“Samantha was very professional and thoughtful throughout the entire process. She responded promptly to the booking request and was highly communicative as we set up the meet and greet as well as the drop in visits. Samantha took excellent care of the kitties, who were happy and relaxed around her. We are so glad we connected with Samantha!”
“Sarah did such a great job taking care of my cat. She was super communicative and provided detailed updates with photos. My cat was very comfortable interacting with her during their visits. Definitely will be booking with Sarah again!”
“Sofia took wonderful care of our dog, August, while we were away for three days. She was responsible, punctual, and amazing with our anxious pup, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated and was always quick to respond. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We can’t wait to book with Sofia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
About: I've taken care of animals old and young, playful and shy, and they all get the same amount of love and attention. No paw left behind. I work part time at a restaurant. I had been walking dogs the past couple years, as well as taking care of my own cat. Whither it be morning or afternoon, I always make quality time for your pets. Depending on the care needed. I spend time playing, cleaning up after animals, walks depending on how long you choose and any other activities or duties is needed, all done with care and a calm positive attitude toward the animals.
About: I love pets don’t have any right now but had family pet for almost 15 years! Will care for your pet as our own! I will take care pet with love and care as if was my own! I’m at home a lot during day so able to pet sit and walk your pet thru out the day wouldn’t be alone that much. Your pet would receive lots of attention and love. I have a fenced patio and pet friendly neighborhood. I would take serious care of your pet following any instructions or routine you and your pet have.
About: I have grown up with dogs and other animals throughout my life so I am very comfortable with animals. Many of the dogs I have known are rescue dogs so I always accommodate to their needs in order for them to feel comfortable. Over the years I have taken care of friends and family members dogs when they have been away. Making sure all their needs are met and they are happy is my goal. I strive to provide every dog attention and love because every dog is good as long as they are loved and cared for. I work part-time at Dollar Tree and attend Orange Coast College with a couple classes during the week. I am usually free in the mornings all week unless I am working. The afternoons and evenings can be hit or miss since my work schedule isn’t fixed. I always make sure that nothing in a dog’s vicinity can harm them whether it’s an environmental cause or another animal. I currently have two cats and always make sure their litter box is cleaned daily as well as feeding them. Ensuring that all their needs are met is my priority, because if they’re happy, everyone’s happy.
“Amy was awesome! She is very courteous and friendly with my dogs. She asked about instructions on caring for each of my pups for drop in visits. She was flexible in scheduling and modifying requests. My pups were very comfortabe with Amy. Thank you for being caring and loving to my fur babies!”
About: I've had cats and dogs (and others) my whole life. I recently moved to SoCal to be with my fiancé who is allergic to cats. I'm using this as a method of getting some kitty love since I can't have my own personally. Highly motivated to give pets and cuddles. Successful at changing litter boxes. After 5pm and on the weekends is when I'm free, which is perfect for those going on trips who need someone to check in on their pet! I had an escape artist cat, a skittish cat, and evil cat who hunted me for sport (long story) and still cared for them all expertly and with love. A cat can't surprise me at this point. Also I'm a pharmacist, so I'll make sure they don't get into anything they shouldn't and have an innate need to care for living things <3
“Nadine and her husband were so amazing with our special needs pups! They did drop in visits for us for 5 days while we were on vacation. They were on time, responsive and followed our instructions perfectly. They were also willing to help us out when we were in a tough spot when our flight got canceled on the way home. They gave us such peace of mind and provided the cutest pictures! Highly recommend!”
“Heather is an excellent pet sitter and gives your fur babies the best care. I highly recommend her. I can’t say enough nice things about her. She has excellent communication while you are away too. You are in good hands with her!”
“Geneva has been amazing! My cats love her and even the one that's little skeptical of people. She has helped us out with our pets a few times and I recommend Geneva. You're pets will be in good hands”
“Ashley is amazing! Our family and puppy love her. she always takes such good care of our fur baby and even brings in the mail for us. She’s our regular go to for pet sitting. Thank you so much”
About: Animals have always been my passion. I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats through pet sitting, fostering, and animal rescue. I’ve worked with puppies, kittens, seniors, shy pets, and animals with special medical needs, so I’m comfortable following medication schedules and providing extra care when needed. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm, dependable companion, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My background in animal rescue has taught me patience, reliability, and how to recognize when something isn’t quite right with a pet. Communication is important to me, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, or medication, I’ll work with you to make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’m available for weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays with advance notice. My home has a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. I also share my home with one friendly dog, cats, and chickens, so animals are truly a way of life for me. With a background in animal rescue, I’m experienced caring for pets of all ages, including seniors, puppies and kittens, and pets with special needs or medical conditions. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine and personality. Safety, patience, and compassionate care are always my priorities, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
“Thank you so much for taking care of Lola again for me! I loved all the photos and updates and it’s clear she loves spending time with you - it’s almost like a little vacation for her when I’m away! Appreciate you as always! Thanks for being the best and leaving me assured that Lola is in the best care :)”
