“Gabby is simply the best. She was amazing and flexible with the needs of our senior girl, Jersie. She sent picture updates throughout our trip and kept us in the loop of what was going on. We are so thankful for her compassion and are looking forward to booking with her again ❤️”
“Andrea did an amazing job watching our 4 month old blue heeler pup 'Tillie' and our low maintenance dude cat 'Pickles'. She was at our home for almost 12 hours and kept the pup from getting into trouble. She's still in that biting/chewing stage and loves electrical cords. Andrea sent me photos of the pets throughout the day and I was extremely assured that we had the right person to watch them both. Thank you Andrea! I'm looking forward to the next time!”
“Shanikka was absolutely wonderful! She was extremely attentive and my baby LOVED her! So thankful and appreciative. Will definitely be booking again!!”
“Alli is amazing, she accommodated our last minute travel plans and cared for our animals like they were her own. She took awesome care of the house and asks questions to make sure she takes quality care of your babies.”
“Noa always does a great job, and I don’t usually leave comments, but this time I felt I had to. I was on the verge of cancelling my trip because my anxiety ridden doggo was having some loose bowels in the most inconvenient and public places, after being scared of the maintenance workers that recently visited. Then upon being so excited to see his buddy, Noa, decided to release that excitement in a very stinky way. Not to get too graphic, but I need to illustrate this so you know that Noa really went above and beyond to treat my Bandit like family. Noa was right there helping me clean up in the midst of my profuse apologies. I got tons of adorable and funny photos of Bandit in his doggy diaper, and I was so relieved he was in good hands while I was away. Noa gives frequent updates, and has truly gotten to know my boys. This is why I rebook over and over and over again.”
“Crystal is absolutely wonderful! She took detailed notes and took care of my boy exactly how I asked her to. Most importantly, she played with him a lot. She was neat & clean & was respectful of my home. She is delightful to work with. She is the best cat sitter ever!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds - I have experience in dog-walking, dog and cat sitting and basic care. I treat them as if they’re my own by giving them all the attention they need. They are my top priority when they’re in my care! I am available for dog-walking most late afternoons. I can do 30 or 60 minutes depending on your needs! I have experience with all kinds of leashes. I will create an environment for your pet that will make them feel safe! Whether it’s for a walk or for a visit, they will feel comfortable and at ease.
About: I’ve been around and loving animals my whole life. I have had my dog Copper since I was a puppy and as he has gotten older I have learned how to care for older senior dogs and the responsibility that comes with that. My more recent pup, Buckley, I got a couple years ago. I trained and raised her myself so I also have experience with puppy care as well. While pursuing my undergraduate degree I volunteered at an Animal Shelter as a pet adoption counselor and dog walker, so I have lots of experience with a wide variety of breeds and pet safety. I currently have a 2 year old cat named Cleo that I am the sole caretaker for, and have a lot of experience cat sitting as well. As a first-year Doctor of Physical Therapy student at UC, I spend a lot of time at my desk studying and would love a furry study buddy! My class schedule fluctuates week-to-week between 9 AM and 4 PM, so I am generally unavailable for midday check-ins during the week (unless you live right next to campus). However, my evenings and weekends are completely wide open and dedicated to pet care. I love going for long walks to clear my head after class and am more than willing to house-sit and spend the night. Your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship when I am off campus! With my background as a dog walker and shelter adoption counselor, I am fully trained in pet safety, reading animal body language, handling worst-case scenarios, and administering medications. Because I have experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs, I easily adapt to whatever level of care and attention your pet requires, making sure they get at least one good walk a day or a fun weekend trip to a local park or hike. I am also passionate about feline enrichment and love setting up daily toy rotations or interactive puzzles to keep cats mentally stimulated and happy. To ensure your pet stays completely comfortable in their own routine and to keep my own cat happy at home, I exclusively provide care in your home and am more than happy to house-sit and spend the night so your furry family member gets plenty of evening cuddles, consistent companionship, and the best care possible!
“Jessalyn is amazing! She worked with us when we needed to extend our trip and went above and beyond with our apartment and our dog. Beanie was so calm and content when we got back!! Thank you!!!”
