“Our kitties enjoyed their daily visits while we were cruising the 7 seas. Nicely updated daily on their feeding, house conditions, and litter box. House clean when arrived home. Very punctual w times appointments and did actually spend the entire 30 minutes during all visits, even when the tasks are completed in under 10. Definitely would recommend and plan to use on our next trip. Thanks a bunch.”
About: Life isn't complete without a little fur and a lot of love! I've owned various pets my whole life and worked with animals as much as a can from volunteering at my local animal shelter to dog (pit) advocate groups. Also I have already been pet sitting and walking for people I know so expanding seemed perfect. I own a medium sized mixed dog that I just simply adore and I just cant wait to welcome your little fur baby into the ever growing pack because dogs deserve the best unconditional love. Life doesn't seem complete without four paws and a whole lot of fur! I hope you choose me to share some time with your four legged family member and share in the love. Currently going to school, taking care of my four legged baby and doing dog walks and pet sitting for people around my neighborhood when needed I have tons of experience caring for pets through being a long time pet owner as well as working with the animal shelter in the past and already being a dog walker/pet sitter. I ensure that your pet will get all the love and care needed to keep happy and healthy. I believe in treating others pets just like they are an equal part of my family/ pack so that they can always be their best happy self.
“This is our first time using Rover as well as having a person drop in and take care of our cats. Katie went beyond our expectation, all the great questions ahead and staying in contact with us. Thank you Katie, we will be reaching out for the next opportunity to have you take care of cats.”


About: Hello Brentwood! I’m new to the area but bring years of trusted dog-sitting experience—and a deep love for pups of all ages. I started caring for other dogs after realizing something important: anyone can watch my dogs, but not everyone can love them the way they need to be loved. That’s when I knew I wanted to offer the kind of care that’s not just safe and reliable—but affectionate, calm, and truly nurturing. I’m a full-time dog mom to two sweet 10-year-old girls, Oreo and Brownie. They’ve taught me everything about patience, connection, and comfort—and I bring those lessons to every dog I care for. Our home? It’s a dog’s home first. With an open, single-level layout, plenty of cozy spots, and a shaded California room with outdoor fans, it’s designed with your pup’s comfort in mind—especially during Brentwood’s warm days. Whether lounging indoors or cooling off under the covered patio, your dog will have plenty of space to feel at ease. I welcome small to medium-sized dogs of all ages, and offer both short and long-term stays. I’m happy to share daily updates, photos, and arrange a meet-and-greet to ensure it’s the right fit. Whether it’s your pup’s first time away or their tenth, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I work from home, so pet care is part of my daily rhythm. I usually take my own two dogs for a walk early in the morning while it’s still cool. During the hotter parts of the day, they enjoy supervised time in our shaded backyard with fans and fresh water. If weather allows, we go for another walk around sunset. We also have a dog park nearby, and if time permits, I love taking them there for some extra play and sniff time. I always adjust activities based on the weather and the comfort of each dog in my care. At my home, dogs are treated like part of the family and are always kept within sight and never left alone for long. I offer a calm, clean, and climate-controlled environment where they feel safe and loved. My two senior pups are mellow and used to having doggy guests around. With plenty of open indoor space and a well-shaded backyard, I make sure each dog gets just the right balance of comfort, fresh air, and supervision—adjusted to their needs and the weather.
About: I currently have a dog and have had another dog previously. I currently work in special education and also support my mother who has progressing dementia. I intend on making sure needs are being met while maintaining and building relationships. I’m working full time as a teacher and going to school full-time. I currently walk my dog the morning before going to work and when I arrive home. I’m flexible on the weekends and some week days. Since I work for the school I get a lot of holidays and week breaks, so I am able to have more availability. I ensure their needs are met by taking them for walks, feeding them, and ensuring they’re using the bathroom. I also give baths to keep them smelling fresh.

About: Hi there! My name’s Emma, I'm 25 years old. I’m a Dog and Cat Mama to three of my own fur babies, and work part time for the local school district. I've raised animals my whole life, and started pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors at 12, and I took care of the same animals regularly for nearly 6 years. Taking care of animals is second nature for me, and it's a fun way to help pay the bills. I do also have experience with epileptic dogs, elderly animals, and pets who need medicine regularly administered. Please feel free to message me with any questions! I work for the school district almost full time so have limited availability throughout the school year, with more availability during “winter break” and full time availability throughout summer break. I am only able to go to client's homes, I do not have the space to house client's pets. That being said, I treat and care for every animal as if it was my own. For client's I make myself daily checklists for the pets needs to make sure I never miss a thing.