About: Hi, my name is Jenifer! I'm 32 love going to the gym, reading, crafting, and sketching. Energetic dogs will find that I'm able to keep up with their energy, while less energetic pets will find that I'm an excellent cuddler! Growing up in Mexico, I was always surrounded by all sorts of animals. We always had 1-2 dogs at home at a time (plus the neighborhood dogs) that I would help care for and play with! You would often see me going about my day with a trail of dogs following behind me! Here in the U.S., I spent a lot of time with family members who owned 2+ dogs at a time that I helped feed, bathe, train, and of course, play with them! Currently, I live with two adorable labs (a 8-year-old Dudley and a 7-year-old Chocolate lab) that I've helped raise since pups and care for when their parents go on vacation. During vacation, my husband and I will take charge of everything from diet, exercise, mental enrichment, and, if needed, any medical emergencies that may occur. I've been around dogs considered to be territorial and even aggressive and have helped to mediate tense situations with these dogs at family events. I also have experience with handling leash-reactive dogs up to 90 lbs. All of this has granted me the experience of handling dogs of all ages, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. I've never met a dog I couldn't befriend in the end. Given enough respect, love, and time to get to know you, even the most shy, skittish, and/or anxious dog can come to see you as a friend! I hold this same philosophy towards cats and other animals as well: respect, love, and kindness are the key to any animal-human friendship. (: I also have experience owning and pet-sitting cats and rodents! Of course, no one knows your fur-family as well as you, so following your instructions related to the care of your precious fur-family member is my utmost priority! I will gladly take all necessary steps to ensure that you have peace of mind when leaving them in my care! I'm a stay-at home mom, so my availability is flexible on both weekdays and weekends. Due to caring for my toddler, I'm not available to house-sit overnight, but I'm available to stay all day if you're comfortable with a toddler accompanying me (he will mainly play on the floor with his trucks or throw the ball for a pup if they like playing fetch). Depending on comfortability, I can arrange childcare with family to watch my son, but he would also love to join us on a walk. My son was raised around dogs and knows proper dog etiquette, and LOVES to join our household pups on walks. Your pup's safety and trust is my priority, therefore I make sure to double and triple check all openings and snap a picture of your bestie right before I leave.
About: I've grown up with a variety of pets - from dogs, birds, rats, mice and fishes! Along with being surrounded by animals as a child, I lived with my older sister for 3 years and helped to take care of her 3 medium sized dogs. Plus, I watch my friend's dog when they travel for leisure or for work. I helped train my younger sister's dog when it was a little puppy, and I have experience watching cats as well! I work from home, which means the pets I care for are never alone and I am extremely attentive to their needs. I am a very active person, so your pets will get a lot of exercise if needed! Another plus is, I live next to a dog park! I can take them out to play or on daily runs with me (: Since I work remotely, I can squeeze in play time throughout the day. I will ensure that all pets needs are met, from dietary restrictions to nightly teeth brushing! Just let me know what is needed, and I will deliver above and beyond the bare minimum.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fountain Valley
We had an amazing experience with Gloria! She did such a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She was incredibly responsible, attentive, caring, and reliable, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cats were in such good hands. She followed all of our instructions carefully, kept us updated, and sent us pictures, which we really appreciated while we were away. Most importantly, our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave them. I would absolutely trust her with our cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and genuinely caring pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our babies! ❤️🐱🐱
This was our first time working with Amanda, and we are so happy we found her! Amanda arranged a Meet and Greet right away and she quickly hit it off with Simon and CK, who responded quickly to her warm and kind presence. Blondie, our shy kitty came out from hiding during Amanda's first drop in, and it's been smooth sailing (and lots of Churus) ever since for all three kitties. We loved getting the daily photos of the kitties being spoiled by their new friend, and it's been wonderful to come home to happy, well-fed, and relaxed fur babies. Thank you, Amanda, for your great communication and attention to details, and we look forward to your next series of visits!
Tracy is an amazing sitter for both our two cats - a super friendly, energetic guy and a shy but curious girl. She’s patient and attentive and they loved her which gave us so much comfort while away. She followed all the instructions we left and we were so happy to find her!
Lily was amazing! She was super responsive, easy to communicate with, and kept us updated throughout our trip. The photos she sent were SO good and genuinely made us feel better being away from our cats. Everything was well taken care of, and it was clear our cats were comfortable with her. Reliable, communicative, and thoughtful. We would absolutely book her again!
Andrea went above and beyond for our two kitties. This was our first time leaving them for a longer period of time and Andrea communicated everything clearly and made us feel at ease with the updates and photos. I highly suggest her. She also got my cat who is afraid of everyone and everything to come out and play! She is truly a cat whisperer:)
Samantha was very professional and thoughtful throughout the entire process. She responded promptly to the booking request and was highly communicative as we set up the meet and greet as well as the drop in visits. Samantha took excellent care of the kitties, who were happy and relaxed around her. We are so glad we connected with Samantha!
Amy went above and beyond for my senior cat. I reached out to her just hours before I had to leave for a last minute trip and she responded immediately. Throughout her care I received tons of pictures and videos. He was so happy and well cared for on my return. Such a great sitter and clearly cares about the pets she takes care of.
Heather checked in on my kitties over my 4 day vacation and I could not be happier with how she took care of them. She was great with communication throughout and shared great photos/overview of each visit. Her experience with animals definitely shows in her interactions with pets and I feel truly at ease knowing my kitties are in great hands with her. :)

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.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
