About: I have professional experience working in veterinary medicine and providing compassionate, attentive care to animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. Through my experience, I have developed skills in recognizing changes in behavior, safely handling pets, administering medications when directed, monitoring overall health and comfort, and helping reduce stress during care. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in experienced and caring hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–6:00 PM, with Thursdays and weekends off, but I still make time to provide dependable pet care around my schedule. I’m available for morning drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care when planned in advance, and have greater flexibility on Thursdays and weekends for longer visits, walks, and quality time. I understand how important routines are for pets and will work with owners to make sure their pets receive consistent, attentive care that fits their needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. With my background in veterinary medicine and hands-on animal care experience, I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and treating every animal with patience and respect. I work to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away, and I provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and experienced hands.

About: Since I was little I've always had a dog to care for. Not a moment goes by where I’m not thinking of an animal . I have experience with puppy potty training, and elderly dogs. I’m comfortable with walks and park time :) Pet care fits right into my routine because I am home a lot with my son. But we also love hiking and adventure. So the dogs can join us! This allows lot of outdoor time and exercise. I live with my so there are always extra hands. My mom doesn’t work right now so there is always someone in the house to keep your animal company if I have to work. Which is only a few hours a few days a week. My mom is Mia and is an approved rover sitter on my profile :) I love keeping the dogs active and letting them play. I have a large fenced in yard with a doggy door so they can always feel free to use the potty or get some fresh air. Plus park visits! I treat my dogs like guests. They can join me to cuddle on the couch or bed ❤️ their comfort is my top priority so they feel safe while you’re out of town .

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - University Heights
Christopher was fantastic! He was super responsive throughout our trip, sent great photos and updates, and we came home to a house in great shape and a happy cat — or at least as happy as a cat can be when his people have had the nerve to leave him for a week. We felt completely comfortable knowing everything was in good hands. We’ll absolutely book with Christopher again, if he’ll have us!
Jason was punctual and made sure to always send me photos of my cats while I was gone. I had been dealing with some anxiety about leaving my geriatric cat alone while I was on vacation but with Jasons thorough check ins I felt at ease knowing they were all in good hands. I definitely will be using him again for my next trips away from home to ensure I can relax without worrying about my kitties. Thanks Jason! Go Pacers!
Nicole really helped us last minute when we ent out of town. Even when there was an issue with the app, she contacted us to make sure she was administering the medication how it needed to be. One of our cats who is typically shy around new people came right up to her!
Stacey is phenomenal — incredibly professional and full of love and care. We did a meet and greet, and the questions she asked clearly indicated to me that my pets would be in great hands while I was away. She provided thorough updates and photos. She managed my cat Genevieve having some litterbox protests with grace and understanding. She created fun playtime with my two dogs and their toys as well as going “fishing” for the kitty cat, G’s favorite form of play. All went so well, and I had such peace of mind. I highly recommend Stacey!
Ty was wonderful and very thoughtful. He spent a good amount of time with our cat and was always punctual. Momo, who is quite shy, actually played with him and was able to build trust with him. When we got back, the house was exactly how we had left it. He was prompt with communication and sent us pictures of our pet during each visit. We would definitely hire Ty again for future needs.
Paola was great with our cats. They have to be fed separately and with care and she was more than able to accomplish that. She was able to routinely locate our cat that likes to hide. Our skittish cat even got some pets from her! Paola always made sure to send us pictures and updates and really kept us in the loop and helped ease our minds. We knew our pets were in good hands.

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.
