About: Ive always been a lover of animals and my family and I have rescued multiple cats and dogs since I was little. Ive learned how to take care of even pregnant cats. I usually wake up around 8 am to feed my cats and clean their litter boxes at around 10 am. I come back at around 12 pm for a little snack and by 8 pm they have dinner and I clean the litter box for the second time. I keep a clean environment so that my cats are able to roam freely and I dont have to worry about them getting sick. Cats can get bored as well so I play with them and even talk with them.

I have plenty experience with elderly animals and pets with health concerns. Anything else you'd like to know I'd be happy to answer any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of spare time to spend with your baby! I am usually naturally an early riser and a bit of a night owl so I am prepared for lots of different schedules and routines. I follow each animals' schedule to the T if possible. As well as providing treats and enrichment throughout the entire visit! I also make sure to give them lots of attention and accommodate any sleeping arrangements your animals are used to.

Weekends are on the busier side but let me know a week and a half in advance and I can make the time Being an artist I am very much about the details, I love to know your pets eating routines/schedule, medication(if applicable), how long of a walk to go for, their favorite toy, and type of play.

“Serinette was AMAZING! She took excellent care of my girls during their stay with her. She kept me updated throughout with lots of videos and pictures. I can tell my kittens were well taken care of and received lots of love from Serinette and her family! I hope to book again in the future!”
About: I’ve watched young puppies to older puppies and cat and treated every animal with love and respect so they feel safe, seen, and cared for. I work online so my daily work is flexible. I can work anywhere and adapt my schedule to spend time with pets throughout the day. I am great at following or creating helpful routines or help the animals feel safe and access food,water, play, sleep, walks, and fun outside activities.
“Saadiqa took care if my two kitties for week. One of our cats has diabetes and asthma, so she needs 2 injections a day and an inhaler. It is no small task. Saadiqa did well and was in contact with me for any questions around this care. I appreciate the communication and the time she spent to attend to the kitties. It was also great to know she was there living there with them.”
About: I've been petting sitting/walking for at least the last 5 years. I have a lot of experience walking big dogs and giving medicine. I have also assisted in training here and there with some dogs. Im currently working on call, so I have lots of free time that I would love to spend walking dogs or pet sitting just for the day or even multiple days. Brutus is a shy fiv cat he typically doesn't like to be around other animals at first. When I visit a home I love to spend time playing with the pets and giving them a treat or two to build trust.
“Amazing experience. He sent me updated pictures of my girl the entire time I was out of town. She was very happy with him and warmed up almost immediately. I would definitely book with Triston again. 10/10”
“Anisha was so friendly, detail-oriented, and very attentive to her care of our cat, Cornelius. It's nice to be put at-ease while you're on holiday knowing your pet is receiving great care. Thank you, Anisha!”
“My dogs love Noah! You can see how much fun they’re having from the frame worthy photos he takes. He even brought them a toy! He’s easy to communicate with and flexible with availability. So happy to have found him.”
About: I’m really observant and pick up on pets’ moods and behavior quickly, which helps me adjust to what they need whether that’s play, space, or extra attention. I’m patient with shy or energetic pets, comfortable with routines like feeding and walks, and I focus on keeping them calm, safe, and genuinely comfortable while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible and consistent schedule for pet care throughout the day. I also have pets of my own, so feeding, cleaning, playtime, and routines are already a regular part of my daily life.🤎 I prioritize pet safety by staying attentive, following routines closely, and keeping a clean, secure environment so pets feel comfortable, protected, and well cared for at all times.🤎
“Lorien is awesome! She did daily drop-in visits for my pup, and he absolutely loved her. She’s caring, communicative, and took great care of my boy while I was at the office (always took great photos too). Highly recommend!”
About: Over the past 8 years, I’ve not only become a dog owner who has learned to work with a pup who is anxious and leash reactive, but I’ve also helped friends and family take care of their dogs and cats in times they needed. I’ve worked with dogs who needed to have different prescriptions administered as well as assisted my dog in recovery from an intensive leg surgery. I currently work at night part-time, so my days are filled with time to provide for your pet! I can allot up to a few hours as needed. I will make sure to proceed with any protocol you set. If there’s a standard leash practice or yard practice you prefer, I will make sure to accommodate accordingly. I want to always work hand in hand with the pet owner
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for animals and the care, patience, and attention I give each one. I believe pets are family, and I want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and understood. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, respecting their routines, and making sure they receive the attention and affection they deserve. I have experience working with Rover, and I understand the importance of being dependable, communicating with pet parents, and treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether caring for an energetic puppy, helping a senior pet feel comfortable, or giving a shy animal time to warm up to me, I approach every experience with compassion and a willingness to learn. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while making sure their furry family members feel happy, loved, and well cared for. I currently work a morning job with a hybrid schedule, which gives me some flexibility throughout the week. My afternoons and evenings are generally pretty open, making it easier for me to schedule pet care, walks, drop-ins, and quality time with animals. I enjoy being around animals, so pet sitting is something I would love to incorporate into my routine. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents ahead of time to coordinate schedules and make sure their pets receive consistent, attentive, and loving care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions provided by their owner. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and patience while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their fur babies in someone else’s care, so I believe in providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to treat every pet with the same love and consideration I would give my own while keeping their environment clean, safe, and stress-free.
“Can not recommend Jayla enough! She was perfect with our kitty who is very affectionate and needs some extra attention. Jayla answered every message very quickly and proactively let me know how things were going, she left the house clean and organized, and Minnie was so happy and loved when I came back. Will definitely be using Jayla again (and again and again) Thank you so so much for everything!!!!”
About: My family has always had animals of all kinds, especially cats and dogs. I currently have two cats! I grew up walking dogs as well. I am a grad student so I have a flexible work schedule! I can make most times work inclurong daytime, evening, and weekend slots. If you don’t see something that works, message me and we can figure something out! I will be happy to drop in on your pets and keep them company, take them for walks, whatever is needed. I cannot board in my own home though!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Riverdale
kerry has been helping me out for a few months now and i can’t say enough. she is always ready to take care of my three cats and even helps out with my fish when i need it. she never complains and is a great communicator. she also sends me a photo of each cat every visit, and yeah 5 stars she rules. thanks kerry!!
Kerry did an amazing job caring for my girls. From the pictures and updates she sent, I could tell they felt comfortable and trusted her. I truly appreciate the care, attention, and support she provided while I was out of town. As a first-time mom navigating postpartum, being away from them was difficult, and Kerry went above and beyond to reassure me. Whenever I felt nervous or anxious, she made sure I knew they were doing well. She even sent me a video of my dog when I shared concerns that she might be missing me, which meant so much. Kerry made me feel completely comfortable and confident in her ability to care for my girls. She also captured some amazing group pictures that I will cherish. I highly recommend booking with her she is thoughtful, caring, and truly wonderful at what she does.

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.
