“CJ is the greatest! My dogs really live hanging out with her and it is such a relief to come home to calm relaxed dogs who had a great day when we are gone. She pays close attention to the details and really goes the extra mile to make sure my babies are happy and I stay up to date on how they are doing! We will definitely be seeing more of CJ in the future!”
“We stayed at the Ritz Carlton and Matthew was able to come pick up our Frenchy and take him to his home down the street for afternoon playtime each day. He would then return him after we left for dinner to his crate in our room. Our pup was relaxed and calm and so excited to see Matthew when he’d pick him up.”
“Angelica is very reliable and quick to respond. She was available last minute. It’s wonderful to have someone that we can trust. She is very sweet with our two rescue dogs 💕”
About: I had a golden retriever for 13 years that I lost last year. I love animals with all my heart and would love to spend as much time with all pets as a I can. I cared for and trained my dog his whole life, especially in his old age before his passing. I also have babysat for many years, and have experience with kids and pets alike as a result. I’m a college student at USC working a remote internship while I stay with my parents this summer. As a result, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and would love to work with you to create a working schedule! We have a fenced front/backyard with a pool. If you would like, I can keep your pets only in the front yard for playing if you would like them away from the pool. We have a large yard and a large house with plenty of room for your pet to play!
“Mary did an outstanding job looking after my precious boy, Cornelius. The photos and comments she sent were adorable and gave me peace of mind. It was a delight to come home to a happy cat that had been loved, cared for, and pampered in my absence. I am lucky to have found Mary and would re-book her in a heartbeat. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“My dogs loooove you!!Thank you so much for loving and caring for them like I do!! It's such peace of mind knowing you adore them and treat them like your own!!! Until next time! 🤗 XO”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. From my childhood German Shepherd to my first puppy, I’ve always had a special connection with dogs. That explains why I live happily with two fur-babies, Rigatoni and Millie. Between caring for my clients pets and pets of my own over the last decade, I believe I have attained the necessary skills to properly care for any house pet no matter the size or temperament. I understand the love and attention our fellow canine friends need. I make it my responsibility to keep my client's pets active, regular, well-fed and properly groomed. I stick to a schedule and prefer a 24-hour notice, but I can definitely remain lenient with last minute conflicts as we all have them at one point or another. That said, I work from home and can certainly be flexible with your schedule. I am almost always willing to make special accommodations. I graduated from UCLA and work as a media planner for Ohio State University. In my free time, I’m always looking for flexible ways to combine my passions with work. I work from home and am free every day of the week. I live in a home with a large fenced backyard and tons of shade. I enjoy walking my dogs in the evening when it has cooled down a bit but I am totally willing and able to take your fur baby on as many walks as they need to stay healthy and happy. Additionally, I can always crate your fur baby or keep them in a private room if necessary.
“Henry did an AMZING job taking care of our Gepetto! We are going to book her regularly and I can’t rave enough about her! Super thorough and kept us updated and sent lovely photos. Thanks Henny!”
“Sarah has always done a wonderful job taking care of our dogs. She’s very cautious and very sweet to them. We highly recommend her if you need someone to watch your babies.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every pet in my care. As a dedicated dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to have someone patient, reliable, and truly attentive watching over your fur baby. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I intentionally plan my week to make sure every pet in my care receives dependable attention, patience, and love. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully so pets feel secure in their familiar space. I also keep homes tidy and respect each client’s preferences and boundaries.
About: Growing up with multiple pets sparked my passion for animal care, and I’ve been officially caring for dogs for the past four years. Friends and family regularly entrust me with their pets, whether they’re away or unable to meet their pet’s needs. I have experience with dogs of various ages, from playful puppies as young as 3 months to senior dogs up to 12 years old. Although I work part-time, I prioritize pet care in my daily routine. I ensure consistent feeding, cleaning, and observation, and I maintain a flexible routine to consistently meet the animals’ needs throughout the week. I understand that pets can sometimes feel anxious when their owners are away, so I focus on making them feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I also like to gather information about each pet’s preferences, such as their favorite spots to relax and activities they enjoy, to help create a familiar and reassuring experience.
About: I have dedicated my life, after the tragic loss of my beloved Sake the Shiba, to caring for and showing kindness and love to dogs . I specialize in older dogs but welcome puppies as well. I have 20+ years of experience ranging from puppies to seniors. I work from a home, so my commute is short, and am able to set my own schedule. This enables me to be available on short notice I have a space without other dogs or pets so that I can focus soley on the needs of your beloved dog. without any distractions.
“Kevin watched my cat for a week and did a superb job! The communication was constant, and he went above and beyond to ensure my cat was safe in the house on these hot summer days. He's a sitter I will definitely call again when I need services. Thanks Kevin !”
“Erika is an absolute gem! We chose to work with her because we have two cats and saw she had experience specifically with kitties. Erika went above and beyond to care for our babies while we were away for a trip. She spent long quality time with them and sent plenty of adorable photos in each update! Whenever we go away again, we will definitely feel secure with her care and can tell she is for sure a cat person with a calm and comforting demeanor. Thanks again!!”

CJ. DID A WONDERFUL JOB TAKING CARE OF MY 3 BOY CATS. I COULDN'T HAVE FELT MORE SECURE WITH CJ LOOKING AFTER THEM, HER CARE AND CONCERN ABOUT THEM WAS VERY REASSURING, BEING AWAY FOR SEVERAL WEEKS....I WILL DEFINATELY USE HER SERVICES AGAIN. I AM VERY GRATEFUL.
I met Megan for the meet and greet for her to drop in to check on my cat while we were out of town for a few days and I immediately trusted her. I appreciate her excellent communication and as a bonus she took great photos of my cat which made me feel even more at ease. She was super helpful and followed all care requests perfectly. I will definitely be rebooking!
Melissa was the best possible answer for our need to care for our 3 cats during our vacation! She did everything we asked and more. She clearly cares a lot and knows what she is doing. The kitties were all healthy and happy when we got home, and the photos we received while we were gone show that our shy cats warmed up to her right away. The house was all as we left it, if anything a little cleaner. I recommend her without hesitation to anyone who wants a kind person to care for their animal friends and to keep a responsible eye on things while they are away.

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 Cathedral City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.

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.
