About: Grew up on a farm with 20 dogs. I had my own dogs and have cared for family and friends’ dogs and cats for years. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend quality time with pets throughout the day. Whether it’s keeping them company, going for walks, playing or sticking to their routine. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed and plenty of love and attentions. I also respect my clients’ home by keeping them clean, secure, and following all instructions to make sure that both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.
About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, including your not so normal fur friends, like a baby deer, chinchillas, sugar gliders, raccoons, a squirrel and that is where my love of all animals started. My mother would nurse back to health any animal she could and taught me the care and respect animals deserve. I’ve been a professional pet sitter for 15 years and come with a plethora of references. My pet sitting skills also include care for senior pets that require medications, and syringe feeding. I would love to be the one your trust for your fur pets! I do have a full time job. I work 8:30 to 4:30 Mon-Thursday and get off at 12:30 pm on Fridays. I’m off every Saturday and Sunday. I would make sure to feed and let everyone out in the mornings, and come spend the night at your house for the rest of the evening so your beloved pet doesn’t have the stress of being somewhere they don’t recognize, so they can relax and be comfortable at home while you’re away. I take pride in knowing every pet’s unique quirks, whether that be to have to add special human food to their bowl, needing to be hand fed, a special dinner feeding song, or having to act like you’re cooking their food on the stove. I’ve seen them all and I take pride in assuring you your babies will be taken care of with the utmost respect and care you give them yourself. I’m also experienced in giving medications. I do not offer pet care on my own home. My care can include drop ins only if needed, or full overnight care.
About: I have grown up with all types of animals my whole life. I have a deep love and connection with animals. I have one cat right now and I care for a friends giant Schnauzer as needed. I am able to feed your babies and take them for walks or just some fun play time . I work Monday through Thursday 6am-430pm I am available after work and on the weekends. I can do overnight at your home or just come for feeding or walks. I do work in Louisville and I’m there a lot so the distance is no problem. I can have animals overnight at my place but only on the weekends Thursday evening to Sunday evening . My cat has 3 towers for play and many other toys. I clean her box 3/4 times a week, and check food and water daily.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong attention to detail and the level of care and communication I provide. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m experienced with both puppies who need consistency and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, monitoring, or medication. I prioritize clear, ongoing communication by regularly checking in with owners, sending updates and photos, and making sure they feel confident about how their pets are doing. I’m also happy to help with small errands, such as picking up pet supplies or essentials, to make time away as stress-free as possible. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with care and respect. Not scared of dirty work, cleaning litter boxes, wiping paws and administering meds. I currently work from home part time and have a flexible schedule. So I I have a lot of flexibility, for overnights and dropping by during the day. I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, dietary needs, exercise, and daily routines. Care includes providing fresh water, playtime, walks if needed, companionship, and administering medications as directed. I also maintain cleanliness by cleaning litter boxes, cages, and pet areas, and I ensure the home is left tidy and secure after each visit. I prioritize the pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being while providing regular updates to owners for peace of mind.
About: Hi, and thank you for visiting my profile. I have been caring for animals since the age of five and have developed extensive hands-on experience over the years. I currently own and care for a variety of animals, including three horses, two sheep, a dog, three cats, a flying squirrel, and a chinchilla. This diverse background has given me valuable experience in handling pets of all types, sizes, and temperaments. I am confident in my ability to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care to animals of any age or breed. I am also skilled in basic training techniques and can assist with bathing and giving medications as needed. My approach is always patient and respectful, ensuring your pets feel comfortable and safe in my care. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your beloved pets. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or specific needs. I currently work PRN at the hospital, which means I pick up shifts when I want to! My typical hours when I do work are 7pm–7am. I’m also a full-time nursing student, but even with my busy schedule, I always make time for your pets. I don’t offer boarding in my home just yet, but I’m more than happy to come to your home to care for your pets! If you have ANY questions at all, please don’t hesitate to ask — I’m very responsive and always willing to help. Whether I’m house sitting or just stopping by for a check-in, your dog will get plenty of attention and time outside. I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with pets—whether that means playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing with some snuggles. I believe dogs deserve companionship and stimulation, not long hours confined to a crate. When they’re in my care, they’ll stay active, engaged, and loved—chances are they’ll be happily worn out by the time you return!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 570 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rivals. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
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.
