“Debbie was so helpful and attentive with our kitty. He got a bit mischievous while we were away but Debbie was very sweet and patient with him. We even got some funny stories when she went to play and check in on him. We could relax and enjoy our trip knowing he was being well cared for.”
About: Natural dog whisperer. Meet my dogs and you'll see. They were both rescues with issues but are now great. Every dog I've dog sat or walked has now become a repeat customer or booked another stay this summer! We go to the dog park everyday and at least 1 super long walk. I'm a former research engineer and now just spend my days with my dogs. Figure we could use some company going to the dog park and dog beach I have an apartment with patio. I take my dogs out very often because I prefer being outdoors and exploring nature and all the trails
About: I’ve worked at a doggie daycare for 5 years and we have all types of dogs and puppies. We go on daily outings for 45min or more and always the beach so I’m down for long walks with the doggies I work M-F 8-3 so available anytime after that and weekends! I’m more available on weekdays than weekends. But anything is possible and I can work it out either way I have had an animals all my life and have dealt with the beginning stage of puppies. I have always been the one to look after my dogs and family dogs meaning feeding them, taking them out, etc
“Vicky did an amazing job with my cat Juno. She walked, fed, and played with her. I was impressed with how quickly she responded to messages and how reliable she was. The daily pictures made me feel confident that my cat was in good hands. I will be booking Vicky in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m nicole . I grew up with animals my whole life. I have a passion for pets of all sizes and species. I am excited to be able to help you by caring for your pets while you are away. Your babies will be cared for and loved just as if they were my own. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets. I’m currently working at night. So I’m mostly at home all the time. I am up all morning and afternoon. Then like around 8 o’clock I go to sleep. I have a fenced yard where they can play and There’s also a dog park nearby and a Beach I should go there almost every day. So I do go for long runs around the house there’s also a dog park nearby or usually go to the beach I do try to keep them occupied well it depends on the energy
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life, and I’m comfortable caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I grew up with cats and was lucky enough to have a litter born in my room, so I’ve been around them from the very beginning. I also grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful high-energy dogs to older dogs who need a gentler pace and a little more support. I’m especially patient with animals that are shy, skittish, cautious, or slow to warm up. I know not every cat or dog wants to be approached the same way, and I try to meet them on their terms, earn their trust, and make the interaction feel safe and positive. Whether that means a walk, playtime, quiet companionship, or giving them space, I want your pet to feel comfortable with me. When I take care of an animal, I treat them like they’re my own. I’m attentive with feeding, water, litter boxes, walks, routines, house instructions, and updates. My goal is simple: for you to feel confident while you’re away, and for your pet to get care, attention, and comfort from our time together. I currently have flexible availability and can work with different pet-care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, cat care, and in-home pet sitting. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and overnights depending on the request, and I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. I do not offer boarding in my home at this time. For walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I care for pets in their own home and follow the owner’s instructions closely. I pay attention to feeding routines, fresh water, litter boxes, doors, locks, leash safety, and keeping pets secure and comfortable. I’ll also provide updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Isabella was super great at taking care of our two cats (adult + 6 mo. old kitten) while we were on a trip. She was able to enter our apartment even though I was unable to do a pre-meet. She is most caring and our cats seemed to love all her visits! She has been great at communicating and flexible. We would definitely recommend her to take care of your pets, and we would love to book her next time we need help!”
About: My name is Steffany and I'm excited for the opportunity to care for your pet. I have a lifetime of loving animals and cared for many dogs and cats of my own over the years. I am professional, timely and welcome the opportunity to care for your four-legged family member. I am a busy professional in the Medical Field and will appreciate time with your pets. I'm well versed in caring for dogs and breeds of all types, as well as, feline friends. Thank you for stopping by to read my profile and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members in order to meet all of your specifications and provide excellent care.
“I so appreciate Lindsey's superb care of our cat and house during a recent five-day trip. Lindsey is prompt, capable and an excellent communicator. Our energetic cat thrived on Lindsey's watch. Lindsey went above and beyond—including helping me get to the airport and back on time. It was great to return home to a happy, healthy cat and tidy house! Thank you, Lindsey!”
About: Hey! my name Is Camila, I am from and Raised in the lovely Bay Area California. Somethings about myself: I love animals off all kinds, from Dogs, Cats, to Horses and Cows!, I’m Social, Kind, and love interacting with others! I am a music Artist and graduated in Music Production with a degree back in 2022. I also own my own costume business started back in 2015. My Experience with animals: I would love to consider myself Doctor DoLittle, I have spend most of my life around dogs and cats sharing my love with them. Ever since I was 5 years old my grandmother and I use to sit up to 8 dogs together in the house from small Teacup Yorkies to big Great Danes. I’ve had plenty of experience working inside other day care facilities, to even my own home daycare in the past. Around 2018 I took place in self training for dogs, such as positive reinforcement training to correcting behaviors, leash pulling and your typical fun tricks. I’ve also do have experience with cats! I love my fellow felines ! Please feel free to contact me! I would love to work and show you my skills as a sitter, walker, etc. I am self employed and own my home at home business. I work flexibility and am willing to take time away to work with my fellow clients and there fur babies. How I take care of my pets at home is by catering to them all the time. I personality love spoiling my dog and cat making sure they also live a happy life but always make sure to keep them in line with training so they don’t break habits. Keeping my animals healthy by their diet or exercise is also important + keeping their minds stimulated such as puzzles.
About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember, starting with Ginger, my family's German shepherd and husky mix, four cats, fish, and pet rodents growing up. I later spent about two years volunteering at my local SPCA, working hands-on with dogs of every size and temperament, from bouncy puppies to nervous rescues. I've also had cats of my own as an adult, including two rescues, and fostered kittens before I started traveling. Since then I've cared for pets through farm stays and housesits across Costa Rica, Panama, Spain, and Canada — dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, goats, sheep, pigs, a donkey, as well as an adult pet rabbit. 😊 I'm comfortable administering medication, working with anxious or senior animals, and managing multi-pet households. I'm calm, attentive, and treat every home and animal I look after like my own. I'm currently transitioning to the San Mateo County area temporarily starting early November and building my schedule around pet care full-time, so I have plenty of flexibility for house sits, and daily visits, including extended or last-minute stays. I don't currently have a conflicting 9-to-5, which means I can commit fully to a pet's normal routine for the length of a booking rather than fitting care in around other work. Since I focus on house sitting, I stay at your home rather than asking your pet to adjust to a new environment. I follow feeding, medication, and walking routines exactly as instructed, keep the house clean and secure, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I don't bring other pets into the home, so your animal gets my full attention for the whole stay.

