About: Hi my name is Yocheved, but a lot of people call me Yo, or Ava. I am an only parent to a wonderful, active middle schooler. We have a happy home full of love and laughter, and 2 kitties. After 14 magical years together, we lost our dog to old age, a couple years back. I miss the feel of having a dog around, but I know in my heart of hearts we are all a little older, and a little busier, and our home cannot house a new permanent four-legged resident. But I do not accept the lack of dogs in our lives! I said yes to dog sitting lately, and I have made so many new friends since. Hanging out with your dogs or cats when you're unable to be there- it's become a thing I look forward to in my home. I love walking the neighborhood or doing drop-ins to feed cats. Let me help you! I'm currently WFH part time, and tend to end my days on the early side, for parenting purposes. Because of this I'm pretty flexible and available throughout the week. I tend to all pets, like I would for my own. I cared for my dog through cancer, twice- so I'm pretty familiar with medicine, senior care, and all the extra effort needed for older or sick animlas. I love to walk, burn off energy, and snuggle. Happy to do light grooming (brushing), and send photos and videos throughout our time together!
About: I have been taking care of dogs for a little over a decade for my friends and family. I also worked at a dog daycare while in college, where I played, fed cuddled, loved, did house visits and overall cared for about any dog breed you can think of! On a regular day at the daycare, we would have around 25 different dogs at a time to care for. I also have have my own dog named Harley and he’s the best boy! I currently work full time but will be slowly transitioning into a new phase of life within the next month so I will have a lot of free time. I plan to focus on pet care fully! I will always treat your fur baby like one of my own. They will have my full attention when I am with them and I will make sure their needs are met. I will follow all instructions you have and give them all of the love to make sure they are happy!
About: I have experience with many different animal species thanks to my work at the zoo! Patience and respect are the two most important elements I've incorporated into any interaction I have with animals. I care for my own cats every day, and frequently help my friends and family with taking their dogs on walks and stopping in to check on them. Adding your pet to my routine would be as natural as heading to the store or grabbing coffee. I work as a bartender, so even on the days that I work, stopping by to check on a pup or walk them during your workday is easy. I've stayed at multiple homes to care for other people's dogs. A weimaraner, an ibizan, a couple boxer-shitzu mixes, some terrier mixes, and many more! Catering to the needs of each individual dog and home comes easily to me, and following instructions for securing pets or households is a top priority.
About: I have been pet sitting for the past 11 years with cozy at home pet sitting. I have had the pleasure of watching chickens, birds, cats, dogs, rabbits, fish, ect. I have two dogs at home Bowzer and Mazel. They are English chocolate labs and I am obsessed with them 🐾🐾 I am currently very available to help with pet sitting needs. I was a special education teacher for over 20 years and decided to change direction in my career. I have a furnished basement that I could board pets and a large yard for potty brakes and play. I have a friendly and safe neighborhood for walking. I'm available for drop-in visits in your home as well.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and taken care of them by myself as well as helping friends and family care for theirs when they were away. My schedule is pretty open but changes day to day. I’m happy to try to work around your schedule! If I happen to be booked, I hope you keep me in mind next time! I am unable to have pets in my apartment unfortunately because my cat does not like other animals. I am only able to care for pets inside your home or outside.
“Rachel is amazing! Every day I get wonderful photos and a description of the visit. My shy kitties absolutely love her. I never feel bad about leaving them home during travels now.”
About: Hi my name is aaziya and I have over 10 years of pet care experience and I am very flexible. Whether your fur baby is reactive, special needs, or you have specific instructions on how you want them cared for, I do it all! My schedule is very open due to the fact that I just left a pet grooming job where I didn’t feel very much comfortable and couldn’t fit into my day to day life Since I don’t have anything other than getting my son to and from daycare that needs my attention, your pet will have all of my undivided attention to care for all their needs! I also have a very large yard for them to either burn energy or just relax in the sun.
About: I grew up in a house with dogs, and have been caring for them my entire life! I’ve had dogs as large as Great Danes or as small as chihuahuas. I’m comfortable caring for all sizes and ages of dogs, and can assist with supplemental training with simple commands such as learning to sit. I’m also happy to assist with any additional care needs such as light grooming, outdoor playtime, or administering oral medication. Monday-Friday I am available until noon for any morning pet care needs. I can assist on weekends or evenings after 9pm as needed- just ask and I am sure we can work something out! Since I am experienced with caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, I am always able to take a calm and unique approach to make sure your pets are comfortable and safe. I pay close attention to body language, and integrate your pet’s personality into my care to make sure they feel respected and stay safe. I love animals, so I always care for them with enthusiasm and make sure they know how much they are loved!
“This is the second time we've booked with Makenna, and I'm yet again a happy customer! She's done a house sitting and drop in visit with fantastic through updates. I feel relieved she's taking such great care of my dog and cat.”
“Dasha has been great with both of my dogs! Blue is a new puppy to us and certainly requires much more work, however Dasha was absolutely fantastic with him and he seemed very thrilled with having someone able to come and play with him while I was gone for the day!”

