If you need a walker, Im always open and available 24/7. I can also offer drop in visits. I am currently a college student looking for a side job. I will be going to school 4 days a week but I always have room for your furry friends. I treat all pets will love and respect that they deserve. Dogs are easily attached to me. Before I walk dogs, I make sure they are fed and hydrated and even after a walk.
“Jack is a great communicator and took excellent care of my pup! He accommodated my request on short notice, was prompt and I’d highly recommend him to anybody looking for pet care. I will definitely rebook him again.”
“Angela does so great with my dogs. She updates me all the time and keeps my dogs happy. This is the second time Angela has taken care of my dogs and I will continue having her take care of my dogs.”
About: Your doggie will receive extra care from me as I am a stay at home mom focused solely on pet sitting. We are an animal loving household in suburban Lakewood, CA with a large fenced backyard. We have a doggie door on the back door for our pups to go in and out as they please to play, run, or sunbathe (while I am home of course). I have the help of my awesome husband Ryan and our kids aged 10, 5 and 2. They know all about how to treat pets as they have grown up with our dogs. Your pup is welcome to snuggle with us on the couch and beds wherever they are most comfortable. I have 32 years of experience taking care of pets and have a love and passion for animals. I have very much enjoyed pet sitting with Rover since joining in 2019. I have doggie beds, bowls, toys, etc. here but you are welcome to bring any items your pet may like to have during their stay. I am usually available and always flexible with scheduling a meet n greet as well as drop off and pick up times to fit your busy schedule. I know how important finding a trusted and knowledgeable caretaker is for the furry member of your family! You can rest easy knowing they are in my care with regular updates and pictures.
About: Growing up in a rural environment with many kinds of animals has given me a unique perspective on connecting with them. I fed, cared for and played with many dogs and cats at one time and over a great many years. I look forward to treating your pet with the greatest of care and respect! Pet care is self care!! The worst of days can be made amazing faster by petting a dog or a cat than pretty much anything else in the world!! I have the deepest respect for your pet and your space. The only sign that I want to leave that I’ve been in your space is a happy pet!
About: I am an experienced dog trainer, walker and pet sitter and I pride myself on taking care of every animal as if they were my own. I currently teach puppy, adolescent and adult obedience classes and I am an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Evaluator. I am also a dog pack walker, typically walking 3-5 dogs at the same time and have learned the skills needed to maintain structure and calm during walks. I have volunteered at my local animal shelter since 2019 so I have extensive knowledge about different dog breeds and animal behavior. My experience has taught me that every animal has different needs and that patience and respect are the key to fostering a wonderful relationship. Pet care and dog training is my full time, primary role and I have a flexible schedule to meet the needs of all my clients. As a pet parent myself, I understand it can be stressful to trust your furry friend with a stranger, but rest assured that I am reliable, responsive and follow instructions closely so whether you are looking for a one time visit or on going care, your pet will be safe with me.
“Regina’s patient and great at assessing what my dogs need. She then gives me helpful feedback, and homework, to work on with them until I see her again. She’s very understanding and makes training manageable. Beyond grateful to be working with her.”
“Yasmin is the best sitter we could have asked for. She takes such great care with every single drop in. She loves our kitty like she’s her own. I never have a single worry when Yasmin is taking care of our baby!”
About: I’ve taken care of family’s pets and my own for the past 11 years. My dog is my baby and I will treat yours like one! Any type of help you need, I will exercise your pet, wash them, administer medicine. They will be well taken care of! Currently working full-time during the week. I am mostly available on weekends: Fridays: 6:30pm-night Saturdays: 1pm-night Sundays: all day I can make myself available on weekday nights 6:30pm - evening depending on the situation. Dogs will tell you what they need. I take them for potty breaks frequently and if they are telling me they want more play time I will give them extra play time. When they are more tired I will give them space to rest. Sometimes when they have attitude I have to be stern and tell them it’s not time for extra treats xD they like to be challenged so I do like to train them to do some tricks. My dog knows how to roll over, beg, and wait amongst several other tricks. Dogs like the direction and having a job to do. I have the patience to help them learn how to wait and walk properly on a leash without pulling. It takes time but it is doable!!
“Lincoln was very responsive, respectful, and thoughtful, and he asked great questions to make sure Myra was comfortable and well cared for. Myra absolutely loved spending time with him, and I had complete peace of mind leaving her in his care. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Lincoln again and would highly recommend him to any pet owner!”
About: I’ve had 2 bunnies and currently a 4 year old shitzu. I’ve also taken care of my family’s dogs in Nicaragua. From a Great Dane, Husky, Coker Spaniel, and random mixes. I’ll always treat any animal with kindness and respect I’m currently not working for the summer so I’m free almost all the time. I’m going to school from Monday-Thursday in the fall but I will update then. I will take care of your pets and your house to the upmost standard. I will bring my a game to match your pets energy while also making sure they’re good.
About: I've been around dogs all my life. Raised with at least 1 dog in the household my 30+ years of life up until recently. I've been watching dogs at my house and others' homes since my late teens. I've trained my own dogs since they were puppies into their adult lives, I have experience with caring for senior dogs needing extra assistance due to medical issues and administered medication in the past. Home full time, so I have lots of time for walks, playing, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. Occasionally will need to run out of the house for an hour or so, but pets are monitored with cameras while away. I have a fenced in backyard for your fur baby to run around, play fetch and tug a war, with plenty of tennis balls and toys to play with. Doggies are available to freely roam and play throughout the home. Crate (up to extra large size breed crate) available if your baby needs it. While your dog is here they are family and will be loved and cared for just like they are in your home.
“We were so grateful to have Jennylyn take care of our cat while we were out of town. She responded to our messages promptly and kept us updated with regular photos and reports. Our cat can be quite sassy, mischievous, and not always friendliest, but Jennylyn was very patient and handled things wonderfully. We felt at easy knowing our cat was in great hands. We'd definitely book with Jennylyn again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“This is the second time Raymond has petsat my two fur babies—a 46 lb goldendoodle and a 5 lb poodle—and once again, he was absolutely amazing. The first time I was gone for a full week, and when I came home, my dogs were so happy and content I honestly don’t think they even missed me! He walked them regularly, spoiled them with attention, and they were in heaven the entire time. On top of taking such incredible care of my pups, Raymond went above and beyond with my home as well. I returned to a clean, fresh-smelling house—no mess anywhere. He even took care of little things like tidying up and taking out the trash without me ever asking. Zero complaints, just two extremely happy pups who absolutely adore him. I couldn’t recommend Raymond more! The second time was yesterday and he again walked them twice, a total last min. Request and he made it happen! I'm super happy that I found Raymind and booked him! I will continue to use him from now on! I highly recommend him!”
“Anika, was just great with Marie. She had constant communication with me while i was away on vacation. She was also very punctual and very sweet with our kitty Marie. We were all so shocked when Marie let Anika pet her as she is a very shy and no new friends kind of gal. lol. Anika even offer to feed a little stray cat we usually feed. You are the best! Thank you ☺️”
“Grisel is incredible! Helped us last minute with a surprise trip that required visits, our kitties love her and we always come back to happy and healthy babies ❤️ she’s the best.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a child and have had multiple dogs of my own. I’ve been walking dogs for over 23 yrs for my friends, family and neighbors’ dogs and they do currently rely on me when they need their dogs walked and played with, or just spoiled with lots of love and attention. 🐶🐶❤️❤️❤️ I currently work freelance so my schedule is very flexible and I will have plenty of time to give full attention to puppies or any dogs that require extra or special attention. I have a fenced back yard and 2 friendly dogs of my own to play with your furbaby. I also take them to the park regularly and can take ur furbaby to the park or dog beach for a day of fun.

