About: I’ve been caring for animals from a small child. Many people have called me the Animal Whisperer because the connection I have with animals and many experiences with animals in my lifetime. Our family of three children has owned many dogs and cats giving me experience with pets of different personalities, needs, and routines. I understand that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. Whether it’s going for a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship. I’ll treat your pet with the same love, attention, and respect I’d give my own. I’m a retired IT professional with over 45 years of customer service experience, which gives me the flexibility to work around your pet’s schedule and not the other way around. I’m dependable, punctual, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. In my free time, I love pickleball, walking, hiking, biking, whitewater rafting, music DJ, and volunteering in my community. An active lifestyle makes me a great companion for energetic pets, while my calm, patient nature helps shy or senior pets feel comfortable. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with a caring companion, I’ll provide the attention, affection, and reliable care they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, medications (if needed), walks, litter box or yard cleanup, and playtime. I also understand that many pets simply enjoy companionship, so I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance while you’re away. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. Throughout each visit or stay, I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Jeff was awesome! Gus was very happy when we got home, which means he had a great day. Jeff was easy to schedule with, responsive and communicative. He even brought in our packages from the porch. We will be hiring him again!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember! Over the decades, I’ve had experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, goats, and just about every other furry friend you can imagine. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, from playful puppies and curious kittens to beloved senior pets who need a little extra patience, attention, and care. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes pet care a natural fit into my daily routine. Because I have the flexibility to structure my day, I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and companionship on their schedule. My top priorities when caring for pets in a client’s home are safety, trust, and keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I take the time to follow each pet’s specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, potty breaks, walks, and any special routines or preferences. I’m respectful of your home and make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape routes are secure before I leave. I want both you and your pets to feel comfortable knowing they’re in a safe, familiar environment with someone who genuinely cares about them. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs of various breeds since I was a small child. Family, friends and acquaintances have trusted me to pet sit, walk, and play with their fur babies on multiple occasions over the years. I'm currently a stay at home parent with a very flexible schedule. I miss having pets of my own and would love to care for yours! I would be happy to care for your pets! I would take care of your fur babies as if they were my own. I will be respectful of your home keeping it clean and tidy, while making sure your pets have all the exercise, attention, and snuggles they need so you can enjoy your getaway or have peace of mind while you're at work.
“Briana was very gracious to accept a sitting schedule last min when a work event popped up suddenly. She took great care of my cat Lacey and let me know if any behavioral changes. It gave me peace of mind to know she was well attended to!”
“Kayla was 🤩 AMAZING! She took such good care of our kitty Steele and sent updates and lots of photos. We were able to enjoy our vacation with no worries at all. She really went above and beyond. We appreciated her so much and will use again without a doubt .”
“Carolyn did so well with our sweet boy! She was very communicative, paid attention to the details, and gave him lots of love 💙 We highly recommend her and will definitely be using her for future trips!”
“Sydney did a great job and clearly my pup enjoyed spending time with her based on the pictures provided! I could tell he was very happy and she provided a great presence for him! I will definitely plan to use her in the future when I need a sitter or a drop-in visit again! Thank you so much Sydney for the great work 😊”
“Kaylee was great! She is very communicative and respectful! My one fur baby was obsessed with her! My other one warms up slowly so she hid most of the time, but Kaylee was patient and let her have her space which I appreciated!!”
“Excellent! Communication was great, and I always felt confident that my dogs were getting the attention and care they needed. He went above and beyond by even fixing my door handle while I was away. I came home to happy dogs. I highly recommend him and will definitely book with him again!”
“Alexandra is Wonderful! She took good care of my 2 kitties and I enjoyed getting her reports and pictures everyday. Knowing they were looked after in such a loving way put my mind at ease while on vacation. Not only did she feed them, she inspected around the house for any accidents they may have had. I hope she will be available to call upon in the future.”
“Chase is amazing!!! My pups enjoy having him around and we sure are blessed to be able to count on him, even during last minute hiccups where we just need him to check on the dogs”
“Olha it’s been amazing with my 18.5 yr. old and 11 year old cats. One has chronic kidney disease and the other has IBD and both require medication and special food. I’ve had cat sitters for years as I am a flight attendant and travel often and she is really the first one who is able to administer medication easily. On the very first day, both cats allowed her to pet them, which is not usual for my senior cat so having her take care of my boys has been a stress relief. She truly takes her time to allow my cats to warm up to her and to feel comfortable around her. I highly recommend Olha for your fur babies!”
“First rover in our new city, and I couldn’t have asked for someone better. Shakoya was prompt and extremely communicative. I felt at ease leaving my fur babies behind. Will be a repeat client for sure!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Riverview
I had a wonderful experience with Mary! She took great care of my babies. She communicated clearly any time there were questions. One of my cats is aggressive and doesn’t like new people. She was the total opposite with Mary! They quickly became friends!! Because of that, I will definitely be rebooking for my next vacation!

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.
