“Jackie has been so great with my shy girl! I work long shifts and have so appreciated knowing she’s getting some fresh air and love on the days I have to be away. Jackie has shown up consistently, sending me little photos and updates every day that’s she’s stopped by. We’re lucky to have found her!”
About: With years of hands on experience working and volunteering at animal shelters since high school, I bring a deep understanding of pet care and behavior to every sitting experience. I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals, which has given me the skills to adapt to the unique needs of every pet. Currently, I share my home with Sally, a 5-year-old Domestic Short Hair tabby who I adopted in 2024. She is the light of my life and reminds me daily of the importance of love, patience, and attentive care when it comes to our furry companions. Special Skills • Shelter Experience: Years of volunteer and work experience in shelters have equipped me to handle animals with diverse backgrounds and needs, from shy rescues to high-energy pets. • Multi-Species Expertise: Having cared for a variety of pets, I am comfortable with dogs, cats, and more exotic companions. • Behavioral Insight: Skilled in understanding and managing pet behaviors, including those of rescues or pets with anxiety. • Personalized Care: I believe every pet deserves individualized attention and make it my priority to ensure they feel loved and secure. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own, providing the same love and attention I give to my dear Sally. With me, your pet will receive exceptional care and companionship. I am currently a very recent college graduate student who has full availability on the weekends and weekday availability depending on the time(s) requested. My schedule currently consist of work 5 days a week (any changes in my schedule will be noted). When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I respect their space and follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I ensure your home remains tidy and secure during my visits and keep you updated with regular messages or photos to provide peace of mind. Whether it’s spending extra time playing with an energetic pet or offering a calm, reassuring presence for a shy one, I adapt my approach to suit their personality and preferences.
“Jade did a great job taking care of our animals and plants while we were away for a week. They went above and beyond and very responsive and communication. Would recommend and have them again!”
“Riley took good care of my senior cat while I was away. I was updated every day with photos and a report card. Everything was clean and neat when I returned, and kitty was happy. I'd recommend Riley to a friend for pet care.”
About: I care about animals. I care about what they need. I like to make them feel safe and I can play with them and understand when they want their space. I am available to work Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. At the time that my client need it. I’m going to school Tuesday and Thursday. I’m very careful in my clients house. I follow the exact instructions and I communicate with the owner if I have questions and I answer their texts.
“This was our second time booking Shannon and we plan to book her again and again! Great communication, and always follows our instructions, and goes above and beyond for our cats.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for the past 15 years and professionally taking care of animals since 2014 in the Sacramento area. I work full time in Eureka, Monday through Friday typically starting around 8/8:30 (depending on the schedule) and finish work at 5pm. I usually only have a half hour lunch so if your dog needs to be let out during the middle of the day I could do it if your place is in Eureka. I would be conducting care at your home or neighborhood if walking, since my rental does not allow animals. I can do overnights at your place and drop in visits with feedings as long as it’s done before 8am and after 5pm M-F, weekends I don’t have a time restraints.
“Jessica was great. She was punctual and dependable. She seemed to really enjoy animals and was very patient with my kids during our meet and greet. I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have had 5 dogs in my lifetime, and taken care of sheep, chickens, fishponds, etc. while growing up on a farm. I have experience in training our 3 hunting dogs with my Dad so I also have experience in shaping puppies behavior and intelligence during their young years. I also manage feeding and caring for the farm animals alone while my parents are away so I am able to take care of various levels of care and routines per specific animal on my own! Doesn’t hurt that I am also an animal lover and thoroughly enjoy everything that has to do with pet care and companionship :) I can work pet care into any time or day and I am thoroughly flexible! I would say the only thing I would request is enough time beforehand to plan my day. So I would say at least 12 hours before I would need to begin care. I would care for the animals by allowing ample play time/ walking time on a leash, as well as making sure they are in a safe and enclosed area if at any point I am not with them for the moment. (ex.bathroom break). I would also ensure that the clients requests be at utmost importance and follow those rules specifically.
About: I have been a sitter for 4 years for friends and neighbors. My care has included walking, potty breaks, overnight care, and more! I’ve lived with Dobermans my whole life and am capable of care for any dog of any size! I am a full time student at Cal Poly humboldt, my classes are in the morning and I am completely open in afternoons, weekends and holidays! I am active and love to play with animals!! My dogs at home are escape artists so I know how to avoid an escape due to fences. I have kennel trained multiple of my dogs and prefer to use kennels for bigger dogs.
About: I’ve always been comfortable around animals and enjoy spending time caring for pets for friends and family whenever needed. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to routines, whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important communication and trust are when caring for someone’s pet, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care. I enjoy making time in my routine to care for animals and give them the attention they deserve! I currently work, but I’m happy to coordinate visits around my schedule to make sure your pets receive consistent, reliable care. I understand how important routines are for animals, and I’ll do my best to accommodate their feeding schedules, playtime, and other daily needs. I value communication and will always confirm my availability before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. When caring for pets, I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep their environment clean, provide fresh food and water, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.
About: Hi, I'm Zach! I pride myself on my extensive pet care experience and my commitment to providing exceptional care for your furry family members. What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of the unique needs of every pet, whether they're playful puppies, sophisticated poodles, or independent cats. With a lifetime of experience caring for pets, I possess a wealth of knowledge in catering to their specific requirements. From the exuberance of puppy training to the gentle care needed for senior pets, I can ensure that each pet receives personalized attention tailored to their age, temperament, and health. When you choose me, you can rest assured that your beloved companions are in capable hands. I'll go above and beyond to ensure that your pets feel loved, safe, and happy in the comfort of their own home. This is my full time gig, so I’m happy to stay at your home and give your pets all the love and attention they need! I own 2 poodles, who both get regular food, water, play, naps, walks, belly rubbs, extraneous amounts of attention in general. I will only pet sit at your location!
“Bailey is truly a gem! She cared for our two reactive, mostly untrained dogs and our cat over a weekend away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience—especially as first-time Rover users. She walked the dogs daily, sent us regular photo updates, and made us feel so at ease while we were gone. On her second stay, we had some unexpected behavior issues with one of our rescue dogs, who managed to dart out the door (not her fault at all—he’s a handful!). Bailey stayed longer than expected to make sure everything was under control before she left. Her calm, caring presence and quick communication gave us so much peace of mind. She is incredibly responsible, responsive, and clearly loves animals. We’ll be booking Bailey every time she’s available. I would give a million stars if the app allowed it! Highly, highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter and Zalie was awesome. We have two dogs, one is nervous around people and she was very cautious of her space. It was piece of mind knowing our dogs were in good care. She was very attentive and active in checking in and the overall process. We definitely recommend Zalie and we look forward to having her for future visits.”

My cat is on the shyer side, but Jade was able to coax her out of her hiding spot and give her some attention which was great and definitely made me feel less guilty about leaving her for the weekend! I really appreciated how communicate Jade was, and the updates/pictures they sent when checking on my cat. I will be booking with Jade again!
Liv was incredible and our girls loved her!! One of our kitties is elderly and has some incontinence issues but Liv was super communicative, patient, and up for the extra care. She made sure they had plenty of cuddles and attention in addition to their other necessities. We loved all the updates and photo that were sent as well. Our home and kitties were in great shape upon our return thanks to her!!! Would 100% rebook in the future.

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.
