About: My family and I have had dogs since I was a kid. I’ve lived with up to 5 dogs at a time. Now, I am the proud momma of two cats, Zoe and Emma. You can describe me as the millennial whose sole purpose is to provide a full and fun life for my fur babies. At this time, I am a full time student and on my off days I hope to care for and go on walks with your fur babies. I plan my responsibilities ahead of time, so my calendar will be updated regularly to give you the most updated availability. I am always aware and present during my time with pets. I will prioritize their safety and well-being. I would love to have meet and greets where you tell me all about your specific concerns and we can talk about how I can help ease those concerns!

About: Hi there! I’m a certified veterinary assistant and veterinary technician with over 4 years of experience in veterinary medicine and approximately 7 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As both a veterinary professional and a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced in administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, recognizing early signs of illness or discomfort, and caring for senior pets and dogs with medical needs. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I provide calm, attentive care tailored to them. My goal is to treat every dog like family and give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced, compassionate hands. I work full time at an all feline hospital and also work at a veterinary emergency hospital. I’ve been working full time since I was 18. If you want me to be more specific, I even had my own business in dog training and grooming when I was 16! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal isn’t just to ‘check in’ on your pet, it’s to provide the same level of attentive, compassionate care I’d want for my own animals.

About: Welcome to my page! I have taken care of pets belonging to family members and neighbors, and it's always a very pleasant experience to love on the pets and see them excited and relaxed when I'm with them. Besides taking care of their basic needs, I'll make sure they get all the cuddles they deserve! 🐾 I'm currently a SAHM looking to have some income while enjoying loving on pets. I will use the time I have available while my daughter is in school and/or extra curricular activities. I would like to meet the pets (and the owners) for the first time before booking, to ensure it's a good fit for all, and there's trust between the humans and the fur babies.

About: Caring for animals is a lifelong passion, rooted in growing up around farm animals and currently sharing my home with my own dogs and cats. Over the past five years, I have dedicated myself to providing reliable, compassionate support for pets of all kinds. From energetic dogs and curious cats to horses and farm animals, I treat every companion as if they were my own. My approach centers on maintaining a consistent, stimulating routine while strictly adhering to dietary needs and safety protocols. Having grown up with farm animals and hands-on experience with both young pets and senior animals, I know how to tailor my care to every stage of life. Whether I am managing high-energy play or ensuring a calm environment, I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness above all else. I remain calm and responsible during any situation, keeping you informed every step of the way. I truly love witnessing the unique quirks that make your pets special, and I would be honored to provide them with the dedicated care they deserve. I'm currently working part-time at another company, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets or take them for walks in the mornings. My schedule would be from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday. I could come on weekends, but that would be on an as-needed basis and only in the mornings. I take great care of my pets and others as if they were my own. I understand that they have needs just like people do; they are beings that require attention and good nutrition, which is why I like to take them for walks, play with them, let them rest peacefully, and feed them well.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs and cats since I was a kid. I volunteered at an animal shelter for a while and have continued helping animals in my community, including strays. I’m patient, flexible, and always pay close attention to each pet’s routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care — while also giving their families peace of mind when they’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to accommodate pet care on both weekdays and weekends depending on availability. I’m always happy to work with pet parents to find what works best for everyone. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely and make sure each pet’s routine is respected. My priority is creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I pay close attention to their behavior, needs, and comfort level, and I communicate clearly with families to ensure their pets are well taken care of at all times.

About: Hello! Just a little about me. I was raised around cats & dogs my whole life. So I am aware of the constant needs that they may require. Whether that be enjoying the weather outside on a walk or a much needed cuddle sesh. I also genuinely love dogs and cats! From high energy dogs that are always on the go and to the mellow cat that just prefers to lounge around on a sun spot. So I'm sure I will love your fur baby during the time that I'll spend with them no matter the circumstance! I am currently working full time as an early childhood educator for the past 9 years, however I do have an open availability for house sitting during the weekends on Friday evening through Sunday evening. I work with children as a Teachers Assistant so “Safety” is my middle name! I am hyper attentive when around animals and will also put their needs first.

