About: I’m a retired professional who has cared for both dogs and cats when my kids were away at college. This included feeding, playing, and keeping up with training. Although I am new to professional pet-sitting, I’m reliable and committed to the happiness and wellbeing of your beloved pets. I am retired, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available any day of the week, 8am to 6pm. I am familiar with caring for both dogs and cats. My previous experience includes feeding, playing, walking, and training regimes like crate training and potty training.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been around both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply having someone keep them company, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of affection, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members and provide them with the loving care they deserve! I am currently a stay at home (soon to be) mom so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for drop in visits 3 times a day. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them happy, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routine. During each drop-in visit, I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, playtime, and lots of affection. I’m happy to take them on walks to help them get the exercise and enrichment they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will provide updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away.
“Crystal was extremely kind and communicative with us throughout the week we were gone. It was so nice having someone who could take care of our Luci while we were gone and know she was getting the love she needed.”
“Carly and Kendric were wonderful! They were able to take our request pretty last minute which was nice. They were also super thorough, shared plenty of pictures, and kept us updated. Our cats can be kind of skiddish around new people but it seems like they did great with Carly and Kendric. It was an overall excellent experience!”
“Savanna did a great job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation with my family. She fed and pampered Sasha and sent me updates and pictures everyday. I highly recommend Savanna!”
“Allyson was an absolute lifesaver! When my regular sitter was on vacation, she stepped in and took amazing care of my YorkiePoo for 6 days. She came twice daily to walk and play with him, which was such a relief while I was working remotely. From the very first Meet & Greet, my pup was smitten—tail wagging nonstop and showering her with kisses! It’s clear she has a wonderful way with dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better backup sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I've taken care of cats/dogs/guinea pigs of my own over the years since I was young. Friends trust me to watch their fur babies. I'm currently available anytime to care for your fur babies. I've been an Executive for 21 years with an advanced degree and am taking a break from the workforce to reset, raise my daughter, and breathe. I will happily take care of your fur babies in their domain that they know. I will also offer cleaning, laundry, dish washing services or organization services if desired. I will keep your home tidy.
“Having Jennifer drop by to check in on our boys has been a huge relief during our travel! We appreciated the messages about the visits and they looked really happy and comfortable in the photos shared. It was nice to see our cats happy while away. Thanks again Jennifer!!”
“Ben was fantastic! My cats started off the trip initially being nervous about me being gone, and progressively got better under Ben’s care. He was great with keeping me updated throughout the time of my trip!”

Crystal replied to a very short notice request as a result of a bailout from a neighbor who had said they would be my evening cat caregiver. She has impressed me with her willingness to spend time with my two very different cats and tend to their personalities and particular needs. She came every evening for six days and spent quality time with them. I highly recommended her and hope she will be available to us again in the near future.
Lindsay is fantastic! We have used her twice now to check on our kitties. She is dependable and spends the full time with our pets, sending us photos and providing an update on them. She was very mindful of our home and brought in our mail for us also. Would definitely recommend! Great communication also.

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.

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 .

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.
