“Summer did an excellent job in making sure Chunk was happy and well cared for. Chunk can be shy with new people and she took it slow and made sure he knew she was there when he was ready! We would definitely book with her again.”
“Avalon was fantastic with our senior pup, Sadie! The communication and notes we received while away were very detailed. We will definitely book Avalon again!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, having cats growing up and later volunteering with dogs at rescue orgs. My time as a training class assistant for Puppy Manners and New Dog Basics at the San Francisco SPCA gave me valuable skills in positive reinforcement training, socialization, and handling dogs of all temperaments. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have experience with horses, having owned and leased several. I’m comfortable with feeding, turnout, mucking stalls, brushing, and general equine care, making me a well-rounded caregiver for multi-pet households. What sets me apart is my ability to care for pets at all life stages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing extra patience and comfort. Whether it’s structured walks, reinforcing good manners, or providing a calm and loving presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of pet behavior across species and a passion for ensuring their happiness and well-being, I go beyond basic care to provide engaging, enriching, and compassionate pet companionship. After our Husky mix’s TPLO surgery in Fall 2024, I’ve decided to make pet care my main focus. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and this shift allows me to dedicate my time and energy to providing top-quality care for pets in my community. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and customized care based on each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, feeding and playtime, or extra TLC for pets recovering from surgery, I tailor my services to fit both routine and special care requirements. My experience with dogs, cats, and even horses means I’m comfortable handling a variety of schedules—from structured training sessions to free-spirited outdoor adventures. No matter the time of day, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients’ homes. At my home, we have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure and spacious area for dogs to play and explore. Your pup will also have built-in companionship with our two friendly dogs, ensuring plenty of socialization and fun. For exercise and enrichment, we have scenic trails nearby, perfect for peaceful walks in the woods—giving dogs a chance to sniff, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s unique routine and environment, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether it’s reinforcing training, maintaining feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm presence while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. No matter the setting, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and enriching experience for pets—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.
“I am so pleased at the care and attention Emily gave to my Emilio. She was available late notice and I can tell from the pics that he was smitten with his new sitter ❤️🐾🙏🏻.”

“Damita really helped us out because right after we left on vacation our power went out. Then our flight home was delayed and Damita quickly agreed to add another visit to our booking to care for our dog. She continuously updated us and asked how she could be of more help. We’re really impressed with her kindness and how she went to extra mile for us. Thanks Damita!”
“Kimberly takes such wonderful care of my deaf/blind old pup, Ollie and my shy kitty, Louise! She had dropped by to care for them a few times and I absolutely adore the photos she sends. I can just tell that both of my animals are comfortable and curious with Kimberly. I know it’s because Kimberly treats them like they were her own. It is so clear that she loves animals and really will go the extra mile (or few) to make sure the animals are cared for. Five stars and would highly recommended!”
About: I work at a pet hospital that specializes in the care of cats and dogs, where I’ve had the opportunity to care for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m also experienced in caring for pets with a variety of medical conditions and specific needs, including dietary restrictions and medication administration. In addition to my veterinary experience, I have about 2 and a half years of pet-sitting experience caring for cats and dogs for friends and family. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing when needed, and providing plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and give them all the love and care they deserve! 🐾 I am available primarily on weekends, as I work full-time during the week. I’m available on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 AM to 8 PM. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your pet's safety and their environment with the same care and respect I would give my own fur babies. I follow each pet parent’s instructions and routines closely, making sure pets are comfortable, supervised, and stay on their regular schedule as much as possible. I’m respectful of your home and keep things clean and tidy while I’m there. I can also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Shianne did a great job, making sure she was paying attention to all the many details I requested. She is a good communicator and she loved my kitty and took very good care of her!”
About: Hi! I’m Alicia, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I know that trusting someone with your pet isn’t just about finding a sitter—it’s about finding someone who will care for them like family. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring outside, or simply curling up for snuggles, I’m happy to provide the care and attention that helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. My experience goes beyond just dogs and cats. I’ve also cared for chickens, ducks, and other small animals, so I’m comfortable with a variety of pets and personalities. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. As a pet owner myself, I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and making sure every animal gets the attention they deserve. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so daily walks and active play are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise or simply a calm, loving companion, I’m happy to adapt to their routine and provide the care they’re used to. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, dependable hands. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I know every pet has unique needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. I believe communication is key, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and messages while you’re away. I’ll always treat your home with the same respect I would my own and strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for. Whether we’re out on a walk, playing in the yard, or relaxing at home, you can trust that your pet will receive the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own animals.
“Sophia was able to accept a last minute booking for me when my friend got sick and couldn’t check on my kitty! She was responsive and followed my directions exactly. Will definitely book her again!”
“Colin was phenomenal at taking care of our pup! He left detailed notes that gave us great updates and peace of mind that our dog was well cared for. Colin took our dog out for a walk, even when not necessary, to give her extra attention and stimulation. We came back to one happy dog and safe home!”

I don’t understand the psychology of pet owners and pet providers… perhaps it’s the common bond of loving animals, but i handed Summer our house keys within 30 minutes of our meet and greet appointment. I generally don’t do that easily. Summer was responsive to our requests for our cat’s care and meal plan and arranged to fit into our schedule without question. She sent us great photos and answered our questions promptly.
Working with Tayler was a breeze! She visited our kitty twice a day while we were away for the weekend. Very communicative with us, sent pics every visit, and was very attentive to our vocal & demanding cat. I will definitely work with her again in the future!!
We’ve worked with Katlynne several times and she’s always done a great job! Our pets are pretty high maintenance and we always get nervous leaving them, but she’s very reliable and goes above and beyond our care instructions. She was even willing to check on and feed our chickens!
Erin was a lifesaver when our pet care fell through for our recent vacation. She was amazing with our dog who is usually a little slow to warm to people, and gave us update as to how he and our cat were doing while we were away. Couldn’t recommend Erin enough!
Communicated well, my cats who are cautious when people come over came out every day to see her!!! I had such peace of mind with her caring for my cats while on my trip, which made my time away even more enjoyable! Definitely will use Rachael again in the future!

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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
