“Cindy took great care of Rosie. We could just feel the love she had for our little cat through her check-ins. Great communication. Thank you so much!”
“Julie was 100% reliable while caring for my cat. She did everything we agreed on for my cat. She is friendly and clearly cares very much for animals. I will be scheduling her again for my next trip. Highly recommend Julie.”
“Camille was amazing with our dog today. She went out of her way to make sure he was well looked after and made sure we knew how he was all day. She has such a loving and kind personality and we won’t hesitate to have her take care of him again.”
“Ellie was great with our two cats while we were out of town. We were so appreciative that she was willing to check in on them during the holidays. Our cats were in good hands, and we're grateful for Ellie's awesome help!”
About: I owned and cared for a variety of animals since childhood. Dogs are my fave but I like them all. I have an associate degree in animal science so I am comfortable with any medical care that might be required for their care as well. I have worked with obedience training and service dogs, though I never received credentials. I am a mom of 2 with a few part time jobs so my schedule is busy but flexible. Some weeks more availability than others. I can do walks, play time, snuggle time, whatever is needed to keep them happy and comfortable. I am able to administer meds etc. as needed.
About: I've taken care of friends' and coworkers' dogs and rabbit, in addition to house sitting. I own a cat myself named Josh, and I've had him for about 14 years. I have volunteered periodically at the Cache Humane Society during my time at USU. I currently work part-time, but I'm free before 9am and after 4pm during the weekdays and with enough notice, the weekends are flexible! I will follow any instructions you have and adjust if needed. Make sure that exit points are closed and attentive of any behavior changes to share.
“Ellaine responded very quickly and was able to come on short notice. She was great to work with in making a longer care plan for my kitty and I’m excited to have her come back! Thank you!”
About: I've owned animals throughout my life. Currently, I have a lasb/mastiff mix, a boxer/dane mix, 1 cat, 4 lizards and a trantula that I share my home with. I'll care for your pet to the best of my abilities and they will always be loved, safe, and protected In my day to day life, my fiance and I share duties in the indie bookshop and creative space that we own. In the mornings, I get ready and take our dog outside. I always pick up the poop and dispose of it - it's a requirement in our townhome community. I then go in and feed the dog and give her any medications and supplements she may be on. Usually, I leave the house and my fiance takes care of her letting her out and taking a walk during the day. We do have a fenced dog park one block over that we frequently visit to let the pup run around off-leash for a bit and play with any other dogs that may be there and/or throw the ball. In the evening, we always go for a nightly walk before bed. Then our dog has a comfy bed at the foot of our bed and some stairs so she can get on the bed and lay with us. Your dog will get the same experience and care as our sweet girl, along with a playmate so boredom won't be an option. All dogs will be on leash outside of the home and waste will be disposed of properly. There's a fenced dog park near by that will allow your dog to run around off leash with our dog, who is very friendly and patient - an older spayed large dog, gentle as can be. Your dog will get the same care and protection as ours including no access to the cat box or open food they can grab, lots of love and attention, access to clean water always, and extra emphasize on anything you tell me your dog needs. I take our pets health very seriously.
About: Hi, we are Andrew and Kris. We've had pets our entire lives and have started to care for others in addition to our own puppy, Benelli. We have experience caring for various animals including dogs and cats. Kris works from home and we are quite flexible between our two schedules. Extended stays are welcome. We live in a very walkable neighborhood, and loving taking the pups out to walk around. Kris works from hone, so your pet will never be left alone! We are available for boarding as well, and just need advance notice for scheduling. We have a spacious townhouse and are both animal lovers. We currently have one amazing Labradane in the house who loves to play with other pets (if you allow it; otherwise he is very well crate trained and can remain separated). Your pets will have no shortage of attention and affection here!
About: I have been living with a multitude of animals all my life and hope to work with them for the rest of my life as I work to becoming a Veterinarian. I want to gain more experience with more people’s experiences pets and enjoy their company. I am currently a full time student at USU working on my Veterinary Science major, but there are always times when I miss my pets at home and want to take a break from studying so taking care of other people’s pets would bring me great joy and activity. I am living in an apartment on campus but have free time to give lots of attention and love to pets. I would love to give the dogs walks and play time to explore the beautiful campus and town and check up on them for their needs.
About: My family had a dog from the time I was a baby; my parents made sure I not only helped by playing with him, but walking, feeding, and grooming him, too. Later we had a cat and another dog. The cat was mine, so litterbox duty was always on me. So I have years of experience living with and taking care of cats and dogs, and I would LOVE the opportunity to show your fur baby some good old fashioned TLC! I do gig work for a living, so my schedule is super flexible, especially if you give me prior notice! I do not work on Sundays and Thursdays, unless it's an extended-stay situation. I can come to your home, where your fur baby is the most comfortable, and make sure they have the company, attention, and care they need when you're gone.
About: I am absolutely enamored by cats and just love them with all my heart! I have a cat of my own named Sunny and she is the light of my life! Loving cats in a gentle and respectful way is my way and I hope to show that to your pets:) Caring for creatures has always been an interest of mine and getting to do this is seriously awesome!! I currently hold a full time job but am looking to fill my free time with love from animals!! I am a hard working individual and love having things to do, so being able to make caring for my favorite beings on the planet a part time job for me is amazing! Currently taking care of 3 cats looks like daily litter cleaning, monitoring, and loving! I will take care of your pets how I take care of mine which is respect, love, and understanding!
About: I have always been surrounded with animals of all types and love taking care of them. I am currently working towards being an animal behavioralist and will pay close attention to what your pet needs. I am a student and a part time worker, but my main passion is taking care of animals. I will be unavailable Tuesday and Thursday from 12-2, but otherwise will be happy to see any animals. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment with my cat who is not very friendly so I am unable to bring your pet home. I am a very attentive caretaker and will spend as much time as they need together.

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.

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 .
