“Sigrid was great! She came first for a meet and great to meet Ozzy and make sure he would be comfortable with her. Then when she came for the drop in visit, after feeding Ozzy she spent extra time with him —playing fetch and walking with him until he was worn out. She kept us updated with photos and videos during the visit and it was clear that Ozzy was having a great time with her. We are grateful that Sigrid took extra time to get to know Ozzy and make sure he was at ease with her — that’s not always easy for Ozzy, as he was mistreated in his former life. Sigrid is clearly a true dog lover, and I highly recommend her. Your pup will be in good, capable and loving hands with Sigrid!”
About: I have had animals of all kinds in my home since I can remember. I grew up believing I would become a vet; I instead pivoted into neuroscience, but my love of animals still remains! I grew up with a German shepard -Rottweiler mix which has given me a soft-spot for large breed dogs, but I love everything with four legs! I have been volunteering at animal shelters as a dog walker and foster home since I was 12 years old, giving me experience with a range of animal's temperments and needs. I am experienced with reactive dogs and shy dogs, and am happy to cater my skills to your animal's needs. Note: I am also a runner and would be happy to take your dog for a run if they are well-behaved on a leash. I am currently between jobs, so I am happy to cater to your schedule. Open to becoming your weekly dog walker, or go-to house-sitter. Feel free to reach out about scheduling details! I am an incredibly calm person and I hope to carry that with me in my pet care. If welcomed into your home I will be nothing but grateful, and will follow any house rules you set.
“Savannah is a dream! So professional and kind, an excellent communicator and a quick problem solver. Savannah cared for our chickens for nearly three full weeks and watched over the house and plants. She provided regular updates, was intuitive to care for the girls in the hot weather and allowed my time away to feel so much more at ease. I was so thrilled to return with thriving plants, and happy, calm chickens. Will definitely look to book with her again in the future, and recommend fully!”
“Cora has been consistently showing up for over three months and has managed to build a trusting relationship with our very shy cat. She is attentive and I highly recommend her.”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life, and caring for both cats and dogs have always brought me a lot of joy. Growing up I always had cats and dogs in the house at all times. Caring for them through every stage of life has taught me a lot about patience, trust and the eclectic personalities that make pets so wonderful. I love learning about animal behavior and body language so I can help animals feel safe, understood and comfortable. I believe in meeting them where they are and earning their trust at their own pace, no matter the personality type. As a mainly remote working professional, I have the flexibility to provide dependable visits and walks throughout the day. I can easily fit care into my routine while updating parents with photos and messages along the way. I understand inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. As an owner with specific pet routines of my own, I know that each pet has their own preferences and comfort level that I pay close attention to. My goal is to provide dependable care, clear communication and peace of mind so you can be present while you're away knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve raised 3 puppies into adulthood. I have experience potty training puppies. I’m also good at taking pups to their vet appointment. I am very active so I have a lot of energy to keep up with hyperactivity. Doing Rover Full time now and have a lot of free time so no worries I will have a schedule dedicated to your pet’s needs. I am very patient and observant. I will keep your pet engaged in indoor and outdoor activities! If you provide me with house rules for your pet I will follow them to the best of my ability. I can be in consistent communication with pet owners.
About: I have cared for animals my whole life! I currently have one cat but have had dogs cats, and turtles. I am very attentive. I try to communicate with each animal on their level. It's important to me that they feel heard. Whether they're trying to show me something that interests them, or worries them. I am always watching and listening. I work part-time right now, so I have a lot of time during the week to care for your pets. We will just need to find a time that suits both out needs. Firstly, I will follow any specialized directions you give me. You know your pets better than anyone! Secondly, I've cared for pets pretty much my entire life and their safety is my #1 priority. I know how to keep an eye on them- even the mischievous ones haha!
About: I enjoy walking dogs and spending time with cats. They are usually attuned to people and I am attentive to their needs with calm energy. I have an open schedule. I enjoy spending time outdoors. I am energetic when needed enjoying physical exercise. I am mellow having calm energy indoors. I have worked in other people's homes before and am considerate of their space and respectful of their belongings. I take charge when needed to get pet to respond.
About: I have always been good at training dogs, I have a 9 year old dog of my own and I love taking him on walks. I am currently in school locally at the SRJC, I am in school at both the Petaluma and Santa Rosa campus. I am a full time student and I also do volunteer work with Forgotten Felines and Forget Me Not Farm. Since I don’t have a job, this makes me the ideal candidate to work with your lovely sidekicks with no distraction! Working with animals is my dream, I want to be a neuro-vet, this is how I can work closely with animals in my current stage. My school hours are between 9AM-4PM M + W, and 9-11 Tues + Thurs, I will be in school during these times and return immediately to assist with your pet(s) afterward! I usually have an hour - hour and a half gap in between classes, if I need to stop by for a few minutes during that period I’m sure we will work it out. I love making sure that animals are comfortable, I will ensure house rules are in place, and I am excellent in dog training. I love to spend time with the animals even when not required.
“Savannah is awesome, I will definitely use her again for upcoming times that I'll be away. Having one dog with a heart murmur makes it difficult to leave home, so having someone I can trust to take care of him and my other dog is very freeing and reassuring.”
About: I’m a registered veterinary technician with over 15 years of experience looking for a side job. I have a background in emergency, general practice, behavior, and dermatology. I’m working relief shifts now so I have various availability to fit most pet parents needs. Whether that be drop in pet sitting/ enrichment or dog walking. I have 2 small dogs and 3 cats at home. So I can’t pet sit in my home but I’m happy to provide drop in services.
“Tiffany took great care of our guinea pig and fish while we were out of town for a week during the holidays. She is an amazing petsitter and went above and beyond the care we were hoping for. Our guinea pig had last minute health issues, and Tiffany took on extra medication administration as well as wound care. She did an amazing job, and we can’t thank her enough.”
“Bridget is the best! My boys warmed up to her immediately. She sent photos of them each day and made sure they had everything they needed. Her response time was prompt and she’s reachable! I trust my boys in her hands anytime and will absolutely be booking her again :)”

The only reason we feel good leaving our elderly cats to go on vacation is because we know Cora will take such amazing care of them! She's incredibly communicative, kind, caring, always goes above and beyond and is just an awesome person. I couldn't possibly think more highly of her, or be more forceful in my recommendation that if you're on the fence, just give her a shot - you'll be incredibly happy you did!
I have used Ariel a few times now and really appreciate her. She is trustworthy, reliable, and communicative. My kitty is a scaredy cat and when he found a new hiding spot and Ariel couldn't find him once, she called to let me know and offered to stay longer than her booked time, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Ariel!
Finding Audrey has been such a treat for us. She is smart and personable and she is extremely responsible and dependable. She took such wonderful care of our cat and our home. We are so pleased and relieved to find such a nice person to take care of our pet and keep an eye on things while we are away. We no longer need to feel guilty about burdening the neighbors. We think the cat misses her, she got so much extra special personal attention while we were gone!

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.

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.
