About: Apart from always caring for my own dogs, I have loved walking my old neighbors pups as well. I am average build but strong for my size so I can handle the tugs from the bigger dogs like husky’s. I have an almost 3 month old who I stay home with so I am available for around the clock care for pups, children, or any elders who need assistance. Me and my baby would love to have your fur baby join our walks and play time! I am a stay at home mom to a very chill and quiet baby. Our days consist of his nap times, sitting on our enclosed balcony, and going on long walks. We live in a condo with a balcony that has no escape route, and a medium size patio/backyard. It does not have grass but we have a 47x32in. artificial grass mat for potty breaks. The condo has stairs as well.
About: With more than 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I truly love working with animals. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, extra scratches, feeding, or companionship, I make sure every pet gets the love and attention they deserve. I’m mostly available on Fridays, and the weekends. The weekends, I have the most availability so you can do day trips and not have to worry. I can also do some weeknights. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and easy any stress. It usually helps to have some guidelines to feeding schedules or walk schedules that the owner requests. I will give pets plenty of attention during play time and make sure they are happy, either purring or wagging tails in a good way. I also treat the home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and following any instructions the owner provides.
About: As someone who loves simple joys like long walks and spending time outdoors, dog walking felt like a natural fit. My family has four amazing dogs — Weimaraners and Bernedoodles — and I greatly enjoy caring for them, whether that's going on walks, feeding them, or curling up for cuddles after long walks on the beach. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I promise to care for yours with the same love and attention I give my own family dogs. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I love being active and spending time outdoors, so fitting dog walks into my day is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra love and attention while you're away, I'm happy to help! I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog because my family's dogs have always been cherished members of our family. Safety, patience, and communication are my top priorities. I'm attentive to each dog's personality, energy level, and comfort, and I always aim to create a calm, positive experience whether we're out on a walk or spending time together at home. Having cared for energetic Weimaraners and affectionate Bernedoodles, I'm comfortable with larger breeds and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and lots of love. I'll treat your pup with the same care and attention I would give my own family dogs, so you can feel confident they're in safe and loving hands.
About: I‘ve had pets my whole life, from gold fish to cats and dogs and even a mouse. I‘d love to help take care of your pet as though they were my own. I am fully available to care for pets. I do not have any limitations to my availability at this time. I‘m open to dog walking or overnight stays. When caring for your pet, I will be focused on their well being and safety. I will take care of them as if they were my own and give them my focus and attention.
“Eileen was amazing!! She cared for our kitten (1.5 years) everyday for a week over the holidays. He had never been left alone for this long before so we were a little nervous to leave him. He is usually shy around strangers but he warmed right up to her; she gave him so much love & attention, and sent us daily updates with photos & videos to show us how well he was doing. Will definitely re-book with a Eileen in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life, growing up with 2 dogs, then fostering kittens, having a hamster, two rabbits, and horses. Animals are very important to my live and are a big passion of mine. I have been the sole caretaker of the foster kittens for about 6 years, and have a cat of my own at college with me. My family also has a dog who I grew up with, Finn, and several family cats. We also have two horses who I have ridden and cared for for 10 years, and miss everyday I'm at school. I do have classes throughout the week, but with an hour to two long gaps, I have plenty of time to visit during the day. I would not be able to care for pets in my home, but I can visit to let them into the yard, take them for walks, feed them, or just keep them company.
“We had Jennifer pop in to watch our cat every day for 2 weeks. She was so sweet with Foo and took great care of him. Was so nice knowing our cat was in great hands while we were on vacation. Will definitely be using her again!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience raising two Frenchies and a Chihuahua. I also care for loved ones’ pets when needed, providing reliable, loving, and attentive care. Since I am currently not working, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate my full attention to caring for pets. My days are focused on providing love, playtime, walks and companionship, making sure your furry friend feels happy and well cared for throughout the day and/or night. I’m available to give your pets the consistent care and attention they deserve! When caring for pets in your home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll keep up with their usual routine–feeding, walking, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. When the dogs are calm and resting, I will use that quiet time to tidy up and clean around the house, so everything looks even better than when you left. It’s all about keeping your pets and home happy!
