About: For the past 4 years, I’ve provided loving, dependable care for cats, dogs, and birds through overnight stays, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and walks. Cats are my specialty! I’m very experienced with feline behavior, shy cats and multi-cat households. I love making pets feel calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and routines, including daily walks, companionship, and overnight care. In addition, I have hands on experience with tropical birds and understand the importance of patience, consistency and attention to detail when caring for exotic pets. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every animal! I take my time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I am reliable, communicative, and committed to making pet parents feel confident while they’re away through regular updates and attentive care. I am currently a part-time worker at a local pharmacy and a Full-Time college student looking to make extra money while doing what I love. I am free at least 3-4 days a week, the more notice the better I can work around your preferred schedule. My preference is afternoons, however if mornings or nights are needed I can accommodate! I am more free during week days but can make time on weekends around my work schedule as I typically only work 5-6 hour shifts. I currently can not offer my personal living quarters for care, however I am able to travel up to 40 miles to stay with or check on pets. If you are in need of someone urgently and live outside a 40 mile radius please message me directly and I may be able to still work with you! I will walk, feed, stay with, play with and care for various cats and dog breeds! I also have experience with tropical birds and fish if need be. I will clean up after all animals and leave your home tidy and neat, as well as provide updates at your desired time span i.e (Daily, Hourly, Etc.).
“Thank you so much for caring and taking care of our cats!!! I really appreciate you caring about their safety and wellbeing as much as we do, and I genuinely appreciate all of the communications and pictures. We will definitely use you again!”
“Laura was absolutely amazing! Just what we wanted and needed for our little Sunny. She was responsive, sent lots of pictures, very flexible with the times, overall a very great experience. Sunny was a happy girl when we came home!”
About: I grew up with having a dog around the house, so I have always loved being around pets. The last two summers I have pet sat for families while they were on vacation. Some of the dogs I have taken care of have had medical needs, so I am able to give dogs medication if needed. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I look forward to working and taking care of your pet! During the summer I have more availability outside of when I am on vacation. For house sitting services, I am happy to provide overnight care for your pet. There will be times I will leave the home to run errands, go to work, family time and etc. But I will make sure that your pet’s routine is kept in tact and that they get all the snuggles and love they need. I am a full time teacher so once the school year starts my availability will change. I will not be able to provide pet care in my home. But I can provide pet care in a clients home. I am able to provide walks, feed your pet, provide snuggles, and medication if needed. I will ensure the client home stays clean if I am booked for overnight pet care. If it is too hot outside I may limit the time for the walk. I will also bring a water bottle with a bowl to make sure your dog does not overheat.

When your pet is with me, you can expect consistent care, attention, and safety, including walks, playtime, feeding, and water checks exactly as instructed, along with a calm and patient approach for all dog personalities and energy levels. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing, and I treat every dog like family. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority at all times. I provide a calm, secure, and supervised environment where dogs are never left unattended during care, and I always follow owner instructions carefully for feeding, walks, and routines.

About: Virginia is a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for animals of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. She provides calm, attentive overnight care in your home and does potty breaks during the day. She makes sure the pets she stays with can feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. As a speech-language pathologist by profession, Virginia is patient, observant, and highly attuned to communication and behavior — qualities that carry over naturally into pet care. Whether your creature is playful, anxious, independent, cuddly, goofy, or a little quirky, she believes every pet deserves individualized attention and care. Virginia especially enjoys building relationships with dogs and learning their routines, preferences, and personalities. Expect plenty of updates, affection, walks, playtime, and snuggles. She’s experienced with everything from energetic critters who love activity to seniors who simply want companionship and consistency. Your pet will be treated like family while you’re away.

I can adhere to the safety precautions you have established in your home. I know how important it is to keep a safe, reliable routine.
“Alicia was amazing with both of our dogs. They can be a bit intimidating when you first meet them but she did very well introducing herself to them. They had a great time with her. She sent lots of pictures and videos of the dogs. I would highly recommend Alicia to anyone that needs a sitter.”
“Amanda took care of my two dogs overnight while i was out of town. She was great, she kept me updated along the way and even send me pictures of what they were doing. Overall great experience, i would definitely use her again”
About: I have lived with and cared for pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments for all my life. Animal wellbeing is my #1 passion and I have volunteered with multiple animal welfare organizations, where I have provided love, care, and a sense of routine and safety for dogs & cats of all sizes, ages, & temperaments. This experience, coupled with my certification in pet first aid & CPR, ensure I can offer top-notch care for your fur babies...and leave tails wagging! I am a full-time dog walker/pet carer & am always happy to add new pets to my client list! Advance notice is appreciated, but I will also honor last-minute requests whenever possible. I am extremely cognizant of the trust clients place in their pet carers and always honor that trust. I follow the instructions you give for your pet's care and will always let you know immediately if there are any issues (pet won't eat, limps, etc.). In short, I care for your fur babies as if they were my own - and believe me, people tell me that if they were ever to be reincarnated, they would want to come back as one of my pets! At home, I have a fenced yard and two rescued, and very friendly, golden retrievers who love to make new friends. While my dogs have the run of the house and sleep in my bedroom, I also can easily crate or restrict your pet to a particular room, if you prefer.
“Awesome experience - will definitely look to book with her again next time we're out of town. We received great pics while we were away. It was nice seeing our dogs snuggling up with her looking comfortable and relaxed. One of our pups was having some allergy issues while we were away. We received pics pretty quickly when she started looking a little rashy and asking us to confirm how we wanted her to handle it (as we had discussed before the trip). She reacted fast and our dog was happy and healthy by the time we got home with no rash or redness at all. We're very happy to recommend her. Our dogs and our home were in great hands while we were away.”

Every pet is unique, and I do my best to meet their individual needs with patience and care!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Red Cross
Five stars isn’t enough! Philip is incredible- friendly, relaxed, and instant friends with new pups. We had never left our puppy for more than a few nights, but had a two week honeymoon planned. Philip came over to meet Cabby before the trip, and his professional but warm attitude put our minds at ease immediately. He sent us pictures and updates while we were gone, gave our girl lots of love, and followed her routine (including medication) to give her stability. He also took great care of our home- I swear it might be cleaner than when we left! Without a doubt, the best experience all-around. We will absolutely be reaching out to Philip and Mallory when we start planning our next trip. Thank you so much, Philip, for taking care of Cabby like your own ❤️ and she sends kisses!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Red Cross walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Red Cross maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Red Cross choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .
