“Mahsa was very quick in responding to my last minute request while I was travelling and my cat seemed to have really warmed up to her even at first visit. She is professional and attentive to specific requests and is ofcourse great with cats. I highly recommend and will definitely reach out again if needed. Thank you!”
“Rebekah has been very reliable when caring for my dog Boba. She sends me updates with pictures and lets me know how Boba is doing. I can tell she really loves spending time with animals by how she cares for my Boba.”
About: 17+ years raising cats and dogs from puppyhood and kittenhood through senior years. Skilled in young pet training, high-energy breeds, senior and end-of-life care. I’m available every day, weekdays and weekends, starting from 6:30 AM. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate your pet’s routine and care needs. Safety comes first: secure doors and windows, clean hands, fresh litter boxes, leashed dog walks, proper hygiene, and careful attention to each pet’s routine.
“Rebooked with Andrew because I can't imagine trusting my precious baby cat and dog with anyone else! You'd think Andrew was Santa-Claws (ha, get it) from the way my dog IMMEDIATELY starts whining in excitement when he realizes "Uncle Andrew" is going to come spend time with him. My cat, who has NEVER voluntarily crawled onto my lap to sit and chill, is the total opposite with Andrew. He's both the cat AND the dog whisperer, and it's awesome. Andrew's great as always - punctual, caring, communicative, all the things that make for an excellent, trustworthy, above and beyond pet care giver.”
“Amy was amazing with our cat while we were gone! She sent lots of pics and updates. It was clear that our cat loved her visits! I would absolutely recommend using her for cat sitting. She went above and beyond, taking out the trash, watering the plants, you name it.”
“We recently had the pleasure of entrusting our pup Arya to Shirley, and we couldn’t be happier. From start to finish, Shirley demonstrated exceptional profesionalism, communication, and genuine love for dogs. But what truly sets Shirley apart was the extra TLC she provided to our pup. Not only did she follow the feeding routine diligently, but she went the extra mile to ensure Arya felt love. Did I mention she took amazing pictures of our dog? Overall, I can’t recommend Shirley highly enough! Her combination of punctuality, excellent communication, and her ability to make our pup feel cherished made for an outstanding dog-sitting experience!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! With 35 years of experience caring for dogs, I know just how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. I’m also a proud dog mom to Chico, my sweet two-year-old Maltipoo, who is basically my child! 😂 Chico has never met a dog or person he hasn’t loved, and he would be thrilled to welcome a new furry friend into our home. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pup with someone new, so my goal is to make sure both you and your dog feel completely comfortable. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just curling up on the couch for some snuggles, I’m happy to give them the love and attention they’re used to at home. Chico and I also love going to the dog park, so if that’s your dog’s jam, we’d love for them to join us! My camera reel is filled with pictures and videos of dogs, so I’m always happy to share as many photos and videos as you’d like while you’re away. I want you to feel comfortable and reassured knowing your pup is happy, safe, and having a great time! I treat every dog like family, which means lots of affection, a safe and comfortable environment, and plenty of updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your baby is in good hands. Your pup might arrive as a guest, but they’ll leave as family! ❤️🐾 Being a dog mom is already a big part of my everyday routine, so welcoming another furry friend fits right in! 🐾 Chico and I love spending our days going for walks, playing, and getting plenty of cuddle time. I work from home most of the week and take breaks for walks and attention as needed. I work in the city twice a week, but I can be flexible about which days, depending on your pup’s needs. I’m also happy to discuss boarding during the week and create a routine that keeps your pup comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Your pup will be treated like part of our little family! ❤️ I have a fenced-in yard where pups can safely enjoy some fresh air, playtime, and supervised outdoor fun. I also live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood, perfect for relaxing walks and exploring. I understand that every pup has their own personality, routine, and preferences. Whether that means a specific feeding schedule, medication, extra potty breaks, or a favorite bedtime routine, I’m happy to follow your instructions to make their stay as stress-free as possible. I always prioritize safe introductions, supervised playtime, and making sure everyone gets along. And of course, you can expect plenty of pictures, videos, and updates while you’re away! My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your baby is being loved and cared for like one of my own. 🐶💕
“Jasmine was a great choice for watching our pets while we were on vacation. She came over a couple of times prior to the trip to make sure that she understood everything and it helped the pets get comfortable with her. While we were gone, she came on time every day and sent plenty of pictures. I would use her services again without a doubt. Thanks Jasmine!”
