“If you're looking for someone to care for your pets, I cannot recommend Shelli enough! She watched our cats while we were away, and she went above and beyond anything we could have asked for. One of our cats is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day, so leaving him is always incredibly stressful. We had originally planned to board them, but between the cost and the required vet visit beforehand, it just wasn't the right fit. Shelli completely put our minds at ease. She made sure they were fed, gave insulin exactly as needed, spent time playing with them, sent us photos and updates throughout our trip, and even cleaned up after one of our cats got sick. It was obvious she genuinely cared about them and treated them like they were her own. Being able to enjoy our time away without constantly worrying about our fur babies was priceless. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you, Shelli, for taking such amazing care of our kitties! We will absolutely be using you again and would recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter. 🐾❤️”
“Michelle was great. Great communication, and she was very sweet with our cat. I would definitely use her again when needed and recommend to all. Thank you for a great first rover experience Michelle!”
About: With seven years of experience in pet care, I have developed a deep understanding of the needs and behaviors of both dogs and cats. My journey has involved caring for a diverse range of pets, from playful puppies to senior dogs, as well as lively kittens and older cats. This experience has equipped me with the skills to provide tailored care that meets the unique requirements of each pet, ensuring their health and happiness at every stage of life. I am adept at managing feeding schedules, administering medications, and providing exercise and socialization, all while fostering a loving and safe environment for them to thrive. My passion for animals drives my commitment to delivering exceptional care and companionship. Here’s a friendly, professional answer that highlights your experience working with dogs and meets the 25-word minimum! I currently work part-time at a dog boarding facility, so I spend my days surrounded by dogs! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. My schedule allows me to dedicate extra time to pet sitting, walks, playtime, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention. Working with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love making sure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away! In my home, I have two beloved dogs that bring endless joy and laughter to my life! Caring for them involves plenty of playtime, cozy cuddles, and adventure-filled walks. I ensure they receive all the love and attention they deserve, from tasty treats to belly rubs, making every day a fun experience. When it comes to caring for clients' dogs and cats, I bring that same enthusiasm and affection! Each pet is treated like family, with personalized care tailored to their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s engaging them in playful activities, providing gentle grooming, or simply enjoying their company, I focus on creating a nurturing environment filled with love and joy. Rest assured, your furry friends will feel right at home in my care!
About: I've cared for seven cats, including a feral one I've had for 13 years. I walk cats, give shots, trim nails, and love dogs, too! Pet care fits easily into my routine. I'm available 24/7 this summer, except Tuesday and Thursday mornings when I play pickleball. Pickleball and animals are my joy! I provide care in your home, where your pets feel most comfortable. I’ll follow your routine and do whatever is needed to keep them happy and cared for.
“Leslie is such a a great care giver to our cat, Squeakers. Timely visits, making sure to spending time, greeting her and taking care of her emotional and feeding needs! What a reassurance!! Thank you so much”
About: I take care of many friends & families dogs & cats while they are away. I love animals and will make it a priority to ensure your pet has the best care! In my current job I am can be flexible with hours & we can figure out a schedule that will work with you and your pet to meet your needs. I can easily do any task you may need to ensure your pet is safe at home and out on walks. Safety is important and a big priority!
About: We’re huge dog lovers, and having recently lost our own pups, we’d love the chance to welcome some four-legged friends into our home while their parents are away. We know firsthand how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your dogs and how much peace of mind comes from knowing they’re being loved and looked after properly. Over the past ten years, we’ve adopted three dogs, two of whom were seniors when they joined our family. Our pups were truly our kids, and we’ve experienced just about everything that comes with sharing your life with dogs, from the funny quirks and endless cuddles to the extra care and patience older pups sometimes need. We’ve also looked after dogs for friends and family for years, sometimes having as many as four pups in the house at once! I’ve personally worked as a dog walker for several years, and my husband, Ric, is great with training… although his specialty is definitely cuddling. We’re holding off a little while before welcoming our next dog into the family, so in the meantime, we’d genuinely love having some pups around to spoil. Our goal is to give dog parents the same reassurance we always wanted when leaving ours behind: knowing your pups are with people who will treat them like part of the family. Expect lots of love, plenty of attention, a comfortable home, and probably more photos and updates than you asked for. 😂 Basically: your pups will be spoiled, cuddled, and treated like the little angels they are until you’re home again. ❤️🐾 I work from home most days, so pups get plenty of company, attention, and opportunities to get outside throughout the day! Ric and I are early risers and usually start our day around 5:45 a.m. with a quick trip to the yard for a wee. Since I’m home during the day, I’m able to keep an eye on their routine, let them out whenever they need, and fit in little walks throughout the day. After dinner, we always head out for a 30–45 minute walk, and any pups staying with us are more than welcome to join! If they’re particularly energetic, we’re also happy to add a longer morning walk after breakfast. And, of course, being in Florida, we’re always mindful of the heat and will adjust walks and outdoor time to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. 🐾 Honestly, we have a very peaceful household, and our dogs have always just chilled right alongside us. We’ll stick to whatever routine you give us when it comes to meals, treats, walks, medications, and anything else they need, but outside of that, we’re pretty good at matching their vibe. If they want to play, we’ll play. If they want to curl up on the couch and take it easy, we’re more than happy to do that too! Some of our friends have dogs who are usually pretty high-energy or a little anxious, and even they seem to completely zonk out when they stay with us. We like to think our home is just a comfortable, easygoing place for pups to settle in, feel safe, and make themselves at home. 🐾
“Katie helped me with my two dogs while I was out of town. We did drop in visits and Katie did great! She followed instructions well, communicated with me and sent me pictures of the doggies. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life and have personally had a variety of breeds including a lab, a rhodesian ridgeback, and a dashhound. I am comfortable washing, playing, trimming nails, and administering medication. I currently own a small business that is primarily weekend/event work! I work for myself so I can pretty much accommodate any requests/needs. Very flexible! I have a fully fenced in backyard so I can always bring your baby for some play! I love playing with any animal and getting to know them. I currently have 1 fur baby (cat, 6 years) so I understand their need for attention and stimulation! I take pride in making sure the space stays tidy and litter boxes maintained. Pets should add to your life and space and if I can help them clean up some of their mess, it creates a better environment for them and you!
“Colin was fantastic and helped us out when we needed a last minute sitter for our dog Oakley. He took great care of him and our minds were at ease knowing Oakley was in good hands while we were away.”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting since I was 12. Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I treat my dogs and other pets like they are my brother/sister, son/daughter, etc. I am patient with pets and allow them to get comfortable with me. I am currently working small jobs including personal soccer training and babysitting. I also compete on a Semi-Pro Soccer team that practices at night on Tuesdays and Thursdays and plays games on most Wednesdays and Saturdays. I am available the majority of the day besides during these conflicts that vary between 1-3 hours each. I treat pets like they are my own and will be able to complete any requests by the owner, including crating, feeding at a certain time, walking a certain distance, and/or spending time playing with the pet(s).

