderful care of our Lab and Pomeranian. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated while we were away. She was also able to help us on short notice, which we were incredibly grateful for. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We would definitely book with her again! 🐾

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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 .
