“Jolynn is always great with our elderly cats. Every time she has taken care of them for us she has gone above and beyond to make sure they’re well fed and properly medicated. We would not be able to travel or go on business trips without her help; it is greatly appreciated.”
“Jessica took great care of my kitties while I was out of town. I received pictures of them playing, enjoying food and treats. I knew I could enjoy my vacation with Jessica there to care for my animals. I will be booking with her again! Thank you! 🐾”


“Carissa took great care of our two pit bull mixes with drop-in visits at our home. One of our dogs is quite skittish with new people and she won him over quickly. We especially loved getting photos at every visit. We will rebook her again.”

“Everything went great! It really gave me peace of mind to know Becky was checking on our cats, and getting updates on how they are doing. Came home to happy kitties. What a relief!”

“Jessica was awesome, my dogs loved her! She was super reliable, sent me pictures each visit, and really went above and beyond with my pups. They were calm and happy when I got home, a nice change from previous vacations with other pet sitters. We can’t wait to use Jessica again!”

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs for at least 20 years. I love each as if they were my own. I also love turtles, and frogs but don’t have much experience with them. ❤️🐸❤️ I can do dog walking, and any other daily drop ins you may need. My schedule is very open for any house/pet sitting you may need also. I’d like this to be what I do for a career. I am willing to stay with your pet in your home and to walk your dogs in their favorite places. I want them to feel at home and comfortable.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and was fortunate to grow up learning from my father, an experienced police K-9 trainer and handler. That lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior, as well as the patience and confidence to care for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I have experience with crate training, potty training, leash training, helping dogs become comfortable around children and other animals, and working through food and toy resource guarding. My goal is to provide every dog with a safe, structured, and loving environment where they can feel right at home. I currently offer boarding in my home and drop-in visits for all types of pets, as well as boarding for up to three dogs at a time to ensure each guest receives plenty of individual attention and care. Since I’m home throughout the day, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I can provide frequent potty breaks for puppies, maintain training routines, administer oral medications according to your instructions, and offer the extra patience and comfort that senior dogs often need. I intentionally limit boarding to just three (sometimes four) dogs at a time so every guest receives individualized care and attention. For your convenience, I also offer flexible pick-up and drop-off services for an additional $30 each way. For boarding stays longer than three days, I may require a doggy daycare trial of at least four hours. This gives your pup the opportunity to become familiar with my home and allows us to make sure we’re a great fit for one another before an extended stay. For the safety and well-being of all pets in my care, I may ask for proof of current vaccinations (required) prior to boarding. Every day is centered around providing a calm, structured, and enjoyable experience for the pets in my care. We spend time playing, enjoying supervised outdoor time, and fitting in plenty of cuddles and enrichment throughout the day. I do my best to maintain each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions you provide, so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers a quiet place to relax, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. We live on a beautiful one-acre property with a fully fenced backyard where dogs have plenty of room to explore, play, and stretch their legs. Because our yard is surrounded by trees and natural foliage, I do require all boarding dogs to be on a veterinarian-recommended tick preventative for their protection. Whether your pet is staying overnight or I’m stopping by for a drop-in visit, I’ll follow their routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. Since we’re home much of the day, your dog will receive lots of companionship, playtime, and individualized attention. I also pay close attention to each dog’s body language and comfort level, allowing them to interact at their own pace. Teaching my children to respect animals, recognize their cues, and honor their boundaries has created a calm, gentle environment where pets are treated with kindness, patience, and the same love we’d give our own.
“His Honda was great!!! She sent pictures every time she visited and our pets looked very happy!! Both our dog & cat were happy & calm when we returned!! Will 100% be asking Yushonda back if she’ll have us! -)”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have my own puppy, Mika, and I’ve helped care for her dog parents and their litter of nine puppies, which gave me valuable experience with young dogs and the extra attention they require. I’ve also cared for a doodle named Libby, as well as my foster parents’ dogs, Bella and Brutus. Through these experiences, I’ve become comfortable managing multiple dogs, maintaining routines, providing exercise and enrichment, and making sure each dog receives individual attention and care. As a nanny, I’m naturally patient, attentive, and dependable. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am on summer break from graduate school until I go back the last week of August. I currently have Tuesdays-Thursdays free and Saturdays and Sundays free! I will follow any sort of special feeding schedule, and I am able to crate dogs of they need to be! I have a dog who likes to try and run out the front door so I have lots of experience making sure dogs like her stay inside and safe! I also have 10+ years of cat experience and stick to strict feeding times and cleaning litter boxes!
“We think Ainsley did amazing. First she was able to watch our dog (Fidelis) at such short notice. Second she did everything we asked. And most importantly cared for and loved our dog like a family member. Great job Ainsley! Hope to be able to have you again for next time. Thank you. My wife really appreciate all that you have done.”

“Thank you for being there for us to take care of our little fur babies Athena and Robin! You are amazing and greatly appreciated. Giving you a little extra tip since you had to clean up after Athena today!”

About: I’ve had the joy of owning cats and dogs for many many years. I have owned several varieties. I have also had the joy of taking care of other peoples pets. I currently work part-time and I can fit pet Care into my daily and or weekly routine with ease. I am available for more hours in the summer. I tend to care for others pets in their home or walking. I do have my own pets and I know it’s not best to introduce unknown animals.
“Kati was awesome! It was our first time booking with Rover and she put our mind at ease right away with our first meet and greet. I would definifley book her again. Our dog absolutely loved her! She took great care of him. She was great at communicating and was very responsive. She did everything we asked and gave our dog lots of love while we were gone. So happy to find such a great pet sitter! :)”

“Sarah was amazing with our pup! He loves her so much and she made sure he had no accidents the whole visit. She was so great about keeping us updated on how he was doing and sending photos to keep us posted! We would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet and knowledgeable pet sitter. ☺️”

About: No matter if your pet is big or small I will love them with all of my heart and spoil them. I believe pets need extra attention when their families are away so they don’t feel left behind. I work during the week but on the weekends I’d love to help you with your pet so you can take that weekend getaway you deserve! I’m a huge animal lover and this is honestly a great opportunity for me to get to love on as many animals as possible. I am very careful when opening outside doors to ensure everyone stays safe. I always triple check fences and keep an eye out for any potential risks.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rankin
We really enjoyed Carissa and she did a great job taking care of our senior cat. She stood out immediately by taking detailed notes and asking great questions when she came to me us and our cat. We were unsure how our cat would react to a stranger giving him a pill every night, but Carissa was patient and gentle and she was successful. We would most certainly invite Carissa back to watch our cat in the future.

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. 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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
