About: Bare minimum care for animals is not accepted in my house. I only offer the absolute best I can give for every furry friend. I've owned and cared for almost every category of critter you can come up with (Birds, reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, cats, dogs, etc.!) Almost all my passions revolve around animals and always have, I spend most of my time helping people with their own pets when I'm not caring for mine. I also am starting out in dog training and have two years experience with a few types of canine training. My own dog is an exceptionally trained GSD that's helped this journey. Along with that, I have been helping with rehabilitating and releasing wild animals in need for almost three years. I am very passionate about rescues and almost all my animals are rescued by either shelters, brought to me, or found by me. I hope to build a career in helping people and their animals in every way I possibly can ❤ I'm currently gaining experience for dog training and I help with wild animal rehabilitation along with shelter work. I'm free most days of the week since I'm able to choose my working hours. For drop in visits I follow pet owner instructions exactly to ensure every pet has their needs met. I offer the most exceptional care that I possibly can for each animal and am capable of caring for just about any pet. Senior, challenged, puppy, untrained, none are challenging for me. 💕
About: I have had dogs ever since I could remember. I can bathe, walk, run, feed, and relax with your pets! I have taken care of pets for family, neighbors and even customers at my work rely on me for feeding and relaxing with their dogs! I am familiar with taking care of young puppies and older senior pups! I am very willing to learn routines and understand your pet(s)! I’m currently working part-time and full-time school. Don’t worry! I still have tons of time to care and play with your pups and kitties! On Mondays and Wednesdays I can meet with your pet anytime after 12:30pm. Tuesdays and Thursdays (occasionally Sundays; please contact me if needed) I can provide care after 3pm. Saturdays and Sundays I can provide services early mornings, nothing past 10:30am. If needed house-sitting/overnight sitting, please contact me and I can help figure out a time that works for both parties! In other clients homes, I provide a calm environment until the pet opens up to me and engages for play, food, or relaxation. I am familiar with strict feeding routines and strict times for potty or outside play and walks. I am willing to learn more and understand what each pet needs.
About: Hi, I'm Anna! I am a passionate, highly trained animal lover dedicated to giving your pet the safest and most fun experience possible. Since March, I have been an active volunteer with the Sacramento SPCA, where I have completed intensive online courses and hands-on, in-person training in canine behavior, body language, and socialization. I am fully certified to handle and walk the shelter's Green and Orange color-coded dogs. Because of my training and reliability, the SPCA also trusts me with their Foster Furlough program for their highest-need Pink color-coded dogs. This means I regularly take these advanced-level dogs out of the shelter environment for day trips and overnight stays in my home to give them a break. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, structured socialization, or just an attentive and loving overnight companion, I know exactly how to read their body language and keep them safe in real-world situations. I have a very flexible part-time schedule, my own reliable vehicle for check-ins, and a deep commitment to following your exact house rules and routines. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I don’t work so I’m home pretty much all time unless I’m running errands. I’m available Tuesday-sat to come and help out with your babies!! I have a fenced yard but always prefer to watch them while there going potty or playing! I’d also be able to crate them if needed:)
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14, watching over neighbors’ and others’ animals, including dogs, snakes, a bearded dragon, and cats. I’ve also had cats of my own since I was 8—five in total—and currently care for two on my own. What makes me stand out as a sitter is my ability to connect with animals, especially those that take time to warm up to new people. I’m patient, observant, and always prioritize their comfort. Whether it’s recognizing subtle body language, engaging in enrichment activities, or simply providing calm companionship, I adapt to each pet’s individual needs. In addition to pet care, I have worked as a nanny for young children (ages 4, 2, and 6 months). This experience has strengthened my attentiveness, patience, and ability to balance multiple responsibilities at once—skills that also translate into pet care. I’m experienced in maintaining structured routines, ensuring safety, and providing comfort, which makes me well-equipped to care for pets with different personalities and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering not just basic care but also companionship and reassurance. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make them feel at ease while you’re away! I will have to go home to feed and spend some time with my two kitties, Pumpkin & Hazelnut, but I also always find time to spend time with your pets as well. As of now I am looking for employment so my schedule is pretty open I provide pet care in the comfort of your home, ensuring your pet stays in a familiar and stress-free environment. Every pet is different, so I follow your specific routines, guidelines, and house rules to keep things as consistent as possible. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walk routines, playtime, or medication needs, I prioritize your pet’s well-being and comfort while respecting your home. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take extra care to follow any instructions you provide, from home security measures to special pet needs. I also keep you updated with messages, photos, or check-ins so you have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care so your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their own space.
“I'm hesitant to write this review only because I want to keep Jourdan forever! She was absolutely fantastic with our cat, Binx, during our weekend getaway. He adored her and we came home to a very happy Binxy. He was well fed and taken care of. She's super punctual and communicative - I felt as though Binx was in great hands. The updates and pictures were so appreciated! ?I can't wait to have the opportunity to travel again and hire her!”
“Heather cared for Snarfle for a second time, and Snarfle enjoyed Heather's visit for a second time. Heather's calm energy is really great for my elderly kitty who experiences separation anxiety anytime I leave. Heather is #SnarfleApproved.”
“Gladys was amazing! She went above and beyond for Oreo. She was so considerate, asked me how much I would like to be updated per day, shared how Oreo was doing physically and emotionally (Oreo was so comfortable and happy there). All of the items I dropped off with Oreo were cleaned and returned perfectly. Gladys even asked if Oreo could have some of her Churu treats. So kind! Thank you Gladys!”