We love Serena! From the moment our pets met her they were at ease and happy! We felt immediately too that our dogs were going to be in great hands with her. She is incredibly responsive as well! It’s not always easy to find someone you trust to care for your pets but Serena is awesome! Highly recommend !!!
We first used Dolores's services a couple of years ago, but unfortunately, we missed the window to leave a review on Rover. We really regretted that because she absolutely deserved a wonderful five-star review even back then! So my husband and I were truly happy to have the opportunity to entrust our three cats to her care again. This is especially important to us because our cats are quite sensitive to stress, and their comfort and peace of mind mean everything to us. We were so happy to see that they remembered Dolores, weren't afraid of her, and felt comfortable around her. In fact, their bond with her seemed even stronger and more affectionate this time! Our situation is a little unusual, as one of our three cats has special needs and lives separately from the other two. This means caring for our cats requires extra attention and an individual approach. Dolores is extremely conscientious, responsible, and attentive in everything she does. But what means just as much to us is that she doesn't simply take care of the basic tasks — she genuinely spends time with each of our fur babies, respecting their different personalities and habits. It's clear that she truly enjoys being around them, and they respond to her with trust and affection. While we were away, Dolores sent us photos of our cats, shared sweet little stories about her interactions with them, and responded to our messages. This helped us not only know that our cats were doing well, but also see how comfortable and happy they were in her company. It meant so much to us, especially since we missed our fur babies terribly! When you have to leave your beloved pets for several weeks, knowing they're in the hands of someone you can truly trust is incredibly important. We feel very fortunate to have found Dolores, and we're sincerely grateful for all the kindness, care, and attention she's given our cats! We wholeheartedly recommend Dolores to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter! ❤️
Anika was great at communicating and I could tell she developed a fun & loving relationship with all the cats. She got to know their personalities quickly and how to interact with each of them. We were gone for our wedding and I was happy to not worry at all about the cats while we were gone, I could tell Anika really cared about them and we were able to relax on our wedding day knowing they were in good hands.
Bronte was great and very understanding. My cats spent most of her visits hiding because she's new and they don't know her. But Malí eventually ventured out and decided Bronte was ok. Hopefully Malí will tell Felis and he'll come out of hiding next time. Thanks, Bronte!
Angela was absolutely amazing! She truly went above and beyond during her drop-in visits with Lizzo and Kingston. She sent me so many adorable photos and thoughtful updates every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. There was an issue with one of the automatic feeders, and she let me know right away instead of keeping it to herself. Thankfully, it ended up going back to normal on its own, but I really appreciated how quickly she communicated with me and stayed on top of everything. It's clear she genuinely cared about my pets, and that meant so much to me. I never had to worry because I knew they were in great hands. Thank you so much, Angela, from the bottom of my heart. I truly appreciate everything you did, and I will definitely be booking with you again in the future!

- 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.

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 .