Whether it’s daily care, overnight sitting, or just a check-in, you can count on me to give your pets the best care, every time! When caring for pets in my home or your home, I tailor the care to ensure the pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would with their owner. **In my home**: * I create a cozy, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and interaction. I keep their routine as close to what they’re used to, including meal times, exercise, and any special needs they may have. I provide supervised playtime, enrichment activities, and of course, lots of cuddles. If they’re staying overnight, I make sure they have a safe, quiet space to sleep and rest, while offering the same attention and care they'd get at home. **In your home**: * I follow the pet’s usual routine closely, whether that’s walking, feeding, or simply providing companionship. I’ll respect your home’s rules and your pet’s personal space, making sure they feel secure and happy in familiar surroundings. Whether it's playtime, administering medications, or just giving them affection, I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect. I also make sure to keep you updated with regular check-ins or photos, so you can feel connected and reassured while you're away. Ultimately, I provide personalized, loving care that reflects your pet’s individual needs and routine, whether they’re in my home or yours.
“We booked Dylan for drop in visit for a week while we are out of town. Our two cats seemed pretty comfortable with him. We were pleasantly surprised that shy one came out and was hanging around when he visites. He took a lot of photos of the cats each time he visited and followed the instructions we left for him. Overall we are happy with the service. The house was relatively clean when we got back. We did find out later that the cats threw up on their litter mat and we had to clean it up. It made the area smelly. If there is anything that I think Dylan could do better for his future clients, it would probably be noticing and helping with things such as opening the windows to let air out or cleaning up the pet mess. Although I didn't specifically leave instructions for him to open the window.”
“Savannah was amazing! She took wonderful care of my 2 cats; playing with them, sending great photos, and just being a very responsible, communicative & totally trustworthy pet sitter. She was very loving with the kittos, and great to have to keep an eye on the house too!!”
“Suzie was amazing! She took great care of my cat Zyon. She didn’t have many cat supplies, so I brought everything to her, but she took care of everything! She even thoroughly cleaned the litter box, which was really appreciated. Her communication was also great. She was quick to respond back and she always gave timely updates. I can tell Zyon enjoyed his time with Suzie and her partner, and I can tell they really cared for his well being. They have a pug, and she made she sure both Zyon and Hennessy got acquainted. I would be happy to leave Zyon with them with no hesitation.”
About: As long as I can remember, I’ve been surrounded my pets in my life, dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and more. My earliest memories were of my childhood pets. There is nothing that makes me happier then being around these furry creatures. Afternoon and late walks are my preference. My availability is pretty open and i have no problem accommodating for both our schedules to provide you with the most convenience! I am willing to check in frequently during services and offer maybe updates. I will take care of your pets as if they were my own! ❤️

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 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.

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 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.
