“Morgan was absolutely wonderful! She followed all of my instructions perfectly and went above and beyond by vacuuming the apartment before she left.

About: I have been pet sitting on-and-off since I was 11 years old and have experience volunteering for veterinary offices and exotic animal rescues. I have a regular schedule with set hours and work not far from my home. I would be able to perform these services before work, mid-day (lunch breaks), and after work I am wide-open to help your pets feel comfortable and loved. We are a home to a loveable Cockapoo who enjoys the safety of our fenced-in yard and has access to all but one room.
“Rashana was super communicative and respectful of the things we needed done for our cat while we were out of town. Her kindness really separates her from everyone else on Rover and exemplifies professionalism. Will book Rashana from now on with any of our pet-sitting needs.”
About: Hi there! My name is Payton, and if your pet could pick their own sitter, I’d like to think we’d be best friends. 😊 I’m a certified canine trainer with experience ranging from basic obedience all the way to working dogs trained in tracking, scent detection, and behavior modification. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, shy dogs, and even the occasional spicy dog that isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I also have a background in veterinary medicine, so I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets recovering from procedures, and keeping a close eye on any special needs your pet may have. When your pet is in my care, they’re treated like family. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, so I make it a point to send plenty of photos, updates, and little messages so you know exactly how they’re doing while you’re away. Whether your dog wants to play fetch, your cat wants someone to respect their personal space, or your pet just needs a reliable friend while you’re gone, I’d love to help. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! A little about my schedule: I work at a pediatric dental clinic during the week, but I have a long lunch break that allows me to return home and let pets out, provide potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, check-ins, and feedings throughout the day. Thursdays and Fridays are shorter workdays for me, and I’m off on weekends and most holidays. Creating a safe and comfortable environment is my top priority, whether your pet is in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. In my home, I use secure kennels to provide pets with a cozy, structured space, especially during rest periods or overnight stays. For transport, I have two large, crash-tested Ruffland kennels in my vehicle to ensure every ride is as safe as possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I take every effort to follow your instructions to the letter. I believe consistency is key, so I maintain your pet’s routine, from feeding times and walks to their favorite toys or sleeping spots. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness always come first.
“Megan was amazing! It was my first time using Rover and she made it incredibly simple. Our cat, Ursa, has trouble using the litter box sometimes but Megan knew exactly how to handle it and gave us some tips on what we can do for her in our home. She will be our go-to when we go out and f town.”
“I couldn't be happier with Meah's cat-sitting service for my 2 fur babies. She showed so much patience with my cats, ensuring they were comfortable and cared for. Plus, she left everything clean and neat. I will definitely be hiring her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals in a veterinary class I attended for a couple years. I enjoy being there for their needs. I work part time so I have days where I can gladly be with them and even after work I’d love to be with them too. I would have the clients pet stay in areas where the owner wants and need for it to be. I’ll keep them in the right area. Play and care for them while cleaning anything they do.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sydney
Angela took an amazing care of our two kitties while we were away. It was very reassuring to know that they were in good hands and it also definitely helped with the guilt of leaving them alone while we traveled. We’ll definitely reach out to Angela the next time we need someone to check on the cats and we strongly recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a reliable, trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

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 .
