“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Amanda provided for my cat during the drop-in visit. She stayed for 1 hour and 47 minutes—even though it was only supposed to be a 60 minute visit! That really shows how much she cares. She made sure my cat was fed, had clean water, cleaned the litter box, and spent quality time playing and comforting her. I received thoughtful updates and cute photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and truly dedicated pet sitter!”
About: I have been pet sitting for family and friends for quite a few years back home. I have just recently moved to this area for school and am hoping to use this platform to keep caring for animals! I am passionate about giving senior pets the best care that I can possibly give. I'm also willing to work with puppies/kitties! I am a full time student and a volunteer at a nonprofit organization! I am available every Friday-Sunday at any time. From Monday-Thursday, I am available before 10am and after 3pm. I am also willing to work at night if that is most convenient for you! I am a very cautious person and will take all necessary precautions and actions to ensure that your pet's safety is always my top priority!
“Avery = Awesome! She house-sat with two (cats) of our four animal crew and also stepped up to feed and watch over the community cats that I feed each day. It all happed with ease. I felt I could travel worry-free, which is rare! Communication was timely, helpful and respectful. Highly recommend!”
“Zihui is the best! Daily sitter for my 3 cats! I traveled out of the country for 7 days and I was so comfortable and at ease with Zihui coming over to my residence for daily drop ins. Zihui sent daily photos of my 3 cats; Her updates were very detailed with feeding schedules for each one and behavior patterns for each one. Zihui has a big heart for pets! She is very caring and within a short time she fell in love with my cats. My cats became comfortable with her. It brought joy to me knowing that my 3 babies (cats) were well taken care of. I will 100% recommend her to my family and friends . I will be booking her for future drop ins. Thank you Zihui”
“Hi Valerie, thank you so much for taking care of Tigre, I have a trip coming up in Feb 2/14-2/25 the dates are not comfirmed yet let me know if you are available. thank you Maru”
“Narin is our go to cat sitter. We planned a couple of nights out of town, however, my partner got sick so our trip was cut short. Narin was kind enough to adjust/modify the scheduled visits. I’ve said this before, but her punctuality and professionalism are top notch. Oh, and she’s a great cat sitter too! Knows how to bribe our cat out of hiding each time.”
“Thank you Albert and Catherine for your drop in visit with Danny. I was relieved to know you played ball with him, picked up after him, gave him fresh water and even pulled in my dumpster!!! You both are amazing. I surely will hire you again!!!”
About: Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priority, and I believe the best way to achieve that is by keeping things as familiar as possible. I stick closely to your pet's normal routine - feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications - so they feel safe and at ease whether you are home or away. I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely patient with all kinds of personalities. Whether your pup is high-energy and needs plenty of activity or is a more laid-back companion who just wants some quiet company, I adapt to whatever makes your pet feel most comfortable. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and understand the extra care and patience they require. From managing medications and limited mobility to providing gentle companionship and a calm environment, I am experienced in making older dogs feel comfortable, loved, and well looked after. Communication is something I take seriously. I know how much you love your pet, and I never want you to wonder how they are doing. You can count on regular updates and photos throughout the day so you always have peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. I am a freelancer who works from home with a flexible schedule, which means I am around the house throughout the day and can plan my entire routine around your pet's needs. When I am in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect. My goal is simple - to make sure your furry family member feels loved, cared for, and right at home until you return. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. As a freelancer who works from home, I have the flexibility to structure my entire day around your pet's needs. Throughout the day I take regular breaks from work to check in, play, and spend quality time with any pets in my care. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought - they are always my priority. To give your pet the best possible care, I love learning as much about them as I can before we get started. Knowing their daily routine, energy level, feeding schedule, medications, and any special needs helps me make sure they feel right at home. I also like to understand their personality - how they interact with other dogs and people, any quirks or preferences, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. The more I know about your pet, the better I can care for them the way you would
About: I have always had multiple cats since I was 10 years old and have 8 years of experience volunteering for cat and dog rescues! I currently have 6 cats and a husky/malamute mix, all rescues. Most recently, I fostered 2 husky/shepherd puppies and even puppy-proofed my yard for them to have more space to run around and play. In previous years, I have had a negative experience with having friends watch my pets, so I understand how important it is to find the right pet sitter. Pets are our children and should be treated as such. I would be honored to give your baby the best possible care and lots of love and attention! I am a full time dog and cat mom that works seasonally in entertainment, so my schedule is completely open for whatever you need! My dog gets 2 walks a day with potty breaks every 4 hours, even in the middle of the night. My cats receive a mix of dry and wet food twice a day with their water changed and litter scooped daily and plenty of cuddle time. I have a large fenced yard in a safe, suburban neighborhood for your dogs to play in. My home has multiple large rooms with cat trees and cat shelves that can be kept as a private oasis for your cat or cats if they are to stay with me.
