About: Hey Hey! I’m Kayla <3, a mommy-to-be with a huge heart for animals and a genuine love for caring for pets of all kinds! I’m an energetic, dependable, and loving pet caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have two sweet cats of my own! a 5-year-old cat and a 1-year-old Russian Blue — and I previously raised a Yorkie for 12 years and a Pit Bull mix for 6 years. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. From long walks and endless playtime to cuddle sessions, upset tummies, treat begging, and everything in between, I’ve experienced it all. My goal is to make sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether they need a walking buddy, a playmate, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I always treat every animal as if they were my own. I would absolutely love the opportunity to care for your fur baby! Caring for your pet will be top priority! I am currently a mom of a 4 year old, who has full availability during the day time to tend to your fur-babies and even after hours we both are pet lovers! I will make sure I ask and be considerate of whatever safely precautions are needed to make sure your fur babies are safe and comfortable

“Priscilla was great with my dog! She was communicative and sent pictures during the visit. My dog loved her form the second she walked in the door! Priscilla also was understanding of my dog being a senior pup and having diabetes. Although she did not have to administer insulin during her drop in, she was very accepting that my dog was on a specific diet. I would absolutely recommend Priscilla to anyone!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, birds, and fish while people were on vacation. I also did checkup visit to one of my girlfriends cat. I went coule of times to check if she had water and food and was okay. The other time I played with her a little took a toy and gave her a treat. Currently unemployed and can fit into schedule easily to visit or babysit your pet. I own cats but this summer I did daily check-ins multiple times a day to someone who had plenty of pets. I checked, fed, provided water, and cleaned. Also one of the dogs had an ear infection and I gave drops daily as owner provided instructions. I have a fence yard. I have 2 indoor who are my babies now that my kids are trens. I also live less than a block away from a park.

About: I’m new in Rover! But trust me, I will do my best! 😆 I’ve always loved both cats and dogs, and spending time with animals genuinely brings me joy! I believe pets are family members and deserve to be treated with love, patience, and responsibility. I have over 1.5 years of hand-on experience caring for cats, including looking after my friends’s Bengal cat and adopting my own cat about a year ago. I also have experience with dogs through helping friends with walking and feeding. I believe every pet has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know their habits, preferences, and needs. Whether they’re playful and energetic or shy and reserved, I adapt my approach to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Beyond basic care, I enjoy keeping pets active and mentally engaged. I even take my own cat on walks! :) As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously by following your instructions carefully, paying attention to details, and providing photos and updates during visits. My goal is simple: to make every pet feel happy, understood, and well cared for while giving their owners peace of mind. I work remotely from home and have the flexibility to arrange my own schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine! Whether your furry friend needs a morning check-in, a middle playtime break, or an evening visit, I’m happy to work around their usual routine and your needs. I love spending time with animals, so pet visits are something I genuinely look forward to, not just another task on my calendar. I believe pets feel happiest and safest in their familiar environment! I will respect your home and follow your pet’s usual routines, care instructions, and personal boundaries. From feeding and fresh water to playtime, potty breaks, and litter box cleaning, I will make sure your furry friend is comfortable and well cared for. I’m also attentive to safety, including securing doors, keeping their space clean, and watching for any unusual behavior. You’ll receive photos and updates during visits, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands!

About: I have been a huge dog lover ever since I can remember. As a 7 year old little girl I used to run downstairs to play, pet and show love to any dog I heard barking outside. When I got to High School I finally convinced my parents to allow me to bring a puppy home (German Shepard) and I completely dedicated my entire life to my dog, Kyser. My journey started with Kyser, who was my loyal companion for 16 unforgettable years until it was time to let him rest. My life literally revolved around Kyser despite the fact that I was only in high school. My social life came to a halt and anywhere I went, Kyser was by my side. I was so heartbroken when it was time to allow him to rest that my sister immediately got me my current dog, Duke, and as you can imagine, my life currently revolves around my baby, Dukey. Prime examples of my life revolving around my dog are, I literally only bought a house just so that I can provide my dog a safe and consistent space to reside in and remain in a safe, healthy and consistent environment at all times. Then I proceeded to purchase an SUV where my dog/dogs can travel with me comfortably on all road trips. The only time I leave my house now is to work because my only desire is to spent quality time with my dog either at home or at the park because my dog/s are what bring me the most peace in this life. My passion for dogs led me to work as a veterinary technician at an animal hospital for 5 years, where I had the privilege of caring for animals and learning even more about them. A few things set me apart from other sitters. With 5 years as a veterinary technician, I have hands-on experience with pet health, administering medications, handling emergencies, and recognizing signs of illness. This background is especially helpful for senior pets or those with medical needs. Another thing that sets me apart from other sitters are my training skills. I can reinforce basic commands, work on house-training, and use positive reinforcement techniques to support good behavior. Personalized care : I understand that every pet is unique. I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks to provide customized care that keeps them comfortable and happy. Experience with All Ages : from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a slower pace, I have the patience and adaptability to cater to pets at every life stage. My experience with Kyser and Duke have given me personal insight into caring for aging dogs, which can be an emotional and delicate process. Communication and Trust : I believe in keeping pet owners in the loop with regular updates, photos, and videos, so they feel confident and at ease while away. Passion and Peace : Dogs are not just animals to me - they are family to me. Caring for them isn't a job but a joy, and I treat every pet with the same love and attention I gave to Duke. Duke was my entire world but unfortunately had to let him rest in peace with some dignity as well just a couple of months ago. Now, nothing would give me more pleasure than to show your pup nothing but LOTS OF LOVE and a great day full of activities and fun. I currently am a Physical Education and Health Teacher therefore I am available during the week after 2:30pm. I am available all weekend at any time of the day or night. However, considering I only work 5 minutes from home I will be able to incorporate these daily and weekly routines as I have a lot of preps, lunch and downtime as a teacher. DAILY ROUTINE: Morning - Start the day with feeding, a walk (playtime), and any necessary medications. Midday - During my prep/lunch (2 hours) - I will provide bathroom breaks, a short walk or a play session in the yard. Afternoon/Evening - Another feeding, longer walk and more engaged playtime in the yard, followed by some winding-down time. Night - I will ensure pets are settled, comfortable, and safe for a good night's sleep. WEEKLY ROUTINE: Exercise Variety - I will include new games, toys, or walking routes t keep things fresh. Grooming Needs - I will brush their coat, clean their ears, or handle any specific grooming requirements. Training & Enrichment - I will dedicate time to reinforce good behavior or introduce new challenges. IN MY HOME : I have a fenced in yard and front lawn to keep your fur baby safe at all times. I will keep them active and engaged in the yard as we play catch and enjoy the fun in the sun. Preparation - I will Pet-proof the space, remove hazards, and set up a comfortable area with bedding, toys and water. Routine - I will stick to their feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules to reduce stress. Supervision - I will keep an eye on them, especially during the first few days as they adjust. Safe Spaces - I will provide quiet spots for rest, especially for pets who may feel overwhelmed. Enrichment - I will engage in play, training, and mental stimulation tailored to their needs. IN THE CLIENT'S HOME: Respect Their Space - I will follow the pet's usual routine closely and maintain house rules. Familiar Comforts - I will use the pet's own bedding, toys and food to minimize changes. Security - I will ensure the home is secure and always follow the client's guidelines for locking doors and setting alarms. Communication - I will send updates, photos or videos to the pet owner for peace of mind. Cleanliness - I will keep the space tidy, clean up after the pet and leave home as I found it. I will provide water inside the house and in the yard during play time. We will have time to cuddle and bond while we recuperate for our next activity in the yard.

