About: Toda mi vida he tenido animales, soy una chica colombiana de 43 años que le encanta pasar tiempo con los animales, me encantan y los niños también, yo me considero la mejor niñera de animales. Actualmente tengo mucho tiempo libre trabajo desde mi casa y con los trabajos que me salen cuidando anímales, actualmente tengo un hermoso gato que lo adoro. Vivo en una casa donde tengo un gato más adelante me encantaría tener más anímales perros gatos hasta he pensado en crear una fundación de anímales, definitivamente eso lo que quiero hacer en mi vida

“From the beginning, Khyli was welcoming and showed genuine concern for my kittens. They're 9 months old and had not been anywhere since I adopted them 7 months previously. During the booking time when she had my kittens, Khyli was patient and provided explanations of how my kittens were doing. She sent pictures and videos. The reason for a 4 ranking instead of 5 was that Khyli would not let me see where she was keeping my kittens. Although it looked fine from the pictures and videos, I wish she'd said in the booking information that for security reasons, she would not let me see the apartment where she was keeping my kittens. Hearing that, I would have selected someone else. Because I was flying out that day, I had to leave them with Khyli during an outside the car transfer and hope they'd be ok. They were, but that's the reason I won't book with Khyli again. Again, my kittens seemed to be taken care of, but from now on, I won't book without visiting the home prior to the booking date.”

“Niiyah was so lovely and was happy to help care for my cats even though it was last-minute and they have some chronic illnesses that require medications twice a day and meals 3 times a day. Thank you so much!”

About: Hi! I’m Eva — a lifelong dog lover with two German Shepherds of my own. I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your pups. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a walk to burn off some energy, I’ll treat your pets like my own! I work from home Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm, can play and take care of pet before and after work, plus during my 1 hour lunch. Available weekends most of the day. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I always follow their usual routine to keep things consistent and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, and plenty of attention. During walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and making sure your pup gets the chance to check their sniff mail . After each visit, I send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and cared for.

About: I've grown up around cats and dogs my whole life, so I am very used to being around them. I love dogs but I do feel I have a close affinity with cats more. Either way they are both great to love on. I'm currently working from home right now so I have plenty of time to spend with the fur kids. I'm currently available whenever needed as long as its reasonable, and of course schedules will change the more work I take on. We have a big fenced backyard for any animals to run around it. And a dog a 2 cats that are totally fine around others. Especially the dog who would love any new friend.
“Again, another satisfied kitty. Marina continues to be an amazing kitty sitter... we have used her multiple times in the past, have recommended her already, she's the best!!! Highly recommended!!”

“I took an extended/long-distance trip in December and this was the first trip I've ever taken without my cat. I was quite anxious to leave him home alone, especially with the recent passing of his cat sibling. I booked drop-in visits with Rachel and she was great! I really appreciated the time that she spent with my cat. I could tell that she was very attentive and caring toward him. I also loved the selfies/pictures she sent during most of the drop-in visits. I could tell that he was happy having a visitor! Rachel also offered to drop-in on an additional day if my flight was cancelled, which was very kind. And after a long day of traveling, I came home and did not have to throw out any litter/trash, as she had taken care of it already--which I also really appreciated! I plan to book with Rachel again if I take any future trips. I highly recommend her!”


About: Hi! I'm Susi, and my goal is to make your time away as stress free as possible, for both you and your pets. My experience comes from being a lifelong dog owner and understanding firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I know that every dog has their own routine, comfort level, and quirks that make them who they are. That’s why I focus on providing personalized care for one family at a time, creating a calm and comfortable environment where your pet can feel safe and loved. I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, so I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you're away. I'll follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and bedtime routines, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. When your pet stays with me, they'll receive the same love, patience, and care I'd want for my own family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I’ve structured my schedule so every pet in my care receives consistent attention, companionship, and supervision. I’m home everyday of the week and have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I attend school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am-12pm and 6pm-9pm, but someone is always home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. Because I only care for one family’s pets at a time, I’m able to give them focused, personalized care instead of dividing my attention between multiple bookings. My goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress free as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home. In my home, I provide a calm, comfortable environment where pets can settle in and feel like part of the family. I have a large, fully fenced yard for supervised potty breaks, playtime, and outdoor enrichment, along with a quiet dog park just a few blocks away that is usually empty. I only use the park when it is appropriate for the individual dog and with the owner’s permission. I also have a dog (Jayda) of my own who is friendly, calm, and respectful of other dogs’ boundaries. I always prioritize safe introductions and closely monitor interactions so every pet feels comfortable. If a visiting dog is not comfortable around other dogs, my home has separate rooms and spaces where pets can be safely kept apart whenever necessary. Their comfort and safety always come first. Because I care for one family at a time, I can give each pet personalized attention and follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, playtime, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. For care in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself. During drop-ins or house sitting, I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, litter box or yard cleanup, medication when needed, playtime, affection, and any other care instructions provided. For walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and letting each dog move at a pace that suits their age, energy level, and comfort. No matter the service, I send regular photo and message updates so owners can feel confident knowing their pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving attentive care.
“It was a little nerve-wracking having a house-sitter we’d never meet before taking care of our cats, but Ayanna was great. The cats are happy, and everything is in good shape. I highly recommend her services.”
“Christina is an awesome cat sitter and took great care of our cat Umi! She left detailed descriptions of her visits and took really cute photos. We highly recommend her for anyone needing an animal sitter.”

