“Kristen is truly the best! She accepted my last-minute request, came over beforehand to take detailed notes, and gave my sweet old cat so much love and cuddles over the 3 days. Buckley is 19, so leaving her is hard—and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in Kristins care. She was thoughtful, caring, and wonderful. Highly recommend! ❤️”
“Alexis took care of our 2 special needs cats for 2.5 weeks, and did a fantastic job! She provided multiple photos and great updates with each visit, which were really appreciated.”
“Emily did a great job looking after my skittish cat, and on very short notice. My kitty even seems to be happy to see her! Very caring and professional. Would not hesitate to book with her again!”
“Katherine was great with my kitten. This was my first time leaving him with someone and I was a little worried, but she gave me pictures and videos right away and kept me updated every day. He was very happy and loved being with her.”
“Sebnem was amazing at taking care of my cat with drop in visits while I was away. She treated my cat as her own and was very accommodating. She is a wonderful cat sitter, Thank you!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for family members, since I was in high school. I am very patient and respectful of your pet’s boundaries. I can do all of the basics for pet care, such as feeding, walking and playtime. I am also comfortable with giving pet’s their medication. I’m a college student looking for a summer job, to help pay for my tuition and expenses! This will be a great stress reducer. I am very patient and respectful of an animals boundaries. Sometimes, pets don’t want to be bothered when meeting new people, and that’s fine!
“Hannah stepped in to take care of our newly diagnosed diabetic kitty. She administered medicine and sent photos to make sure we knew he was doing good! We are so appreciative that we found her!”
About: Hey! I’m a compassionate local pet-sitter with over 3 years of experience who can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I’ve gotten the joy of working with an expansive variety of animals over recent years; from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats or even special needs, sick/injured pets, etc. I’m comfortable with any size and breed, and I’ve watched up to 7 pets per home at a time! Additionally, I have a certification in Pet First Aid via the American Red Cross. At all walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, I will put the well-being of your pet first. Whether that means keeping them safe in extreme heat or next to busy streets, tracking and administering medications, or simply giving them a good belly rub, your pet deserves my undivided attention, so that’s what I’m prepared to give. I hope we can chat soon! :) I currently have a pretty flexible schedule as my other job is part-time, so I am able to prioritize you and your pets! I especially love walking dogs in the morning times and on weekends. I care for pets by providing constant attention while in my client’s home. I watch over their body language to understand the pet’s needs. Before the stays, I try to do good research on your specific breed so I will be prepared. Outside of educating myself, I find showing kindness and fostering a true compassion for animal well-being is most important in pet care.
“My cat sitter that I’ve used for years was retiring and I was in panic mode to find a new sitter. My sister recommended Rover. I did 3 Meet and Greets and Jackie stood out! She was comfortable, knowledgeable, and interested in my cats, not just what she was expected to do. So glad we met. And her services were perfect. Always sent note and pics each day. I was never concerned and could enjoy my vacation. I will be rebooking for my next trip!!! Thank you Jackie ❤️”
“My fur child doesnt warm up easily to many people but he likes Maria a lot and will actually play with her when I’m out of town. She’s great with him and cares for jinx so well I’ve booked her twice in a matter of weeks and will continue to do so when I need a sitter. 10/10”
“Brittany did an amazing job taking care of Ferguson in our home. She was very communicative and went above and beyond making sure Ferguson was happy while we were away. Can’t recommend enough!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I understand that each pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to following each owner’s instructions carefully. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or simply keeping a pet company, I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I start classes at UTD on August 24, but I’ll still have time to provide dependable care before and after classes, as well as on many weekends. I also attend church on Thursdays and Sundays, so I plan my schedule around those commitments. I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications (if needed), and any special care requests. I take time to help pets feel comfortable and make sure they always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay aware of our surroundings. In a client’s home, I treat both the home and pets with respect, keep everything clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs, including previously owning and caring for seven cats. Through the years, I've gained hands-on experience with feeding, walking, grooming, administering basic care, playtime, and understanding each pet's unique personality and needs. I have also volunteered at animal shelters, helping care for animals and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In addition, my mom owned a dog grooming business, and I regularly helped out, giving me valuable experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I am reliable, patient, and genuinely passionate about animal care. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or simply extra attention while you're away, I will treat them with the same love and care I would give my own pets. My goal is to make sure your furry family members feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind. I am currently working a part-time job as a barista, but animals are my real passion. I volunteer at shelters as much as i can throughout my work week and hopefully also get the opportunity to love and care for your animal! My schedule varies but I always manage to make time for walks, sits, and just extra love for your pet! Let me know your needs and schedule and I’ll make it work! 🩷🐾 My cats are extremely spoiled, the best food, litter, and treats known to kind! My animals are always my priority in life and receive unlimited amounts of love. My cats sleep with me every night and wait at the door for me to get home. I plan to give your animals the same treatment and attention as my own. Animals are the purest part of our world and deserve the most love possible.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life, first as a dog owner for 8 years and now cats. I have some experience in fostering. I’m also taking care of several stray cats outside my yard, making sure they’re fed and hydrated daily. Those who know me knows how much love I have for animals- so much so that I often find myself putting their needs before my own. Whether it’s providing comfort, playtime, or presence, I always go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe and loved. I’m available Monday-Friday from 5 PM to 10 PM, as well as all day on Saturdays. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, feeding, a potty break, a walk, or simply some extra love and attention while you're away, I'd be happy to help! Drop-in visits: Feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks, and playtime. Dog walking: Walks after work during weekdays and full days on Saturdays. I live in a house with a fenced yard, providing plenty of safe space for my pets to run and play. Since I’m usually the only person home during the day, the environment is quiet and calm. I also set clear boundaries to help them feel secure and understand their space.
About: I’ve dog sat for all types of dogs- from Great Danes to Dachshunds! All sizes are welcome and I’m always excited to meet new fur-friends! During the weekdays, I’m available for morning walks, lunch walks and after work hours! And I’m available all day during the weekends! This could be as either walks or over night stays. I’m also available on Thursdays and Fridays for daily check in or boarding! I would feel more comfortable staying at the pet’s home to prevent any stress towards the pet. And really enjoy walks so that’s something you’ll always find us doing.
About: Family and friends always come to me to dog sit. I have taken care of senior dogs to puppy’s and every age and size between. Currently work as a professional petsitter. I am around pets all day and would love to add more to my schedule. Pets are my passion! When going into your home my goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible. After, making sure the pet is let out, has water, and any other needs taken care of.

