“Hayley took excellent care of our cat Lily! She is an excellent communicator and helped us to have a worry-free vacation. She is kind and caring and sent lots of great pictures! We highly recommend Hayley!”
“This was our first time using Nissa to take care of our two cats while going on vacation and it certainly will not be the last time. Nissa showed up on time each day and gave detailed reports of how the cats were doing each day. Nissa was very responsive and went above and beyond when checking in on the cats each day.”
“Sara B. Is the best! I always feel confident that our cat is well cared for. She keeps us informed and the photos show that she is scratching the cat just how she likes!”
“Margaret & Dawson were great and took care of our pets like they were their own. Very trustworthy, dependable and communicative. They sent us pictures and videos of the pets with each visit. We recommend booking with them and we will book with them again in the future!”
“Jordan has ALWAYS been so good with my girls. I love having her watch over my girls and as long as she is able she’ll always be my first choice to care for my girls. She sends updates, and is so communicative and caring for them. Cannot stress how much your kiddos will be loved when she is watching them.”
About: Hello! My name is Nikki and I'm a dedicated stay-at-home mom to my wonderful 8-month-old son. I have a deep passion for ensuring that animals live their best lives possible. I offer dog walking services tailored to your pet's needs, whether it's a leisurely stroll through your neighborhood or an adventure on one of our local trails. I believe in the importance of exercise and exploration for dogs to stay happy and healthy. In addition to dogs, I adore cats and am more than happy to care for them while you're away. Whether it's feeding, cuddling, or simply spending time with your feline friends, rest assured they'll receive all the attention and affection they need. What sets me apart is my reliability and dedication. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I go above and beyond to ensure they feel loved and well-cared for in your absence. Your pets' happiness and well-being are my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets soon! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom to an 8 month old. This gives me flexibility to take care of your pets anytime! I can visit your pet for any length of time. When you entrust your furry family member to me, I'll take the time to ask detailed questions about their routine, diet, exercise needs, and any special instructions you have. Your peace of mind is important to me, so I ensure that everything is done exactly as you want. Additionally, accidents happen, and I'm prepared to handle unexpected messes, ensuring a clean and comfortable environment for your pet at all times!
“Emily is extremely friendly and warm. . She has a real passion for animals and a lot of experience. She is easy to work with and excellent at giving updates about caring for your animal(s). We had a great experience in her checking on our beloved cat, Butterscotch!”
“Callie did an amazing job with her daily check-ins of my two kittens! Callie’s communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Callie did everything well, but most notably she was able to quickly adapt and think on her feet when some quirky things happened with my door locks, which was absolutely no fault of her own. She handled that situation expertly and I felt very safe knowing she had everything under control! Anyone should feel very comfortable leaving their pets and/or home under Callie’s care!”
“Kali was great! My husband and I left our cat for the first time and were really nervous but her communication while we were away helped ease our anxieties. She even made sure to turn on the A/C during a couple really hot days. Our cat isn’t the easiest cat to get along with but she always tried to take the time to play even when he wasn’t being nice with his claws. I would definitely use Kali again!”
“Nadine did an amazing job with our cat. Lots of playtime and pets when she stopped by for an evening drop-in. She kindly sent videos and pictures too! We hope to use Nadine again in the future!”
“Emily is great with my cat ! I was out of town for a few days and Emily checked in and set up the food and water while I was away. The pictures Emily sent were awesome to have a visual update of whet my cat was doing.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, starting my pet care career in high school at a doggie daycare, and ending up here, with 6 years of professional experience and the same love of animals I’ve had since the beginning. I do have a full time job that prevents me from doing any jobs between the hours of 7am-4pm Tuesday-Thursday. Friday/Saturday I am available beginning at 2pm, and Sunday/Monday I have open availability. I treat all animals the way I would hope someone would take care of my girls when I go on vacation. There’s nothing more important to me than knowing they’re in good hands with someone who will not only stop by and feed them, but spend time with them, maybe cuddle on the couch or just keep them company. I understand that your pets are family, and I will always treat them as such.
About: Owned and taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. Can’t remember a time without having pets! Currently own two crazy pups and two pretty kitties, and can’t wait to meet yours. Have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and everything in between. I am a full time firefighter/EMT, so I only work two 24hr shifts a week, and the rest of the time I get to play with yours, and my own animals! Love to hike or be outdoors with as many pets as possible! If they’re happy, I’m happy! I will follow all rules set for your pet, and be sure to keep their safety at the top of the list! As a pet owner, I can’t imagine something happening to my own animals, and I would never want to let anything happen to yours!
About: I have owned a Labrador Retriever, Jack Russell and two German Shepherds and have dog sat many others. I have had twelve years of experience with dog sitting. I will treat your dog like family with lots of love, spending time with them and many walks and adventures to dog parks around the area. I will give them lots of treats. While spending time at your home will treat it as my home with keeping it clean and able to do little stuff around the house such as watering the plants and picking up the mail with no extra cost. I have a flexible schedule, which I am able to pet sit at last notice. I have a dog name Juno who is a six year old Labrador who is friendly and gets along with all dogs. I would like meet and greets just to know the dog before hand and the dog knows me and Juno before we welcome them into our home! We want to create a welcoming home to your dog by not being a total stranger watching them, helping your dog with adjusting as their family is away. I currently work as a nurse so on my days off I am usually at home hanging with Juno and going on walks or playing in the uard I have yard with a river in the back. My dog usually off leash but because of the no fence will keep your dog on leash for safety and lots of walks throughout the day!

Hayley is a great pet sitter! She’s professional, on time, and most importantly, she loves her animals. Each day I was left with a rundown of what she did and lots of pictures to show my kitties were happy and taken care of. I could set my watch by the information I’d receive each day and she went above and beyond staying longer than scheduled some days. I am so glad I found her!

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.

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 .
