“Corina is very nice and responsible. She took good care of our outdoor cat while we were out of town. She kindly proposed to take our packages inside and made sure our kitty’s bed wouldn’t get wet when it was going to rain. My overall experience working with Corina was very pleasant and I will definitely use her help again in the future.”
“Sandy was great! She took time to come over the day before to meet our boys and get comfortable with them, she arrived early and took great care of our fur babies. We would definitely call Sandy again!”
“Excellent communication with prompt replies to all of my messages. A meet and greet was proactively requested before the first dog walk which is typically something I need to ask for. Always on time for the walks. No issues at all. Would definitely use again.”
“Highly recommended. Both of them always go above and beyond and clear communication with us all the time. My cat got well taken care of during the days and liked them.”
“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: I’ve basically grown up caring for animals — I started bottle‑feeding foster puppies and kittens when I was about six, so I have roughly 15 years of hands‑on experience. I currently have five pets of my own and have been pet- and house‑sitting for neighbors and family friends for 5+ years. I’m comfortable with very young animals (bottle feeding, socialization, scheduled feedings), puppies, and senior pets. I’m reliable, attentive to each pet’s routine, and treat every animal as if they were my own — whether that means long energetic walks, supervised play, or quiet care for a recovering or older pet. I am currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I am available for check ins, walks and over nights/ house sitting as needed! I adapt to each pet’s routine and home rules so they stay comfortable and stress‑free. In the pet’s home: - Follow the owner’s schedule for feeding, walks, play, and rest exactly. - Use provided leashes, harnesses, crates, and medications; administer meds and record times. - Keep pets on lead when going outside, pick up waste, and clean food/water bowls after meals. - Provide enrichment: play, short training/reinforcement sessions, and supervised free time. - Maintain safety: secure doors/gates, remove hazards, and monitor interactions with people/other animals. - Send regular photo/text updates and note any changes in appetite, behavior, or health. - Lock up and leave the home as found; water plants/mail as requested.
“Stephanie is so approachable and her communication is top notch. Very professional! Patrick loved her and she gave him the minute he needed to warm up to the idea. Perfect experience all around. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
“I cannot recommend Riley enough! She took care of my dog, Honeybee, over the weekend, and her updates were nothing short of amazing. Every day, I received detailed, thoughtful reports that made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She not only ensured Honeybee got plenty of exercise, fresh air, and engagement, but she also took the time to observe her moods and behaviors, adjusting their routine accordingly. From peaceful morning strolls through José Ave Park to curious moments watching birds at the harbor, her reports painted a picture of not just a caregiver, but a true companion for my pup. I loved how attentive she was to Honeybee’s hydration, food intake, and overall well-being. Plus, the little cuddle sessions before she left were such a sweet touch! It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative, Riley is the absolute best. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Courtney did an amazing job looking after our cat during the holidays. Felipe can be skittish with strangers, but Courtney took the time to meet him beforehand, and made sure he got plenty of interaction time each day. Usually it takes Felipe a few days to readjust after we go out of town. This time it was like we never left at all!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over seven years through the Wag! platform in addition to friends and family’s pups, and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Over time, I’ve discovered that I truly excel with smaller, calmer, and more mellow dogs—and that’s where my focus is for Rover. I take a gentle, attentive approach to dog care, paying close attention to each dog’s comfort level, routine, and preferences. I’m especially mindful of dogs who thrive in quieter, low-stress environments and do best with patience and consistency. Whether it’s relaxed walks, cozy companionship, or simply maintaining their normal routine, my goal is always to create a safe, low-stress experience where dogs feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is my top priority. My schedule is flexible so I may step away for some dog walks, but I am mindful of my schedule and adjust taking additional walks accordingly.
“Valentina took great care of my two senior cats while I was out of town. They were happy and well fed and cared for when I returned. She sent great updates with lots of pictures and I really appreciated that.”
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: 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.

About: I work from home full-time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I have a private courtyard and medium-sized backyard where dogs can safely relax and play. I’m patient, friendly, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with dogs — not just watching them, but actively engaging with them and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m new to Rover, but I’ve spent a lot of time caring for my cousin’s dog, including helping with basic training and good behavior. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and energy level so they get the care they need. I work from home as a freelancer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets attention throughout the day. I’m able to take breaks for walks, playtime, and check-ins, so your dog won’t be left alone for long. In my home, I have a private mid-size courtyard and a medium-sized backyard where dogs can safely get fresh air and play. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alamitos
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.
Rachel is fantastic - I recently moved to the area and work in vet med so I really know how important it is to find someone you trust! In addition, I have 3 dogs who need a bit of musical chairs rotating their outings, 2 of which are Great Danes. Despite one of the Danes barking at Rachel and the other one initially being afraid, she clearly understood them and knew how to react to have them realize she’s a friend, not a stranger, which can be really hard to come by! She’s a great big dog whisperer!
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.
Gabriel was a wonderful cat sitter for my cat, Moushi. He was always on time and paid great attention to every detail, making sure nothing was overlooked. What I especially appreciated was the time and effort he put into earning Moushi’s trust in the beginning. He was patient and genuinely cared about making her feel comfortable. It gave me great peace of mind knowing that Moushi was in such caring and reliable hands. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable cat sitter!
Corina was awesome! She took great care of our two cats. She let us know that there were ants on our cats food and she got rid of them and even gave us a good tip to keep them at bay from the food. She also helped to unstuck our robot vacuum cleaner so the house won’t be a mess when we return. Communication was great and I would highly recommend her.
Rachel did a great job taking care of our 2 cats! We had a last-minute trip come up, and she was quick to agree to watch them. One of our cats needs insulin shots twice a day, and she was comfortable giving them to him. We felt completely comfortable leaving the cats in her care and would definitely have her watch them again!

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.
