About: I treat every dog like my own with love, patience, and plenty of playtime. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from tiny toy breeds to large, energetic pups. I’ve also worked with dogs who have special needs, including those requiring medication, mobility support, or extra reassurance. Whether it’s training playful puppies or providing gentle care for seniors, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique personality and routine. You can trust that your pup will feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Working at a pet daycare and owning several pets of different species Im always around animals. Whether it’s for daycare, grooming, training, or even just giving them love. Ive worked with them for a while and have seen and gone throw every situation you could think of so Im not backing down from a challenge. I’ll love these animals like they are my own! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, cozy, and fun environment with plenty of love and attention. I stick closely to their usual routines feeding times, walks, play, and rest to help them feel comfortable and secure. If I’m caring for pets in their own home, I treat your space and your pet’s routine with the same respect and care you would. I keep everything clean, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure your pet gets the companionship, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, cuddle, or quiet company, I’m there to make them feel happy and at ease.
“I had to leave town spur-of- the- moment and was able to secure Priscilla to care for my three indoor cats and one (feral) outdoor cat. She did a fantastic job without having met any of the cats beforehand. I feel like she cared for my cats as I would had i been here. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality pet care.”

“Savannah is the absolute best! We had a last minute need while we were out of town and she dropped everything to help us out! Our pups adore her and she kept us informed of her visits without ever having to ask or wonder how things were going. Responsible. Reliable. Kind. Caring. And very in tune with our pups! An absolute gem!”

“Good job at getting Lucas to trust you. He’s a Covid kitty. Like many pets who were only exposed to their owners during Covid, he does not trust easily. But you continued to work with him. Good work. Thanks for house sitting and feeding Lucas.”

“Janelle was very responsive and took great care of my senior kitty. She followed instructions and provided detailed daily reports and photos which I appreciated. I will definitely be using her services again.”

About: I've been born and raised around animals.I am loving ,attentive, patient, understanding. I love all personalities! I treat all fur babies like they're my own!! I dont have a job right ,just at home taking care of family. I love all animals so seeing cute little faces would brighten my day. I don't have space at home right now, but I am more than willing to come to the clients home ,which I personally feel the fur babies would be more comfortable meeting me in their own environment. I follow house rules and instructions!! I will provide updates if/when requested.
“Emily took such good care of my kitties! Played with them, fed them according to my instructions and even gave my cat her eye drops which is not an easy task! Punctual and responsible.”