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs alike for friends and family forever! I am great with making meals, administering medication, and keeping things clean! Please message me to schedule a meet & greet! ♡ I can work any day, any time! My hours are extremely flexible. I can work for just 2 hours or I can stay overnight if needed! I follow instructions exactly as they're given, including feed times & medication administration. I love following things by the book, so in my mind, having "too many" instructions isn't a thing!
About: I’ve handled pets of many kinds for the past 10 years, I currently work at a veterinary hospital with the experience and capability to know when there may be an emergency & when care is needed. I love all animals & I look forward to caring for your fur (if they have fur) babies ❤️ I work full time and usually have 3 days off at the end of my week (Thursday-Saturday) I do have availability daily after 6:30 pm. I am very vigilant and observant, I like to be aware of surroundings for your pets safety, I will also have a form signed for your pets well being in case of an emergency or any other urgent reasoning.
“My first time using Rover but I'm glad I found Keila! It was very reassuring to know someone great was checking in on our fur baby. Keila was very communicative and tried to send pics of our pet every visit. I really appreciate all that you did during the week. Thank you for everything, we will definitely use you again in the future!!”


“Cristal & Aiden were amazing! I was nervous leaving my elderly & diabetic cat for 5 days but it was quickly clear that my cat was very happy, well loved and 100% safe with them. It’s obvious they are true animal lovers and they even discovered she likes to watch bird & fish YouTube videos. Also, Aiden’s photos are the best I have of her - he has a real gift for animal photography. They were also very diligent about her medications, including giving her insulin shots twice a day. Needless to say, I highly recommend them!”
About: have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I have been apart of the Rover community for around 2 years now. I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the park or hiking where they can interact with other animals while you're away! My routine is Monday-Sunday anytime and i dont have anything that is blocking this job, I'm flexible reliable on any days if needed thank you! I will not be able to house your pets in my house due to my own pets not getting along with other dogs and cats.
About: I have over 4 years of professional experience working with animals, including 2½ years at a dog boarding and daycare facility where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. This includes hands-on experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs requiring extra patience, gentle care, and attention to comfort and mobility needs. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, nail trimming, teeth brushing, medication administration, and monitoring group play to ensure every pet stays safe and happy. I am also certified in pet first aid and CPR, so you can feel confident your pet is in capable, prepared hands. I have experience administering medications and following detailed care instructions for pets with special needs, including seniors and dogs requiring consistent routines. I’ve grown up around dogs and have a lifelong love for animals and I currently have two cats of my own. I’m also familiar with multi-pet households, as my mom has a 5-year-old terrier mix, brother has reptiles and I’ve provided pet sitting for family and friends over the years who have multiple pets. I’m currently in college working toward veterinary school, so caring for animals isn’t just a job—it’s my passion and future career. I genuinely enjoy working with pets at every life stage, from playful puppies to senior companions, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full time and am also a part-time college student, but I am very flexible with scheduling, especially in the evenings. My work schedule is provided one week in advance, which allows me to plan ahead and accommodate bookings as needed. I also typically have 2–3 full days off each week, which I can dedicate to providing full-day care and attention for pets. I am happy to adjust my availability to fit your pet’s routine whenever possible. I also offer overnight stays, ensuring your pets receive consistent care, including morning feedings, walks, and attention so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I offer overnight stays in my home; however, I do require a meet and greet with my dog beforehand to ensure both dogs are comfortable and get along well. I also provide overnight stays in your home so your pet can remain in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and maintain their normal routine. This is often the best option for pets who feel most secure in their own space. I have experience with transporting pets safely when needed, as well as crate training and crating routines. I am very attentive to maintaining each pet’s daily schedule, including feeding times, walks, medication administration, and bedtime routines to ensure consistency and comfort while you’re away. You can trust that I will treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect, care, and responsibility at all times.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since 1997; from dogs/cats-reptiles/fish & I was taught to treat them with just as much care, love & respect that you’d give a child. I’m familiar with their care, needs & certain levels of training. That being said, I hope to have the chance to meet yours & care for them while you're away! I currently work from home & have had some extra time on my hands. I recently came across Rover & thought it would be a perfect way to invest my spare time in an intentional/purposeful & financially lucrative way. I can work around most schedules, whether that’s weekends, early mornings or evenings. The best part about animals is that they’re all so different & unique in their own special way; which calls for a different level of care from pet-pet, not 1 animal is the same in my opinion. All that to say, I’m willing to adapt to anything/everything your pet may need while you’re away & hope to hear from you soon!
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was little. Friends and families always relied on me to help them with feeding, walks and much more! I just graduated nursing school and do not have a job yet as I study for my boards exam so I am pretty flexible! I am open to dog walking or dog / house sitting. With a background in nursing and extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, I am attentive and loving. I will treat them like my own! When caring for pets in their own homes, I like to make sure they remain in their familiar surroundings and routine. I follow specific instructions for feeding, walking, and any other care routines to maintain consistency. Whether it's regular check-ins, overnight stays, or extended house sitting, I will make sure your pets are comfortable and happy. I also provide additional services like watering plants, collecting mail, and maintaining house security to give you peace of mind while you're away. I am committed to providing the best possible care for your furry friends, whether in my home or yours.

