About: Hi there! I am a calm and reliable pet sitter with over five years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all sizes. I grew up with pets and have been the primary caregiver for my own animals for several years, so I understand the importance of consistency, trust, and routines for pets and their families. My natural approach is calm and quiet, which makes me especially well-suited for anxious, shy, or sensitive animals. That said, I’m always happy to match a pet’s energy—whether that means gentle companionship, playtime, or structured walks. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medications, potty and litter needs, and any specific instructions you provide. I’ll treat your home and your pets with care and respect, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. most days, and I plan pet care around consistent morning and evening visits, walks, and feedings. Outside of my work hours, I’m fully focused on providing unrushed, attentive care and sticking closely to each pet’s routine. I’m very reliable with timing, instructions, and communication, and I enjoy creating calm, comfortable experiences for pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, walk schedules, litter box and potty needs, medications, and any household guidelines you provide. I take a calm, gentle approach, letting pets set the pace for interaction, which works especially well for anxious, shy, or sensitive animals. I ensure that pets receive the right balance of attention, play, and quiet companionship tailored to their individual personalities. I also treat my clients’ homes with care and respect, providing regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I don't just care for pets as a job, animals have been a core part of my life. I have personally owned both dogs and cats, giving me years of firsthand, real-world experience. I deeply understand the unique dynamics of both species, from reading a dog's body language on a long walk to respecting a cat’s independent boundaries.Because I have raised and cared for my own animals, I know the exact level of trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. I treat every client's pet with the same patience, safety-first mindset, and individualized care that I gave my own. I am currently a college student and am not working a traditional job. This means my schedule is highly flexible and structured around my classes! Because I balance my time between my studies and my passion for animals, I can offer your pets consistent, reliable care. This setup allows me to easily accommodate midday walks, extended playtime sessions, and dedicated check-ins without the rush of a typical 9-to-5 workday. I'll be walking dogs but I'll be sure that they get adequate food and water before , during and after walks so that your pet stays happy and healthy
“I highly recommend booking Madison. She was so easy to communicate with and made me feel at ease from the start. She was accommodating, and she sent updates with pictures that showed just how comfortable my cat, Ellie, became under her care. I was able to enjoy an extended vacation without worrying about Ellie. I cannot recommend Madison enough and will absolutely book with her again.”
“Elizabeth took wonderful care of our cat, Mort. Mort clearly enjoyed play time and treats with her! She was very responsive and gave detailed updates about each visit. We would definitely be happy to ask her to watch Mort again!”
About: For the last two decades, I have dedicated myself to house sitting and pet care for those closest to me. I’ve handled everything from high-energy pups to gentle giants and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and TLC. Because I’ve worked with dogs of all different sizes and temperaments, I know how to read their body language, respect their routines, and give them exactly what they need to feel at ease. I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I'm available for day or overnights during the week and most weekends. I am very loving and hands on type with pets. We can play in the yard if it's fenced and/or go for walks. I am comfortable to administer medication if needed, as I have cared for many senior foster and my own pets.

In my client's home, I follow every rule and expectation they imply. I take extra precautions being in the client's home, as I don’t want anything to happen to any of their stuff, or their furbaby.

“Nicole was such a caring sitter for my two cats. I was away for work for 9 days and she came to my house on time, fed and changed litter daily, helped me with some light cleaning to help maintain my home. I couldn’t have been more satisfied with her love and care. I hope to have her look into my pets in the near future, she was a delight!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sugarloaf
Madison is the absolute best and has officially become our go-to sitter! She took such great care of both our dog and cat while we were away in Mammoth, and it’s such a relief knowing they’re happy, comfortable, and in such good hands while we’re gone. She’s reliable, communicative, thoughtful, and has truly been a lifesaver for our family. We’re so grateful to have found her and would recommend her in a heartbeat!
I can’t say enough about Sarah. On the initial “ get to know you“” visit, our cat was playing hard to get by hiding in our dresser. She had climbed into a drawer without our knowing. Sarah helped us look for almost an hour before we had to give up. On the day Sarah came to actually care for our dog and cat, Sarah was right on time and took wonderful photos of the fun they were having. If your schedules work, I would highly recommend you use her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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.
