About: I love surfing and going on adventures with dogs. I have cared for all types of dogs of all ages. I love them all very much. I am a full time dog sitter and walker. I love taking my dogs to the dog park in Encinitas and long walks on the coast! I do not board the dogs at my home. I am honest and trustworthy, I have taken care of dogs for many years in San Diego.
“Tori was a great sitter for my cat. Kept in good contact with me from first contact through the visit. She spent time with my cat and completed all the tasks each day. I appreciated the photos each day. I will book her again.”
About: I have owned, walked, and dog sat for neighbors/friends since I was in high school. I love every dog and they are all good dogs! I currently work Sundays and Thursdays all day but I can be flexible depending on my client schedule. Request it and I can let you know if it works:) I am great at following any instructions. Whatever you have requested of me I will be happy to do! Dogs deserve the best so I will make sure your dog is happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve had a dog in my life since I was born, grew up with 3 dogs and have taken care of them throughout my life. My father trained many dogs as well as entering into multiple dog shows. I’m currently working remotely so I have pretty much unlimited time to care for pets whether that’s at a house or taking them to the beach. I have two dogs as of now so I know how to feed, cage, and support the dogs throughout the stay with them. As well as taking them on walks when needed.
About: I'm a dog owner myself. I have had a senior dog that needed medication. I've had foster dogs of all shapes and types. I'd say I treat my dogs almost like humans. They get tons of love, attention, words of affirmation, and TLC. I turn music on for them if I need to leave. My pet friends are my biggest source of joy and I do all that I can to adhere to any schedules, special requests, and whatever it takes to keep my doggie friends happy and comfortable. I work from home full time. The busiest time in my work day is from 7-10am for remote meetings. I have a lot of flexibility for walks, dog park outings, and cuddle time. I am on meetings so excessive barkers could be a little tough. I have a large fenced yard where doggies love to sniff and roam and explore. I am generally outside observing. I have a large grassy yard that is fully fenced. I always join my doggie friends outside to make sure they are safe and not getting into any trouble. My goal is to make sure my pet friend has frequent breaks outside, walks as needed, and a comfortable and quiet home to nap and do their thing. There are no small children here. I have 2 dogs of my one - a 10 year old male, 25lb mixed poodle terrier and a 2 year old male, 11lb mixed poodle mutt. They both like easy going dogs. Both are neutered.
About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up with both cats and dogs taught me early how to care for pets with love and patience. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for my friends whenever they go out of town, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just making sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always do my best to match their energy and routines. Whether your furry friend is energetic and playful or more laid-back and shy, I’ve got them covered! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m available for regular walks, drop-ins, or extended care depending on your pet’s needs. I keep my availability up to date and do my best to be reliable and consistent, so you can count on me to stick to your pet’s routine. I’m also happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines and walk preferences to any special needs or behaviors. I take extra care to ensure doors, gates, and crates are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended longer than agreed. I stay attentive during walks and in the home to keep your pet safe at all times. You can expect clear communication and regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Emily was so wonderful during her drop in visits with our sweet Luna girl! Luna loved her and Emily is a natural with animals. She provides excellent updates and is very thorough and thoughtful! Highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up with dogs, both big and small, including my own as well as fostered puppies my whole life. I am home sick and missing loving my furry friends at home. I currently work from home 5 days a week and have a flexible schedule. I live a very active lifestyle and love to go on walks. I have a very pet friendly environment and have taken care of multiple of my friends dogs. My apartment is animal friendly with space, comfortability, and allows us to tend to animal needs.
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.
About: Intuitive dog caretaker. Your pup's needs are my number one priority. I adapt to your fur baby's needs. When they want a long walk, I'm their guide. When they want extra belly rubs, I've got lots of love to give. I understand how tough it can be to trust someone with your dog. The good news is that dogs recognize "dog people." I'll make your dog feel comfortable and ensure every need is met. I'm a freelancer and work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I can accommodate almost any schedule, and I'm usually available at a moment's notice if needed. For pet sitting, I offer services in the client's home. I feel like this is the best arrangement for the pup. They get to stay in their familiar environment, and they know they're at home. Maybe it's irrational, but I worry about how a dog will feel when they're left at someone else's house, especially if it's not something they're used to. When I stay at a client's home, the client can feel confident that their home and pet will be treated with the utmost care. I respect property and take care of any pet as if they were my own. I sympathize with the stress an animal may feel when their pack is somewhere else, so I do everything possible to ensure the pet is happy in your absence.
“Crista was great! Quickly responded to my request and had a nice meet and greet. Sent updates and pictures of our cat while we were away, collected our mail and cleaned up food dishes. Very happy we found her!”
About: I started dog walking and pet sitting 5 years ago. Desiring a dog of my own, my private yoga and Pilates clients started saying "watch mine!" and quickly I became booked for dog sitting most weekends and almost all summer. I grew up with horses and three dogs so I am very comfortable around animals of all kinds. A former Division I volleyball player, I'm active and love taking a daily walk or two listening to a podcast, so I might as well bring a dog along! I'm single and do not have children so my schedule is flexible. I do work in person in an office in Cardiff but am able to care for dogs before work, at lunch, and after work. My weekends are free. I do not care for pets in my own home but am happy to care for them in their own homes whether it is coming over for a visit or walk or dogsitting/catsitting and staying the night.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Cardiff is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cardiff
Simone is wonderful! She took such great care of our senior golden retriever…feeding, walking, and giving her medicine, massages and lots of special attention. Simone is very trustworthy, responsive and communicative, and she sent me photos every day. I recommend her 100%
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!
Ari is EXCEPTIONAL!!! We have a VERY uncomfortable 11 yr old pup and do not ever leave her alone. She warmed up to Ari extremely fast. Her communication was excellent. You can instantly tell her love for pups (animals) Couldn’t be happier finding her on this App. We will absolutely be using her in the future and are thrilled with the peace of mind knowing our pup is in incredible hands ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Emily was a very attentive and responsive cat sitter, especially considering our request was very last minute. She really went the extra mile checking to make sure her automatic litter box cleaner was functioning correctly and when she noticed it wasn’t working with me to help troubleshoot it. Would recommend anyone looking for reliable pet care!
Cary is a wonderful caring petsitter. She was just the right person to stay with our shy, quirky, older Bernese Mountain Dog. She understood that our girl is shy and needed to make the first moves to become friends, which Cary understood and they became good friends. Communication was great, lots of cute pics from walks and chilling out. 100% happy, 100% would use her again. Highly recommend her!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cardiff stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 with handling special pet needs in Cardiff. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
