“Madelynn did an amazing job watching my two cats over night while on vacation for a week. When we returned home you could tell the cats were well taken care of and were getting plenty of attention throughout the week. She also takes great pictures! I love getting the updates and pictures while we were gone. She left the house spotless, which was greatly appreciated! I will definitely be hiring her in the future and without a doubt would recommend her to my friend and family! Thank you so much Madelynn!”
“Cori did a great job taking care of our 3 cats! She was even able to coax the antisocial one out for pets and treats. I loved seeing the pictures every day and knowing the cats were well taken care of.”
“Olivia was great, went above and beyond! I have a special needs cat and she spent time making him comfortable so she could assist him with eating and the litter box. Will go to her again”
“Megan was so sweet and was super awesome with my sassy cat. She knows how to handle a cat that will bite and swat at you and she has the patience and understanding to know when they’re being playful or aloof. Megan also helped to keep a lot of litter from tracking in my house and was a great communicator. I loved that she sent a ton of pictures of her playing with my cat and my cat hanging out and being goofy.”
“Emma was amazing. We however dropped the ball this time with a few things and she was so understanding. The pups loved her. Her communication was awesome. Will definitely use her again if she can put up with us 🤦🏻♀️🤣”
About: I’ve been around animals all my life. I have three goldendoodles, Sullie who’s 10, Allie who’s 5, and Marlie who’s 2. I have helped potty train them all and have taught them basic tricks. I have also cared for friends/families pets when in need. I love all animals and enjoy making them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medications, or extra cuddles, I’m happy to help. I’m currently a full-time nursing student and have a summer nurse internship working 12 hour shifts, but I have multiple days off throughout the week that allow me to spend quality time caring for pets. My schedule varies, so I keep my availability updated. When I’m caring for your pet, they’ll get lots of attention, love, and dependable care! I always try to stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress free. In your home, I will provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleanup, potty breaks, and lots of attention and affection. I also make sure the home is left clean and secure. I’ll also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is doing well!
About: At my house your fur baby(s) will be treated like they are my own! I work at a doggie daycare right near my house, they will get lots of potty breaks and plenty of time to run around and play with my dog or if you prefer they can have one on one. I have a split level with 3 bedrooms so I am very capable of separating dogs from people and other dogs and I’ve worked in daycares where we had to shuffle dogs around due to their preference and needs. My yard is in the process of being fenced (as of August 2020) so I bring dogs to the dog park down the road from my house! For house sitting I am more limited on my schedule as I have my son most of the time except every other weekend. I can do drop ins anytime from 6am-9am and 3pm-9pm. I will make your pup or kitty feel right at home while you are enjoying your trip! I provide daily check ins, with either a FaceTime call to see your little buddy or photo/video sent in text messages! Your pet will also go home with a report card on how well he or she was for me! I have 5 years of experience working at dog boarding/daycare facilities, I started for vet tech at Globe, I own an Aussie border collie mix of my own, I've grown up with dogs, I have worked at pet's mart for 2 years with animal care. I also worked at a dog shelter and I've trained dogs as well. I've house sat for many people's dogs too! I want to continue my passion I Also have a certification in dog training from animal behavior college and have successfully trained dogs since. I have years of experience in dog sitting and cat sitting I even have been in charge of watching over a whole horse ranch which includes breeding Aussies. I love it and want to continue my experience. ****** I do allow dogs on the couch IF the owner okays it. I will do my best to accommodate the dogs stay so they have a positive experience and get a little pampered while you’re away******
“We are so glad to have met Jessica through Rover to care for our diabetic cat. Jessica is responsive, easy to communicate with, and sends pictures/updates of our cat(s). We 100% recommend Jessica!”
“Very attentive to Mojo. Mojo was very scared and wouldn’t come out of his kennel/carrier, but Thomas tried to get him out with food and toys, lots of patience! He has a very calm demeanor to help calm your pet.”
“Megan did a fantastic job taking care of my 2 cats, and chickens! I could tell they were well cared for when I got home. I really appreciate the time and love you have them! Thank you Megan!”
“Holly is just wonderful! She took amazing care of our cat for the 6 days we were gone. She sent me pictures everyday which I adored and clearly showed how much my cat loved her too. I unexpectedly had to extend my vacation a day and Holly was super flexible and covered an extra day super short notice. 100 stars!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and also worked with all different types of dogs while working at a doggy day care. I learned there body language and behaviors I currently work part time and have plenty of time to spare and I just want to do something I love. More open on weekdays then weekends. I treat them as my own. Take them on many walks and make sure they get everything they need. Play with them and keep them company
About: I have raised several dogs from the time they were puppies. I have done obedience training with all of them. I truly enjoy the loyal companionship of a dog. I am currently on SSDI, so I am retired. I do have a karaoke DJ business, but that usually only takes me away one or two nights a month. I currently have a French bulldog who is fixed and he is very friendly with other dogs. I also have two cats, but I have the ability to separate them from the rest of the house.
About: I lived with 2 cats for a majority of my life. I have experience watching animals for family and friends, looking to meet new best friends. I am currently working full time and going to school part time to earn my master’s degree. Looking for a fun side job to keep life interesting. I am open to having the animals out in the open or crated when not around. Would love to have a yard to play with animals, but not opposed to going to local parks.
About: I have been walking dogs for 3 years. The dog I currently walk is a Golden Retriever with a lot of energy! I have also walked other large dogs as well as small dogs. I currently walk a dog every morning Monday through Friday, and 2 small dogs as needed. We enjoy going for walks and to the dog park if requested. We have gone on car rides to different parks for walks as well as walking in the neighborhood. I love the time I get to spend with the dogs. Dog walking is what I do. Every day Monday through Friday I walk a Golden Retriever. After that I am open to taking on more walking or drop in visits. When going to clients homes I am always careful to be sure to lock up the home after our walk. I check to be sure that there is adequate water. I am respectful of others private space and leave things as I find them. I give treats if requested. On hot days we can keep walks shorter if requested. I will also brush your dog if you request this.

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.

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 .

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 .
