“Bobbie is exceptional! She was able to comfort my two very shy cats while we were away. They get depressed and anxious whenever we take a trip. Bobbie sent photos and videos through out her visit. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have cared for dogs since I was about 7 years old. I’ve owned or have pet sat for all ages, sizes, and breeds. From puppies, to 15 year old doggos, I’ve got your back! I am currently a student, so making a couple of pup friends sounds like a great way to spend time outside, get active, and be helpful! I have a fenced yard and two cats. I always walk dogs on a leash, on the sidewalk, in well lit, pet-friendly/safe areas. I have multiple dog parks nearby that I would be open to taking your dog to (upon request only).
About: I have had pets all my life, from dogs, birds, fish, and have 4 cats of my own at home. I love animals, and have worked with pets with health problems, senior pets, young puppies and kittens, and am not afraid to take on any of these challenges. I don't see it as a challenge! I have open availability, so I can drop in and spend time with your pets whenever you're needing it. I am happy to scoop litter boxes, or clean up after dogs as well. I am happy to feed, water, and play with your pets while you're away. I feed our cats twice a day, and they always have access to fresh water, and I play with them every day.
About: As a former veterinary assistant with five years of hands-on experience, I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. My background has given me the skills to recognize changes in behavior, handle pets safely and confidently, and provide compassionate care—even for anxious or special-needs animals. You can trust that your pets will be treated like family, with plenty of love, patience, and attention on every walk. Currently I work full time but I’m looking for a side hustle. I’m open to checking in on your pets after 5pm Mon-Fri if needed and I’m off on weekends so I can be available all weekend. I provide reliable in-home pet care by following your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and keeping their living area clean while you’re away.
About: I have been taking care of animals for about 10 years and counting. My family has been fostering dogs, of all ages and breeds, since before I can remember. I was taught how to properly care for animals over the years. I am knowledgeable on what your pet needs and ready to care for them while you are away. I’m currently on summer break from school, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! Very open and flexible availability. Starting the 24th my schedule will change, but my availability will be consistent and will remain flexible. While I am currently not able to care for pets in my own home, I will make sure to clearly communicate with you in order to make sure your needs are met.
About: I currently have 1 dog, 4 cats and 1 lizard. I have dog sat for family and friends for years. I dog sit on weekends at a senior dog boarding with up to 16 senior dogs at a time. I have experience giving oral, topical, ear/eye drops and injections to both dogs and cats. I have volunteered with TNR, helped rescue cats and finding them loving homes. I have been a medical assistant for 16 years and I’m currently in nursing school. I am a nursing student with classes Monday-Thursday, I'm available evenings and weekends. I love all animals, I can walk dogs, I can stop by for house visits and do overnights. I have lots of experience walking 3 dogs at a time, its challenging but very do-able. I have 4 cats so I am very vigilant of keeping them safely inside. I open the door carefully every single time and always make sure windows are closed and screen is intact. I am a little ocd with cleaning and making sure there is nothing toxic or poisonous in the house that can cause them any danger. When walking my dog Lola (who likes to eat everything) I am constantly scanning for things she might want to eat like chicken bones, old food or anything that might smell good to her. I will get it out of her mouth if she manages to get to something. I am very aware of my surroundings and checking that the house is safe.
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and that passion has only grown over the years. As a proud dog mom for more than 15 years, caring for furbabies brings me so much joy—it's truly my dopamine! Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or providing a safe and loving environment, I treat every pet like family and care for them as if they were my own. Pet care isn't just something I fit into my daily schedule, it's a part of my lifestyle and something that truly brings me joy 🐾 As a devoted dog mom with over 15 years of experience, my days and nights naturally revolve around caring for my furbabies, providing love, attention, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Welcoming your precious pup for a petcation fits perfectly into my routine because caring for animals is already second nature to me. I enjoy making every furbaby feel safe, comfortable, loved, and part of the family. Whether it's walks, playtime, relaxation, or extra TLC, I'll make sure your baby enjoys a little vacation of their own while you're away. Your baby won't just be a guest, they will be part of our family🐶💕 My home is central air-conditioned and heating. My backyard is fully fenced in. I work from home and have plenty of space for them to roam around, play and get comfy.Crates in our home are used as luxuries if they wanna nap or have personal space . They are also used for feeding time if they are a food protector. I enjoy giving them individual attention. Every pet requires different things and I like to learn them to cater to their needs.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion and extensive, hands-on experience caring for a diverse range of species. I have been dedicated to pet care since middle school and have personally kept and cared for a wide variety of animals over the years. My multi-species experience includes:Mammals: Dogs, cats, chinchillas, rabbits, gerbils, and mice.Reptiles & Amphibians: Bearded dragons, geckos, anoles, and snakes.Birds: Pigeons and finches.Invertebrates & Aquatic Life: Tarantulas, scorpions, roaches, hermit crabs, and freshwater fish.As a dedicated multi-species pet parent, I cannot imagine life without animals. I view the unique dietary, environmental, or medical needs of exotic pets and traditional companions alike as a privilege to accommodate, never a hindrance. 🐾 Introductory Rate Note: I am brand new to the Rover platform but have over 20 years of personal animal care experience! My rates are temporarily discounted while I build up my profile reviews—book now to lock in this special pricing! As an experienced pet parent to a variety of animals, caring for pets seamlessly blends into my daily life. While I work a standard Monday–Friday shift, I have dedicated blocks of time completely open for your pets. On weekdays, I am fully available before 11:00 PM and after 8:30 PM. On weekends, my schedule is wide open. Because I don't have children, my free time and energy are completely devoted to giving fur, scale, and feather babies the specialized care and attention they deserve. ***For reptiles, birds, and small rodents, please book them as a 'cat' profile so the app processes the request properly! I strictly follow established care plans and routines to ensure your pet enjoys maximum comfort and consistency while you are away.

