“Aileen is a fantastic sitter and always takes amazing care of our two cats! We feel comfortable and happy being able to leave when we need to knowing Aileen will be there to make sure our cats are cared for and loved.

About: Hi! My name is Maimu. When I lived in Japan, I always had dogs and cats as pets, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I provide calm, attentive care and follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, and regular potty breaks. I’ll keep your home tidy and communicate clearly, with photo updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. My availability for walks is currently mainly: * Morning: 6:30 AM–8:00 AM * Evening: 5:00 PM–7:00 PM On some days, I may also be available during the day—please send me a message and I’ll let you know my availability. My schedule can vary depending on childcare, so please contact me in advance to confirm dates and times. Safety is my top priority, and I always supervise interactions and follow your instructions carefully. I can also run with your dog, so jogs/runs are very welcome! I know it can be stressful to trust someone else with a beloved dog or cat—they’re family. I take time to build trust with both you and your pet, and I’ll do my very best to provide thoughtful, individualized care. Pet care works well with my weekly routine because I organize my schedule around visits and walks. I’m currently available from 6:30–8:00 AM and 3:30–7:00 PM, and I always do my best to reply promptly. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s routine, and I keep doors and gates secure. I always use a leash outdoors unless you tell me otherwise, avoid risky situations, and monitor body language for stress. In your home, I keep the space clean and tidy, refresh food and water, and send photo updates. If anything seems unusual, I contact you right away.
“Jackie was amazing with our cat, Gypsy! She usually is a very shy cat, but warmed up to her almost right away. It was easy to communicate with her and I felt very reassured and comfortable knowing she was looking after her when I was abroad.”
“Mars was excellent. My cat is usually a bit bashful but Mars was kind and was able to keep my boy happy and comfortable. She even wrote me a little Happy New Years wish. For short notice on a holiday she was above expectations.”
“Daylin is punctual, communicative, and does an amazing job taking care of our dog Boba! (Boba can be a little apprehensive, and Daylin was very patient and sweet towards her.) She also constantly updated us on Boba's well-being. We highly recommend Daylin for your pet sitting needs!”
“Caitlin was great in doing our cat “drop in” visits. Followed directions and played with the kitties. Very reliable, followed directions, and had great communication. She sent us such cute pictures of the kitties while we were away. Would hire again!”
“Amelia was great she to really good care of my baby girls. She took the time to sit and play with them. I felt really at ease with her taking care of them. Will definitely book with her again.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something that genuinely comes naturally to me. I’ve grown up with dogs and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets who need extra attention, medication, or a little more patience. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. I’m also comfortable following detailed feeding, medication, and care instructions so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. And of course, I’ll keep you updated while you’re gone! I love sending lots of photos and updates so you can see what your pup is up to and know they’re happy, comfortable, and being well cared for. My current schedule is quite flexible, making me available for whatever you & your pup may need! Feel free to reach out, even if it's at the last minute. While watching pets, I fit to what they need. I love staying active and enjoy going for walks and/or runs with high-energy pups. But, I'm also more than happy to have a more chill doggy day as well.
“Sydney is fantastic! She clearly cares about animals and took wonderful care of our cats! She even took the time to play with them to help them get comfortable with her and adjust to our absence. Sydeny also went above and beyond checking something for us that we forgot to do before leaving. As a bonus she also sends adorable pictures and videos while you're gone! Highly recommend Sydney!”
“Justin was amazing! I needed a last minute sitter to fed and take Loki potty while I was visiting the area for the weekend and had 2 longs days. Got the cutest photo of my Loki! Would definitely recommend Justin and will book again if I’m in the area again!”

I'm a 5 year repeat customer requesting drop in cat sitting for 3 cats. Aileen is the best! Very dependable and really helped 1 of our kitties with some unique medical needs on top of all the other cat tasks. Came home to happy and well cared for cats! Thank you Aileen!
Citlalli was absolutely amazing! I accidentally booked my two drop-in visits for the wrong day, but she was so flexible, understanding, and generous about it. She took such great care of my dog and sent me the cutest pictures and he looked so happy and comfortable! 🥹 I really appreciated how kind and accommodating she was. I would definitely book with Citlalli again and highly recommend her! ❤️
Matt was amazing! He took great care of Chloe after we reached out with a last-minute request for a drop-in visit. He was quick to respond, reliable, and made the whole process so easy. We loved receiving picture updates, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Chloe was happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for his help and will definitely be using Matt again for any future dog sitting or drop-in services. Highly recommend!
Indra did an amazing job dropping in to check on out pets during our trip. She was prompt, reliable, and communicative. She took extra care giving out pets the type of attention they like, and shared great pictures and videos with us daily. Would highly recommend.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Gardena 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gardena. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
