“Maggie was a last minute find for originally a two day but accommodated for a three day instead. Very flexible and does very well with our frenchie and cavapoo. Special needs dogs and I was not worried at all when Maggie was there to see the pups, feed and even apply medicines (topical and injection!) We found an amazing one.”
About: I’ve always had a special connection with dogs. I’ve had two dogs of my own, and I also regularly care for dogs belonging to friends and family. I truly love animals, especially dogs, and enjoy everything from long walks and playtime to simply keeping them company and making them feel safe and comfortable. I have a calm, welcoming home with a yard and plenty of space for dogs to relax and feel at home. I also have a great nearby park where dogs can enjoy walks, fresh air, and plenty of outdoor time. I’m patient, attentive, affectionate, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s feeding, walking, sleeping, and care schedule as closely as possible. For added convenience, pickup may also be available with advance notice, depending on location and scheduling. My goal is simple: while you’re away, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. 🐾 I am the sole caregiver for pets booked through my Rover account. No one else assists with pet care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority. I’m available throughout the week for boarding, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I can easily adjust my routine around your dog’s needs and usual schedule, so they can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have a calm, comfortable home with a yard and a peaceful environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special routines. I supervise pets closely, keep their environment clean and safe, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. There’s also a great park nearby for walks and outdoor time. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority.
“Our cats are typically on the shy side when meeting new people, but warmed up quickly with David. Which shows he's genuinely great with pets. This would be our 2nd time booking with David, and will definitely book again! Thank you David!!!”
About: Hi! I recently rejoined Rover after settling into the OC area over the past couple of years. I’m also a proud dog owner myself, with a 2.5-year-old pup, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. I’ve spent the past few years taking care of friends’ dogs, but had to step away because work had me traveling constantly. Now that I’m no longer traveling for work, I’m excited to get back to something I’ve always enjoyed — spending time with dogs and helping other pet parents out. I grew up around all kinds of animals and have always loved having dogs around. I’m the type who will happily play with them, teach them a few tricks, or take them on a nice long walk. I also love getting my steps in, so keeping your dog active is a win-win! If your pup loves walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, I’d love to meet them! I’m available for dog walking and dog sitting Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. I have a flexible schedule during those hours and can provide plenty of time, attention, playtime, and exercise for your pup. I take dogs’ safety and health absolutely the priority. I’m happy to work with clients for their individual needs on it. If clients do have certain safety concerns, please communicate so their dogs can be in the best preferred environment as much as possible.
About: With 20+ years of dog ownership, I offer reliable, attentive care tailored to each dog’s needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I create a calm, structured environment where your pet will feel at home. I’m available for care 7 day a week including holidays. Your animals will be taken on walks and tons of sniffy moments. Your animals will be receiving a lot of love and attention throughout the day with videos, gps trackers and pics to show for it. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home where pets are always supervised and treated like family. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, and any specific instructions. My home is pet-friendly, and I make sure all dogs feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free. I also have a friendly, well-socialized dog for companionship if your pup enjoys other dogs.
About: I’ve owned pets for over 15 years and have professionally taken care of dogs and cats for over 7 years. I am known to be reliable, caring and patient. I work my full time job at home but am available for visits or walks during lunch hours and anytime after 5:30. I am available on weekends any time as needed. I have a 75lb Staffy/Bulldog who is well trained/extremely sweet. She is well known by my neighbors and can be considered as the doggie president in my condo community. She’s on a weight loss diet, and I can help your pets with that, or give any medications to your pets if needed.
