About: Hello! I’m a long time pet lover and house sitter (of my own place) I have interacted with many pets of my friends and worked at animal shelters. My experience with pets starts in high school when I volunteered at the local animal shelter cleaning out kennels, grooming and playing with cats and dogs. I then graduated to being a pet auntie for my friends animals and then pet sitting for various clients. I love pets, they are adorable and I can’t wait until I can have my own! Until then, I guess I’ll just pet sit…. I work from home on most days, so my schedule is flexible enough to allow me to look after pets such as spending quality time, potty breaks, exercising via walks and playing with cat toys. When I care for pets in their home, I take care to read all of the instructions and look after the home. This can include administering medications, accommodating different diets and walking styles (such as the slow walkers, the sniffers, the neighborhood watchers). I make sure to leave the home the way I found it because that is what I would like if I was the pet parent.

About: I’ve been caring for my own dog for 7 years, and my love for animals has led me to volunteer at local dog shelters and care for multiple pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities and always treat them like my own. I’m very detail-oriented, organized, and committed to following each pet’s routine and any special instructions closely. I love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing extra love and attention, I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I am mainly free in the early mornings and later evenings! As long as I know the schedule ahead of time I am willing to make anything work for you and your furry friend. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I am detail-oriented and organized, ensuring your pet receives the same love and attention they’re used to while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family. I also love providing regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have pet sit my family and friends many times, I also do animal rescue and fostering for both cats and dogs which has given me a lot of experience and knowledge with animals Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I work part-time and only work half days. Outside of those hours, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to provide reliable care, accommodate various schedules, and give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need throughout the day. Always ensure when a pet is with me they have a space and comfortable space, treating them as if they were my own pets and building a bond with the pet to gain trust

About: I'am a very loving person who has a great amount of pet care experience. I make sure the pet gets all the amount of exercise and potty breaks needed. I always keep track on how the pet is and what I can do to make sure they get 100% attention! There is never any doubts nor concerns when it comes to taking care of an animal. I'am great with being fast paced if the animal is hyper and have great patience as well. I enjoy being active and outdoors, so I never get tired of walking dogs. I enjoy walking as much as I need to and even playing catch or just being outside with them. It's a great experience when you are an animal lover ! I’m currently working full time but considering my flexibility throughout the day and on weekends, I manage to sneak in my walks and check on the dogs without issues! I set a routine for my dogs as well as family dogs when my family are out of town. I will always start the morning by taking them out to potty, making sure they have water, give them a treat, and finally start walking them for at least 30 minutes.(more if they allow me to) Around 1 or 2, I will feed them and have them go outside and play. Then after work, I will take them for another walk and make sure they are all good before they eat again.

About: I love animals. I own 3 dogs and I’ve been told by strangers that their dogs have taking a liking to me. I’m very good with animals and kids too. I’ve had several dogs before so I know what a responsibility taking care of them are , but seeing them wag their little tails and jumping around is a reward. I’m an outgoing , determined , social & communicative person. I’m also very straightforward and caring. Many people have told me I’m the person they come to first if they need anything, because I’m always that person you can count on. Let’s just say I have a way with words like nobody else, and that is the reason people see me as the great person i am.

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was about 10 years old. Growing up, we frequently had both cats and dogs in the house. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for about 2 years before working there for 1 year. I have pet sat for a family every summer for the last 8 years or so and I also worked at a pet boarding place 1 summer. I'm currently working part-time so I will absolutely have time to take care of your pet! I can stay overnight and take care of a pet, and only work an average of six hours a day so I still have plenty of time to spend with a pet! I spend a lot of time hanging out with and getting to know each pet in order to meet their needs. I can play, walk, and feed pets as well as just be a calming presence if that is helpful for them.

About: What sets me apart is the personal attention, patience, and genuine care I give to every pet. I treat each animal as if they were my own and take the time to understand their unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and energy levels, including playful puppies and senior pets who may need extra patience and attention. I’m also happy to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests from owners. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and happy while you’re away. I go to college on Mondays and Wednesday one hour, and come back. Then I am always in my house. Your pets will be in great hands. I have a fenced yard, it’s quite big for the dogs to run around, well go for walks in the quiet and green neighborhood. Your dogs are going to be safe at all times.

About: I always make sure to go by the rules & routine of the owners when it comes to feedings, walks, medications, etc. If I have any questions or concerns, I contact them directly. I have taken care of many dogs & cats ranging from a variety of my friends/family members and a few neighbors. My favorite part is cuddling and/or playing with them because that just brings me joy. My job is pretty flexible, so I’ll be able to take a dog on a walk or feed any dogs or cats mid day. In my home, my cat has an area of his food & water as well as a separate area for his litter box. His sleeping area varies because he’s our spoiled boy. I make sure that if the pet makes any kind of mess that I clean it up right away with any cleaning supplies that are available and wash laundry if needed.

About: I have had animals since I was 6. I can read their body language, know what they need to function, and am willing to put in the work it requires to care for them, and/or learn how to care for them properly if they have special requests. I have had fish, dogs, birds, hamsters, and an iguana. I would consider myself patient with animals. I’m more of the type of pet owner that is willing to get out of bed at 3 a.m. because my puppy wants me to stand next to him for 3 hours. I’m the neighbor who’s always feeding the cats and dogs, and on cold nights, sometimes I’m the weird neighbor who you’ll find sitting on a porch holding a pitbull in her blanket. Basically, I LOVE animals.

