About: I grew up with german shepards and currently have 2 cats, Harry and Luna. I walked dogs for 7 years in Chicago and I have experience with all temperaments. Oh and animals tend to trust me quickly. Let’s chat! I have open availability Monday and Tuesday and from 3-9pm every other day. I am a fast communicator, so feel free to reach out and see if we can find a time that works. I can meet your dog’s needs. I have worked with many breeds and behavior types throughout my years walking dogs. I have a soft spot for quirky animals
About: I've had the privilege of always having a dog in the house, since the day I was born. My parents are pet-lovers, and definitely passed that trait down to me. I've had experience with dogs from all ages, puppy to senior, and understand the level of dedication and attentiveness is requires to give pets the care they deserve. Not only do I have experience with caring for my own dogs, but I have pet-sitted and walked for my neighbors various pets (dogs & cats) since I was 10 years old. Taking care of pets is not just about doing the bare minimum such as feeding or walking. It is about realizing that these are members of someone's family and giving them that same love is part of the job! I'm currently a graduated high-school student preparing to start my first year at the University of Virginia in the fall! I have more availability throughout the day (morning and night) during the weekdays, but am also available Sunday mornings/afternoons. Through my experience with my own dogs, I know how to both crate-train and potty-train if needed. I will always accompany your pet outside if there is a backyard present, so that they will always be looked after! I also know how to use most "tools" such as pet gates and crates.
“When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was a teenager, and I truly love spending time with animals—it feels like such an honor and a privilege. While I don’t currently have pets of my own due to my travels, caring for other people’s pets helps fill that void until I can adopt a furry friend of my own! I work from home with a flexible schedule. I pet sit and dog walk for friends and family whenever I can because I love it. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I always make sure the environment is secure, free of hazards, and suited to the pet’s needs. I follow any specific instructions from the owner, including dietary restrictions, medication schedules, and preferred routines. When walking dogs, I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoiding unsafe areas and extreme weather conditions. In a client’s home, I ensure doors and gates are properly closed, and I respect the pet’s space while providing plenty of attention and care. My goal is to create a stress-free, comfortable experience for both pets and their owners!
“Audrey was absolutely amazing with our cat Milo. She was super timely and provided amazing updates. Our house was left super clean and we are extremely grateful for her help! Milo has a new friend too!”
“Paz was amazing! She took care of everything, that I asked her to do. Sent pictures during the visits. And my cat wasn’t meowing much after leaving him for 4 days, which is a huge win. Very happy with the results.”
“Chunli always goes above and beyond to take care of Tress. Tress can sometimes make a mess and Chunli cleans it up without complaint and clearly cares so much about her well being.”
“Devon provided excellent care for our two cats with drop in visits in our home during our vacation. She is very warm and kind with our cats and provided them with lots of love and attention. She was also very communicative and provided daily updates and photos. She delivered on all of our many requests and even provided more extended care above and beyond our contracted terms. We are very selective with our pet care and we have worked with many different pet sitters over the years in close relationships. I would say that Devon is one of the best we’ve ever worked with and I would not hesitate to recommend her services.”
“Drea was amazing with Kermit! You can tell how much she loves dogs! From the moment she met him he was so excited and really loved her. Thank you Drea for following my directions so well and giving Kermit extra love!!! ❤️❤️❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since as long as I can remember! I’ve helped train puppies and large dogs. I was a foster to many different types of dogs for two years! I will go the extra mile to care for your animal by playing with them to get them mentally and physically exercised. I love all animals! I am a teacher so I have my summers off! I am available on weekdays and weekends as long as I get a days heads up. I can travel to your house to let the dog out or feed your cat. I have a fenced in yard and no animals or kids. When going to your place, I can bring my own leash and toys if needed. I have my own mode of transportation so traveling back and forth will not be a problem.
About: I’ve had many animals growing up, frogs to bunnies to dogs. They have always gravitated towards me, greeting them with loving open arms. I am excellent at walking dogs even if they are a little leash scared. I have dealt with situations where you encounter other dogs that don’t see eye to eye, staying calm and diverting the situation results in the best outcome. I understand some animals have schedules and I value those as much as the owner. Our pets are part of the family always. Currently have a lot of free time, my schedule is really open to any times. I can be flexible and work around your daily schedule. I will always enter a home with caution to assure the pet is not frightened, make my presence known, and help them welcome me. Following the rules of the house and knowing important details about the pet is very helpful to make sure they feel comfortable too. Taking the pet on the desired walk time or playing with them indoors/outdoors. Also, being respectful of the home you are in, as you are trusting me with your fur baby.
About: I love every animal as if they’re my own! I’ve grown up surround by animals my entire life, so pet sitting was a no brainer! I have experience with both Cats, dogs, kittens, puppies, & seniors! I work full time but can try to make anything work around my schedule! I am a manager, so I get to make my own work hours. In the past, I’ll be able to walk dogs on my lunch breaks - or if needed, I’ll take a break from work. I know animals are more than just pets and they deserve nothing but the best care. I like to stick to pet’s normal routines as much as possible (when walking or dog sitting). And I like to give as many belly rubs that I can get in (if possible)
“What a great person with intelligence, wit and so dependable. I can’t brag on Gina enough! She’s definitely going to be my go to favorite! Very attentive to my fat cat and actually got close! My cat just doesn’t do that but I think they became friends.”
“Sara is incredibly amazing. Trustworthy and responsive. Her communication style provides comfort for any companion animal owner. She's definitely on my short list of people to call when in need. She deserves my highest recommendation.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Del Mar
Chunli was an amazing cat sitter! She followed all of our instructions carefully and always left detailed updates after each drop-in visit. She took wonderful daily photos of Oreo, and it was clear from both the pictures and her updates that he really took a liking to her. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about his well-being. We also really appreciated that she noticed and shared changes in his bathroom habits. We would absolutely book Chunli again and hope she’s available the next time we’re out of town. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
Emily watched my cat Niele again in October and, as always, did a wonderful job! She’s reliable, thoughtful, and keeps me updated with photos that give total peace of mind while I’m away. Niele is always relaxed and content when I return — clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found such a caring and dependable sitter. Highly recommend!

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.
