About: I am a passionate animal advocate dedicated to rescuing, fostering, and finding loving homes for animals in need—especially those waiting in kennels. Every day, I work tirelessly to share resources and connect animals with the families they deserve. In addition to rescue work, I have a deep love for spending time with dogs. If you choose to have your dog stay with me, you can expect a highly personalized and attentive experience. I care for one client at a time, ensuring full-time companionship and individualized attention. My home is truly animal-centered. Dogs enjoy a crate-free, free-roaming environment with access to a full acre of outdoor space and 6ft fence to explore and play. We also share our home with multiple cats, so visiting dogs must be cat-friendly. Animals are at the heart of everything I do, and I would love to learn more about you and your beloved companion.

“Thank you so much for all of your help! Having Tabitha care for our pets took so much worry off of us. She did a wonderful job! We were constantly up to date and the crew was well cared for!”
“Annalise was great! She took care of my cats while I was away and gave me peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and sent thoughtful updates with photos after every visit. It was clear she genuinely cared about them and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after.”
About: From Great Danes and German Shepards to chihuahuas i’ve sat for all kinds of dogs. Senior pups and even the littles. I love getting to take care of your fur babies and of course the pur babies too. I’ve been around shy and outgoing cats and i’m happy to cater to any of your pets needs! I currently have a pretty open schedule but try to keep my calendar up to date so you know my availability as soon as I do! Unfortunately I am unable to bring any pets home with me however I’d be happy to accommodate you through walks or visits in your home!
“Estefany is such a great care taker for Ellie. She is so kind, communicates well and often and genuinely cares for our pet. I highly recommend her to anyone who is willing to give her an opportunity to care for your pet.”
About: I've been caring for animals my entire life, as I wanted to be a veterinarian growing up. I have 5 years of professional pet sitting experience and am skilled in puppy training basics (housebreaking, crate training, basic commands). I love working with shy or fearful pets and have endless patience helping them come out of their shells. My clients say I have a natural gift for reading animal body language and making pets feel safe and loved. I work part-time as a court reporter, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. I can accommodate morning, midday, evening, or overnight visits, whatever works best for your pet's routine. My remote work setup means I'm often home and can provide extended visit times or last-minute care when you need it. I'm also available on weekends and holidays when finding reliable care can be challenging. I offer flexible care options depending on your pet's needs and your preferences. Whether visiting once daily or staying overnight, I prioritize your cat's comfort by maintaining their exact routine in the familiar environment of your home. I'm conscientious about home security, keeping doors locked, preventing escapes, and never advertising my or your absence. I'm also respectful of your space, keeping everything clean and following any household guidelines you provide. Daily updates with photos give you peace of mind while you're away.
“Toneshea dropped in on my two cats for 10 days. She did great with them, followed all my instructions, and went the extra mile to rotate some of their toys and try new things since they were alone for so long. She even got my shy cat who's warry of strangers to come out her shell and seek pets and play after a few days.”
“Sydney is an excellent pet sitter! Timely, communicative and very trustworthy. My boy Marley is a thunder baby so leaving him during the New Year holiday was tough, but I felt comfort in knowing that she would follow instructions for his anxiety meds and give him all the comfort he needed. She sent lots of photos and updates on her visits each time. Thank you, Sydney!!”
About: I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter and dog walker who truly enjoys spending time with animals of all kinds. I have had pets in my life for as long as I can remember and feel very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats in a variety of routines and environments. One of my dogs lived to be 21 years old, which gave me meaningful experience caring for senior pets and understanding the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care as pets age. I am also comfortable supporting daily routines such as feedings, walks, litter box care and playtime. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication in every visit. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet owners, pay close attention to details like leashes, doors, and feeding routines, and always aim to keep pets comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured while you are away. I enjoy caring for both dogs and cats and take a calm, patient approach with every animal I meet. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and as comfortable as possible while you are away. I am available for dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats in the mornings and evenings on weekdays, with more flexible availability on weekends. I maintain a consistent schedule and recommend booking in advance when possible. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency in every visit. I take time to follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure all instructions are carefully followed, including feeding, walking, and home safety. I am mindful of securing doors, leashes, and gates, and I always provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured while your pet is in my care.
“Bianca was a great sitter! Kind and communicative throughout the entire process and took good care of our fur baby :) Appreciated that she shared updates and pictures during each drop-in visit. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Sammie is great! She is kind and always responded quickly when we reached out to her. She sent photos and updates from every visit which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely book with her again! Thank you Sammie!”
“Erin was great with my boy! She was super attentive to and provided updates throughout our time away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent care for their dog while they’re away from home.”
“Khanh was great! She sent us pictures everyday, including of her food bowl, etc. Felt very safe and reassured with our cat in her hands. She was quick and communicative and would definitely use her again!”
“It was great having Shawn take care of Princess. Shawn really took the time to learn Princess' personality and make her comfortable. Would definitely use Shawn again.”
“Peyton was amazing! We had a change in our plans resulting in us having to modify our booking. Peyton was so understanding and accommodating. We’re so thankful for helping us while we were out of town. She took great care of our pups!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little girl, and we got our first cat just a few years ago but they’ve seem to have fallen in love with me lol. My main concern is making sure your pet is happy and comfortable, doesn’t matter the situation. I’m very gentle with them and I always make sure to communicate or ask when necessary, I don’t want to assume and be wrong or not inform you if something happens. I am in college, I have classes 3 days a week, so I’m home quite a bit. I do not currently work so I’m typically free the remaining days. I volunteer/workout in my free time so I can be flexible! Just ask if a day/time works, I’ll do my best to accommodate! I’m in an apartment so I don’t have a lot of space inside. The complex does have a little fenced in dog area, and there are some dog parks in the area that I would be willing to go to if you have a more active pet. I don’t have anything toxic in the apartment, or in a place they could reach at least (medicines/rubbing alcohol, that sort of stuff). I also like going on longer walks, 20-30 min if the weather is nice.
“Fantastic as usually, Holly loves my doggo like it’s her own. Super sweet and sends me lots and pics and videos to let me know how’s she’s doing, would never use anyone else!! She’s a gem!”
About: I’ve had a love for animals as far as my memory goes! I’ve gotten lucky enough to raise and care for just about every household animal you can think of. I had the pleasure of caring for my elderly childhood blue nose pit which has shaped my experience. From providing medicine to assisting with stairs, getting into cars, ETC. I love to cuddle with couch potatoes but also am very active and enjoy playtime! I work in office 8-5 Mon-Thurs and work from home on Fridays. I’ll be available anytime after 5 Mon-Thurs and can provide full time care from Thursday night to Sunday night! As a dedicated pet sitter, my primary focus is ensuring safety and trust for both you and your fur babies. I bring a blend of experience and passion to every pet care assignment. My approach is centered on maintaining a secure and comfortable environment in your home, tailored to your specific pet’s needs! I prioritize clear communication and will provide regular updates and photo check-ins so you can feel confident and connected when away.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
