About: I have had cats and dogs in my life since I was little. I have always had a strong passion for animal care and showing all animals the love they deserve. I have put in volunteer hours at the local county fair within the barn, caring for and feeding the farm animals. I have also completed a trading course in farm animal care and veterinary medicine. I myself have two dogs and two cats and they are my whole world and I know your pets are yours too! They shouldn't have to be alone and you shouldn't have to worry about them, so let me ease both your minds! I am currently unemployed elsewhere so my schedule is extremely flexible. Mondays are the only day that I have personal events so feel free to message me for booking! I will first and foremost respect your home when I check on your pets, I am only there for the pets and whatever the pets need unless you specifically tell me otherwise for whatever reason. I will of course ease your pet if they seem stressed, take them out for necessary exercise and potty time, feed them as needed, administer whatever medication they may need at that time, and of course clean up any messes that could be made. I want to make sure they get proper socialization and exercise while they await your return, they won’t feel lonely as long as I can help it!
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, beginning with early exposure to veterinary clinics where I spent time shadowing and learning animal handling and care from a young age. This foundation grew into professional veterinary technician experience, where I worked with dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs, including senior pets, puppies, and animals requiring daily medications or specialized care. In addition to my veterinary background, I volunteered with a service dog organization where I raised and trained future guide dogs. This experience strengthened my skills in leash training, socialization, crate training, and positive reinforcement methods while working with high-expectation working dogs in real-world environments. I also actively continue dog training as a personal passion and have earned three AKC Trick Dog titles with my own dog. Because of this, I’m very comfortable working with energetic dogs, reinforcing basic obedience, and providing structured enrichment during walks and visits. I currently share my home with two dogs and a cat, so I understand day-to-day pet care, multi-pet dynamics, and the importance of consistency and routine. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is always to provide safe, reliable, and attentive care whether that means a structured walk, a drop-in visit, medication administration, or simply making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I structure my day around consistency and flexibility. I am able to accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon visits, as well as regular walking schedules and drop-in care throughout the week. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can prioritize pet care visits and ensure pets receive attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship on time. I’m used to building my day around routines, whether that’s scheduled walks, feeding times, or medication needs. I value clear communication and reliability, and I make it a priority to be punctual and consistent with every visit so pets feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific care needs. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets receive attention, fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and any required medication. I also take time to provide companionship and help pets feel calm and comfortable before leaving. For dog walking, I focus on safe, structured walks that match the dog’s energy level and needs. I pay close attention to leash manners, surroundings, and each dog’s comfort level to ensure a positive experience. I always treat each home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and provide updates so owners feel informed and confident while they are away.

About: I grew up with animals ranging from cats all the way up to horses. I grew up with jack russell terriers, so dogs with a little extra “personality” do not bother me! I love dogs of all sizes and have a very good understanding of dog behavior, body language, and overall knowledge. I am CPR certified for animals as well! I work part time and am able to set my own schedule, so I’ll be able to work around the schedule you and your fur baby needs! Whatever needs your pet requires, they will each be met. Each pet’s care will be personally tailored to their specific needs, personality, and their wants.
“So kind and thorough! My dog has anxiety that can lead to biting, and Brianna was so good with him, and my 2 cats! Very fast responses that I really appreciated. Followed all instructions and cleaned. Definitely will rebook!”


“Very pleased with the care that James gave my dog! He showed up on time, followed everything I asked, and made the whole experience stress-free. It really put me at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely use him again!”

“Abby was very kind and attentive to our pups. She made sure to contact us with any information regarding them that she felt we needed to know. Will for sure be a repeat client of hers.”

“Jonathan is fantastic. He is our “go to” sitter for our elderly cats. The last time he sat for us was a last minute request; our grandson was born two weeks early and I had just come from a vet visit where my vet suggested I watch one of my two cats to make sure she continued to get better after receiving a shot. I was a wreck; we visited our daughter over Thanksgiving, and even though it was last minute and over a holiday, as always, Jonathan immediately responded “no problem; be happy to; been missing those two.” His pictures show how comfortable my cats feel with him and when we come home they welcome us rather than “destroy things” (any cat owner will understand). He also immediately responded to my panicked texts asking how they were doing. He is wonderful!! You will be very happy if you use him. Thank you Jonathan.”

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 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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. 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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