About: You're not looking for a pet sitter. You're looking for a second home for your furchild. I get it — leaving your fur baby behind is the hardest part of any trip. That's why I've built the kind of setup I'd want for my own dog, because my chihuahua lives here too, and he has very high standards. Here's what your fur baby's stay actually looks like: 🛏️ Cage-free, always. Your fur baby sleeps in the bed. On the couch. Wherever they're happiest. Zero kennels, zero crates, zero lonely nights. 🏡 A real home, not a facility. Large fenced backyard with security cameras throughout — so I can watch over your fur baby around the clock. 📸 Daily photos + on-demand updates. Want a mid-afternoon "she's napping in a sunbeam" photo? Done. I send updates before you even think to ask. 🚗 Free pickup and drop-off within 20 miles. One less thing to stress about on travel day. 👩⚕️ Small dog specialist. I own a chihuahua and know the medical, dietary, and emotional needs of small breeds inside and out — from temperature sensitivity to feeding schedules to the big personality packed into a tiny body. ⭐ Intimate by design. I only accept 2 guests at a time, so your fur baby always gets personalized attention — never lost in a crowd. ⏰ 24/7 care. I work from home. Your fur baby is never alone. MY PROMISE You'll spend your trip actually relaxing — not refreshing your texts hoping for a sign of life. I'll send you a photo before you even land. SEE IT FOR YOURSELF Not sure yet? Come tour my home before you decide. Meet my chihuahua, see the backyard, and get a real feel for where your fur baby will be staying. I want you walking away with complete confidence — not just hope. Message me to schedule your free home tour today. 🏠 Spots fill up fast around holidays — message me anytime to check availability. No question is too small when it comes to your fur baby. 🐾 I'm home full-time, so caring for your fur baby fits naturally into my day — it's not a side task, it's my lifestyle. I'm with my own chihuahua almost all day, every day, which means any fur baby in my care gets that same level of presence, consistency, and attention around the clock. No rushing home between meetings, no leaving them alone for hours — just a calm, steady routine that keeps your fur baby feeling safe, loved, and right at home. Your fur baby is treated like family from the moment they arrive. There are no cages, no crates, and no isolation — just a warm, welcoming home where they're free to roam, play, and relax just like they would at home. Every fur baby gets my full attention throughout the day. We start with a morning walk, followed by playtime and relaxing in my large fenced backyard. If your fur baby enjoys outings, I can take them to one of two nearby parks — Lenora Park or Alexander Park — for extra exercise and fun. In the evenings, it's wind-down time — cuddles on the couch and a good night's sleep in the bed, never alone in a crate. I follow your fur baby's existing routine as closely as possible — feeding schedules, nap times, medications, and any special needs are all taken seriously and never overlooked. As a chihuahua owner, I'm especially attuned to the needs of small breeds, from temperature sensitivity to portion sizes to reading their mood and body language. Throughout the day I send photo and video updates so you always know how your fur baby is doing — and I'm always available if you want to check in. I only host 2 guests at a time, so your fur baby always gets personalized, one-on-one care — never lost in a crowd.
About: 10+ Years of Passionate Pet Care Animals are my passion, and spending time with them is where I’m happiest! Over the last 10 years, I’ve cared for pets of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Pets I Have Experience With: -Dogs: All ages—from 8-week-old puppies to sweet seniors! -Cats: Playtime, snuggles, and everyday care. -Other Companions: Guinea pigs, fish, chickens, and lizards. I pride myself on giving every animal endless love, personalized attention, and a little extra spoiling so they stay happy and stress-free! I work from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule because of that. I can go to the clients house to check on animals as much as they need me to, or if they are staying at my home, they will be able to be supervised while they go throughout their day playing, napping, etc. I have a fenced in home and I have 1 dog who is very dog friendly. She is spayed and up to date on all her vaccines. In my clients home, I respect any boundaries or rules given. Wherever the client would like me to care for the animals is what I will do. I will treat them as if they are my own animals and make sure they are perfectly comfortable, as well as making sure they always get a good play session in.
About: As an elementary school teacher, patience, consistency, attentiveness, and building trust are a big part of what I do every day. I’m looking to provide pet care as a way to earn some additional income while continuing to do something I genuinely enjoy: helping and supporting others in my community. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pets are safe, cared for, and getting the attention they deserve while you’re away. I’ve been caring for pets for many years through drop-in visits, with experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I typically handle feeding (refreshing food and water), letting dogs out, any necessary clean up, and spending time with pets who simply want some company and attention. Rabbits are a particular specialty of mine. I have nearly a decade of experience caring for rabbits, including elderly rabbits who require more attentive and nuanced care. I understand that rabbits can have very specific routines and needs, and I take the time to follow their care instructions carefully and notice the little things that can make a big difference. I typically am out of out work by 3pm, allowing me plenty of time let in the day to support your pet as needed. While I like to stick to weekdays, weekends are not off the table. I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m attentive to their routines and needs, follow care instructions carefully and make their safety and comfort a priority during every visit. I’ll care for your home respectfully and keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away (with plenty of pictures! :D)
“Cynthia did a wonderful job caring for my Ruth! she’s never warmed up to a sitter so much, great updates as well! we’ll definitely be leaving her in Cynthia’s care again!”

