“Kimberly came to our apartment for drop-in checkups on my two cats for two weeks. She did a great job communicating and making sure the cats and apartment were well taken care of. She also showed that she was willing to go the extra mile to make sure they got everything they needed if necessary. We really appreciated her help and would hire her again for future help!”
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, for myself and for my family. I have cared for neighbors dogs in their own homes as well. I have been relied on to care for others dogs by walking them, feeding them, general training, and play time. I work part time and I am a full time college student. I have mornings free and some afternoons. I will be changing my schedule soon so I will have more availability. I live in a cabin with a Forrest surrounding the house. I always go outside with my dog and enjoy long walks. I would love to walk any pups you have or do in home babysitting.
“Lyric stayed in our home for a couple nights to keep our cats company while we were gone. They were so happy when we arrived back home and seemed well taken care of. Lyric sent pictures each day and was very easy to work with. We are so appreciative to her for the last minute booking and peace of mind. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Kimmie gave me peace of mind that my fur baby would be well taken care of. She sent photos of each visit showing a happy kitty. This is the first time I have used a pet sitting service and I will definitely be using her again in the future if the need arises.”
“I’ve booked with them multiple times now, and they’re always amazing. Incredibly caring with my cat and follow all of my instructions perfectly, which gives me so much peace of mind. They’re also very thoughtful and kind with Miko, and it really shows -he genuinely enjoys their visits. I also love the pictures I receive, they make me feel so connected while I’m away. Thank you for keeping him happy!”
“Caitie is great! She did an excellent job taking care of our cats. One of our cats is very skittish and hides the whole time anyone new is around. She was out of hiding and playing with Caitie by day two, which is completely unheard of. Caitie kept our place very clean and was excellent at communicating with us. 10/10 highly recommend”
“Taylor was so great! Easy to communicate with, timely, and my doggo loved her. When we got home our dog was brushed, calm, and happy. Clearly well cared for! We would absolutely recommend her for pet sitting!”
About: I am comfortable with any size dog and love spending time with cats as well! My family has a Bernese, Doberman, and a Cane Corse and German Shepard mix so I love the big pups! I have helped take care of all our dogs as well as our cute kitty. I am currently looking for more work and will be relatively open to whatever schedule needed. I would prefer to work earlier in the day and have a evenings more open. I love to take care of my dogs and whenever taking care of them, I like to make a habit of feeding them and taking them on a walk early in the morning, and then making sure to spend time with them during the day. I always have my dogs on leash and make sure to keep water with me and reward them with treats.
About: I love cuddling and taking care of animals. I am a stay at home mom so I’m always home. I can throw toys and play with your fur baby and take them on walks.

“This is the second time Brianna has taken care of our cats, and as always, she did a fantastic job. I appreciate the care she gives them while we’re gone, and all the helpful updates. I will definitely continue to book with her!”

