About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and understand that pets are family. I provide dependable, attentive care so you can travel with confidence, knowing your pets and home are in good hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, and other household pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, a consistent routine, or simply companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I’m patient with senior pets, attentive to medication schedules and special instructions, and committed to maintaining the routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable. In addition to pet care, I take pride in keeping a clean, secure, and well-maintained home. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your property. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you always know how your pets are doing. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and treating your pets and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I work a four-day week, with two days working remotely and two days in the office, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive, dependable care. On my remote workdays, I’m home throughout the day for companionship, walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks. On office days, I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive the care and attention they need before and after work. My evenings and weekends are generally open, allowing me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting, house sitting, overnight stays, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. Safety, security, and your pet’s well-being are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or providing drop-in visits, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and household routines. I ensure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and outdoor time, and maintain a clean, safe environment at all times. I also understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect, keep everything tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, water plants, and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets and home are being cared for with the same attention and respect I would give my own.
“I can't recommend Dianne enough! My cat, Peanut, is extremely shy and anxious around people, but she made her feel completely comfortable and cared for. It was clear that Dianne has a genuine love for animals and knows how to approach even the most nervous pets with patience and kindness. I felt confident leaving my Turkish Van cat in her care and will absolutely be booking again!”

About: My Pet Care Experience 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life. I was raised around smaller dogs, so that’s what I grew up knowing first. As I got older, I started being around bigger breeds too, and over time I got just as comfortable with them. I’ve also grown up around horses, fish, rabbits, and different kinds of animals, so being around animals has always felt natural to me. A lot of what I know about dogs comes from actually growing up with them—seeing their different personalities, learning their routines, understanding when they want attention and when they need their space, and learning how much they rely on the people taking care of them. I’ve gotten to experience the fun parts of raising animals, but I’ve also experienced what it’s like to lose one. Going through that made me realize even more how much these animals become a part of your life. Because of that, when I take care of someone’s pet, I don’t look at them as just another dog I’m watching. I think about how I would want my own pets to be treated if I wasn’t there. I want them to feel comfortable with me, keep their normal routine, and have someone around who genuinely enjoys being with them. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m able to plan my schedule around my clients’ needs and make sure I have enough time to provide each pet with consistent, attentive care. I’m dependable, organized, and flexible with scheduling. I prioritize keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and cared for. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions, respect their space, and keep their pets’ routines consistent. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs while providing a calm, loving environment.
About: Hi, I’m Jada! 🐾 I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have a deep, natural understanding of feline behavior. I don't just provide the basics; I pay close attention to subtle body language and moods so I can give your cat the exact care, comfort, and space they actually need. Why choose me:Attentive Environment: I live in a cozy one-bedroom apartment, meaning your cat is always nearby and receives constant, direct supervision. Low-Stress & Peaceful: My own sweet, independent cat ensures a calm, harmonious household for visitors. Gentle, Animal-Loving Home: My well-behaved children are with me part of the week and have been taught to respect, protect, and be incredibly gentle with animals. Whether it's an interactive play session, regular drop-in visits, or just quiet companionship, I treat every single pet in my care like my own family. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! I work a flexible part-time schedule, giving me plenty of open windows during weekdays and weekends to prioritize your pets. Whether it is an energetic dog walk or a focused drop-in visit, I structure my routine around consistency. I know both dogs and cats thrive on a predictable schedule, so I make sure to always arrive right on time. I live in a one-bedroom apartment, so I’m always close by and can easily keep an eye on your cat throughout their stay. My own cat is sweet, independent, and easygoing, so she won’t crowd or stress out a visiting cat. I keep a calm, quiet home with safe spaces for cats to explore or retreat to on their own terms. I follow feeding schedules, litter routines, and any specific instructions closely, and I pay close attention to behavior cues to make sure your cat feels comfortable the whole time.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - River Oaks
Heather is amazing! She has watched our kitties for us a couple of times now and we are grateful to have someone trustworthy when we are out of town. Our kitties are pretty shy, so it has been amazing having someone who can meet our kitties where they are at and create a comfortable environment for them while we are gone. I highly recommend Heather and we will be using her every time moving forward! ⭐️🐾🤩
Taylor Jon was great with my cats he sent pictures and responded to every message. I told him my older cat gets anxious when I leave he made sure to give her extra attention. He cleaned up after them which was nice after traveling. I would book again with Taylor he was great with my cats and my house looked good when I came home.
Adelaide did a WONDERFUL job taking care of my sweet Mila!! She was responsive, communicated proactively and promptly, and sent the cutest pictures of my kitty while I was away. I will 100% be using her again in the future!!! Thank you Adelaide again for taking such good care of girl!!!🤍
Jill was an amazing match for our cats & took such wonderful, loving care of them. The daily updates and photos were timely and thorough. Our “scared” kitty was downright friendly to her because of Jill’s calming nature with animals. Most definitely recommend!
Kenna was great! She was very responsive and even offered a meet and greet to make sure she and my cat got along. She provided pictures and updates after every visit, and I really appreciate her showing up every day to make sure my cat’s food and water were fresh. Reliable and caring — would definitely recommend!

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 .