About: Hi there! 😊 My name is Anahi and I have been a dedicated pet sitter for the past nine years. It all started when I got my first dog at the age of five 💕🐶 Growing up alongside my furry companion, I developed a deep love and understanding for animals, which eventually led me to become a trusted pet sitter in my community. At the age of 14, I took on the responsibility of caring for not only dogs but also cats, extending my services to family friends and neighbors. Whether it's walking them or giving them a refreshing bath, I take pride in ensuring that each and every pet under my care receives the love, attention, and proper care they deserve. Over the years, I have built strong bonds with the animals I look after, establishing a sense of trust and companionship that makes their time away from their owners as comfortable as possible. With my experience and passion for animals, I strive to create a safe and enjoyable environment for them, making their well-being my top priority. If you are looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter, I would be more than happy to extend my services to your furry friends. Feel free to reach out to me, and together, we can ensure that your pets receive the love and care they deserve while you are away!!!! I have the perfect combination of having a part-time job and a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate ample time to playing and caring for your pet. With my part-time job, I have a great deal of availability on weekdays and can easily accommodate your pet's needs. Whether it's providing companionship, taking them for walks, or even assisting with baths, I am committed to ensuring your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Having a lot of free time gives me the opportunity to create a schedule that aligns perfectly with your pet's routine. When you choose me as your pet sitter, I will come to your home to provide the care and attention your pet deserves. This arrangement offers several benefits, as your pet can remain in their familiar surroundings, surrounded by their own toys, bed, and comforting scents. This helps to minimize any potential stress or anxiety that can occur when pets are taken out of their usual environment. During my pet sitting visits, I will ensure that your pet's daily routine is maintained as closely as possible.

“Jiajia did an exceptional job taking care of my girl while I was out of town for the weekend! I had the pleasure of watching her cats through Rover over the summer and after seeing the stellar care she gives her own cats, I was so excited she was available to watch my cat, Toulouse, too! Toulouse, can be very wary of new people but took to Jiajia right away at the meet and greet. She was very organized, asked great questions and took the time to become familiar with Toulouse’s routine. She sent amazing videos, pictures and updates that made being away so much easier for me. It is clear Toulouse has a new friend and had a very lovely time playing, getting snuggles and eating fresh catnip from Jiajia’s garden. She has my highest recommendation!”

10/10! Absolutely amazing experience! She was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond, even helping me with things that had nothing to do with taking care of Dusty, and she did so without any hesitation. It was also clear that Dusty really liked her! She sent me adorable pictures of Dusty approaching her and showing affection, which gave me so much peace of mind. She consistently provided photo updates and detailed descriptions of how Dusty was doing. She is incredibly kind, caring, attentive, and always quick to respond to any questions. I genuinely couldn't have asked for a better experience. 10/10, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet!

Cristian and Anderson have been great! We recently moved nearby, and our dog can be reactive with anyone she doesn't know (a rescue dog), and she takes some meet and greets to get comfortable with new folks. Both Cristian and Anderson made time to meet with us, and after another greeting, our dog became very excited and happy to see them! Since then, they have helped us with taking Nyla out for walks when we are at work. They are prompt, send pictures of their walk, and provide a report card of how the walk went. They have been reliable and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend them, and we will definitely continue booking them!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.

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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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 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.