“Brandee is the absolute best! She replied to my booking so fast. Eventhough she wasn't available for the entire booking, she actively searched for friends who could help. Other sitters just turned down the request, or didn't reply. We agreed on some days that would work. The request was to care for tiny, sick, shelter kittens. The job was not easy, it involved an application to the animal shelter, wearing full protective gear, coordinating with the foster coordinator, and then caring for sick kittens. She handled it like a pro! She found her way in and worked with the kittens and even sent pictures. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”

“Marissa is amazing. She took great care of my cat and my home, even cleaning my freezer when she noticed that soda cans had exploded all over it. It was a tough job. (I had to leave very early for the airport and didn’t have time to do it myself.) She also made sure that everything was neat and tidy when I came home. In addition, I had texted her several times about flight changes and she was always responsive and understanding. She is a treasure.”

About: I grew up with pets of all kinds and have enjoyed watching the animals of people I love! Pets are part of our families I’d love to take care of yours :) I currently work part time from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to check in on and play with your pets! I’m available for mid-day walks, coming by while you’re out of town, and house sitting overnight. I’m happy to follow whatever systems you’ve set with your pets and keep their routines as normal as possible to maintain the effort of your time with training!

About: I offer reliable, loving dog care with plenty of attention, playtime, and patience. I treat every dog like family and adapt to their energy level, routine, and personality so they feel safe and happy in my care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and special care needs. Whether your dog loves active play or just wants companionship and reassurance, I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and given lots of affection while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while working on building my own entrepreneurial business. That flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet and adapt to their routines, whether that means visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’ve been pet sitting for years for family, friends, and acquaintances, and it’s always been one of my favorite side gigs because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their personalities. Since it’s something I’ve done and loved for a long time, I decided to start offering my services to more people in my local community. At this time, I’m only able to offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and adapt to their individual needs. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, and I always make sure fresh water is available. I also provide playtime, affection, and companionship based on what each pet is comfortable with, whether they want lots of cuddles or a little extra personal space. I pay close attention to their behavior and physical condition so I can quickly notice if something seems off, helping ensure they stay safe, healthy, and happy while you’re away.

“Sarah was the first overnight cat sitter I've booked and she was perfect! I was suuuper anxious to leave my sweet 2 year old IBD kitty alone for a week but my first meet and greet with Sarah calmed all my worries. Sarah house sat for 7 days and 6 nights and was kind enough to start early morning and stay late when I returned from the airport. She vacuumed before my arrival which was great. My kitty is normally very shy but he took to her quickly. I was worried about him not eating but he was comfortable enough to eat most of his food and by the 2nd day let her pet him and got closer and more comfortable the following days. He threw up at one point and Sarah kept me informed with pictures and cleaned it up thoroughly right away. I had a lot of instructions with his strict diet and Sarah was very attentive and dedicated to quality care. All of Sarah's daily updates were so nice. Will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve actually had all kinds of pets my whole life, dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, hamsters, turtles so I can confidently say I’m attentive to each one’s personality, habits, needs. I’ve welcomed many stray dogs and cats into my home to care for them and feed them and rehome them. I’ve potty/litter trained countless times and I can train them for meal times, to sit or give paw(dogs), to not scratch the couch(cats). In the last 4 years in particular, family members have asked me to pop by and check on and feed their babies. One household has two very loving and hyper dogs ages 2 & 3 yrs old that have a specific diet and meal times. They are potty trained outside so I walk them 2-3x a day depending on the hours I watch them. Second household has one 14 yr old dog and a 2 yr old cat, also with their own diets and meal times. The dog uses pee pads as she’s older and potty trained outside as well. Third household has 7 cats that range from 1 yr old to 7 yrs old. They’re all more free spirited and independent as they look after each other, they all eat at the same time and have indoor and outdoor privileges. I currently have full and open availability. I’d love to gain more experience looking after pets. My cat is very independent and clean, as long as I feed him in the morning and evening and keep his litter box clean, he’s a very good boy. It gives me the confidence to be able to help someone else with their fur babies either for work or trips. I can do from simply check-ins or stay in nights at a time with them. Im super flexible. As of right now, unfortunately I don’t have the proper space to bring others pets in ): but I am more than dependable and respectful to care for furbabies in their own home. Anything from simple and winging it to a list of instructions, your furbaby won’t see me as an intruder, but as their company.

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 .

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

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.
