About: What Sets Me Apart 🐾 I’ve spent years working closely with animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, reptiles, and more. 🧒🐶 For nearly a decade, I ran the summer camp at my local Humane Society, caring for animals daily and teaching kids how to do the same. 🐕🦺 I’ve raised dogs my whole life and once cared for seven huskies—from newborn pups to seniors. 😺 I have plenty of experience with cats, including shy ones, playful ones, and those who need extra patience. What sets me apart is my mix of hands-on experience, dependability, and a calm, respectful approach to each pet’s personality. Whether it’s drop-ins or keeping them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their own space. I have a flexible work schedule and plenty of time for pet care. I also go on lots of walks, so your pup will get plenty of fresh air and exercise! 🐕🦺🌳 When I care for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, routine, and safety. 🏡 I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medication, or favorite spots for walks or naps. I make sure doors, gates, and anything hazardous are secure, and I take the time to build trust with each pet so they feel calm and cared for while you’re away. 🐾
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of different breeds and ages for as long as I can remember! I have experience administering medication to senior dogs. I love to do more than just feed and check on them, like play, walk, and cuddle! I have two kitties of my own, and we have had wiener dogs in the family since childhood! I’m pretty open and available to follow your schedule! I typically have gone twice a day when I watch my friend’s animals, it just depends on what they prefer and what they think is best! I am very flexible. I will care for your pets and home as if they are my own! I love animals, it’s a pleasure to spend time with them. I will accommodate to your pets needs as you see fit!
“Emily did an amazing job watching our babies. We had never used Rover before and were a little apprehensive about it but she exceeded our expectations. She was very communicative and often sent pictures and updates, which we loved! She was also very respectful of our house as well. We could tell that she really cared for our cats well beings and went above and beyond to spend time with them. We look forward to being able to now have someone we trust to watch our pets in the future. (:”
About: I’ve owned pets my entire life, mainly dogs. I have owned a variety of breeds but mainly chihuahuas, and now care for my German Shepherd and two cats daily. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, training basics, and reading pet body language to keep animals safe and comfortable. I’ve pet-sat for neighbors, including caring for a diabetic dog requiring insulin injections and a special diet. I’m confident administering medication, following routines precisely, and monitoring health needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Your animal’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first. I update my availability based on my class schedule. I’m looking to use my extra time doing something I enjoy like caring for animals. My schedule allows me to be available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with owners to find times that fit your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I take the time to understand each animal’s routine, needs, and personality so they feel secure while you’re away. In your home, I want to know feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, preferred walking routes, and any house rules you have in place. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior that might signal stress or discomfort. I keep a calm, clean environment and ensure pets have fresh water and attention tailored to their energy level. You can expect regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel confident trusting me with your pets and for them to feel safe, loved, and respected in my care.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 13. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to keep their pets happy while they are gone! I’m working part time, so pet sitting/walking will fit perfectly into my routine! I can perfectly alter my schedule and daily life to cater to your needs! I can easily follow any instructions in order to keep your pet happy. I can crate, walk when necessary, let out, and play with your pet whenever you need
About: With a background as a kennel technician, I bring hands-on experience and a deep love for animals to my pet sitting services.

Whether it’s administering medication, providing gentle care for older animals, or ensuring your pets get plenty of exercise and affection, I’m committed to keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mother, I enjoy a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of needs, including specialized pet care services and personalized attention. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets feel like part of the family. I maintain routines similar to their own homes, including feeding schedules, exercise, and playtime, to help reduce stress and keep them happy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to ensure consistency and comfort for the pets.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Capitola
She was absolutely amazing! You can tell she genuinely loves animals and really cares about them. She was incredibly detail-oriented with all of my pet care instructions. She even came over a few days before the booking to go through everything with me, and then came back again the day before I left just to make sure she had everything right. She took photos and kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, she gave my fur baby so much love and attention when I couldn’t be there. I’m so grateful to have found her! From now on, whenever I travel, I know I can leave home without worrying. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable!

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 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.
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.