We had Jenna check on our cats while we went on a trip, and she was wonderful! When she came to meet & greet, she listened intently, and several of my cats came out to see her and liked her right away! She made us feel at ease and sent pictures every day, and left things clean and tidy. She is communicative, professional, and kind! Thank you Jenna :-)

Michelle was amazing! We’ve never used Rover, but we were out of town and didn’t wanna leave our pups too long while we were off doing fun things. We saw Michelle on Rover and she had great reviews. Even though she was working that day, she took the time to come walk the dogs when she had a break. She was amazing.
We sincerely appreciate how well you took care of Jumpy. The extra time and attention really go a long way. And we could see that in the photos you sent everyday! This was very reassuring while we were away. We like forward to hiring you again in the future. Thank you very much Renee.
Lucas was awesome! He came over to care for our two dogs while we were away for the weekend, and everything went great. He was reliable, communicative, and made us feel comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. We came home to happy pups and really appreciated the care he gave them. Highly recommend Lucas to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!
Ella is a real gem! We reached out with only a week’s notice to request drop-ins for our “office” (stray) cats, and she jumped right in to help. Her communication and response times were excellent from start to finish. I loved receiving the updates and photos every morning - it was a great start to my day. She followed all instructions to a tee, and the boys were clearly very well looked after. It’s clear that she truly cares about the animals she watches. I would certainly use Ella again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone!

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.

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 .
