“Steven is great. He took excellent care of our big girl while we were out of town. He came over beforehand and made sure he knew everything he needed to. He sent photos and updates during every visit. He was friendly and trustworthy. We'll be requesting his services again and would highly recommend him!”
About: from fish, to chickens, to ducks, to birds, to cats and dogs, I've pet-sat them all! I regularly pet-sit for a friend whose house we affectionally call "the farm" because it has all these animals! I work at a school 8-3pm. During the holidays my schedule is quite flexible to take care of your more needy pets, and during the rest of the year I'm happy to hang with your low-maintenance furry friends! I take detailed notes on instructions from pet-owners on our initial meeting and repeatedly refer back to them throughout my stay. as for the pups, I love to walk them, especially the adventurous ones who are excited for a hike or longer adventure!
About: I started dog walking and doing cat play dates out of high school 11 years ago and loved it! I grew up with two large dogs and two cats in Portland, Oregon. Calm or animated, tall and long, short and stout, I take care of dogs & cats with all types of personalities, needs, and routines. I know dog & cat first aid through the American Red Cross and will go above and beyond to be a steward of your space. I study critical theory around the subjects of visual culture and land use at Portland State University online, so my schedule is open and adaptable to yours. My availability is completely open. I'm currently a student online, so I can adapt my schedule around whichever days and times you need help. I'm a patient, soft-spoken caretaker that allows a new fur friend to get to know me first. I'll walk the greenest routes in the area and cross the streets at the safest points. I walk at a steady pace and can check in with you and your pet during the walk or pet sit. We can play games or lounge around if that's more their style. I'll tend to your pet's grooming, diet, activity, and behavior specificities as well as any household tasks that accompany the visit.
About: What sets me apart is my background as an experienced veterinary technician. I can confidently care for senior pets, administer medications (including injections), recognize early signs of illness, and provide skilled, compassionate care for pets with special medical needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize building trust with both pets and their families through dependable, personalized care. I’m currently providing pet care full-time, which means I have the flexibility to give your furry family member the time, attention, and personalized care they deserve. Whether they need companionship, playtime, medication, or extra TLC, I’m committed to providing compassionate, skilled care while you’re away. When caring for your pet in their own home, I strive to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, exercise, fresh food and water, medication if needed, and lots of affection. I’ll also keep your home tidy, respect your instructions, and send regular photo and text updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
“Kenya was wonderful. She accepted a last min request and showed up to hang with my pup Sadie despite the rain. She was friendly and Sadie took to her immediately. I’ll definitely be booking Kenya again. Highly recommend!”
“Brandi was so nice, extremely professional, and very communicative. She gave our kitty the attention he needed during our long weekend away. It was great to get pictures of him on Christmas morning and know he was doing ok on his own. Brandi put us at ease!!”
“Angelique was so helpful and patient. My dog is on crate rest and isn't a lot of fun to sit for right now. Angelique basically sat by her side for the entire visit.”
“Lori was wonderful! She is super communicative and flexible. I felt immediately my cat was in good hands. He has stomach cancer and takes a regiment of medications and Lori picked it up so fast. I would definitely recommend and rebook Lori the next time. Thank you!!”
“Emily was an excellent communicator and consistent with her check-in times and care. We have an elderly cat and I immediately trusted that she was in good hands with Emily. It was a pleasure meeting her through Rover and I would definitely work with her again!”
About: I've taken care of friends, family members, and neighbors dogs for a few years. They have entrusted me to walk, care for, walk, and feed their dogs. I enjoy walking with them early mornings for sunrise! I am currently writing a book so my schedule is flexible, I would love to walk your dog in the mornings and evenings to start and end my days. I am flexible to caring for your dog in your home whether they need to be let out or placed in the crate immediately after our walks together.
“Liana was a wonderful cat sitter! She stopped by every day to check on our cat, made sure she was well-fed and happy, and gave her plenty of attention. We came home to a calm and content cat. Always a great sign. Reliable, communicative, and caring. Highly recommend!”
“Tracy was amazing, went out of her way to make the visits a fun experience for our frenchie. She kept us up to date with sweet notes and photos. We will absolutely reach out to her next time we need care. Highly recommended!”
“First time booking Sam as a drop in before a long stay coming up. She did a great job! The dogs seemed to really feel comfortable with their walk, playtime and meals!”
“Sara is wonderful! We have a pair of unique foster cats that Sara looked after while we were away. Even from the initial meeting, they took to her! She was so thoughtful and communicative in her care. She really went above and beyond. She shared wonderful photos of them both. We came home to healthy & happy cats. We greatly appreciate her and hope to work with her again in the future.”

Lindsey is the absolute best!!! I truly cannot say enough positive things. She gave my dogs so much love and attention, and provided both me and my partner separate, thorough text updates since we were away in different places. She also sent tons of adorable photos that really captured the dogs’ personalities and made me feel like she really got to know them. This was my first time using a Rover sitter in many years, as I’ve always had friends or family available to watch my dogs, but I just moved to LA and don’t have a reliable network of personal dog sitters, so I was really nervous about having a stranger take care of my boys while I was away, but Lindsey instantly made me feel at ease and like I’d known her forever. I would 100% trust her to watch my dogs again, and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will provide the same level of care to their pets that they would provide themselves.
The kitties were well fed and hydrated. The litter boxes were clean (minus the recent dumps the cat took after Nyssa left but that is nothing on her) and the house looked to be in good shape even though we could have left it cleaner. I'll be booking with Nyssa again.
Magdalena is an absolutely wonderful sitter/caregiver, and I definitely recommend her to any pet parent! 😃 She took time in advance (of the booking) to meet multiple times with my large rescue dog and patiently earned the trust of myself and my fur baby. 💛 She is lovingly in tune with animals; as she attentively watches and listens to them and all of their behaviors & communication-visible & non-visible. Magdalena is smart, thoughtful and caring in all the big & small details of caring for a precious pet and in keeping them safe & comfortable, either in your home or hers. In my case, she visited my dog in my home and went above & beyond in cautiously considering all the elements of my baby's health & safety; especially in the severe summer heat. She communicated kindly & thoroughly with my father and I, she sent me daily pics, videos and detailed reports on my dog's daily activities. I've had
Camille was very nice and communicative. We have very shy cats and this was their first visit with Camille. While they didn’t come out, it’s typical for them, and I think they will warm up to her quickly. She also let us know when we had a problem with some mail and was very helpful.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Highland Park stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
