About: I've taken care of cats since I was a little kid and I've helped family and friends with dog walking. I'm also able to play and exercise with your pet in any way necessary. I am currently a fulltime student. I am free Monday and Wednesday mornings, Monday through Thursday after 4:30pm, and I am free all day Friday and Saturday. I can clean up after your pet (litterbox, accidents, puke, etc.), and clean your pet (brushing, etc). I also can engage in play and exercise of all kinds to best meet your pets needs.
About: For over 21 years, I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. In addition to raising and caring for my own dog, I have successfully completed numerous pet and house sitting assignments through a couple of online marketplaces, earning exclusively 5-star reviews and multiple repeat invitations from pet owners. My experience includes caring for puppies, senior pets, anxious pets, multi-pet households, and maintaining consistent routines tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I pride myself on providing a calm, loving, and structured environment that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their families are away. My professional background managing luxury homes, investment properties, and complex operations has made me exceptionally detail-oriented, organized, dependable, and proactive. I treat every home with the same level of respect, cleanliness, responsibility, and care that I would expect for my own, providing both pets and their families with the highest level of comfort and peace of mind. I recently relocated to Southern California and currently maintain a very flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate a wide variety of pet care needs. I am available during weekdays, evenings, weekends, holidays, and for overnight stays. As I establish my professional pet care business in California, I am prioritizing flexibility, reliability, and building long-term relationships with pets and their families. This allows me to provide attentive care, prompt communication, and customized support based on each household’s specific needs and routines. Safety, consistency, and communication are my highest priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s established routines, feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, and behavioral preferences to minimize stress and provide a comfortable experience. Having cared for pets in a wide variety of home environments, I understand the importance of maintaining a clean, organized, and secure environment while respecting each family’s home and privacy. I provide regular updates, photos, videos and prompt communication so pet parents can enjoy complete peace of mind while away. I maintain a calm, organized lifestyle, non-smoker, sober-minded and have extensive experience caring for pets that require additional patience, affection, structure, or attention due to age, anxiety, or personality differences.
About: As a long time owner of a working breed, I am familiar with energetic dogs that need both physical activity and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. I go on daily hour long strolls each evening with my own dog as well as morning walks with play sessions scattered throughout the day. In addition to caring for my own dog, I've regularly helped friends and watch their dogs while they're away. This has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it's taking them on walks, keeping up with feeding schedules, providing companionship, or making sure they feel comfortable in a new environment, I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique needs and personality! When caring for your dog, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away, whether that means going on long walks, playing fetch, sticking to their routine, or simply providing companionship and attention. I live in a home with a fenced backyard with my partner who is also work from home, so we have a very flexible schedule and will always have at least one person supervising your pet. Since I've also used dog sitting apps before for when I needed to travel abroad, I understand how important it is to keep you updated with photos, messages, and plenty of reassurance so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in good hands. I'm currently in-between jobs, so I'll have plenty of time to spend the day with your pups! This also means my current schedule is very flexible to fit around your dogs routine and needs. I have a fenced backyard with a friendly 4 year old Samoyed in a very walk-able neighborhood. I have a dog bed is most rooms around the house so they can pick and choose wherever they wish to lounge.
About: I've had dogs all my life. I started taking care of mine (+feeding, grooming, bathing, training, etc) when I was about 10 years old. I mostly work mid-shifts so I'm available for night stays when needed. Weekend mornings are completely free so early walks. Mondays and Tuesdays are completely free as well. I would prefer to care for your dog at your house because mine isn't fenced in. I will make sure to ask/know about your house ahead of time to do the best for your dog.
About: I have a heart for animals and love being with them and taking care of them. It really brings me a lot of joy. I love walking dogs and going on a mini adventure. Playing with them and making sure they have everything they need to keep them happy and healthy. I'm pretty flexible Monday - Saturday for dog walking, dog/cat sitting.Can start around 7am - 9pm most days. I can also do overnights if needed and come back later in the day if needed. I'm reliable and responsible. I will give loving care to your pet just like I would my own dog or cat. I have a heart for animals and they bring me joy. I aim to give that joy right back to them too! I love walking dogs and taking care of fur babies.
“Sheila is amazing! She is a kind and caring person who did everything possible to make my cats feel comfortable. Sheila showed genuine interest in knowing about each one of my five kitties, their little idiosyncrasies, habits, and personalities. She was very communicative and made me feel confident that my kitties were well taken care of while I was away.”
