“Very thoughtful and considerate care giver. I was very pleased with the service and how well she took care of things and sent me photos and feedback. Thank you Aradia for taking such great care of my cat Tiger !”
“Taryn was extremely thoughtful and responsive to all communications. When one of our pets broke the auto feeder, she stuck around until confirming we knew about the incident and was part of the solution. We greatly appreciate the care she put into each visit.”
“Mariya is hands down the best sitter I've used on Rover. She's watched my cats twice now, and both times I came home to happy, healthy cats and total peace of mind. She sent regular photo updates through the app, so I always knew exactly how they were doing while I was away. She's reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the animals in her care. She goes above and beyond every time. My cats can be a handful, and she handled them with patience and skill. I'd trust her with them anytime and will absolutely be booking her again. Highly recommend!”
“Very reliable, follows directions perfectly, responds quickly to texts, she is my number one go to for when I need help with the pets. Honestly, she makes my vacations worry free!”
“Priscilla took great care of my cat while I was away! Always sent updates and photos and responded quickly to any question or message. Very trustworthy and it was reassuring that she has a background working with animals in her career. I would definitely have her pet-sit again and highly recommend her!”
“Andria went above and beyond. She arrived on time for every visit, made sure the cats were fed and comfortable, and communicated clearly throughout her stay. On the last day, she even swept the floors without being asked. A small but truly appreciated gesture. Highly recommended.”
“Nicole has been absolutely incredible only after two weeks. My breed of dog takes time to adjust to new friends and family. Nicole has been able to patiently developed a bond to this point which we are confident will grow in time. This deserves mention and to be brought to the attention of others.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a natural love and connection with them. My experience includes walking and caring for dogs at an animal shelter, working at a dog hotel where I was responsible for the daily care and supervision of multiple dogs, and raising and caring for puppies and dogs of my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand how important it is for each dog to receive patience, attention, exercise, and individual care. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I have a day job from 9-5 but I’m flexible and am able to make pet care a consistent part of my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week after 5, and I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs, so caring for pets fits naturally into my day. I’m also reliable with schedules and make sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I am mostly available on weekends at any time. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always try to keep them comfortable and on their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, playtime, and any specific habits or preferences their pet has. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also respecting their space. I’m responsible, attentive, and always make sure pets are safe and well cared for before I leave.
About: I have experience with many different size and age dogs, since I have a big dog family at home. This comes with a lot of training as well. I’m very active, so I love to go on walks and runs with my dogs. I am a student, but my schedule is mostly flexible. I do spend some time at home and the time I’m not home, I’m in class. The weekends are free for me. I live in a pet-loving home, so there is no stress having a guest over! Dogs can be in their cage or if it is more comfortable to be without a cage that is perfectly fine as well. I also have the option of boarding or day care without my dogs.
“Jennifer is amazing! She’s super kind to Pretzel, very professional, punctual, friendly and communicative. Pretzel starts off a little shy and she was patient with him. She goes above and beyond for your fur baby.”
“Livia is the best! Very attentive and kept us informed at all times with videos and pictures. She is very caring and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pet.”
About: I truly love animals, especially the snuggly ones! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from tiny Chihuahuas to Great Danes and Bullies, and I love getting to know what makes each pet unique. I’m also comfortable caring for cats, including hypoallergenic and lower-allergen breeds. My daughter is allergic to cats, so I’m familiar with being thoughtful about allergy-friendly environments and routines. I have experience giving pets medication and following specific feeding and care instructions. I previously made homemade dog food for a Bully using organ meats, vegetables, and grains, so I’m very comfortable with special diets, meal preparation, and pets who need a little extra attention. Birds are close to my heart as well. I’ve cared for parrots and had my own cockatiel for 18 years. He lived to be 21 years old, so I understand the patience, consistency, and specialized care birds require. One important note: I have a severe flea allergy, so pets must be current on appropriate flea prevention before staying with me or receiving care in my home. Most of all, I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and spoiled while their people are away. Whether your pet wants walks and playtime or would rather curl up next to me for snuggles, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’m a self-employed single mom to a 13-year-old, so I have a flexible schedule and can easily work pet care into our daily routine. Animals are very therapeutic for both of us, and having them around feels natural and comforting in our home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I keep the environment calm, clean, and comfortable, and I always take time to let pets adjust at their own pace. Safety is very important to me, so I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, food restrictions, and anything else specific to your pet. I also believe in good communication and will keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well cared for.
About: I’ve been working with dogs past years of my life, as you can see in the pictures, more than a job, it’s my life mission. Your dog will not find a better place to stay, or to walk and play. Let’s talk. My husband and I are in home office because of Covid19, this is my part time job, so you can have peace of mind, I’ll do my best for your dog. I have a pet friendly space at home and outside home. There’s a beautiful fully equipped dog park at my door step. You’re welcome to come and see.
“She took very good care of my little dog today. She was kind, patient, and attentive. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. I truly appreciate her help and would definitely recommend her.”

I avidly seek new experiences, and walking or caring for any animal has always been one of my favorites. Raising animals is not new to me, and neither is taking care of one that needs medical attention, or a scheduled medication. I don't think ill ever spend a day of my life not wanting to care for any animal, and i'm more than happy to help yours!

About: I've shared my life with dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and currently have a young puppy after recently saying goodbye to my two beloved senior Bulldogs. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all ages and personalities. While I'm newer to formal pet sitting, I've cared for neighbors' dogs while they were traveling and understand how important consistency and trust are. As a registered nurse and self-employed professional, I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your home. My focus is on drop-in visits where I can provide companionship, fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks if requested, medication when appropriate, and lots of love and attention. As a self-employed entrepreneur, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits throughout the day. I can accommodate up to three visits daily for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of attention. At this time, I specialize in drop-in visits and am not available for overnight house sitting. our pet's safety and comfort are always my priority. Since I specialize in drop-in visits, your pet can remain relaxed in the familiar surroundings of your home and maintain their normal routine. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter box care, or any special needs, and I'll always make sure your home is secure before I leave. You'll receive updates and photos after each visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for most of my life. In high school, I was part of the Veterinary Science Magnet Program at Felix Varela, where I earned my CVA certification and studied veterinary science and animal care. I also spent around three years training dogs through the program. During my senior year, I completed an internship at a veterinary clinic, where I got about two years of hands-on experience working as a vet tech. I fostered throughout high school and for a while after, which gave me experience caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I have experience with pets of all different sizes and ages and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, basic training, and of course giving them plenty of attention and love. Having pets of my own, I know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of them. I currently work part-time and am also in school, but I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and other care depending on what you and your pet need. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions provided by their owner. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medications, leash safety, doors and gates, and any behavioral or medical concerns. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, and I make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

We had a wonderful experience with Taryn! She was caring, reliable, and clearly treated our cat with lots of love and attention. We received regular updates and felt completely comfortable knowing our cat was in good hands while we were away. Everything was taken care of perfectly, and our cat was happy and relaxed when we got home. We would definitely recommend her and would happily book her again!
I had a wonderful experience with José. He followed every instruction perfectly and was extremely professional throughout the entire stay. Communication was excellent, he always kept me updated and made me feel at ease while I was away. I would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommended!

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 .
