“Corina is reliable and very responsive to messages. She provided excellent care to our cat and we thank her for allowing us peace of mind while away from home.”
“Laura did an amazing job taking care of my Roxie! She was able to come through last minute when a different sitter fell through at the last moment before I had to leave town. She always informed me when arriving and if there were any issues. I would highly recommend her especially if you have a senior dog. She took extra good care of her!!”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending calm, attentive time with animals and focusing on their comfort and routine. I currently live with a family dog, which has given me ongoing experience with daily care and understanding pet behavior. In the past, I also cared for a hamster, which taught me responsibility and consistency with small animals. I am especially attentive during drop-in visits and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for in their familiar environment. I’m a recent graduate currently volunteering with Animal Assisted Happiness on Sundays, with times that vary. I also receive training through San Jose Animal Care Center. My schedule is generally flexible outside of these commitments, and I’m available for drop-in pet care during the week and on other days. For drop-in visits, I provide fresh food and water, clean up after pets (including litter boxes or pads if needed), and spend time with them through companionship and light play. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while I’m there.
“Second time I've booked Ashley and just as happy this time around as the first. The cats are well cared for and healthy, and the pics showed they were always happy to see her!”
About: During high school and still to this day, I house sit and do daily check ins for my friends pets, so I spend a lot of time with animals. I am comfortable adapting to what you and your pet requires for the best experiences. I have experience feeding cats and dogs, giving oral medication, cleaning up throw up on carpets, furniture, floors, etc. I’ve cared for large dogs with a lot of energy, medium sized dogs, small sized dogs, anxious cats and dogs, and senior pets. I grew up with a lot of animals in my family and I love going on runs, walks, hikes, etc. I really just love being outside and getting active. I have two domestic short hair cats that I adopted when they were first born, and now they are two years old and thriving. I’m currently working part time at Yardhouse and need to get some more exercise. I work mostly in the afternoon on weekday and weekends, so morning walks and early afternoons are the best times I can provide services. I can also provide services late night services for emergencies and last minute situations. My schedule is flexible early morning and late nights. I am a very early riser so I am most available in the mornings. I will treat your pet and home as if it was mine. I’ll follow your exact instructions so you won’t have to worry about your pet. I’ll keep a close eye on your pet and make sure all doors and gates are closed, ensuring no risk of losing your beloved pet. Dogs and cats will stay leashed at all times when going on walks. I’ll send very detailed updates through out the day, leaving no worries about your pets safety and well being. If I sense something is wrong, I’ll give you a call immediately and take them to the vet if necessary.
“Ruiqi was so sweet! She watched our cat Gemma a couple times over the summer. She had fast replies and detailed rover cards with her visits along with pictures. Only reason for the 4 star was unfortunately because she was late occasionally; however, I would book again! I could tell our cat liked her because Ruiqi mentioned giving lots of belly rubs and Gemma is very picky about who she lets do that! ❤️”
About: I have cared for many dogs from puppyhood through their senior years. I understand medication schedules and the special care older dogs may need, including help with walking and specific dietary requirements. I also use training exercises to channel a puppy’s energy into positive behavior. I am currently a stay-at-home dad seeking work during and after my son’s school hours. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate a variety of needs. My home is pet-friendly and well suited for senior dogs. I have a 12-year-old husky who is friendly and welcoming. The property is fully fenced and secure.
“We used Amanda for drop on visits for our three FurBabies. We appreciated how she was able to handle the three of their different personalities. She was a pleasure to work with and very patient as they’d get excited as she walked in. She was very calm and didn’t react to their excitement which helped calm them down. We highly recommend her and would definitely use her again. We hope you do the same and trust her with your babies.”
“We were leaving abroad for about two months. I’m very grateful to have found Weichen on Rover to take care of my cat. Weichen was very easy to communicate with and always thoughtful and considerate throughout the entire time. I really appreciated the care and attention given to my cat, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I’m very grateful for the help and would absolutely trust Weichen to take care of my cat again in the future. I highly recommend Weichen to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter on Rover.”
