“Sydney was awesome with our 7-month-old kitten for twice daily hour-long visits while we were away for a few days! We had a nice meet and greet before booking and felt very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. She is very communicative and easy to connect with, she shared great updates with every visit and lots of great pictures and videos of our cat playing ☺️ We’d highly recommend her for catsitting!!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have always relied on me to check on, feed, walk and play with their pets. What sets me apart is my professional background in 4-star luxury hospitality and corporate office coordination. Because of this experience, I bring absolute reliability, meticulous attention to detail, and deep respect for your home security and privacy. I am highly responsible and comfortable following strict feeding schedules, tracking specific dietary needs, administering medications or managing energetic walks. Whether your pet needs high-energy midday walks or gentle and attentive care, I focus entirely on keeping them safe, happy and loved while you are away. I operate with a highly flexible weekly schedule, allowing me to easily accommodate midday walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting assignments. I have excellent availability on weekends as well as open windows on weekdays to adjust to your pet's precise care routines. I am dedicated to maintaining strict schedule compliance so your pets are not left waiting. Safety and trust are my absolute highest priorities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all specific household rules, gate protocols and security instructions down to the smallest detail. I maintain a highly observant eye on environmental safety during neighborhood walks, check for secure leashes, and strictly avoid interaction with unfamiliar animals. I also provide real-time updates and clear photo check-ins after every visit so you have total peace of mind.

About: My experience with animal care goes back to my childhood. Growing up in a house with two cats and one dog, I’ve had exposure to the important needs, including care, love, and attention to both Cats and Dogs. The Cats from my childhood were given the proper love and attention they needed to live a very long, healthy life up until the ages of 16 and 20, with the eldest passing in early January of 2024. With this comes my experience in care for senior animals as well as animals with certain disabilities. My eldest cat became blind at around the age of 17 due to kidney disease, and we were able to maintain her quality of life despite this condition for 3 wonderful more years. Additionally, I grew up in a home with a rescue shiatsu/lhasa apso for several years where I learned about the complexities and differences of care between cats and dogs. Throughout my college years I spent many days caring for dogs of nearby friends and family, such as the two beautiful goldens as seen in my photos! Since moving to LA 3 years ago, I’ve become a regular at the Bluff Creek Dog Park, Glen Alla Park, and the Mar Vista Rec Center. I work a full time job hybrid style! I am in office during regular business hours on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, but available any other days during the week/weekend. I can easily watch for any animals in homes/apartments as need be. I am highly aware of my surroundings and predicting animal actions if briefed on their behavior prior to my care. Additionally, I live in a very secure apartment/duplex with some outdoor space . Happy to chat and walk through the best care options for your pet as needed.

“Beyza was amazing with our cat, Strawberry. Even though it was their first time meeting, they bonded very quickly and Strawberry felt comfortable with her right away. During every visit, Beyza spent quality time playing with Strawberry, brushing him, and making sure he received plenty of attention and care. She was very responsible with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning the litter box, and keeping an eye on everything while we were away. Whenever there was anything worth mentioning, she proactively reached out and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind during our trip. I would absolutely book Beyza again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive cat sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Strawberry!”

About: I have two dogs and one cat currently but three cats in the past! I love all animals and feel connected towards them. I have been working specifically dog walking and sitting for about two years on apps like wag. I am a psychology major and want to work with service animals in the future! I am in school finishing up my degree and minor and mostly do online. I want to work with service animals so dog walking and sitting is a perfect way to gain experience and knowledge on all different kinds of animals and breeds. I care immensely and treats all animals like my own. I want people to be able to feel comfortable with me around their animals and inside their home. I know it takes a lot of trust and vulnerability to let someone you don’t personally know inside your home, so i want to make the experience for everyone as easy as possible. I like to give updates and response quickly to pet parents.

