“I had no hesitation leaving our home and four legged babies in the care of Angela. She is truly a blessing as I have never felt this assured for some time. She is incredible and I look forward to connecting with her again...and so do my babies.”
About: I’ve been helping take care of the pets of friends and family since I was in middle school. I mainly specialize in dog, cat, and rodent care. For the past 7 years I’ve worked in positions helping to care for animals in research settings, mainly rodents, rabbits, and pigs. However my biggest love is caring for our furry and not so furry pets at home. I’m a big proponent of animal welfare and always look to ensure any critter under my care has all it needs to live a healthy, fulfilled life. I currently work M-F 7-3:30. I am able to do afternoon/evening walks or house drop/ins if need be. I am free most weekends as well for walks or drop-ins or if necessary overnight care. I’m a big proponent of animal welfare. I always want to see pets and all animals really live long, healthy lives. I’m willing to follow any guidelines a pet owner has regarding their pet(s) and will always be respectful of an owner’s wishes. If I were to stay in a client’s home for an overnight visit I would be respectful of the client’s space and would be as neat and tidy with my stay there as possible.
About: I have done pet sitting for friends and I’ve enjoyed it a lot! I love to care for dogs and cats. I also taught my own cats to sit and speak! My family had two dogs when I was younger that I would help care for and take on walks. I’ve also done overnight care for a dog who was blind and very old. I have a lot of time to care for all of your animals! My schedule is not very full these days, aside from feeding time and litter box cleaning! I do a great job at following instructions given, and paying attention to my actions and surroundings to make sure pets don’t get ahold of things they shouldn’t. I can also do some training and behavior correction.
“David was awesome. He took great care of our cats. He sent lots of pics and sent us daily updates. It was a relief knowing our cats were well taken care of by fellow animal lover. Will definitely use again”
About: I have had many different breeds of dogs including terriers, pinschers, and my current dog Lulu the chihuahua. I am very patient with senior dogs. I have 2 dogs (a chihuahua and a chowchow puppy) and 1 cat. Working on training the puppy currently. My cat has FIV and has health problems from it. I am experienced in handling senior dogs and dogs that may need special attention. My dog is my best friend and not just my pet. I am always gentle and understanding with her. I am always attentive to her needs.
“We’ve used Brittany for both house sitting and drop in visits, and she’s been wonderful with caring for our pup! I love the photo updates and can tell my dog loves her!”
“Erin was amazing! She was super responsive, bonded immediately with our two cats, and also kept an eye on our home... even shoveling our driveway while we were away. Would definitely recommend!”
“We are so happy to have had Shurie come by to visit with our cats this weekend. So nice to be able to get away and know that your family is in good hands. We so appreciate Shurie!! She is so nice, and the cats loved her. Thank you so much Shurie, we thank you very, very much!!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for over 15 years now with experience with any age or size of dog. I am very flexible with your or your pets needs. I offer all services available. I am home full time so I am able to be with your dog and provide potty and play breaks several times during the day. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company! I am home full time so your dog will never be alone.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rochester
Joanna was amazing with Prince as always! I was able to go out of the country for a week without any worries because I knew Joanna was taking such great care of Prince. Really appreciate the time she takes to take adorable photos of Prince and write thoughtful and hilarious updates on his daily adventures. Thank you so much Joanna!
Matt did a great job taking care of our two cats, Luni and CJ, while we were away! He came over a couple of days beforehand to meet them and was also wonderful with our dogs. Matt was dependable, caring, and communicative, and he even brought in our mail and packages. We really appreciated his help and would definitely have him watch our cats again.
Anna was a great pet sitter! She was also incredibly flexible, I accidentally booked the wrong dates (I put May instead of April), and she kindly accommodated the change without any issues. Most importantly, she got along really well with my cat, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her!
Caroline was fantastic. She was dependable and when our Roomba unexpectedly moved our cat steps to their food, she let us know and put the steps back so our kids were still able to easily get to their food and water. She was kind and loving to our two cats each time she came. We highly recommend her!

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. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
