About: I have 10 years of professional dog training experience. I trained in all positive reinforcement. I trained all breeds of all ages. I’m also skilled in walk and trains. I also have a great knowledge of food. I can clip or dremel nails and brushing. I am currently working part time at home and have plenty of time to Train, walk or watch you pet. I can’t wait to meet your pet. My extensive knowledge of dog and cat care will give my clients the peace of knowing I am capable of providing safe and loving care for their pet. Safety is my #1 goal.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was little. I have always enjoyed taking care of animals of all kinds! I kept reptiles and chinchillas growing up and also had quite a few geckos. I currently have my dog Nova and cat Ninja to take care of. I love them to pieces and that love alone has helped friends and family keep me in mind when it comes to going on fun walks, feeding, and sometimes with bathing! I was even given an award in high school voted as biggest Animal Lover. That was in 2015 and it hasn’t changed a bit! I run my own business so I’m very flexible with my time. I also have my own dog that I walk daily on a routine and with daily dog park time. We go on morning walks to the beach, she gets walked all the way to the dog park a block away and spends a lot of time outside. Pet care is and has always been apart of my daily routine! I love in an apartment and currently I am at max capacity for animals in my home, however, you can trust that your pets will be taken care of with the same love I give my own. I have worked with dogs of all ages and sizes. Whether we are going on a walk or taking them to the dog park I can handle your pets needs. I did go to school for wildlife rehabilitation and can administer most medications if need be. I am very patient and loving when it comes to all pets, so whether you have a grumpy ole pup or a shy one, I am more than happy to take my time making sure they are comfortable in my care. I have experience with most reptiles, including snakes, amphibians, geckos, and most lizards. I do not have a lot of experience with birds but I am always learning!
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. My dad was a dog rescuer in Puerto Rico and later on in life he started working at kennels where I learned about dog safety, living standards, and got to enjoy hanging out with dogs all day. I am currently a full time college student who loves animals. I have open availability since I do not rely on a full time job. I am doing this because of my love of animals and the amount of free time I have as a college student. When I take care of pets in my clients’ homes, I am very clean, loving, and responsible. I ensure their environment is safe and comfortable, giving pets the attention and care they deserve.
About: I have past professional babysitting and nannying experience and I believe if you can leave your child under my care than a pet should be the same! I've had 2 German shepards that I have trained myself along with countless other doggies I've watched and taken care of I’m reliable, detail oriented, and flexible with scheduling. Whether you need a quick drop-in visit, daily walks, overnight care, or extended pet sitting, I’m committed to providing dependable care and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I am a college student so my schedule is wide open. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, administering medications, cleaning up, and sticking to your pet’s routine, I understand that consistency is key to keeping them happy and stress free. My goal is to care for your pet as if they were my own.
“Isabella did a great job taking care of our senior cat. She communicated right away when Punkin was too stressed and anxious to give her medicine. She suggested another way which worked well. The communication every day through Rover eased my mind about leaving Punkin by herself. We will definitely be using Isabella again.”
About: Animals have always been more than a hobby to me—they're my career and my passion. I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals and have worked professionally as both a zookeeper and veterinary technician. I'm currently earning my Bachelor's degree in Animal Health & Behavior, giving me an even deeper understanding of animal behavior, health, and welfare. I've cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and small mammals, and I'm comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs an adventurous walk, patient care as a senior, medication, or simply someone to make them feel safe while you're away, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the same love and attention I'd want for my own pets! As a full-time online Animal Health & Behavior student, I have the flexibility to provide dependable care throughout the day instead of rushing between jobs. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, evening visit, or overnight care, I'm able to give them the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care while treating both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. With my experience as a former zookeeper, veterinary technician, and current Animal Health & Behavior student, I'm comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, administering medications when needed, and caring for pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. I'll follow your pet's routine closely and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
“Vanessa was amazing! We were in an extremely rough position and I had to find a place for Figgy in the middle of the night, and she was able to take him the next day. She gave me frequent updates with adorable pictures of my baby and eased my mind throughout this situation. She was even able to keep him for longer when the situation did not resolve itself. I would give her 10 stars if I could!”
About: I'm the guy who gets called when you get called in but haven't taken poor pookie out for a walk, the one who's there as you're planning your weekend get away, cats, dogs, birds of all sizes and personalities. Call me a day ahead for any inquiries to discuss distance and needs and I'll work on the time that they need for the best pet support. Communication is key and quite frankly unavoidable, I like to let the pet themself feel me out. You can pay me to come but only your pet can want to keep me around.
“Suhail was very sweet to Ziva, very atttentive. When watching on the furbo she spoke very kindly to Ziva & I appreciate her respecting my no shoes rule in the house because of Ziva's condition. She also went above and beyond washing her hands to prevent germs. As well as helped Ziva correct her standing position every time she would topple. Lots of cuddles. Highly recommend.”

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 .

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.
