“Veronika was a great sport about a somewhat irregular cat sitting gig of looking after a semi-stray cat I have been feeding for several months. She sounded honestly happy and pleased the one time she saw the cat in the yard. Very reliable and easy to work with.”
“Aleksandra did a great job with Sunny! She was attentive to his needs and made sure he was fed, his litter box was scooped, and that he was well cared for each day. She made sure to give him lots of play time as well and provided detailed updates on the Rover cards with how he was doing each day. I would highly recommend Aleksandra with taking care of your pet!”
“Mink was in wonderful hands with Adam and Fang! They were very patient, welcoming hosts and it looked like all 3 of them had a wonderful time together. Adam sent us multiple videos every day which we really appreciated. Leaving Mink during trips is never easy, but we felt confident he was well cared for at Adam's house. Thank you Adam and Fang!”
About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of them since before I can remember! This includes watching my neighbors’ dogs, as well as my relatives. I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available most weekday evenings and am also available most weekends. I provide attentive, reliable care in your pet’s own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow your routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of affection. I keep your home tidy, send regular updates, and make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: My experience caring for family pets began at 16 years old. A noteworthy pet sitting involved caring for a household with one female dog, her six newly born puppies, two adolescent dogs, and a senior dog for a week and a half. I believe this highs shows my ability to handle diverse pet household needs. Also, I have gained some experience in pet care for cats since October 2023. I work 12-hour shifts from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and every other Wednesday. I am available every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, along with every other Wednesday. I can inform you if I have that week's Wednesday off or not when you send your request. As a pet owner of a dog and a cat, I understand that each pet requires a unique approach to their daily habits and needs. I will stand by your instructions for the care of your pet(s), with the consideration I expect when others care for my own pets when I'm away. I hold no judgment over their care needs.
About: I’ve been around and caring for pets for as long as I can remember. I have 6 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m currently a full-time college student, so my schedule is mostly based around my classes. I have plenty of free time outside of class and am available for pet sitting, walks, and check-ins throughout the week and on weekends. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I have experience caring for pets and will follow your routine, instructions, and any special needs closely. I also have cats of my own that I absolutely love!
“christina was very communicative and she sent me so many photos throughout the day. she was very responsive when i had texted her. i would trust her to take care of your pet. thank you christina!!”
“Bridget was amazing! We have a diabetic cat that needed shots twice a day and two others. Bridget was super communicative, had great summaries and took lots of pictures to help us feel better about being away for so long. All of our instructions were followed and the cats were well taken care of. We will definitely be using Bridget's services in the future.”
About: I am an animal lover through and through! I started pet sitting for family and loved it so much I decided to make it a job! I have experience with overnight sitting of anxious pups that require medication administration as well as dog walking with both small and large breeds. I have two indoor cats that I have been responsible for since kittens. I’m a first year college student at ASU and taking minimal classes so what better way to fill my time in then playing and watching animals! I keep my cats indoor and if requested I will make sure any animal is kept inside by owners request. Need to go outside? Love walking! I will take your dogs around the block!
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, turtles, and fish, and I currently have two dogs of my own: a 7-year-old Standard Poodle and a 3-year-old mutt. I previously cared for a senior rescue dog, so I’m experienced with pets who need extra patience, consistency, and care. I’ve trained my own dogs and am comfortable with everything from long walks and dog park trips to detailed meal prep, medications, and specific sleep routines. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, whether that means helping a shy cat slowly feel comfortable or keeping an energetic dog happy and engaged. I’m also a strong communicator and believe pet parents should feel confident and informed while they’re away. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and any details that help you feel connected to your pet and reassured that they’re receiving great care. I love getting to know each pet as an individual and providing the same thoughtful, reliable care I’d want for my own animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely, which gives me flexibility throughout the workweek for check-ins, feeding, playtime, walks, and potty breaks. I’m used to building pet care into my schedule and maintaining consistent routines so pets feel comfortable and secure. I also have a reliable vehicle, making it easy to provide drop-ins, walks, or transportation when needed. Whether your pet needs a quick midday visit, extra playtime, medication support, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’m able to provide dependable and attentive care. I provide care in your home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I understand that staying home can be especially important for pets who are anxious, older, have medical needs, or simply feel safest in their own space. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, personality, and preferences, including feeding routines, medications, exercise needs, play styles, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep things clean and consistent, and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, cared for, and loved while keeping their routine as close to normal as possible.
About: I have been caring for dogs since my sophomore year of high school, gaining experience with everything from training energetic puppies to supporting the unique needs of senior dogs. I am Pet CPR certified, comfortable administering medications, and skilled at providing safe, attentive, and loving care tailored to each dog’s personality and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I am currently in school and only have in-person classes Monday through Wednesday. This gives me plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the rest of the week, including weekends, to dedicate time to caring for pets and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they need. I live in a dog-friendly apartment where pets are welcome and safe, and I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in my home. When visiting clients’ homes, I am always respectful of their space and follow their routines closely. I’m also happy to accommodate extra requests, like watering plants or bringing in mail, to help give peace of mind while they’re away.
“So kind and caring and went above and beyond taking care of my cats!! She treated them like her own pets. 1000% recommend Crystal, I will definitely be contacting her again in the future when I need a pet sitter!”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and had other animals like turtles, hamsters, guinea pig and cats but size doesn’t matter to me. I’m free pretty much most days I work online and have classes online so I’m able to be home all day if needed by you. I’ve had animals all my life and I love them all to death. My dog of 14 years recently passed away a couple of months ago so I looking to get more experience with any animal.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats ever since I was able to be left home alone. Often times taking care of my parent’s pets, most of whom were energetic labs, over weekends while my parents were out of town. Into adulthood I’ve continued to take care of my parent’s and friend’s animals. I’ve volunteered at my hometown’s Humane Society taking care of animals from puppies and kittens to seniors. I am a responsible person who will make sure that your baby is well looked for and will provide a safe and comforting experience for them while they are in my care. I currently work part time in the evenings and weekends. Making my schedule perfect for when you need a sitter while you’re at work! I also have a few gaps a few weeks in the year where I can be more available for your pet! Not only have I pet sit before but I’ve also house sat a few times.

