“Sarah took great care of my cat, Juniper, while I was out of town! During our meet and greet she asked really thoughtful questions about Juniper’s routine and personality, which immediately made me feel confident that she genuinely cares about doing a good job. She was super communicative and sent lots of photo updates, which I really appreciated. It was such a relief knowing Juniper was in good hands and doing well. I’d absolutely book with Sarah again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
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.
“We have had Nadine come and watch our fur babies before and she was just as awesome this time! She sent photos of all 5 pets. They were all very happy! Nadine is a super star to our pet family and us”
“We had an excellent experience with Hannah! She took wonderful care of my cats while I was gone, making sure they were well fed and comfortable. It was clear she genuinely cared and treated them like her own. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Sofia is such a sweetheart and wonderful with my senior pup! She took the time to come meet Skippy a couple days prior to our booking and he immediately went right up to her which he’s usually reluctant to do. I’m very picky about who I have watch Skippy and I feel so safe and at ease when Sofia is taking care of him. I highly recommend Sofia!”
“Kirsten came through, when we needed a sitter, close to our departure. We met her and felt very comfortable leaving Em to her attention. Right on schedule each day, she provided the love and care needed. Thank you Kirsten!”
“Chelsea and Richard took great care of our pups! They were happy and nothing was destroyed except a cheap toy which is not unexpected. 😊 this was the second time we used Chelsea and Richard and we would recommend them! Thank you!”
“Shea and her parten were great. Flexible with timing . Lots of pics and updates. They took care of my pup while I was in a 5 day conference. Would recommend and use again.”
“Andrea was absolutely wonderful with my cat Bella and my fish Bumble. Bella is usually pretty outgoing, and Andrea did an amazing job keeping her entertained and happy. I loved getting the updates and pictures—Bella looked so comfortable and content, and Bumble was well cared for too. Coming home to such happy pets and a tidy space was a great feeling. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for someone who truly cares!”
About: Hi! Ive been petsitting/walking professionally for over 3 years. In addition, I previously worked as a vet tech assistant at an animal hospital where I got extensive hands-on experience in caring for all kinds of pets with different personalities and conditions. I've also helped foster over 200 dogs and cats through local animal rescues, caring for pets of all ages and needs, including newborns, seniors, sick and special needs pets, fearful animals, pregnant or nursing mommas, and hospice cases. All of this hands-on experience has given me deep knowledge, patience, and compassion in handling a wide range of behaviors and health conditions. I understand how to build trust with pets and provide the gentle and unique care they need whether it's giving medications, supporting recovery, gaining trust, following a strict care schedule, or just offering love and consistency. I work from home and take college classes online, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for daytime, evening, and even last-minute visits or walks. Your pet’s needs can easily fit into my routine! I always prioritize whatever makes both the pet and owner feel most comfortable and secure. In your home, I’ll follow your routines and instructions closely to maintain a familiar, stress-free environment.
“I am so glad I found Aidee through Rover! she is incredibly thoughtful and I am at ease that my dog is in good hands. I always receive a detailed report of their time together and plenty of pictures! I highly suggest Aidee to anyone!”
About: I was raised caring for 17 rescue dogs and currently work at a doggy daycare, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, puppies, seniors, and high-energy or anxious dogs. I love being around all animals they make me happy! I’m available weekday evenings and all day on weekends, ready to give your dog love, attention, and playtime while keeping their routine happy and stress-free. In your home I’ll keep pets safe and happy with regular potty breaks, playtime, and mental stimulation. They always get plenty of love, attention, and snuggles in a caring environment.
“Today’s was Mairas first time doing a drop in it visit with canelo while I was at work and she did great she sent me pics and he seems very happy playing with her , she fed him and even gives her his paw. The first time she walked him canelo seemed to instantly trust and like her and today’s drop in visit just further proves it. We will definitely continue you booking with Maira.”