About: I am 19 years old doing this so I can make some extra money on the side and currently take care of my older brother, who has autism, which has taught me how to remain composed, aware, and reliable in all situations. Those skills are easily applied to pet care, particularly with nervous, timid, or sensitive animals. For example, my own dog has depression anxiety which I make sure to tend to quickly! I can easily fit time with your lovely pets into my daily schedule. I'm free any time after 11AM because I get my brother on the bus at around nine in the morning. Since I'm still learning how to drive, I typically take the bus, train, or Uber to get around. The only thing I know is that I might have to wait until about 5 PM for my mom to return if she works overtime on a Friday, but that rarely ever happens. There is a chance that my schedule can improve so make sure to keep an eye out! I treat every pet under my care as if they were a member of my own family. Making them feel secure, understood, and loved is always my top priority. By feeding them on time, taking them for walks or play, and making sure they receive lots of attention and are comfortable, I try to keep things as simple as possible. I make sure they have everything they require, keep their area neat, and regularly change their water. To reassure the owner that their pet is happy, safe and in good care, I also provide updates and pictures

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Today, I have one dog and three cats of my own, and I’ve also cared for larger animals like horses, so I’m confident handling pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I spent five years working at a high-end, high-occupancy pet resort, where I cared for a large volume of dogs and cats in a fast-paced, detail-oriented environment. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, manage different temperaments, and provide safe, attentive care even in high-pressure situations. I genuinely love what I do, and I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your pets. I’m the same way with mine. That’s why I show up with patience, reliability, and real care every time. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like their own, you’ve found the right person. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but my love for animals is what inspires me to offer pet care for weekend trips and getaways! However, I have a hybrid schedule, so I’m available for early morning or late evening walks and check-ins on specific days during the weekdays. I care for both your pet and your home with a lot of respect and attention to detail. I’m big on cleanliness and keeping things in order, so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I also understand that accidents happen, and I’m always prepared to quickly clean up things like potty accidents or throw-up to keep your home clean and your pet comfortable. For walks, I’m extremely vigilant and safety-focused. I pay close attention to surroundings, other dogs, and your pet’s behavior at all times. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority, and I make sure every walk is secure, structured, and stress-free.

About: Growing up there was always a wagging tail, fur everywhere, and a pile of toys in my house—and I didn't mind. To me, home has always meant a thousand kisses, cuddles and belly scratches. I truly love being around dogs no matter how big or small! (I grew up with a Sheltie, Golden Retriever, and Chihuahua so I'm comfortable adjusting to different energy levels and routines.) I know how special your dog is and I would love to help care for them they way you would! No more worries while you're away. 🐾 Pet care fits really well into my routine right now. I currently have a lot of open availability and flexibility. I'm able to able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, and giving pets consistent attention. I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, & loved so you can count on me to follow your instructions closely when it comes to meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and house rules. I also pay attention to making sure doors are closed, leashes are secure, or your pet isn't getting into anything they shouldn't. I want them to feel settled and at ease. I'm big on communication so I'll send regular check ins and pictures so you never have to wonder how things are going. I know every pet is different so I try to be kind and adaptable and meet them where they're at so they can adjust to the unfamiliar. I also know it takes a lot of trust to leave your pet with someone new. I take pride in taking some of the stress off your shoulders by making sure your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. :)
“This was our second time having Coryn care for our kitties, and once again she did an excellent job. Her communication is always great, and we really appreciate the thoughtful, detailed visit summaries she leaves for us. Our cats are clearly comfortable with her, and it gives us peace of mind every time. Highly recommend her services!”

About: I’m an experienced pet sitter with animals of all kinds. I’m currently mom to two cats with health issues, so I have the experience to help with medication administration or picky appetites if that’s something you need. I am new to Sacramento and ready to explore during a walk with your pet, or spend time cuddling at home. I’m also organized, detail-oriented and attentive— keeping you updated and your pet healthy are my priorities when they’re in my care! I am a freelance writer, so my schedule is very flexible day-to-day. Let me know what you need, and I can likely accommodate! I am respectful, quiet, and clean when I visit a client’s home, and I love to set aside time for play! I am also attentive to pets’ health needs and will monitor for anything that seems unusual. I’m very careful with my own cats, and I’ll have the same level of care with your pet.

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.

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 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.
