“Cade and Isabel are the best! I was so reassured having them care for Pico. They truly cared for him like he was their own! I highly recommend them to others and will be booking them again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and leaving my cat home alone for a long period of time. I was anxious and nervous, but thankfully Laura was the best! She was attentive and followed instructions clearly to take care of Thor. She made sure to always provide an in-depth description of each visit, along with pictures of him. I was so happy to receive each update and will for sure be booking Laura again in the future! If you need someone who’s attentive and follows your pet’s routine clearly, Laura is that person!!!”
About: Ive grown up with my pets my entire life from having 2 dogs, 3 cats, fish, and a snake I love all animals! I decided to join this app after helping my friends in college take care of pets they were watching through Rover and looking for extra side income after having my son roughly 3 years ago. What sets me apart from other sitters is my level of patience, I’m no stranger to the crazy energy of a pet (or toddler😂) and I can’t wait to meet your furry fam and be crazy with them too! I have experience with puppies, teenagers, and even senior dogs as well! I have availability from 3-6 pm Monday-Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday. I am willing to walk in Jonesville, Newberry, and Gainesville area. I currently only offer house drop in visits and dog walking, but I will consider other services if you are a previously established client, just message me with requests! :)
“Raegan took great care of my two cats! My cats unexpectedly got into a bag of treats making a mess and Raegan cleaned it all up and gave us peace of mind while we were away from home. She even brought in a package for us which we really appreciate. Great communication throughout and we would definetly recommend!”
“Mackenzie is very responsive, punctual, and thorough. He accepted my request for a sitter basically the day before, and I am so grateful for his flexibility. I can tell that our puppy was really comfortable in his care.”
“Danica did a great job caring for our cat! She was able to adapt to her specific needs and behavioral issues. I could really tell that she cared more about the comfort of my cat than she did about anything else. Would highly recommend!”
About: I handle pets in various conditions and ages in many settings such as animal shelters, animal control, and veterinary clinics! I’ll care for their physical or psychological needs from my experience working with dogs and cats! I’m currently trying to establish my services on a part-time basis. I’m available most weekends, and in the afternoon and evenings as on weekdays I am currently in veterinary school! I listen to what the pets need and work on their understanding. Whether that’s just being in space of one another’s, giving them their space, or giving them stimulations with walks, playing, or different enrichments!
About: My brother and I work from home, so your fur baby will get plenty of love and attention throughout their stay! I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, to include caring for senior dogs through end of life care. During the day I’m a special education tutor, so have tons of patience and empathy! I’m comfortable administering medication, caring for hot spots or other treatments to vet orders, and keeping a watchful eye while you’re away! Part time tutor, part time studying for law school, so your pup will get plenty of belly scratches and one on one attention. My dog loves being around other four legged friends, so they will have a built in bestie to run around with (or just sit around with). I either work from home or have two hour sessions with my clients. My brother lives with me, so someone will almost always be around to let the dogs out and give them plenty of love and attention. I have a fenced in backyard, with one playful and sweet young dog who loves everyone she meets. We are a very dog focused household, and are in the process of installing a doggy door so the pups can go in/out as they please (when we are home, it will be locked when out running errands).
About: With 8 years of experience as a Vet Tech and Pet sitter, I provide expert-level care for your pets. I specialize in medical administration, and safe handling of reactive animals. Whether it’s potty training a puppy or monitoring a senior pet’s health, I combine professional skill with a genuine passion for animal welfare. I work a full-time position Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, but I offer flexible pet care outside of my work hours. Drop-in Visits and Walks: Available weekday mornings before work and weekday evenings after work. I also have open availability on weekends. House & Pet Sitting: Available almost anytime on weekends, weekdays and for most holidays. I provide dedicated in-home sitting and visits only. This allows me to focus 100% of my attention on your pet's comfort and routine in the environment they know best.
About: Animals are my life. I have devoted my life to helping ensure animals are happy and healthy. I have over 10 years of experience in the veterinary field, including a state certification as a veterinary technician and an emergency and critical care specialist. Specializing in emergency medicine, I have the knowledge and ability to administer any types of medications, and to monitor for common medical conditions. I am very experienced in caring for critical patients. With a flexible schedule, I am available to take care of all kinds of pets, including exotics. I have 5 dogs, including small and large breeds, so I love all kinds! I will treat your kids like they are my own family I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to caring for your fur babies! I work 3 days a week and have 4 consecutive days off which allows me ample time for drop ins or day care for well behaved and friendly dogs. I have a fenced in yard with 4 dogs in the home who love other dogs and can help your dogs get exercise. Crates available in the home if needed.
