“Aileen has watched our two cats several times now and has been awesome! She is great with the cats and they are always happy when we get back. We look forward to continuing with her!”
About: I had a dog walking business when i was 15! i had a great experience and i’d like to share my work with others ! I am currently a full time student attending santa monica on weekdays but i’d like to help others during my free time, those in need! At home i am very attentive with my dogs! they are my biggest priority i want to help others and treat their pet like it is mine!
About: I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits Monday - Sunday. I am generally available mornings, afternoons, and evenings on most days. I do have classes on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1:00–4:00 PM, but I am available before and after those hours. Outside of that, I am open and flexible and happy to accommodate visits as needed to make sure your cat is cared for and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, routine, and making sure each pet feels comfortable in their own space. I will follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, medication if needed, and any specific routines the pet is used to. I try to take my time with each visit so pets don’t feel rushed or stressed. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and attention or playtime depending on their personality and comfort level. I also pay close attention to their behavior so I can notice anything unusual and communicate with the owner. I of course will also send lots of photo updates so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. Additionally, if needed, I’m happy to help with small additional tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants. And before leaving, I always make sure everything is clean, tidy, and secure. My goal is to keep pets safe, calm, and comfortable so owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
“Lipika was the greatest. What piece of mind I had on my trip. This service is so worth it. The pictures and comment go a long way. Last time I asked a friend and I didn’t feel the care that Lipika had. Thank you for great people like her and I will book again for my upcoming trip in June and September!”
About: I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, affection, quiet company, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay. Our home is clean, quiet, smoke-free, and occupied only by my wife and me, creating a calm and stress-free environment for your cat. For safety and comfort, guest cats stay in their own private room, with secured window and door, separate from our cats unless otherwise requested.
About: I've taken dog grooming classes. I know how to bathe dogs and trim their nails. I've worked at a dog day care before. There, I helped watch dogs of all sizes and ages and bathe them as needed. I'm currently working part-time, so I have some free time throughout the week to pet-sit, walk, and drop in. I currently cannot board due to my apartment not allowing pets at the moment. I follow what I believe is the best protocol when dealing with animals. When I introduce myself, I like to lower myself to the ground to meet them at their level and try to let them approach me when they want. I love to play and pet animals.
About: Ever since I was 13, I knew I wanted to work with animals, I have such a strong passion for them. This isn’t about earning money but about making sure they get the life they deserve. I’m starting small but, I know one day, I want to make this a living. Caring for animals is what I love, I could not see myself doing anything else while being this happy. A friend of yours is a friend of mine. ❤️ My schedule is honestly really open. I don’t do anything throughout the day so i have a lot of free time. I love animals so why not do that in my free time. My dogs have always been well taken care of. When i used to pet sit for my friend’s they never had any complaints and only had good things to say
“I appreciated Kendra’s initiative to schedule a meet and greet with my cat, Rusty, prior to our scheduled drop-in visits. Rusty quickly warmed up to her. Thanks to Kendra’s photos and videos of visits, I got to see Rusty enjoying her care and attention. We returned from trip to a relaxed and happy cat.”
“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.”
“Angélica was an absolutely incredible cat sitter for my cat, Cheech, during my 10-day trip. From day one, her communication was outstanding—she sent regular updates with photos and videos that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Cheech was not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and comfortable in her presence. What really blew me away was her thoughtfulness. On her final day, she left printed photos of Cheech along with sweet gifts and handwritten notes—such a personal and kind gesture that meant a lot to me. I trusted Angélica completely in my home, and she treated both Cheech and my space with the utmost respect and care. If you're looking for someone dependable, caring, and genuinely great with animals, I can't recommend Angélica enough. She’s a true gem!”
