About: Love all animals in general, I have cats, chickens, turkeys, pigeons and lifelong dog lover, I am dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of different sizes and personalities. I will treat your pet like family while providing safe walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and regular updates so you can feel confident while you are away. I work a rotating 24-hours-on, 48-hours-off schedule as first responder. This gives me two full days between shifts for pet care, walks, drop-in visits, and quality time. My availability varies weekly, but I keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly before accepting a booking. Pets staying with me will have a clean, comfortable, climate-controlled finished basement with plenty of room to rest and play. I will provide regular attention, exercise, feeding, bathroom breaks, and supervision while following each owner’s instructions. Safety and responsibility are always priorities, and I will send regular photos and updates.

About: I have spent majority of my life caring for a wide range of animals from dogs and cats to ducks, rodents, and reptiles. I have one beagle who loves playing with others and we would love some company for our walks and adventures. I am acclimated to cats and dogs of all ages, I am used to giving medications (including allergy injections) and pets with food sensitivities. If you have a fur baby that needs some exercise or company, my beagle and I would love to meet them for either a casual stroll through a neighborhood, a trail walk through the woods, or even for short visits to dog parks followed by soapy baths. Let me know what your pet needs are and I am happy to accommodate. On weekdays, I am available 3-7:30 most afternoons. If I am going to your home and your home happens to be near my work place, I may also occasionally be able to pop in for a short visit 9:45-10:30. At my home: Your dog has options. I have a puppy proofed kitchen that has access to a dog door with a fenced in yard. This space is separated from the rest of my home via a doggy gate and is a wonderful space where I leave my pup to play during the day while I am at work. This space has continual access to water, dog beds, toys, and the fenced in yard. Additionally, if there is a fur friend that is in need of a more private secluded space, I also have 2 medium dog crates with soft blankets and chewies. The crates will limit your pups interactions and protect them while I am away from the household for work. When I am home, the dogs will be with me throughout my entire house, they will be brought on walks, fun outdoor adventures, played with, fed, pet, they can sleep in the bed or on the floors, and they can be bathed if necessary. We can even take car rides to go out on fun hikes if you are interested in your dog having access to opportunities like that (they are our favorite.) They will continually have a beagle playmate happy to have companionship. Cats will have a secluded room to stay in, as they are often more sensitive to new spaces, and they will get plenty of snuggles and affection each day in their own private room. At your home: I will arrive in the afternoons with my beagle to play with your pups and to go on walking adventures. I can follow whatever particular protocols you have in place for your dogs, their food/med routines, etc. We will play together and spend time outside on adventures. I can take your pup with me in my car to go on hikes or we can keep the visit completely local. For cats, my dog will not come with me and I will enter the home to address whatever needs your cat may have, whether it be cleaning litter boxes or giving cans of wet food.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, from working breeds on the farm to small companion dogs, cats, and fish. I’ve pet sat for family, rescued animals, and learned that every pet has their own personality and needs. As a rescue dog mom myself, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat every animal in my care like family, whether they need playtime, extra attention, or simply a little patience and companionship. I have a very flexible schedule. Whether overnights or dropping by, Let me know what time or day you need me and I will be there. It all depends on the animals personality, and needs. I will do whatever the instructions or recommendations are with a personal touch of a whole lot of love.

About: My whole life we had cats and dogs. I have house sat for neighbors and friends with pets since I was ten years old. I currently own a rabbit. I have also cared for all kinds of rodents, fish, and reptiles. I have trained puppies and kittens and a bunny. I also cared for my older dachshund and gave him shots and necessary medications. I work part time teaching yoga throughout the week and have lots of availability. I only have custody of my kids every other week making my week without them a great time for extra hours and house sitting. I keep pets from being hungry, thirsty, or bored. I keep pets nicely groomed and their areas and things nicely cleaned. I offer direct focus and affection. I can walk or run with dogs. I love doing yoga on the floor and watching cats or my rabbit climb all over me and get affection.

About: My mom has owned a local pet sitting business for 27 years so I have lived and breathed pet sitting for my entire life. I am extremely passionate about animals and the care they receive. I have done over 800 pet sitting visits for my mom’s business and each one is done with the same love and care I give to my own pets. I am pet CPR and first aid certified. I work from home so I will have all the time in the world to give your pets all the love, care, and attention they deserve! I appreciate lots of details about your pets schedule, what they do and don’t like, how you like to spend time with them in order to make sure they are as happy and comfortable as possible while they are away from you!

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and grew up with an Akita German Shepherd mix who taught me patience, confidence, and how to read dog personalities. I used to help out at a small local rescue on weekends, mostly walking dogs and giving them baths, and it made caring for animals feel second nature. I’m gentle, reliable, and always treat pets like they’re my own. Your pet will be in loving hands with me. I’m available on weekdays during most of the day starting from today Oct 17th to Oct 23rd. I have a week off of work and am looking forward to my bookings! When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar as possible. I start by following the owner’s instructions closely such as feeding schedules, litter or potty routines, favorite toys, and any specific quirks or habits. I make sure the home stays safe and tidy, double checking doors, gates, and food portions so nothing is overlooked. I spend quality time with each pet based on what they enjoy, such as playtime, slow cuddles, or quiet company. I also give updates with photos so owners always know how their pets are doing. My goal is to make their home feel just as comfortable and secure as if their person were there.

About: I have 3 years of professional experience working in the animal industry and currently work at a veterinary hospital, where I provide hands-on care to a variety of pets every day. My experience has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, safety, and the individual needs of different pets. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including pets who may require extra patience, medication, or specialized care. Working in a veterinary environment has also taught me how to recognize changes in behavior or health and respond appropriately when a pet may not be feeling their best. When caring for your pets, my priority is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and other specific needs. You can feel confident knowing that your pets are in the care of someone with professional animal-care experience who genuinely enjoys helping animals and treating every pet as if they were my own. Depending on my schedule I work from 7am - 3pm or 8am - 5pm, before or after my regular job I am free to hang out with your fuzzy guy! I care for pets in my clients’ homes by keeping them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow each pet’s individual care instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while their owners are away. With 3 years of experience in the animal industry and my current work at a veterinary hospital, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of personalities and needs. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, or other signs that something may be wrong, and I communicate with the owner promptly if I have any concerns. I also treat my clients’ homes with the same respect and care I give their pets, keeping things clean and secure and providing updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

My three kitties were well taken care of. Luna, my moo cat, loves her. Jean-Luc welcomes her and loves his treats. My third kitty hides regardless of who visits but Alex always gets a picture of her.

Tyler provided the best service of anyone from Rover that I’ve worked with. He was very detailed with his reports on how my cats were doing. He was very thoughtful and did everything requested and more. I will 100% be booking Tyler again in the future.

Carmen and her daughter are great! They took excellent care of our cats and our various aquatic animals on two separate occasions, once for a couple of visits and once for a week straight. They sent us pictures and fun updates every visit which made being away from our pets a lot less anxiety-inducing. We will definitely be asking them to watch our pets next time we’re out of town!

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 .

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 .

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
