About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed their pets, and drop-ins are where I really shine. I show up, and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. I’m currently working part-time on larger projects, so the flexibility fits perfectly around drop-in visits. I can build your pet’s visits into my day without a rigid 9-to-5 schedule, and I’m happy to adjust timing to match their routine. For drop-ins, I do a full walkthrough of your home routine first so nothing feels unfamiliar to your pet. I follow your feeding, medication, and play instructions exactly as given, and I always double-check doors and gates are secure before I leave. Your pet’s comfort and safety in their own space is my top priority.

About: With 10 years of Experience in Dog Care, I strive to provide the best care possible for your fur baby. I am able to administer oral medications, trim nails, provide baths if needed to keep your pup clean, and provide daily exercise through walks and play. I also apply my knowledge in Obedience training to encourage good behavior through positive reinforcement so that your pup maintains good habits or picks up good habits during their stay. I also accept boardings and daycares in small groups of dogs to ensure your pup gets more individual attention while also being able to socialize with other dogs! I am home full time to provide your pup with the attention they deserve. I begin my days very early with a trip to the gym at 5am. Upon my return, I walk the pups in my care to get their paws moving and get their day started. All pups in my care are fed according to the schedule provided by the pet parent. My wife and I work on this together to ensure that your pup is never alone and receives consistent exercise. My children are also very gentle with Dogs and take responsibility in the care of their own dog. We treat your pup as they are part of the family. Our home is consistently kept clean to provide a great environment for your pup. We have a fenced in yard which is cleaned everyday and sprayed with OdoBan to prevent the smell of pet waste and maintain a fresh smell. All cleaning supplies are used after pups go inside for bed, and left overnight to dry so the pups start the new day with a clean yard. Our home has AC and heating so that all pups and humans are comfortable year round. Each pet parent is updated with 3 photos and 1 video per day for boarding (1 photo and 1 video for daycare). If a pet parent needs to call, messaging me first and informing me of a time I can best reach you or letting me know you need to discuss something via phone call would be the most efficient route. Messaging for quick responses will also be perfect.

About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting for ten years because I love animals! I’m very active, love to hike with dogs, and also am creating music when at home which they tend to love if they’re with me :) I am a part time sitter and am available on some holidays which has been helpful for clients in recent years. Pet sitting fits in to an ever changing and flexible schedule. I am currently at a pet friendly and peaceful residence on a quiet street. I also pet sit for neighbors in my immediate neighborhood within a 3 mile radius.

About: I’ve had my anxious baby boy black cat since he was a little foster kitten in 2020. I also grew up with a crazy maltipoo, birds, turtles, and more, so I’m very comfortable caring for all types and personalities! I’m currently working part time as a nanny for human babies, so I have plenty of odd hours to help with your fur babies too! I’m happy to follow any safety and care instructions you have. I can play with more social animals or be gentle and quiet with more anxious pets.

About: I've always had pets in my home! I'm active and love going on walks, and love getting to know dogs or cats of all ages and sizes. If you want someone to take care of your fur baby as if it were their own, I'm the right person for you! I’m a freelance set dresser and artist and just moved to LA - so I’m looking for ways to stay active and pay my rent at the same time! If I can work with animals while getting to know the city better that’s a win-win! I’m clean and dependable, so if your pet had specific needs I’m happy to learn their preferred routine! Keeping your pet and home safe and happy is a priority for me.

“Genevieve was a fantastic cat sitter. Besides being professional and accommodating—she took my booking on extremely short notice when an urgent out-of-town meeting came up—she was remarkably attentive. I received wonderful photos of my cat, Misha, as well as detailed updates on his eating and behavior. She made me feel confident that he was well cared for. I would absolutely book Genevieve again for any pet of mine. She's a superb communicator with a real gift for connecting with animals.”

“As always rachel was amazing!! She’s very communicative letting you know when she’s heading over, there, and what’s going on. Our cats had some incidents and she took care of them. She also spends time playing with them- one of our cats is more shy with strangers and she even got him out. We’re so grateful we found her as a sitter!!”

About: I grew up in a home with a dog, a cat, birds, fish, and rabbits. Throughout my life, I’ve opened my heart to many a pooch, including a beautiful epileptic Dalmation, a feisty pocket Shih Tzu (that one of my students brought to school in a backpack), an adorably lazy Bijon-Maltese mix who came to stay for a weekend and stayed 10 years -- and most recently a spirited 13 year old Terrier mix that we brought home after his person died unexpectedly. All were loved and doted upon until they crossed the rainbow bridge. The smaller ones vacationed by car, truck, and plane and were with us 24/7. I’ve often cared for my friends' dogs and am known for giving good doggy massages. I’ve also shared my space with an African Sulcata tortoise for the last 17 years. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I own a small business that allows me to come and go easily, allowing for long walks and/or lounging around. I have a fenced yard, leashes, bowls, a medium sized dog crate if necessary, lots of healthy snacks and lots of time for walks and doggie massages. In your home, I will care for your special friend as instructed. If your pooch loves toys, we will play, if snoozing is their favorite thing, I will happily sit nearby and chill too.

About: My wife has grown up with animals all her life from cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and birds ! The longest care for her cat was fifteen years. Together, we owned a pitbull mix, for 8 plus years! We took care of him ever since he was a puppy and also took care of him during his senior years. We had to administer him medicine because of his blindness at his older age. We have also provided care for the animals of our friends and family from small dogs to larger size breed. Friends and family have relied on us to walk, feed, and bathe their pets! We live in a house with a spacious backyard where we can provide loving care and fun for your beautiful pets ! We are also available 24/7! Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawaken! I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups ! I am out of work by 11AM. My wife also works from home so there will always be a friendly human at your pets side ready for whatever they need ! I have a whole fenced yard! The front yard has some grass in the front and there it is a gate preventing your pet from getting out. I can also provide a put up fence preventing your pet from getting access to the front gate. Our back yard is cemented and big enough for them to enjoy running around playing catch and playing with their favorite balls and toys ! Your pets are also welcome inside the house where we have air conditioning to stay cool and they are also welcome on the furniture and bed ! Pet bowls with bottomless water and food bowls provided at no extra cost !

