About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, geckos, hamsters, fish, ducks, and rabbits. Animals have always been a big part of my home, and I treat every pet like family. Currently, I share my home with three cats and a dachshund, and I understand the importance of patience, routine, and lots of love when it comes to pet care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply keeping your pet comfortable while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe and happy. I’m currently working from home so I have the flexibility to provide care to any fur babies. I like to wake up early so I can start my day off right and give pets the needed routine for an active and healthy day. Although it’s not very large, I have a fenced yard, which will allow for fur babies to play or simply soak up some fresh air. I also live minutes from the Station 86 dog park as well as have a grass area in my community, which is gated.
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats since I was 5 years old, giving me more than 40 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I understand that every animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I take the time to provide the individualized care, patience, and attention each pet deserves. Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, medication (if needed), and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, maintaining their regular routines, or simply providing comfort and affection, I enjoy making pets a priority and treating them like family. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routines and keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their personalities, preferences, and routines. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Sophia is the best. She is so friendly and communicative, and our pets love her. It gives me such peace of mind to know she’s tending to my fur babies when I’m gone. Highly recommend her!”
“Joy did an amazing job with our fur babies. Very professional and updated us on her visits to the house which made my vacation much more relaxing knowing my pets were in good hands. I definitely recommend her services and I planned to continue my services with Joy.”
“Sorry we forgot to leave you a bag for the cat poop! Thank you so much for loving them as much as we do! It warms our hearts knowing they trust and love your company too :)) until next time”
About: We love dogs! We are a very caring family and will take great care of your fur baby! My daughters are 12, 9, and 5 and will probably spoil your dog a little too much My husband and I work from home, so we are able to give our full attention to your precious fur family member! My 2 youngest home school and love helping taking care of your pup as if they were their own! We live in an apartment that is a great size for your smaller to mid size dog. We also have a small area designated for dogs steps from out patio.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole like. Growing up my mom had a dog rescue so I was constantly caring and loving new fosters! Whether it was playing with the pups or giving medicine to the seniors, I enjoyed every minute of it. I am currently working part time so I am pretty flexible. I work morning shifts and am off before noon. I am able to work around what works best for you! My pets are usually with me 24/7. I have a closed off courtyard that my dogs enjoy wondering around. My pets have portioned meals and are on a feeding schedule. My dogs are walked either in the morning or at night to avoid the hot pavement. My cat is pretty independent but when he chooses to want attention, we play for however much time he thinks is needed. He also has a feeding schedule. I clean his litter box weekly and ensure the litter is scooped out once or twice a day.
About: I’m very active so I can keep up with very strong dogs who get major zoomies. I’m great with animals I treat them with love and kindness I can be pretty open to scheduling and working with your times. I do have a day job during the week but I can work something out if needed. I’m a very kind person to animals. I treat my pets with love and kindness. I try give them plenty of play time as well
About: I have had multiple pets since I was about 8 years old. For the past two years I have worked watching and sitting dogs and cats. I currently work and go to school but I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am great at time management. I am available weekdays and weekends if needed. I have a fenced in yard, and do not like to leave pets alone for more than 10 minutes. I am very involved and love animals.
“Jazmin is absolutely INCREDIBLE!! My puppy just went through surgery and needed to be watched very carefully. Jazmin not only did that, but also went out of her way to clean my dogs injury and deal with any other problems that arose. I was very relieved to find someone this trustworthy to watch my baby boy while I was at work each day. I 100% recommend contacting her!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have cared for and nursed four French Bulldogs, which has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to each dog's individual needs. Through that experience, I've become comfortable monitoring health concerns, maintaining routines, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I've also been around many different dog breeds throughout my life, so I'm confident handling a variety of temperaments and energy levels. My goal is to treat every pet like family and provide owners with peace of mind through reliable care and regular updates. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I've always been around dogs and enjoy spending time with them. While I am usually unavailable on Thursdays and Sundays, I do my best to be flexible and accommodate pet owners' needs whenever possible. As long as we stay in contact and communicate clearly, I can work with schedules to provide reliable care. I am committed to making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that pets are most comfortable when their routine stays consistent. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they're away. Having cared for and nursed four French Bulldogs and been around many different dog breeds, I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's individual needs and personality.
“Reyanah was very loving and caring! She went above and beyond to take care of our cat Kevin as if he was her own ❤️ The videos and pictures she sent were great and showed us how much Kevin loved having her over to play and take care of his needs. We’ll definitely be calling her every time whenever we need a pet sitter!”
About: I currently have three dogs, one is a puppy the other is a senior. All through my life I grew up around 5 ferrets some who needed special treatments. I saved 3 hamsters who died of old age in my care. Understanding cues that animals need are something I have gotten great at, I believe they know what they need to thrive in the condition avaliable. Pet care fits in my schedule because I am currently unemployed, I will be in college but will be back and forth due to classes not touching. Care for the pets is not up to me. Whatever instruction the owner has I will obey throughly. The owner knows best and I am there to ensure a safe ans nurturing environment while away. However keeping a close eye, check ups to see what the pets are up to, and breaks for their needs is what I will deliver.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 and know how to care for them the way they deserve. I’ve also taken care of many dogs at once. I love animals they bring me so much joy and love. I am currently a full time college student but walking a dog in between classes or after would be a great way to unwind. My weekends are always free and there’s no better way than to spend them with beautiful furry friends. I keep an eye on my dogs and keep an eye on the surroundings in order to detect any signs of danger in the area. I’ve always taken care of my pets as if they were me children.

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 Indio 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 .
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
