“Brazee is excellent! She got along great with our cat and was reliable and trustworthy. Loved the photos with her visit updates. Recommend her for your cat sitting needs!”

“Michelle was available on short notice, provided a pic of my dogs upon check up and followed instructions as directed. Pleased with her service. My dogs seemed to have really liked her :) Thanks Michelle!”

“Janae was outstanding! She was super responsive, provided regular updates with photos, and stayed on top of everything. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup — highly recommend!”

“Leaving your buddy behind when you travel is always stressful, and it was such a relief to find Kathryn and know that she was taking care of my cat so considerately. Kathryn was thoughtful, attentive, and communicative. She truly went above and beyond to help care for my cat. My tortie can be a bit slow to warm up, and she took the time to get to know her and her needs, coax her into playing, and spend extra care and attention on her. She kept me informed about my cat's eating habits and well-being and did a great job both caring for her and assuaging my worry while traveling. I found her to be kind and responsible, and I'm looking forward to booking her again when I take my next trip!”

About: I've grown up caring for animals and couldn't imagine my life without them. I worked as a kennel attendant at an animal shelter for almost two years. This multifaceted job included caring for animals' basic needs, maintaining sanitary kennels and play yards, administering vaccines, dewormer and medication, as well as exercising the animals and providing enrichment in their daily routine. With my previous experience in the shelter environment and growing up with animals, I am accustomed to handling various breeds, different age groups and temperaments. I'm most experienced caring for dogs and cats but I've also cared for chickens, cows, goats, rabbits and horses. I hope to meet you and your pets soon! -Mickaelin I'm not currently working so I have plenty of time to care for your furry family members! When housesitting, I will be with your pets a majority of the time. *I'm also flexible with pricing!* Your pet's safety is my #1 priority! Before providing any services, I will meet with you and your pet(s) beforehand to address your needs. It is important for me to know if your pet has any behavioral problems (resource guarding, aggression towards other dogs, separation anxiety, etc.) I will also ask for an emergency contact and your pet's vet information.

“Abby was an excellent cat sitter for Lulu! Usually, Lulu is nervous around strangers, but Abby was the cat whisperer. She spent time loving on Lulu as well as taking care of her needs. Abby sent pictures and videos along with her updates.”

About: During Covid, I was laid off and it turned into a wonderful experience of being able to dog sit. I was watching 5 dogs on a regular basis, feeding, playing, napping, and loving on each and every one of them. I absolutely love dogs, I have taken care of small to big dogs and they are all my favorite!! I worked at an animal shelter and gained a lot of animal knowledge and experience from there I am currently working a full time job Monday through Friday until 3PM, with occasional weekend shifts. I am able to do drop in, house sitting, and walkings in the afternoons. I can provide lots of love, attention, and stimulation to your pets. I am very active but also love to relax and provide cuddles if your pet is more on the mellow side of activity. I am happy to clean up any messes, and follow any particular instructions of care you may have for your pet.
About: I have experience with larger breeds all the way to chihuahuas. I enjoy long walks, playing and training. Experience with puppies and seniors. I have no issues with potty training or house sitting. I work part time and have plenty of availability for walking, playing or sitting any day of the week! I am open to early mornings as well as multiple times a week or consistent scheduling. I adjust according to owners systems and ways of training. I respect the owners trainings and the needs of your pet! I respect others personal property and home and will treat it like it were my own as well as your pets!

About: My father taught me about life by giving me pets since I was able to walk. Animals are a gift and should be treated like they are family. I work full time, but I still have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Having a small farm myself, my kids, who are older, pitch in to give animals all the care and love they need! I have a fenced in property and enclosed kennels for exercise. I also enjoy taking them on walks and playing ball with them outside. Any specific requests will try to be honored…

“Stephanie was FABULOUS! She went the extra mile to ensure our pups were happy and comfortable. Usually when I go out of town, I come home to two pups that seem pretty depressed, but when I came back this time, it's like I hadn't even left! Stephanie kept them plenty occupied and I'm sure they felt loved while they were with her. I will definitely be retaining Stephanie in the future. :)”