About: I am your friendly, neighborhood, middle-aged auntie that loves and cares for pets and animals. I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, reptiles, and now poultry. I specialize in dog walks and drop in visits for all of your critters. I mainly conduct all of my own pet chores in the morning, so I can be available for your pet needs later on in the day! I carefully follow instructions to conduct my drop in visits, and I will ask for clarification if something is missing at the home. I can walk dogs and check in on reptiles, fish, mammals, and poultry.
“Y'all -- trust me when I say Susan is just the best and you are leaving your pets in the best of hands with her. She went above and beyond all of my expectations, leaving such detailed notes for each visit and clearly cared about the wellbeing of my three cats so very much. She was always super prompt and communicative, wanting to know if there was anything else she could do. My guys warmed up to her right away, even the more skittish ones. She's a real animal lover. I could not recommend her more and will definitely be asking her to watch my cats again in the future! Thank you, Susan!”
About: Hi there! My name is Michele, and I understand how important it is to find reliable caretakers you can trust. I approach dogs with care and kindness, and I pay attention. I prioritize following your instructions and making sure your dog is comfortable and safe with me. I have a deep history as a dog owner. My mom had a knack for picking up strays and taking in fosters, so I have been providing dog care my whole life. I was 9 years old when I first helped raise a litter of bottle babies, and dogs of all sizes and breeds were my brothers and sisters as I grew up. I have had the good fortune of having two soul dogs in my lifetime, one of whom recently passed away from lymphoma and its complications. During our two-year cancer battle, I learned a lot about canine nutrition, care for elderly and disabled dogs, and at-home medication processes including oxygen administration. Dogs are some of our best family members. I love all dogs, and I would love to meet yours! I have a flexible schedule each week. I have a preference for walks in the mornings and afternoons, avoiding the hottest temperatures, but can accommodate a wide range of times. For boarding and overnights, I prioritize listening to your instructions in regards to your dog's preferences, habits, and level of training. If your dog will be comfortable having the run of the house, I am comfortable with allowing them to explore my home as they board with me; alternately, if your dog does better in more contained environments, we can set up your crate, pen, etc or limit their range to one area of the house. We have a small, maintained side yard that dogs are welcome in, but no back yard. When entering a client's home, I will behave with the utmost respect, and only enter areas of the home necessary for instructed dog care. For overnight stays at clients' homes, I reserve the discretion to limit my hours depending on any safety concerns, but will not change plans without good faith attempts at communicating with you to find solutions that work for us both.
About: I’ve spent my whole life having pets at home, from dogs to cats to bunnies, I have endless experience. I’ve volunteered at local animal shelters, raised a puppy and 2 cats of my own, and taken care of pets for other families. I truly love animals and feel they should be comfortable with someone who truly understands them when their owners are gone. I’m working full-time and have 3 pets at home, so my availability varies depending on the week. However, I do work nights Mondays and Wednesdays, which makes me available before 2pm. I live in an apartment with 2 cats and a puppy, so unfortunately I do not have room to bring another animal into the space. However, I would love to come to your place and take care of your pet(s)!
