About: Animals are one of my favorite things in the world. I can take care of all different species, but am most knowledgeable with dogs and cats. I can administer medications, bathe, excercise and more. But most importantly, I can make sure they’re happy and safe! I am home from college for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies and can provide flexible scheduling too! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow feeding schedules, give plenty of attention and playtime, and can crate pets if needed. I also keep owners updated with pictures and messages for peace of mind.
“Magan once again took excellent care of our kitty cats! She is reliable and always communicative! You can tell she truly cares for all fur babies. We will definitely use her services again in the future!”

“She’s so amazing with my doggies!! This is my second time asking her to watch my dogs while I was gone and my dogs love her!!! She texted me with full story what they did every day, she stayed at my house little longer than I asked to make sure my dogs get full attention & love! They are so comfortable and happy to spend time with her, I wouldn’t asked anyone to watch my dogs but Tatum! 🥰”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. My own dogs, my neighbors have asked me to drop in while they were on vacation, and my parents friends have had me dog and house sit while they were away. I take the time to get to know what the pets need instead of taking a one size fits all approach. I’m available all week, whatever time. I’m not working any other jobs so I’m available whenever pets need it or pet parents want an extra check in or reassurance. I make sure they’re comfortable, whether that’s in a crate or just on a bed, constantly check their food and water, and make sure they’re good and tired before I stop playing with them.
“I just started working with Jocylyn and have had to do a lot of rearranging of our schedule. She has been so great about it. My dogs loved her and I know we will be working with her again!!”

About: I love all dogs & cats, I mean it’s hard not to love them! I’ve been taking care of cats & dogs since I was a little kid. I’ve always been the one to pet sit for my family. I’ve even worked at a no kill non profit shelter. I’m unable to have an animal of my own at the moment so pet sitting is the closest I can do to having one. I promise to love & care for your pet like I would my own! I’m a military wife who works from home so my schedule is very flexible to yours! I also have a 5yr old daughter & a 2 yr old son who are acclimated to cats, dogs, any farm animal, etc. Sometimes they will be with me (I would let you know before we book)! Im also open to setting up meet & greets with or without them there. My house has lots of land to explore on with no other animals at this time. In your home I will attend to only your animals as needed. I will follow all of your pet instructions to a T.
About: I was raised around animals my whole life and I absolutely love any and all animals. I have years of experience with dogs/cats, I also have a pet pig! I would love to care for your furry friends! I work in a hospital and my schedule is 8-5 Monday-Friday. I have free evenings/weekends and would absolutely love to spend that time caring for your pets! I have one female dog who is a little over a year old. She is super playful and friendly and would make a great playmate if needed! I have plenty of toys and treats for any animals and a crate as well.
About: I have a Bachelor's degree in Zoology, and Associates degree in Science and have cared for other peoples pets since I was 17 (August, 3 2026 I'll be 22) besides caring for my parents dogs and cats. I have expireance with special care needs like diabetic pets who need to be given insulin shots, elderly dogs with oral pills they would rather not take, and bouncing puppies who need to let out alot of energy. I also have owned many animals since I was little with minimal parental help. These animals include dogs, cats, snakes, mice, rats, fish, birds, spiders, and frogs. I have experience in highschool vet care and college lab and field experience in herpetology, ornithology, and ictheology. Your fur babies will love spending their time with me when you can't be there. I just graduated college and would love to make money doing somthing I'm good at; careing for animals. Since I just graduated and don't have another job currently I'm free at most times and would love to be of service to you. I will give my undivided attention to make sure your animal is happy and well cared for. I can take your dog to the dog park, and if you want I can bring my dog over for them to play. Dog/cat's needs and feed schedules can be precise. When I was caring for my aunts Diabetic cat I had to feed half of a 1/4 cup give him his insulin shot then feed the other half, this had to happen at 6am and 6pm exactly. The shot had to go into his opposite hip every time (left morning, right afternoon). I hope to offer your pet similarly the best care imaginable.
About: Hey there!! I've been around pets my whole life and absolutely LOVE them. We had a dog (dachshund) growing up as well as other animals like Rabbits and Guinea Pigs! I've had cats and dogs throughout my life as well. My bestie dog was named Sadie (corgi/husky mix) who was 17 when I had to let her go to the rainbow bridge March 2021...it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do 💔 I had her since she was about 1 yr old. She had a pacemaker put in about 2 yrs prior to passing and had a great life but I miss her like crazy. I've been Petsitting a long time but over the passed couple of years it's really helped heal my heart and has truly been a blessing. Most of my clients are from word of mouth over the years but I have this to help others get in touch with me if they need some help! I live in Lake Toxaway but I have jobs anywhere from Highlands, Trillium, Cullowhee, Cashiers, Sapphire, Lake Toxaway to Brevard. I mostly stay at my client's homes but I do bring some dogs to my house if it ends up being a better option. I've done puppy care and senior care as well so that doesn't phase me. I also can do medication or treatments needed. If I'm booked up for in home pet care then I can do drop ins 2x a day for cats 🐱 I can possibly offer that for dogs too but they usually need it 3x a day. So that would all depend on my availability. I work part time caretaking properties/cleaning, and childcare so I'm mostly home! When I do need to leave I'm not gone more then 3-6 hrs, depending on the job. I can travel further if I can move jobs around in my area. I'm very flexible and try to make things work if I can! I currently don’t have a fenced in yard but I will walk around my neighborhood and have a decent sized backyard. I treat your babies like they're my own so they get lots of lovin. Sometimes we go to the State Park too! If they like car rides I'll take them to check my mail or little errands.

“It was such a pleasure meeting Stacie, and getting to know her a little, along with hearing about her own love of animals! I so appreciated the photos she sent since my two cats are new to each other and she was totally thorough in caring for them!”

“Victoria was wonderful! We met her prior to starting her drop in visits and she familiarized herself with walk procedures. Every day I received an update on her visit along with pictures of our happy doggos which made going away easier on my guilt. We came home to two happy pups.”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover who treats every pet like family. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I pride myself on being attentive, patient, and trustworthy. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being well cared for. I understand that every animal is unique, and I’ll always follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your I currently have a remote nurse job so I have one plenty of free time to play with and take care of your fur babies. My 3 dogs are friendly and play well with others. I have crates where I can board dogs at night or during nap time or seperate them if needed. Also offer the dogs to run free in the house if that’s what they are accustomed to .
“Maurica was absolutely fantastic with my 2 dogs. I did not feel like I had to worry about a thing which was really nice since this was a last minute trip I was taking. Would definitely use her services again!”

About: Hi! My name is Ella, and I’ve had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember. I’ll be starting veterinary school in August 2026 and have worked in veterinary medicine for the past five years in a variety of clinical and shelter settings. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs, and I’m comfortable administering medications if needed. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! As an incoming veterinary student, I’m very used to maintaining a structured routine and planning my schedule carefully around animal care. Between my experience in veterinary medicine, caring for my own pets, and fostering both dogs and kittens, providing consistent care for animals is already a part of my everyday life. I’m comfortable keeping up with feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need while you’re away. I always try to keep pets as comfortable and stress-free as possible by following their normal routine closely. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay on their regular feeding, potty, walk, play, and medication schedules while also giving them plenty of attention and companionship. In my own home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets are closely supervised and treated like family. I also understand how important updates are, so I’m happy to send pictures and check-ins while you’re away.

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. 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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