About: Hiya! My name is Consuelo. I am new to Redondo Beach, but lived in Denver for 7 years and throughout my years there I have took care of my friend's pets, dogs & cats. At times where they had events where they had to leave their pets alone for a long time, I always enjoyed stepping in to give their fur babies the love they need while their parents were away. I've bathed and administered medicine for dogs so far. I don't have experience injecting medicines for them but have given dogs and cats oral and eye medicine. I love to take the fur buddies out for walks, some short some long, depending on the weather or if they have any in injuries. Spending time with them has been for me the most enjoyable of times. I work part time and am up early so I have the flexibility to help with the pups to give them a little walk and a little love. I make sure the pets feel safe first of all and respect their boundaries. I follow their schedule and listen to their needs to make sure they're happy.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child, and I do believe it is my purpose in life! I have worked at dog day care facilities and rehab clinics for sick / injured wild animals, where I received training in CPR, medication administration and behavioral training. PLEASE NOTE: I can only board dogs that are under 50lbs in my home. However, I am more than happy to walk / drop-in on dogs of any size! I love all animals, but particularly more challenging ones are my favorite :) (I.e energetic puppies, grumpy oldies and quirky personality traits.) I will love your animal(s) as if they are my own! With plenty of play time, outdoor exploration and socialization to ensure your baby is happy and well taken care of. *** Please don’t hesitate to message me if you have any other pets that are not dogs / cats, I can take care of them as well during drop-ins / overnight visits if needed. I work full time as an animal care taker from our home with my partner. This is our full time job and we absolutely love every minute of it. I have a fenced yard with 2 cats and 2 dogs at home for plenty of socialization and playtime. I can also crate your pup if needed, as well as separate my animals from them if needed as well.

About: What truly sets me apart is my nearly 20 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine. As a seasoned veterinary technician, I don’t just provide loving care—I bring a trained eye for subtle changes in behavior, health, and comfort that others might miss. I’m experienced in administering medications, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with medical needs, so you can feel confident your pet is in capable, knowledgeable hands. Beyond my medical background, I genuinely love building trust with every pet I care for. I understand that every animal is unique, and I tailor my approach to match their personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s extra patience for a shy pup, attentive monitoring for a senior cat, or energetic playtime for an active dog, I provide care that goes above and beyond standard pet sitting. With me, you’re not just hiring a sitter—you’re gaining peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for by someone with professional veterinary experience and a true passion for animal wellbeing. Pet care isn’t something I fit into my day—it *is* my day. I’ve intentionally dedicated my full-time focus to providing attentive, high-quality care for the pets and families I work with. This allows me to be fully present, flexible, and responsive to each pet’s unique needs and routine. I strive to offer a concierge-style experience for my clients, with reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and a level of detail-oriented care that goes beyond the basics. Because I’m not balancing another full-time role, I’m able to prioritize consistency, availability, and a calm, unhurried approach—something pets truly benefit from. My goal is to make your life easier and your pet’s experience as comfortable and seamless as possible, while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they are my top priority. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their own familiar environment, surrounded by the sights, smells, and routines they know best. My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care in your home while maintaining the routine and level of attention your pet is accustomed to. Each pet is unique, so I tailor my visits to meet their individual needs—whether that means daily walks, playtime and enrichment, medication administration, feeding routines, litter box care, or simply providing companionship and reassurance while you’re away. With nearly 20 years of veterinary experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including seniors and those with medical needs. I take pride in offering a concierge-style pet care experience with thoughtful communication, detailed updates, and a commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving not only reliable care, but genuine love, attention, and understanding in the comfort of their own home.

About: I never lived in a home that didn’t have an animal. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, even rats. I currently live with a cat and two dogs. I am aware of the patience and attention animals require and have nothing but admiration for our furry friends. I would be more than pleased to get to know some of the locals. I’m your classic Montanan. I love being outside as much as the rest. I know my way around our in town trails and neighboring mountains to show our fine furry beasts a good time. I can speak fluently with your animals and I’m good at cuddling and pets and a few doggy kisses never scare me. Looking forward to my future adventure with your pride and joys! I work from home on my time, so breaks and playtime will be determined by your fur baby. If they want to play, it’s time to play! I can cater to any needs your animal may have, wether they want to play fetch or cuddle on the couch, there’s a place for that.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, neighbors, and roommates for several years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and providing companionship for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine and making them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog like my own. My schedule varies from week to week, but I do my best to be flexible and accommodate my clients needs. I’m available for drop in visits, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends. I’m reliable with communication and will always keep pet owners updated with photos and messages while they’re away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big decision. I always follow care instructions closely, maintain a clean and respectful environment, and prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs so they feel secure while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for family members since high school and have loved being around animals ever since. I’ve also had cats of my own throughout the years, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I especially enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they get a good, enjoyable walk and plenty of attention along the way. I have experience caring for small puppies as well. While I’m not a dog trainer and don’t have experience administering medications, I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I'm currently working very flexible hours and have time to share with your beloved pets. I can do mid day walks, morning walks, weekend care and can be flexible with what you need. I have a fenced front yard, but most of the care would be in my 2 level townhouse or on-leash outside. I have a designated spot for food and water. My cat would be sleeping or hiding and I'd always have eyes on your pet.

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 .

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 .

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 , 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.
