About: I love furry pets of all shapes and sizes! I grew up with cats, a guinea pig, and a rabbit. Since moving out on my own, and learning my husband has cat allergies, we have owned dogs. We have two of our own, and I am thankful that my friends and family feel like they can count on me with their dogs of all ages. Recently, I have been working with a family member’s new puppy, and checking in on some neighbors senior dogs. I know dogs decide who they jive with, and I will never force it. I am returning to school as a full-time student right now, but most of my classes are online this semester. I am looking for work that can work around me right now. My weekdays are largely open, with classes after 3pm on MWF. You can expect me to only take on pet care that I can truly dedicate my time to. Since I am offering drop-ins and walks, you can expect me to follow your rules and wishes in your home. I promise to leave your space better than you left it, making sure to care for your pet and cleaning up after any messes made while we are together.
About: Throughout the years I have dogsat/pet sat for numerous family members and various other individuals. I am experienced in dogs of old age, puppies (and their shark phase lol), dogs with dementia, smaller dogs (yorkies, etc). For my current boss, I have watched her pitbull puppy numerous times whilst multitasking and watching a toddler. Also, a fun fact is I adopted a dog of my own from nickel city canine rescue. His name is bluey and he is just over a year old. I know the challenges that come with dogs, due to the when I got him he was reserved, untrained, and very scared of people walking up to him. Now after many training sessions and lots of patience and love me and him have become social butterflies. To summarize; I have skills in taking care of senior dogs, dogs with dementia/disabilities, a variety of puppy ages, and training puppies basic commands (sit, wait for food, ring potty bells, etc). I hope to hear from you soon !! I currently work part time (Wednesday and Thursday) as a nanny, and I am in school to receive my masters degree in clinical mental health counseling. So on my free days I’d love to take care of your pets :) I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own. I make sure to walk my dog two times a day ( weather permitting) and to do lots of brain enrichments. If you need, in my time in your home I can clean bowls, set up enrichment toys, or take your babies for a nice walk.
About: I’m a devoted cat owner with experience caring for kittens, adult cats, and senior cats. I have also cared for many of my friends’ cats and am comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving cats patient, loving attention. My work schedule is very flexible, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I can adjust my availability based on your cat’s needs and am happy to help with visits during weekdays, evenings, or weekends. I always follow each cat’s normal routine and your care instructions carefully. I make sure food, water, litter boxes, and playtime are taken care of, while giving each cat the space and attention they’re comfortable with. I’m also very mindful of safety — I double-check doors and windows so cats can’t slip outside, and I can keep bathrooms or toilet lids closed if needed, since some cats like to play with toilet water. I’ve cared for cats with different habits and personalities, so I pay attention to the little things that help keep them safe and comfortable.
About: I have a degree in animal behavior from Canisius College with a major focus being animal care/husbandry and welfare. I have had pet dogs both big and small since I was 7 years old and have been helping to watch neighbors’ and family members’ dogs since I was 13. I will use this extensive experience caring for and walking dogs as well as my uniquely relevant educational background to ensure your pets are well taken care of, happy, and healthy! My schedule is currently variable however excepting any major changes I am mainly available for drop in visits and walks on most days from mid-day to late-evenings and occasional overnights. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet suburban community. We have a cat who is friendly with other animals and people. With a background in animal behavior I am well versed in safe, proper care in addition to best practices in regards to animal welfare and am excellent at reading animals’ body language for signs of distress which I can use to make sure your dogs feel safe and comfortable.
About: Years of fostering dogs has given me hands-on experience with all kinds of breeds, ages, and temperaments. I know how to handle anxious pups, high-energy dogs, and everything in between. My goal is always to provide the same love and structure I’d want for my own pets—so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because it’s something I’ve been doing for years through fostering and pet sitting. I plan my days around walks, feedings, playtime, and any special needs—like medications or training. I love creating a consistent, calm schedule that keeps pets happy and stress-free. I always start by learning each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and fun environment with regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their schedule to the letter and make sure their space stays tidy, secure, and welcoming.
“Spencer did a great job with a drop-in visit for my two cats, Zu Zu and Mr. T. He was prompt, thorough, and made sure everything was taken care of while I was away. I appreciated the attention to detail and the care he showed for my cats. I’d definitely recommend Spencer to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
“Elisabeth took incredible care of my cat while I was away! I got plenty of photos and she was even kind enough to give in to his daily demands to be brushed. It was such a relief to know he was well taken care of while I was gone for two weeks. Elisabeth was able to step in and extend her visits when my return trip was delayed for a day. Highly recommended!”

About: ✨ 8+ years experience | Medical care | Reliable & dog-savvy ✨ 🌞 6/1/2026: Please keep in mind that this is a busy time of year! Blocked spots on calendar indicate booked gigs outside of Rover. If you see any availability, please don’t hesitate to reach out! 🌞 Hi there! My name is Izzy! I have been working with dogs for a little over 8 years now, both in formal and personal settings. From managing a doggy daycare/salon to my own personal care sessions (which have been requested in state and international), I value all opportunities because it allows me to learn, grow and become more confident when caring for animals. I have worked with and taught commands to dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. I have also worked with animals who had behavioral issues, medical conditions such as seizures, liver problems and diabetes. I have administered medications and proper substances when needed. I believe that maintaining a routine is essential when watching animals because their world is a little different when they aren’t with their primary care taker. With this being said, if an animal has heath condition and/or specific needs, I would appreciate that they are disclosed before sessions. It is important that each animal is treated with care and is given lots of love. It is also necessary that the family feels comfortable with individual who cares for their pet and that they can trust them. I haven’t touched on all my experiences so if there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to share! Looking forward to connecting with you and your pets! Side note: I’m also comfortable caring for lizards and small pets, and can offer light home cleaning services during longer stays if requested. Additional fees may be required. I build my schedule around my pet care clients, so availability for drop-ins, walks, and sitting can be very flexible — including mornings, evenings, and weekends. If you’re unsure about timing, just message me! I’m happy to coordinate! I believe that monitoring activities like playing with toys and distributing treats should be supervised at all times. Having a routine is important so sticking to that routine essential when it comes to caring for a pet. I do not have a yard but dogs would be taken on walks everyday (rain or shine) if they were to stay with me.
About: I have a senior dog of my own who I’ve had for about 5 years! I am have trained her in basic obedience, and I often take her out on trails with me for walks. Since she’s old, she occasionally has accidents, so I’m good at cleaning up messes! My ride has work from 2PM-9PM on weekdays, so ideally would have to do things before 12PM. On weekends I’m available whenever except for Sunday, we have church from 9AM-12PM but after that I am free. I can easily crate your dog for you if needed! I can make sure they’re fed, watered, and the place is clean. If they need a bath I am able to do that.
About: I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality and behavior, making sure they always feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I adjust to what your pet needs in the moment. I treat every furry friend like family and make it my priority to give them the same care and attention you would. My intention for every animal I care for is to make sure they are happy, safe, healthy, and loved. 🤍 Since I work part-time, I have plenty of free time to give dogs the attention they deserve. This means I can be flexible with walks, playtime, and drop-ins, and your pup will never feel rushed. I love spending my extra time playing, walking, and bonding with dogs, so they get lots of care and companionship while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. Respect is very important to me, I treat both your home and your animals with the same care I would my own. You can feel confident that your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I always make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and secure, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🤍✨

This was my first time using Rover and my first time having a "stranger" look after my cats while I'm away for work. Belle did an awesome job looking after my 2 kitties! I loved the report cards I would recieve after a check in each day. And I am very satisfied with the booking and will be reaching out again for the next trip. Thank you so much again for being so caring to my babies!

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.
