About: I love pets and I’ve taken care of dogs for friends and family, along with my own pup for 10 years. Im also experienced with senior dogs. I work from home full-time, which makes it easy for me to adapt my schedule to pet sit on your preferred schedule. I’m also very punctual and great at accommodating your needs! I can pet sit at your home, vacation home, hotel, or wherever you might need me. For house/pet sitting, I will send a daily update/photos at the minimum, but can send more depending on your preferences. I’m here to ensure your pup is safe and well taken care of while you’re away! Please note that I require confirmation of flea preventative treatment before pet-sitting. I have a flexible, work-from-home schedule and no kids which allows me to have a very adaptable schedule to pet sit. I’m up early and adjust walk schedules based on temperature in the desert. I can do drop-in or pet sitting at your home. I’m very clean and tidy and will take care of your pets as if they were my own!
“Sophia was amazing with my dog and so professional. She was great about communicating and sending updates of her visit. She also took the best pictures of my dog. I would highly recommend Sophia!”
“I have three large dogs — which is no small feat — and finding someone I trust with them is everything. Our sitter was absolutely incredible. She didn’t just watch them; she was fully engaged, spending more time playing with them than I usually get to myself. My dogs can be a handful, and she handled them with so much energy and love. I came home to three happy, tired pups, which says it all. Highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with big or high-energy dogs!”
About: I care for animals as if they are my own. I was raised around dogs my entire life and enjoy there company. I have been pet sitting since I was 14 and have enjoyed it every day! I am full open at the moment. I was recommended this app by my cousin and I am thrilled to give it a try. I work evening events typically for 4 hours. I on average work about 2-3 days out of the week. I would play with the pup and give them all the scratches that they could ask for. I make sure that the environment not only meets the parents standards but the pups as well.
About: Lover of all animals. 20 years experience with our own dogs and others both HUGE and Small. Recently said goodbye to our old boy (a Large Great Weimar) and looking to spend some time with new doggy friends until we get our next. Extensive history with senior dogs and all of the care that goes along with that (assisted bathroom walks, pill schedules, dog bed changing, pee pads, etc), especially patience and love. Also happy with long walks or hikes for the adventurous tail waggers out there! My husband works from home full time, and I currently am available to give my full attention to our pet friends. So walks and attention at any time are not a problem. We have a large fenced in yard with additional barriers that can be added if needed. Lots of grass and play areas for fetch available. We also live in a gated golf community, with many paths and trails for any length of walks and play.
“Kimberly is a wonderful Cat Sitter and I know that I will use her again to take care of my two cats. Over the Thanksgiving week, she came twice a day to feed and pet my kitties. One cat is very old and Kimberly would give her food near her cat bed, and lots of scratches under the neck. My other cat is an 8 year old male who is very affectionate and loves to meet people. Kimberly talked to him and brushed him after she fed him each time. She treated my cats with LOVE - as if they were her own pets. Kimberley is a truly incredible Pet Sitter!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 15. I help family and friends take care of their fur babies. I also have two little doggies of my own. I am a full time student and have a job during the weekdays Monday through Friday but always off by 6pm. I have plenty of time after work on the weekdays if needed for anything. I am free on the weekends to spend plenty of time with your animals. I am a reliable and trustworthy caregiver who treats every home and pet with respect and care. I prioritize safety, follow all instructions closely, and ensure animals feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away.
“Katie was amazing! She was so engaging with my cat, Dexter. The photos and daily comments showed how much she cared and related to Dexter. That made me feel so at ease, knowing that he was in such good hands. I will definitely book Katie again - it’s a 5 star review!”
About: As a pet person myself, I work to provide the best of care for other’s pets and keep owners updated on these ones that feel like family. I can feed, walk, play and love on your pets. I work about 4 hours a day elsewhere most days of the week. I am usually not away from pets longer than that. I am available to stay or drop in 7 days of the week (unless already booked). I strive to stick as close as I can to feeding schedules that are already set. I want pets to thrive in any part of the house they are allowed in. I abide by any boundaries or restrictions set by owners.
