About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember! My experience caring for pets goes all the way back to childhood, and over the years, I’ve developed a genuine appreciation for the unique personalities and needs of every animal. I believe that building trust is one of the most important parts of caring for a pet. I always take the time to help animals feel comfortable, safe, and loved, whether they’re energetic and playful or a little shy and reserved. I understand that pets are family, and I know how important it is to have someone dependable looking after them while you’re away. My goal is to provide the same level of attention, patience, and affection that I would want for my own pets. As a pilot, I also have volunteer experience with flying shelter animals across the state to reach their new home where they find love and comfort. This experience has helped me learn the best way to keep animals calm through situations that could otherwise be stressful for them. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and making sure they receive the care and companionship they deserve! I currently work full-time in Livermore, with shifts typically running from either 6 AM–2 PM or 10 AM–6 PM. Fortunately, my schedule allows for some flexibility, and I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to find times that work best for everyone! Depending on my work schedule, I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening visits, as well as pet care on my days off. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate their needs while making sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! My home offers a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for supervised outdoor playtime and exploration. We also have two small, friendly dogs who enjoy meeting new furry friends! I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I always take introductions slowly and make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I also respect each pet’s individual needs, whether they love socializing or prefer a quieter environment. When caring for pets in their own homes, I make it a priority to follow their established routines and their owner’s instructions as closely as possible. I believe that consistency, patience, and communication are essential to building trust. I’m also happy to provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands!

Whether your pet loves playing outside, going for walks, or just relaxing and getting extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide plenty of updates and photos, and treat your pet like family while they’re in my care.

Weekends are especially flexible, and I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and companionship while in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

About: I lost my boxer last year to cancer and miss having a dog around. I decided to open my home to dog sitting and walking to fulfill my human need for a canine. I would love to snuggle and play with your dog. I have a big back yard, dog friendly for fetch, frisbee, hide and seek or other games. I will hike and run with your dog in the neighborhood or local parks. If your dog likes to swim, we can go to the creek or lake. I am available some weekdays and most weekends. Your dog will be the only pet, full on attention. I hope you choose me to meet your fur baby. I will provide loving care with fun and exercise.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve been around dogs and cats of all sizes since I was young. I work from home full-time, so flexibility is definitely on my side. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, love, and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is to make every walk and drop-in safe and stress-free! I work remotely from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, walk, or pet sitting, I can easily fit your pet’s routine into my day while giving them the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and follow your instructions carefully—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and favorite routines.

About: I have loved and lived with cats my entire life, at one point caring for four at the same time! Because of this, I believe I speak fluent cat. I’ve raised and cared for cats at every stage of life, from kittens to senior cats and sick ones, all with very different needs. I am also skilled at giving cats medication if they are receptive to it. Whether your kitty is super cuddly or spicy and needs their space, your babies are completely safe and understood with me. Beyond caring for your pets, I will be 100% respectful of your home. You can completely trust me to keep your space clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I treat your home and your pets with the utmost care and respect! As a student on summer break, I have an incredibly open and flexible schedule! I am completely free to watch over your pets, drop in for multiple visits throughout the day, or stay overnight to keep them company. Whether your cats love interactive play, brushing, and cuddles, or prefer to just chill from a distance, I meet them where they are. I keep water bowls fresh, clean the litter box daily, and strictly stick to their feeding schedules; which I know is especially crucial for older cats. I'm also completely fine with handling barf cleanup. To give you complete peace of mind, I will stay fully communicative, updating you throughout my visits and sending plenty of daily photo/video updates of your sweet babies.

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.
