“Without much notice, Brooklyn was able to drop in and tend to my two cats over the Memorial Day weekend. She is flexible, communicates well, follows instructions, and provided lots of pics during her visit. I’d have no problem using her services the next time I need pet care services.”
“Derek and Leslie took great care of my 2 cats while I was away on a trip. They stuck to a predetermined schedule and provided timely updates with photos. I would book them again!”
“Mariah took care of our very timid cats while we were away for seven days. We scheduled her to come only once a day as the cats are very frightened of new people. She followed the written instructions and I was able to communicate with her any potential problems. We would absolutely book her again if we need cat care.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, fish, and even a bunny! I’ve also cared for neighbors’ pets, including both big and small dogs and cats. I’m comfortable following feeding routines, providing playtime and companionship, giving pets plenty of attention, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their families are away. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals! I’m currently a student at Sacramento State and have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, so my availability is more limited during late mornings through early evenings on those days. I also have a baby, so I may need to coordinate visits around his schedule or most likely bring him with me to services with animals who are ok with kiddos. I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and work with each family to find a schedule that works well for everyone! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, follow their owner’s instructions carefully, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, food, and fresh water. I’ll also keep their space clean and provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for!
“Susan remains our "go-to" cat sitter for our cats. Her detailed daily reviews help us keep up with our cat's health issues and well-beling, and our cats are always cool and stress free when we return.”
“Malarie was awesome. She came out of her shell at to get the details about my pets care. I was worried about finding a babysitter for my iguana and how he was going to get his fresh veggies and Malarie save the day! She took great care of my senior cat and my iguana while I was away. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Johnna once again made it possible for us to do a really important trip to care for relatives. We are so grateful to her. We could not do everything we have to do right now without her. We know she will simply always take care of our animals, and we never have to worry.”
About: Hey there! My nickname is actually Maks, and I'm glad to meet you. I have taken care of dogs and cats since around 12 years old. I’ve looked after pets of friends and neighbors, and I feel confident working with dogs of all sizes. I am comfortable with more anxious dogs as I have had one myself. I am also very experienced with cats, I have two at home! I know how hard it can be to leave your little ones even just for the day, especially if they lean on the anxious side, but I hope that I can provide a gentle and loving presence for your babies. Finding reliable pet care can be stressful which is why I value transparency and clear communication. I will provide updates at every visit, and I will do my best to answer any questions you have as soon as possible. Your pet's safety and wellbeing is my main priority. Looking forward to talking with you! I am currently a part-time student working on getting into nursing school. I am completely free Monday, Wednesday, Friday and most weekends. I am flexible when it comes to schedules, and I would love to communicate with owners to set something up more long term. I could do daily walks, and I can do daily drop-in visits as well. I don't have space to house dogs at my house currently because I have two cats at home.
About: I'm an animal enthusiast and will love your pets as my own. They are family and will be cared for as such. A happy healthy pet is my goal. ♡ I work part-time now, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday so now my availability is Thursday through Saturday. I'll consider Sundays on an as needed basis. I'm a walker and I have a Great Pyrenees mix, Riker, who loves to come with me as well. I have a large fenced in backyard. I never leave my pets unattended, they are always underfoot and well cared for. Happy trails, happy tails.
About: I’ve been a proud pet parent and sitter for over 20 years, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats with every personality, and even senior pets who need a little extra love. I treat every pet like my own; whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping routines just right. I’m reliable, attentive, and always happy to send photo updates so you know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job, it’s what I love. 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule! I am pretty much always home, playing with my cat or tending my garden. I go to school online so that can be done from any location with wifi. I have plenty of free time to make sure your fury friends needs are met! I love and appreciate a detailed list of your pets wants and needs so as their routine isn’t disturbed in your absence. My calm yet assertive style coupled with my fun and energetic personality help me to ensure every pet I encounter is not only safe but trusts me enough to let their guard down and play!
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I have two pups of my own and have cared for dogs for friends, family, and Rover clients for years. I have experience with puppies, seniors, energetic dogs, and everything in between. What sets me apart is that I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of dogs and meeting them where they’re at. I understand that not every dog is going to be an easygoing, perfectly trained pup and that’s okay! I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, energetic dogs, strong pullers, reactive dogs, medication needs, crate training, and finicky eaters. I’m patient and willing to take the extra time needed to build trust, especially with shy or nervous dogs. I also work from home, so when my schedule allows, your pup gets plenty of companionship rather than being left alone for most of the day. I provide regular updates and photos because I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy and being well cared for. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality. My goal isn’t just to “watch your dog”, it’s to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾❤️ 🐾 Currently accepting bookings! I currently have open availability to care for your pups’ needs! Walks, belly rubs, playtime, and photo updates are always included. I treat every pet in my care like family and want you to feel confident that they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. My Schedule & Availability I’m a full-time student and full-time remote employee, which means I’m fortunate to spend a lot of time at home with the pets I care for. My weekly schedule: - Tuesday & Thursday: At UC Davis (10am-2pm) - Wednesday: Half-day work from home, home by 2pm - Monday & Friday: Full-time work-from-home - Weekends: Work-from-home My remote schedule allows me to provide plenty of companionship, attention, potty breaks, walks, and check-ins while still maintaining my work and school responsibilities. 🏡 Weekend House Sitting: Because I work remotely on weekends, I do require reliable Wi-Fi access in your home for weekend house-sitting bookings. This allows me to continue working while remaining at home with your pets and providing attentive care throughout the day. 📅 Please message me directly before booking so we can confirm that the requested dates and times work for both of us. I also have clients who book with me outside of Rover, so while I do my best to keep my Rover calendar updated, it may not always reflect my most current availability. I’m always happy to chat about your pets, their routines, and what they need to feel comfortable and loved while you’re away! 🐶🐱❤️ I tailor my care to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I have two friendly dogs of my own who can provide companionship when appropriate, but I’m also happy to keep pets separate if that’s what makes them most comfortable. I’m comfortable caring for finicky eaters, dogs who need extra support on leash, and pets with medication requirements. I’m also happy to follow your preferred feeding, walking, and care routines as closely as possible. I have crates available if your pet is crate trained, prefers a crate for downtime, or is currently working on crate training. My goal is always to create a safe, comfortable environment where your pets can stick to their normal routine and feel at home while you’re away.

“Jenelle was so wonderful taking care of our dog while we were away. She is incredibly kind and very responsible. I had great piece of mind knowing she was their for our dog!”
About: I've taken care of animals from a young age and it has always been a passion of mine! I have mostly cared for my own cats and dogs, but recently have had some experience pet setting for family and friends. I'm an active person and would love to take your pup on long walks.

I am currently working partime, so I am available to care for your pets Tuesday/Wednesday any time, and after 1pm any other day of the week!

About: With over 20 years of pet care experience, I pay close attention to the needs of your pets. I grew up with dogs and cats and learned how to care for them from a very young age. I've seen pets at all ages and stages and observe them closely for any abnormal or concerning behavior. Under my care, your babies are my babies, and they receive only the best quality of care! I'm available 6 days a week: Sunday through Thursday from 8am to 9pm and on Fridays from 8am to 6pm. Just let me know when your baby needs attention and I'll be there!

“5/5 Stars! I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care Hillary and her husband provided to my beloved dog, Taz! From the moment I dropped Taz off, I knew I was leaving him in capable and compassionate hands. Despite a few unexpected mishaps, including Taz's Houdini-like escape into a prepared crate in the house, Hillary and her husband handled the situation with professionalism and calm. They ensured Taz was safe, happy, and fed on time, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. What truly sets Hillary and her husband apart, however, is the genuine love and care they show to the dogs in their charge. It's clear they have a deep passion for animals and take the time to understand each dog's unique personality and needs. I highly recommend Hillary and her husband to anyone seeking top-notch pet care. They are trustworthy, reliable, and truly exceptional in every way. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Taz – I'm forever grateful!”
About: Hi:) Hope you will enjoy my help with your furbabies! In the past, I provided care for my ex-friend’s pets, including walking her dogs to ensure they got plenty of exercise and fresh air, and spending time with her cats while she was away or doing chores that her parents assigned to. I am attentive to pets’ needs, from feeding them on time and keeping their living spaces clean to offering companionship and comfort. My experience has taught me how to handle different pet personalities, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for in their owner's absence. Although I only have been taking care of small dogs and cats, I still determined to learn and get experience of how to take care of larger size dogs, since I want to get a dog in the future. I have plenty time to take care of pets! I'm great at multitasking so I'm more than welcome to help you any time I'm not busy. While I used to be in my ex friend's house, I always made sure that all pups had been gone through to potty breaks as well in the same time took care of cats. It was interesting experience since they all different and sometimes have different needs. But I managed to learn how to feed them differently and how to respect their space and sometimes separate them If some of her cats have been in conflict with each other. Also, when I was home with my friend, I always help her to wash her dogs and sometimes doing all by myself.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fair Oaks
We are working with David to do multiple drop in visits per day for our two dogs and cat while we’re on vacation. He has been awesome to work with and all of our fur babies seem to really be taking to him well. Knowing he will be keeping them safe, fed and providing warm company while we’re away has relieved so much stress so we can enjoy a much needed vacation.
Brooklyn made check-in and feeding visits to our three dogs and one cat for a week while we were traveling. She did a fantastic job with our ultra-shy, rather anxious large dogs. She was reliable and promptly responsive to my questions, so much so, that one evening she returned to our house at 9:00 p.m. at night to check on one of our dogs. We were very happy with her service and will definitely request her help again in the future.
Johnna once again made it possible for us to do a really important trip to care for relatives. We are so grateful to her. We could not do everything we have to do right now without her. We know she will simply always take care of our animals, and we never have to worry.
Jourdan was absolutely amazing! Both of our senior dogs, Winston and Oliver, are declining in health, and one of them became quite sick just before we left for vacation. She went above and beyond to make sure our sick dog ate something, taking the extra time, patience, and care he needed instead of simply rushing through the visit. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about his well-being. She also followed all of our care instructions carefully and kept us updated with detailed messages and photos after each visit, which meant so much to us. Caring for aging dogs with health issues isn't always easy, but it never seemed to be a problem for Jourdan. She treated Winston and Oliver with kindness, compassion, and so much love. We came home to two happy dogs and knew they had been in the best possible hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Jourdan to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and compassionate pet sitter who truly goes above and beyond. We will absolutely trust her with Winston and Oliver again.
Amanda was wonderful with our kitties as usual. Both warmed up to her without any issues (even our very wary cat). Amanda went out of her way to ensure cleanliness and safety, while sending us great photos and videos of our little ones while we were overseas, which we found very comforting. We came back home to very happy kitties and will certainly have Amanda again as our cat sitter!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Caring for a senior dog along with our cat, turtle, bird, and fish is no small task, and she handled it all with incredible attention and care. It was clear from the updates that our pets were not just looked after—they were genuinely happy and comfortable. We especially loved the frequent photos and updates while we were away. They gave us real peace of mind and let us actually enjoy our trip knowing everything at home was in great hands. We came home to calm, well-cared-for pets and a house just as we left it. Truly above and beyond—highly recommend.
We had the pleasure of having Kendra do drop in visits for our cat, who requires multiple medications, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! She went above and beyond in ensuring our cat’s needs were met, was incredibly responsive, and followed all the instructions to a T. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cat was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her 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. 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.

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.
