“Needed a cat sitter while I was away getting married and on honeymoon and Mary was great helping us keeping cats hydrated with clean litter. It was a nice surprise to find a flower arrangement from her once I came back home! 😁”

“Juliana was very sweet with both of my cats. She is very responsive and helpful, and was able to establish rapport with both pets, even with the one that is extremely shy.”


“Kerry has saved me multiple times now with last minute bookings and I always love the pictures she sends over of the cats during her visits. 10/10 Would recommend booking with Kerry!”

About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and chickens. While I'm comfortable with animals of all sizes, I'm most experienced with large dogs, and have no problem managing pups who weigh well over a hundred pounds. I also have experience training puppies, and am currently learning the basics of canine massage. Around me, your fur baby will always be happy, well-loved, and protected! I'm currently unemployed outside of pet-sitting and dog walking, so my schedule is generally pretty open. Most of my availability is in the morning and early afternoon, but I'm quite flexible as it relates to scheduling. Please let me know if you require my services outside of my typical hours, and I'll be happy to try and accommodate you! When taking clients on walks, I'm careful to ensure their safety and comfort. I often bring booties with me to protect their feet on hot days, and make sure I'm stocked up on water and pet parent-compliant treats before embarking on walks. While walking, I let dogs sniff around as much as they like, and provide a gentle guiding hand and a vigilant eye to protect them from harm. Before I leave, I check to make sure all entrances are locked in order to maintain the safety of my clients and their home.

About: Hello, my name is Elise! Both my grandmother and my mom have been part of the dog sitting business for as long as I can remember. We also have pets of our own, so I have been around animals all of my life. It has genuinely become a passion of mine as I began to help my family from an early age with every pup that has entered into our care, up until now as an adult. This, in turn, came with learning about different dog breeds, their behavior, and body language. With all of that in mind, I can guarantee you that your pet will be in safe hands and well taken care of. You will also receive photos of every interaction so you can see how happy your fur baby is. I am currently working part-time. Thankfully, I have a steady schedule that will allow me to provide time to meet you and your fur baby. I have a lot of backyard space that pets enjoy. My family and I also spend a lot of time outside in our garden, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time. As far as going to a client's home, I'd make sure ask about rover notes and texts regarding instructions while following up with pictures of their pup along with pictures of the finished tasks.
About: I fell in love with dogs since the age of 4 after being terrified from my first encounter. But after a few more curiosity approaches, I went from being afraid to loving every dog I came across from walks and loving every dog I came across even on the roads. No matted fur or patches will stop me from giving it affection (ask my girlfriend about the dogs I pet on our trips lol) Any moods the fur baby gives I try to match so we both can say (or bark) “yeah this was a great day…now what about treats!” Tend to every need I can, have bathed my own fur baby but no experience with nail trimming (not forcing to do something they don’t like) and always love seeing that wide smiles either from play or from my belly scratches! Working full time so will really be available on every other weekend with some days in the week. Just message me and I’ll let you know my availability! Never want to miss meeting another fur-ones! Constant monitor when at play in case someone decides to eat something they had no business. Will always check area for random loose trash that might look to appetizing for the fur baby. We’re not getting no upset tummies in this (or your) household!
About: I've been volunteering at an animal refuge for almost a year as a dog walker. I currently own cats, dogs, and ferrets; I always make sure to keep up with vet visits to make sure they are healthy and safe. Striving for a career in veterinary! Constantly learning and researching to care for animals to the best of my ability. I will ensure to care for your fur babies as if they were my own! I’m currently on summer break from college and working part time. Im available most week day and Saturday afternoons and evenings and any time on Sunday’s! I have different pets such as; dogs, cats and ferrets, all friendly who would love to keep your fur babies company. I will ensure your pup is comfortable, my ferrets usually reside in my room so no need to worry about them if it's a problem!
About: I’ve always loved and have always had animals my whole life. I just love animals and nature overall and most animals love me right back! :) I grew up with my first dog from age 1-5 then I’ve had a bunch of aquatic animals, chickens, bunnies, ducks, turtles, even more dogs and recently had my first cat! I’ve taken care of friends and family pets as well and we always have a great time. I recently moved from Hawaii to TN and I’d love to care for someone else’s fur baby in the meantime. I now have a pet cat that I adopted in Hawaii🥰 He stays in my room for the most part because he still doesn’t rest like venturing around the rest of the house, so he won’t be in the way if I have other animals over. I currently work from home and can give all my time to pet care if need be. I’m used to taking care of animals of all ages and different breeds, so I can cater to pretty much whatever your fur baby will need. ***HAS MILITARY BASE ACCESS*** I live in a townhouse where there’s lots of space for walks & exploring. I have a small fenced in patio that they can play in or we can go for a walk around the neighborhood. There’s a really big open area that I love walking around where no one else really goes so it would be nice for animals to walk around there. Other than that your baby will be inside of the house, there’s a bunch of space so they can pretty much go wherever until it’s time for a walk. I also have space for crates if need be.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and empathy I bring to every pet I look after. As a pet parent myself, I understand that pets are family—not just animals. Recently, I experienced the loss of my own beloved fur baby, which deepened my appreciation for the trust pet owners place in someone caring for their pets. That experience reinforced how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs, whether that means extra playtime, a slower pace for a senior pet, or simply providing companionship and reassurance. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Pet parents can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their pet is receiving genuine care and attention. My goal is not just to watch your pet—it's to make them feel cared for, understood, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a structured schedule that allows me to plan dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so providing consistent care, attention, and updates to pet parents is something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it's maintaining a pet's regular routine, administering medications if needed, or simply providing extra affection and exercise, I make sure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is respected, so I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, preferences, and any special instructions. In both my home and a client's home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible through regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they're away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I monitor pets closely, ensure they have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and opportunities for play and enrichment throughout the day. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands.