“Olivia did an absolutely fantastic job watching my cat for a week while I was out of town. She was kind and playful with my cat but also took her job very seriously. I cannot recommend Olivia enough!”
“Victoria is amazing and so sweet! Really fast and great communication. She took great care of my two dogs and I will definitely be rebooking the next time I need someone to drop in and check on them :) I highly recommend Victoria!!”
About: I am experienced in walking, feeding, grooming, administering medication, and providing playful attention and love, ensuring pets are healthy, happy, and cared for with dedication. I am currently on summer break, as a student in college and as a one on one caregiver that works at an elementary school, so I have lots of free time to pet sit/walk :) I have a fenced yard, so there’s plenty of room for our furry friends to play and run around. I also allow them inside and wander around to get sniffs in and more comfortable in the new environment. I have a lil doggo named ziggy. He is older so he mainly stays inside or in my room. I have a crate and a little gate for the kitchen if either are needed as well as dog bowls, extra leashes.
About: I have always loved taking care of animals, whether it be cleaning up after them, training, washing, walking, and playing with them. Though I was brought up since day one with 3 cats, and was the primary caretaker for each one, I’ve always had friends with dogs I could help take care of. I have worked all types of pups from German Shepherds, Pit-Bulls, Dachshunds, a grown Mastiff, and a variety of mixes of all ages and sizes! I love them like my own! I recently moved to the area and started to work remotely. Since moving, pet sitting and dog walking have become part of the daily routine. I do have a prior engagement on Tuesdays, but can be available in the afternoons. I try and understand the animal’s personality first, gain their trust second, and provide as much love and support as last. Every animal is different so I make it a mission to talk with my client’s and gain as much insight as possible. After that, my clients can expect a million photos and videos of their pets whether that’s on walks, they’re pets eating, or just getting a bell rub and cuddles! I try my best to keep them as active as possible while ensuring their safety is taken into consideration.
About: I enjoy all pets, great energy, love to see everyone happy and responsible. Let’s have a great day. Welcome to everyone and any pet needs I’m currently available 24 hours a day. Responsible and open to any situation. Feel free to contact me.anytime. I can do holidays as well Iam located on sea terrace park and salt creek area. All kinds of dog parks and grass, sand. Lots of space inside and out. Beautiful area
About: THE ANIMAL WHISPERER I am called the animal whisperer because I have a great connection with animals. Since I was a child, I have loved animals and being an educator. I watch all of my family and friends pets when they are away. Dogs and cats truly bring out so much joy and love. Note- 1. I only accept small dogs that are under 25 pounds. 2. I only take dogs over the age of 2 as they still have puppy behavior under the age of 2. 3. DOGS must be on anti-flea medication. 5. Dogs must be potty trained 6. Dogs must have a harness if you would like them to be walk 7. THE AMOUNT YOU SEE ON MY PROFILE DOE NOT REFLECT MY EARNINGS. Rover has included their 11% booking fee and 25% service fee. Into the total on my profile. I work part time as an educator so caring for pets in the early morning hours, afternoon and evening work well for my schedule. I have weekends open too I have a crate and a fenced in area when animals stay in my home. Pets can sleep on doggy beds too. If I am staying in pet owners house, I can accommodate the clients needs.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dana Point
I was really impressed with Kelsey's kind and sweet ways with my Sammy! He doesn't warm up to easily, and this would have been the very first time I would have left him with a sitter. I have got to say Sam liked Kelsey very much, and came and laid by her, and ate his treats, and really warmed up to her and made me feel oh so comfortable for when I do have to leave him in the future. Kelsey sent me notices when she was on her way here and had wonderful conversation with me once she got here, since I was unable to attend my trip. She was so caring, I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again to take care of Sam, especially now that I have gotten to know her, and was able to see her interact with my precious Sammy. Kelsey was Great!
Selina was amazing with my special-needs cat. She followed instructions perfectly, was gentle and patient, and sent regular updates that made me feel at ease. I could tell my cat felt safe and cared for. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter! Thank you Selina!!!

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.

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.
