“Bridget is an outstanding pet sitter. She gives thorough updates and takes time to engage with our cats. We always consider ourselves lucky when she is available to check in on our babies.”
“First time to use this app and sitter for our 2 cats. Sara did a great job in all things: initial response, setting up intro meeting, and mostly for taking great care of the cats. She kept everything clean. By the pics, the cats were very social and friendly with her.”
About: Life is just better with animals and I love having them around! Overall, I have around 15 years of experience caring for pets through helping family, friends, and neighbors with pet sitting, check-ins, walks, feeding, and companionship in general. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is more of a passion and less like work to me. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. I also understand the stress of trying to find the perfect sitter when you’re going out of town as I, too, have gone through it many times. That’s another reason why I decided to finally get on Rover, so I could be the dependable and loving pet sitter that folks are looking for. I do have extensive experience with both younger pets and seniors (mostly dogs and cats) and of course have a special soft spot for the older fur babies who require a gentleness that I’m very used to giving. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply having someone reliable nearby, I’m happy to provide dependable and loving care you can feel confident about. Our pets have always been treated as part of our family and the second your fur baby is in my care (via a walk, sleepover, or check-in) they will be treated like family too. I work full time but have a wonderfully flexible schedule. Tuesdays and Thursdays I work from home so I get extra time to hang out with fur babies at my house and on the weekends I am also available! On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I get home from work between 4pm-5pm but can always leave earlier if need be. I love going on walks in the morning and at night (and during lunch time if I’m working from home) so if I had a pup with me and they like walks too, I’d love to add a companion to my walks!! I have a fenced in back yard and 1 indoor male cat named Pancake. My cat is very sweet (and neutered) and gets along great with other animals but we can absolutely separate if that would work best. I have no children so it’s just me, the cat, and my wonderful (animal loving) boyfriend of 9 years! We are about as stable as it gets lol. We have a couple empty bedrooms that your pet could stay in or be crated in if you prefer that they have some privacy and alone time (totally up to you but the option is there if they need quiet time). Overall though our home is pretty quiet and loving. No crazy noise - just two people and a cat who have lots of love to give other animals!
“Cara provided daily drop in visits for our two kitties while we were away. She did a wonderful job! She and her kiddos came daily (which we had discussed/approved ahead of time) during the requested time frame each day. Daily pics and updates were sent. The kitties were fed, played with and well loved while we were gone. And the one that usually hides with strangers even came out to play on occasion. The litter boxes were kept clean as requested and she was great about cleaning up a mess or two when the kitties started getting homesick. I cannot say enough good things about Cara and her great care and communication! Will definitely use her again next time we have Rover needs!”
“Taylor is reliable, trustworthy, and great with animals. She is very professional and thoughtful in her care, and we’d definitely recommend her to anybody looking for a pet sitter!”
“Rachel provides weekly care for our dog and is always punctual. She provides excellent feedback, responds quickly, and is patient with our nervous dog, giving him the space and understanding he needs.”
“I’m very happy with the care she provided for my dogs. She did a wonderful job and was very responsible and reliable throughout the entire time I was away. When I came home, my dogs were happy, calm, and well taken care of, which gave me so much peace of mind. Everything went smoothly, and I felt very comfortable having her care for them. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her take care of my dogs again in the future. Thank you so much”
“They did a super good job taking care of our 2 kitties! They were able to work with our house's security system and did a great job following directions and communicating with us.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful!! Did a drop in for our pup while we were at work. She gave lots of updates, sent pictures, and even brought a package inside! We will be using her again. Thank you Elizabeth!!☺️”
About: My name is Taylor and I am new to the Saint Charles area! I live with my 2 year old cat Sushi who is the cuddliest cat to ever cuddle. I have had dogs and cats my entire life, so I know that your furry friend is an important member of the family. I have over 10 years of experience feeding, watering, and providing exercise and walks to dogs, as well as caring for and providing enrichment to cats. My keen eye for detail ensures that I follow any and all instructions when it comes to your pet’s care and when visiting your home. I know pet parents love getting updates on their fur babies when they’re away (same), so I make sure to send plenty of pictures and detailed updates whenever providing a service. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions! 😊 I work in a hybrid environment, so I’m available throughout the day on Monday and Friday, and in the evenings on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I am available for services on weekends as well, and will update my calendar if I am ever unavailable. I am very responsible and will follow any specific instructions you have thoroughly. Protecting your pet and your home are my number one priority when pet sitting.