Thank you so much, Sofia, for taking care of my kitties! There is nothing that makes me happier than returning home to know they were taken care of properly, and seeing them so happy and healthy. I truly appreciate you following the instructions to a T and being flexible enough to accommodate last-minute add-on services. You are the best, and we are so blessed to have connected with you!

This was my very first time using someone other than a trusted family member to take care of our beloved cat. Luckily I matched with Abby and from our first meeting, I felt very comfortable knowing she would care for my kitty with compassion and kindness. Abby was very astute to my needs as a pet owner and really set my mind at ease! The picture updates were awesome as well as the personal messages really comforted us knowing our cat’s emotional and physical needs were being met. Thanks again!

Kieran was super nice and was always on time . He did everything I asked for and though my very shy cat never came out from under the bed , Kieran was fantastic in taking care of her and doing everything that I asked him to do ! I will absolutely hire him again and definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a reliable pet sitter thanks Kieran

If there was a way for me to give her 10 stars I would have done it right away . Rover is one of my very first experience hiring a professional pet sitter and it required a lot of if ands and butts before I picked Jazz but I was so glad that I did . The biggest thing for me was to trust someone with your whole home handing them the keys and hope for the best. I was going out of country for a full week and she was going to be my only resource to take care of my beloved cat . When I met Jazz for the very first time, there was a light of calm , kindness and professionalism that gave me a sigh of relief that said I know you are gonna be great and I’m not worried about it . She was kind very sweet asked questions and took away that weird feeling of meeting a stranger the very first time . She was punctual and did everything she could to not only take care of my very moody kitty but also sending pics to keep me at ease three continents away. I knew I had nothing to worry about ! I have found the best cat sitter I could ever hope for and I hope she accepts my request anytime I’m in need of pet care ! A+++ a true superstar!!!! Thank you jazz you are the best!!!!

We were nervous hiring someone for the first time and Tina’s profile stood out. We met her in person before the services and she seemed like a wonderful person. She watched our cat for 2 days and we got so many pictures and videos. Our boy liked her from the moment he met her during meet and greet and I think she liked him too. Wonderful service and we highly recommend her. We are happy to have found someone that we can use again to watch our pets. Thank you Tina

This was our third time using Lori to watch our two dogs and one cat. As always, she did a fantastic job. She is extremely prompt and responsive to any questions we have had. Our pets definitely like her as well. I strongly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs and will definitely use her in the future
Melissa looked after my cat while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was reliable and attentive. Communication was excellent. I received regular updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were safe and comfortable. She followed instructions carefully, gave medication and prescribed diet on schedule to one of them who is sick. She was brave enough to learn how to do a fluids IV. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a sitter who is not only reliable but also compassionate and capable of handling special needs.

Cindy was amazing! Right when I first met her I could tell she was going to do a great job. She was very responsive, asked great questions and brought along a helper too! We are very impressed with what a great job she did. The animal areas were clean and more importantly the animals were well taken care of. We will absolutely use her again!

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

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.
