About: I've had big dogs my entire life so I'm incredibly confident in my abilities to take the best care possible of your dogs! I get along great with dogs young and old as well as big and small and have had experience dealing with reactive dogs as well. I didn't have cats growing up due to family members' allergies but I have been cat sitting for a few years for my friends and I hope to one day own a cat as well :) I've also had experience working with fish, frogs, geckos, and other small animals. I love critters big and small and work great with all types of animals! I'm a senior at the University of Maryland with a fairly relaxed schedule so I have more than enough time to make sure I'm there for your pets in every way possible! I live in an apartment on campus so unfortunately I am not currently able to board animals but I have a car so I can drive to you and can access dog parks, pet stores, and vets easily if need be. I have no allergies to pet saliva or dandruff and am comfortable working with all kinds of animals!
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have worked with animals professionally since I was 16 years old and have spent the past three years working in animal shelters as a Behavior Specialist, helping dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments feel comfortable, safe, and successful. In addition to my shelter experience, I have four years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets. My background in animal behavior allows me to recognize body language, reduce stress, and provide individualized care based on each pet's unique needs. Whether your pet loves adventure, needs extra patience, or simply enjoys a consistent routine, I am committed to providing safe, compassionate, and reliable care while you're away. i’m currently working full time and have off on sundays and monday. On the days i work, i work 9-5:30 sometimes getting done earlier on occasion. I currently have a whole separate room to separate cats from my own. I work in animal welfare and know how important sanitization is a well.

I love them all and they all usually love me, even the one's people say don't like men/people. I'm also big and boisterous, equating to perfect (but kind) dominance and control, as well as capabilities the average person might not be able to do, like separating dog fights or controlling unruly large animals.

I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, and I can provide consistent feeding, litter cleaning, and playtime based on your cat’s normal routine. Because I focus on cat-only care, I maintain a calm and quiet environment without the stress of dogs. I’m also able to check in frequently, monitor behavior, and give extra attention to shy or senior cats that may need more patience. I provide a safe, quiet, and cat-friendly environment designed to reduce stress. Cats are kept indoors at all times, with secure doors and windows. I keep litter boxes clean, provide fresh water, and follow your feeding instructions carefully. I also separate cats when needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable, especially for shy or first-time guests. I take time to build trust with each cat and never force interaction. I monitor eating, behavior, and overall comfort, and I’ll send regular updates and photos. If caring for cats in a client’s home, I respect your space, follow all instructions closely, and make sure your cat’s routine stays consistent.
“Matin was fabulous. We have only had chicken noodle for seven months and I was extremely apprehensive about leaving her but Matin made me feel so at ease and relaxed knowing that she was in the best hands possible. I wanted to keep chic in her routine and make sure she was just as comfortable with someone else as she is with us and Matin did just that! She sent pictures and videos and kept us up to date with how chick was doing on a daily basis. Matin is my first call when we go away again! Words could never express how thankful I am for the care she provided for chicken noodle!”

nathan was so wonderful watching my senior cat. she takes a couple pills a day so it’s important for her to be cared for while i am away. nathan met with me last minute for a huge trip i had planned when my typical sitter couldn’t help me. my cat loved him immediately and i felt very safe and comfortable with her in his care. the photos he sent me throughout my trip, you could tell she was happy he was there. at one point my flight was cancelled on my trip and nathan was able to last minute accommodate feeding her again for me. very grateful for his services and will be using him again for any of my needs for my old lady! highly recommend!
Cera is absolutely wonderful with our cats! This is our second time booking her, and she has been fantastic both times. She’s reliable, attentive, and so easy to communicate with. She sends plenty of updates and photos, which we really appreciate, and it’s clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with our cats. She even takes the time to play with our one cat using her favorite laser pointer! We never have to worry about them when we’re away because we know Cera is taking great care of them. We’re so grateful to have someone we trust completely and will definitely continue booking with her!
This was my first time using a sitter instead of friends or family, so I was pretty nervous leaving my hyperthyroid cat who needs daily medication and has become very picky with food. Maggie was fantastic—she followed my notes closely, was patient with his routine, and made sure he was comfortable and eating. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such attentive and capable hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her, especially for pets with extra needs.
We are so thankful for Andrew’s thorough and conscientious service. His availability on extremely short notice rescued us from a huge bind. Our two cats are friendly and affectionate to us but always afraid to interact with visitors or anyone they don’t know. Andrew was a notable exception to this tendency. His very relaxed and kind demeanor put our cats at ease from their first meeting. We appreciated the many photos that Andrew shared which clearly confirmed that our cats enjoyed his visits and were completely relaxed around him. Andrew followed all of our instructions precisely and provided us with helpful feedback throughout his time of service. Our time away was truly enhanced knowing that our cats were in such good hands with Andrew. We will definitely use Andrew in the future and strongly recommend him for your next pet sitting needs.
Stella took such great care of my rabbit! The photos and videos gave me so much peace of mind, and it was clear he loved spending time with her. She treated him like one of her own and went above and beyond in so many thoughtful ways. I’d absolutely book with her again!
Maria went above and beyond this time to care for my babies. They love her and got lots of playtime as usual, but this time my house was dealing with an ant infestation. She notified me so that I could call pest control and helped spray and wipe away the ants she could see in the meantime before they were able to drop by. I was very anxious about the situation and she continued to provide updates and let me know that their food and main play areas were safe

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
