“It's always such a joy to work with Taysha. She's been cat sitting for both my disabled cats for about 2 years and has been awesome! My go-to sitter and highly recommend to anyone in town looking for a caring, thorough caretaker.”
About: Having a hugely flexible schedule and an affection for pets has made me the go-to sitter for a large group of friends and acquaintances for the past several years, with intermittent experience before that. I’m a freelance filmmaker and photographer and my schedule is highly flexible with lots of time I can happily devote to spending with your dog/s and/or cat/s. I don’t have any special certifications but I’ve watched dogs of varying ages and breeds, with simple and complicated needs. Happy to consider unique circumstances, but my main experience is in walking and spending time with dogs and cats.
“Mylea is amazing! She’s so sweet and my big boy absolutely loves her! Her communication is fabulous and you can tell she’s a true animal lover! We will definitely be rebooking with her!!”
“Emily did a great job of watching our old cat! She made sure he was fed, watered, cleaned his box, had social time, and kept us updated. After a long trip, we came home to a happy cat!!”
About: I've taken care of many different kinds of puppies. I have 2 puppies and can do basic training. Really good with senior dogs and keeping them safe and healthy. Can give medications or any kind. I am currently in school so it will be after school times. I can come out earlier depending on the day. I would love to work with you and your schedules as well! At your house I will follow your rules and try to take care of your pets as close to the way you do as possible. In my house animals are well taken care of and loved any time we are home and spoiled while they are out with us on adventures.
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was little, and I’ve been taking care of dogs while the neighbors were away since I was 12. I love dogs and own 5 myself, I can administer medications and just play with your dog. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I currently have a small puppy so I already have a good routine of letting her out to play, go potty and such. I only work my day job about 7 hours a day in the early morning so I’ll be able to go in the early afternoon and let your pet out and play with them every day. The pets in my home have a spacious environment to be around the family while we are home. We always watch out for our dogs when they are out of the crate and the same for any of your pets that come over to hang out.
About: I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where dogs can feel completely at home. With a fenced yard and a dog friendly household, your pup will have plenty of space to play, relax, and get the attention they deserve. I’m experienced with a variety of temperaments and energy levels, and I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs. Whether that means playtime, walks, or a calm environment, I tailor care to each individual dog. I pride myself on being dependable and communicative, sending regular updates, photos, and making sure you always feel confident your pet is in great hands. My goal is simple: a happy, safe dog and a stress free experience for you. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and playtime throughout the day. On other weekdays, I’m available in the mornings until 8am, and home by 3:00pm. I’m also available on weekends for boarding and care. I make sure every dog gets consistent care, potty breaks, and interaction based on their routine and energy level. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play, along with a dog friendly home environment. I take safety seriously and always supervise outdoor time. I have experience with different temperaments and can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I’m also able to crate dogs if that’s part of their routine. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels right at home. My teenage son is also a huge animal lover and enjoys being around the dogs, however I am always the primary caregiver and responsible for all supervision and care.
“Taylor kept us well informed & went above & beyond what we asked to both give the cats some much-deserved enrichment as well as keep them fed on their usual schedule. Would recommend Taylor to watch amy of your pets for long or short durations.”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had a huge love for them! I’m passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I do my best to follow all instructions given to me and ensure each animal receives the attention, patience, and care they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own! 🐾❤️ I work from home as a maintenance technician, which provides me with the flexibility to check on my own pets throughout the day. My schedule allows me to remain attentive to their needs and ensure they receive consistent care and attention. I take pride in being attentive, responsible, and following care instructions closely. I want the best for my own pets and believe every pet deserves the same level of care, respect, and attention. I’m committed to providing reliable, compassionate care and ensuring each pet’s needs are met!
About: You probably see it a lot on this app but ever since I was little I've had a huge love of animals. Size, age I've seen and taken care of it all. And no matter of waste scares me. All can be clean up. I just want to put my love of long walks to good use. I've even gotten my basset hound to love a hike. Currently in between jobs so fully available during the day and weekends. You just let me know the best time for your pups/other animals. I have experience with house sitting and have been taking care of at least one pet for over 20 years. I always want to make sure that the care provided is the best for each individual animal. Every animal is different but that's what makes them special.
“This was my first time using Rover, so I was a bit nervous. After our meet and greet (we could have sat and talked for hours!) I had absolutely no worries going into it. Turns out Marci was the best! She was very communicative. My house was left spotless - she went the extra mile to strip the bed and put sheets in the laundry room, empty kitty litter and trash, and left everything neat and tidy. I feel my two cats were well cared for. I will definitely have Marci house/cat sit for us again. Thanks!”
