About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up with both dogs and horses helped build a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and daily care. Today, I have two dogs of my own and spend a lot of time outdoors with them, especially hiking and staying active. Pet sitting for friends has also provided opportunities to care for dogs with different personalities and needs. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and I enjoy making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need to stay happy and healthy. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits every day except Saturday. I can accommodate mornings, afternoons, or times that best fit your pet’s routine. Whether your fur baby needs a quick check-in, feeding, or some playtime, I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As an Air Force veteran, I bring discipline, reliability, and attention to detail to every visit. I follow your instructions carefully, ensure pets are secure, and make sure their environment is safe and comfortable. During drop-in visits, I can take care of feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and even watering plants or collecting mail. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and cared for while you’re away. Even though visits take place in your home, I treat each environment with respect and make sure your pets feel relaxed and comfortable in their own space.
“Mandy was so great for me in a pinch! She worked with me to get and return my key and took care of my cat while I was gone for a few days. She was responsive and sent pictures and videos of my happy cat. I would book with her again!”
“Bonnie is an absolutely amazing human being and fabulous at what she does! My orange boy Luthen really took to her and it was so wonderful to see how well my kitto was doing while I was out of town! 10/10 absolutely would recommend Bonnie to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets while away!”
“Kayla has been wonderful with my 2 dogs. It was a busy schedule of 2xs daily visits and groomer drop off. She was there every day playing with them or soothing them through the thunderstorm. She has fed them meticulously with the multitude of additions that they get daily. The pictures showed them being very happy everytime. I am so glad I found her on Rover!”
“This is the 5th time I have had Breanna do drop-in visits for my 17 year old cat. Her care and communication is outstanding. I think Jasper is almost smiling in his daily pictures! 😻”
“Emily did a great job with my 1year old kitten and 28yr old Quaker parrot. Neither one are friendly, and don’t like strangers but it only took 1 day for them to warm up to her. This is the happiest my pets have been when we have come home from a trip. We will definitely be using Emily for all our pet sitting needs in the future. Emily was meticulous, detail oriented, followed instructions to the letter and even brought her own survey for me to fill out with questions about my pets and routine I wouldn’t have even thought to mention. Cannot recommend her services enough❤️ Thanks so much Emily!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, and cats since I was a little girl! To seven dogs in my house growing up… From massive dogs like Cane Corso’s, to chihuahua’s, they’re all big babies to me! With doggy daycare training, and experience, it makes for a proactive combination. I can lift, twist, run, bend, and messes of ALL kinds are absolutely no biggie to me! I’m currently working part-time, but plan to leave at the end of September, so my schedule will be open and available to any needs! I’m also waiting for spring semester to start, so my schedule is completely open! I have a 4x4 pin I use for my dog, since we don’t have a fence, I also take him to the dog park, and crate him when needed. So, crate’s, little quirks to keep the crate locked, all of that… trust me, I’m familiar. I’ll make sure your dog/cat is all safe and locked up before leaving, and even send proof for a sense of peace!
About: I grew up owning dogs so I know the basics for them. I more recently have gotten a cat. I have previously fostered 7 kittens at a time so I know I can handle whatever comes my way! I work full time on the weekdays so I have time on the weekends to check up and help out with your pets then! I can’t wait to meet your pets! I have watched and sat many pets for friends and families so it has given me plenty of experience. As a pet owner myself I know how to react incase of emergencies.
“Haylee was absolutely wonderful with Chestnut! She was great to work with, communicated very well, and took excellent care of him while we were away. Chestnut is a senior dog and can be a little more high maintenance, but she took his care very seriously and followed all of the instructions we left perfectly. We could tell he was very comfortable with her and well cared for. We are so happy with our experience and will definitely be using Haley again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Jurnee took excellent care of our cat while we were away. Jurnee’s attentiveness to our pet and concern for her well-being make her an excellent pet sitter. We would highly recommend Jurnee!”
“Brianna took excellent care of our 18 year old cat and 27 year old Quaker Parrot while we were away on a 3 week trip. The peace of mind her daily check ins with pictures gave me was priceless. Will definitely use her in the future and highly recommend you do as well.”
“Sarah has been great! She took care of a total of four cats which belonged to me and my friend. She is very friendly with the cats, sent timely photos and videos (which was a relief), understood the needs of our pets and understands the traditional as well as modern cat appliances which was a plus. Had a truly amazing experience.”

About: I have 22 years of animal care experience. I've owned and array of animals, and started volunteering at my local vet hospital at the age of 13. I started going to school for veterinary medicine, shadowed at several veterinary clinics, and worked my way up from Pet Care Assistant to Assistant Manager at a dog daycare and animal boarding facility. I have lots of experience administering medications, senior and special medical needs animals. Animal care is my passion. I work flexible hours from home, so I have ample time to hang out, play, and care your furbaby. I look forward to getting to know my new furry friends!

I believe in the fear free approach to animal care, and will do everything in my power to make sure your pets stay is as comfortable and stress-free as possible
“Hannah was absolutely wonderful with drop in visits for my cat Jody. I came home after a weeks vacation out-of-state to a happy and healthy cat :) I moved to this town 7 months ago and left a long time pet sitter that I trusted very much. Hannah is my new cat sitter here when I go out of town. She also sent daily pic's of my Jody. Thank you again Hannah!!!!”
About: I have experience taking care of my own pets and of family and friends while they are away from home. Reliable and trustworthy. Thank you. I'm available for pet sitting 7 days a week. Hourly, daily, weekend or longer. Flexible hours. Happy to send updates & photos while on sit. I'll take care of your pets in your home, that's where they're happiest!

About: I LOVE all dogs! I have had a dog in my life since I was 4, with large and medium sizes being my bread and butter. I know the little dogs can be timid but I can snuggle them until they tolerate me 😬. I am a millennial dog/cat mom, so you know I love scritches, belly rubs, snuggles, and giving treat-o’s. My dog doesn’t fetch but I’ll play with yours til the cows come home! I worked for a dog groomer as the bathing attendant for two summers as a kid, so if your babies need a quick bath while I’m there, depending on how they can handle it with a new person, I am available. I’m versed in giving pets medication, so no need to worry if your pupper needs a little something to help them stay healthy! I work from home full time currently, but if I need to leave during the day to go check on your fur baby/they’re on a bathroom/medication schedule, my boss is very lenient and lets me make up time. Walks would primarily only be available in the afternoons/evenings to avoid the heat around here. I am very organized and like to write down any rules/quirks/schedules that your pet needs to be on. I’m also not afraid to ask/answer questions, so if you’re open to conversations via the app, I’m your girl!

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.

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 Meet & Greet .