About: I’ve always felt drawn to animals, even as a toddler, and I’m grateful they have always been in my life one way or another. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, parrots, bunnies and I’m 200% comfortable around all types of animals, including yours! Most of my happiest memories of a child include being around dogs and I have continued to be involved in their care in professional as well as volunteer-based ways. I consistently donate my time to rescues by fostering them, setting up adoption events and volunteering at shelters. I’m also the kind of person who will stop to say hello to a dog walking past me in the street. I adopted my own five-year old rescue, Pippin, who LOVES other pups and is happy to keep them company with me when boarding a dog in our home. I’m an active individual…exercise is very important to me—both for myself and Pippin, and I am a great match for high-energy dogs. At a bare minimum (unless otherwise specified by the owner), I make sure we walk for at least an hour and if your pup needs more exercise, I am more than capable of exercising for multiple hours! I go above and beyond with communication by sending regular photo, video and text updates in real time so you know your pup is healthy, happy and secure when in my care. I also make sure I understand your pup’s usual schedule and then do my best to stick to their regular feeding times, activity times (and level) and play their favorite games. Does your pup like hiking? Great, because I do too! In short, I get to know my clients’ dogs’ favorite things to do and then make sure our time together is a healthy mix of the activities they enjoy. It can be difficult for a pup to trust a new person right off the bat so I take the time to earn their trust through belly rubs, ear scratches, cuddles and healthy treats. I have over two decades of experience caring for all types of breeds, temperaments and sizes, and I do whatever it takes to understand their quirks and then tailor my care to their specific needs. I work as a freelance copywriter but besides that my schedule is wide open for pet care during the evenings and on weekends. I have a student mindset and am always interested in learning as much as I can to provide your pup with the best care possible. Send me a message, I can’t wait to meet you!
About: I have experience and a lot of love for all type of animals I care for them as they were my own, Its very important to me that you have the peace of mind that your pet is in a safe and happy environment while you are away from them. I have a lot of availability at this point, I'm working towards fulfilling my dream of having a mobile pet care and be able to have my own business. I have a fenced yard that will keep your pet save and also I have a dogs park near by that they enjoy to play at and make furry friends.
About: With over 11 years of hands-on cat care experience, I bring a depth of understanding that goes far beyond basic sitting. My background includes working with animal shelters, caring for energetic kittens, supporting senior cats with special routines, and raising my own three cats, each with their own unique needs and personalities. This range has taught me how to read feline behavior, adapt quickly, and provide calm, confident care in any situation. I’m especially attentive to routine, cleanliness, and emotional comfort. Whether a cat needs gentle patience, playful engagement, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to what helps them feel safest and most at ease. I treat every cat as an individual—not a checklist—and my goal is always for pet parents to feel complete peace of mind knowing their cat is in experienced, compassionate hands. I’m a full-time pet sitter, which means your cats receive my full attention—not rushed visits squeezed around another job. My flexible schedule allows me to spend quality time with your pets, closely monitor their needs, and adjust care as needed to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I strive to maintain a peaceful, secure environment in your home so your pets feel comfortable and stress-free. From following routines to keeping your space tidy and secure, safety and trust are always my top priorities.

About: Ever since I was a kid I’ve always had a dog and my family friends have always asked me to take care of their dogs while away. I adapt to any special instructions you may have and am very attentive to them. I believe that dogs are such amazing animals and they deserve the best care!! I work part time right now and do online school at the same time so my schedule is quite flexible. I drive and have a mini suv so if need be I can transport your dog and even take them to vet visits! I am able to check on your dogs throughout the day whether it’s to take them outside, feed them, or take them on a walk.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - La Quinta
Sophia was fantastic for our Maple for drop-in visits! She took note of all of our requests and remembered them. Maple was always taken care of and happy when we got home. She even went above and beyond to bring in packages, ensure music was playing for our girl, and gave all of the sweet love to her too! We will gladly book her again.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .

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 .
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.
