About: Animal lover alert! I have a deep love and connection for all living things, especially cats and dogs. I currently have three, yes THREE, cats of my own. I grew up with very large dogs, and spent a lot of my free time sitting for friends and family. I have experience with baby animal care, including bottle feeding kittens. I have the patience and steady hand for seniors and animals that require more care. I’m not afraid to administer medication or handle behavioral issues. I am responsible, knowledgeable, and have a keen eye for detail. Above all, I love learning and spending time with pets! My schedule is currently quite flexible during the weekdays, and weekends are open for more involved care. Currently, my part time job allows me to adjust my schedule weekly, sometimes daily, since our work is project based. I have the ability to go on day-of walks or quick drop ins on demand depending on the day and time. Your house, your rules! I can accommodate whatever needs are necessary based on the type of pet you have and how your home is set up. I’m happy to uphold any routine! Special instructions are my speciality.
“Rachel took excellent care of my cat over Christmas, which I really appreciated! She followed all my instructions to the letter and made sure to give my cat her little present from me on Christmas which meant so much to me! She is very trust worthy and is great at updating me on what’s going on. She has taken care of my cat once before and I would definitely book again!”
“Elisha was great! During the meet and greet she asked good questions about Wicket's care and preferences. Although she dropped in only for a day, we will absolutely call Elisha when we need extended kitty care in the future.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my unique background, experience, and commitment to providing thoughtful, individualized care for every animal entrusted to me. I am a prior Military Police Veteran with experience working alongside K9s, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, communication, structure, and the importance of building trust and respect between a pet and their caregiver. While I have specialized experience with dogs, my love and care extend beyond just cats and dogs. I have experience caring for a variety of four legged family members and understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, routines, and ways of communicating. Whether it’s an energetic pup, a senior pet needing extra patience, or another furry companion needing attention and care, I approach each animal with the same compassion, responsibility, and respect. I have experience recognizing body language, understanding different temperaments, reinforcing positive behaviors, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable in new situations. I believe every pet deserves care that is tailored to who they are, whether they need exercise and enrichment, extra companionship, medication support, consistency with routines, or simply someone who will provide love and attention while their family is away. I am also a proud owner of three dogs of my own, which keeps me active and continuously learning about proper exercise, nutrition, routines, and the importance of consistency. Caring for my own pets has strengthened my attention to detail and my commitment to providing the same level of honesty, reliability, and love to every pet entrusted to me. My goal is to give each animal the care, patience, and companionship they deserve while giving owners peace of mind knowing their beloved family members are in capable, caring, and trustworthy hands. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine, so caring for your pet will fit in seamlessly. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of routines and timing needs, whether that’s early morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening care.I enjoy keeping dogs active with daily walks or runs of at least two miles, and I’m happy to tailor the activity level to each dog’s age, energy, and abilities. I also incorporate positive reinforcement training throughout the day, including before, during, and after mealtimes, to help reinforce good manners and build confidence.I have a reliable vehicle equipped with a dog seat cover, so I’m able to take pups on adventures to local dog parks, walking trails, or hiking spots (with owner approval). Most importantly, I’m committed to working with each pet owner’s schedule and preferences to provide consistent, dependable care that keeps both pets and their families happy. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining the routine they’re used to. I provide companionship for pets with separation anxiety, take dogs on walks to keep them happy and active, feed meals according to your instructions, and make sure they have plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to clean up any accidents or messes that may happen while you’re away. I take great pride in being clean, organized, and respectful of every home I enter. I’ll treat your home with the same care and attention I give my own, leaving it just as tidy as I found it. I understand how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away, and I’ll always provide dependable, trustworthy care for both your pets and your home.
“Alyssa is very responsive and helpful when I screwed up a booking in the app. She drops in right when she said she would and sends a nice visit card. We are happy to have found her!”
“Kathleen was amazing as always! Our Peps ate some things that she shouldn’t have and she was right on top of communicating and making sure she was ok. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Alyssa was very sweet and she treated our dog and cat like family. She sent pictures every day while we were gone and kept in touch via text and over the app. We will ask for her personally next time we have the chance!”
“Stephany is kind, professional, and communicates well and promptly. My cat is very picky (what cat isn’t but to the extreme that she will hide for lots of sitters) and loves her. Thank you, Stephany, for always being amazing!”
“Chanel was a great pet sitter for our cat and dog while we were gone. She was on time and sent us pictures and updates while we were gone. Will definitely hire her again.”
“Taylor gave us ease of mind leaving our puppy for the very first time and gave a super thorough report after her drop in, she was communicative about how Brewer did and we will definitely book her again!”
“Great job with the babies. Luca Coco and Silver were well cared for. Sydney kept me updated with her outings with the babies. I appreciated your help while I was away”
“Jenna and Jason did a wonderful job caring for my sweet dog. They were on time, very kind, and asked all the right questions. My dog can be kind of skiddish, but they made her feel very comfortable. I will absolutely be asking them again to watch our sweet pup.”
“Noel was absolutely wonderful taking care of our dog, Ursula, during her drop in visits while we were away. She provided thoughtful updates and plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our favorite part was seeing Ursula’s silly personality shine through in the pictures. It was clear she felt comfortable, happy, and had so much fun with Noel. We came home to a happy, well cared for pup and could not have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with Noel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable Rover.”
“Cameo was awesome with our dogs and more than willing to go above and beyond the scope of our contract with her. Super sweet person too! We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Amanda is ANAZING! She is always reliable and the dogs absolutely love her. She is also flexible and always communicates schedule changes. I feel so relieved knowing my dogs are in such good hands and actually loved on and cared for!”
“Krystal was an incredible pet sitter while I was out of town. She was thorough and communicative, she went above and beyond in caring for our pet family, she sent highly detailed updates and tons of wonderful photos. Highly recommended—especially for anyone anxious about leaving a pet at home.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Thornton
Julianne was a great sitter for our two cats. She was prompt with the scheduled timing, followed care instructions thoroughly and to completeness, ensured that our guys were healthy and happy, and would play with them for any extra time she had during the visits. We also really appreciated the pictures of our cats that she’d send after every visit. Our cats get antsy/restless when we get back from weekend trips when we leave extra food/water and forego a check-in, but they were clearly relaxed and calm when we got back: the best sign to see that they were well taken care of while we were away. Thank you again Julianne for your great care of Chai and Bean, and I’m sure they will see you again when we next go out of town!
Thank you, Rachel! You are amazing. I always appreciate your detailed communication while I’m away. Thank you for bringing in the packages that were delivered, as well. The pictures you sent made me feel so much better knowing the boys were well taken care of. Thank you again for the peace of mind. You’re the best! 😊
Carlie always takes the most amazing care of my cats when I’m away! I get detailed updates and plenty of pictures of them which puts my mind at ease knowing she’s the one watching them. She’s also able to give my cat his medicine even when he’s feeling picky. Would definitely recommend.
Marina was my first pet sitter, and left me feeling at ease. She took tons of pictures of my cat while I was gone, left my place in the same condition, wrote detailed notes about how my cat was doing, and even brought in a package that was delivered while I was out. I’ll be rebooking with her next time I take a trip.

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.
