“Hillary, as usual, does a wonderful job with our kitties. She takes time to give them love and always gets them fed on time. She's always our go-to sitter for me our fur family.”
“Alison was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From our initial meet-and-greet, I could immediately tell she was kind, patient, and genuinely loves animals. As a dog mom, that’s incredibly important to me, and she made me feel completely at ease. During her visit, she took Bentley on a nice walk, spent quality time with him, gave him lots of affection, and followed all of my care instructions perfectly. I could tell she treated him with the same love and attention he’s used to receiving, which meant so much to me. She also kept me updated throughout the visit, and I came home to a happy, relaxed pup. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Alison again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet as if they were their own.”
“Richelle is wonderful and my cats Max and Eli really liked her. She was very flexible and was there for me when I needed her. She is great and I will definitely book her again.”
About: I’m the sitter for you if you want someone who actually LOVES what they do. From the moment I meet your furry friend to the second we part, I take care of them as my own and prioritize their comfort and fun time! Your baby will be safe, happy, and cared for with me, and I have loyal clients who assure the same. Since mine passed away, I’ve taken care of strays, but I still love having those lovely personalities panting around. That’s why I do this; I believe in great dog-sitting care. I am punctual with meal times, love to run and play, clean up, and I love to cuddle/bond with my new little friends. I go above and beyond for my pets and their owners, and I like to get to know them as my own. I welcome new and returning clients and have earned their loyalty with consistency and dedication to my work. Hope to have you join the pack soon! Whenever I have a day off that I don’t have plans on I head over to the Ventura Animal Shelter to donate some of my time and attention to lovely animals. I would love to be able to spend time with dogs since at my current stage in life can’t afford one. ❤️ When taking care of pets in the homes of others, a lot of trust goes into place. I’d be glad to take on that trust.
“Bethany arrived around the same time every day and spent quality time with our Persian cat while we were away. We returned home to our pet in a good mood and was well cared for. Thank you!”

“Mariela was incredible! She was attentive, communicative, and so kind and friendly. We had a power outage while out of town and she handled it all with no issue, making sure my cat had everything he needed.”
“Tai was absolutely amazing with my cats and super sweet. She played so much with my high energy kitty and chilled with my antisocial girl.

About: Full-time 🎉 Home All Day Hi! My name is Noemi. I grew up in a family oriented household with a family that loves animals. I’ve been taking care of them since I was 9! We’ve had dogs, pigs, reptiles, cats, ducks! They were a great way to learn responsibility. I have always brought in rescues providing them with great homes before sending them off to a forever home🤍! I have volunteered at Animal shelters to show my love unconditionally to dogs, cats, bunnies or reptiles! I have a large passion for my furry friends! I have a lot of experience with animals that have suffered with separation anxiety and medical issues. Volunteering at the animal shelters has provided me with great experience professionally and personally. I understand our furry loved ones usually have certain routines to go by. I am very accepting to different family routines! So please feel free to communicate that with me if your furry baby has a specific routine. Momentarily, I only have two dogs and a cat named nimbus! They get along great with other dogs or cats! If you would like me to keep your furry baby separate I can also provide that. My house is larger and I can keep animals separated inside the home or outside what your preference is. I am a very caring and generous person that is very loving and compassionate.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - El Rio
Destiny has treated our cats like her own. When she first started sitting for us she had to give Callie her treats while she was under the bed. Now Callie greets her at the door and can't get enough attention. She's our cat whisperer!!! Our senior has left some gnarly accidents and Destiny doesn't even blink. Destiny is a treasure!!!
We were delighted with Amy’s care of Richard. She sent great photographs and reports every day. She gave him lots of attention, played with him, brushed him as well of taking care of his food, water, litter and snacks. She is highly professional and very pleasant to deal with. We would wholeheartedly recommend her.
I highly recommend Annette! She accepted my booking request on very short notice, which was a huge help. She took great care of my three cats and was reliable, responsive, and thoughtful, sending me pictures and updates during each visit. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pets were in good hands while I was away. I truly appreciated her help and would gladly book with her again.
Christina has been thoroughly attentive and passionate throughout her time in my home and has sent extensive proof. She went the extra mile for us without being asked multiple times and it feels like we can't pay her enough for all she does. Wonderful sitter for any kind of pet. <3
Alexis did a phenomenal job of caring for my two cats. She was accommodating of everything I asked and took great care of them. She sent plenty of updates each day to keep me posted on the status of their health and what silly shenanigans they got into. My house was as I left it, it was like I wasn't even gone. What a pleasure to work with her. I will definitely book her again in the future.
Ariela is outstanding! First she was able to come last minute, second she was able to handle the instructions of my automatic cat feeder (which can be finicky & slightly complicated) and third she came on time! My cat is also super shy but warmed up to her and came out of hiding. Ariela is great with communication, friendly and reliable. She watched my cat for 5 days. I feel very confident and comfortable leaving my pets with her for an extended period of time. I would book with her again in a heartbeat! She gets the human and paw seal of approval!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Margaret They took care of my cat with so much love, attention, and patience that I felt completely at ease while I was away. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and sweet notes about how my cat was doing—which meant the world to me. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and incredibly responsible to watch your furry family member, Margaret is the one. I’d book with them again in a heartbeat!

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.
