“First time using Kayla and she was great! Good communication and answers in a timely manner. Took care of our two cats when I went away. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve always had a dog since the moment I was born, and at one point I had six dogs! (3 at moms, 3 at dads). I’ve raised my golden retriever from a puppy, trained an australian shepard, and pet-sat my friends shih tzu every other week. I’ve always been the person in my household responsible for bathing, feeding, and walking the animals. I’ve handled two senior dogs throughout the last few months of their lives, including cleaning up accidents, and i’ve worked with dogs of every size. I’m currently a full time student who only has classes Tuesdays from 11-4 and Thursdays from 11-2:30. I work M/W/F from 9-3. I will not be able to have a potty break within this period, and I work close to uptown. I will not be gone longer then 7 hours at a time. For house sits, I may leave for a little to take care of my own pets or do some drop in visits. For boarding, I live with my boyfriend who works from home and I also have cats in the home. I will ensure that all your pets needs are met. Ill make sure that your animal is happy and healthy, giving them the love and patience they deserve. I will maintain your routine and ensure your pets safety and comfort. In your home, I will make sure that their routine is as similar to your own as possible. I will give them the food, water, and exercise that they require. In my own apartment, I will make sure that your dogs get acclimated to my cats the correct way, or are kept apart. Tell me their typical schedule and I will do within my means to accommodate. I cannot accomodate 7 hour or less potty breaks on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for house sits.
About: I’m a certified Physician Assistant and lifelong animal lover, and I’m excited to spend some extra time caring for your pets while I try to secure my first job as a PA! I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. My family had a cat who we brought home when I was 2 years old and who was part of my family until I was in college. We also had a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and during college I had a Siamese kitten that I shared with my roommates. More recently, I’ve enjoyed dog sitting (& house sitting) with my sister’s Golden Retriever and my best friend’s dog frequently while I was in school. I also watched my friend's kitten over the last year. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay comfortable and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m mainly busy with tasks at home each day while I work toward finding my first job as a PA. Right now, I have very open availability and would love the opportunity to care for your pets while getting a change of scenery and relocating my workspace! I currently plan to provide care in my clients’ homes rather than boarding pets in my own home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, exercise, and crate use. I’m attentive to keeping pets safe and comfortable, and I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape routes are secure. I’ll also treat your home with care and respect while you’re away.
“Sarah helped last minute take care of my fur babies and did an amazing job! She communicated well and gave them all the love which helped give me peace of mind while traveling! Would definitely book her again in the future!”
“Brianna was great with our cat while we were away! She was a great communicator and very reliable. I would be happy to book her for our next vacation!”
About: Hi! I am a dog lover turned helper. I love all dogs. I volunteer dog walking and assisting with dog training at my local shelters. I work from home so I’m able to give your dog lots of attention and I live in a neighborhood so I’m able to walk your dogs with a dog park about 10 minutes away. I work full-time from home so I am able to pet and walk the dog pretty much whenever necessary. I personally take my old dog out every three hours. I’ve had a dog all all stages of life so I can give your pet the same love and attention that I would give my own dog. I live in a two-story house so there are stairs, but if necessary I can carry your baby up the stairs
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I currently own a large dog and am responsible for all aspects of his daily care, including feeding, walking, basic training, grooming, and monitoring his health and behavior. I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs as well as calmer or more sensitive ones. I have experience managing leash pulling, reinforcing basic commands, and creating a calm, safe environment both indoors and outdoors. I always prioritize safety, routine, and positive reinforcement. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, body language, and comfort level, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, patient, and proactive when it comes to communication and care. I'm currently working from home. So I have plenty of time to play with your dog. I'm available for boarding and day care on weekends and weekday. I have yard and a friendly Bernese Mountain Dog to keep your fur baby company. I will keep the floor clean so that the dogs have enough space to play.

I also treat your home with the same respect I would my own, making sure everything is clean and secure before leaving. You can always expect communication and photo updates for peace of mind!
“She was amazing with my cat Piper for almost 2 weeks while we were in Colorado and Texas. I got daily updates on her behavior and pics. She made time for me to drop off and pick Piper up. Once we picked her up, all of her equipment, it was a lot bc I'm extra with my cat, was cleaned and packed up. I would definitely recommend and I would use again.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and prefers a quieter approach, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently have cats of my own and have experience fostering, so I understand the patience and care that pets need to adjust and thrive. I work a full-time job, but I make pet care a priority and will always be upfront about my availability. My husband is also a dependable animal lover who is happy to help when appropriate, so your pets will always receive plenty of attention and care. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), or simply providing companionship.

Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority to provide dependable, consistent care that fits your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll communicate clearly, arrive on time, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, and routines to help your pet feel as comfortable as possible. I have cats of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, slow introductions, and creating a calm environment. If boarding a cat, I can provide a separate space if needed to ensure everyone stays safe and stress-free. In your home, I’ll treat both your pet and your space with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I have one dog at home and I feed, give her baths and walk her. I am currently a Dental Assistant working Monday-Wednesday and am available from 5 pm-8 pm. Though hours may differ since my schedule isn't always set. I would love to make some new friends and meet other dogs! Dogs are my favorite animals and I grew up around them and now have my own chihuahua with my husband. Whenever I see a dog being walked or just laying outside in the yard, I always go up and say hi! Seeing a dog or just taking care of it makes me so happy knowing that they're getting love and attention and are happy with their life. I can't wait to start working with dogs! I work Monday- Wednesday so I will have plenty of time to play and take care of your pets! My schedule varies so there can be times where I have even more time to care for your pet! I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a leash that I use for my dog all the time. I am always watching her while she is on it so I know that she is safe. I can do the same for yours!

Kayla was an absolutely amazing cat sitter for my girl, Phoebe! She followed the care instructions to a T, stayed extra to give Phoebe some love and updated me during every visit.

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.