“I highly recommend Dana for any pet sitting needs! She was an AMAZING pet sitter for our 3 fur babies! Dana has such a calm presence, the animals just gravitate to her. Even our cat engaged with her on the first "meet and greet" visit and he normally hides from strangers. In addition, Dana was able to brush our Collie, who HATES being brushed. She truly cared for our pets as if they were her own and on top of all that, she takes great pictures (our Golden is such a ham). We looked forward to her updates and pictures each day. I know our pets will be excited to see her when we book with her again!”
About: I've had a love and passion for animals for as long as I can remember. I've been working in veterinary medicine for over five years and have gained a lot of valuable information and experiences that have helped me become a better caretaker for my own pets and for others. I believe it’s our job to provide our pets with the proper love, attention, stimulation (mentally and physically) and care that they need. We are their caretakers and biggest advocates. I hope to use all my skills to give each animal in my care what they need and deserve and bring assurance to all pet parents that I am here for you and your pets! The fortunate side of working in veterinary medicine is that pets are allowed at the office! Outside of work, I enjoy taking the dogs in my care on long walks and to the park, or just cuddling at home. I am active daily and love to have company! Any pet under my supervision will get the attention and care they need whether that's through walks and lots of play time or maybe some cuddle sessions. I understand that each pet is different and depending on what they need, I’m happy to adapt. Every pet that stays with me will receive love as if they were my own.
About: Proud companion of Bruno, my 6 year old black lab! Love going on walks, playing fetch, hikes, or whatever gets your dog physically active while you’re away! I have a super flexible schedule during the week, so I’m able to fit in where needed. I’m completely free on Mondays and Fridays for recurring walks and visits. I enjoy being able to be active with our furry friends. I’m aware of my surroundings, safe, and will take great care of the pups while making sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need.
About: I love all animals with a very special place for dogs in my heart and have been taking care of them( including puppies and seniors) since I was 8. I am are very passionate about pet sitting and I mostly do it for pleasure than business. I absolutely enjoy their company and shower them with lots of love. I grew up taking care of dogs, cats and other animals. My grandmother was an animal lover and always used to take care of wounded strays. I grew up under her care and the animal lover in me thank her for instilling empathy towards all living beings in me. I am a volunteer with a few animal rescues and that has been such a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Nothing can beat the joy one gets seeing a rescued animal wag his/her tail once they realize they are in safe and loving hands. I am used to taking care of dogs with severe anxiety and also have experience taking care of dogs post surgery. I have two dogs of my own and they are my children and mean the world to me. They are the most sweetest and well behaved dogs and I am so proud of them. I have a 2 year old and he loves his four legged siblings so much and is very gentle with them. I love all the animals in my care as I would my own and try my best to return the unconditional love that they generously shower on us. I always keep multiple water bowls filled. All the treats I give the dogs are high quality and made in the USA. I can teach your furbaby to do tricks(sit, spin, roll over etc) if that is something you would like. I use very tiny pieces of shredded organic chicken as treats for motivating the dogs while training them for the same. If your dog is on a special diet I can also cook for him/her. I am currently working remotely and shall be home all the time to take care of your furbabies. I can take them out for regular potty breaks, walks etc and also can provide potty training if required. Lots of cuddles and snuggles can be expected. :) We live in a town home and I have a fenced back yard. My two dogs can keep your lovely pooch company while with us. My dogs are not crated but if required I can do it for your's during nap times if that is what works for you. I shall take them out for regular potty breaks and walks. If you would like to video call and see your furbaby please let me know and we could do that. I can assure you that I will take good care of your fur baby.