About: I have dog sat for 12 years, as well as have trained my dogs in star puppy, canine good citizen, and therapy dog certification(s). I have checked in on pets of local friends as well as taken dogs from the shelter on day trips. At this time, I am providing walking and daily check-in services. I work locally as a part time admin for an underprivileged reading program and greatly enjoy this position, which also allows me spare time to help with local pets I use my background knowledge with working with pets as well as students and making sure that your pet feels comfortable and has their needs. I am highly familiar with the Old Fig and Fresno area and walk my own dog weekly. I pride myself on making safe and positive choices, as well as ensuring that all pets feel welcome.
“We highly recommend Melanie. Our cats are old, so it is wonderful to leave them in caring hands! Melanie is communicative, experienced, and you can tell she actually cares. Thank you for taking such great care of our beloved cats!”
“Hannah was our savior when it came to needing a last minute drop in and she couldn’t have been more perfect. She was super communicative and sent tons of pictures from her time with Arthur. We will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
“Thank you SO much! Alex checked on our dogs twice a day and I feel like I came home to a cleaner house and better trained dogs. I am so grateful that we’ve found such a great person to help us with dog care. Thank you so much Alex.”
About: I have a nine year old maltipoo and 1 year old mini schnauzer at home. the maltipoo is calm tempered and the schnauzer is playful and crate trained. I’m currently in nursing school so most of the week I am at home studying. I usually take my dogs for a walk in the morning, middle of the day, and one more time around dinner time. I have a fenced yard at home but my dogs often hang out in my bedroom while i’m at my desk doing my homework.
About: I work at a puppy preschool training different breeds and ages of dogs. I have 2 dogs and 2 reptiles of my own, and watch my neighbors cats. Im currently working part time and doing school full time, mainly online. With this I have time to spare doing what | love; working with animals. My schedule is open, every other Saturday I do have to be at the nearly Fire Station due to being a Fire Explorer. In regards to caring for pets in my clients home I would take the pet for a walk, playing with them to initiate brain stimulation, and physical activity. If there were to be specific instructions left by the owners, I would try to accurately meet their accommodations.
“Sonia is just the best. She goes above and beyond, and showed my cats some real love. I will never love leaving my cats behind, but looking forward to the pictures and the updates put me so much at ease, and let me focus on what I was doing without worrying about my cat. She plays, combs, scoops, feeds, waters, and hides little treats so the wayward cat gets to have some stimulation between visits. Sonia is number 1 and will be my go-to for pet sitting.”
“Delia is awesome and very thorough with our pet’s needs! I feel relieved to have someone with great experience look after our precious fur babies. We look forward to booking her again soon.”
About: I grew up with family pets such as nursing my 3 legged dog and rescuing cats. As well, as sitting for my cousins family pets! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine since I am available mornings and afternoons! A daily walk is great of me and my furry friend I care for my furry friends like family. I believe animals are pure innocence and need love and patience. Every animal has different levels of energy and socialization. They should be serviced to what they need!
“Sara did a great job taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She even was able to stick to our dogs complicated feeding schedule. I had peace of mind knowing Sara was checking on dog.”
“First time leaving our kitten in someone else’s care and we couldn’t have been happier. Ann was super attentive, thoughtful and kept us thoroughly updated. Most importantly, our Violet was well taken care of and had a great time with her! Ann will be our go-to the next time we need help.”
“We are so indebted to the warm and loving care Mark C. gave to our cat Edie. We have never used a pet sitter we don't know before but Mark C was great from the beginning. He came by to meet Edie about a week before. He asked a lot of questions and was very attentive with her. Throughout the visits, Mark was very communicative and sent a lot of pictures. It was apparent that Mark got to know Edie, as he texted about her habits and quirks. I knew that Edie was in great hands. Mark is the best - I'd give him 10 stars if I could.”

Hannah is the best! She came to my rescue on short notice and under unusual circumstances. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and capable. I cannot recommend Hannah highly enough! She is a lifesaver and absolutely wonderful to work with."
Jessie was amazing with my cat. She was incredibly gentle, patient, and caring with my cat. Even during the meet and greet, my cat warmed up to her right away with no adjustment period at all. By the end, my cat absolutely adored her. Super grateful for the thoughtful care and attention during the drop-in visits.
Joli has been amazing from the first message, to her check in and pictures, to leaving our home in better order than she found it, to communicating to schedule more visits. I was really looking for someone who was not just great with my boys, but also demonstrated professionalism, accountability and that I could find trustworthy of handling the responsibility of caring for my babies. Joli has been the sitter I was hoping for! Thank you so much, Joli, for helping me have peace of mind for much needed time away! Looking forward to having you stay with the boys for many more trips!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Duarte 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.
