“Our Bernese Mountain Dog loves Allison and so do we! She is super attentive, caring, and has the best energy. She is very detail-oriented and makes sure our pup is well taken care of. We’re so lucky to have found her!”
“Aditi was wonderful with my cats! She went above and beyond to help them feel comfortable while I was gone. I loved her photos and detailed updates. I highly recommend her!!!”
“Yuliia did a great job caring for our cat while we were on a long trip, and we trusted that she was well taken care of. Our cat is shy and Yuliia got her to play and sent daily updates so we knew all was well. Would recommend to anyone!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for more than 30 years, both my own and those belonging to friends and family. Over time, I became the person people call when they need someone they genuinely trust with their animals and their home. For years, pet sitting has simply been part of my life. I’m the go-to sitter for many of my friends, and I’ve reached the point where I want to make caring for animals a much more significant part of what I do. I’ve cared for pets through every stage of life, from healthy, energetic animals to seniors with complex medical needs. The longest I cared for one pet was 15 years. That experience taught me how important it is to know what is normal for an individual animal and to notice when something changes. That is a big part of how I approach pet sitting. I pay attention. I learn their routines, how they communicate, what makes them comfortable, and what stresses them out. I notice changes in appetite, energy, behavior, bathroom habits, breathing, vocalization, and the other small things that can tell you an animal is not feeling quite right. I’m also very comfortable following detailed care instructions. I have experience with special diets, oral medications, senior-pet care, behavioral issues, and more involved care routines. I understand that when an animal has specific needs, consistency matters. At the same time, I don’t believe every pet needs to be handled the same way. Some animals want constant companionship. Others prefer a little distance until they decide they trust you. Some want long walks and lots of play. Others are happiest sleeping nearby while you leave them alone. I don’t force interaction. I let the animal tell me what kind of relationship they are comfortable having with me. My goal when house sitting is to keep their life as normal as possible while you’re gone. That means maintaining their feeding, walking, play, medication, and sleep routines as closely as I can, while giving them the level of companionship they are used to. I also send regular updates and photos so you don’t have to wonder how things are going at home. And I take the “house” part of house sitting seriously. I treat someone else’s home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I keep the space clean and orderly, water plants, bring in mail and packages, take care of the ordinary household tasks that still need to happen while you’re away, and handle minor issues when I reasonably can. The feedback I hear most often is that the animals are happy and relaxed when their people return, and the house looks great. That’s exactly what I want. I want you to come home to happy pets, a cared-for home, and the feeling that while you were away, everything was in good hands. I work mostly from home, with the occasional job taking me out of the home for a few hours at a time. Sometimes as little as 2 hours, and sometimes as much as 8. I tend to schedule all my work and pet-sitting around each other so there's no conflict. For puppies, I won't leave them for more than an hour at a time, as they need more bathroom breaks. For smaller dogs, I try to cap it at 3-4 hours. Larger dogs can handle me being away for about 6 hours, and cats I can leave for up to 8. I follow each pet’s established routine closely and let trust develop at their pace. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health, keep the home secure and orderly, and handle basic household needs while you’re away. My goal is simple: happy pets, a cared-for home, and no surprises when you return.
“Jane jumped in last minute and took great care of my cat Strider. She was communicative and helpful and I felt much better knowing she was looking out for him.”
“Very wonderful and Kristin constantly communicates what is going on with your pet as it is happening! She responded almost instantly to the request and has been wonderful in taking care of our cat! I highly recommend!”
About: I have grown up with dogs since I was 5 years old caring for 3 dogs till old age! I have experience caring for senior dogs and have demonstrated patience in caring for my senior dog until he was 19. I am currently job seeking, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to take care of dogs! I am free mostly in the daytime but can adjust if needed. I am a responsible sitter and will ensure to be communicative on how to navigate caring for your dog in your home setting where your dog is comfy and safe.
“Marissa was so wonderful to work with! Her experience with reactive dogs helped to put our minds at ease. We could tell she was incredibly comfortable and well equipped to help our pup!”
About: My first dog was when I was 5 yrs old and have had 6 since then. I have been a reliable source for my friends to love their dogs like my own and have dog sat, walked, and even taken them camping for a nature break. I chose River to fill the void of not being allowed dogs where I live. They are simply the best! I am currently working from home with weekends off which allows me a very flexible schedule to walk and care for your dogs when needed. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood and have a park within walking distance. Your pets safely is my main concern. I will always treat you fur baby with kindness and care.
“Melanie is an absolute top tier cat sitter for our two girlies! We’ve worked with Melanie for drop ins for up to two weeks and have always been SO happy. Her pics and updates are the best and we always look forward to them! One of our cats is extremely picky with humans and only likes 5 confirmed people, and Melanie is one of them, so we’re convinced she’s a cat whisperer. We always come home to happy cats and an immaculately clean space. We will always use Melanie when we go out of town to ensure our cats are super well taken care of and happy. Thank you, Melanie!!!!”
“Daniel and Bethany took wonderful care of our bunny. They were attentive and took extra care to make sure that she had a clean crate before we arrived home. Thank you so much for the great care!”
About: I've taken care of over half a dozen dogs and cats of all sizes, mostly through fosters. I will treat your loved on like my own! I work from home and live in a very walkable area. I am happy to take your pup on short or long walks depending on their needs. I have a smaller apartment but have easy access to walking on the street and a safe, quiet local park. At client homes, I am happy to accommodate special feeding or exercise needs.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since the age of 7 and have been dog sitting since 16. I now am the proud owner of two lovely cats. I will always make sure to put the needs of your pet above all else. :) Excited to meet you and your pets! I am a recent graduate from LMU who is in the process of applying to jobs, so my schedule is very open to taking care of pets at all times of the day! Walks can be taken at any time of the day/night. I am also happy to hang indoors with your pet to make sure they’re comfy!
“Jenn was absolutely wonderful with Mushu and Mighty Mouse! Mighty Mouse is especially shy and usually takes time to feel comfortable with new people, so it meant so much to me to see how patient, gentle, and loving Jenn was with him. She really took the time to earn his trust and make him feel safe and cared for. It was such a relief knowing that Mushu and Mighty Mouse weren’t just being looked after, but were getting genuine love and attention while I was away. Jenn treated them like they were her own, and I’m so grateful for the care she gave them. I would happily trust her with my babies again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly caring and dependable pet sitter!”
“Sarah is great. She is professional and organized and she has a great personality. And when she does the check-ins with my babies, she sends updates & pics. I highly recommend her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Culver City
Paige was so wonderful! I looked forward to receiving our report card every day with the best photos and videos. Our cat seemed to really love her visits, based on all the purring and snuggles captured in Paige’s very well-documented visits. She was incredibly reliable and gave me such peace of mind, so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!
I’ve used Amanda countless times over the past 6 years!! She truly is the best and always goes above and beyond for me and my kittys. Knowing that Amanda will take great care of my kittys allows me to be able to relax while I’m away because I know they are in great care.
Giacomo was exactly who we needed! He gave our little Coco the best time! She was sooo happy during her time with him! He followed all our instructions perfectly and sent us so many status updates and photos throughout. I will definitely be using him again and would recommend him to anyone!
Zen has been great at taking care of my two fur babies! She kept everything organized and clean, and even helped take the used pads out to the trash on the last day without me asking. My babies were very happy and well taken care of. I’d definitely recommend her!
Elizabeth went above and beyond caring for our cat while we were away for several days. She not only followed through on all that was asked of her, but took the time to really try to make our notoriously shy cat feel comforted and cared for while we were away. She was communicative and responsive throughout. Highly recommend.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Culver 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 .

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.
