“Phenomenal and absolutely caring. My cat looovvved Terri. Terri's care and communication made me feel completely at ease. Her passion for animals goes way beyond. Would absolutely hire again.”
“We absolutely adore our girls Luna, and Ripley, so leaving town is always incredibly difficult. Tiffany put us at ease immediately! She was very knowledgeable and has a wonderful way of interacting with our cats that made us feel so comfortable. We adored the pictures, videos, and little stories she sent us throughout our time away, each one was wonderful and reassuring! We are so happy our girls have a new friend who will come visit them when mom and dad are gone. The peace of mind has been truly priceless! ^-^”
About: I grew up always having a house full of dogs, my family usually had four or five at a time. I've been enjoying life with my pug, however I would like to enjoy and take care of other dogs too! I love running, taking my dog to the park, snuggling and teaching dogs new tricks! Love dogs of all sizes and breeds! Looking to earn extra income for college, and something flexible! I have reliable transportation. I am into fitness so if your dog likes to go on runs I am down for it! I look forward to watching your dog and making their time with me the best ever! Please feel free to reach out to me thank you -Paige I currently work part time, and am always down for some exercise by taking your dog out for walks! My schedule is pretty flexible, and I am willing to work with your schedule as well! I have a fenced in 3 acre property, and I’m able to keep my dogs separate from yours if needed. I will ensure to lock your doors and put everything where it should be if I was at your house.
“Sara was fantastic! She came over before our scheduled day to meet our dogs and familiarize herself with our dogs schedule and details for their routine. We have never hired a dog service before and we’re apprehensive at first. The day of service she kept us informed and even sent pictures of our fur babies to let us know how they’re doing. We felt comfortable knowing Sara was tending to them. We definitely recommend hiring her services and will be using Rover and requesting Sara for future dog sitting services. :)”
“This was our first experience using Rover.com, and we couldn't have been happier! Our sitter, Elaine, is terrific! Not only did she capture amazing pictures of our two Bengal cats, she even managed to win over Shiloh, who normally runs and hides under the bed whenever a stranger comes into our home. My husband and I could hardly believe our eyes when we watched the video of Shiloh letting Elaine pet her. It was nice, too, to come home to a clean and tidy area where the food dishes are as our cats always like dropping their food on the floor before eating. I highly recommend Elaine.”
“Grace was wonderful! I have never left my pets with a stranger before, but she made me feel so comfortable. Grace was quick to respond and checked in regularly. It seems like the cats really warmed to her. I will absolutely book Grace again in the future.”

