“Valerie is our new go to sitter! She was absolutely amazing and our cats were incredibly well cared for. She was punctual, clean, caring and very thoughtful. She is the BEST!! Thank you Val!!”
“Julia was amazing!! It was the first time we were leaving our babies and for over a week too so we were super nervous but she came over twice before we left and we felt really good about it. The cats liked her too which really eased our fears. She made sure to send updates multiple times a day and with pictures. She kept me updating on how and what they were doing and how much they were eating etc. Excellent communication, very respectful and super nice. We will 100% be booking with her next time we need a sitter!”

About: I have cared for animals the majority of my life. In a personal as well as professional capacity.

I currently have a certificate of completion to be a Veterinary Assistant and am looking forward to continuing my education in animal care. I work full time from home which allows me the freedom to care for my own fur babies without issue. My evenings and weekends leave me open to care for your fur babies! I have a large non-fenced backyard with a 100’ dog lead. I do supervise while my dog is on the lead to ensure their safety.

Whether your pet is big or small, energetic or shy, I’m passionate about providing loving, reliable care and building trust with every furry friend I meet.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Richwood
Christa was phenomenal! Communicated and set expectations right away about realistic time windows to come see our cat Wolf, which I really appreciated. She is kind, warm, and responsible, and above all, gave a lot of love and care to Wolf. She took many great photos of him, which I really need because I miss him when I'm out of town! She was even nice enough to feed the feral cats that make visits in our backyard. Would definitely have her back and highly recommend!!
Britney did a last-minute drop in visit for me when I had to do an emergency overnight stay out-of-state; I'm super grateful that she felt comfortable enough to drop-in on an animal she hadn't yet met! She communicated with me about everything, and sent super cute pics of my cat. This is my first time using Rover (and my first time leaving my cat alone overnight) and I'm so pleased, especially with the service Britney provided! I was so relieved knowing that Valkyrie would be taken care of while I was away. Thank you!

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.

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.