“Marianna was absolutely wonderful. She took very good care of our senior kitty Zelda, which involved tracking and administering different meals, giving nightly meds, making sure Z was comfy with her laser light and TV programs, and more. She left beautiful and detailed notes, sent great pics of Z, and went above and beyond too, doing things like filling our bird feeder and washing and refilling the water dishes we keep out for birds, which was not something we asked her to do but was very much appreciated. She left everything better than she found it. She responded quickly when I reached out to her too. Marianna has a sweet, calm energy that immediately put us and Z at ease. We definitely plan to work with Marianna next time Z needs grounded and loving care.”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I am currently a bunny mom to 2 bunnies! So any time spent with dogs makes me so happy. I am currently helping two families for the past 4 years when they go on vacations or work trips. Me and my husband Michael are looking for a new babies to love and care for! I am off weekends. I work Full time Monday thru Friday. 10-5:30pm. I can do morning walks before work and after work. Me and my husband usually do the jobs together so if I am at work he can assist as well. Open availability during the weekends. I can house sit if you ever go on Vacation or work trips. I own a car so destination isn’t a problem. I can drive them to a local Dog park on request as well. I love taking dogs out for walks or having fun play time indoors or outdoors. I can travel to your home to care for your pets. I can do feedings as well.
“We just moved to the area and Marianne was wonderful keeping our minds at ease while we had to go out of town without our two cats. Marianne provided daily updates with pictures, was super responsive, and even our shy cat loved her. 10/10 will be booking with her again. We’re so grateful!!”
About: Hi everyone my name is Angie and I may be new to Rover but I am not new to loving and caring for precious pups. I currently don't have any dogs living with me but prior to July 2025 I had my own fur babies since 1992. I decided this would be a wonderful way for me to get some puppy love, bring peace of mind to traveling pet parents, and make some money while providing a loving service. I have taken care of many of my friends pups along the way. Saki, Sophie, Sushi, Bodhi, Lucy, and Honey. I also occasionally foster dogs to help my friend's rescue. I would love to meet and care for your babies. My home is a safe and loving space for pups to play and have their "stay-cation"!! I work from home and will be available to be with the pet pretty much all day. Consistent time outdoors will be provided weather permitting. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play or grab that nice patch of sunshine to nap in. I maintain a clean and calm environment.
About: I have ample experience caring for other families dogs, as well as my own three who have now passed. I have been a trusted caregiver for pets for over 10 years, including overnight stays and drop-ins. I will care for your dog/cat as if they are my own family’s pets. I am currently working remotel after graduating College, so pet-sitting fits perfectly into my schedule. I have a fully open schedule, and am ready to care for your sweet fur babies! I care for pets in my home, or a clients home, the way that I would care for my own pets. This care is full of love, compassion, energy and excitement.
About: I have been dog sitting and dog walking for friends and neighbors for about 15 years now. I have done dog sitting for various breeds including chihuahuas, corgis, german shepherds, aussies, poodles, etc. so I know how different their energy levels can be but can handle it all! Depending on what you are comfortable with, your dogs stay will include trips to the dog park, long walks around the neighborhood, playing with my own doggo, and of course being showered with love. I have my own Australian Shepherd who loves meeting new friends! Both of us would love to get the chance to spend some time with your doggo! I do work full time but I work earlier in the day so have afternoons / evenings free for drop-in’s, walks, etc for your doggo! I’ll treat your pupper the way I’d want a sitter to treat my baby and of course that includes sending tons of pics of your fur baby to you while I’m there :)
“Birgitta made all visits including checking robot litter box, auto feeders, and water. She kept close contact and provided status updates on the rover.com app. We arrived home early and was able to help with the final 8th day feeding without issues. The cat looked great. Thanks for taking good care for 'Nile.'”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hawthorne
Lipika was prompt and courteous, took notes when we had our initial meeting, was very communicative, and went above and beyond doing a bit of pet cleanup and grabbing our packages when she visited. Will definitely reach out to her for our next vacation and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!
Lindsey is the best! She is always available, reliable, and great with communication. She was able to take care of my cat when I missed my flight and offered to see her more often than I requested as a wedding gift 💝 truly a gem !! She will go above and beyond for your fur baby. Highly recommend.
Sofia rocks! This is our second time having Sofia watch our kitties. She totally helped us out with a last minute care need and she even helped reset our router during the trip when we have wifi troubles and stayed through meal time to make sure the feeders were back up. Thank you again!!
Rebecca is the best cat sitter I’ve ever had. I get nervous leaving my cat but Rebecca sent thorough updates every day, lots of pictures and videos, and my cat looked SO happy and entertained hanging out with her. I didn’t worry at all on this trip, which meant so much to me. Rebecca goes above and beyond with everything and is a lovely caring person. I hope to book with her again!
Maggie was referred to me by a friend who is also a cat mama obsessed with her cats so I knew I could trust her. She took EXCELLENT care of our two cats. She was very communicative and compassionate. She was observant and made sure they always had what they needed. I was actually able to enjoy my vacation because I knew that they were in good hands! I highly recommend Maggie as a sitter for your pets!
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.

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.

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 .

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 .