About: 10 + years paid professional experince. I began my pet care experience over 20 years ago as a veterinary assistant, from there I moved into pet obedience training with Petsmart. There I worked with as many as 80 pets per week in group classes, and one on one classes for specail needs pets. I have worked with a variety of breeds, from toys, to standards, to herding, working and bully breeds. From Petsmart I went on to create my own business Spokane Pet Sitting which I operated for years. Within that time I grew my business from a handful of pet parents to over 300, I also employed two additional sitters, and branched out from just domestic cats and dogs, into fish, reptiles, equine, and even llamas! I bring many years of paid experience with a various species, special needs, seniors, and the administration of medications. I was also a volunteer at the SEattle Aquarium for a season as well as the zoo. I am also available to transport house pets to and from vet appointments, therapy, and groomers using pet saftey belts. My experience brings professionalism to an otherwise "casual" job. I am reliable, and am never a "no show" or too busy. I take your pets' health and welfare very seriously. At Your Service, Jenifer I am currently uncommitted to any situation, and have full discrepancy of how to fill my time and create relationships. I am looking to find a handful of regular clients to service several times a year, so that I can become familar with their pets, their home, and their needs, and establish good camaraderie for the well being of everyone +pets. I usually need a weeks notice to arrange appointments to accomodate stays, but maybe able to work in with shorter notices. I prefer to take one client at a time and focus on them before going to the next assignment, with the exception of once a day drop-in's for cats. I can also care for llamas! : ) Our visits usually go like this: FIrst, we need to establish what type of care each per needs. Is onyone on meds? Is there a senior pet? or perhaps a puppy? What are there normal routines? What your directives are in case of an emergency. Your pets HEALTH is always the most important aspect of my job is upon entry and exit to make sure the doors/gates are completely closed/latched, nothing is left out that may present a choking or dangerous to injest, doors to laundry or garages are closed. Next, to give your pet the love, pets, and attention they are craving (that's the BEST part of my job)! To prepare meals, change water, clean up messes while they eat, bring in the mail or take out the trash as may be needed. Then after safety, love and food, we'll do whatever your pet likes to do most! Sometimes that means snuggles and pets, or run and fetch, sometimes it is just quiet time together. Then I will quietly and safely take my leave, making sure that your home is secure and alarms are set.
About: So happy to take your dog where they want to go! I’ve been a dog sitter since I can remember & have sat in on multiple dog trainings. I love to be outside and live in a very dog friendly area! I’m flexible and easy going, don’t hesitate to reach out 😊 I’m currently working part time remote and have been wanting to find something to fill my time, what better than dog sitting? I am happy to stay in contact for life, I am reliable and will be very communicative. I have a very open schedule! I always follow pet owners rules. I have a large backyard for your pet and also love to get in a lot of leash walks in a day. I do not own my own pet so yours will get all my attention. Also live in a non-smoker home.
About: Hi, I'm Stephanie, and this is my husband Luke. We're your Critter Companions, and with us, two is always better. For overnight stays we work as a team, which means double the attention, double the playtime, and an extra set of eyes on your property. We specialize in residential pet and property care. As independent caretakers, our mission is estate-level care that gives you complete peace of mind: your pets stay comfortable in their own home, and your property is truly looked after, not just checked on. ✦ What We Specialize In We're especially comfortable with the pets and situations that need extra care and attention: ✓ Special needs and senior pets (blind, deaf, mobility-challenged, or behaviorally complex) ✓ Complex medication schedules: pills, injections, eye drops, you name it ✓ High-maintenance breeds that need extensive grooming, intense exercise, or dedicated training ✓ Extended stays, comfortably caring for your pets for weeks or even months at a time ✓ Holiday care, because I don't disappear during Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's ✓ Multi-pet households, managing different personalities, feeding schedules, and needs ✓ Anxious or reactive pets, with patient, consistent care that helps nervous animals feel secure ✦ A Little About Us We were both raised around animals, but I turned that passion into my life's work. I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, the neighborhood's trusted pet sitter long before it was a profession. Thirteen years later, I've cared for everything from easy-going family dogs to high-maintenance breeds with special medical needs, for stays ranging from long weekends to month-long holidays. What clients tell me sets me apart is how I read animals. I pick up on the subtle changes in behavior, body language, and those little cues that tell you something's off before it becomes a problem. I'm not going through the motions; I love what I do, and that enthusiasm shows in how I care for your pets and your home. ✦ Your Home, Cared For I look after your home just as carefully: mail, plants, trash bins, security checks, and that lived-in presence that keeps your property safe. You'll receive regular photo and video updates so you can truly relax while you're away. ✦ Values You Can Trust Beyond the practical care, we believe the people you let into your home matter just as much as the work they do. We love the Lord, and our faith in Jesus shapes how we run our business and how we treat what's entrusted to us. For us that means a simple, steady lifestyle: we don't drink, smoke, party, or invite guests into your home. While you're away, your house stays exactly as it should, quiet, respected, and cared for, with nothing happening under your roof that you wouldn't welcome yourself. When you hand us your keys, you're trusting us with your home and your family. We take that seriously, and we hold ourselves to it no matter the circumstances. ✦ Let's Connect Over the years I've built lasting relationships with pets and their owners because I treat every home like my own and every pet like family. I'd be honored to earn that same trust from you. If you're looking for