“She was recommended to us by our previous pet sitter who moved away, and we couldn’t be happier. She was able to accommodate a same-day drop-in when we were in a pinch. She did everything we asked and went above and beyond, and she sent lots of lovely pictures! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Liz once again took exceptional care of our two cats while we were out of town for a week. So nice to be able to relax and not worry while away, glad we found her! Thanks again Liz:)”
About: I have over 2 1/2 years of experience as a trusted pet sitter in my previous community, where I cared for a variety of pets with different needs. What sets me apart is my dedication to providing personalized care and attention to every pet, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets, tailoring my approach to their specific routines and needs. My top priority is always the safety, comfort, and happiness of the pets in my care. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule because I work full-time with a flexible, hybrid setup. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, making it easy to provide consistent care throughout the day. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I go into the office only for half days in the mornings, which still leaves me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for your pets. My job allows me the flexibility to ensure that your pets receive the attention and care they need, without any disruptions. When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home, safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, I create a comfortable, pet-friendly environment that is free from hazards and provides plenty of space for pets to relax and play. I ensure that they are supervised at all times and follow their normal routines to minimize stress. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I maintain the same level of care and attentiveness. I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, ensuring their pets feel comfortable in their own environment. I always prioritize safety by keeping doors securely closed, using proper leashes during walks, and staying aware of their behavior to prevent any potential issues. My goal is to provide a caring and secure experience that helps pets feel safe, happy, and loved.
“Brandi was exceptionally attentive to our pup and our requests for care while we were away for a couple of weeks. She made an instant connection with Buddy and asked lots of questions to be sure she understood what our dog needed and to be best prepared to meet his needs while we were away. Brandi was prompt with her visits and kept us updated with report cards. She even stepped up and provided a last-minute drop in when our flight got delayed on our return. We couldn’t be happier or feel more trusting of Brandi. We look forward to using her again!”
“Alex was wonderful and such a help when we were in a last minute bind to find a sitter for our cat over the holidays. She was very sweet during our meet and greet and provided nice updates during her check-ins. Highly recommend!”
“Thanks so much for coming through when really need too. You can tell Akita was well taken care of. No worries at all if he worried or concerned he contacts you. Thanks will definitely rebook”
“Tiffany was great with our senior pup and our cat. It was our first time using rover so naturally we were very nervous. Tiffany was very responsive and instilled confidence in us which made the process so easy and convenient. I would 100% recommend her to anyone of my friends or anyone on here that needs someone to check on their fur babies while they’re gone!”
About: Love to walk with a dog. Able to teach not to pull on a leash. Prefer to watch a people friendly small or medium fur friend Have a full time job but can't pass on a walk time with doggy friends. Able to teach them not to pull on a leash I live in guard watching gated community and very quiet neighborhood. And my wife is retired and stay home all day except Sunday for service
About: I grew up with a cat and a more than a few dogs in my family since I was really young, but in the past 5 years of my life I've taken a liking to really understanding dogs and the care and love they need! I rescued Keto in August 2022 and ever since then I have been motivated to give him and any pets in my life all the love they deserve, I hope you can rely on me for any kind of care needed for your fur baby, small or large! I'm here to accommodate for whatever you need. I am always seeking anyone who would like to give me some more experience with their animals so I can have the best knowledge with any type of care. I'm currently working full time with fluctuating hours whether its morning mid-day or night, however, I am more than willing to help out with pets around my schedule! my daily routine with Keto is easy and laid back and definitely allows me to fit more pet care in around my schedule! I live on the second floor of my apartment, but have easy access to grass and lots of land for dogs to be let outside with my supervision. I also take my dog to a nearby park if that's something you are comfortable with me doing with your pups! I can also offer lots of play time and snuggles too!
“Camila has went beyond my expectations. She was so thorough with communication that I felt as if I never left my dogs. I will definitely be requesting her anytime my dogs to be cared for. PLEASE if anyone is looking for someone to care for your fur baby, Camila is the perfect fit ! She’s worth every dime ✨”
“Alex did a great job taking care of my two kitties while I was out of town! I’m so glad I found her and will definitely use her again. Communication was great and I was able to have peace of mind knowing my babies were ok at home.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, even domesticated raccoons. I’ve dog sat more times than I can count. My dream as a child was to move to Australia and work with Steve Irwin at the Australia Zoo. Always been a lover of animals and consider your fur babies on the same level as your sons and daughters. I will make sure they are in good hands with me always. I’m currently between jobs and only working 10-15 hours per week. It’s a rotating schedule but when I’m not working I’m free from 9 AM-1 AM but am happy to make an exception if need be. I live in an apartment with a fenced in dog park, a beautiful set of land for walking your pet, and when I am watching your pet I am clocked in and locked in and am as present with them as I would be babysitting a toddler. Minimal distractions, only focus on your baby. (Also very selfishly, want to be their favorite sitter!)
“I had a last minute work trip and was very hesitant as a 1st time Rover user. Especially, since I have a kitten and a senior cat with different personalities and needs. Angel was absolutely the best and kept excellent communication with me. Both cats were well taken care of, she was able to get pics of my shy senior under my bed and alerted me when 1 of my water foundations stop working. Incredibly thankful to have found her on Rover.”
“Cydnee was such a major help to me when I needed a last second drop in! She was super helpful and took great care of both my boys. She was very detailed and made sure she took care of everything I requested. Super grateful for her!”
“Mary & Jerry did a wonderful job working with Buster & Luna and are very much appreciated. Thank you for your patience and understanding! I definitely recommend them!”

Kristi is always so good to my baby Cheddar! She always allows her to warm up to her first before she forces her to do anything. Kristi always keeps me updated of how she is doing or if she has any problems. I appreciate her and her updates on my girl. She even did my dishes from my sink this time! Thank you so much Kristi.
Madlen is great! Highly recommend! She is knowledgeable on care for dogs and is very accommodating to any request needed. Oakley immediately felt comfortable with her which left me at peace. I will definitely be using Madlen frequently for my dog sitting/walking needs.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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 .
