“If you're debating between using Lilianais and someone else, go with her! She’s incredibly punctual, reliable, and always super accommodating. My schedule has been unpredictable lately, but she’s consistently gone above and beyond to help with last-minute changes and additions to the schedule. My dog absolutely adores her, and it’s clear how much she cares for the pets she looks after. Lilianais is an absolute gem—I can’t recommend her enough”
“Maricella was fantastic! She dropped in on our baby during Christmas and sent us tons of photos! We are so thankful to have had her so our pup wasn’t alone. Thank you!”
“Christina treated my pets and home as if they were hers! It was such a great experience to not have to worry about my pets while away, thanks so much to Christina. ❤️”
“Brooke was amazing with my kiddos! I have Kevin, my dog, and Janet and Chowder, my two cats. They all loved her and when I got home everyone was happy and well taken care of. She let me know how they were doing and I loved all the cute photos while away ☺️ She asked all the questions when she came by to meet them beforehand and I'm very thankful for her time and how well she cared for my babies! 100% recommend for your babies too 🫶🏻”
“Suzanne was very friendly and did an excellent job caring for and loving on my cat when I was away. I will definitely keep her in mind for the future and recommend her to others.”
“Olivia was fantabulous!! I was nervous about using a service to take care of my big old guy. I have always had family and friends available to take care of my fur babies until now. After meeting Olivia, I was able to rid my anxiety. She sent lots of pics. She loved on my fur baby at each of the visits she made while I was out of town. She sent updates and even gave him his meds. I will definitely be asking her to pet sit again.”
“Monica was our first Rover sitter for our cat & she surpassed all of our expectations. We are incredibly grateful of how considerate, patient, and attentive she was with our kitten to ensure he had a good time while we were on vacation. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Ondrea is absolutely fabulous. I was nervous about leaving my Memphis with someone for the first time, but she made the whole experience super comfortable. Lots of communication and attentiveness.”
“Rebecca cared for our three cats for about a week and a half, doing drop ins every other day. She was kind and communicative from start to finish, and went above and beyond to keep us and our kitties happy including lots of playtime, topping off food and water, and even watering a plant for us and bringing packages inside. Would book her again for future travel!”
“Jaysa has been the best dog walker ever for my sweet boy Kane! I work long 12 hour shifts and she helps me out so much by stopping by to let him use the restroom and go on a walk when I can’t. He really likes her and it’s nice when I come home, he’s still tired from their walk earlier! I highly recommend! 🥰”
About: Hi, I’m Kortney! I’m a stay-at-home mom and passionate animal lover who understands that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. As the owner of both a Chihuahua and a Rottweiler, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from small companion breeds to large, high-energy dogs. I’m experienced with strong leash pullers, maintaining routines, administering oral medications, and recognizing changes in a dog’s behavior or health. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I adjust my care to fit each pet’s personality and routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. During some visits and walks, my toddler accompanies me, so I only accept bookings for dogs that are comfortable around children and are not child-reactive. This helps ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone. Your pet’s safety is my highest priority. I carefully follow all care instructions, double-check gates, doors, collars, and leashes, and always stay aware of my surroundings during walks. I take the time to build trust with every pet and create a calm, positive environment where they can feel relaxed while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and detailed Rover Cards after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing.
“She took very good care of my Pugs. Megan is always available to walk them and takes them on a good long walk. She makes sure they do not get over heated. I would recommend her to take care of your fur babies. 5 Stars..”
“Dayana, Agreed to do drop ins on REALLY SHORT notice... She was prompt, communicative and excellent in all regards. I hope the next time We require a drop in She is available.”

Could not have been happier with Brianna’s check-in visit for my cat! She was on time, took care of all of her needs, played with her, sent me photos, and even did her litter and filled her food and water bowl. She was even willing to water my plants for me! Would absolutely book again, very professional!
Anna is an exceptional pet sitter. She was always on time and very knowledgeable of administer medications to my fur babies. She have playtime with them especially with my very hyper active boy. She also very communicative. She send pictures after every visit. She is the best pet sitter I ever had. I will definitely book her again and recommend her 💯 %.
Austyn was absolutely wonderful. She sent pictures of my cats so I never had to worry about them. Very kind, very dependable, and even my shy, special needs kitty adores her. She gets 5/5 stars. I highly recommend her to anyone needing their fur babies cared for.
Barbie was so patient with my 2 very shy cats! She made sure they knew there was a person who would be there on time for meals and just be around the house for a little while every day. She sent me updates even when there wasn’t much to see but empty dinner plates. My cats were super relaxed when I got home. So they obviously didn’t have any major change in their routine while I was away. Barbie even swept up around the boxes!!! I would trust her to take care of my furry ‘kids’ any time. So pleased!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Temple stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
