About: I've had a dog for 15 years. Friends and family have relied on me to pet sit, walk, feed, and/or check in on their fur babies. Currently job searching so have all the free time in the world to look after your dogs! They will be my number one priority when they are in my care! I live in a home with a fenced yard and very safe, walkable neighborhood. I am available for whatever service needed, including pet-sitting, walking, check-ins, feedings, etc.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I have owned big dogs (Dalmatian and Golden Retrievers) as well as small dogs (Poodle mix). Taking care of dogs is a privilege because they give so much back to you. I am currently working part time from home with flexible hours so I will have plenty of time to look after your pet. I can adjust my schedule accordingly to fit into your desired needs I have a fenced yard but it would have to be up to my roommates to see if I could house your dog for a period of time
“I had a last-minute request, and Daniel responded promptly and came to the rescue! He was very professional from checking in with me a few hours before to ask if I had any special preferences and to learn any details about my two precious doodles. The pups liked him right away and Daniel took good care of them, doing the two walks I requested and staying with them and playing with them. He’s sweet, polite, and professional. I’ll definitely request him again in the future!”
“I felt so much at ease going on our vacation with Caroline watching our fur babies! She took amazing care of our cats and home! One of our cats needs medication and she was great with him!

You can just feel her love for your animals!! THANK YOU AGAIN!!”
“Patty did check in visits with our cat twice a day for two weeks. Our cat is quite anxious and I was worried about leaving her but I quickly felt at ease knowing that Patty was coming twice a day and communicating regularly with lots of detail about how the cat was doing and everything else related to the house. Patty went above and beyond, offering to bring in packages and checking the house for accidents. I would highly recommend hiring her to care for your pets, she is loving and patient and reliable. We will definitely be hiring her again”

About: Hi! I have two dogs of my own and have lots of experience. My first dog I’ve had for 9 years and the other we just got last year and he is 1! I have experience with old dogs and puppies and lots of different personalities! My dogs health and wellbeing are so important to me so I hope I can share and helps with other dogs! I currently work a part-time job so I have time to help with and care for your pets! I can also be very flexible if needed! I will only come to clients homes because of my two dogs at home. I want to make sure your pets are in the best possible place and want to keep my dogs safe as well just in case their personalities don’t match! I will gladly help at clients homes and care for them as needed:)
“Kristie has watched our doggies a few times and she has been wonderful to both our Bob and Roxy. We have a very anxious older dog and she has been so patient with her. She is always on time and provides regular updates/pictures which makes me feel at ease. She always makes sure that our dogs are calm before she leaves them at the end of her dog sit. We appreciate her so much.”
About: I’ve always been a total cat person! Whether it’s a playful kitten or a seasoned nap champion, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of feline friends: energetic, shy, purr machines, and everything in between. I understand that each cat has different needs…whether that’s active playtime, quiet companionship, or just someone who knows how to give the perfect chin scratch. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, and low-stress environment. I keep their routine consistent, from feeding schedules and litter box care to making sure they have clean, cozy spots to relax. I’m also a bit of a neat freak, so their space stays fresh and tidy (no stinky boxes or spilled kibble here!). I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort, and I’m quick to notice if something seems off. You’ll get updates and photos so you can feel confident your cat is doing well and probably living their best life. Cat sitting, for me, is more than just a job. It’s a chance to bond, provide comfort, and be a trustworthy stand-in while you’re away. I genuinely love being part of their day and making sure they’re not just safe, but happy, relaxed, and completely spoiled. I babysit or run errands occasionally during the week, but I’m just five minutes away. It’s easy for me to stop by as needed. I have plenty of time to give your cat attention and care when it matters most. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed and at home. I’m mindful of keeping doors and windows safe, removing any hazards, and ensuring they always have fresh water, a clean litter box, and their favorite cozy spots. I pay close attention to their behavior and health, and I’m quick to notice if something seems off. Whether they’re playful or prefer quiet time, I tailor their care to make them feel safe, seen, and loved.
“She is the most caring and sweet person. In addition, the four dogs loved her and felt an immediate bond. Please use Saeedeh without reservation. I’ll definitely be asking her to watch my pups again. Love the videos too!”
About: I have taken care of my animals my entire life. I have owned horses, dogs, cats, reptiles, rabbits, and fish. I have experience for caring for high needs senior dogs that require medication. I am happy to stay overnight to watch your pets or do drop in visits during the day. I am a masters student in Forensic Psychology and am taking flexible online classes. I am available during the week and weekends. I am very flexible! I am happy to come to your home and stay overnight or come for daily visits to check on your pet and ensure their needs are met.
“Anu checked in on my dog multiple times for a few days. She was so sweet to him and made sure he had everything he needed. Her updates to me were detailed with a lot of great photos that ensured me my dog was in great hands! Will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I grew up with two pugs that were around for my entire childhood and into my teen years. I have experience in caretaking for senior dogs with medical issues. I have 20+ years of experience with dogs (7 of those years were spent professionally dogsitting). I also spend my free time as a volunteer at Pug Nation LA and I absolutely love it!! I moved from Hawaii last year where I was a popular dog sitter in my area with several regulars. I'm excited to meet more dogs and take on new clients! I'm located in South OC (Laguna Beach, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, Aliso Viejo, Dana Point, Laguna Niguel). If you’re interested and in my radius, please book a meet and greet with me ASAP. Also, I exclusively watch dogs and I will NOT accept a booking with any other animals (cats, birds, hamsters, etc). I accepted a job as a substitute teacher in South OC! I love that this new role is flexible and works well with my dogsitting schedule :) However, that does mean I am out of the house for up to 8 hours each day during the work week. If your dogs cannot be left alone that long then I can only dogsit for you on weekends (Fri night-Sun night). My care for pets includes a clean house, packages and mail brought in, plants watered, plenty of pictures of your dogs, treats, toys, text updates everyday, daily walks, etc.
“Daly was incredible. My family and I were out of country for 2 weeks on vacation. We had never left our dog with anyone before and we were very nervous about it. Daly is very sweet and confident around us and our dog. Our dog was 1year and very high energy at times, but Daly was un-phased by the challenge. She has a lot of experience around animals and it shows. Being on complete opposite times zones was challenging, but Daly sent video, photos, updates and questions along the way to make sure we were informed about our dog everyday. It was absolutely perfect. I have no concerns about recommending her to friends and family and she will definitely be our dog’s go-to caregiver in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ladera Ranch
We needed a cat sitter for two a day visits while we were on vacation. We met with Dawn prior to leaving to get to know one another and to go over our expectations. Our cat, Molly, is typically shy with strangers. Dawn took her time with Molly and she let Dawn pet her, give her chin scratches and brush her on each visit. Everything was well taken care of, the house was clean and we received regular texts and pictures to let us know how everything was.

He was very professional from checking in with me a few hours before to ask if I had any special preferences and to learn any details about my two precious doodles.

Riley was a huge help. She was very responsive and was able to watch our pups last minute. Our pups were treated so well. She checked in with us periodically and made sure they were taken care of through all the check ins. Highly recommend, will definitely rebook!
Ailen was a wonderful pet sitter for our cat and 2 dogs! She was able to watch our pets for a week on short notice and was extremely thorough with her care for them. She is an exceptional communicator, and kept us up-to-date on all things happening while we were away.

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 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.

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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