“Milla watched my cats for a long trip and she is great at communicating and was very professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She responded quickly when I had questions and my cats really liked her. She kept my space clean and tidy for when I came home as well. Thank you Milla!”
About: I was raised by veterinarian and trained to love and care for different animals. I currently own a dog and cat and my goal is to give pets the best time in this world! I am a freelancer so I have a flexible schedule that helps me take care of my pets and others people pets. I take my dog to dog parks and long walks which can work for other high energy dogs I take care of other people pets like they are my own.

About: I’m mama to four crazy cats: Mark, Quid, Star, and Wally. They’re the most recent squad in a long line of kitties ( + one doggy!) that came before. I’m very comfortable around sassy pets, as well as ones with special diets or medication needs. I took care of my Delia doggy for 3 years, with all her rambunctious walks and homemade meals. I’m currently working part-time evenings in La Mesa, typically 3:00p-8:30p at the most. I am off work and completely free on Mon/Tue/, but I am available throughout the week to drop-in and housesit, provided I can fit it around my work schedule. I’m very flexible! I’m ready to handle any special dietary requirements (including cooking), as well as medication needs. I’m comfortable with crating dogs and/or banishing cats to a certain part of the residence. I have a bunch of little escape artists, so I’m always careful to account for everyone and keep the space organized.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Calavo Gardens
Charlie did a fantastic job visiting our 10 year old Maine Coon. It was a last minute booking because we needed to do an unexpected overnighter for a family matter, and our regular Rover wasn't available. Charlie was very punctual, sent us photos, and even did a few minor chores for us while she was here. She's very personable and friendly. Everything was great when we got back. We would not hesitate to call on Charlie again.
This was our second time asking Sahba to take care of our cats, and once again she did an amazing job. Sahba asked questions whenever something came up, which gave us peace of mind. She also sent us lots of photos and videos of our cats while we were away. We felt completely comfortable leaving our home and our cats in her care. We highly recommend her!
I’m so happy we stumbled upon Narges profile. She was super communicative from the start. She happily hopped on a facetime with us so we could be crazy cat ladies and explain the idiosyncrasies of feeding our cats. Every text exchange felt like it was with a friend …She sent pictures of our cats to us which made us so happy on vacation. 10/10 recommend Narges! :)
Ashley is my go to cat sitter! I appreciate her flexibility, love and wisdom for animals, and her kind personality. Sola loves her! She takes pictures - keeping me abreast of what’s Sola is up to. I love the cuddle pictures… warms my heart knowing Sola feels safe, loved, and comfortable when I am away. I’m grateful that I’ve found Ashley -knowing Sola is in good hands lessens my worries when I travel!!
Kelsey was incredible! She was so kind and communicative with me about my kitties and any issues that arose (for example, my automatic litterbox got stuck and needed to be manually reset). I can tell she truly has a deep love and respect for all animals. One of my cats is very shy usually but by day 2 he was coming out to see her for treats and toys during their drop in! I came home to happy and healthy animals and Kelsey was even kind enough to bring my Amazon packages inside. This was a great experience and I’ll be using her in the future again for sure!

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. 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.