“Megan is the person we count on the most to watch our cat when we’re out of town. We know for sure that our cat will be well taken care of by a thoughtful person. Never hesitate to book Megan, she’s the best!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! Last year, I even completed a service project focused on educating others about the importance of pet enrichment and proper care. I’ll treat your furry friend like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way! I am currently a student at Weber state studying elementary education so I have my student teaching from 8am-11am. I am often available outside of these times. Your pet is safe with me, pets will stay leashed at all times unless we are in a safely locked environment. I also will practice recall often.
About: Hi, I'm Crystal! I've been an animal caretaker my whole life — mainly dogs, but growing up we had everything: dogs, cats, rats, snakes, a pig, a goat, turkeys, chickens, ducks, horses, turtles, and fish. I started really doing the work of caring for them around age 9, so I have about 15 years of hands-on experience. As an adult I've had a dog, a few cats, and some chickens. Currently I have Cocoa (my dog), my cats Tigre, Princess Cecelia, and Blue, and 2 chickens. Because I've handled so many different species over the years, I'm comfortable with all kinds of animals and personalities: shy rescues, rowdy puppies, picky cats, you name it. What sets me apart is all that variety — most sitters know dogs and cats, but I've cared for just about everything, so very little surprises me. Your pet will be in experienced, confident hands. I work from home running my own business, so I'm home most of the day and my schedule is flexible. That means lots of company, playtime, and potty breaks for boarding guests, and I can usually fit walks and drop-ins around your timing. Just message me and we'll make it work! Every owner and pet is a little different, so I start with a calm, tidy environment and let the pet set the pace. Once they get comfortable, there's more play and energy, but if they're shy, I'll never push it or do anything that scares them or makes them uneasy. I'll keep you updated on how your pet is doing throughout the stay or walk, so you never have to worry.
About: Growing up on a farm surrounded by large dogs and with parents who volunteered at Hogle Zoo, I developed a deep-seated belief that animals and wildlife are an extension of our family, deserving of our protection and care. I fostered a profound respect for all our animal friends. My hands-on experience further expanded through working with horses in equine therapy and helping my partner in her grooming salon, where I've become proficient in bathing and drying both dogs and cats. This role has sharpened my ability to recognize and respond to the subtle sensitivities of these animals, enhancing an intuitive connection with them that doesn’t stop giving. As a dedicated pet parent to my own dogs and cats, I consistently apply a compassionate and knowledgeable approach to animal welfare. I’m a Private Chef by trade and have a lot of open availability. I travel for work and can travel to you, too! A lot of my work entails paperwork I do from home, making frequent check-ins possible and welcome. As a dedicated in-home pet sitter, I offer a comprehensive and compassionate approach to animal care, ensuring your pets thrive in their familiar environment. My experience includes professional grooming(bathing and drying only. Please refer out for complete groom), allowing me to maintain your pet's comfort and hygiene. I feel really confident in caring for animals who may experience stress in new situations. I can providing a calm and reassuring presence. Beyond direct pet care, I provide meticulous attention to detail. Home is Heaven. I’m a jack of all trades and your pet sitter could include light yard care, cleaning and professional meal prep to ensure your home remains, BETTER and MORE COMFORTABLE than you left it. My commitment is to deliver reliable, stress-free care, treating your pets and home with the utmost respect and diligence. Who knows? In a time that is desperate for community, maybe we’ll make life long friends in the process.
About: I have always loved taking care of animals! I'm experienced with cats of any age (even newborns) and any care related to them. With dogs, I'm familiar with almost all ages, but especially senior dogs. I know how to give medications as well! I only give the best care possible! I take care of my 3 cats daily! I don't mind adding in dogs or cats, but any will make me happy! Animals are my passion and my first love. I will always make sure the home stays a home, but maybe neater than it was previously haha! I am mindful of what a dog (or cat) is capable of.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Haven
Emma was awesome at taking care of my cats while I was on a trip! We arranged a meet up beforehand and I could tell from the get go she loves this job, she irradiates so much love for pets, even my cats were so calm around her💜. She sent me lots of pictures of my babies too! When I got home, it was like I never left. My cats seemed happy and healthy. I would re-book in a heartbeat!
Aubrey was an amazing sitter. I contacted her with a last minute request to take care of my cat for a week, and she responded immediately. This was the longest I'd been away from my clingy kitty, but Aubrey was so nice and accommodating that I rested easy knowing Meatball was in great hands. Loved getting funny updates with cute photos/videos each visit. I'll definitely book with her again!
Candace was amazing! We wish we could give 10 stars! She took such good care of our kitties. We had her drop in each day for a week. She sent pics and very detailed visit reports each day. You can tell that Candace really loves animals and enjoys her work. Definitely recommend!

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