About: As a dog groomer for over 5 years, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and sizes. I especially enjoy working with old timers. I love seeing their spunky and winning personalities. I give them the extra TLC they need and wait patiently on them. I work full time as a dog groomer, but cannot get enough of dogs. This will also allow me to get my steps in. I’m bottom heavy, so it’s tough for a dog to topple me over I can feed, water, and play with pups when at your home. I have experience changing diapers and cleaning up pee and/or poo accidents if they happen.
“I've had to do a few last minute bookings and Carissa has been absolute lifesaver! I sincerely appreciate her flexibility and her kindness and attention to my animals :)”
About: Hi! My name is Alexa, I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals of many personalities and ages. I recently relocated to California and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I am happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight care, puppy care, and providing extra patience for senior dogs or pets who may feel anxious when their owners are away. I have a 2 year old fur baby of my own, Arlo; who's taught me how important routine, exercise, and affection are for a dog’s happiness and well-being. I’m always able to adjust to your pet's needs and personality. Whether they love long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with someone nearby. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I enjoy spending the majority of my time with animals and being active outdoors. I structure my schedule to allow plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure pets get the attention they need throughout the day. I am sure to keep their routine as consistent as possible with what they’re used to at home. I follow instructions closely when it comes to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I know pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and respect I would give Arlo ❤️. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the pet’s environment and the home itself. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also keeping their surroundings clean and calm. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy levels to make sure they are happy and stress-free while you're away. Communication is also important to me, I like to provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your fur babies are doing well.

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:)
I really appreciate her taking a last-minute reservation to check on Powder. She made sure Powder had everything she needed, including checking her food, water, and litter box. She was reliable, caring, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. Thank you so much for helping out on short notice!
Otis had a great visit with Sarah! She was prompt, thorough, and took the time to ask about his history to make sure he had the best experience possible. I also really appreciated all the photos she shared throughout the visit, it gave me so much peace of mind. We look forward to booking with Sarah again soon. Thank you, Sarah!
Vivian did so well with my cats! She went above and beyond while caring for my cats while I was away, always keeping me updated each day. Really appreciate how clean the litter box was when I returned. She even emptied the trash can when it got too full with the litter. Very trustworthy and professional, definitely recommend her.
We would give 10 stars if I could! Our Annalie & Thi Ctook care of our two puppies for an entire week, and we couldn’t be more impressed. She was always on schedule, right on time, and kept everything running smoothly while we were away. When we got home, our dogs were in excellent condition—happy, well-adjusted, and clearly very well cared for. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and it shows in the way she treats the dogs. Don’t waste your time with anyone else—she is absolutely worth every penny. Highly, highly recommend!
This was my first time using rover and honestly I was super nervous. Those nerves went away so fast with Andrea. She asked a ton of follow up questions when meeting my cats to ensure she would be able to take care of them properly. That really eased my mind when I was leaving. During my trip she sent constant updates and pictures of the state of the kitties and my apartment. I was able rest easy knowing my cats and my apartment were in amazing shape. I am so incredibly grateful for Andrea's communication and care skills. If you need someone to take care of your pets with the same care you do Andrea will do just that
I very pleased with Elizabeth’s kindness and attentiveness! I am beyond neurotic when it comes to my fur babies lol and I have incredibly high expectation of their care and safety - They are my children. I found Elizabeth’s profile and although it’s always nerve wracking to entrust someone with your “kids” you just met, I had a good feeling about her in our messages. we arranged a meet and greet prior to our first Christmas Day evening visit and she was just wonderful. She listened closely to their routine at our meet and greet, and was very sweet and personable. She sent many photos during their Christmas Day visit which is always appreciated; She coaxed our pup who is a picky eater to eat more of his dinner which was a win and our very shy young cat even came out to say hi to her which never happens! I had notated in their care notes to stay in well lit areas on the walk with our pup due to coyotes and I could tell from the photos and map in rover she did exactly that- It means the world that she paid attention and customized their visit with our requests. I can tell She has a kind heart for animals and I am grateful we found her. We came home that night to two happy, well fed and content babies- already planning their next visit with her in January. Thank you Elizabeth!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Garden Grove stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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. 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.

- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