About: I do have my own horses in which I care for everyday. I’ve also had other pets before as ducks, bunnies, hamsters, etc. I am currently in school to proceed further in my career for veterinary medicine. I currently do work at veterinary clinic in which I’ve learned a lot and have been very passionate about my job. My family and friends rely on me when it comes to siting their furry babies. I am currently working part time and in school. I am free anytime after 1:15 PM. I would love to watch any pup and would be able to work around schedules if needed! I do a have a backyard with some space to have some play time, and potty time. I also have an area inside my home where your furry baby can be if needed to be crated. I did have my furry baby who unfortunately passed away but was living his best life in and outside of my home.
“Amanda was amazing! She agreed to care for my two kitties with short notice (I had to travel pretty immediately for a family emergency). She was communicative and took excellent care of the babies. Would re-book Amanda in a heartbeat!”
“Stephanie’s attention to important details shows that she really listens to her clients. Everything I shared with her in our meet and greet has been met or exceeded! I’m so glad we found her and I don’t have a worry or hover over my rover account because I know she’s got it covered. Thank for the piece of mind so I can enjoy my time away.”

“Elsa did great with our 3 kitties. They were well taken care of care and seemed to really enjoy her. She followed all our care instructions and even provided troubleshooting for our litter robot. Would absolutely work with her again.”
“In the 13th hour, after having a sitter cancel on day 1 of my trip, Meara was incredibly flexible and was able to make room in her schedule to help care for Chicken and Pookie. While the kitties were under her care, she invested time to get to know them. She went above and beyond to not only communicate their needs but their emotional states. If you're looking for a sitter that cares and love your pets, Meara is the person for you!”

Riley was absolutely wonderful with Ivy while I was on holiday. She took such great care of her and treated her like family. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about Ivy, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I came home to a happy, well fed and watered, well-cared-for pup. I highly recommend Riley!
Galina took the best care of Nova for our week trip. We were able to fully relax knowing she was in the best hands. I can always tell Galina is a true dog lover because of how my Nova looks forward to seeing her. Thank you Galina for giving us such a peaceful break and showing Nova so much love. <3
Rachel was a major factor in my ability to enjoy a fun filled extended Wedding weekend in Texas. Rachel showed confidence & a “can do” attitude during our initial meet and greet which carried through my entire away time. I found my stress level about my special needs cat pretty much nonexistent with Rachel providing updates on each of her visits. Rachel established a relationship with Moe ( my cat ) which isn’t easy to do and performed all duties to the highest level. I recommend Rachel without hesitation.
We used Amanda for drop on visits for our three FurBabies. We appreciated how she was able to handle the three of their different personalities. She was a pleasure to work with and very patient as they’d get excited as she walked in. She was very calm and didn’t react to their excitement which helped calm them down. We highly recommend her and would definitely use her again. We hope you do the same and trust her with your babies.
We needed a pet sitter on extremely short notice when our original sitter had an accident while we were far away from home. We were panicking about what to do with our two cats, but Thao stepped in and accepted my request right away. The relief we felt was immediate! She quickly followed every single feeding and care instruction perfectly and catered to all of our specific requests for our cats. On top of giving our cats great care, she went above and beyond by keeping the house clean and bringing our delivery packages inside. Having someone this reliable, attentive, and thoughtful made our travel completely stress-free. We cannot thank Thao enough and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter!
Channing was fantastic with my 2 dogs. They are large breeds, a Rottweiler and a pit bull, she was great with them and made me feel comfortable while I was away on my trip. I got lots of pictures and updates during her visit. She is very responsive and professional. 100% recommend.
I needed someone to come in the mornings to feed my cats. Tyler was available after my original Rover booking canceled on me at the last minute. He checked in with me before leaving each day to make sure that I didn't need anything else. I appreciated the status updates and follow-up questions to be as helpful as he could.
Maria does such a wonderful job. She goes above board does everything perfectly and cares very much about my cats and keeps me informed. I so appreciate her. I just wish this time I would’ve had a little more money for a tip, but I was a little short, so Maria to do a fabulous job thank you.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
