About: My initial professional experience with animals was working at an animal hospital where I took care of dogs and cats. This work formed my adult fondness for pet care. As a teenager I had several cats and dogs in my household, and I was responsible for taking care of all of them. More recently, I have engaged in dog sitting and have been a pet-parent for the past 15 years. I am very flexible as far as my weekly routine is concerned, so I can accommodate just about any pet sitting request on very short notice. I am available for pet-sitting in your home so that your dog and/or cat (I also take care of fish) remains as comfortable as possible in the environment they are most familiar with.
About: I have taken care of many different dogs and cats for family and friends. I always had pets growing up and I currently have 3 dogs of my own. I’m currently working part-time teaching dance to the youth between 4-9pm. This leaves my whole morning/afternoon open. I do have weekend business trips here and there but most weekends are available. I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a crate for any dogs that need it. As well as extra leashes and harnesses for walks.
About: I have had animals my whole life. Dogs especially ranging from all sizes. I am sure to pay close attention to animals needs, ensure they are eating, using the restroom, and enjoying themselves! I am happy to enrich your animal, comfort, and love on them while you are away! If you have any further questions, please let me know! I am happy to help how I can! I am currently transitioning in my career and would love to stay busy by helping you and your pets! My schedule is flexible and am happy to help in anyway that best fits your situation. I am comfortable checkin in on animals throughout the day, staying with them overnight, or stopping by to feed. Any safety measures you have I will be sure to follow diligently. Caring for an animal at my home is case dependent due to the fact that I have a cat and dog at home myself.
“Yanya was great to work with as we needed dog care for our Goldendoodle at our campsite while we enjoyed a 10-hour train ride into ONT. Yanya was responsive, on-time, spent the entire hour with the dog walking and playing with her, and sent some great pictures/videos. I would definitely use her again if needed while in the area!”
“Bethanie was super responsive, professional and left no room for worry in the caretaking of our five four-legged kids while we attended our daughter's wedding in Michigan! She was also kind enough to help tech-challenged me with the Rover app as well as sending photos during our time away?. Very impressed and grateful!”
“Nannette did a great job with my cats! They are very shy but were comfortable with her and came out each time she visited. She was consistent in her visits and sent great pics so I knew all was well. Thank you!”

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.

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.

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.
