“She did such a great job with our two dogs. The home visit went well and the dogs were very happy when we got home after her first visit. Looking forward to her next drop in!”
“Lisa was so kind and helpful with my pup! I booked her to help socialize my nervous dog and he warmed up to her so easily! Such a positive experience on all accounts! Will definitely book her again when we need dog walking help! Thank you Lisa!”
“Bailey did an amazing job taking care of our two kittens. It was our first time leaving our kittens, and Bailey made sure to provide timely updates so we were able to relax on vacation knowing the kittens were well taken care of. My kids looked forward to all the cute pictures and videos she sent over daily. Great communication, responsible, and very competent pet sitter. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook again. Thank you Bailey!”
“1000% recommend! Regi was super sweet and attentive to our cat's needs. Not only did she go above and beyond, but she also showed initiative. We will definitely become repeat clients ❤️”
“As always, DanaRene is amazing! Communicative, reliable, and wonderful with my kitties! They always look forward to seeing her and I feel safe leaving them in her care.”
“Amyra recently stayed with my dog for a week while I went on vacation and I could tell from the pictures she sent me that he was happy and well taken care of. That was the first time I left him for that long and her updates really put my mind at ease. So much so, in fact, that I just rebooked her for drop-in visits while I was away from home for the entire day. I won't hesitate to book Amyra again if the need arises.”
About: I have cared for animals for most of my life, including my beloved Chihuahua for nearly 18 years. I was with her through every stage of life—from puppyhood to her senior years when she needed extra patience, medication, and specialized care. That experience taught me how important consistency, attentiveness, and gentle handling are. Over the years, friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. Your pet's safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I offer walks and drop-in visits for puppies, adults, seniors, and pets with special needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, reinforcing established routines, and adapting to each pet's individual temperament and energy level. I encourage owners to provide as much detail as they'd like about their pet's routine, preferences, and quirks. My goal is to make your dog or cat feel as comfortable and secure as possible while you're away by keeping their routine familiar and predictable. I know how difficult it can be to leave a beloved pet in someone else's care. Trust means everything. I strive to provide calm, one-on-one attention, reliable communication, and thoughtful care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. What sets me apart is my long-term experience as a pet owner, hands-on experience with puppy training and senior care, patience, careful observation, and my commitment to treating every pet with the same kindness and respect I gave my own. Pet care fits into my daily routine. I plan my schedule to ensure reliable feeding, walks, check-ins, and focused one-on-one attention without rushing or stress. I treat my clients’ homes with care and respect, follow all instructions closely, maintain a safe environment, and focus on making pets feel calm, secure, comfortable, and well cared for.
“I have lost count on how many times we hired Irina. She does everything perfectly and our cat loves her! She left the food area and our sink squeaky clean. Once you have her take care of your pets once you would never need other sitters!”
“Bennie and Jennie did an absolute amazing job taking care of Lynx! Bennie and Jennie went above and beyond to ensure Lynx was safe and sound. They are Incredibly professional and I strongly recommend them. I will be using Bennie and Jennie very soon!”
“I needed someone to play with my super energetic cat (Skooma) while I have to be away. Skooma loves her and follows her around during her visits. My old, grouchy cat (Bidoof) usually hides when people come in but she seems to stay visible when Victoria is around which is an amazing thing for Bidoof. We love Victoria! She is super nice and accommodating, even when I needed to add a last minute day to her visiting schedule. 💖”
About: I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I've taken care of many of my friends' and family's dogs, including overnight house sitting, daily walks, and trips to the dog park. I've cared for dogs of all sizes and ages—from young, energetic dogs that need extra attention to older dogs that require a little more patience and care. One of my special skills is keeping active dogs engaged and exercised. I love running, so I'm happy to give energetic dogs plenty of exercise and playtime so they can come home happy, relaxed, and ready for a nap. I also understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, and I take the time to care for each one accordingly. I currently have a flexible schedule because I am looking for work, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups! When caring for pets, I am very attentive and make sure they are my first priority. I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel comfortable and well cared for while you're away!

“Rachel is amazing and wonderful. So glad we found her to check in on our 3 dogs. All our dogs are comfortable with her and enjoy her company. She is detail oriented and makes sure our dogs are well taken care of. She takes pictures and videos of them when she drops in for a visit. She is also super flexible and understanding when we have change of plans. Pick Rachel as your go to Rover person!”
“Kayla is a very delightful young lady. She took very good care of my babies. I would highly recommend her to anybody. She was efficient on time and just the total delight. She was a total package. She knew her stuff and she was very professional highly recommend her to anybody.”
“Yifan is amazing! We hired her to check in on our cat (who is my baby!) and she was so warm and friendly towards khaleesi. She took good care of her, sent daily reports and pictures, did everything I asked and beyond, and I will 100% continue booking w her in the future/anytime we need a pet sitter! I was able to enjoy my trip without having to worry about my baby. Your pet is in good hands with Yifan!”
“Susana was INCREDIBLE!!! She took the best care of our furry son, Pepe! I loved getting multiple pictures every morning and evening when she visited. I saw how far they walked, how many times he went potty, how much he ate and drank. It was the first time Pepe did not lose weight from missing us so much while we were gone. I know it was because Susana took care and loved him as her own. Every time we go out of town, Susana will be the first person we call to care for Pepe!”
“Amanda did a great job with Dex. Meeting him for the first time Dex really warmed up to her very fast. Communication was good and I never had a worry while being away. Thank you!”
“We were SO glad we found Erica to watch our pets while we were away. During the meet and greet we knew she would be perfect - her calm, kind, and loving demeanor was perfect for our pets. She sent pictures and updates every day, and went above and beyond to make sure our home and everything in it was well taken care of. We will definitely book her again in the future, and would recommend her to anyone searching for a pet sitter.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East Irvine
This was our second time working with Minghua, and we came back to her because we had such a great experience the first time. She is incredibly trustworthy, caring, and attentive. When our apartment got too warm and ants started appearing, Minghua went above and beyond by cleaning up the ants as much as she could. She then voluntarily made an extra trip to our apartment to turn on the AC, which we hoped would help resolve the issue. She also played with our cat a lot and sent us plenty of photos and updates. It was obvious that our cat absolutely loved her!
An absolute miracle worker! My kitty can be super shy and slow to adjust, but Regi connected with her so quickly. Regi took great care of my baby, sent the best pictures and was all-around more than I ever could have asked for. It gave me such peace of mind to know my cat was being well cared for and getting love and attention (and her meds) even when I wasn’t home.
This is our second time booking Amanda, and once again, our cat had an amazing time while we were out of town! She made sure to give him plenty of cuddles and playtime during every visit, and she always provided detailed Rover Cards with lots of photos and videos. Amanda is reliable, responsible, and such a sweetheart with our cat. We would absolutely book her again!
This was the first time using Diana and she was fantastic! Symba took her really easily and her notes back with all the images was exactly what I needed to make sure my baby was OK while I travel home today. Thank you Diana for taking the last minute check in! Will be re-booking again soon.
Yifan is amazing! We hired her to check in on our cat (who is my baby!) and she was so warm and friendly towards khaleesi. She took good care of her, sent daily reports and pictures, did everything I asked and beyond, and I will 100% continue booking w her in the future/anytime we need a pet sitter! I was able to enjoy my trip without having to worry about my baby. Your pet is in good hands with Yifan!
Because of her experience, we had a peace of mind leaving Alvina to take care of our cats. She lovingly tended to our cats’ specific needs and was flexible when problems arose, ensuring that they are happy and well. A great pet sitter that went above and beyond!!

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.
