“Madie was awesome! Accommodated a last minute request and provided great communication the entire time I was away. Would definitely use her services again.”
About: I have a huge passion for animals and wildlife and am a very active and dependable person. I have 10+ years of experience taking care of pets from dogs, cats, lizards, rabbits, fish, you name it! I have also helped care for monarch butterflies at work, raising,tagging, and letting them go! I dog walked for a short period of time when I was younger and have taken care of my sisters dogs for long periods of time. I currently have 6 kitties who I love and care for so much! I am friendly, passionate, and communicative, I treat all pets with a high amount of care, they are family! I currently work full time as a land conservation assistant. Right now I am available weeknight evenings anytime after 4 pm work best for me, as well as any time (mornings or evenings) during the weekend days Sat-Sun. I have experience distributing medicine both pill and liquid forms to mine and others animals. And have also taken care of many outdoor cats, setting up insulated shelters with straw, feeding, etc. I take my sisters dogs for walks often, and have walked plenty of dogs. I have a huge love for walking myself, my favorite downtime activity, so they will get lots of exercise if that’s what you’re looking for! I can crate, walk, play, feed, and give medicine to any pet that needs.
About: I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you a peace of mind while you’re away by treating your pet like my own and providing quality care. You can expect clear communication, timely updates and LOTSSS of pictures!! I am a full time medical assistant so my availability is from Monday-Friday after 4:30 pm. I am available all day on weekends! Pets under my care get more than just the basics. Your pet will receive attention, playtime, enrichment and the care they’re used to receiving at home.
“Jocelyn is our go-to person when we need someone to care for our 2 cats! She always shows up on time, gives the cats lots of love, and provides good updates during the visits!”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have always been the one to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and cared for. I’m currently a proud cat mom to two cats who are quite literally my children, I truly believe pets are family and deserve all the love in the world. ❤️ My friends and family regularly trust me to look after their pets because they know how much I genuinely love animals. I even originally dreamed of becoming a veterinarian before pursuing my passion for fashion design! No matter what kind of pet you have, I’ll treat them like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them all the love and attention they deserve! 🐾 I work from home half of the week, which gives me extra flexibility to spend time with your pets! On weekends, I’m usually home spending time with my two cats, so I’d love to have some extra furry friends to keep me company. I’m happy to coordinate schedules and make sure your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority! If watching a dog in my home, my cats will be put in a separate room for every pets well being! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll be sure to follow your instructions carefully. I’ll keep your home clean, make sure your pets have fresh water, food, exercise, and plenty of affection, and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same love and respect I give my own two cats!
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for 15 years. I have also worked at a vet clinic on kennel stuff and have administrated medication for both cats and dogs. I am currently working part time, and I’m in the process of starting my own business at home so I will be home mostly all day. At home I have a fenced in backyard with lots of room to run. I have a car that I can take dogs to the park and walk as well as being able to get to clients houses. I take care of all animals as if they are my own.
About: I’ve been walking with another app, and I absolutely love it! I have a few regular clients I see, but I would love to add a few more fur babies to my daily agenda :) I’m currently saving for my wedding, and I’m a stay at home mom, so every dollar is greatly appreciated! :) I promise your babies are in great hands. I’m currently a stay at home, with more than enough time on my hands! Honestly taking care of the fur babies brings me so much joy, while I can still enjoy the freedoms of not having a “9-5” job. I’m very thankful for each and every opportunity’ The most safe!!! I’m a mom and I have eyes like a hawk! They are in great hands. I truly take a lot of pride in the work that I do, and I know each and every fur baby is irreplaceable and I treat them as such :)
About: I have experience in home health care for the elderly, often providing support that extends to their pets as well. My experience with pets have been primarily dog walking for clients, feeding, pet/home maintenance I’m currently making myself entirely open to this experience into pet care as to making this my career. I enjoy being connected more with present life, and I feel as taking care of animals would set me on that track. I offered care to pets by fulfilling their needs, wants, and offering companionship. I also intend on extending care to making the environment more hygienic for the pet.
“Allie was amazing and attentive to all our requests. She followed up with us punctually on how our cat was doing, updated us on when she was heading over/out, and was even successful in playing with our picky cat. We were extremely happy with Allie and would highly recommend her!”
“Isabella visited us to get acquainted with our cats and so I could point out their food, water and litter supplies. Everything went smoothly, and our teo boys were well cared for during the three days we were gone. I will definitely use her again.”

Krystal watched my 2 cats every other day for over 3 weeks. They warmed up to her very quickly. You can tell she loves cats and enjoys spending time with them. Even with my crazy schedule, she was able to accommodate me. She is a great communicator, and I will be using Krystal again.

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.

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 .
