“Scott is always wonderful. This is my second time booking him for drop in visits with my cat while I’m out of town. He makes me feel at ease knowing my fur baby is in great hands. He is very flexible, i had to make some last minute adjustments to my booking and he was able to assist me with this. I definitely recommend him to anyone needing pet sitting services. I will definitely be rebooking with him anytime I am out of town. Thank you so much Scott!”
“Very communicative, sent text/photo updates which accommodated me being in/out of phone service. Made sure cats got attention along w/ basic needs at each visit. Highly recommend! Our babies love Victoria & she’s our sitter of choice!”
“Sierra did an amazing job of watching our fur babies while we were away. She eased our anxieties and sent us updates when she would check in. Sierra was patient with our pups and we couldn’t have asked for things to go any smoother. We will definitely be rebooking with Sierra anytime we need a pet sitter.”

About: I love dogs and owning 2 has inspired me to work with more. I am a graduate of Animal Behavior College where I earned my certification as a Dog Trainer. Animal Behavior College (ABC) is approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education and is an internationally recognized institution. My year long commitment to this program has provided me with a formal education in canine obedience training and a professional understanding of canine behavior. My certification and skills will ensure your dog is in good hands. I am available 7 days a week because I own 2 dogs of my own and I also work from home. Availability may vary during holidays. For boarding and daycare clients must be crate trained to ensure the safety of everyone. Facilities include an outdoor run that is turfed and equipped with showers to keep clean and a misting fan system for hot days, along with an assortment of chew toys and snacks and elevated beds. All clients sleep indoors in an air conditioned room.
“Second time working with Alexis and we are very grateful for her. She went above and beyond for us when she came into the home for a check in and noticed our dog was shaking and scared because of a beeping noise in the house. She went out of her way to help fix the problem to calm our dog. Very appreciate!”
About: I have a special place in my heart for senior pets. For the past 25 years, I have been a foster parent to senior cats. Giving them the love and comfort and individualized care they deserve period. I have had up to 11 different types of cats in my home at a time. I also would feed and take care of the feral cats as well. If they would get sick I took them to the vet and would take care of them. Some could go back out side a few need to have inside care for they rest of there life. I have a very flexible schedule since I'm a real estate agent. Which is an independent contractor I have plenty of time during the day and at evening to take care of your fur babies and make sure that they're healthy and happy. I have 5 cats at home. They are all seniors, Persians, very well taken care of and spoiled. They have the run of the house. They have their own room which is the sunroom that I had rebuilt for them. With lots of light but yeah, cool enough in the summer and warm enough in the winter for them. And my brother also helps play with them. And take care of them.
About: I’ve always had dogs ever since I can remember; we’ve had big and small dogs. I give my dogs food at a timed time, I walk them, I bathe them and I play with them. I take care of my aunts cat I feed her, play with her and I also clean her litter. I am able to give multiple updates of your pet throughout the day to allow you to have a peace of mind, I know I would be worried if my dogs were away from me for too long as well :). I have a big back yard where your little ones can play and run. I am currently doing summer school for Fresno state I am available in the afternoons after 2pm, I’ll have plenty of time afterwards. Since it’s hot right now I typically go on walks at night. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space to run and play with, I have one senior dog who sleeps all day and one puppy who is playful but if needed I also have a crate and a dog fence.
About: I've been caring for animals my entire adult life and after changing careers I decided to pursue something that makes me enjoy my work. I spent several years volunteering for a local shelter dealing with situations that included large and small breed dogs. Recently (the last 4 years) I've opened my home mostly to short term fosters that need a temporary place before finding forever families. This process has given my ample experience in home settings where I'm now extremely comfortable interacting with animals unfamiliar with me or a new environment. I can provide Play Time, Walking, Park Trips, Long Distance Day Trips, Feeding, and even Poo Removal. I'm new to Rover but you won't find someone with more practical experience and passion than myself so please get in contact if you would like to meet ! Currently I'm working part-time so my schedule is typically open 5 days a week but I'm sure arrangements can be made depending on the situation. I have a large fenced yard and three friendly dogs of my own to keep visitors company. If you require in home care I will treat your property as if it was my own.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 10 years old. I’ve had dogs in my house since I was 10 and have taken care of puppies before as well. I’m currently unemployed and at home for the summer, so I have a lot of free time to devote to taking care of your babies! Any and all types of service I can do, from overnight stays to drop ins and check ups. I have experience taking care of untrained puppies and I can keep up with very energetic dogs. I can walk, feed and play with dogs or give them space as needed. I’m very respectful of animals and their owners’ wishes.
“Belinda cared so lovingly for my cat. I usually feel worried about leaving her home alone. This time I didn’t feel like that because I knew she was in good hands and getting excellent care during my trip. I would definitely book with Belinda again.”
“Thank God for Rover. Grace is amazing! She is so reliable, trustworthy, and exudes nothing but positive energy. Our dogs loved her instantly and we are SO grateful to have met her. I would never trust anyone but her with our pups and our home. Thank you so much Grace.”
“Stevie was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs. She took great care in walking them, feeding them, and making sure they felt happy and comfortable. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such kind and capable hands.”
“This was my first time hiring Mary Jane and she did great. She was very communicative from the very beginning. She provided me with photos of my dogs during each visit and made sure to feed them and clean up after them during each visit. We came home to safe and happy dogs.”
“Our first time booking Audra for drop ins on our 2 dogs. She was prompt with her visits and our dogs have special food needs and medications that she accommodated. Will def book again”

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.

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.
