“Michelle is so sweet and perfect for our cats. She sent pictures and let us know how they were doing. We came home to a clean house and clean litter boxes. We highly recommended her. She is trustworthy.”
About: With 20 years of experience, I’ve cared for animals my whole life. I love exploring the outdoors and staying active with pets, but I’m also a comforting presence for those who prefer cozy companionship at home. From playful puppies to senior cats needing extra TLC, I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs—just like I do for my own. As a teacher, my schedule is structured, allowing me time in the mornings and evenings to provide attentive care for pets. On weekends, I enjoy spending extra time outdoors, taking pets for walks, and giving them the exercise and attention they need. I balance my responsibilities by ensuring pets get plenty of playtime, love, and care, whether it’s during breaks or after school hours. In addition, from June to September, I am on summer break and have the utmost flexibility! In my home, pets are treated like family. With a securely fenced yard, they can play and exercise safely outdoors. I ensure they get daily walks, scheduled meals, and plenty of cuddle time indoors. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain their routines, provide stimulating play, and keep their space clean and comfortable—making sure your pet feels safe and loved whether in a familiar environment or my secure, pet-friendly home.
About: I am an avid hiker, biker, jogger and dog park enthusiast. I'm always looking for new hikes, trails and dog park adventures for me and my 2 Dogs. I have a 12 yr old lady dog whom I take on her own special shorty turtle pace hike and I have a 3 yr old extremely well-trained dog that is amazing with all other dogs and animals and he joins me on all other adventures. I am looking to help others get their loved pups out and about and have some doggy time. I know the importance of exercise and socialization for our pups and sometimes life gets hectic. A tired doggy is a good doggy. Your pup will get socialization, exercise, training and love. I have a flexible schedule, so I am able to personalize pet/house/property sit with your schedule. My goal is to provide mindful, personalized care that keeps pets happy, active and comfortable so you can enjoy your day/travels with peace of mind. I provide in-home pet sitting and drop-in visits. This can include feeding, playtime, exercise, companionship. I'm dependable, attentive and respectful of both your pets and home.
“Morgan & Tyler R gave excellent care to cat when I needed to leave for a few days. She was safe, fed, and well cared for. They sent me pictures and feedback of my kitty to know she was doing well. I appreciate the care they gave her.”
“Stephanie is great with communication about our cats. Both our cats immediately went to her at greeting. We will have Stephanie watch our four-legged family again! She is genuine, honest and trustworthy.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ponderay
Brazee was great with our Maine Coon. She spent time playing with him and letting him hang out on her lap—sharing pics of these activities with us. She came over for a meet and greet before we left. Very friendly. We are happy to have met her and we are thankful for her care of our cat.
We’ve used Breana several times for our kitty and fish and she does an amazing job! We love the photos and know our kitty gets lots of love while we’re gone. She went above and beyond beyond on our last service when our fish tank starting pumping water into the floor - yikes! She reached out right when she saw the water on the floor and then took care of the immediate need when she couldn’t reach us. Excellent service!!

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. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
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 .

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.