“Zakiyyah was amazing! Our cat ended up being a little feistier than usual and she handled him with great care. She even extended her booking on short notice when our flight got canceled! Would highly recommend!”
“My cat has a really great boarding experience with Alicia and Yun! He was able to settle down easily and feel as comfortable as he was at home thanks to their good care. They always provide photos and updates, so I don’t have to worry while I’m away from my fur baby 😺 I would definitely recommend them for anyone who is looking for a pet sitter!”
About: My own dog is reactive so she tends to get nervous with loud noises and is very wary of dogs. So, throughout the years, I’ve learned to notice specific tells and avoid things that can set her off. I’m also very familiar with dogs that tend to pull as I’ve walked the dogs of multiple friends and family before. I currently have two dogs of my own with one being a toy poodle and black labrador/shepherd mix. Both dogs are completely different from each other as their temperaments differ in which one is dog selective, vocal, and prefers people. The toy poodle is very social with people and doesn’t mind other dogs and is fairly relaxed. I have also done cat sitting when my cousin goes on vacation where I do daily check ins to her home. I am currently looking for a film related job as I begin to learn about my major so I have lots of free time. I am usually available in the mornings to noon. I can even do a bit more after noon. However, I do like to maintain a balance with my own dogs and caring for other people’s pets. Nights are possible mainly on the weekends, preferably Saturdays but depending on my schedule I can be flexible. In a clients home, I would make sure to quickly open or close the door so no pet can rush out and even before doing that I can make sure they are being distracted so they won’t get loose. This still applies to a home with a fence because cats are lithe creatures. I also like to make sure to ask the client if the pet has any behavioral concerns that I should keep in mind and if there is any supplements they have that they would like me to implement into their pet’s meals. Energy levels is always something that I like to inquire about as well so I know what to expect.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Alhambra
Tiffany is an amazing sitter!!!! She truly goes above and beyond and takes care of your cats like her own. We had some challenges because of our door lock and she handled it professionally. My cats love spending time with her. It’s like they can’t wait to see her.
Emily is simply the best! She’s taken care of our four cats for extended periods which includes one very difficult cat and treats them all lovingly. She’s very communicative in updates and will go the extra mile to ensure not only the pets but the entire home stays in good order.
Don’t look further, hire Olivia. And please read this review 🙏🏽 Not only has Olivia taken care of my sweet baby Piffy for the past year with the upmost care and expertise, but she took her to the vet and sat in the room with her when she had to be put down after developing female leukemia. She FaceTimed me because I was states away and couldn’t be with my baby in her last moments. 🐱🪽🥺 And THEN… she drove her back to my apartment for me to say my goodbyes to her when I got home…. Like are you serious? An angel is an understatement. If I ever get another pet I will never hire anyone else. Olivia deserves the world. Please bless her and hire her forever. I can never thank her enough. 🥺💖 Piffy loves Olivia forever. 🐱🪽💖🐾
Alyce took great care of our cat while we were away! She came by the day before to meet him and go through the instructions. She was on time for every visit and did everything we asked. She was very communicative throughout and always updated us with pictures. Our cat can be shy but it looked like he warmed up to Alyce. We will book with Alyce again the next time we go away.

Skylah is absolutely amazing! She has taken care of my two cats for me many times now, and she is always someone I know I can count on!! She communicates so well, keeps me updated, and I always feel at ease knowing my cats are being fed, cared for, and getting some love and attention while I’m away. I’m so grateful to have found someone so reliable and caring! I would absolutely recommend her!
In my second booking with Faye, I was thoroughly impressed by her exceptional service. Her compassion and care for my cats are evident in every interaction. Faye consistently goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being of my feline companions, providing me with unwavering peace of mind while I am away from home. Her dedication and professionalism continue to astound me, and each experience surpasses the last.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific 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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alhambra. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 90% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