Whether it’s managing a household with multiple dogs, sticking to detailed routines, waking up for early morning potty breaks, or giving medications, I’m happy to do whatever helps your pets feel comfortable and cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, so I treat every animal as if they were my own - with patience and love. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are safe, happy, and getting lots of attention. *disclaimer i don’t do overnights* - I work full time ranging from 5am or 6:00am depending on week schedule and off by 3pm latest. I will wake up early to make sure your animal is set and taken care of before i start my day and make sure i give lots of love when im off work. I do have my own dog so i cannot do overnights but i will absolutely check in on your dog and stay for a few hours so they don’t feel neglected. Maybe watch a movie with them and/or go on a walk depending on weather. I try to stick with their routines as best i can as i know that’s important! I’m patient, dependable, and I genuinely love caring for animals. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications if needed, and all the little details that help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, well cared for, and getting lots of affection along the way. i’ve never used this service. i’ve always done it by word of mouth getting around but i promise if you ask anyone i’ve dog sat for they’d recommend me!
About: I have been a full-time puppy whelper for the past 8 years and come highly recommended with lots of references. I welcome all different breeds. I am always home. While I do have to pick up and drop off my children for their various sports and activities, it’s just a five minute drive away.I am always available. Plus, I’m attending school online from the comfort of my home. I live on 1 1/2 acres with a mini horse, two small goats that like to visit the neighbors and two potbelly pigs. Additionally I have two older French bulldogs who are house trained and very friendly, as well as two cane corsos who get along well with all animals including pony,goats, and pigs- they’re all pals! All of my animals are well-behaved , and I’ve often been told I should’ve been a vet or a dog trainer because of my love for animals. I have two separate backyards-one for the smaller dogs and one for the bigger ones. However I’m accustomed to rotating them due to my experience as a whelper. I know how to manage introducing new dogs and keeping them separate if needed.My dogs have access to indoors and outdoors, and they sleep in the house at night. I’ve set up set up my garage to be cozy and welcoming for dogs to stay in at night.
About: Hi! I’m Tarron — lifelong animal lover, rescue director, and experienced handler with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs and many other animals including cats, ducks, goats, bunnies. I’m the Executive Director of a nonprofit animal rescue and have extensive experience with: * rescue and anxious dogs * senior dogs * puppies * medication administration * decompression and slow introductions * leash handling and structured walks * dogs recovering from surgery/injury * reactive or fearful dogs I understand that every dog is different and I always prioritize safety, patience, structure, and making dogs feel comfortable and secure. Because I have animals of my own and run a rescue, I currently focus on: * drop-in visits * dog walking * medication visits * structured enrichment walks * pet transport/help with vet visits I’m especially comfortable with dogs that may need a little extra understanding or experience beyond a typical pet sitter/walker. Reliable, communicative, calm, and genuinely passionate about animal welfare. I currently work as a program manger for adults with special needs, and manage a small team of individuals. Mornings and evening are best. As well as Tuesdays, and weekends. I do not provide pet care in my own home at this time, but I will gladly come to yours and spend time with your fur babies!
About: My husband David and I are lifelong dog lovers who have welcomed many rescue dogs into our family over the years. Our current pets—a Pomeranian and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel—are both very friendly and get along wonderfully with other dogs. We also have a rescued indoor/outdoor cat who is equally social and gentle. After a five-year break, we’re excited to return to pet sitting because of our genuine love for animals and the joy we’ve had helping dogs and their owners. Our Home & Care We live on one acre of fully secured, fenced-in land with a dog run area and a doggie door for easy access. David is retired and home most of the day, so your pets will have plenty of attention. He primarily covers daytime care, while I handle evenings and feedings. We have many years of experience dog- and cat-sitting for family and friends, both in the Bay Area and now in our current community. We understand firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your “fur babies,” and our goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Additional Services For an added charge, I can provide grooming services during your pet’s stay, as I am a former professional dog groomer. We look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing them with a safe, loving, and fun environment while you’re away! My husband is retired and home during the day, so he handles the daytime routines. I take over in the afternoons and evenings to ensure consistent care. We go on daily leash walks with our dogs, and at night, your pup is welcome to sleep in our room for comfort and companionship We have a fully secured, fenced-in backyard with over an acre of space for dogs to safely run, play, and explore. Our pets are truly part of our family, and we will care for your dogs with the same love, attention, and safety we give our own
About: Hi! My name is Victoria, and I’m 27 years old. I work a hybrid remote schedule, so I’m home most of the time with my three-year-old Husky, Thorfinn. I grew up around dog rescue and was used to having 8–10 dogs in the house at a time. That experience taught me how to care for dogs with all kinds of personalities — including the stubborn, sassy, energetic, teething, and occasionally mischievous ones! I’m comfortable with dogs who need patience, consistency, and a little extra attention. My rescue experience has also given me hands-on experience with dogs who need additional care. I’ve helped care for a Rottweiler recovering from a serious hip injury, including assisting her with mobility, medications, and getting around in a wheelchair. I’ve also administered eye drops and other medications and have experience caring for dogs who may not be thrilled about their treatments. 😊 I’ve also transported rescue dogs to foster and forever homes throughout California, which gave me the opportunity to work with shelters, rescue organizations, and fosters across the state. Dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and personalities are welcome! I’m pretty active, so if your dog loves hiking, swimming, running, playing outside, or going on adventures, I’d be happy to keep them moving and entertained. And for the dogs who would rather spend the day relaxing, getting cuddles, and being spoiled, I’m more than happy to provide that too. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m excited to meet you and your pets! 🐾 Thank you for considering me!
About: I have been an avid dog lover my whole life I wouldn't know what to do without one. I am now retired and I thought what better way to spend my time than to hang out with my favorite 4 legged people. I am actively involved with several pet rescue organizations and would feed my dogs before I would eat I am retired so I'm available pretty much anytime you need me. If you need someone to take your fur baby for a walk or to drop in and say hi and play with them for a while I'm your guy I have 2 dogs 1 pug and 1 chi-weenie they have a fenced in area that is also covered to keep them out of the sun and rain

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. My very first pet was my childhood cat, who I got when I was 2 years old and who lived with me for 17 wonderful years before crossing the rainbow bridge. I’ve always had a special connection with animals and a passion for caring for them. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for many different types of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and more. I currently have two Dobermans and a kitty of my own. I recently moved to a 2 acre property, which has been amazing for training and working with my dogs, they’re truly thriving with the space and lifestyle they deserve. To me, pets are family, and I always strive to give them the best care, attention, and love possible. I’ve also rescued and fostered kittens in need, helping them find safe and loving forever homes. Caring for animals genuinely brings me happiness, and having them in my life has always been incredibly fulfilling. I currently work part time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I already care for my own animals every day. At my home, pets have access to a large, secure fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. I also have spacious fenced in kennels available if needed for safety, rest time, or individual comfort. Pets are always supervised, given plenty of attention, and cared for in a clean, calm environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines, instructions, and house rules to help pets feel comfortable and stress free in their familiar environment. I like to check in with pet parents often, sending pictures and updates to give them peace of mind while their pets are in my care.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .

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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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.