Alex has been amazing! We've had her check in on our cats on multiple occasions and most recently while we were gone abroad. She made sure to come in every day that we had scheduled. She sent us pictures and updates of our fur babies which were detailed. 10/10 would recommend!
Erin did an amazing job with my cats. She truly understands their language, and will make them feel comfortable plus win them over day one! My cats are different every day, and Erin was able make them feel comfortable and happy whether that meant giving pets, playing with them, entertaining them while they watched (lol), or just simply letting them have their space. Her daily write ups are very detailed, fun to read, and she provides amazing pictures in them. Your pets will be well taken care of. Will book again!
Kristen did a wonderful job caring for my chihuahua, bulldog, and kitty while I was gone. She kept in close communication with me and sent me photos during each visit. She even washed their dirty dishes and took out the trash because it was full! My pets received lots of loving care and attention during my absence. I highly recommend Kristen and plan to have her care for my pets again!
I can’t say enough good things about our cat walker, Mia! She has been absolutely amazing with my two ragdoll boys, Loki and Thor. Not only does she take them on their walks, but she also did drop-in visits while I was out of town—and I had complete peace of mind the entire time. What really sets her apart is how interactive and engaged she is with them. She doesn’t just show up and go through the motions—she truly spends quality time encouraging them to explore, play, and of course, get plenty of cuddles. It’s so clear she genuinely loves what she does, and even more importantly, she truly loves my boys. Loki and Thor adore her. They literally cry at the door when they know she’s coming, which says everything. Seeing how excited they get and how comfortable they are with her makes it an easy decision every time—I’ve already booked her multiple times and will continue to do so. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Mia is the one. She goes above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
This is our third time booking with Jasi and yet again, she was exceptional! I had miscalculated my days during booking and needed more visits, Jasi did not hesitate to jump in and cover while we were away. As always, she was thorough, loving to our kitties and assured me they were well taken care of while we were away! We will absolutely book with her again!
We recently went on a three-day international trip and needed someone truly trustworthy to look after our cat. We were fortunate enough to find Vicki, and I can confidently say she exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, professional, and thoughtful. She asked the right questions, paid attention to every detail, and instantly gave us peace of mind. While we were away, Vicki cared for our cat with a level of dedication and kindness that is rare to find. She didn’t just “check in” on him—she genuinely spent time with him, comforted him, played with him, and made sure he felt safe and loved in our absence. Her updates were consistent, detailed, and incredibly reassuring. Each photo and message reflected how much she truly cares about animals. When we came back home, we could immediately see the difference. Our cat was calm, happy, and completely relaxed—almost as if we had never left. In fact, over the past few days, we can tell he genuinely misses Vicki and keeps looking toward the door, waiting for her to walk in again. It’s rare for him to bond with someone new so quickly, and that alone says everything about the level of comfort and trust she created. To be honest, we feel like we’ve found a new member of our family in Vicki. Her kindness, reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional caregiver. Knowing that our cat was in such capable and loving hands allowed us to enjoy our trip without worry. I would recommend Vicki to anyone on Rover who wants true peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone responsible, compassionate, and truly devoted to the well-being of your pet, Vicki is absolutely the person you want. We are so grateful for her and will definitely be booking with her again.

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.

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.
