“Maddison accepted a last minute booking request for 7 days for my two cats, all while also knowing one of my cats might have needed extra attention as she had recently been sick. Thankfully, she was fine aside from throwing up a few times, which Maddison picked up without complaint. She gave me daily updates and pictures. Great communication and my cats absolutely loved her!! Will 100% rebook for my next trip!”
“Mikayla does a wonderful job with our elderly kitty. She provides thorough updates on how things are going while we are away. It's great to have a sitter we can trust, so we can enjoy our time away!”
“So glad my hounds & I were able to find you Ava! I have been pulled in many directions lately to help my family & not having to worry about my boys was priceless to me. I will definitely reach out when I'm in a bind again!”
About: Guaranteeing love, attention, and compassion when you need to step away from home regardless for length of time or reason. I am highly dedicated to my families and their furry family members. I add a touch of difference with the care I provide to all of the animals I work with in that I treat each one individually and never work in a "cookie cutter" approach. I started working with and training animals (horses and dogs) at the age of fifteen. Throughout the years, my interest and passion with animals grew, as well as my experience. I currently have two dogs, a german shepherd and a very entertaining rescue mix. With my german shepherd, we are a K9 team with a search and rescue organization where we are called upon by law enforcement only for people who go lost or missing throught the upper Midwest. I still currently train dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, in addition to training service dogs through an individually owned local business. Due to my long-term experience, I am able to adapt to your pets' individual needs with age, both young and old. I am trained in pet first-aid and CPR, and I am comfortable with any prescribed medical care needs you may have necessary for them. I truly enjoy building a sincere bond and connection with each family I encounter so that when they step away, they can feel at ease and enjoy their time without distress or worry. Topnotch care is my priority! I have decided after many years of working in the financial industry and family care industries, that my remaining years, I want to follow what was my childhood dream. Working with animals! With my many years of experience, I always adapt my care to each of my pets needs. As I previously had mentioned I don't believe in "cookie cutter care" approach. I tailor my care to each pets individual needs and concerns.
“Vanessa is great at communicating how our animals are doing, eating, and any schedule changes she might have. We love the photos she sends and trust our pets are in good hands when Vanessa is watching them!”
“Kenzie did such a great job I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and she just sent me a lot of pictures and kept me reassured that my cat Crybaby was doing well she went above and beyond. I will definitely hire her again if I ever need to.”
About: I’ve had dogs around the house since I was 2 years old and have had many other pets ranging from rats to hedgehogs! I been able to adequately take care of each for as long as i’ve had them! I am currently on summer break from college so I have plenty of time to walk dogs and get in the time they need outside! I was able to take my elder dog on walks everyday to keep him active and get him his time outside. I also helped around the house with taking care of him, playing, and feeding him.
“Mariah is absolutely amazing! She took fantastic care of our kittens, lots of pictures, play time and loves! She is very professional and easy to communicate with. 100/10 definitely will book again.”
“Sydney did a wonderful job taking care of our cat and checking our house while we were out of town. She is a fantastic sitter! We hope to work with her again in the future!”
About: I've had pets my whole life, I watch the pets of my friends and family as often as I'm needed. I make sure they're fed, hydrated and go on walks daily. I also have experience working with blind and deaf dogs. I am on Medical Leave from work and pet care is what I am best at. I am free all day every day including weekends. I am best at caring for pets in other peoples homes. If I'm staying somewhere overnight i bring my own food, towels, blankets and pillows and i'm able to sleep anywhere including couches and floors. I am not able to watch pets in my own home as I live in a very small apartment that pets are not allowed in.
“Heather was great!!!! She contacted me with problems and sent pictures. She took amazing care of our kitties while we were away. She made a stressful weekend away for us a little easier. We will definitely book her again!!!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and many other pets since birth. We used to raise dogs, now we have two medium sized dogs.

Just graduated from high school May 2025, and I have a schedule allowing me to be able to continue caring for animals and to continue this passion of mine! I have two medium family dogs and they are very important, special members of the family. I treat every single pet with care and respect.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs my entire life! I am able to care for large and small dogs alike. Ages ranging from seniors to puppies. I understand that all dogs are different and should be treated as so. I am suited to reading dog behavior and know how to proceed. I will leave your barking friend feeling loved and well cared for. I am able to take multiple dogs on walks at a time. I have experience giving oral medication as well! I am available all weekdays and certain weekends- just shoot me a message and I will let you know! I currently have 1 senior cat, 1 young tabby cat, and 1 large dog (Dogo Argentino) that I take care of and love on the daily! I am very respectful of my clients property and belongings.

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 .

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 .
