“Ericka was wonderful! Our cat got sick during the visit and she kept us updated with such care and concern, even offering to take him to the vet if needed. We appreciate her and will request her again!”
About: Being around animals brings me joy and I want them to feel at ease because I know they are missing their pet parents. My calm, patient and kind personality will be comforting to your pet. I’ve given medications and have cared for many types of dogs and cats as well as chickens, birds and a duck! I am also very conscientious about safety, being on time and keeping your home tidy. When you return home it will be as you left it and to happy pets! I am recently retired, therefore my schedule is flexible daily, including weekends and overnights. Let me know what your needs are and I will do my best to accommodate. I can pet sit in your home. I do not have my own pets but family members I live with have 2 cats that I often help care for. Safety and caring for your home and pets are important to me. You will return to a tidy home. I am happy to discuss how to accommodate your needs.
About: Cozy area, lots of attention, run with dog, walk around yard, can meet my dogs! Lots of playtime, food & water, outside time. I’ve owned dogs for over 10 years in my family, I’ve dogsat before in a clients home for a week, whom was also a diabetic, so I had to also give insulin. I am a huge dog lover, and always love being around them. We can go to dog parks, take plenty of walks around the neighborhood, and have great treats! I hope to provide great hospitality for your dog or dogs, and have them enjoy their time just as much as I would be. By letting me watch your dogs, I will make sure we all have the best time together! **please ask about availability during the week as the options on here aren’t the best** I have a full time job during the week.. On weekdays I am usually available on Mondays after 6pm, Tuesdays after 5pm, and Fridays after 5pm! Weekends vary, I’ll do my best to keep my calendar updated! It depends on what the client wants me to do to care for them!

About: I’ve taken responsibility of my own pets in my family for 10 years. Dog sat for my aunt for two years. Grew up with a Border Collie and two Dobermans! Trained my families new edition corgi, chow chow, and kelpie Shepard mix who’s now 2 years of age. I work part time as a college student finishing up my second semester before summer break. I’d love to walk or check in on any furry friends before/after my lectures and final semester!! I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment, following each pet’s routine closely. I respect their individual needs, ensure secure spaces, and give gentle, attentive care with regular updates.
About: Over the years, I've provided in home pet sitting for friends, family, handling everything from feeding and exercise schedules to attentive, overnight care. My experience includes managing households such as long term care for two large dogs and two cats simultaneously, alongside my own dog. I know how to navigate different animal personalities, keep up with high-energy breeds, and ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well loved. Whether hosting pets for boarding or stopping by for house sitting and visits, I treat every pet as if they were my own! I'll be happy to take care of a pet other than a dog or cat as well💕 I have a really flexible setup, I've got plenty of open, dedicated time throughout the week for walks, feeding times, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I keep my calendar organized so your pets always get my full, unhurried attention.. whether that means extra playtime, timely potty breaks, or just hanging out together. I always keep things secure, double checking doors, gates, and keeping food/treats tucked away safely. I take the time to get to know every pet's unique personality, stick right to your routine, and keep a close eye on them during outdoor time and play. Plus, I love sending frequent photo updates so you always know your fur baby is happy and having a great time!
“Jennifer was great! She was very attentive and caring towards our cat, Luci, during the five days we were out of town. Luci did not get herself into trouble during that time, and I am very grateful Jennifer was there to check up on her. I would definitely recommend Jennifer’s pet services!”
“Hannah was fantastic! She came three times a day, was always reliable and trustworthy, and showed up even in bad weather. We have a large dog (over 100 lbs) and felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. We’ve used Hannah multiple times and never worry when we’re away. Highly recommend!”
“Claudia was great with my pup. She is punctual, great with communication and an awesome dog sitter. My pup was very excited to have her stop by. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Alex was fantastic... super kind and caring to Allie. This was my first time having a cat sitter that was a "stranger" so I was a bit uneasy at first. But rest assure your pet is in good hands. Not once did I have to worry if Allie was being treated well or fed properly. Alex was really great with checking in and giving us updates. 10/10!”

“Just a wonderful experience with Jennifer! We went to visit my sister, who was having surgery due to stage 3 breast cancer and it was especially important that we had someone who cared for our kitties as well as she did so we wouldn't have to worry. She asked all the right questions on her first visit and showed sincere concern for the cats' well-being. Aside from daily care for the cats, she also sent frequent updates and photos. We highly recommend Jennifer and will definitely call on her again! Many, many thanks!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Bay Shore
My cat Blackie is a Ferrel cat that was found in the woods near our home. Needless to say, he has some issues and was very difficult to socialize. I don't feel comfortable leaving him with just anyone. Erika has proven to be very gentle and kind with Blackie. He lets her sit with him, pet him and brush his hair. She has also gone over and above with Blackie, in one instance when my husband and I had a cruise planned, Blackie decided to disappear outside. Instead of not showing up, Erika still came over during her regularly scheduled hours to look for him and about 3-4 days into the cruise she did find him, and he came in for her which was a big relief for me. I also feel that she is trustworthy and do not worry when she is in my home. In summary, I would highly recommend her and believe she is very good at her job.
Kristin is professional, reliable & a very obvious pet lover. My pet takes a long time to warm up to people, and Kristin gained her trust by being consistent, loving and caring. She gave me peace of mind with helpful updates, pictures and consistency. She also treated my home with immense respect, by keeping things tidy, taking out the trash and even helping with some daily house chores. I absolutely trust her and would book with her again!

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.