About: Hi👋 I'm Jill. I grew up on a farm and have always been around dogs & cats. I currently have two cats of my own. They were both strays and came into my life at different times. I love interacting with all types of animals. Since I can't have a dog of my own yet due to living situations, I would love to take care of yours! My sister and brother in-law have two dogs that I watch when they go out of town. One is a bigger 70 lbs Australian Shepard and the other is a smaller 10 lbs toy poodle. I hope to bring peace of mind to you and happiness & excitement to your pets. I work full time, but am available anytime on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays most weeks. 6 a.m. is the earliest I'm available and 10:30 p.m. is the latest. Availability breakdown: Sundays- Before 11 a.m. after 5:30 p.m. Mondays- After 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays- 6 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. (Anytime) Wednesdays- After 3:30 p.m. Thursdays- 6 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. (Anytime) Fridays- Before 8:45 a.m. after 7:30 p.m. Saturdays- 6 a.m. - 10:30 p.m. (Anytime) My two cats are grazers so they get fed twice a day and eat when they get hungry. They have a water fountain that circulates the water to mimick a stream. They seem to enjoy moving water better than still standing in a bowl. When I watch my sister & brother in-laws dogs I take them for walks twice a day and we play & cuddle. I work on tricks with them too. I normally use their dry food as treats if we work on tricks for a while.
“Kayla was absolutely amazing! She was able to watch our two cats on short notice and came by the house a few days beforehand for a meet and greet. Kayla was so kind and easy to communicate with. She sent pics and notes during each check-in, which was much appreciated. I highly recommend!”
About: I've grown up around animals. Ive wanted a cat since I knew they existed, and since getting my first cat, I've taught him to sit, sit pretty, high five, and jump through hoops. Currently fostering a second with a compromised immune system, so I am no stranger to anxious pets, or pets with a complex care system. I work a part time job and have classes from 8-12 on Mondays and Wednesdays. Ive got my own cats, so ill spend at least hour and a half or so each day spending time with them and doing chores at home, anything else is free time to spend with your pet. Ive got lots of energy to play with your dog and love to cuddle. I can keep a steady schedule with food, bathroom, play, etc. Also able and willing to do grooming like tooth brushing, baths, and other procedures.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets and began learning to train since I was 9. It’s my biggest passion and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I’ve cared for and trained puppies, young dogs and senior dogs. I’ve also recently accomplished training my cat how to sit and meow on command 🤭. I have two parakeets as well and grew up among other breeds such as cockatiels and love birds, so I am pretty familiar with birds as well. I understand that each pet has different care and needs depending on their breed, age, and mental/physical abilities. I’m a full time Police Dispatcher working Monday-Wednesday from 3pm-11pm and Thursday/Fridays from 7am-3pm, weekends off (usually). With set schedule, I can do one visit throughout the week and two or as many as needed throughout the weekends. In my home my dog free roams as I have trained him since he was a pup and we have that trust. Apollo has learned to be flexible with his schedules as my work hours flip flop. As long as he gets his two meals and a minimum of three thirty minute to an hour walks a day, with some play time in between, he is very much happy and mellow. In a clients home, I follow directions and asks questions to confirm how the client wants things done. If the clients has questions and wants advice on certain things, I’m always more than happy to help coach as a trainer and offer my advice 😊

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 Meet & Greet .

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.
