“Amara is so sweet and caring towards the pets! She even spent extra time with our pets, fully without us asking! She even tidied up our space a bit and left the cats a goodbye present. She’s absolutely wonderful and a good choice for all your pet needs!”
About: I am an animal lover! I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of all ages for families and friends for over 25 years. I am most experienced with cats, and currently volunteer weekly with Cat Care at Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control. I also have limited experience caring for livestock, including cows, goats, and pigs. I currently work a part-time job every other weekend (Saturdays and Sundays 3-11pm). I also nanny for a family on Tuesdays 12-4pm and Wednesdays 9am-4pm. I will do my best to be flexible based on your needs! I love spending time with animals, whether that is curling up with a good book and a cat in my lap, playing with toys and watching them have the zoomies, or taking dogs on a walk. I am happy to adapt my services to you and your pet’s needs!
“Anabela was at my house over the holidays and dropped in on my 3 cats twice a day. This was my first experience with Anabela and she was AMAZING!! I have OCD so I am very detailed about everything. She followed my instructions to a tee! She communicated effectively and provided great pictures. My cats loved her and so do I. I highly recommend Anabela for your pets.”
“Holli accommodated a late request to let my puppy out in the morning and afternoon as well as spend an hour at each visit with her. Holli took great care of my puppy! She messaged me updates and pictures.”
“Alicia was wonderful to work with. Gita absolutely loved her and Brad, and staying in their home for 10 days without ever feeling lonely gave me tremendous peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
About: While I have only provided official pet care once, I have gained experience through owning and caring for my own pets since I was a young girl. My family has raised a variety of animals, and we've always had dogs and cats in our home. Over the years, we've owned goats, bunnies, birds, dogs, and cats. My experience comes from caring for my own pets, plus helping out with pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors. I've learned how to handle feeding, grooming, cleaning up after them, and making them feel comfortable and loved. I would love nothing more than to meet your sweet pet and give them all the love and care they deserve whenever you need a reliable, caring caretaker. Weekdays: I’m available Monday through Friday for check-ins, walks, and house-sitting care when needed. Saturdays: I’m available for occasional visits throughout the day to feed, walk, play with, and spend quality time with your pet. I will show all pets love and attention through play and physical touch. As a lover of the outdoors, it is my pleasure to take your pet outside to play and run around with them. For cats, I will show them the attention they need, whether that's gentle petting, brushing, playing with toys, or simply sitting quietly with them so they feel comfortable and secure. I will always respect your home when visiting. I will make sure food and water bowls are fresh, litter boxes are clean, and that pets have a quiet, cozy space to rest when they need it. I promise to treat every pet like my own family member, with patience, kindness, and plenty of love.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats as long as I can remember. Growing up we had multiple animals in our household and also pet sit as needed. I’ve taken care of friends pets whether they just need fed, let out, or just need company for a bit. I am currently available any time during the week. I can walk or even play with any dogs for them to get some energy out during the day I currently have 2 dogs and have a fenced in yard. I take my pups on walks and play with them all the time, whether it be fetch or hide and seek. They get plenty of love and treats and are the most spoiled

About: Growing up my family always had dogs & a cat. I recently graduated from IU with a degree in biology. I’ve been taking care of my sister’s two dogs for about two years now. She relies on me to feed, walk & play with her dogs during the work day. I also have experience taking care of them for extended periods of time while she is out of town. I’m currently working part-time in retail, so I have plenty of time to spend taking care of your pet(s)! I love to take walks and play frisbee/fetch with my sister’s dogs. I cannot watch pets in my home at this time, but I will follow your instructions for taking the best care of your pet(s) in your home.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a child and can’t imagine my life without pets. I’ve got friends and neighbors who rely on me to visit, feed, play and stay for overnights or vacations with their pets. Would love to help others with their pet needs! I’m currently open for clients and their needs whenever needed. I have an open schedule and am ready to work with anyone on helping with their pets. Whether drop in visits or staying over at friends/neighbors houses I follow any guidelines given by the pet owners. I’m very trustworthy and do what I can to ensure the pets stay safe under my care.
About: I'm extremely patient with any dog. I always make sure they fell comfortable around me before I do anything! I am a strong walker! I also know how to make the most out of any time spent with a dog! Pet care is my number one priority for an animal I take care of! I will always make sure that the animal is the top priority when we go anywhere. I always put the dogs safety before my own. I will watch for other dogs and loose animals when we go on walks. When sitting in the past I let the parent know of the times I let the dog out or do anything with the animal. I will send many cute pictures for updates of what is going on!
About: What sets me apart is I have the best interest in your pet! I take pet care seriously and I ensure they are healthy and safe! I do have experience in puppy and dog training.

I can be available for weekdays however I work a job and would not be able to provide care past 7:00 pm. I keep my eyes on my dog and cats. I am careful about not leaving things out they can get ahold of and I am careful about their health as well!
“Logan was great to work with, flexible and patient while listening to my complicated instructions! She was very responsive every time I sent a message. She walked, played with, and cuddled my cat, and kept all 31 houseplants looking great over my extended vacation. Will definitely call her again. Thanks, Logan!”

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
