About: For over 12 years, I’ve dedicated myself to being the best pet parent I can be, caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as cats. My passion for animals goes beyond just the basics; I believe every pet deserves attentive, loving care and a healthy, happy environment. I treat every pet in my care the same way I treat my own, with patience, consistency, and a whole lot of love. Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life. I’ve had pets for over 12 years, so feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and health check-ins are already built into my daily rhythm. This makes it easy for me to seamlessly incorporate your pet into my routine without disruption. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or evening cuddle session, I make sure every pet in my care gets consistent attention throughout the day. When caring for a pet in their own home, my priority is to keep their routine as normal as possible, because familiar surroundings and schedules help pets feel safe and stress-free. I follow any instructions the owner provides regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and preferences. I treat every client’s home with the utmost respect and keep communication open by sending updates, photos, and messages so owners always know their pet is in good hands. I bring the same level of care and attention to your pet that I give to my own.
About: I have been around and taken care of puppies and dogs since I was a little girl. Ever since then, my love and care towards dogs has grown. I’ve had family members and friends ask me to walk or take care of their pups sometimes. I even have a dog of my own named Luna 😊 I am working a part time job at the moment, which allows me to have free time to be able to hang out with your fur babies! ☺️ I have a comfortable and safe environment with plenty of access for your dog. I also follow any rules that are given to me in order to make your dog have a happy and productive time.
About: I lived with dogs and cats when I was born. My family loves pets so I keep leaning pet caring knowledge from them. Now, I raised my own dog Piepie, a longhair mini dachshund! I am an animal and pet lover. Sometimes I feel I am one part of them. I know about how to take care of them, how to feed them medicine correctly, and what does each reactions mean. I am very cautious and patient on treating pets to ensure they are happy and safe! I’m currently working part-time two days a week. So I am very free on schedules Monday to Sunday! I am also very flexible on morning and evening. I will walk your dog on time and observe his/her daily routine. I will kindly ask details of request and the pet’s habits and try to be friend with them. I will not take my dog with the pet I care without allowance of client.
About: I'm super patient and I'm very attentive. I just love looking after others in general and I find joy in work like this. I've looked after my sick parents and after my sibling most of my life, I was also one of the eldest kids in my church community so I was depended on to look after them a lot of the times as well. From there I was depended on for other things like looking after the occasional pet by family friends from the church and from my own friends. As of right now regularly help take care of my girlfriend's little Pomeranian and I love him. Right now, all I am is a full-time student so other than my classes I have very little commitment and will be free for most requests. Even if my schedule overlaps I also have a very flexible schedule so I don't have to consider if I'm free too much. When with a pet, I am not just physically present but mentally too, ready to anticipate any need and determine how to satisfy it. Always ready to look out for any potential danger and on my toes to be ready to deal with anything if needed.

I am happy to help in whatever ways I can as we head into summer and can provide care on both weekdays and weekends. I am always aware of my surroundings, supervising both my own and my pets’ safety.

Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and making pets feel comfortable in my home. My cat has a separate space from boarding dogs to ensure a safe and stress-free environment for everyone. I also love sending photo updates so owners can feel connected and at ease while they’re away. My home is a very calm and peaceful environment. Working from home gives me the flexibility to care for pets while their owners are away. I stick to what the owner already has in place for their fur child. They need consistency in their routine & I adhere to that exactly.

“Tyler made my first time using Rover a wonderful experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my kitten. My kitty can be very shy and fearful, but she warmed up to Tyler right away — she truly has a way with cats. Tyler consistently sent photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my baby was well cared for. She went above and beyond, and I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to others.”

About: I have over 5 years of pet-care experience and have personally cared for two dogs, three cats, and a hamster. I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with pets of different personalities, from playful puppies to shy cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, cleaning litter boxes, giving pets attention, and making sure they feel safe and loved. Because I’ve cared for both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and comfort levels. I’m patient, gentle, responsible, and always pay attention to small details so pet parents can feel at ease while they’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine because I currently work part-time. I’m usually available after 2 PM on weekdays, and I have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or keeping pets company depending on their needs. I will always do my best to follow your pet’s normal schedule so they can feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets, I always follow the pet parent’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication notes if needed, and any house rules. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, and I will never force interaction if a pet feels nervous. In a client’s home, I will respect the space, keep everything clean, and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and litter areas are handled safely. My goal is to make every pet feel secure, loved, and relaxed while their owner is away.

I'm the person that you run into the park or on the sidewalk that starts talking to you because your dog is just that cute and I want to pet him/her. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is flexible and we can see when could work best for our schedules. Preferably walks and/or visits are when the sun is still out. It’s important for us to have a chat so that I know what your pet’s likes, dislikes, and rules are. Once that is shared, I’ll use it to provide the best experience for your pet! :)

We love Tina! It is hard to find a good cat sitter, so I am so grateful we found Tina! She is so great with cats and is always great at responding to any concerns I have. She really makes a point to address any concerns you have and follows up with details and pictures on every visit. Thank you so much for always responding to my last minute requests too!

Here’s a polished version of your review that keeps your tone but tightens it up and flows well: Eileen was absolutely wonderful from the very first interaction. She arrived right on time, was incredibly sweet, and my animals took to her immediately. You can genuinely tell she loves what she does, and that gave me confidence right away. I had her do drop-in visits twice a day, and she was consistently punctual. When I returned, my home was clean, and most importantly, my animals were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. She didn’t just handle the basics she took the time to play with them and make sure each one felt loved and comfortable while I was away. Eileen also kept me updated after every visit with photos and detailed report cards, which gave me real peace of mind. Knowing my pets were in such caring hands made being away so much easier. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter.

Shelby was amazing! always on time, communicative and very responsive. When we came home, Coco seemed genuinely happy. I really appreciated the updates on her eating and all the photos. I felt completely at ease knowing Coco was in such good hands. Thank you, Shelby!

We had a great experience with Joyce! She provided drop in visits for our kitten. She was very professional, pleasant and communicative. She provided detailed entries during her visits, including photos, which made us feel so at ease. Our kitten had a great time playing with her. I felt very comfortable working with her and will definitely be using her again for future visits!

I've had Michelle take care of my cats, fish, and now seahorses for the 4th time now! She is amazing and takes care of all my husband and I's animals so well! My cats love her and she always sends the most adorable pics of my cats that always make me and my husband smile and laugh 😁😆. Will always be using her as our pet sitter for the long term! 😻 thanks again Michelle!

I couldn’t be happier with the care provided! All three of my cats were clearly well looked after and comfortable. The sitter followed all my instructions perfectly, gave them playtime, and even took the time to share detailed updates and adorable photos. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I especially appreciated her attentiveness,she noticed everything, including when Tobi had a little upset tummy, and handled it so thoughtfully. I’ll definitely be booking her again for future drop-in visits. Highly recommend!

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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
