“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 :)”
“Elise did a wonderful job watching our cat while we were away. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures! I would definitely trust her with my fur babies again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“We were so blessed that Nikcole was available to care for our fur baby with last-minute notice. Nikcole was super responsive, and we appreciated the picture updates we got throughout the day. It was our cat’s first time doing boarding too (she had to be out of the apartment for a pest control treatment), and Nikcole and her family members made our fur baby feel safe and comfortable. She was attentive and followed our care instructions closely. We will definitely book again in the future, if we need it. Highly recommend placing your trust in Nikcole!”
“Rich, thank you so much for taking care of my cats while we were away this holiday. I loved that you always kept me updated, sent me pics, and was always on time, which was especially important since one of them is diabetic. You helped me feel comfortable that my cats were in good hands. Thank you for that. Merry Christmas! Susana”
“Sarah was excellent. She responded quickly and was able to come over for a meeting right away. She did a great job of taking care of everything while I was gone. My cats appreciate it.”
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.
“Amy is the best ! She helped right away when our flights got delayed due to weather . She goes the extra mile to make our kitty feel loved when we travel and feel bad for leaving her at home!”
“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.”
“Samantha did a wonderful job looking after our kitties and fish. She was asked great questions, was careful and thorough with the feeding and cleaning, and communicated with us throughout her stay at our home. Our kitties were happy and relaxed when we came come, and Samantha left our home tidy and clean. Thank you for doing such a nice job, Samantha!”
About: I provide specialized, dog-free drop-in care exclusively for cats. As a dedicated cat owner, I know that feline care requires a patient, observant, and gentle pace rather than high-energy excitement. Because of my background, managing highly structured routines, following precise feeding and hydration checklists, and maintaining a pristine environment comes naturally to me. I treat cat sitting as a serious, professional commitment, focusing heavily on home security, strict schedule adherence, and keeping your personal space exactly the way you left it. Pet care is the anchor of my entire daily and weekly routine. My days start with morning feedings, checking water bowls, and doing a thorough first pass of the litter boxes so everything is clean before the day begins. Throughout the day, I build in dedicated blocks for active enrichment—whether that means interactive playtime with laser pointers and wand toys to keep them moving, or grooming sessions for cats that love being brushed. Because I spend a lot of time at my desk, I'm always around to monitor their behavior, offer quiet companionship, and make sure they are comfortable. On a weekly and monthly basis, my routine is heavily organized around preventative health and wellness. I stay strictly on top of recurring maintenance tasks, like administering topical monthly flea and tick care precisely on schedule. I also treat veterinary health as a non-negotiable priority, keeping clear track of upcoming wellness exams, tracking booster shot timelines, and ensuring food and pantry essentials are consistently restocked. Caring for pets isn't just a checklist for me; it's a seamless, natural part of how I manage my environment every single day. My approach to pet care is completely tailored to the specific service selected, ensuring your home boundaries are fully respected and your cats feel entirely secure. For Drop-In Visits:When I visit your home, my focus is divided equally between strict environmental maintenance and dedicated socialization. I immediately handle the physical essentials: thoroughly scooping the litter boxes, wiping down the surrounding area, washing food bowls, and replenishing fresh water fountains. Once the chores are handled cleanly, the remaining time is dedicated entirely to your cat's specific psychological needs. For social cats, this means focused, interactive play sessions with their favorite wand or laser toys. For shy or anxious cats, I respect their boundaries completely, sitting quietly nearby to offer gentle, non-threatening companionship so they never feel forced or stressed. Regardless of the service, every single booking includes real-time, comprehensive updates with clear photo confirmations detailing exactly how much they ate, their behavioral mood, and bathroom habits so you have total peace of mind.
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.
“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!”
“Ashley was wonderful! From our first meeting to the end. She took notes which I really appreciated. We have two kitties and one is a tripod that has additional needs and as she checked in, I knew they were ok. Kitties were happy when we got back from our trip because they were well taken care of. thank you, Ashley!”
About: I have always grown up around dogs and now I have 2 beautiful golden retrievers. I have nursed their wounds, given them medication, made their food, groomed them, and some hours of research to take care of them. I have also watched or helped take cared of friends and families dogs. My past job as a cna has helped me to not be afraid of a messy situation. I am also great with high energy dogs. I am currently a student and help my partner with his private chef business so I have lots of free time in between. I help him with 1-2 events a week so I have a lot of free time to check up or walk your dogs. I am available every morning and most nights. I go to school online and all of my classes are currently short and spread out so I have lots of free time for walks. I would care for my client’s pets like my own. We will have the best time together and I always make sure they are in a happy and safe environment. I am always prepared on walks with treats, extra leashes, and plenty of bags.
About: I have been taking care of dogs from all various age ranges since I started dog sitting and walking at the age of twelve. While I don't have any professional training, I can easily connect with dogs on personal level because of my warm and friendly personality. I have two large dogs of my own and have an understanding of what it takes to care for bigger breed dogs. I love to spoil my own pets and will do the same for my current and future clients. I currently work as a teacher so I'm available to take care of a clients pet in the early mornings and anytime after 2PM. I'm more available on the weekends and will usually take the pet out for longer walks as my schedule permits. I have never taken care of another clients pet in my own home, I always get offered to stay in my clients homes. The clients always introduce me to the pet before I take the job, to make sure I will be a good fit and am trustworthy to be in their home. All clients I have house sat for, leave detailed written instructions as to what their pets daily needs and routine are. I make sure to follow all directions exactly how they are written and I keep the client up to date on how the animal is doing plus I send check in pictures whether they are requested or not.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fountain Valley
Our usual cat sitter wasn’t available so i had to find someone quick last minute. Gloria was excellent. We had a meet and greet first and Mini took to her immediately which is not usual for her. Gloria took care of our cat and our home while we were gone for 2 weeks. I highly recommend her to anyone looking gorgeous someone yo take care of their fur babies.
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!
Amanda took care of our two kitties while we were away for 15 days. She came twice a day to feed them and tend to their litter boxes, and provided us with regular updates and pictures. Even our one cat who is afraid of anyone who isn’t us warmed up to her and let Amanda scratch her cheek during visits!! We are so grateful to have had the comfort of knowing that our two little ones were in good hands so we could enjoy our time away. We would absolutely ask for Amanda to take care of them again in the future!!!
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.

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 .