About: I truly treat every dog like family — I even call my friends’ and clients’ pups my “nieces and nephews.” Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds, including golden retrievers, pugs, shibas, and shih tzus, each with their own unique personalities and needs. One thing I’m especially proud of is helping shy or anxious dogs feel more confident. With patience, structure, and lots of positive reinforcement, I’ve built strong, trusting relationships with pups who need a little extra love and reassurance. I always go above and beyond to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and adored. Whether it’s giving treats, playing in the park, keeping them engaged with fun activities, or tucking them in for the coziest nap — I make their time with me feel like a home-away-from-home. We’re able to provide 24/7 care, which is something we’re really proud of. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and even on the days I go into the office, I always come home at lunch to check in. My fiancé works from home full-time, so there’s always someone here to give your pup attention, comfort, and company. Caring for pets is a natural, happy part of our everyday life. I always stay close to the pets I’m caring for so I can quickly respond to their needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I pay attention to their body language, and if a pet seems unsure or unhappy, I take the time to understand what they need and help them feel at ease. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all house rules and routines exactly as instructed. I’m very respectful of both the home and the pet’s normal schedule, so everything feels familiar and stress-free for them.
“An amazing person and caregiver of our four legged furry family. Sensitive to theirs and our needs and gave us a ton of comfort while on vacation. Would absolutely recommend to any and everyone. 10/5 stars”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She took amazing care of our dog and sending us daily pictures and updates. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone mindful and experienced in regards to medical precautions and how to navigate mildly aggressive behavior.”

About: Hi! I'm Debbie, and caring for animals has been my passion for most of my life. I began volunteering at a veterinary hospital as a teenager and was hired at just 16 years old. I pursued veterinary technology, passed the California Registered Veterinary Technician state board examination in 2011, and have spent nearly two decades working in small animal veterinary medicine. While I no longer maintain an active RVT license, I continue working in the veterinary field and use the knowledge and experience I've gained over the years every day. My background includes caring for puppies and kittens, healthy adult pets, senior pets, and animals with chronic medical conditions. I'm experienced with administering oral medications, eye and ear medications, injections, sub-q fluids, topical treatments, and providing attentive care to pets that need a little extra support. Animals have always been a huge part of my life beyond my career. I'm a proud Mom, wife, dog owner and chicken keeper, and I also have experience caring for parrots and other companion birds. I enjoy grooming my own dogs and have experience with routine grooming, including bathing, brushing, nail trims, and styling. In addition to companion animals, I'm comfortable caring for backyard flocks and many ranch and farm animals, understanding that each species has its own unique routines and needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your animals are safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I strive to keep pets comfortable, maintain their routines, and provide plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry (and feathered!) family members are in caring, experienced hands. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, medication, companionship, or care for your backyard flock or small farm, I'd be honored to care for them as if they were my own. Between being a Mom to older children/wife/part-time vet tech, my schedule allows me to fit in jobs to care for other's pets while they are going out of town for the day or longer. I will honor and follow your instructions to care for your pets as you wish. I also am big on sending pics via text with pupdates and for you to see that all is well.

“Kylie did a great job taking care of my 2 cats. Sweet, punctual, responsive and overall easy to communicate/work with. I will not hesitate to reach out to her again when I need someone to care for my orange boys.”
“Jennifer did an amazing job and made us feel very comfortable, She updated us on the whole process and sent us pictures of our little guy. Will definitely be using her again when needed!”

“We left Oelun in charge of our kitties while we were out of town for a week and she did a stellar job! Great communication, friendly and easygoing, punctual, responsible and organized. And I got the sense that our cats were happy with the service, too. Thanks Oelun!”