About: Hi! I’m Jess! I’ve been around every animal possible since I was a child- From reptiles to cats and dogs, to farm animals. I have cared for up to 4 large dogs at a time, and I’m currently a fur mom to my giant 6 months old pup and a leopard gecko! 🐾 I currently work full time, but aside from that, my schedule is pretty flexible! I am available anytime I am not at work for your pets needs! I care for pets in their home by sticking to their usual routine, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for, while keeping the home tidy and following all instructions. I’m attentive to their needs and can provide updates for peace of mind.
About: Hi! I’m Jill and I have been a pet owner my entire life! I have had many puppies, dogs, cats and kittens myself so I definitely have a soft spot for our furry friends! Finding good pet care is just like finding a good babysitter you need someone you can trust and rely on! I hope to be that person for you! No matter if it’s a quick check-in or a walk, my total focus is making sure your pets are living their best life! I have been doing check-in and walks for over 10 years helping out coworkers, friends, family, and neighbors. Just because you might be busy or have a lot on your plate does not mean you should feel guilty for spending a little extra time away from your furry friends. I will use every minute with them to make sure they are comfortable, loved, healthy, safe and well-fed! When it comes to any special instructions, those are always a top priority, your wishes are my command! I run my own buisness and work only 5 minutes from my home! I am very flexible being on my own schedule! I don’t have children yet so my out of work schedule is very loose during the week days! When coming to your home to care for your pets all I ask is that some basic instructions of what you would like done is all that is required! I am well versed in pet care so most requests will not phase me! Dogs: I would love to take your pup for a walk or throw around their favorite toy in your yard if you have a fence or secured yard leash! Let me know how you would like their #2 disposed of for when they use the restroom! And of course, a treat or two for the big brave baby for being so good while their parents are away! Cats: feeding time/treat time is every kitties favorite! Whatever is needed will be executed with the addition of some pets and love! I am no stranger to a litter box so if we need a refresh, don’t hesitate to ask! All I ask, is that if your cat has a favorite toy to let me know what it is so we can have a little bit of playtime before our check-in time is over to keep them happy and enriched!
About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel
“Thanks Leah for taking such good care of Charlie! He seems to have enjoyed your company. I appreciate your offer of an extra visit after he threw up and also that you cleaned it up. Lol! I’ll be I touch again.”
“James was absolutely amazing!!! Took great care of my senior cat Vino who has asthma. I can't recommend James enough! I felt such relief and comfort knowing Vino was in good hands while I was traveling.”
“Sierra was absolutely amazing! She was available last minute and took such great care of my dog Bonnie. My puppy can be hyper, and very needy, Sierra handled her beautifully. Extensive walks, treats, play time, feeding time and lots of belly rubs! I will 100% hire her again!!!”
“Andrew kept communication daily with photos and updates. He was attentive and actually related with our two cats. They were at ease and well cared for. They were brushed and fed and came back happy and calm. We Highly recommend Andrew!”
“Adara was absolutely wonderful with Javi and Tamale! From the start, it was clear she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care — she was attentive, gentle, and really listened to everything I shared about their needs and routines. The regular updates she sent gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, which says everything. We will 100% be booking with Adara again — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pets like her own!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Heights
Alexis is clearly an animal lover! She knew just how to make my kitty Koko feel loved and well taken care of. She sent me lots of updates and even took pictures of our automatic feeder so I wouldn’t worry about it not working while we were away. If you want excellent service and great communication I would highly recommend Alexis! Koko agrees :))
So fantastic to have Erin able to provide TWICE DAILY insulin medication and playful care of our older diabetic cat Midnight. All the cute photo updates kept us connected to our beloved kitty. We also really appreciated Erin's close attention to learning about Midnight's special needs in advance. Thanks again to Erin!!!
Catherine took good care of my bunnies while I was on a trip. She put good attention to their care and made sure they were eating well and comfortable!! She also communicated very clearly and promptly which made me feel at ease that they were in good hands. Thank you Catherine!!
We had such a wonderful experience with Jaina! She truly went above and beyond taking care of Noah and Mary while we were away. We received daily pictures and updates, which gave us a peace of mind. Communication was also quick and reassuring. We are extremely grateful! Highly recommend!
Emony was a lifesaver! I had a nine day trip ahead of me and needed to find someone to care for my cat, Peaches. He’s the sweetest cat in the world, but is very shy with people he doesn’t know and will curl up in the boxspring of my bed until they’re gone. So I was very worried about hiring a stranger. I took one look at Emony’s picture and knew she’d be perfect. When she came over to learn the ropes, she was as sweet and as kind as she looked and low and behold, it didn’t take long for him to come out and meet her! This alone was rather miraculous, but over the time she cared for him he let her pet and even brush him! She was absolutely fantastic and from now on, she’ll be his forever sitter. If you’re looking for a kind and thoughtful person to care for your pet while you’re away, I highly recommend Emony.

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.

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 .
