“Victoria was super attentive and a great communicator. We just needed a quick drop in for our cat this time, but we would definitely love to have Victoria take care of Johnny again!”
“Katie is a wonderful find. She came to our home first to meet the guy, see the house, put up with my stories of his fabulousness. Then her evening and morning 1-hour visits were 1) absolutely on time as agreed, 2) featured many photos of his various activities, 3) the completed checklist of meals, litter box, etc. and 4) great info on his behavior, especially since this was the first time she cat-sat. That he hissed at her on first visit, was chill and lovey on his second (sounds like him). Katie has made it her business to know as much as she can about cat behavior (she is a cat owner), such as why female cats may like their rumps rubbed while my male cat might not. She is also just a lovely, attentive, curious person. So glad she's in the neighborhood.”
“This was the first time hiring a service to care for our cat. Ron was outstanding. He was able to adjust his schedule to accommodate caring for our cat “Kuma” while we are out of the country. His easy going and caring personality is very evident. We enjoyed his daily reports and photos and felt very at ease that he was caring for Kuma. We highly recommend him and the Rover service to care for your pet while you are away. Ron will be our first choice in caring for Kuma in the future. Thank you , thank you , thank you.”

I've been caring for dogs ever since I was 16, all my dogs are rescues and have needed all kinds of special care and love! I'm familiar with reactivity and larger dogs, or smaller breeds and puppies. a little extra attention and time goes a long way. I'm happy to go on hikes and walks or stay in and cuddle. Feel free to ask me any questions and happy to provide my experience! Im a part time college student in kentfeild and I work at a café part time. Im looking for roles I can pick up on my off time. Weekends are easy bookings and I'm happy to talk about moving my schedule around for weekdays. Mornings and evenings are my typical availability during the week. If you have special scheduling requests please contact me a week out so we can find something that works! I'm not opposed to last minute bookings, no harm in asking! I always like to be clear about what a pet needs and what their boundaries are. Im unfamiliar with giving medicine through needles, and I don't have professional training for training dogs/reactivity. What I do have is experience with my pets, my friends pets, and a lot of compassion and patience. If your dog needs medicine, is reactive, or has certain triggers, please be up front with this information so I can provide the best service! In my house, my pets have a schedule for food and activity so they have a basic structure. Feel free to share about their personality, quirks, or any sensitivities. Communication is key!
About: Hi, I’m Rita! I grew up living with and caring for cats and dogs at home and have experience cat sitting for friends and relatives and dog walking with Wag! . I currently do not have any animals but my house is set up to accommodate a cat (available litter box, food/water bowls, cat toys & tower). I am patient, empathetic, and genuinely love animals! I am currently working part-time doing childcare on Wednesdays. Otherwise, my schedule is very flexible. I am available for on-call walks, reoccurring walks, and pet sitting. I have experience cat sitting and dog sitting. I am of course very respectful of my clients' homes and follow instructions carefully, making sure to be present and attentive to the pet I am looking after. I am also happy to perform various house-sitting duties such as collecting mail, taking out garbage bins, etc.
“Mallorie took amazing care of our two cats with drop in visits while we were gone for two weeks. They loved her, and she loved them. Her updates were super helpful and full of pictures, which my family appreciated. Mallorie was very respectful of our home and very responsive. Would definitely have her take care of our cats again.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Alex and how well he took care of our two cats while we were away for a week. He was so on top of everything, sent detailed updates and photos with every check-in and it was just so nice to be able to enjoy our vacation without worrying if our cats were in good hands. I would HIGHLY recommend him and will definitely be using him again in the future!”
About: I have hands-on experience with puppies who need routine, positive reinforcement, and plenty of play, as well as senior pets who benefit from slower walks and extra attentiveness. I’m comfortable with administering medication, sticking to detailed routines, and making sure pets feel safe in their own space. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in each pet’s well-being. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I’m flexible and dependable, able to provide regular visits, walks, or overnight care as needed. My schedule allows me to dedicate focused time to each pet, whether it’s for feeding, administering medication, cleaning litter boxes, or simply giving attention and companionship. I prioritize consistency so pets feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet while caring for them in their own home. I follow all instructions closely, keep their space clean, and monitor pets for any signs of stress or health changes. I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and ensure pets feel secure and comfortable throughout my visits. My calm, attentive approach builds trust with both pets and their owners, so you can feel confident your furry family members are in caring, responsible hands.
