“Kathryn is: conscientious, kind, considerate, capable, competent, and funny. She took care of my precious babies and I couldn’t have been happier with how happy they were around her. She cared for my apartment like it was her own, and I never worried once about anything while i was away. Thank you, Kathryn, for being amazing and wonderful!”

About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’ve been providing pet care since November of last 2025 and truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. Skills & Experience: Large Dog Handling: Comfortable walking dogs up to 80 lbs with a calm and controlled approach. For safety, I do ask that larger dogs are fully trained and well-behaved on leash. Time Management & Organization: Experienced in caring for multiple dogs at once while making sure each one gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Routine-Based Care: I stick closely to each pet’s routine to help them feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. Reliability & Attention to Detail: I’m dependable and attentive, always paying close attention to a pet’s behavior and needs. Exercise & Engagement: I provide structured 30-minute walks and make sure each visit includes both care and positive interaction. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect; making sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away, and giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently an online student so i have a very flexible schedule! Im available in the mornings, earliest 10am, and the latest at 8pm. I take both pet safety and respect for your home very seriously. I always follow any instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications (if needed), and household preferences. I make sure doors, gates, and entry points are secure at all times, and I’m careful during walks and visits to keep pets safe and under control. In your home, I aim to be as respectful and tidy as possible; cleaning up after pets, keeping their areas neat, and leaving everything just as I found it. I also understand the importance of trust, so I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates so you feel confident while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, calm environment for your pets while also giving you peace of mind knowing your home and pets are being well cared for.
“I cannot recommend Stephanie enough! She took such amazing care of my cat, Aiko, while I was away. From the start, communication was smooth and professional. I received regular updates, and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Aiko can be a bit shy at first, but he clearly warmed up quickly thanks to the patience and care shown by Stephanie. When I returned, everything was spotless and Aiko was relaxed, happy, and well cared for. It’s clear that Stephanie genuinely loves animals and takes her job seriously. I’ll absolutely be booking her again in the future. Thank you for treating Aiko like your own!”

About: Hi! My name is Camila. Ever since I was a little kid I’ve been caring for animals. From saving baby ducks without a mother, rescuing a handicap kitten, to even watching wild lizards hatch from their eggs - I’ve always been in awe of animals. I gained extensive experience during my Veterinary Assistant program in high school. While interning at an Animal Hospital, I learned how to administer medications, bathe dogs, comfort them, and keep their spaces clean. I also learned the importance of reading an animal’s body language and pay attention to their needs. I have been dog sitting/house sitting since 2015. I have cared for big fluffy dogs, small dogs, senior dogs, and plenty of cats. I know that every animal is unique and has different needs. I’ll adjust to your pets lifestyle and make sure they stick to their routine. My passion is for animals, and I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I’m currently available everyday. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and give them the attention they deserve! I currently offer dog walking services, drop in visits, and house sitting in your home. ** disclaimer** House sitting service is your fur babies staying in the comfort of their home, I do not stay overnight in your home. I get there as early as 7am and tend to their personal needs. However, for safety and privacy, I sleep in my bed and make my rounds in the morning. My dog and cat are my children. They sleep with me every night and have different beds for them to sleep in downstairs and upstairs. They each have a basket of toys and my cat even has a cat tower and a cat room where she can relax. If I would sit at a clients home, I would love to chat with you so that I can follow your pets routine. I do believe animals should roam free, so while they are with me, they will be receiving loads of cuddles and play time.

Christine is such a great help. Genuine, reliable, and a person of her word whom always goes the extra mile. Very professional but also like a great friend that you know is doing what they love and her attention to detail is 100% for the true love of her furry clients. I can't say enough great things about Christine. ❤️
My cats feel very safe and comfortable around Carolina. They are usually frightened of other people, but they get along with Carolina very well. Carolina is a good communicator and updated us about the cats daily. She has watched my cats multiple times and I have never had any issues.

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.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