About: I absolutely love animals. I've grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have two cats at home. Previously experienced with caring for my senior dog who had CKD. I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats of different sizes and temperaments as I'm currently working as a vet assistant and studying to be a registered veterinary technician. I recognize that every pet parent has their individualized way of caring for their pet and I strive to support that. Your furry kid means a lot and you should feel confident and comfortable with their care. I currently work 4 day weeks, 10 hours a day. I have three days throughout the week and nights after work that are available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting. I do my best to maintain a safe environment, staying aware of harmful materials, chemicals or products that a pet could get into. Removing or storing these items safely to avoid any negative exposure. Especially for young pets (and labs) that will eat anything.
About: I’ve always had my own pets including dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs and fish. I’m experienced with house sitting and dog walking for dogs through out my teen and college years. I took a break post college while working at a shelter for women and children and then attorney represented bodily injury claims. I recently resigned my corporate insurance job and have been pursuing my stained glass small business and my passion for animals. I've been volunteering at the shelter as dog walker and started riding horses again. I'm available currently every day of the week and weekends. I live very close to the Fremont Hub. I can feed, walk, brush, love, and provide any special cares for your fur babies! I don’t mind just hanging out with your pet while you’re away for work or vacation. I'm currently self-employed as an artist and am available any day of the week and weekends and can be available as well on shore notice! I have a fenced in patio and catio for our 4 cats. They are primarily indoors and go outside supervised. In your own home, I will ensure your pet remains safe and indoors. If you have an indoor pet only, they will remain inside at all times. I will treat your pet as if they're my own pet with love and above and beyond care to ensure they feel safe and trust me.
“Jerri did a great job playing with Kianna while my wife and I were out on a long trip. Jerri provided photos and videos to keep our mind at ease that our little elder cat was have fun and had good company”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of dog walking and sitting experience. I’ve worked for a professional dog-walking company, leading both neighborhood walks and adventurous hikes. I’ve also cared for my own dog with epilepsy, giving medication three times a day and providing gentle, patient care. We’re a warm, loving little family who adore all kinds of animals. I live with my husband and our 4-year-old son, who was born into a home with a cat and dog and has grown up loving animals and nature. At home, we don’t currently have a dog or cat, just fishes and a frog 🐠🐸. After losing our beloved dog, we haven’t been ready to adopt another one, which means your pup will get all the love and attention they deserve while staying with us! I can care for your dog at your home or mine, in any weather, for walks, hikes, playtime, or full-time sitting. I can also provide care for cats while you’re away. Your furry friends will be treated with love, patience, and plenty of attention — maybe even spoiled just a little. 😉 I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and spend plenty of quality time caring for your furry friend. I’m also flexible on weekends and can easily accommodate walks, playtime, and drop-in visits. Your furry baby will always receive plenty of attention, love, and care. I completely understand how it feels to miss your little one when you’re away — I’ve been there too. That’s why I’ll keep you updated with frequent photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Jenna was great with taking care of our kitty while we were on vacation! She sent a pic with each check in, and we came home a happy cat! Jenna was super friendly and communicative and we will definitely use her again!”
About: At 19 I decided to become a dog groomer. Attended a grooming academy for 9 months part-time. Now going on 15 years Ive worked in Hostipal, salon and mobile settings. Clients have not only trusted me with giving them spa treatments, but have also allowed me into there homes to watch over there babies. I enjoy creating relationships with owners and their pets. I feel honored when trust is built over time and I get peep of excitement when pets see me. Working in the pet industry Ive learned and dealt with all types of pets. From senior to anxiety prone. I believe my calm demeanor allows me to build trust with nervous or anxious pets. I currently work part time so I have about 3 to 4 days that are open a week. The days are work are typically morning till early evening so I could possibly come by after a shift. I will follow your instructions on how and when your pets needs are met on a daily basis. If I am unsure, I will reach out and only when given your consent will I proceed.

Aurora took such great care of my Sadie once again. She was prompt for the scheduled times, fed and walked my girl, cleaned up any accidents, and gave extra love to her while I was gone. I so appreciate the photos and communication that kept me aware of how my Sadie was doing. I continue to highly recommend Aurora if you need a caring, reliable pet caregiver. Thank you Aurora.
Maryam was incredibly attentive and caring during the holidays. She visited Dora every day, spent time playing with her, and made sure she was comfortable and well cared for. She even helped groom Dora and brush her fur, which I really appreciated. It was very reassuring to know that Dora was getting not just food and basic care, but also attention and companionship while we were away. I’m very grateful to Maryam for her patience and kindness, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.

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.