About: A mature adult of 59 years. I offer overnight house sitting with full property care. Your home stays secure with daily checks, mail and packages handled, plants watered, and any maintenance needs spotted early thanks to my twenty years in the trades. Clean background, million-dollar insurance, bonded. Flexible and professional. One hundred fifty dollars per night. Available for in home stays, or multiple home visits during your absence. What to expect When you book overnight house sitting, I stay in your Santa Rosa home so it stays occupied, secure, and running as usual. Pets keep their normal routine. The house gets daily attention. A typical overnight sit includes presence in the home, morning and evening property checks, feeding and fresh water if you have pets, mail and package handling, plant care, trash and recycling on pickup days, lights and locks as you specify, and a quick look for leaks, odd noises, or anything that needs a heads-up. I send photo or text updates so you know things are on track. If you do not need someone staying overnight, regular house checks can be scheduled instead. I stop by on a set cadence, walk the property, handle mail and packages, water plants, confirm locks and systems, and flag anything that looks off. I bring twenty years in the trades plus security and property-management experience, so I notice small issues early. I carry one million dollars in insurance and I am bonded. Clean federal background check. House-check visits can be scheduled separately. We start with a Meet and Greet. You walk me through the house, pet routine if any, alarm, keys, and any off-limits rooms or cameras. I follow your written list. No guests unless you approve it. House left tidy when you return.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a young girl. One thing that will never get old is the bond you can create. I have worked with senior dogs, second chance animals in shelters, and even new born puppies. I have time and time again helped my friends and family train and look over their dogs. I work as a starbucks barista! My shift are usually short so I have more time for your pets! They are also very good about my availability! My pets at home are my babies. I always give them treats and make sure no matter what time I get home they have enrichment time.
“Oliver was so attentive with my cat. He was promptly communicating whenever necessary and sent me lots of photos. I felt great knowing that Tigger was well taken care of. I highly reccomend!”
About: I grew up in a neighborhood my friends used to call “the farm”. We had 3 dogs, one neighbor had chickens, one neighbor had horses, and another neighbor had goats. Along with various dogs and cats at each house. Because I was the oldest kid in the neighborhood, I was the go-to person anytime a neighbor needed a house sitter or even just needed me to feed their pet dinner since they were out late. When I got older and started driving, I began dog sitting for our large group of friends, taking care of all sizes of dogs, cats, and the occasional reptile. Although I work part-time, I am generally available 7 days a week for house sitting. I am willing to accommodate crazy schedules and last minute plans if need be. I have a small home but a big yard, so while I can’t accommodate boarding, I have a large outdoor space and my own pup that is eager for play dates during the day. As for house sitting, I provide attentive, personalized care in my client’s home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely. With my history in the animal health field, I am comfortable administering any medications if needed. As a person who values communication, I provide regular ‘pupdates’ and pictures so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Emily took such great care of my 2 cats! One of my cats is a bit shy and takes time to warm up to strangers, but immediately was playing and cuddling with Emily. It made me feel so at peace knowing my babies were so safe and well taken care of while I was gone :)”
About: With three decades of hands-on experience, I’ve had the joy and responsibility of caring for a wide range of animals and homes. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing medication, multi-pet households to quiet countryside retreats, I’ve built a reputation for being dependable, detail-oriented, and deeply caring. Over the years, I’ve cared for: • Dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels • Cats with a wide range of personalities and needs • Rabbits, turtles, fish, and other small animals • Homes big and small—always kept clean, secure, and well-tended What sets me apart is my consistency and calm presence. I show up on time, follow routines as requested, and keep in regular communication while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medication, watering plants, bringing in the mail, or offering your pets lots of playtime and affection, I approach each sit with the same level of care and respect I would want for my own home and animals. Over the years, many of my clients have become repeat families and even friends—because they know they can trust me to show up with integrity, kindness, and competence every single time. I am a yoga facilitator and artist focused on intentional living. I love nature wanders and being present with all creatures I get to encounter. I follow each animal’s schedule—morning walks, feeding, medication, play, and check-ins—while keeping the home clean and calm. I stay observant and responsive, making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way. In your home or mine, I follow each pet’s routine with care—feeding, walks, meds, play, and rest. I create a calm, safe space and stay attentive to their needs, keeping them happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.
About: Since I was a child I have taken care of the family dog. They are like family to me. I have worked at a dog spa since May of 2025 so that I have experience on handling dogs. I can bathe your dogs and brush them but not groom them. I love animals like family. I also take care of my sister’s golden retriever when she’s away on trips. I work Tuesdays-Saturdays from 10am-6:15pm so on my work days I can house sit your pets, take them for walks and take care of them after work and my days off I’m available anytime. I have a cat at home who is spoiled. Every day she gets groomed, loved and cuddled with. She couldn’t be more happier. I even have a filtered water fountain for my car to drink out of I clean every two weeks. I enjoy cleaning her food bowl every morning and give her dental treats to make her gums and teeth healthy. When it comes to clients pets I’d do the same as if they were my own pet very loved and spoiled. When I had my family dog she was very loved and spoiled as well. Every day do walk her, brush her, feed her and cuddle with her making the happiest dog she can be. All animals I treat equally.

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. 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.
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 .

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 , 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.
