“Our first time using this application/service for our furr babies. I picked Kendra and asked her if she could come over so we could meet each other and she could maybe meet our furr babies. After a quick tour and us chatting, 2 of our kitties that normally hide when “strangers” are in the home came out to investigate who she was. Our dog Penelope is a people person doggie and pretty much likes everyone. Our one cat Johnni is the most curious and will want to be seen and maybe be petted. We only needed our dog fed and potty break as the cats are on auto feeders. And after having met Kendra I was very comfortable that our animals would be well cared for and I booked her for a drop in. I left her a note for feeding Penelope and where she potties. Kendra kept me in the loop with texts and pictures of the animals. Everyone got their glamour shots but 1 kitty (she was an outdoor kitty and is weary of people until she comfortable with them). We are beyond happy with Kendra’s care of our animals, our home and will definitely be using her services again. Thank you Kendra for making me feel comfortable and knowing our furr babies would be well cared for even for a drop in. We’ll be booking again soon with you!”

“Morgan was so wonderful! Needed a mid day drop-in for my senior dog. Reached out with only a day or so notice (my fault) and Morgan was able to help no problem! Always nice to have a sitter in the area you can count on and trust, Morgan is definitely on my list ᵕ̈”

“Dawna was AWESOME! Her concern for my boys and their welfare gave me tremendous peace of mind! They gave her a run for her money but she was patient and persistent and they eventually behaved themselves! I highly highly recommend her and will absolutely be using her again in the future!”

“Maria was great with our Golden Retriever Penny! She did drop ins for us and was very intuitive with Penny's needs and accommodating of our requests. Maria was patient even with Penny’s intense greeting energy and took her on walks and gave her some needed affection while we were gone. Maria is professional and caring. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Courtney is a wonderful per sitter! She is super thorough with feedback of how the visits go. She is also a great communicator and does well with reading dogs. I have a little one with a big personality who is adjusting to a new routine and environment. I am grateful to Courtney for her assistance in providing structure and comfort to my senior dog during a stressful time!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I don’t think there was a year in my life where I did not have a dog to help take care of! I have taken care of small dogs, medium dogs, and big dogs! We also had a lot of other animals while I was growing up. I’ve taken care of birds, fish, reptiles, and even rabbits. So I am happy to take care of other pets as well if you have them and we can talk prices! Depending on the needs of your pets, I will form my schedule around taking care of them! As of right now this is my main job but as soon as I find another job this will become something I do on the side for a passion hobby. I will always start by asking the owner of the pets to explain their needs and wants before implying anything that I would do on my own. (Customer needs and wants come first) I have fun playing with the animals dogs and cats alike. So if they have favorite toys if I am house sitting then I will let them have fun with that! If I am walking dogs I tend to keep a steady pace so that the dogs get good healthy exercise.
“I went on a work trip to DC for a week and Brandon made having to leave Drax at home so much easier and took a lot of stress out of it. He provided daily updates and did even more than I even expected him to do. I am sure Drax is going to miss the week he spent with Brandon checking on him and keeping him company”

“On a day that she wasn't scheduled we had a schedule change at work that left us searching for someone to take care of our dog Princess. Shawna didn't even hesitate and helped out us for which we are extremely grateful. Shawna is also amazing with our dog and shows love and compassion towards Princess like she was her dog.

About: I have been surrounded by cats since I was a baby. I currently have two cats and would love to take care of yours like it was mine! I was trying to make a cat only profile but I could not find the only option. I'm currently trying to build a playpen out of my garage to board cats only. Each cat will have a big size enclosure and have individual brakes to play and roam around the playpen by himself. I plan to keep them separate from other possible guest cats to avoid any physical confrontation. You can bring your own food, toys and bed. Let me know if you have any questions or if you cat needs any special accommodations. I'll hope to hear from you!

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I could walk. I grew up in a household that never had any less than 4 pets at a time. I’m completely comfortable with all breeds and sizes of dogs. I also currently own a senior, 3 legged pug. I will love your fuzzy friends as much as you do. I have experienced owning and taking care of cats and dogs. I work part time and I’m looking to fill all my free time taking care of your adorable pets. I want to make my schedule as flexible as possible so I have more time to spend taking care of your pets. I currently own 3 cats and 3 dogs(2 pugs and1 German shepherd). One of my pugs is a disabled senior, I’m capable of taking care of animals that require more care and attention. I also help pet sit for my sister with her 2 dogs, a husky and a golden retriever mix. I’m extremely comfortable with low and high energy dogs. I’m also experienced with taking care of cats of all temperaments.

About: Hi! I'm Heather Rae, a dependable, compassionate animal lover based in Vacaville and serving surrounding communities. Animals have always been a grounding part of my life. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and comfort level, and I take the time to earn their trust while giving them the attention they deserve. Whether your pet loves long walks, 🎶 pinã coladas🍍, quiet companionship, playtime, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I'm patient with senior pets, attentive to details like medications and feeding schedules, and happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can travel with peace of mind. I'm an active person who enjoys being outdoors, so energetic dogs get plenty of exercise, while older pets receive gentle, patient care at their own pace. Professionally, I've spent years working in clients' homes as a freelance makeup artist and personal assistant, where reliability, cleanliness, discretion, and respect for people's homes are essential. I bring those same qualities to every house-sitting and pet-care visit. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy pet and a home that's exactly as you left it. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! My schedule is flexible, which allows me to work around your pet's routine rather than the other way around. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening cuddles, or overnight stays, I'm happy to help. I also understand that plans can change, so I'll do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. I know inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big deal. I'll treat both with the same care and respect I would my own. I'll follow your routines closely, keep doors and gates secure, clean up after myself (and your pet!), and make sure your furry family member gets plenty of love, exercise, and attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're happy and in good hands.
“Lori did a great job! We’ve never left our kitties for a long vacation, so we were a bit nervous, as they have some medical issues including shots. Lori took lots of pics, reported details every day, and even watered our tomatoes so we didn’t lose them! Very pleased and the kitties were too!”

About: Hi there! I’m Kiet! A passionate and attentive pet caregiver with experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable while their humans are away. I’m especially skilled with pets who need a little extra care. Both of my cats require a special medical diet, so I’m very comfortable preparing and following precise feeding instructions. I also have experience with anxious animals, my cat Robin is quite shy and sensitive, so I understand the importance of creating a calm and reassuring environment. Whether it’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication, or simply providing companionship, I take the responsibility of pet care seriously. I’ve recently moved back home and currently have open availability! I’m more than happy to take care of your companion for extended period. Thank you! At the moment I am not taking any care from my own home as I share a house with roommates. Thank you for your understanding!

I cannot recommend Jenna highly enough! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving our kitties in her care. Jenna was reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, providing updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. When I returned home, my kitties were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious Jenna truly love animals and treat them as if they were her own. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable to care for your pet, look no further. I am so grateful for the exceptional care Jenna provided and will absolutely be booking with her again!

Ashley was great with our older cat Cleo. I could tell from our meet and greet that Ashley would be good, as Cleo (who doesn’t typically like people) responded well to Ashley right away. Ashley showed up as scheduled every day to spend time with Cleo, sent pictures, and communicated quickly with us. I would definitely recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter!

Haven was great with my very very shy cat, Canelo! Everything went smoothly and she communicated well with me throughout my time away! Though my vacation was cut very short and I had to come home early the quick responses made the unfortunate situation seamless. Will definitely use Haven again in the future!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
