“Absolutely fantastic sitter for our four kitties! She went above and beyond. It’s very clear she’s putting her whole heart into taking care of the fur babies. She stayed with them not just to feed and water but to play and brush, even bringing her own toys! Would rebook in a heartbeat.”
“Nora was absolutely wonderful. Will def rebook with her again. Her check ins were thorough and consistent. She was a great communicator. And she was very flexible and helpful when we had to deal with a family emergency while we were away (and had to extend our booking). She even fixed a troubled doorknob while we were gone. Nora was great.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Kallista, provided for our six cats while we were on vacation. She was incredibly responsible, thoughtful, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. What really impressed us was the extra effort she put into making sure we felt connected to our kitties while we were away—sending us daily updates and photos, even managing to capture pictures of our shyest cats, which meant the world to us. Her communication was excellent, and her detailed daily reports reassured us that our beloved pets were in good hands. Thanks to her, we were able to truly relax and enjoy our trip without worry. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“She was absolutely wonderful 💕and has a lot of experience caring for cats, as she has many cats of her own. You can really tell how much she loves cats, and I would definitely ask her to care for my cats again. I highly recommend her!☺️”
About: I provide dependable, attentive care for both dogs and cats, with a focus on making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. 🐾 I have experience with dog walking, playtime, feeding, bathing, and general care, as well as cat feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of cuddles when welcomed. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely and care for them the way you would. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, a relaxing walk, quiet companionship, or a professional biscuit-making audience, they’ll receive patient, reliable, and loving care. 🐶🐱💕 I take scheduling and your pet’s routine seriously, and I always do my best to provide dependable, consistent care. 🐾 I work part-time most weekday mornings, but I’m available Tuesday and Thursday mornings and have flexible availability throughout the rest of the week. I’m also very flexible on weekends and holidays. For boarding, I’m happy to coordinate dates and times in advance so everything is clear and organized. You can count on me to communicate openly, arrive as scheduled, and make your pet’s care a priority. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I make sure pets have access to fresh water, are fed properly and on schedule, and are kept in a clean, comfortable environment. I also have experience with crate training and understand the importance of using crates safely and positively. I closely follow each pet parent’s instructions and routines so your furry family member feels secure, cared for, and at home while they’re with me.
About: When I was 8, my family got a Shih Tzu pup that I learned so much from over his 15 years of life. Because of the tight-knit bond I had with my Shih Tzu, I'm most familiar with the needs of small/toy breeds like grooming, exercise, and senior health issues. I recently volunteered at the county animal shelter, where I was responsible for providing dogs with enrichment and exercise. As part of the training, I became familiar with interpreting and understanding dog behaviors (regardless of sex/breed), like adjusting to their comfort levels, respecting their boundaries, and reading their body language to ensure everyone's safety (including theirs). Ultimately, I can assure you that your buddies will be cared for like they’re family! I'm currently on medical leave from both college and work, so I'm usually at home all day! This is perfect if you have a cuddly or anxious pet, because I'll have plenty of time to spend with them (napping, cuddling, playing, etc). When it comes to any services offered, I want to make sure that your pets and I are safe at all times. Aside from safety, their comfort is very important to me. I'll do my absolute best to make sure they feel safe and comfortable under my care. I always make sure to introduce myself slowly and will respect your friend’s need for space at any point, especially if they're shy. I usually turn the area under my desk into a mini fort for them with their blanket and other comfort items like beds or toys. This usually helps them have a safe and comfortable space to retreat to if they ever get startled or overstimulated. I've learned to give pets ample time to acclimate to the new person and environment before introducing them to anyone else, especially if they're known to be shy. I do my absolute best to go at their pace and comfort level, not mine.
“Ellen was fantastic, she responded promptly and was flexible with my schedule. She took great care of my cat Nalla while I was away. She even had a whole room set up for cats to play and hangout. I would definitely recommend her for all your pet care needs.thanks again Ellen!”
“Mariela was incredible! She was attentive, communicative, and so kind and friendly. We had a power outage while out of town and she handled it all with no issue, making sure my cat had everything he needed.”
“Ali was so fantastic. She was communicative, fast responding, kept us updated with photos, went out of her way to meet us beforehand. Truly a great experience and can’t wait to, hopefully, use her service again!!”
About: Hi there! I've been a proud and responsible dog + cat owner for over 25 years (plus snakes!), with over 15 years experience care-taking pet fish, birds, rats, hamsters, snakes, leopard geckos, frogs, turtles, and more! I'm also a wildlife biologist and small business owner of a human-bear conflict prevention start-up (see "Wild Neighbor"), as well as a previous zookeeper and animal trainer! I have 20 years of experience working with all sizes of California native wildlife and exotic mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and arachnids in zoos, nature centers, and museums. I hold a B.S. in Wildlife Management from Humboldt State University and am a graduate of the Exotic Animal Training and Management (EATM) Program at Moorpark College. I'm an avid hiker, explorer, and naturalist, and I LOVE spending time with all kinds of animals both outdoors and indoors! I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pet(s) - please let me know how I can make your experience more special! I am a small business owner and work from home - while sometimes I am needed in the field, I'm grateful that my schedule is super flexible and allows me to operate my startup while also spending time with pets! I always approach my pets with love and consideration not only for their mental health, but for their physical health, as well! Treats are a must, as is access to viewing windows (to keep an eye on the outside world when I'm away), cozy spots for sleeping, fans when the weather gets warm and soooo many blankets and beds when it's chilly. Water and food bowls are cleaned daily, and walks (for the dog, at least!) are kept to a consistent morning, afternoon, and evening schedule.

