My home is dog friendly and I have two dogs that love to play with other dogs.

Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm, dependable companion, I’ll care for them as if they were my own.

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.

“This was our first experience using Rover. We have a new puppy and I was nervous, however Ashley was amazing, on time to each drop in visit, great communication and updates. My request for help was very last minute and Ashley was quick to respond and help us out. I know we'll be using rover a lot more and this first experience gave me great confidence. Thank you Ashely!”

“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!”

“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 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.
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.
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 understand what dogs need because I pay attention to the small things. When my own dog, Gorio, gets anxious, I don't just manage it—I anticipate it. I've learned to read his cues, adjust environments before he gets overwhelmed, and create routines that help him feel secure. I've taken him camping, navigated social situations with other dogs, and made tough calls to protect his wellbeing even when it's inconvenient for me. I treat every dog in my care like they matter—not as a job, but as a responsibility I take seriously. Whether your pup needs patience, structure, or just someone who won't leave them feeling like a burden, I show up fully present. Your dog won't just be watched—they'll be seen. Working part time as a surgical technologist, I usually work 3-4 days a week. On my own time I can do mornings on Mondays and Tuesdays I can also do Saturday evenings and Sunday evenings Home Visits: I respect your dog's space and routine. I will pay attention first to their comfort level, read their cues, and don't force interaction, when they are anxious. I’m very patient with them, so I make sure they feel safe, not stressed by having a stranger in their home. Walks: I'm mindful of your dog's pace and energy. I don't rush them. I'm aware of their triggers and keep them feeling protected, not overwhelmed. Overnight Stays: I'm consistent and reliable. Your dog won't be left wondering or anxious. I make decisions that prioritize their wellbeing, even when it's inconvenient for me.

Pet 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!

Nicholas was wonderful with Hazel! She can be a bit shy, and Nicholas arrived early to get her comfortable with him. I'm grateful for his patience with my girl in getting her to eat, potty, and take her meds! Nicholas sent lots of photos, update messages, and took his time with Hazel, and we're both so appreciative!

Hannah always goes beyond what's required not only did she spend extra time with our puppy she even helped when the puppy made a mess. He got into some old boxes and files she completely took the time and initiative to not only clean it all up but also move everything outside his play area since we were out of town!!! Highly recommend her 10/10 stars

- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
