“10/10. Very much recommended. Iysis G took very good care of our babies. From picking them up, assisting them with their vet appointment up to the time they were finally dropped off. We will get her services again in the future. Thank you Iysis!”
“Ashley is very sweet and took care of my pet cat Zoë well! I was completely at peace knowing she is in good hands. Ashley sent me all updates of the visit in detail which helped a lot. I would definitely be rebooking Ashley for future and will recommend her to all. Thank you!”
About: I’ve worked with animals since childhood and currently handle my own reactive dog who has significant behavioral challenges. Through extensive training, positive reinforcement, and patience, I’ve learned to read body language, manage triggers, and create calm environments for anxious or reactive pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, cats, and other animals. Neighbors, friends, and family trust me with their pets because I treat each animal as an individual with unique needs. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy, a senior pet requiring medication, or a reactive dog needing structured walks, I provide attentive, reliable care that gives owners peace of mind. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for walks and drop-ins on weekday evenings (typically after 5-6pm) and anytime on weekends. This makes me ideal for after-work walks, evening feeding visits, or full weekend care when you’re traveling. I’m also flexible for last-minute weekend bookings. I keep a consistent schedule so your pet can rely on regular timing, and I always communicate clearly about availability and any changes. For dog walks, I’m experienced with leash reactivity and keep dogs safely secured with secure collars/harnesses. I follow each owner’s specific instructions for feeding, medication, and routine. In your home, I’m respectful of your space, keep doors/gates secured, and send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and safe. I have a fenced yard if boarding is needed. My own dog has taught me to be vigilant about safety - I never take risks with gates, doors, or off-leash situations unless you’ve explicitly approved it.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for more than 15 years and have always had a deep love for animals. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members. I have experience with dogs of all ages and personalities, including shy and senior pets. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I am patient, attentive, and committed to following your instructions so your pet can maintain their normal routine. I am fluent in English and Spanish, allowing me to communicate easily with a wide range of pet parents. Regular updates and photos are always included! I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive and reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting on most weekdays and weekends. I understand how important routine is for pets, so I do my best to accommodate each pet’s schedule and needs while keeping owners updated with messages and photos. As a fellow dog parent, I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, including nervous and shy pups, so I always prioritize patience, safety, and comfort. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own and keep you updated every step of the way with photos and messages.
About: I have had pets all my life and learned from a very young age the importance of taking care of them; giving them love, feeding, cleaning up after them, etc. I grew up loving animals, enjoying taking dogs on walks, giving them treats, playing with them, learning their favorite spots to be petted, patience, gentleness, and most importantly, unconditional love. My experience consists of: Caring for own pets, cleaning pet messes, dog walking, feeding, giving medications, litter box cleaning, affection, brushing, giving treats, basic commands, & helping w/ pet sitting My schedule is mostly open, though I travel a lot, but I typically have plenty of time to feed, walk, and play with your pets. I am available Monday afternoons, Tuesdays after 4PM, and typically Wednesday-Saturday all day (subject to change) I could feed, walk dogs, cuddle/play with them during drop in visits, let them out in the backyard, and I'm willing to clean up poo in backyard. I also love to cuddle animals, so I will have lots of pets and cuddles for your fur baby.
About: I believe pets are family, and they should be treated that way. I currently have two dogs, two cats, and two guinea pigs, so my home is definitely a little busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve had animals my entire life and have always been responsible for their care. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, and I would treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and care that I give my own. Whether they’re playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or just want to curl up and be loved, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I work at a job that is very flexible so I can check in basically anytime during the day, as well as evenings and nights anytime. Weekends are also completely open. I am comfortable with any size and breed of animal. I am willing to just drop by or stay a while to keep them company.

“Kiana did everything I asked of her, and my babies were well taken care of. She sent plenty of pictures, and I highly recommend booking her to watch your pets. I will be hiring Kiana whenever I need to go out of town.”
About: I have had a lot of animals in my life and others from friends that I have cared for them while they left on trips. They were so glad to know that their pets were going to be okay when they came home because it was someone they trusted with their animals. I have had dogs that where young and old both on which I cared for very much they where well feed and exercised. I have trained young pups before but I wouldn’t say that I am a pro at it. There was a dog that I cared for and she had to take medicine so I learned how to do that so the owner knew the dog was okay. It was easier thought cause it was almost like giving her a treat once in the morning. A bonus is you will also get lots of cute pictures of your cute fur babies. I am currently wanting to start my own business so I am running little jobs that I like to do. I love animals so I want to help out and take care of others as much as I can. I will be able to care for your pets in the comfort of your own home so that they don’t have to go anywhere new especially if they are new to being home alone. I will care for your pets as if they where my own and I will make sure that they are taken care of for when you get back from work or a trip. If anything is out of the ordinary I will contact you to make sure that you are in the know of your pets and what it’s going on so you know that they are okay.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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. 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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
