“Laura was incredible. She accommodated a last minute request, scheduled a next day meet and greet and was extremely easy to work with. On top of that, the dogs loved her and she sent photos/videos with every visit. The pups love their new North County sitter.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of pet sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have my own pup, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and loving to care for your pet. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, companionship while you’re away, or extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved! I work from home on my own flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m able to be reliable, attentive, and flexible to your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I treat both with the same care and respect I would my own. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable. I also love providing updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

“Amy is such a great sitter! I love my cat Rollie so much because she's like my baby. Every time I go away for a trip, my heart aches because I wish I could bring Rollie with me! But Amy made sure Rollie was in good hands. She's really attentive and she also made sure to send me updates with pictures to ensure Rollie was doing well. Thank you so much Amy!! 💗”

About: I’ve been walking and caring for dogs for over 10 years, and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! Every dog is welcome, and I’ll tailor my care to their unique personality, routine, and needs. I can make your routine my routine so your dog feels as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, runs, hikes, endless games of fetch, or simply relaxing at home, I’m happy to match their pace. If your pup has energy to burn, I’m more than happy to help them get it out. Whatever you and your dog are most comfortable with, I’ll make it happen. You’ll always receive photo updates and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing exactly how your pet is doing. My goal is to build a relationship with your dog so they’re excited to see me every time I walk through the door. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I make it a priority to give every pet the time and attention they deserve while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I care for every dog as if they were my own while respecting the routine you’ve established. During each visit, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, are fed according to your instructions, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and, of course, receive lots of attention and affection. I’ll also keep your home tidy, clean up after your dog, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. I’m happy to water plants, retrieve mail, or any other needs while I’m at your home. You will receive photo updates as frequent as you want. My goal is to make you and your pet feel comfortable.

About: Farm raised girl with snow white syndrome. I was a house and pet sitter for 2 vets in the San Francisco area, and I've recently relocated back home to San Diego. I specifically love sitting because it allows accept gig work in computer science. My only animal currently is a special needs geriatric cat that I've adopted, and she has her own room separate from visiting animals. As a former chef with holistic health background, I am capable of providing custom specialty diets for additional fees. I am happy to engage with pets in active training, mental play, and running. I am comfortable with infant animals and special needs animals. Anything I haven't seen before on special needs, I am happy to learn. Absolutely obsessed with brachycephalic dogs (where are my bullies at?!), and working dogs that often don't receive enough stimulation in their lifestyle (cattle dogs, I'm looking at you!). Geriatric cats and dogs are my soft spot. I currently work weekends only while changing my career industry, so I have M-F free! I am able to include runs in sitting care, but they need to be scheduled during temperate morning and evening times (this is for your dog's comfort as well.) I have a fenced yard and a medium-sized standard home crate. I am happy to sit at others homes- if the location is not close enough for morning/evening stops or requires a companion overnight, I request a cleaned area for my floor mat as I do not use western beds. This means houses with active pest issues such as cockroaches or spiders that may pose a health risk to me sleeping on the floor (if overnight required) will be rejected on site and any dispute will be referred to arbitration via Rover.

About: Ive had a variety of pets since my first fish tank at age six. Ive responsibly taken great care of all animals Ive had personally or have helped with. Im an empathetic person that is happy to be able to be there for all pets and animals in general. Ive helped rescue and return home many lost dogs; my heart is in helping. My schedule is very flexible; I can accommodate most requests and will always communicate to ensure everything and everyone is taken care of. I am here and ready to help. My dog wallace is wonderfully kind and playful. She has a huge heart and enjoys every person and animal she meets. We play in our fenced backyard with grass for relaxing in sun or shade. My senior cat mostly stays in one room and does her own thing; she has met several dogs that have stayed with us and has had no problem with any. There are three parks and a well landscaped college campus within easy walking distance for interesting, enriching walks.

About: Hi! I've been lucky enough to grow up with animals my whole life, and I can't imagine life without them. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish, frogs, a bearded dragon, and even a tortoise. Being around so many different animals has taught me that every pet has their own personality, quirks, and way of showing love. I have experience with pets of all ages, from young kittens to senior dogs. One of my own dogs lived to be 16 years old, so I understand the extra patience, attention, and care that older pets sometimes need. I also attended training classes with him, which helped me learn more about understanding dog behavior and building trust through positive reinforcement. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. I’m also a runner and very active myself, so I love keeping up with energetic dogs and getting plenty of exercise and outdoor time together! My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I'll always do my best to keep you updated with photos and messages. I'd love the chance to meet you and your pets and help make your time away a little less stressful! As a recent graduate currently applying to grad schools nearby, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m able to plan my days around walks, drop-ins, and playtime, making sure pets get consistent attention and care. I’m also happy to do overnight stays when needed. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable in their own home, and I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Because my schedule is flexible right now, I’m able to be reliable and fully present for each booking without overcommitting. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities and always adjust to what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether they’re energetic or more laid-back, I give them the attention and care they need. I also respect your home and keep things tidy, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I've been a cat parent for the past six years, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands while you're away. Caring for my cat has taught me the importance of patience, attention, and creating a safe, loving environment. I've also spent a lot of time around dogs and absolutely love being with animals. Whether it's going for a walk, playing, or simply keeping them company, I genuinely enjoy making pets feel happy and comfortable. I'll care for your pets as if they were my own and will always make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for. I work full-time during the week, so I'm available for pet care on weekday evenings and most weekends. I'm happy to provide drop-in visits, dog walks, and cat care outside of my work hours. I'll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet receives reliable, attentive care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine and follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and any special preferences. I'll treat your home with respect, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away.

Cindy’s love for animals was apparent during our meet and greet. Bella LOVED her and immediately asked for pets and belly rubs as soon as she walked in the door! Cindy was very conscientious about asking questions about Bella’s care, she was very reliable and showed up twice a day on time and sent the most ADORABLE pics of Bella playing and having fun. My cat means a lot to me and I don’t like to leave her, and Cindy put my mind at ease that she was given proper attention in my absence. I recommend Cindy to anyone needing quality pet care!

Nycole was fantastic. One of the best pet sitters we've had. Our cats are friendly, but can be somewhat reserved to strangers. They took to Nycole immediately, even letting her hold them. Nycole was responsible, timely, and professional. She spent a good deal of time playing & entertaining the cats during her visits. Nycole asked if we needed any small extra efforts, such brining in patio furniture before an upcoming storm. Nycole is 5 stars all the way!

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 .

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