About: Hi! I’m a military family member living right here on Hill AFB, and I’d love to welcome your fur baby into my home! 🐾 I live in a comfortable 3-bedroom home with a fully fenced backyard, giving your pup plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away. My wife also lives with me, so your pup will have a loving, comfortable home environment. I have an 8-year-old Black Lab named Bleu and a 3-year-old domestic shorthair cat named Scat. Both are part of the family and are used to having other animals around. 🐶🐱 I understand that life doesn’t always go according to plan. Work trips, vacations, last-minute changes, emergencies, or simply needing someone you trust to watch your pup can happen with very little notice. I’m happy to work with different schedules whenever I can because I know how important it is to have someone reliable you can count on. My goal is simple: treat your dog like they’re one of mine. ❤️ I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of dogs as long as they’re house-trained, dog- and cat-friendly, and not food aggressive. Outside of those basics, I’m pretty easygoing! I’m happy to follow your normal routines, feeding instructions, medication schedules, crate preferences, and whatever helps your pup feel comfortable. While you’re away, you can expect plenty of attention, a safe home environment, backyard time, and lots of love and cuddles. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you don’t have to wonder what your fur baby is up to. 📸🐾 Whether you need a sitter for a planned vacation or something comes up at the last minute, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furbaby! Rover Profile Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I’m already used to the daily responsibilities that come with caring for pets, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, and all the little things that help pets feel comfortable and happy. One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that pets will have someone around throughout the day, so they won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to give them plenty of attention, keep an eye on them, and make sure they stay on their normal routine while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treating every pet like part of the family. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and give them plenty of love, attention, and care while they’re in my home. 🐾 Boarding & Daycare For boarding and daycare, I treat every pet that stays with me like part of the family. 🐾 My home is their home away from home, and I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, happy, and on as close to their normal routine as possible. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, play, and plenty of room to stretch their legs. Throughout the day, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and downtime. For cats, I provide a calm and comfortable environment where they can relax, explore at their own pace, and receive plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual feeding schedule, medication instructions, crate routine, sleeping arrangements, and any other care instructions you provide. I also understand that every pet has a different personality — some want to play all day, some want constant cuddles, and some simply want a quiet place to nap. I’m happy to meet each pet where they’re most comfortable. Pets staying with me will have regular supervision and companionship throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can relax knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and being well cared for. ❤️
“I can tell Taysha has such a big heart for animals and truly cares about the well being and comfort of my pets. I felt like I could trust her 100% while I was away, which made my own trip worry-free knowing she was watching over them. Thank you Taysha!”
“I booked Isela for drop-ins on my two cats while I was on a week long cruise and she was wonderful! She followed all instructions, cleaned up my cats’ messes, and even brought in a package from my porch. I will definitely book with her again next time I’m on a trip :)”
About: 🐾 New to Rover, Not to Pet Care! Hi, I’m Shelby! 👋 Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 12+ years. From playful puppies to senior pets and those with special needs, I provide patient, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. ❤️ As a Direct Support Professional, caring for others is what I do every day. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and treat your pets like family. ✨ What you can expect: 🐶 12+ years of pet care experience 💊 Medication administration 🐾 Experience with puppies, seniors & special needs 📸 Frequent photo updates 🚶 Walks, playtime & enrichment 💙 Lots of love, cuddles, and personalized care I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel overwhelming. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! 🐕🐈 I work full time swings typically 3p-10/12p it varies during the week. When I’m not working I’m a home body so your pets will have company with them most of the morning. I do know my schedule usually a month in advance so I am able to let you know before you officially book and you can decide if it works for you. I prefer to stay in their home which allows them to stay comfortable and in their own environment, new places can cause fur babies unnecessary stress and no one wants that. I prefer to keep their routine as normal as possible as well so if they get fed at 5 am I set an alarm to ensure they get fed at their normal time as well.
“John takes terrific care of Our Lennon. Gives him attention when Lennon, wants it. He takes him for walks outside on his leash to get the exercise and, make sure that he eats OK on schedule. He’s definitely a great animal care person.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Syracuse
She is a wonderful pet sitter. It is our first time leaving our cats alone for a week and we were nervous cause one of ours is too shy and he became close with her and the notes and pictures made us feel so much better that are being taken care of. I will highly recommend her and i will definitely choose her next time i want a pet sitter. The dedication and care she has towards what she does and how she does her job far exceeds what our thoughts were. We can tell it’s not just a “job” for her, what she did for us helped put all of our fears and doubts at ease. Wonderful communication, pictures on her visits and feedback even as simple as keeping a light on for our cats. She went the distance and then some. Words don’t do her justice but we pray anyone reading this review will take it to heart, we are truly blessed to have had the pleasure of working with her.
Lisa is a wonderful animal caretaker! She took very thorough notes and asked great questions, it was very clear early on that she is experienced with animal caretaking. Our cat, Shishi, is elderly, battling IBD, needs several oral medications and is a feisty gal. We went on a 6 day backcountry river trip and knew we needed someone experienced to care for her while we were away. Lisa administered all Shishi’s medications with no issues, fed her the very specific meal regimen that Shi is on, kept her company, and cleaned up after Shishi had several diarrhea accidents outside of the litter box. Lisa communicated well and sent many cute pictures. In short — Lisa is a rockstar, we will definitely hire her again and highly recommend her!
Madilynn did an amazing job watching our two cats! She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cares about animals. Our cats were happy and well taken care or, and we appreciated her updates and professionalism. We’d absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

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.

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 .