“Robyn was awesome! Max is a very shy cat but he immediately took to Robyn! On top of his daily maintenance, she would sit on the floor and rub him, which was the cutest thing. She is extremely professional and I felt completely at ease with her taking care of him while I was on vacation.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and was lucky to grow up with three amazing pups — a Schnauzer, a Poodle, and a Toy Poodle. Since I was little, they were always part of my daily routine. After school, I’d spend time playing with them, and every evening after dinner, I’d take them on walks. I’ve always loved observing their behavior and moods. Whenever something seemed off, I would let my parents know right away so we could make sure they were okay. That early experience taught me to be attentive, gentle, and proactive when it comes to pet care. Being raised in a home filled with dogs, I naturally developed a strong sense of responsibility and love for animals. I treat every dog as if they were my own family. I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I'm usually available between 3 PM and 9 PM on both weekdays and weekends. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company, I’m happy to help during those hours! When caring for pets, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I enjoy playing with them using their favorite toys and taking them out for walks after meals or at scheduled times. I also love giving them gentle physical affection—whether it’s cuddling or simply sitting beside them for a good belly rub. Safety is always my top priority. I keep an eye out for anything in the environment that could be harmful, and make sure pets stay away from unsafe foods, objects, or areas around the home. My goal is to create a calm, caring space where your pet feels at ease.

About: I started dog sitting and taking dogs on walks when I was 15. I have been able to stay overnight when the owners have been out of town. I am reliable and trustworthy when it comes to taking care of pets because I would want mine to be treated the same way. I love doggies and caring for them is something I will always do! I have a part time job but whenever I’m free, I am available to go on walks for any time. I can also take them to a doggy park or stay overnight if needed. If needed I can always stay overnight with the pet at their house. I have done this several times and am trustworthy at others home and respect others privacy. I will be with the dog and make sure that they are fed and walked properly!

About: I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pet like they are part of my own family. I don't just see this as another booking on my calendar, I see your pets as family members that deserve patience, attention and care. *Schedule* My weekly schedule is pretty flexible and open, which means I get to be present, whether that's a midday walk, playtime, or just keeping your pet company so they're not alone all day. I am able to adjust my routine to meet each pets specific needs. I love that I get to make dogs feel cared for, not just checked in on. *Safety* You can rest assured your pet will be treated just like my own. I believe in open, transparent communication and will keep you updated regularly on how they're doing while you're away. I'm attentive and careful, and I'll follow your pet's care exactly the way you want it, whether that means medications, exercise, or plenty of cuddle time.

Safety is always my top priority, and my goal is simple: to keep your pet happy, healthy, and loved while you're away. Here is what I am offering (flexible on timing) 1. 30-minute dog walks: Perfect for burning off energy, getting some fresh air, and breaking up their day when you're busy or away.

Overnight dog sitting: I stay overnight with your fur baby so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care, meals, playtime, and cuddles. 3. Meet-and-greet before booking: I'm always happy to meet you and your dog beforehand (in person or over video call) so you can see how we get along, ask any questions, and feel completely comfortable before your first booking. I've been around dogs my whole life and can't imagine a home without one. I currently share mine with a Doberman and a German Shepherd/Husky mix, I've had both since they were puppies and raised them through every stage, so I'm comfortable with dogs of any size, energy level, or temperament, from calm lap dogs to high-energy pups. I've also taken care of friends' dogs over the years, so I'm used to adapting to different personalities and routines. I'm patient, active, and reliable, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that's a gentle stroll or a long walk to burn off energy. No job is too big or too small. I love keeping owners involved so you can expect photo and video updates, quick responses, and a daily recap during walks or stays, along with the flexibility to chat before booking. My schedule is open, so I'm also available for last-minute bookings.

About: I have lots of patience and am an active person. I’ve always loved taking care of dogs because I never got to own one myself so I always make sure to treat them the way I would as if they were my actual pet. When I was younger and to present, I would try my best to help the homeless pups out there by feeding them and giving some pets❤️. Always offering family members to take care of their pets when they go out of town and always leave them happy with my care. :) I have a good amount of downtime and would have some time available to watch over/ take visits for pets :). It would help me in my physical health knowing I’d have an inspo in being active. It would also help me learn about different kinds of dogs as I would love to take my interests in animals to another level. I have a big backyard that is fenced for any pet to roam freely and use restroom. I also have a decent neighborhood for me to feel safe to walk around and has a trail. My home is hardwood, no carpet. At others home, I make sure to clean pups after a walk or run outside and as well try and clean for hairs, etc.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Our three dogs aren’t always the easiest crew to manage, but she handled them incredibly well and quickly became best buds with all three. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and clearly has a great way with dogs. We came home to three happy pups and will absolutely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!

I would 100% recommend Kaitlyn B. She met and exceeded all of our expectations. She was very personable and easy to communicate with and gave us peace of mind that our dogs were in good hands while we were away. A bonus that made me smile was her daily updates that showed she was paying close attn to our dogs- she really captured each of their personalities and habits. I hope she is available next time we go out of town!

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. 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 , 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 .