About: Hello, I’m Fern (Magdalen) I love animals, I find them to be the most pure little buddies. I have experience with leash pullers and dog reactive dogs. I have experience with cats with medical needs such as administering pills, ear drops, ointments and syringe feedings. I find that pets respond best when you speak to them like they’re human. I enjoy sticking to routine with pets and I ensure pups get plenty of stimulation! I work Mondays through Thursdays 7am-5:30pm. I work remotely Mondays and Wednesdays. I am available to house sit Fridays-Mondays. I am available for walks Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends. Depending on distance, morning and midday walks are tricky unless I am house sitting. I pay attention to the animal’s needs. I tend to talk to the pet as if they were a person. I find animals respond well to it and it helps establish trust. I enjoy playing with both cats and dogs. Extra enrichment when the owner is away is key to help relieve pent up anxieties. I love long walks with dogs. I am good with routines and adhere closely to the guidelines set by the owner.
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, and birds since I was a child. I've been told that animals really feel safe with me. I currently care for my 8-year-old cat at home and have been a dog sitter many times while families are away. I have also administered medication to cats, calmed anxious animals, and cared for high-energy pets. I love playtime with toys to get the zoomies out! I try my best to maintain the schedule and care of the pet owner to keep the animals in a familiar state. It would be my pleasure to help you with your next pet sit. I work from home and have flexibility in my schedule for feeding, walking, playing, and general care of your pet. I keep your furr-baby happy, fed, clean, and entertained while you are away. I can also send photos and check-in on their care. I do not board in my home because I have a sensitive cat. I can consider overnight stays at your home, if necessary. I always treat pets with the love and care they deserve.
“The best peace of mind is to find a pet sitter who understands both your needs and the needs of your pets while you're away. Dominique has been wonderful in providing care and attention for my cat, Lychee, for extended periods of time without fail and can even convince my shy cat to pose for pictures. With Dominique providing care, you are in great hands.”
About: Growing up I always had cats (5 to be exact) and dogs as I got older. I have three cats of my own since 2025. While I was in Law school I worked part time at a veterinarian clinic alongside my sister who is currently in vet school. I also have been dogsitting for May families since 2022 I do work 8-5 Monday through Thursday but always have time to drop by after work and on weekends! I am usually pretty flexible. My goal when I pet sit is always to give the animal what they need whether it be medication, a walk, or some play time. Top priority is always keeping the pet happy!

I don't have enough words to express how grateful I am to have Christine help us take care of Map when we were away. She gave Map so much love and spent time playing with Map so she didn't feel lonely at home. Christine is definitely our go-to sitter for Map whenever we need to be away ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Eliscia was amazing with our 4 cats. I would highly recommend. She went above and beyond what we asked her to do. The kitties loved her and she loved them! I suggest getting the whole hour so she can play with your cats or dogs. My wife and I will definitely rebook her again next vacation. I can’t recommend enough!

I had an excellent experience and would absolutely book again. My pets are naturally cautious around new people, so I was incredibly impressed by the patience, care, and understanding she showed them. One of my cats is usually the more social of the two, but even he typically takes several visits before he’s comfortable interacting with someone new. To my surprise, he was already coming out and interacting with her by the second day, which is much faster than normal for him. My other cat is much more cautious and prefers to stay hidden. Even so, she took the time to learn his habits and was able to locate him on the first day, which reassured me that he was doing well and adjusting safely while I was away. I appreciated that she respected his boundaries and allowed him the space to be himself rather than trying to force interaction. She was very communicative throughout my trip and provided thoughtful updates that gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that she took the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs rather than treating the visits as simple check-ins. She also took wonderful care of my fish, Marley. It was great to see him comfortable enough to come out and interact with her as well. That attention to detail showed me that she genuinely cared about all of my pets. Most importantly, I felt completely comfortable knowing my pets were in her care while I was away. She treated them with kindness, patience, and respect, and I could tell they felt safe with her. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future.

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.

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 .
