“Veronica quickly became besties with my cat and took care of him with so much love! She sent daily pics and I would book her again in a heartbeat. Incredibly caring and reliable :)”

“Angie is very sweet and quickly made my clingy cat comfortable. She made the extra effort to spend time with him so that he wouldn’t be lonely and even monitored his diet as the vet said he was a little overweight. Her responses to messages were timely and she sent pictures whenever I asked. She also got my mail, kept my plants alive and was very accommodating when my garage door acted up while I was away. This is not the first time she has done housesitting for me and I will happily continue booking her services.”

I will always maintain situational awareness, and a secure leash while on walks with your pet to ensure their safety.

About: I provide private, one family at a time dog care in a calm, clean, and structured home environment. I am home full time, so your dog receives consistent supervision, a predictable routine, and truly individualized attention. This is not a high volume setting. Your dog is never rotated between multiple households or unfamiliar pets. Your dog is treated like a family member, not a booking slot. Because I care for only one family at a time, each stay is quiet, low stress, and thoughtfully managed. This approach is ideal for dogs who thrive on consistency, including seniors, sensitive personalities, or those who prefer a more relaxed environment. My home is clean, secure, and intentionally set up for comfort and structure. Days include walks, enrichment, and plenty of downtime. Dogs can sleep in their usual setup or nearby, depending on what helps them feel most at ease. I stay attentive and adjust care throughout the day to match each dog’s needs. I offer boarding, house sitting, drop ins, and dog walking throughout Los Angeles and Orange County. I’m always happy to answer questions or arrange a meet and greet to ensure the right fit. I maintain a flexible, home-centered schedule and structure my days around the pets in my care. This allows me to be present, responsive, and consistent throughout the day. I follow routines closely, communicate clearly, and pay careful attention to each pet’s comfort and safety. I accept only one family at a time and maintain a clean, secure environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space, follow house rules, and keep everything clean and tidy.

About: For years, I've cared for my own dogs and provided pet sitting and house sitting for family and friends. Through those experiences, I've learned how important it is to keep pets comfortable by following their routines and giving them plenty of attention and affection. In addition to handling dogs, I also have experience with cats, birds, and reptiles, so I'm comfortable looking after a variety of pets and their unique needs. I'm flexible, reliable, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I'm available every day from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, so it will be easy to fit in pet visits and other quick pet services. I understand that every pet and family has different scheduling needs, so I'm happy to be flexible whenever possible. My goal is to provide dependable care that works best for you while ensuring your pet receives the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I will carefully follow your instructions and respect your house rules, while keeping your pet's daily routine to help them feel secure when you're away. I also make sure the environment stays clean, safe, and free of anything that could be a potential risk for me and your pet. Whether it's double-checking that doors and gates are secure, keeping food and belongings where they should be, or maintaining a tidy space, I'll care for your home and your pet with the same attention and respect I would my own.

“Esmeralda was amazing!! Would absolutely book her again. She took care of our sweet and wild Andy (even tracking down his GPS tracker when he inexplicably lost it!) and I could tell he was super well cared for while we were away. She was also an awesome guest in our home. 15/10 stars”

About: I have over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience, including extensive work as an Emergency & Critical Care Veterinary Technician. I am highly experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior and special-needs pets. My background allows me to confidently care for pets who require medications (oral, injectable, insulin), post-surgical monitoring, special diets, mobility assistance, and close observation for medical changes. I am trained to recognize early signs of illness or distress and take calm, appropriate action. Beyond medical care, I focus on creating a safe, comforting, low-stress environment for pets while their families are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand how important trust, reliability, and communication are to pet parents. Pet care is something I do part-time to supplement my income, which allows me to remain flexible and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I coordinate care around the pet’s routine, medical requirements, and comfort level, whether that means scheduled drop-ins, extended visits, or adjusting timing as needed. I prioritize reliability, clear communication, and consistency so pets experience as little disruption to their normal routine as possible Safety, trust, and compassion are at the core of how I care for animals. I approach every pet with patience, empathy, and respect, especially those who are anxious, elderly, recovering, or have medical needs. My background in emergency veterinary medicine allows me to remain calm, observant, and responsive while providing gentle, attentive care in both my home and a client’s home. I focus on creating a low-stress, nurturing environment by closely observing behavior, respecting boundaries, and meeting each pet where they are emotionally and physically. My goal is to provide not just supervision, but the reassurance and comfort pets need to feel safe, cared for, and understood.
About: I’ve been having dogs and cats since i’ve been younger, I have lived with 8 cats and 4 dogs all together. I’m very patient with pets because I understand they think differently than humans.

I do attend college only tuesdays and thursdays, so other else the rest days im ready to take care of pets. Making sure there’s no dangerous such are poisonous items or fluids around. Having them feed and hydrated up to make them feel satisfied. Playing and spending quality time and get to know each individual pets personalities.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Downey
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Haleigh was absolutely wonderful! She came to my home while I was out of town to check on my two cats and my dog, and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable having her there. She made sure all of my pets were fed and taken care of, and she even cleaned up the messes they made while I was gone. 🐶🐱🐱 It gave me such peace of mind knowing my fur babies and my home were in good hands. Haleigh was dependable, caring, and respectful of my home. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable to care for their pets! ❤️
Anika was great at communicating and I could tell she developed a fun & loving relationship with all the cats. She got to know their personalities quickly and how to interact with each of them. We were gone for our wedding and I was happy to not worry at all about the cats while we were gone, I could tell Anika really cared about them and we were able to relax on our wedding day knowing they were in good hands.

Just got home and we were received by healthy happy dogs and cat. Brianna did a wonderful job of taking care of our three furry babies. She followed their/our routine down to the last word. Very efficient but mostly kind and patient with our furry babies. Definitely would book with her again. 5 stars all the way.
This was my first time using Rover so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Cleo was great to work with. She was super responsive and attentive to my cat. My Goldie typically doesn’t like people. She hides. I love that she provides pictures. Goldie didn’t hide and watched Cleo. That’s really a good start. This service was easy to use and I will definitely use Cleo again.
Karla was incredibly kind, attentive, and went above and beyond while caring for my cat. My cat absolutely loved her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was very responsive, paid close attention to detail, and kept me updated throughout my vacation, which really helped ease my worries. I truly appreciated the level of care and compassion she showed. I’m looking forward to rebooking with her in the future!

This was my 2nd time booking Hailee & she went above and beyond! When she arrived at my house, one of the smoke detectors was going off and she made sure the house was safe before leaving my pets at home alone. She was calm and professional in dealing with me and that unexpected situation. She takes wonderful pictures and truly seems to care about my pets. I recommend her highly!

Rebecca is awesome! She is very communicative, pays great attention to details, and super sweet too. This is our second time booking with her and it’s been a blessing to have someone we trust and feel comfortable with watching our cats while we are out of town. I would book her more often but I only really go away once a year. She is the first person I’d think of if I need a sitter for any of my cats or dogs.

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

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.
