About: With over 20 years of experience, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve been around dogs since I was 7 years old, starting with family pets and eventually helping neighbors with their dogs throughout middle school and into adulthood. Even today, I still help friends and neighbors care for their dogs and cats regularly. I also had the opportunity to care for my own cat for 4 years, which gave me a strong understanding of feline personalities, routines, and comfort needs as well. After taking some time away in 2025 due to family circumstances, I’m excited to be back in 2026 doing something I genuinely enjoy, providing pets with a safe, loving, and fun environment where they feel at home. I currently work Full-Time from home - So I am always present, and able to keep your pet on a nice schedule regarding food, play-time, and potty breaks. I'm available Monday-Sunday anytime that works best for you My home features a downstairs area where pets can roam freely. Also my development offers plenty of walking space. Plus, there are many parks nearby that provide a great spot for your pets to enjoy some running time with my family and me.
About: I’ve been pet sitting, including overnights at clients' homes, for over six years. I genuinely love getting to know animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, gerbils, and even bearded dragons! I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and those who need a little extra patience, including blind pets and those who sometimes have accidents. I always strive to keep my clients' fur babes happy and relaxed so that they feel safe while their parents are away. I also include watering plants and mail fetching in my services. If desired, we can chat about house cleaning rates, too. Thank you for considering me! I work full time but am available to check in on pets in the morning, at lunch, and after work, including overnight stays. When I accept a job, I make pet sitting my first priority! I am happy to flex my work schedule to ensure you receive the best care for your pets and home. It is my absolute priority to create a safe, calm, and familiar environment for every pet that I care for. I am a stickler for following instructions, and even prefer a detailed list of feeding schedules, medication needs, routines, and any behaviors or triggers that may help me with your pet(s). I am detail oriented (which helps in my full-time job, too!), paying strict attention to locking doors and gates, setting alarms, and keeping spaces clear for my furry friends. I also monitor pet behavior and their bodies for any changes that may warrant contacting you. My ultimate goal is your peace of mind.
“1,000% recomend Sam! This was my first time using this app. So I was a little apprehensive. I was leaving for a week and needed someone to watch my three cats.. my fur babies. As soon as I met Sam, I knew I chose the right person. She was warm great personality, big smile! I went away for a week, and Sam was on point checked in with pictures and updates every visit. By the third visit, my cats had warmed up to her and allowed her to pet them which warmed my heart! I felt so happy that I found a pet care giver, who could make my pets, feel safe, warm, and loved! thank you so much, Sam! I’ll be using you real soon again! 😀🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛”

“Davene is a wonderful cat sitter! She just took care of my three kitties over Thanksgiving. I appreciated how quick she was to respond to my request and her offer of an initial visit to meet the cats and get our instructions in person. She was very gentle and sweet with the kitties, and I could tell that they really liked her. Davene followed all instructions and left the place neat and clean. I highly recommend her and look forward to booking with her again.”

About: Over the years I've cared for the pets of family friends and relatives. From taking pups on walks & play session to drop ins for cats. Making sure I'm following dietary need for each pet. Getting to know the different personalities of each animal I come across is my passion. In my childhood home I was able to experience caring for puppies until they became elderly. Though most of my experience is with pits. I was blessed to care for a doodle mix & a shih Tzu in their last years. I respect all animals and their space. I currently work full-time 3 days a week with 4 day available to care for your furbabies. Saturday- Monday is my work schedule. Tuesday-Friday I am up by 7am cleaning my home or visiting my parents. By 12pm the rest of my day is free. I can do evening drop ins (after 5pm) or overnight stays on the days I work (leave by 4am). Am very flexible during the week. If you're in need of a sitter/ care giver for family or business trips. In my home or the client's home I will follow the set schedule the clients have for their pets. My home has a fenced in backyard where I can take elderly or less fit pups to play and potty. I also live in a dog friendly neighborhood where I can take your pup on walks. I do require a harness and leash set per pet with a portable water bowl to keep them hydrated on walks. A breakdown of allergies or sensitivities each pet has. As well as a bed or crate for them to sleep in overnight. At the client's house I would like to do a walk through of the property and learn the habits of their pet. This will give me an understanding of how to properly care for each individual pet in and outside of the home.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have always helped out taking care of my friend’s cats and dogs. When it comes to taking full care of other people’s pets I’ve done a couple of pet sitting jobs in the past year or so. While home from college I have free time almost everyday for most of the day! While I may need to go home to check on my own pets or family I can usually spend most of the day with your pets. I’m a bit of a night owl so morning can be rough but I thrive in the late morning and afternoon! I can’t have pets come over to my house because of my cats, but when at your house I can always be there for your animal! Whether they are playing or just want company while lounging at home!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and have experience with breeds of all sizes and personalities—from Chihuahuas and Maltese to Huskies and Pit Bulls. As a proud Pit Bull owner, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and treating every dog as an individual. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets over the years, and I always treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to provide safe, loving, and reliable care while making sure every pup feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for. As a stay-at-home mom and lifelong dog lover, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, potty break, exercise, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and giving them the love and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll always respect your home, ensure leashes and harnesses are properly secured, provide fresh water, and send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

But I’m still flexible enough to fit an animal or two in! I will play and take care of your pet as if it’s my own! I will stick to regular routines (if i’m told there’s any) and will try my hardest to keep them happy!

Miranda is awesome! She was able to fit me in for a last minute booking which I really appreciated. Over the four day booking, she earned the trust and affection of two cats. I am absolutely amazed because these cats are notoriously quite spicy 😂 She also administered daily medicine and sent many pics each day. You can trust Miranda to make your time away from your furry children stress free - highly 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