“Coryn was fantastic! She went above and beyond in making sure everything was tidy for when I came back and sent the best updates while I was away. Can't wait to have her pet sit for me again in the future!”
“Stephanie is great with my cat! She spent time with him and took great pictures. She is quick to respond to messages and very flexible with timing. Thanks so much for taking care of George 😺”
“Emily was a great sitter! Our cat loved her. She took special care to learn all about him. She took note of how he likes to play, what food he likes, and even the little things that we do for him when we are home. We are looking forward to hiring her again!”
About: I have experience caring for my own two dogs and previously cared for my cat for many years. Through caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and recognizing when a pet needs extra attention or comfort. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, love, and care I would give my own. I attend college fully online, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. Your pet will receive consistent care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and walks. Because I attend college fully online, I’m home most of the time and can provide frequent bathroom breaks, exercise, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. For everyone’s safety and comfort, my own dogs will always be kept completely separate from any pets in my care. They will never be in the same room or have direct contact. This allows me to provide a calm, safe environment while giving your pet my full attention and ensuring every animal remains comfortable.
“Whitney went the extra mile in her care for our cat, Tigger. He was happy I could tell because Whitney took a video of him every time she came and a picture when she left. It felt that he is while I was away and will definitely have Whitney back. 😻”
“Bree stepped in somewhat last-minute in place of our usual sitter and was a joy to work with. Friendly, communicative, and went above and beyond to care for our goofy lil tabby cat while we were away on vacation.”
“Would recommend Taviana to absolutely everyone. She was so good with my cats and they loved her. She was punctual and even went above and beyond to get my Frankie a toy to celebrate his birthday. We will definitely be booking her every time we go out of town!”
“Zetta, is simply the best! Professional, trustworthy, and genuinely caring, they provided outstanding care for our cat while we were away. We loved receiving updates and photos, and our cat was happy and relaxed when we returned home. We wouldn't hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone needing pet care.”
About: I am very attentive to each pets individual needs, I treat them with the same care I do my own. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible in their owners absence. I love dogs + cats & the joy, peace and emotional security they provide. Up until the Covid shutdown I co-parented a 3 year old Chorkie, 2 year old Pit/Lab Mix and a 4 year old Cat who were my entire world!...I am now furmom to a 2yr old Tabby named Smokie Loaf lol. I have cared for pets both personally and as a job on and off for roughly 15years now not including caring for my own pets. They say if you do something you love it'll never feel like work and that's what being around animals is for me; Something I love to do... I am available for day visits and overnight stays as well as extended vacation sitting in your home with considerable notice.. Please note: I am disabled and walk with a cane, therefore I unfortunately cannot climb stairs exceeding 5-6 steps. I currently work fulltime Monday-Friday remote with some flexibility but my late evenings and saturdays are wide open for cuddles and playtime with your furry family. Lets see how we can work together! Please note: I am disabled and walk with a cane, therefore I unfortunately cannot climb stairs exceeding 5-6 steps. When caring for pets in your home, I will adhere to any and all safety protocols you have in place, I can easily crate your pet if required and provide support on a case by case basis. Please note: I am disabled and walk with a cane, therefore I unfortunately cannot climb stairs exceeding 5-6 steps.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, which has taught me how to truly understand them, their body language, their moods, and their needs. I know all the signs to watch for during walks, from when they’re curious and excited to when they might be anxious or tired. My experience helps me ensure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to each dog’s unique personality. Caring for dogs is naturally part of my daily routine because it’s something I truly enjoy. I plan my days around giving each dog the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s a morning walk to start their day right or an evening stroll to wind down. When walking your dog, I focus on safety, comfort, and fun. I follow your instructions carefully whether it’s leash preferences, potty breaks, or special needs. I keep a close eye on their behavior to make sure they’re happy and relaxed, and I always bring fresh water if needed. Your dog’s well being is my top priority every step of the way.

Lexie took great care of our husky pup and kitty. We will definitely have her back, she communicated well and sent lots of cute pics with updates about our babies. They also loved her, our tabby is usually very shy but she came out for pets for Lexie. Thanks again, we hope to have you back on our next trip😻🐶
Jasmeen was fantastic watching our cats during our extended trip. Since we’ve used her before, we already knew they’d be in great hands, and she went out of her way to accommodate our schedule. She is truly one of the best sitters on Rover, we couldn’t recommend her more!
Jourdan was absolutely amazing! Both of our senior dogs, Winston and Oliver, are declining in health, and one of them became quite sick just before we left for vacation. She went above and beyond to make sure our sick dog ate something, taking the extra time, patience, and care he needed instead of simply rushing through the visit. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about his well-being. She also followed all of our care instructions carefully and kept us updated with detailed messages and photos after each visit, which meant so much to us. Caring for aging dogs with health issues isn't always easy, but it never seemed to be a problem for Jourdan. She treated Winston and Oliver with kindness, compassion, and so much love. We came home to two happy dogs and knew they had been in the best possible hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Jourdan to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and compassionate pet sitter who truly goes above and beyond. We will absolutely trust her with Winston and Oliver again.
Stephanie was such a great sitter for our cat, Jojo. We were out of town for almost two weeks, and Stephanie made us feel at ease when she checked in daily with Jojo. Our cat is not the most social or easy cat to deal and Stephanie handled it like a pro. Stephanie was quick to respond and went the extra mile on many occasions. We highly recommend her for watching your pets.

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 .
