“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!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since before I can remember! I’ve befriended dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities and temperaments (mostly medium-small breeds but I’m not afraid of big dogs!). My friend who is a professional pet sitter defers to me when they need someone to watch their fur babies (one of which is a reactive cattle breed). I’ve assisted with elderly dogs and helped to raise puppies and kittens from birth. Currently caring for a mother and kitten pair as a rescue effort, and co-parenting 2 lively pups! I am a recent UF graduate with a very flexible/open schedule. Pet visits and walks are a very welcome interruption to the typical daily hustle and bustle. As a caretaker I always try my best to learn the personality of your furry friend. I love getting to know animals and forming positive relationships for the best experience while their owner(s)/people are away. I try my best to keep things neat and tidy and at the very least the same way I found them! I’m more than happy to talk regarding any special instructions or circumstances for your pet or home.
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! :)
About: I’ve owned and walked dogs since I was 7, house sat and pet sat since 2011, and grown up with pets my whole life. I love big dogs, small dogs, medium dogs, all dogs. Helped my grandmother train her border collie and am perfectly happy throwing a stick or ball for a dog for an hour straight. Will also happily curl up with an animal and give them as much love and attention as they need! I’m currently a stay at home parent, so my schedule is very flexible to come walk, feed, care for your pet. I’m available for overnight stays but won’t be able to be at your home all day. My two-year-old accompanies me on dog walks between 8am-6pm, but never on early morning, evening, or overnight visits. I care for pets in your home as per your request. I will only let animals out leash-free if you have a fenced in yard or we are at a dog park. Otherwise, I only take your animal out on a leash.
“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!”
“Morgan took excellent care of our pup Wiley for a whole month while we were away. So glad to have her care for our fur baby 😊 I highly recommend Morgan for anyone who needs someone to help care for their pets!”

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.

“Rachel was an excellent cat sitter! She was timely, followed instructions and played and spent time with my cat. I have never felt more comfortable leaving my cat at home for a while. I will definitely use Rachel again! Thank you.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over eight years and have raised two of my own from puppies, training them myself and building a strong bond. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes—small, medium, and large—and can handle walks, baths, feeding schedules, and medication reliably. I love spending time playing, training, and cuddling with dogs, and I treat every pup as if they were my own, giving them love, attention, and care while their owners are away. Pets are an important part of my daily and weekly routine. On weekdays, I’m at school from 8 AM to 1-5 PM, depending on the day but outside of those hours I spend my time walking, feeding, playing with, and cuddling pets. On weekends, I’m fully available to give pets the attention, care, and love they need. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared-for no matter the day, and I enjoy incorporating them into my regular schedule so they always have consistent companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort above all else. I follow any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner, including feeding, medication, and exercise schedules. I make sure the environment is secure, clean, and pet-friendly, and I closely supervise pets to prevent accidents or stress. My goal is to provide a calm, loving, and trustworthy presence so that both pets and owners feel confident and at ease while I’m caring for them.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12. I have had the honor of spending life with three kitties and two dogs. Many families have relied on me to take care of their fur babies while they vacation. I am available to care for fur babies while their parents take on their busy schedule. I have a passion for learning and understanding all walks of animals. Safety and trust is big for me. My goal for all of my pet friends, is to feel comfortable and excited each and every visit.
About: I currently own an Australian Shepherd, so i understand the importance of activities and mental stimulation a dog needs to be happy, calm, and healthy. Im currently almost always available, which means ill be able to help out as much as possible when it comes to pet care and house sitting. I am used to crate training which is needed for my dog when we run errands, as well as making a safe and fun environment for animals so they don't get bored and start being naughty and mischievous.
“Kate was great and I will definitely be using her again in the future! She responds quickly, is very understanding, and was available for me in a pinch. A lot of people are intimidated by Geno's size, and he still very much has a lot of "puppy energy" in him, so it's not always easy to find someone who embraces a big furry dog. Her drop in visit was perfect, and Geno was thrilled!”
About: I've had around 10 years of pet sitting different animals like dogs, cats, hermit crabs, fish, bearded dragons, and rabbits. When I lived in North Carolina I was known in my neighborhood to pet sit and would take care of many animals, with one house having five dogs and two cats! I also have had in depth experience with cats and dogs, as I own a cat, and I worked for my neighbor helping groom and give dogs baths quite often! I've always been around animals even when I was young, and started pet sitting once I was 8 as I was very close with my neighbor and she couldn't take her dog everywhere. Being around so many animals, I have learned how to give pills, especially the most stubborn I've dealt with being my own cat! Currently I am a full time college student, with 3 hours worth of classes from Monday through Thursday. With those days being nice and short, I can stop anywhere to visit before and after my classes! With caring for animals that I do not own, I always put them on a clean slate of behavior, meaning I enjoy being adaptable to every animal I meet, as they all have different personalities. I understand that for most of us, our pets are apart of the family, and Im not sure about you, but if I dont give my cat the best treatment and environment, I feel very guilty and immediately fix whatever could make the environment not seem comfortable or proper. I also prefer meeting the animal through meeting the owner before pet sitting, as I don't want them to feel super threatened by me and so they'll understand I am just a visitor. With new animals I meet, I tend to move slow and unless they approach me and show that they trust me, I avoid pushing their boundaries and allowing them to be comfortable with me in their environment. I used to have a family where Id babysit their dog and two cats, and the first few times I visited, I would do the basic tasks, and then take the dog on the walk. Once they all were comfortable with me and enjoyed my presence, Id take her to the back yard and played with her for around an hour or until she was worn out and ready to sleep. The cats even let me play with them too about a day after they saw the dog showed she trusted me, and the family was overjoyed to finally have found a pet sitter that kept them all happy while they were gone.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Hills
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!

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
