About: I volunteer at the Stockton Animal Shelter. Also, I have a Pomeranian chihuahua mix so I’m used to smaller animals. My dog is 14-16 so he’s very old and is becoming more immobile and blind. I’m used to feeding him and helping him around the house. I’m currently working part time so most I’m completely free on the weekend as well as Monday and Tuesday. Also I have plenty of time on Thursday as a half day. I’m very respectful in others space. I will be very attentive to the rules that you lay out because you know your pet best
About: Hi! I’m Linda, a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for providing compassionate, reliable care. Growing up with dogs, cats, and bunnies all my life, I understand the unique personalities, routines, and needs of pets big and small. My background working in senior care and being a big sister to two younger siblings has given me a natural instinct for patience, attention to detail, and safety. Whether your furry family member needs gentle company, active play, or meticulous daily care, you can rest easy knowing they are in gentle, experienced hands! I’m available mornings 7:30am until 10:30am and late afternoon/nights 7:30pm-10:00pm and all day Tuesday/Wednesday , we can work on your time ! I focus on keeping your pets as comfortable as possible by sticking closely to their normal daily routines. During my visits, I handle feeding, fresh water refills, litter box scooping, cage or habitat maintenance, exercise, and plenty of personalized attention or play. Because I currently care for five cats at home and have looked after various types of animals throughout my life—including dogs, bunnies, and cats—I am deeply familiar with managing different temperaments, dietary needs, and handling subtle changes in pet behavior. I also ensure your home remains safe, secure, and clean while you’re away
“Ashlee took great care of our kitties, fish tank, plants and home. She was reliable, flexible and listened to what we said mattered most to us. She kept ample communication, ensuring we knew how things were going and sending lots of nice pictures and videos. We had peace of mind during our travels, which is all one can ask for. Thanks, Ashlee!”
“Weilin was great with my kitties! She was professional, responsible, and so caring! I recommend her to every pet parents out there and will definitely come back for her service!”
“Diana was absolutely amazing with our little cat. We were abroad for 3 weeks and she was booked in for a home stay to live in with our cat. She treated our cat as her own and looked after her so well, and gave us lots of updates on her, which gave us so much peace of mind. Diana also treated our home so respectfully and it was so clean and well kept to return to. Our cat definitely loved her company too and got comfortable with her really quickly. I believe we have found our forever pet sitter for any future trips away too. Thank you so much for the perfect 3 weeks for our cat.”

“Savanna was a fantastic sitter for our cat Milo! We appreciate her work with cat rescues and the experience shows. Milo is a foster cat who is more on the mellow side, and Savanna and her partner were very attentive to his needs and anxiousness being in a new place with her cats. We received text updates and photos to let us know how he was doing. I would not hesitate to have Savanna take care of our pets again.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and have experience with both dogs and cats. I currently have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members. I can help with feeding, walking, playtime, and even giving medication if needed. I’m patient, reliable, and always treat every pet like they’re my own. I work full-time during the day, so I’m available for pet care after 3 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends.

I care for pets in their own homes where they feel safe and comfortable. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine and comfort. I’m respectful, responsible, and committed to providing a calm, caring environment for your pets while you’re away.
“I will definitely use Kelsee's services the next time we travel. She was always pleasant and flexible. I could not have asked for better. She gave us just enough contact with text and photos to keep us comfortable. We knew our 20-year-old cat was in good hands. She also kept the wild birds fed and potted plants watered. Thank you Kelsee!”
“Janet was wonderful and our pets got along great with her. She had to do cat meds for one of my elderly cats and that went great also. Hard to find a person who will do pet meds, especially cats! She took pics for us which was great also. She is a very nice person and we will have her watch our dogs and cats again.”
About: I adore animals. I've had dogs and cats around my whole life, I'm the first person my family goes to for help when they go on trips. Willing to work with any creatures 😁 I work full time Monday through Friday, we can always chat about my schedule if you need! I'm normally home on weekends so I'm looking to fill the rest of my schedule. I live with my parents still so I can't bring pets into my home, but we have a husky malamute who we've trained to not eat our cats or rats!
About: I have been pet sitting/ house sitting for 15 years. I have pet sit for neighbors and family members. Taking care of pets includes: walks, feeding, playtime and lots of cuddles.

About: I love animals and would love to help you watch yours if you're out or take them on walks for you! I had a German-Shorthaired Pointer/Labrador mix for 11 years, he passed away recently but brought years of joy and experience with a highly-energetic dog. I recently got my first cat, and I have lived with several other dogs and cats. I do not have any professional experience grooming or dealing with animals, but I am more than willing to help out with letting dogs out, taking them on walks, etc. I definitely have plenty of experience walking dogs because of my little guy. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I currently have quite open availability, almost any day and time should work with some notice, and I will try to make it work regardless. I have a fenced-in yard where a dog can go outside/play fetch. I have 1 cat, but he can be kept in a separate area of the house if preferred.
About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).
“Amazing Dog Sitter! Jazmyne took fantastic care of my dog, providing plenty of love, attention, and updates. My pup was happy and relaxed when I returned. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
About: I strive to respect every individual's needs and preferences while also prioritizing their comfort and well-being. Whether they are a dog, cat, reptile, bird, or bug. During overnight stays I ensure pets feel comfortable and content, while also respecting their space and boundaries. Especially for those who prefer to be left alone. Some of my prior experiences with pet sitting involved caring for four senior dogs and a kitten. I made sure they received meticulous care. Some of my tasks included administering medications and providing engaging activities. My devotion to animals of all kinds sets me apart as a compassionate and reliable pet sitter. Being unemployed allows me to prioritize pet care, ensuring reliable and attentive service tailored to your pets needs. I am committed to giving the best possible care for your pets! In both my home and my clients home, I dedicate myself to making sure that every pet is content and comfortable. During my overnight stays, I prioritize the pets safety and well-being by following their feeding schedules, administer medication as needed, and offer constant supervision.
“Coralie was wonderful! Everything went smoothly, she communicated well, she sent pictures, and she was happy to help with the last minute boarding of a very stressed out kitty. The kitty came back in a good mental state, and I had peace of mind all weekend. Highly recommend her services. ?”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - August
Celestine did a great job taking care of my cat! She went above and beyond. I was very pleased to see how well things went with the Rover check ins/cards and with returning to find that my cat was perfectly okay. Lastly, I just wanted to say she was very friendly to work with, followed the instructions well, and knows how to take care of cats very well. I would highly recommend her services.
It’s never easy finding great care for your fur babies, unless it’s Brooke! Had to find care in a slight pinch and Brooke saved the weekend and also made sure my dog and cat were in great hands. She made sure to send updates with pictures and felt that was above and beyond of expectations. And also thankful for her attention to detail. Great job, great care, and such a positive experience for Soja and Man-man. Would 100% book again and highly recommend if I or others ever need someone to care for their pets! You rock 🤘🏾
Lisseth was amazing with my cats, Penny and Stormi. She replaced the litter, made sure they were fed, and even left extra dry food out just like I asked. She kept everything in the house exactly as it was, took the trash out, and was thoughtful enough to leave the key under the mat for when I got back. She even noticed small things like running low on trash bags and let me know where she left the clicker in the kitchen. It’s clear she really pays attention and cares about doing things right. I came home to happy cats and a home that felt untouched. I’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, detail-oriented cat sitter.

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. 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 , 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
