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: I have owned dogs the majority of my life from big to small. I have had 2 cats in my life for the past 9 years as well. I am very knowledgeable in training and taking care of animals as its a big passion of mine to connect with animals, a long term goal is to become a Marine Biologist! I enjoy spending time with animals and learning more about them. I work part time at Chuze Fitness for about 3-4 days a week. I go to the gym about 3-4 times a week for 2 hours for each session. I enjoy exploring foods a lot and going to the movies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I feed my dogs and cats twice a day. I usually take my dogs out on an hour walk a day when it’s not too hot for them. I try and take my dogs to the dog park 2-3 times a month for some friendly exposure. My cats are indoor cats so they just play around with their cat tree and sleep as they don’t enjoy being outside.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs starting at the age of 12. I bathed, fed, loved on, and walked them. Can’t wait to gain your trust in taking care of your fur babies. I’m currently unemployed and this is a way for me to get back into the job force. I’ll be available anytime. I love animals and can’t wait to gain your trust. I’m offering to stay at the client’s house that way there dog(s) can be in a familiar environment and not have to worry about adapting to a change in scenery. I believe that will decrease any risk of stress added to your pets.
About: I have taken care of many pets throughout my life. Growing up I ran a dog walking and pet sitting service. I raised money with Paws for a Cause and was always helping or working with animals. I had two large dogs growing up, a German Shepard and a fat Golden Lab. I have had my fair share of experience with medications and prescriptions for both dogs and cats. I am currently now a mother to 2 cats, Sushi and Rice, although I have taken care of many more in my lifetime. I created a stray cat coop for more then 12+ cats to have shelter and food in my neighborhood. My experience with pet sitting ranges from puppies to taking care of 2 seperate cat gangs, that had to stay seperated by a door! 😆 I have experience with fostering and have recently adopted one of the dogs we fostered! I have always enjoyed taking care of animals and would love to help your family out like Rover has for me many times before. Hello! I am currently a student in Dental Hygiene school. I am looking to help out families and their pets nearby. My family has used Rover plenty of times and it has always been such a nice relief knowing that even on long work days, our pets are getting the care they need. I am in school late morning to early afternoon Monday-Friday. I am very careful with others pets. I would break into a million pieces of something ever happened to my babies and I would treat your baby the same. You can trust me to always be safe when opening and closing the front door. All animals will be secured leashed before the door opens again. I will respect your home and do all I was asked to do. Most importantly, I will ensure your pet is safe, happy, and gets the care they need!

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.
“Danielle was amazing! She was prompt each day, and sent lots of photos. She played with, brushed, and spent time with each of our kitties. One of my is prone to separation anxiety and she did great with Danielle’s visits. Will definitely be booking again!”

“We were planning a much-needed family vacation, but had never left our cat in someone else's care before. Naturally, we were nervous—especially since our cat is a rescue with special needs. From the moment we reached out, Paulina was responsive and professional. She quickly put us at ease with her prompt communication and genuine interest in understanding our cat's unique personality and needs. Paulina turned out to be the perfect match. She earned our cat's trust—no small feat—and formed a real bond with him. Her regular updates through Rover cards, complete with detailed notes and photos, reassured us that he was in great hands. Paulina truly exceeded our expectations. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy our vacation without worry, knowing our cat was happy and well cared for. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Paulina to our friends and family. She’s a wonderful sitter and we’re so grateful to have found her.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly understands pets because I’ve grown up with them and cared for them my entire life. I was raised with a Labrador, so I’m very familiar with high-energy dogs who need structure, exercise, and affection. Throughout my adult years, I’ve had both cats and dogs, giving me hands-on experience with different temperaments, personalities, and care needs. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” pets, I genuinely tune into them. I understand that every animal is unique. Some need playtime and long walks, others need patience, calm energy, and consistency. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, medications if needed, and most importantly, making your pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’ve also cared for neighbors’ and friends’ pets over the years, so I understand the trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. I treat every animal as if they’re my own…with reliability, compassion, and lots of affection. Whether your pet loves fetch, belly rubs, play sessions, or quiet companionship, I’m here to provide dependable care and peace of mind. I’d love to meet you and your pet! 🐾 Because I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’m able to accommodate potty breaks, walks, playtime, and feedings based on their usual routine. I’m also available on weekends and can often help with last-minute bookings when needed. My flexible work setup allows me to adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs, whether that’s regular daily care or occasional drop-ins. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my priority, and I’m happy to work with you to create a schedule that works best for both of you. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and environment to help reduce stress and anxiety. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walk routines, and any special needs. I’m attentive to details like securely locking doors, monitoring surroundings on walks, and ensuring your pet is always in a safe, supervised environment. I respect your home as if it were my own. Keeping things clean, organized, and exactly how you left them. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away. My goal is simple: to create a calm, loving, and secure experience for your pet so you can travel with peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and trustworthy hands.

“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!”

About: They always asked me to take care of pets, it's something I like because animals make me happy I always try to do my best to make them feel comfortable. I'm going to start studying again at the university but I'll always try to have time to take care of your pets and make them happy At the moment I only have one cat, I like to create a comfortable environment for him, it's easy for me to adapt to the needs of each pet.
About: Hi there! I’m a pet parent with experience in walking and petsitting both dogs and cats. I also have limited experience working with other animals, such as birds, fish, and reptiles.

“Madison was great with all 4 of our cats. She took care of the water, food, and litter while we were away. Even she did more than we asked for like throwing away the litter in the dumpster, cleaning food bowls, etc. Definitely we would trust her with our cats 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.

About: Hello! I am a Special Education Behavioralist and have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats! I grew up having pets through. I have been house sitting/walking dogs for about 4 years. I enjoy going on walks by myself and even more so when there's a dog to enjoy it with! I have been relied on to give medication, feed and/or bathe any and all breeds of dogs. Your fur baby will receive endless amounts of attention from me focusing on safety and happiness! I love taking in all the dog time, while my living circumstances do not allow me to have a pet of my own! Thanks so much for taking the time to read a little about me. I'd love the chance to meet you and your pet soon!! I work Monday to Friday 8-4 (sometimes earlier then 4) and I am always free after work. Weekends my schedule is very open and available. I have house/animal sat since I was in high school for family friends. Over the past 4 years I have stared up again for friends or friends of a friend.

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 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