“Parnian was absolutely amazing with Leyli! From the second Leyli saw her, she immediately loved her and felt comfortable around her, which made me feel so much better about being away. Parnian took such great care of her and gave her lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, and love. She was very caring, responsible, and kept me updated with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. It was clear that Leyli was happy and comfortable with her the entire time. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with Leyli, and I would absolutely book with Parnian again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy cat sitter! ❤️🐱”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a genuine love for caring for them. I grew up with dogs and have had the privilege of caring for a Rottweiler and two Lab mixes, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also have extensive hands-on experience with cats, including my own 11-year-old cat who is very shy, extremely finicky, requires medicated food, and has undergone surgery. Caring for her has taught me to be patient, observant, and attentive to the individual needs and routines of each pet. When I first meet a cat, I let them set the pace and never force interaction. I’m calm and patient, giving shy pets the space they need while building trust through gentle attention, play, and treats. I bring that same attentive approach to dogs, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m also a licensed Realtor, so I’m accustomed to being trusted inside clients’ homes, handling keys, securing properties, and hosting open houses while pets are present. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekends. I’m available Saturdays and Sundays, making me someone you can depend on for reliable, loving care when you’re out of town or away for the weekend. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. For dogs, I’ll provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention. For cats, I’ll provide meals, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, medications, and any special dietary needs. I’m patient with every pet’s individual personality and needs, and I’ll treat your home with the same respect I give my own. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and receiving loving care.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - El Toro
Chen was super friendly and took great care of my cats! She carefully followed all my instructions, especially keeping an eye out for any vomiting and checking on my cats' condition. She made sure they were fed properly, cleaned their litter boxes, spent time playing with them, and even took out the trash before leaving. Really appreciate her help and would definitely recommend her!
This was our second time using Hailey after her stellar service with a house sit! Hailey stopped by for a drop for my girls and found my dog had decided to tear apart a bag of Halloween decorations. Hailey informed me of the situation and went above and beyond to take care of the mess while making sure my girls were calm, loved, and less anxious before she left. When we got home, our girls were happy and content thanks to Hailey!
I had a great experience with Parnian! She was communicative, detailed, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. I really appreciated the regular updates and the care she took to make sure Kara was happy and comfortable. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Parnian!
Dawn is the best! Even when I was having communication issues with another sitter, she offered to come drop in if needed, which was seriously so sweet. Would 10 out of 10 recommend her for droppings or long-term stays! By far the best sitter we have had since moving to the area. Love this pictures of our pup too!
Bradey is a wonderful person. She cares for our Bob and Sprout like they are her own. She is considerate, trustworthy and very attentive. I appreciate her and all that she continues to do for us. I booked her last minute because I had to be at work and she happily accepted. She arrived at our home, walked our pups and stayed with them for the entire time. Thanks Bradey!
Oelun was “purr-fect” 😻, she took wonderful care of my cat, Jasper, over the past week. She was extremely diligent, dependable, and attentive to his needs. It was clear that Jasper felt happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Thank you Oelun 👏👏
This was our second time booking with Hannah and as always, she was absolutely amazing!! One of our cats is special needs, so he takes some extra care and understanding and Hannah was wonderful with him as always. She’s always professional, on time, follows all directions perfectly, communicates wonderfully with detailed updates and pictures, and is overall just amazing with our two cats who I imagine aren’t the easiest. We adore Hannah and are grateful for her care!
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!
Annie is amazing! It was my first time having her take care of my cats and I highly recommend. My cats are shy and don’t meet very many strangers. They warmed up to Annie right away. She sent me very detailed notes on her visits and lots of cute pictures. I came home to happy and relaxed kitties who had been very well cared for 😊
Maggie was a last minute find for originally a two day but accommodated for a three day instead. Very flexible and does very well with our frenchie and cavapoo. Special needs dogs and I was not worried at all when Maggie was there to see the pups, feed and even apply medicines (topical and injection!) We found an amazing one.
David is a patient, kind, and lovely human. He has been working with our protective and reactive dog, Momo, for a few months, and after being rejected by more than one doggy hotel and more than one dog sitter, we are so so happy to see Momo’s progress with David. Momo had her first successful, stress-free weekend by herself with David dropping in and taking her on walks. We are so thrilled and thankful to David for staying patient with Momo’s sass-itude and having his help has improved Momo’s life and our lives significantly! 🩷
Michelle is wonderful with our puppy Tobie and has been a great help to us on the day we both work and can't be home with him. She has been caring for him since he was 2 months old. He is now 6 months and we are looking forward to many more with Michelle! I highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
