“Kaylee did such a fantastic job looking after my cat, Henry. He’s usually wary of new people, but from the photos she sent it looked like they quickly became friends. I would absolutely rebook Kaylee again. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and truly love being around animals. From a young age, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, including puppies and senior dogs. I work from home, which allows me to be very flexible and present throughout the day. Pets in my care are rarely left alone and get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I’m able to accommodate regular routines, feedings, and any special needs, and I’m available for daytime care, drop-ins, and overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. I provide a calm, safe, and structured environment for every pet in my care. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs and always introduce new pets slowly and thoughtfully to ensure everyone is comfortable. I closely supervise interactions, follow each pet’s routine, and can crate your dog if needed. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Lauren took care of my feline babies Felix & Oliver for drop in visits while away on family vacay. She was prompt and ensured both were fed, safe and litter box cleaned. She is kind, personable and someone I highly trust to care for my boys....and my Pumpkin if needed. I will definitely reach out to book her again in the future....Thank you again Lauren...”
About: Hi all! I am Lexi, a current vet tech of over 8+ years and extend my passion for animals to pet sitting at a reasonable price. I have always had a love for animals, and have showed this through continuous care and rehabilitation in my career. I want my clients to feel secure knowing their babies are safe and well cared for whether they are on vacation, at work or gone for an emergency they can count on me! My skills and devotion are not limited to just cats and dogs, as I have experience with all types of animals- reptiles, exotics, livestock etc. I currently work part time so the time they will be alone is limited. I offer drop ins at your home or pet boarding in mine. I have a very large fenced in yard for your baby to play and do business! As well as two other puppies to keep entertainment and activity alive. Crating/separating is not an issue as I have crates if needed and a spare room.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life!! Always having a minimum of 5 pets in our household at a time growing up. I’m currently a dog groomer and have worked in the animal industry for 4 years! I’m extremely comfortable with majority of dogs and cats.. I’m currently working full time as a dog groomer and am usually available any time after 3-4:30 for your fur babies!! Im off work on Wednesday and Saturdays and am usually available all day! We are in slow season so currently I’m available more than usual sporadically! I don’t have a fenced in back yard but I have two friendly dogs and cats to keep your fur baby company!! I have a double dog crate (small dog sized) set up in our living room with a camera monitoring it!! We go outside to go potty frequently and go out for walks on cooler days! There are plenty of toys to play with and a huge stash of treats!!
“Bobbie has a heart of gold, was amazing with all of our animals and I will not hesitate to ask for her help again in the future. She went above and beyond. Thank you so much for caring for our babies.”
About: Hello! For most of my life I've grown up around pets. We always had dogs and cats, and while currently we have four cats I often house sit my mother's dog Honey. I have a passion for animals I hope to someday turn into a career. Just a side note while I am available weekends my time is limited to late mornings early afternoons due to transportation issues Currently I am unemployed and trying to get out of the food service industry. I have access to a vehicle if needed for house visits. I will happily take your furry friend on multiple walks, drop in to ensure everyone gets bathroom breaks, or even watch your cats if you're out of town. Typically for our four cats I take sole care of them. They are fed 1/4 cup dry food each 2 times a day and a can of wet food a day as well. Our cats are older so there's not much activity wise, however when Honey my mother's dog visits we usually do two walks a day. We also have a fenced in backyard for zoomies, full screened in lanai (with a pool which can be sectioned off) for post zoomies. When watching her overnight she gets herself a full bowl of dry food to graze on while receiving two portions of wet food throughout the day.
About: My life-long passion for animals led me to the wonderful world of pet sitting. As a dedicated cat lover, I know how important it is to trust someone with your family. I offer personalized drop-in visits and house sitting, ensuring your cat feels cozy, safe, and happy in their own space while you're away. I provide daily photo updates and am experienced with special diets and medications. I work from home so I have flexibility to incorporate plenty of play time breaks as well as cuddles throughout the day. I enjoy keeping pets fully engaged and active as much as possible! I am focused on maintaining a safe, comfortable environment for your pet either at your home or mine. I make sure the floors are kept free of any objects which could be a hazard and that pets are in a safely confined area.
About: I have been dog sitting all of my adult life, a variety of ages. Most of my experience is with senior dogs, my family dog included (16 year old cocker spaniel). I have taken dog body language courses at my local shelter to help me be more aware of how dog communicate with people and other dogs. This knowledge allows me to keep your dog safe and comfortable. High need dogs are always welcome and if your note to your dog watcher is a booklet I'm your girl! The more I know about your dog the better care I can provide so information is always welcome! My job is to provide care, keep your dog on their schedule and maintain the training you worked hard to provide your dog with. Looking forward to helping care for your furry family! I am a RN so my schedule is flexible, as long as i have a few days notice I can work with your schedule and we can figure out a plan for your pet! When providing care to your pet I will be present and active with them. I usually provide update pictures so you know they are doing okay and to provide peace of mind. Any specific care instructions provided i will be happy to follow, you need me to sit with them while they eat no problem! I have to sing them a so g before I put their food down, Im happy to! No ask is too much!
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life.

My passion for animals isn’t just a hobby it’s something I want to continue doing for years to come, giving every pet the love, attention, and care they need. I don’t have a job so I think this will be a great starter job to start with since I love animals and been around them my whole life I have a dog she is two years old and she loves to run and play outside and inside and she loves people. She sleeps in her bed and in mine. She loves her alone time but also wants attention and she always gets it.

“Cher is wonderful! This was my first experience using this service. I'm visiting from out of town and had to go out of town for a few days. Cher responded to my request quickly.

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.

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 .
