About: I've had multiple dogs all my life (all shelter rescues of all sizes and temperaments) and cared for them up into their senior years. From unique feeding routines to walks/runs in the early morning, to fetch, tug-of-war, midday potty breaks, and cuddles, I've done it all! I've also raised and fostered several litters of rescue kittens to be adopted, from bottlefeeding to litterbox training and handling practice. I am well learned in cleaning litterboxes, prepping midday snacks, and providing love and attention for kitties of all ages. I provide runs and walks for various dogs several days a week and house-sit on occasion during the summer. I also drop in to play with, feed, or entertain dogs whose families are away for long periods of time during the day. Because each pet is unique, I ensure clear communication of expectations from the pet's family prior to any walking or sitting. I always carefully monitor pets for signs of stress, discomfort, or injury and am prepared to take action in the event of emergencies. I maintain regular communication with pet families when they're out of town (send pictures and updates of their pets) and organize my weekly walking schedule frequently to ensure convenience for both me and the client. As someone with pets and a love for animals, I hold myself to a high standard to make sure every animal is comfortable and thriving with any walk, run, or visit.
“Ally is a deeply caring, conscious person. My puppy and I are so grateful to have found her on Rover! I have a rambunctious 11-week-old puppy who requires constant supervision. Ally made sure he was safe and cared for! I received pictures on Louie sleeping in her lap and enjoying the garden, which delighted me. No hesitation on giving Ally five stars!!”
“Rain or shine, this young lady goes above and beyond. She takes care of our animals and looks after the safety of our home. She is an incredible part of our support system, and we love her.”
About: When I was 9, I got my first dog, and that is how I started to be interested in being a vet and take care of dogs. I’m a UCD Animal Science student. My class schedule is not very busy other than Thursdays for this quarter, so I will be home most of the time other than that. I have 3 roommates (2 are also Animal Science students) who also loves animals and knows how to take care of them and have experiences with pets. There will usually be at least 1-2 person at home always. We have plenty of space for your pet to run around in the house, and a yard which we can be taking the dog out for potty breaks.
“Zoe is always on time, gives great communication and helps my pup stay out of trouble. I love that we can depend on her each time to give our pup great attention. She also takes great pics!”
“Jessie is wonderful to have as our pet sitter! She communicates well and was so great with Oslo. She is totally trustworthy and we will definitely be calling upon her again!”
“Kelly is amazing! We were gone for 10 days and she took incredible care of our two cats. She was punctual every day, thorough with our cats care each visit, and took great care of the house too. We have one cat that can be difficult while we’re gone but Kelly went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable/ brain storm ideas of how to make him less anxious without us there. She administered his daily to him without complications. Plus she sent us detailed rover cards with tons of pictures which is so appreciated when we are away & missing them. 10/10, would highly recommend! We feel so lucky to have found her as a sitter!”
“Megan was fantastic with my cat Norman. Norman is a diabetic cat who can be aggressive with strangers when they try to give insulin, so it's often tough to find sitters who can manage him. I was so happy with how patient and compassionate Megan was with him. She was extremely reliable and a great communicator, and was able to make sure he got his insulin on time everyday. I would really highly recommend Megan, you can definitely trust her to take great care of your pet!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to my 6 y/o pandemic pup. I grew up around dogs and have spent years helping care for family dogs. As a dog mom myself, I understand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for them. I know firsthand that sometimes it takes a village, and I love being able to help fellow pet parents feel confident that their dogs are safe, happy, and loved while they're cared for! I’m currently a PhD student studying for my qualifying exams, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time at home. As a dog mom myself, daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable are already part of my everyday life. I’m able to plan my work around pet care needs and can provide attentive, consistent care throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I know being away from their owners can be stressful for some pets, so I make sure they get plenty of attention, care, playtime, walks, and patience while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I understand how important trust and communication are, and I aim to make both pets and pet parents feel comfortable. I’ve always had a good rapport with dogs and know how to work with different energy levels, sizes, temperaments, and comfort needs.
“We hired Jessica for a long weekend while we were on vacation. Jessica went above and beyond for our two cats and sent lots of pictures! I would highly recommend her and definitely book again!”
About: I have 5years working experience with both large and small domestic/captive animals. This, along with my education at UCD, has helped me gain utmost confidence in reading an animal’s body language and behaving in ways they can be comfortable with me. I am a big fan of enrichment, so I am all for anything you’re willing to try for your pet that can get their minds stimulated! I’m detail oriented and skilled at maintaining whatever level of energy your pet needs. I’m currently working full time at a farm animal sanctuary and have the flexibility to walk or drop in on your pup between 6a-11a and from 9p-overnight as needed I have a 1bed apartment and a friendly golden that is trained to be around reactive dogs. I love to visit nearby parks and green belts, so rest assured your pet will have the sniff of a lifetime!
About: I’ve taken care of dog for with more than 5 years. I personally have two dogs in the house which are 10 lbs and 30 lbs, both are low to medium energy. I’ve successfully trained 3 puppies in the past 5 years and also fostered senior dogs before for a rescue. For safety reasons, all the dogs will be separated when I’m out, and basic training can be provided if owner requests. Walks twice a day, no dog park trips unless owner requests for safety precautions. No human aggression is allowed, any growling/nipping/snapping for no reasons is not acceptable. If your dog is being too stressed among other dogs, I have separate room to place him/her, and he/she will get quality along time with human every day. Pictures and videos will be send out about 5-10 times/day. I’m a recent graduate at UC Davis, and currently WFH all day. I will walk dogs twice a day and give them bathroom break at least 4-5 times every day. I have a fenced yard in the house. All the dogs will be separated when I’m not at home for safety purposes. Anyone being too stressed will have a separate room for resting.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - El Macero
Jenna was great with our two orange tabby’s. She even managed to get our super scaredy cat “Rocket” to come out from hiding during her visit, which has never happened with any one else! Our kitties were relaxed and happy when we arrived home. Jenna did a great job with our babies and left our house very tidy! She is awesome! Highly recommend!
We came home to a clean house and very happy cats! Our sitter took great care of everything while we were away. Dina kept their water bowls clean and full, made sure they had wet food during her visits, and, most importantly, gave them plenty of love and attention. It was such a relief to come home to cats who were relaxed instead of upset that we’d been gone. We really appreciated the care she gave them and would happily book with Dina again.
Ally is a deeply caring, conscious person. My puppy and I are so grateful to have found her on Rover! I have a rambunctious 11-week-old puppy who requires constant supervision. Ally made sure he was safe and cared for! I received pictures on Louie sleeping in her lap and enjoying the garden, which delighted me. No hesitation on giving Ally five stars!!
Carmen was just the person we needed to give us peace of mind knowing our cat was cared for while we were away for the week. She followed instructions provided, asked follow up questions for clarification when needed, and showed great patience as our cat was quite shy for the first few days.
Jessica and her daughters did a fantastic job taking care of my cats while I was away. She was reliable and communicative. She kept me updated and made sure everything kitties need were taken care of. My cats were happy and relaxed when I returned, which says a lot. I really appreciate their professionalism and kindness.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a El Macero stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
