About: I’ve grown up caring for both dogs and cats and have years of experience with animals. I currently have cats of my own and understand how important it is to keep pets happy, safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m responsible, patient, and love giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m flexible and open to requests that fit within my schedule! My main focus is Rover and providing the best care possible for your pets. I’m happy to work with your needs and find a schedule that works well for both you and your pets. I’m not able to have dogs stay in my home because I have cats. I prefer to care for dogs in their own home, where they can stay comfortable and in their familiar environment. If your dog just needs a walk, some exercise, or time outside, I’d also be happy to take them to a local park or on a hike! 🐶🐾💕
“Having Vanessa do drop in's on our cat while we were away gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing that she would give him some love and take care of his food needs. She was very professional and made me feel confident that our kitty would be in good hands. When we returned from our trip, Benny (our cat) was relaxed and I knew that the drop in visits by Vanessa did not cause him anxiety. We would definitely book Vanessa again!”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have some experience caring for dogs and cats for family. Me myself have had cats and dogs in the past. I enjoy going on walks, playing with pets, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I’m patient, responsible, and pay attention to each pet’s needs. I’ll care for your pet and make sure they’re happy! I’m available throughout the week. Pet care fits into my routine naturally because I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I enjoy going on walks, playing, and giving attention to each pet, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I make sure the environment is safe and clean. I keep doors and gates secure, supervise pets during playtime, and make sure they have fresh water, food, and a comfortable space. I pay attention to their personality and needs, ensuring they feel relaxed and happy. I also follow any instructions you leave carefully so your pet is well cared for and safe at all times.
About: I don’t just watch pets, I build trust with them. By learning their routines and personalities, I create a calm, familiar experience that keeps them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I plan my weekly schedule around the pets in my care to ensure I can meet their specific needs—whether that’s regular walks, medication timing, feeding routines, or extra attention. I keep a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and owners can rely on dependable care. At this time, I offer pet care exclusively in my client’s home. While I’m not able to host pets in my own space, I’ve found that staying in their home keeps them more relaxed and comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routine, meals, walks, playtime, and any special care so they feel safe and well cared for while you’re gone.
About: Hi, I’m Mandy! I’m an Animal Science graduate from Cal Poly with a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for all kinds of pets. During college, I worked at a professional doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. My experience has taught me that caring for a dog is about more than just walks, meals, and playtime—it’s about understanding them. I’m very familiar with dog body language and behavior and pay close attention to the little things that tell me how a pup is feeling. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or somewhere in between, I take the time to get to know them and make them feel comfortable. Communication is a huge priority for me. If your pup gets injured, has an upset stomach, vomits, has diarrhea, starts acting differently, or simply seems a little “off,” I’ll let you know as soon as possible. You’ll never be left wondering how your pup is doing while they’re in my care! And because I know how much we all miss our pets when we’re away, I’ll provide daily report cards so you can keep up with all the fun, cuddles, walks, and adventures your pup had that day. 🐶💕 My goal is to give your pup the same patience, attention, and care I would want someone to give my own pets. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your furry family member! I currently work from home, so I’m home for most of the day and have plenty of flexibility to give your pup attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule can vary from day to day, but I’m generally able to work pet care into my routine and make sure your pup’s needs always come first. If I do need to step out for a little while -whether I’m grocery shopping, running an errand, meeting a friend -you can still feel confident knowing your pup is safe and cared for. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and settled before I leave and will always plan around their feeding, potty, medication, and exercise needs. I’m happy to discuss your pup’s specific routine and schedule ahead of time so we can find what works best for everyone! I live in an apartment with my two dogs and two cats, so my home is already a pet-friendly environment. My dogs are very well socialized and have experience being around dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. They have never been ones to instigate a fight, but I always prioritize safety and comfort when introducing animals. When caring for your pup, I’ll keep interactions with my own pets limited at first and will have my pets in a separate space when needed so your dog can settle in and feel comfortable without being overwhelmed. If you’re comfortable with it and your pup seems like a good match, I’d also be more than happy to gradually introduce them to my dogs after they’ve had some time to settle in. I do live in an apartment, but I have access to a fenced-in yard where I regularly take my own dogs to potty, stretch their legs, and get some outdoor playtime. I’m happy to give your pup plenty of opportunities to get outside as well, depending on their routine and needs.
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Higby
We couldn’t be happier with the care David provided for our little guy while we were away. Leaving a pet is always stressful, but David immediately put our minds at ease. He didn’t just stick to the basics of feeding and walking; he genuinely invested time into keeping him company, playing, and making sure he felt safe and loved. Coming home to a relaxed, happy pet told us everything we needed to know about the quality of care he received. Reliable, communicative, and truly attentive—David gets our highest possible recommendation. We’ll definitely be booking him again!
This was our third time booking with Vanessa, and we couldn't be happier. Our cat absolutely adores her, and seeing how well she treats our 'little man' gives us so much peace of mind while we're away. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everything is handled, and her 100% professional approach makes the whole process seamless. We trust her implicitly with our little dude!
Christianna was so great with my kitty 💛 We were out of the country for 2 weeks and I felt so comfortable knowing she was taking great care of our cat back home. She sent daily updates and photos and made sure she was brushed and got lots of love. We will definitely be using her in the future when we go out of town and I highly recommend her!
This was our fist time using Rover, and I didn’t really know what to expect, but Brittany went above and beyond when taking care of our pets. Every day she visited, she truly spent quality time with our pets, making the most of her visit and being sure to leave a special note on how they were doing and send us lots of pictures. I am so appreciate of her kindness and love for animals. Thank you so much Brittany! 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a 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.
