About: I'm a pet sitter for all my friend's pets. I had the experience of living with friends' pets many times. I really love pets and when I'm a sitter it's not only about changing the water and taking the pet outside for a pee, we have interesting conversations and quality time with games and cuddling. I'm a designer (in a pet tech company Basepaws) and work from home. I have time to walk outside several times a day and I do it even when I haven't pet:) We have a fenced yard with no holes and we haven't kids or other pets. We can have a long walk outside or keep your pet inside and use only the backyard if you prefer.
About: I started caring for dogs and cats when I was in middle school. Over the years, family friends, neighbors, and personal connections have trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, administering basic care, and providing plenty of love and attention, I always treat every pet as if they were my own. Spending time with animals is truly a joy, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am currently on my summer break from college and have open availability until the end of August! I am very flexible and always open to meeting your lovely animals! When I am in a clients home caring for their pet, my ultimate goal is keep their routine consistent and stress-free in order to encourage a comfortable environment while you’re away. All instructions provided will be carefully read, understood, and implemented! It’s important to acknowledge that every animal has their own unique personality and needs, requiring different levels of care, patience, and attention which I am happy to provide. Additionally, I understand the level of trust it takes to let someone into your home. I will ensure your home is treated with my utmost respect and is returned to exactly the way you left it! I can always provide photos of your pets or space if you would like.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up I cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs and animals have always been a big part of my life. I currently have a cat of my own so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I also have a background as a licensed home childcare provider where safety, patience, responsibility and communication are part of my everyday routine. Caring for others comes naturally to me whether they have two legs or four! I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, provide updates and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I have one friendly resident cat. If needed, he can be kept completely separate from visiting pets, so everyone can relax comfortably and safely. I’m home throughout the day and have a flexible schedule to provide attention, care, and updates for your pet. I’m currently offering pet care alongside my childcare business as I transition into focusing more on animal care. Safety and comfort are always my priority. My experience as a licensed childcare provider has made me very mindful of supervision, routines, cleanliness, and creating a calm environment. I have a fully fenced yard and a small catio where cats can safely enjoy fresh air and enrichment. I’m also working on creating an enclosed cat-friendly garden space so cats can experience the outdoors safely without the risk of roaming away. Outdoor time will always depend on each cat’s personality, comfort level, and owner preference. Visiting pets will have their own comfortable spaces in my home, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe and cared for while their family is away.
“Laura is so nice, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I know my two huskies can be a handful, but I felt so at ease having her stop by to let them go potty and eat dinner while I was out of town on a day trip. I was able to enjoy my time and not have to worry about their safety. She was sure to clarify any questions and followed all their medication needs. I know my dogs enjoyed having someone stop by and give them some loving while I was gone too. She also sent me the cutest pictures of my babies! So grateful for Laura!”
About: Ive had dogs, cats, snakes, and fish ever since I was a little kid. Sometimes all at the same time! I am passionate about providing a loving, safe environment for your pets especially since I have none at the moment! I’m very good with animals and responsible, having previous babysitting and pet care experience. I am a current junior at California State University Long Beach with a flexible schedule! I have a car if needed and don't currently work. In order to create a safe, trusting environment, I pay attention to the pets needs. I use my understanding to judge when they want to be fed, use the bathroom, or have play time!
About: I’ve always grown up around dogs. My favorite breed are pitbull but I have two beagles at the moment. I’ll obey any instructions you have for your pet, I do my best not to feed into bad dog behaviors. I’ve taken care of my family members dogs and multiple dogs at once. I’m good at cleaning up after dogs too. I’m currently studying for my CPA exams, so pet care will easily fit into my weekly routine. I prefer to walk any animal before the sunsets, but being at someone’s home is fine any time. I’m good at cleaning up after animals and myself. I have two beagles so I prefer not to do anything at my house. But I’m more than willing to take care of any pets at their house.
“I absolutely love Michelle!! I'm pretty sure there isn't anyone sweeter than her! We came in for a short vacation/concert. We have anxious dogs, and thankfully she has experience with that. She was so helpful and willing to stay with our dogs the whole time we were gone. They fell in love with her!! We were able to have a great time at our event without worrying at all! I cannot recommend her enough. We have had quite a few sitters of the past few years, and she is hands-down the best!!”