Veronika did a great job taking care of my daughter's Diabetic cat Milo and Kidney disease cat Jackson. Milo needed insulin shots every 12 hours. Veronika took care of that, played with the cats, and communicated flawlessly before and throughout the booking . Daughter already approached Veronika about upcoming trip.
Alyssa’s ‘interview’ process was so detailed and thorough that I felt comfortable from the start. The notes she shared and communication back and forth was 5 stars! I can tell the cats were happy to have visits from Alyssa because there is nothing knocked over and no signs of stress from the cats like litter kicked out of boxes or vomit. Her updates include pictures and a summary of the booking. I hope she is available to book for future trips!
Audrey was absolutely wonderful with our two cats! This was the first time my husband and I had someone outside of family or friends watch our boys, so we were a little nervous. From the moment we met Audrey, though, we felt comfortable knowing they would be in great hands. She is so kind and friendly, and our boys took to her right away! She was prompt, communicative, followed all of our care instructions, and spent time playing with the boys during her visits. We especially appreciated all the photos and detailed updates she sent us each time she visited. Hearing about their treats, playtime, and how happy they seemed was so reassuring while we were away! We could tell from the updates and when we got home that our boys were happy and well cared for. Audrey is trustworthy and caring, and we will absolutely book with her again whenever we’re out of town. We can’t recommend her enough! ☺️
Kathleen was wonderful taking care of my elderly cat who required both oral and injection medicine twice a day. Her communication was excellent including lots of photos for each drop-in visit. She also helped ensure packages left on my doorstep made it inside. My cat was very happy in Kathleen’s care, and I will certainly book her services again!
Sara is AMAZING. She is always on time and our cats know and love her. They actually come out and see her when she drops in (two of them are pretty shy with anyone else). We get the sweetest updates with each visit. 100/10 recommend Sara! Knowing how well our kitties are cared for truly provides peace of mind when we travel. Thank you, Sara!
Alma was absolutely amazing. I contacted her on short notice after my cat needed emergency surgery just before I was going out of town. Luckily she was available because she was nothing short of amazing! She took such great care of my kitties and went the extra mile to ease my thoughts! Highly recommend!!

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.

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 .