someone who will love and protect your pets (and home) like their own, let's connect. Pet care isn't a side hustle for me—it's my primary focus and passion. My husband and I are entrepreneurs with flexible schedules, which means we can provide the kind of attentive, present care that pets truly need. For overnight stays, we're in your home from evening through the following morning (and throughout the day if needed), so your pets are never alone for extended periods. We don't juggle multiple clients at once or rush between appointments. When we commit to caring for your pets, they have our full attention for the duration of your trip. We're available for extended stays including weekends, holidays, and even month-long commitments. Because we work as a team, your pets benefit from having two consistent caregivers who can coordinate schedules, provide extra play sessions, and ensure someone is always nearby if needed. In Your Home: I've been around animals literally since I was an infant—they've always been my comfort, my joy, and honestly, my obsession. There's something about the presence of animals that just feels like home to me, and that's exactly the energy I bring to your pets and property. As the owner of a young, energetic Miniature Australian Shepherd, I know firsthand what it takes to meet the demands of intelligent, high-energy breeds. I'm devoted to keeping my own dog mentally stimulated, physically tired, and emotionally fulfilled—and I bring that same level of commitment to every pet in my care. Your pets aren't just a job to me; they're loved and treated with the same compassion and attention I give my own. Pet Safety & Care: ✓I follow your routines exactly—feeding times, medication schedules, exercise patterns, and house rules ✓Secure all doors, windows, and gates before letting pets outside (no escape artists on my watch!) ✓Keep toxic plants, foods, and hazards out of reach ✓Monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health ✓Have your vet information and emergency contacts readily accessible ✓Never introduce your pets to unfamiliar animals or people without permission ✓Provide the mental stimulation and physical activity your pets need to stay happy and healthy Home Security & Cleanliness: ✓Maintain a "lived-in" presence with lights, blinds, and your normal routine ✓Collect mail and packages to avoid signaling an empty home ✓Take trash bins to/from curb on collection days ✓Water plants and maintain your home's appearance ✓Provide regular photo/video updates so you can see everything (and everyone) is doing great ✓I pride myself on attention to detail and cleanliness—you'll come home to a thoroughly cleaned space that exceeds expectations Trust & Respect: I treat your home with the utmost respect—no unauthorized guests ever and I leave your space cleaner than I found it. My husband and I work as a team, which means your pets get double the love and your home gets double the oversight. The best part? When you walk through that door after your trip, your pets will be more giddy than ever to see you—well-exercised, well-loved, and so happy you're home. And you can relax knowing everything was handled with care.
About: Trusting your dog with anyone is a big deal, and I want you to feel at ease the entirety of the stay. Just know that you can count on me. I will not only make sure they are safe but also give them lots of love. Experience: I’ve always been a big animal lover! When I was around 13, I began pet sitting for friends and people around the neighborhood. Now, I have about 6 years experience pet sitting different clients. Taking care of and just being around dogs gives me so much joy, and I think this is the greatest job in the world!😊🐾 The sitting process: If wanted, I am available for meet and greets to make sure I am the perfect fit for you and your family! During the pet sitting process, I will give you updates on how your dog is doing, and send you pictures of your baby while you are away. I can take them on walks, play, feed, give them medication, and more. Just ask if there’s anything special you need done. I will request a lot of information about what your needs and wants before hand just to make sure we are on the same page. If I am staying at your home, one of my goals is to make your lives easier! So if there are little things that need to be done I can do it if asked. I am very responsible. I am an accounting major, so I am very detail oriented, precise, and responsible in anything that I do 😉 About me: I am 21 years old and currently enrolled at the University of Utah. But, I live in California now with my parents finishing my last year of school online! I am going to be a lease accountant when I graduate. Because I can do everything from my computer, I have a ton of time for your pet. I also, have 3 pets (2 dogs 1 cat) but they are technically my parents, so I can make your pets my priority! I am currently finishing up my senior year of college doing online classes, and when I graduate I already have a work from home job lined up. So, I have a lot of spare time to care for your pet! I am available even on short notice a lot of the time. I do all my school on my computer so I can keep your dog company without leaving them alone. Trust is the most important thing for me when dog sitting. I want you and your dog to both be able to trust and rely on me. It is so important to find someone trustworthy when it comes to our pets because they are the most important things in the world for us. Feel free to call or FaceTime me anytime to see how your baby is doing. I will always answer. I will send updates and photos. I will also let you know whenever I go somewhere. And like I said, I am available to do a meet and greet before hand.
About: I've always been the to go-to animal sitter for my friends & family, they know how much I adore & love animals. I will always love and care for them as if they are my own. I have an open schedule to be able to care for your fur babies. I own my own cleaning/organizing business as well if you are interested. I will care for your fur babies in your home just as you would with all the love and comfort in the world for them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ponderay
Brazee was great to work with! We were needing an option while on vacation so that we could take the kids to Silverwood for the day and not have to worry about the dogs at the Air BnB. Dogs were well cared for and Brazee sent photos and updates. Would definitely recommend her for your pet needs.

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!!

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.
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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
