“Bianca truly went above and beyond to take care of my two kitties, she sent me daily photos and updates and even scrubbed my carpet when one of them threw up. I would 1000% book again, she did an amazing job! <3”
“Mary was very diligent to understand the care instructions for Ruby and my somewhat shy cat opened up to her very quickly. It is always nice knowing that your pet is in such caring hands when you’re away. We will definitely be using Mary again!”
“Viktoriya saved the day! Last minute drop in visit with my cat because the automatic feeder stopped working when I was out of town. She fixed the feeder, cleaned up a little mess the cat had left on the floor, and kept me up to date. Cat was hiding under the bed the whole time, but came out as soon as she left to get some food. So grateful she was available. Very professional service. Would highly recommend!”
“A pet sitting angel! I was freaking out because of a last minute cancellation from another sitter, but Alex came to my rescue and took over the booking. Turns out that the other sitter cancelling was the best thing that could have happened because Alex is everything I could ever want from a sitter. They were incredibly responsive to my messages, they gave frequent updates throughout the day complete with photos, they administered medication to both my cats, they went above and beyond to even clean up the place while I was away…but most importantly, my boys seemed to absolutely adore them! Absolutely a 10/10 ✨”

“Lisa was great, very flexible and took such good care of my cat. He was healthy and happy when I got home. Lisa’s communication was great and gave me peace of mind on my trip!”

About: I have experience in dog walking for dogs of all sorts of ages and sizes! If your dog would love a trail walk, we’re going there! If your dog prefers a sidewalk, we’re staying there! Let’s book a meet and greet! I’m currently working full time in pet care, so im fully available for all of our pets! I typically do about 3-5 dog walks a day at varying times, and if I’m pet sitting then I’m hanging out with them in between or they come along! In my clients home I try to keep a pets schedule and routine as close as I can to their daily life to reduce as much stress as possible.
“Libby took great care of Scallywag when she stayed at my house over the weekend! I could tell she was genuinely excited to play with and love on him. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve been walking and caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels for over 10 years, including puppies, seniors, and dogs with reactivity or anxiety. I’m comfortable with leash training, basic commands, and reading body language to keep walks calm and safe. Whether it’s a quick 30-minute stroll or an hour-long adventure at the park, I focus on giving each dog the exercise and attention they need. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so can’t wait to meet your dog and take them on adventures! I’m very active, former track runner and marathoner so I’m confident I’ll be able to keep up with your pup! I have a fenced back yard and multiple dog beds around my house. Always air conditioned and cool in my house so your pup will always be comfortable.
“Alissa took care of my two cats who are very people motivated. She was very responsive, proactive, and attentive! I was able to travel completely worry-free and come back home to very happy cats 🐈⬛🐈⬛ I totally recommend Alissa’s service and would not hesitate to book again!”
About: Hello! My name is Kaelin, I have over 10 years of experience caring for people’s pets. In addition to in-home care, I have worked as a veterinary assistant for over two years where I have gained advanced understanding of dog and cat behavior. My experience includes caring for dogs and cats with a wide variety of needs, everything from newborn to seniors as well as specialized care for diabetic animals, disabled pets, and pets who are more timid or reactive. Medication administration and advanced care for special needs pets are always available at no extra cost. My availability is clear for dog walking, drop-in visits to your home, nail trims and grooming for this month :) An updated schedule will be available before the end of September, and I'm hoping we can set up regular visits for your pet! I am currently unavailable for overnight sitting due to my pets needing some advanced care right now, thanks for understanding! I'd love to meet for a free consultation ahead of time, to meet your pet and discuss needs and expectations you have :) My number one rule is respect. I treat every animal and person with respect, care, and empathy. When meeting a new pet, I always go slow and take time to introduce myself. Especially when on walks, paying attention to details is of high importance to me when ensuring the safety of the pet. Taking note of things like the fit of a harness/collar, gates being closed, hazards on the sidewalk, etc. My ultimate goal is for the experience to be fun, comfortable, but most importantly safe for everyone involved.

Viktoriya saved the day! Last minute drop in visit with my cat because the automatic feeder stopped working when I was out of town. She fixed the feeder, cleaned up a little mess the cat had left on the floor, and kept me up to date. Cat was hiding under the bed the whole time, but came out as soon as she left to get some food. So grateful she was available. Very professional service. Would highly recommend!
I had Freya do a quick drop-in visit to prep her for some upcoming stays I booked. She was very attentive to my plethora of details and asked questions to ensure she understood. I was clear she really wants to provide great service and make sure my cat is well cared! It was a good beginning!
Sophia was amazing. Before the first day she came to meet us and the cats and any listened carefully for instructions about how to feed the cats and anything they needed. She asked questions about needs, food, and if they needed medicine or anything special. When the time came she was great and communicated clearly and took pictures. She went above and beyond and even did extra I didn't ask of her. I would recommend her 10/10 times and will book her again.
Casey is easily the best pet sitter we have ever had. She is communicative, caring, and attentive. Our cat’s health declined while we were out of town and she gave us detailed updates and went above and beyond to keep us informed and him comfortable. We can’t recommend her enough.

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.

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.

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 .