About: I've grown up around all types of animals--from cats and dogs to birds and turtles. In fact. I think that is what inspired me to pursue a career in animal science. From the ripe age of 8, I have been my family and friends' trusted pet sitter (mostly dogs and cats) and would love to be your pet sitter as well. I'm am a college student, but your pet will have my full attention outside of class hours! Whenever I'm pet sitting, your pet becomes embedded into my daily routine, and oftentimes they'll also tag along for car rides. I try to follow the owner's care instructions exactly; however, it really depends on the pet. If your pet is more on the chill side and wants to nap, I'll chill with them. If they want to play and need a lot of enrichment time, then enrichment time we shall! I always strive to leave a place the same, if not better, as I found it, so in a client's home, that motto still applies.
About: I am a lifelong pet owner with hands-on experience caring for domestic animals. I grew up around pets and have cared for animals my whole life, so I’m comfortable with feeding routines, exercise, enrichment, behavior changes, and providing the attention animals need to feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience caring for large-breed dogs, including Great Danes, as well as wildlife rehabilitation and sanctuary animal care. I’m patient, observant, reliable, and always happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. As a UF student, my class schedule gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I have several mornings, afternoons, evenings, and most of Fridays available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I’m also able to plan around each pet’s normal routine and will always make sure I have enough time to give them the attention and care they need. I really try to make every pet feel like they’re with someone they can trust, not just someone who’s there to check a box. I’m very attentive to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level, and I always follow the owner’s instructions closely when it comes to feeding, medications, leashes, doors, gates, and anything else important to their safety. I also live in a very walkable area, so I’m happy to take dogs on neighborhood walks and, with the owner’s permission, to nearby parks for some extra exercise and enrichment. I’m also more than happy to send photos and little updates so you can feel comfortable knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can say that Catalina did above and beyond. We had an excellent experience with her. She took wonderful care of our sweet Dog at home, making sure my furry friend felt safe, comfortable, and loved. Her service was a professional one, reliable, and she was super attentive, with great communication all the time and regular updates that gave me peace of mind while we were away. She sent me videos and photos. I truly appreciate the care, patience, and affection she showed to our doggy. She provided special care since my dog was in need of administered some medications plus she did great since my doggy is elderly. Our furry one was definitely happy with Catalina around. I highly recommend her service to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. 🐾❤️”
“Peyton is wonderful! You can tell she loves dogs and Finn adored her from the start. She is very responsive, and she was diligent with her questions in order to be best prepared. Highly recommend.”
“Alfonsina was great with my special needs kitty. Super attentive and always accessible through text. Went above and beyond with house care and gave lots of love to my baby while I was gone.”
About: I have experience with puppies to adult dogs of varying energy and sizes. I can calmly handle reactivity. Experience with basic training. I care deeply for their happiness and will adjust myself to each pups personalities to give them the best attention and care they need. I currently work full time and start earlier in the morning. I am available before 7am for a stop by and available at 4:30pm to stop by or spend longer time with the fur family member. Weekends are completely open. I care for pets with care and attention. I will ask many questions regarding the current schedule the pet follows and any house rules. I will also request any specifications the pet might require or any tendencies to take note of. I will adjust for the animal’s needs to not throw them off their normal daily routines as much as possible to make them feel comfortable still in their own home.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Hills
Hannah was awesome with my cat, Gus! Gus doesn’t like a lot of new people, but Hannah was super chill and assured me they would be buddies by the time I got back from my vacation. She sent me pictures and updates daily and went above and beyond like sweeping the litter Gus loves to kick out of the box.
Evelynn was very kind when I met her during our meet and greet, and she did a wonderful job with my dog Zoe who can be quite reactive and a bit nervous at times. She was very communicative with me and followed all of my directions perfectly! Overall, she did an amazing job with both my animals!
Jillian was wonderful with our 5 kitties! She took the time to earn their trust, especially the shy ones. There were several occasions where she stayed longer to brush, pet, and play with them since we were gone for over a week. Our cats seemed happy and healthy when we returned. We'd definitely have her watch our kitties again and highly recommend her for anyone with multiple cats!
This was our second time using Raegan to drop in on our 2 cats and we highly recommend! She followed all of our care instructions and kept our home clean for when we returned and was very responsive anytime we needed to reach her. We definitely suggest using her for your pet sitting needs!
Mary Amelia was a fantastic sitter for my two cats! They took to her right away, and I could tell even from the pictures that they were fans of her. She didn’t need to, but she washed the food bowls before she left the last time. Thank you! I 100% recommend her, and I hope I’ll get to request her again soon! Thanks so much!

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. 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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
