“Nadine was sweet with both my kitties and took great pictures while I was missing them! She also cleaned the food bowls when I said she could just leave them for me to clean, so I really appreciated that. Easy and reliable!”
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.
“Sofia was an excellent pet sitter. I was traveling for 3 weeks out of the country and Sofia dropped by every other day and took car of my multiple cats. The cats are a handful and one required medication and Sofia did a great job. She fed and watered them as well as cleaned their litter boxes. Three of the cats hide in my sofa and she aways looked in it to make sure the three shy cats were there and ok. She also proved updates and pictures of the various cats which I enjoyed looking at from across the world during my vacation. I would highly recommend Sofia for any of your pet sitting needs.”
“This is the 3rd time we’ve used Ashley and have been happy each time. In addition to sitting with our 2 cats, Ashley pinched in and performed a couple additional tasks that needed attention while we were gone and she performed without issue. We’ll definitely reach out the next time we need assistance.”
“Katie was the perfect person to take care of my brand new puppy, Cody! She offered great tips in getting Cody trained and would always check in with me on what training techniques I was using to ensure Cody was getting consistent messaging. Katie would always send me videos and pics during her visits. It was so great to know that Cody was in great hands while I was at work. She really is fantastic and I will continue to use her. I know Cody would miss her too much!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years, with 10+ years dedicated specifically to dogs. From tiny Chihuahuas to large, strong German Shepherds, I’ve worked with breeds of all sizes and temperaments. I’m also a lifelong cat owner and have cared for cats with a wide range of personalities, from playful and social to shy and reserved. I understand that each pet is unique, with their own quirks, needs, and routines, and I make it my priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. Animals seem to sense my genuine affection right away, and most warm up to me quickly. I bring calm yet positive energy that helps even timid pets feel at ease. I treat every pet like my own, offering attentive, protective, and responsible care. Whether it’s providing enriching playtime, keeping up with special diets, or just offering extra cuddles, I go above and beyond to make sure your furry family member feels happy and secure while you’re away. As a music teacher, I currently work only three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to devote to pet care. From Wednesday through Saturday, I have ample time and energy to focus on your pet’s needs whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. My schedule allows me to give your furry friend the attention, consistency, and care they deserve. I primarily provide care in my client’s home, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and feel most comfortable. This helps reduce stress and maintain their normal routines. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules to playtime and exercise, and always give extra love and attention. In certain cases, I can also care for pets in my own home, especially small dogs or cats. In my home, they will have a safe, clean, and comfortable space, along with plenty of affection, supervision, and enrichment.
About: Pets are family members. While you are away on a vacation, or even for a quick business trip, your loved one will be in good hands. After a very busy, 8 years of pet sitting, I am very comfortable with all breeds and sizes. Your pet will enjoy fresh air, playtime, and even snuggles if they’re open to it. Please feel free to leave detailed checklists, and I will make sure to check each box diligently ✅ I currently work as a full-time elementary school teacher. I am available to check in on your loved one before work as early as 6 to 8 A.M. and after work from 4-10pm. On the weekends, I can visit as often as needed! I will make sure I’ll gates or doors are closed before letting them out. While I am with your pet, my focus will be on them to ensure they’re safety.
“Tala is the most incredible and above and beyond pet sitter I’ve ever had!!! I travel a ton and have used many and she was the first to take the time to do a meet and greet to make sure she knew exactly what to do. I felt super comfortable leaving my home and cat in her hands. She is really sweet and kind, and made me feel at ease leaving my very skittish and shy cat when I’m usually nervous about it. I also had a random ant invasion all over my kitchen into my pet’s food and she took the time to get supplies and clean them all up, even setting up a pet safe bait. She’s the absolute best!!!!”

“Krystal came ahead of the kitty sitting assignment to get orientated. She really followed our suggestions about using her visit time to not only take care of food, and other basics, but what our kitty would enjoy-outside activities, playing with paper, making tents, and his favorite toys. She sent us photos daily of their time together. We are so grateful for her care and updates.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fountain Valley
Elise just watched my two cats for 5 days while I was on my honeymoon and she was amazing. First of all, she appreciates my cats are hilarious, but most of all, she is very communicative and so nice and pleasant to talk to every time. She goes above and beyond and we would only want to work with her going forward!
Meamea was wonderful! She was very attentive to the care of our cat. It was comforting to have someone check in and spend quality time with her. She even was attentive to outdoor decorative scarecrow that was blown by the wind and made sure it was placed in a secure location. If you plan to go away and need someone to take care of your fur baby, then look no further and book Meamea!
Teri has been great for the entirety of my overseas trip. She was very communicative which I greatly appreciated and let me know when there was any change going on with my cats while I was away. We then worked together to try and find a solution before I got home. She was extremely respectful of my house and even tried to help me out with a mail situation, which she absolutely did not have to do. She sends a great amount of pictures for each visit which was lovely to receive while I was away. She is a very sweet person, great at communication, is very attentive to the animals in her care as well as respectful of the house she is visiting. Just overall a really great rover sitter and I'll be using her again for my next trip!
I’ve been using Lily & Jason for dog walks for a while now and have always had a great experience, but this weekend they also did a drop-in for my two cats while I was at a wedding and my dog was boarding. They fed them, spent time hanging out with them, and made sure they were happy and taken care of while I was gone. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing I have people I trust not only with my dog, but with my cats too. They’re reliable, caring, and genuinely great with my pets. I’m so grateful to have found them and would absolutely recommend them for both dog walking and pet sitting!
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!

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.

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 .
