About: I grew up with dogs and have been around animals basically my whole life. One of our dogs was my best buddy for 10 years, and more recently I was my mom’s go-to person for our Border Collie while she worked. That meant long walks, feeding, grooming, and finding ways to keep a Border Collie entertained when she apparently has unlimited energy lol. I’m also a longtime cat owner and have plenty of hands-on cat experience. I’ve cared for my own cat through surgery and recovery, and I’ve helped raise a litter of 6 kittens from birth. I’m new to Rover, but definitely not new to caring for animals. I’m very attentive to their routines and little personality quirks, and I’ll always communicate with you so you know how your baby is doing ♡ My schedule is currently very open and flexible, including both weekdays and weekends, so feel free to reach out about whatever your needs happen to be! I'm naturally a pretty calm, nurturing person paired with a very type-A virgo brain. :) I'm organized, communicative, and probably going to become besties with your pet. I'll follow their normal routine as closely as possible and keep you updated while you're away.
“Megan did an awesome job taking care of our cat!! She really went beyond our expectations! She communicates very well any and all issues that occurred while she took care of our cat. And she does what's needed to be done to order to resolve those issues. She is friendly and a professional person whom we would highly recommend to any cat parent. She did a great job!!”
“Brittany was wonderful!! She was really great at communicating with me about my girl and always sent pictures as well. She was so patient and caring. She made us feel very comfortable with being away from Daisy. I would highly recommend her. She was great and we will definitely us her again!!”

“Madeline has been one of the best influences on our dog. Rio was rescued at five years old, after a 7 month stay in the APL. We introduced Madeline to Rio about a year ago, and gave her Rio’s history of Nervous Agression towards strangers. But, Madeline accepted the challenge and today, when she walks in, she is greeted by a happy, friendly Rio. They our officially buddies, and for that we are grateful!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for multiple friends and friends of friends that recommended me. They trust me and know that their dogs are in good hands. I am a sales rep for a technology company and that leaves me free time that I’d rather spend hanging out with pets and making sure they get the attention they deserve. This is non applicable because I’m not offering overnight services. However, they require me to write 25 words to continue. This will meet the requirements.
About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life! I’ve been the mother to many cats over the last 2 decades. As well as 2 dogs. I did a lot of dog training with my dogs. I’m also a mom and photographer.

I would definitely like to have a meet and greet with you and your pup before any walking or sitting. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I currently have an open schedule but that may change in the future. Looking forward to meeting you!! I am currently working full-time and am using Rover to supplement my income. I am available before and after work for your furry family member I prefer to watch your pet in your home. I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats that are very settled in their own ways. I am willing to make exceptions upon a meet-n-greet
“Allyce was incredible with our senior cat. We found out shortly before our scheduled vacation that he needed subcutaneous fluids and he was struggling with a new diet regimen. She took all those hiccups with stride and took the time to truly visit with our very social boy. He was clearly so happy and well taken care of when we came home. She also cleaned his fountain the last day of the booking, which was a lovely surprise to come home too. I would highly recommend her and look forward to working with her in the future!”
“Lexie was fantastic with daily check ins for my sweet cat while we were away for almost two weeks. She gave her a lot of loves, playtime, and special treats, sending me lots of pics each time so I got to stay updated on her happenings. I’ll definitely rebook in the future and highly recommend!”
“Carrie took such good care of our boys while we were away! She played with our cat and let our rabbit hop around and sniff her, just as we requested. She was even able to cover for us last second when our original pet care plan fell through due to an emergency! Her updates were so funny, and our home was left in perfect condition. She reached out with any questions- I would not hesitate to rebook Carrie or recommend her to a friend! 100/10 stars”

I currently work full-time, so I’m primarily available for morning (AM) and evening (PM) visits on weekdays. I can also provide drop-in visits during my lunch break when needed. I have full availability on weekends, which allows for flexible scheduling, longer visits, and additional care as needed.

I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel secure and reduce stress while their owner is away.

Highly recommend Melissa. Provided daily report and plenty of pics of my kitties. I trusted the were in great hands and I would book with her again. Has experience with senior cats and took special care of my 14 year old with kidney issues making sure litter area was cleaned up and he got his special food. Thank you so much!
We were very happy with our first experience with Kristi watching our 2 kitties. She was kind, professional and a great communicator. it was evident how much she enjoys animals from our meet and great and her messages and many great photos while we were away. We would highly recommend Kristi and hope to have her care for our kitties again in the future.
Mitchell is a fantastic sitter and was absolutely amazing with my cat while I was out of town for a few days. I received updates every day of the two of them playing and having fun together. Mitchell is very attentative and goes above and beyond to make sure all of your care instructions are followed. I'll always consider Mitchell for pet sitting with future trips.
Elizabeth was amazing!!! This was a last minute request and she couldn't have been more accomodating and easy to work with. You can tell how much she cares as her updates were always thorough. So happy to have found her, she'll be our go-to sitter moving forward!
Arissa did a fantastic job caring for our senior cat, who requires medical injections. She is a great communicator, detail-oriented and pleasant to work with. She is a self-starter and I was able to relax while we were gone because she did such a good job. Highly recommend!

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.