About: I have been dogsitting for friends and family for around 6 years and this includes boarding and walking. I love to be active and my preferred form of exercise is running, so I would be more than happy to take your pup for a run with me! I'm currently available every week day in the morning and can do evenings upon request. I can also accommodate weekends if discussed ahead of time! I put the needs of your pet above all else. Whatever type of care that is needed will be taken care of to the highest of degrees.
About: I have had years of experience with multiple animals, I've owned many over the years and care for them greatly. I have patience and dedication when it comes to caring for animals, I had wanted to go into vet med for years. I am currently between jobs while I try starting classes. I have good transportation and reliable time off so I am available and earnest to work! I am very attentive and I notice small details. I will ensure the care is completed to the levels expected of me if not exceeding. I have a lot of respect for animals and their needs and communicate effectively in situations.
“Esmeralda did a great job with the drop-in visit for our dogs. Instructions were followed perfectly, and the pups were well-fed and happy. We returned home to two very happy dogs. Highly recommend Esmeralda for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“I couldn't ask for a better sitter. Allison took prompt and attentive care of Vivi every day. She sent plenty of pictures and confirmed all of Vivi's care instructions. When they AC wasn't turning on, Allison replaced the batteries in the control unit to ensure my apartment didn't get too hot. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Marby was on time, communicated throughout the visit, followed detailed instructions, and figured out how to feed my finicky pug when he wouldn’t eat. I’ll be working with her again.”
“Teah was great from the start. She came and met my bay girl Buttercup before we booked, to make sure she (buttercup) felt comfortable with her. Immediately, Buttercup started to get close to Teah and felt comfortable around her. Teah also sent me pictures and kept me updated while I was away. I will definitely book again in future trips, if she’s available.”
“Courtney was so amazing with my 3 lb puppy. She was very gentle and took amazing care of her during their walk. Thank you so much for a great walk and report card!”
“Lauren took care of Dakota by dropping in 3 times a day for an hour each time. I cannot recommend her enough. Dakota easily bonded with her and seemed to just know she was a good human! Lauren arrived promptly and sent me pictures throughout the day. Texting me with updates as requested. She’s awesome! I will definitely be booking her again in the future! :)”
About: currently working in an animal emergency hospital for 4 years! i’ve worked with dogs 3x my weight, and cats who climb the walls. there is nothing new to me in the animal field working 5 days a week at an animal emergency hospital, most are early shifts so i have a big bulk of my day free to pet sit! mentally i’m never really clocked out the key is to have your energy feel as if your at ease with the pet no matter the environment. they can definitely sense your energy! i’m high energy myself and can be the best for really active pets, whether it’s going out for runs or playing fetch, or providing mentally stimulating treat games with them!
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for pets, I will give your fur baby the same love and attention that I give my own Goldendoodle puppy, Dexter, who is my world. Dexter is very playful and social, so I love the opportunity for him to have a play date. Under my watch, you dog will get quality attention from me along with a fun play date. My flexible work-from-home schedule allows me to board on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Weekends are open to availability by request. My care includes frequent restroom breaks, as well as walks and dog park visits as requested. I reside in a pet friendly apartment building with two small dog parks, and I’m located one block away from a residential area that allows for a nice long walk with grass.

Sarah is magic!! She provided so many pictures and videos while we were away, even showing that one of our feisty cats trusted her and took treats straight from her hands (huge good sign in our world). We have never felt our cats to be at so much peace and calm upon returning from a trip, we hope Sarah can watch them any time we have to leave in the future!
Meghan stepped in at the last minute to care for our cat when our previous sitter had a medical emergency. We were on the East Coast when a Rover employee called & said that our sitter was hospitalized & that they were looking for an emergency replacement. We had a few options, but Meghan was the most responsive and had great reviews. We hadn't even met her, but we truly got lucky that she volunteered to step in. We look forward to meeting her in person the next time that we book through Rover, because we will definitely try to book her the next time we travel.
Teah was great from the start. She came and met my bay girl Buttercup before we booked, to make sure she (buttercup) felt comfortable with her. Immediately, Buttercup started to get close to Teah and felt comfortable around her. Teah also sent me pictures and kept me updated while I was away. I will definitely book again in future trips, if she’s available.
Celeste was amazing with daily visits for our cat, Mac! She was so sweet in taking care of him and communicating with us. With our week long trip, we worried about leaving Mac. Celeste made us feel super comfortable with the daily updates, photos, and videos. She was super responsive and attentive to Mac. We’ll definitely reach out to her again for future trips!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cota. On Rover:

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.
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.