About: I’m a 20-year-old outgoing and attentive pet sitter with hands-on experience working at PetSmart. There, I learned how to properly care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including feeding, handling, and recognizing their needs. Outside of work, I’ve also helped care for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I’m great at following instructions and keeping routines consistent, whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog that needs extra care. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to provide the best care possible.” I currently have open availability, which allows me to give your pet plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding on both weekdays and weekends. Because of my flexible schedule, I can stick closely to your pet’s routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care they may need. I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of supervision. I have a fenced yard for playtime and friendly dogs to keep your pet company if they enjoy socializing. I always monitor interactions closely and can separate or crate pets if needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities

About: Hey my name is Brionna short for Brii and I love animals especially dogs and cats. I've taken care of a lot of animals over the course of 10 years I got my first dog from a breeding kennel when I was 10. He was a Yorkie Yorkshire and his name was Midnight. And I can tell you he was the best dog you could ever ask for. He was there for me through thick and thin, I actually lost him around my birthday in January 2 years ago and it broke my heart so much. I nursed him when he got really sick from his blood sugar being to low because he was the smaller one of his siblings but I loved him all just the same. I currently volunteer at an animal shelter where I help care for dogs and cats with different personalities and energy levels, including the shy anddd the anxious. Animals have always had a soft place in my heart so whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, medication reminders, or just someone calm and caring around while you’re away, I’d love to help. I’m comfortable with cats, small dogs, large dogs, and high-energy pets. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine naturally because I already care for animals in my home and through volunteering. Each day, I’m responsible for my cat Domino, making sure he’s fed, groomed, exercised, and given attention and care throughout the day. I also care for my husky, Ice, who keeps me active with daily walks, playtime, and structured routine. On a weekly basis, I volunteer at the Fulton County Animal Services (Lifeline Project), where I help care for and socialize cats with different personalities and needs. Because animals are already a big part of my everyday life, I’m very consistent, attentive, and comfortable fitting pet care into my schedule reliably. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and calm, especially in new environments or when they are anxious. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean while making sure the pet is well cared for and comfortable. I also like to provide hourly update’s and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and happy.

About: I have experience caring for others and personal dogs, cats, and other household pets and I am great with giving them plenty of attention. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the week to care for pets. So I am available for walks, feeding, play, and general pet care. Pet safety and well-being are my top priorities. I’ll follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requests. I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention. I also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riverdale
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.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