About: Hi! 🐾 I’ve always been a huge animal lover, but I also think loving animals is just the starting point for being a great pet sitter. What matters most to me is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Here’s a little more about me and what I can offer: 🐶 10+ years of pet-sitting experience with dogs, cats, and bunnies! 🐶 Small-to-medium dogs are my sweet spot. I’m most comfortable caring for and walking dogs under 50 lbs, but I also have experience with dogs in the 50–70 lb range. 🐶 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, quirks, likes, dislikes, and any special instructions so they can feel as comfortable as possible. 🐶 Lots of experience with all kinds of personalities! I’ve cared for Yorkies, Beagles, rat/terrier mixes, Chihuahua mixes, cats, and bunnies, among others. At the end of the day, I want your pet to feel like they’re spending time with a trusted friend — and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾💕 📆 My availability * Monday & Friday: I work from home, so I’m available for walks and daycare throughout the day. * Tuesday–Thursday: Evening dog walks starting around 6 PM. * Weekends: I’m happy to watch your pets and give them plenty of love and attention! 🐶 Pet-friendly and convenient: My apartment is pet-friendly and super convenient for pups, with elevator access and the LA River right nearby for easy, enjoyable walks. 🐶 Lots of exercise and adventure: I’m happy to get your dog out and about! Whether that means a neighborhood walk, a trip to the dog park, a hike, or even just going out for dinner, I love giving dogs plenty of opportunities to exercise and explore. I also have a doggie car seat for small dogs and a larger backseat setup with seatbelts for bigger pups. 🐶 Cuddles, playtime, and respecting boundaries: I’m a big fan of cuddles, kisses, treats, toys, and playtime, but I’ll always respect your pet’s individual personality and boundaries. If your dog or cat isn’t a cuddler, that’s totally okay! My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and free to be themselves. 🐶 Your rules, their routine: I’m happy to spoil your pets, but I’ll always follow your instructions. Whether you have a specific feeding schedule, treat restrictions, house rules, or other preferences, I’ll make sure everything is followed carefully. 🐶 A comfortable space: My unit is approximately 1,000 sq. ft. and is always kept at a comfortable temperature for your pet. I have hardwood flooring, and they are free to explore any part of the home. 🐶 Respect for your home: If you prefer that I care for your pet in your home, I’ll always be respectful of your space and follow your house rules. 🐶 Clear communication: If there’s ever a period of time when I need to leave your pet alone for a short while, I’ll always let you know in advance. 🐶 Emergency preparedness: I’ll always ask for your emergency contact and veterinarian information so I know exactly who to contact if anything unexpected comes up.

About: I grew up with 5 big dogs, two German Shepards and three Dobermans. I love dogs. I actually love all animals. I just think they deserve all the best love and care we can give them. So that's the goal. Through out my life I have rescued, fostered and adopted many dogs and even had a wolf. Now, I only have one little hopeless romantic of a dog (small and very friendly, kind and respectful), and that there's plenty of room in the house and the backyard. I would like extend an invitation to any lucky dog or dogs that want love, good food and top notch attention and care I'm your guy. I'm home all day, most of the week. My schedule prioritizes the dogs. I don't like to leave animals unattended. That's about it. I have a spacious backyard that's safe and perfect for frolicking, playing or bathroom brakes. They have access to the house and the yard, I don't believe in keeping dogs off the furniture. So they'll pretty much do as much as you'll let me let them. I don't mind messes, but I like to keep it very clean. Water and food is always available, and if they make any request I'm keen on appeasing them.

About: Although new on Rover, I've had 17 years of experience training, caretaking, and loving my soul dog from the puppy stage and lucky enough to see her into her super senior years. My style of training is firm, but gentle and patient. I have experience in senior care as my own dog had complex epilepsy, benign skin conditions, and other chronic issues — so I know all the tricks to administer oral medications in addition to subcutaneous injections. I've also had the privilege of being a Golden Retriever "pawrent" into his elder years! Very different from my sassy Lily, but I loved all the differences. Lastly, this isn't my primary source of income, I just love having dogs around! My routine is extremely flexible. I work from home and currently on a sabbatical — so I can accommodate and prioritize your dog whether it is backyard potty breaks or long walks. I understand each dog has different needs, and I am more than happy to adjust my routine as needed. I'm usually home during the week, and go out for dinner on the weekends. Happy to work together to make sure your pup feels safe at home — or I am more than happy to take him/her with us :) Open communication and transparency are very important to me, and I expect the same from clients. I have a large backyard for easy potty breaks and prefer regular neighborhood runs or walks. I generally avoid dog parks to eliminate unnecessary safety risks. My partner works remotely from home, so there is always extra coverage and support for your pet. I am also experienced and comfortable administering medications.

I was very pleased with Tyler and how she took good care of our 19 year old cat, Sushi. She came over everyday and made sure she had food and clean water. Also scooped her little box. She gave Sushi the attention she craved, too. For the first time in 35 years we have had an issue with fleas. Unfortunately, they liked Tyler! Even though we use preventatives and home remedies, they still found their way to Tyler. For that, I’m so sorry! I’m working on a way to eradicate them once and for all. Thanks again to Tyler for being there when Sushi needed her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