About: I have taken care of my own, family and friends pets as well as taken them on walks, bathed them, groomed them, and trained them. I am currently working part time Monday through Friday and so I’d have plenty of time to care for and love your pets. Animals are a big part of my life, I care for them deeply. I will be at your house so your pet will be comfortable and feel safe instead of being throw into a new environment where they won’t feel safe.

Absolutely adore the young pups and kittens too! Your pet will get plenty of exercise and be well cared for when you are away. I work from home doing Telehealth and am able to take breaks as needed throughout the day to provide pet care for you and yours! I have two pets at home currently, a cat and a dog. A lifelong animal lover, I have been told that I have good rapport with all types and species. I can offer walks and visits at your home or office. Safety is the main priority with all animals in my care. I’m able to be away from my own pets for up to 4.5-5 hours at a time. My dog will need to be let out to use the restroom at my place in that time frame.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I graduated from California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI), where I worked as a Resident Assistant (RA). During my time there, I also helped care for our housing community dog, spending time with them, supervising them, and making sure they were well cared for. That experience reinforced how much I enjoy building trust with animals and providing them with consistent, compassionate care. I also own my own dog she is dog friendly and will frequently take her out to parks and walks which your dog might join us! I will be able to take your dog out in the mornings , afternoon , evening , and at night . I am frequently available to your dog needs. In my home I will take your dog on regular walks to the dog park near me . As well as make sure they are fed at your exact feeding times you prefer and are taken outside for regular potty breaks.

I am available to care for your pets on Monday, Wednesday, Fridays, Saturday and Sunday all day. Tuesday and Thursday I am available after 5:30pm. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep a close eye on behavior, and maintain a routine that matches what your pet is used to. You can trust that your pet will be treated with the same care and attention I would give my own.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Channel Islands Beach
Cori looked after my cat Maple for the second time while I was away, and she was fantastic. She kept me updated all along and flagged anything that needed my attention, so I wasn’t worried while I was gone. Maple doesn’t warm up to people easily, but she clearly loves Cori. Cori has become one of her favorite people. Reliable, caring, and so thoughtful. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!
Tai was absolutely amazing with my cats and super sweet. She played so much with my high energy kitty and chilled with my antisocial girl. She sent lots of photos and updates, and went above and beyond to cover for me an extra day when I couldn’t make it home on time. Would recommend her to anyone.
Cynthia was great!!! We were nervous about leaving our rescue dog for the first time. She was very responsive to messages and at the meet and greet asked good questions and answered any questions we had. She went above and beyond each day for both our dog and cat! She is truly one of the best pet sitters ever!
Annie took great care of Kimiko and was willing to follow Musashi’s extensive medical routine. Kimiko can be particular with new people, so I appreciated that Annie respected her space. I could tell from the photos and updates that Kimiko was in loving hands. Thank you so much!

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.

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.