About: My dog‑care experience was shaped on the farm by two completely different but equally unforgettable dogs — Brandy and Sandy. Brandy was the hyper one, always ready to sprint, explore, or break off the leash the moment she saw an opening. Managing her taught me how to handle high‑energy dogs with patience, structure, and safe freedom when the moment was right. Sandy was the opposite — the quiet, protective free‑roam dog who walked beside me while I fed the animals, checked the fences, or just needed silence in nature. She taught me how to build trust without words, how to read calm body language, and how to create a steady presence that makes dogs feel secure. Together, they gave me a balanced understanding of dog behavior — from managing excitement to honoring stillness — and that mix guides the way I care for every dog today. Pet care fits naturally into my life because my routine is already built around consistency, early mornings, and being fully present. I work an 8:30–5pm job, but being hybrid gives me two days each week where I’m home and able to give animals steady attention throughout the day. I’m up at 4am for the gym, so I’m always awake early enough for morning feedings, walks, or check‑ins before most people even start their day. I’m flexible with my time and willing to adjust my sleep schedule, workouts, or daily activities around an animal’s needs — whether that means medication windows, outdoor time, or simply giving them company. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in; it’s something I build my day around with intention and reliability. When I’m caring for a pet in their space, I keep everything consistent with the routines they already know: feeding times, walk schedules, medication windows, playtime, and comfort habits. I treat their home with respect, keep their environment clean, and make sure they feel secure even while their family is away. I’m flexible with timing and fully willing to adjust my sleep schedule, workouts, or daily plans around what each animal needs — whether that’s late‑night reassurance, early‑morning energy, or extra companionship throughout the day. For me, pet care isn’t something I squeeze in. It’s something I build my day around with intention, reliability, and real heart.
“SO greatful for Stella! She was incredibly communicative and reliable—our dog was so happy with her while we were away. A literal dream come true for my anxious-brain; Stella was the best pet sitter I’ve ever employed. We will be using her exclusively moving forward and highly recommend her to anyone searching for someone who truly cares about your animal and will allow you invaluable peace of mind while you’re away.”
“Nichole is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She took care of our two huskies with love, excellence, and attention to detail. She went above and beyond giving them stimulation and exercise and left our home spotless. Genuinely such a lovely person. We are so grateful for your amazing work, Nichole!”
“Another great stay with Elizabeth! Our boys and house were well cared for during our one week vacation. When we left one of our dogs had nervous poops but she watched him and let us know everything returned to normal in 48 hours. That's a relief when you're not there to see for yourself and care for your dog. She's very thoughtful with feedback about the dogs and takes great pictures of them too! We'll definitely hire her again.”
“Cecilia is a great dogsitter! She’s very communicative, which helped me to feel at ease leaving my dog with her while I was gone. She followed all of the instructions I left and took great care of Murph and my apartment.”
“Levi was great! My dog, Bella seemed to warm up to him immediately during our meet and greet which helped ease my anxiety as I was leaving the country for 10 days! He was great with communication and I will definitely use Levi again!”
“Having Gabriella watch my dogs was a wonderful experience! She was very communicative, great with the dogs, and I felt very comfortable leaving them with her! Would definitely recommend using her services!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care Celeste provided for Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup! She went above and beyond in every way. Throughout the weekend, she kept us updated with photos and messages, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Celeste was professional, attentive, and clearly treated our pets as if they were her own. Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup absolutely loved her, and we could tell they were comfortable and well loved the entire time. We highly recommend Celeste to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and top-notch pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

Allison did an amazing job taking care of not only our dogs, but our home as well! She was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout our time away and made sure to keep us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. You can truly tell that Allison takes pride in what she does and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, as well as their families and homes. She was professional, dependable, and so thoughtful. We felt completely comfortable knowing our dogs were in great hands. We’re so happy to have found Allison and even happier that our dogs have a new friend! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets and home.
Nichole is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She took care of our two huskies with love, excellence, and attention to detail. She went above and beyond giving them stimulation and exercise and left our home spotless. Genuinely such a lovely person. We are so grateful for your amazing work, Nichole!
Patrice was awesome! She came for a meet and greet and the dogs loved her from the start. On the day we left she arrived on time and communicated frequently and effectively. We appreciated the photos and messages she sent and the dogs were happy. We will definitely ask her to watch them again!
Nikka was a life saver and came to our rescue when another sitter cancelled last minute. Nikka stayed with our special needs senior dog and took amazing care of her and was extremely attentive and gave her the special attention she needed! Nikka was aLeo amazing at sending updates and being responsive which is always super important to me! We also came home to clean house and happy dog.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Brentwood walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Brentwood maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Brentwood choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
