“Marjorie was absolutely amazing! She is highly responsive and took the extra time to patiently befriend my skittish kitty. She also made sure to play with my other kitty during every visit and even watered my outside plants as an extra bonus. I highly recommend her!”
“Leigh is an amazing cat sitter! She truly loves cats and they love her back. She goes above and beyond so that you can feel comfortable leaving your cats when you need to leave them in her care. She communicates well with you and is so friendly. I’m sad I won’t have her anymore, as I am moving to a new area. I’ll be lucky if I can find someone as realizable and caring as Leigh.”
“Courtney was incredibly helpful and was a wonderful backup when our normal Care wasn’t available. We appreciate how prompt she was and communicative during her visits. Thank you for being so kind and loving to our babies!”
About: After proudly serving in the military, I decided it was time for a change. Changing careers has opened up my schedule, giving me the opportunity to fill my time with activities I truly enjoy—especially spending quality time with the purest type of love you can get from your fur babies. I have a natural instinct to be protective. Your fur babies will be in good hands with me. I’m comfortable staying calm and stepping in when situations become stressful, including separating dogs if a conflict occurs. I also have some background experience in law enforcement. The reason I mention this is because, with me, you’re not only getting a dog sitter—you’re also getting someone you can trust to look after your home while you’re away. Safety is always my number one priority to those around me. As you look through my photos, you’ll notice several dogs I’ve known and cared for since they were puppies. I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to family, friends, and coworkers over the years. This is simply my first time offering those services through an app. I’d be more than happy to share stories about some of my favorite four-legged friends if you’d like to continue the conversation. They all hold a special place in my heart, and I genuinely loved spending time with them. The Siberian Husky in the photos is my sweet fur baby, Niko. It has been a couple of years since his passing, but he will always have a special place in my heart. Niko was a very loving and gentle Husky. He got along with everyone, loved wrestling with other dogs at the dog park, and enjoyed going on long walks. He was also by my side through some of the hardest times in my life. I’m not quite ready to take on the full responsibility of owning another dog, but I would absolutely love the opportunity to build a special bond with your fur baby. I hope to give them the same love, attention, and companionship I gave Niko. Working a full time job. I can possibly do Thursday evenings. I have some Fridays off/get off early from work. I’m off Saturdays and Sundays. I can be even more flexible, depending on location. I have had dogs stay with me in the past, but I am currently renting and unable to provide that service as of now. I’m available to provide love and care to your fur baby in your home, if you’d like.
About: I grew up in a pet loving home, where at any given time we had at least two cats and one dog living under our roof. As young as 12 years old, I was entrusted by neighbors to pet sit, and I took part in caring for and training my own family pets. I now have 4 cats and a dog of my own, and I promise to love and care for your fur babies as I would for my own. I’m currently working part time as a dog groomer, however my schedule is very unstructured, so it changes from week to week. Usually however, I’m only working 2-3 days a week, which leaves my schedule wide open to spend my days with your fur babies! I am unable to care for any additional animals in my own home, however I would be more than happy to watch your babies in your home! I would ensure your home was treated with respect and would do my part in keeping it clean. I’d be able to crate your pups if desired, as well as clean litter boxes, as well as any other care-taking tasks required.
“Maddy was awesome!!! She took care of our cat as her own. She has a special touch because our cat doesn’t like anyone, but she accepted Maddy as part of the family. I will use Maddy again and I highly recommend her. She is professional and trustworthy.”
“Hailey was amazing and took such great care of my dog while I was away. She was very responsive which i really appreciated and sent pictures whenever she got the chance. I highly recommend her. Thank you so much Hailey for taking good care of karma for me!”
“Caroline took amazing care of my girl, Stella. She was attentive to Stella’s needs and gave her the cuddles she requested each drop in visit. We will definitely have her back!”

Marjorie was absolutely amazing! She is highly responsive and took the extra time to patiently befriend my skittish kitty. She also made sure to play with my other kitty during every visit and even watered my outside plants as an extra bonus. I highly recommend her!
Short notice for a 10-day stretch of twice-a-day drop-ins for my kitty over the holiday. Picture through the app at every visit. Came home to a non-stressed kitty who was still happy to see me, but not irritated that his schedule was off -- I now have a lot to live up to!
Nadia was the absolute greatest! Went above and beyond for our cat (Chino)! She took care of her and showed her so much love for a whole week and also cleaned for us as well! Nadia provides lots of details and kept my wife and I updated on everything as well. Definitely recommend Nadia!!

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.

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 .
