About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. As a child, I always wanted a pet but was frequently told no. As a teenager, a family member needed an indefinite pet sitter for his young schnauzer. I took care of his baby for 3 months and fell in love with being his provider. It was devastating when I had to return him back to his owner and my parents felt terrible. They finally saw the capable person that I was and gave me my own puppy to take care of! My mother and I were his sole caregivers up until he passed. His name was Panda. Right after school, I’d put his leash on him and would take him on lively walks. I taught him how to do tricks, even roll over! He was mostly in for the treats. I took him on my long car rides where he mostly slept in the backseat but you could tell how much he loved it. I am very serious about safety so of course he had a seatbelt. Towards the end of his life, he became sick. It was like he became a senior in one singular, sudden day. He had a plethora of medications and supplements that he needed to take that I became responsible of. I was also the spokesperson for him during his scary vet appointments. Needless to say, I will take good care of your pet. Whether they are a puppy or a senior, I have it handled. I lived a life where I was able to fully love my boy and it would be a token to him that I take care of your babies. I am currently not working so I am mostly free from Monday-Thursday from early morning to sunset. I am very selective about my time from Friday-Sunday but I can always make space for your fur baby with proper communication! I do not have the space in my home to take care of your pet but I can always go to yours! I am a rule-follower so whatever you tell me, I will gladly do. No matter how specific.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and recently raised and trained my own dog from puppyhood, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I work from home, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and of course lots of cuddles! I genuinely love being around dogs and spending time outdoors, whether that’s going for a walk, a hike, or just hanging out together. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. ☺️ I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can give your pet lots of attention throughout the day. I’m very active and love to walk, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and outdoor time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routines—like feeding times, walks, and play—and always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to keep your pet happy and stress-free while you’re away.
“I loved that Camille is super responsive, very prompt with schedules, responsible, and just over all seems to really enjoy caring for dogs! My puppy was very pleased to have Camille take care of him for the night, and I was pleased she was available on short notice. I appreciate her knowledge of dogs and care she takes in our requests (and just in general). I will definitely book services with her again, and recommend you give her a chance to care for your fur baby.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up around animals has taught me how important patience, consistency, and love are when caring for them. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra attention while you're away, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for, while giving you peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved is always a priority. Making sure they can’t get into anything harmful. I make sure they’re leashed every walk and that nothing harms the pet whatsoever. They’re in good hands.
“Shannon is the best!! My cat is leery of most people, but Shannon was able to make friends with her very quickly on her first visit. It was a miracle and I was stunned. She's been taking of Trixie any time we go out of town for at least the past two years. She's a gem!”
“Vanessa was AWESOME, my doggies loved her & she was very attentive to them. She is also a great photographer, loved every picture she provided me with. Will definitely be booking her again. 100/10”
About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was little. I love animals probably more then people at times and I will love your fur babies as if they were my own and take great care of them! I am wide open with availability during the day in case your pets need someone with them for most of the day or if they are fine being alone for certain amount of time.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals, especially dogs, for most of my life. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets with patience and attention. I’m a dedicated college student who’s hardworking, dependable, and flexible with hours. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and occasional last-minute bookings when available, flexible hours and willing to work around your pet’s routines and needs! I care for pets by following the owner’s instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get regular walks or playtime, and receive plenty of attention and comfort. I also keep their environment clean and safe, and I’m careful to monitor their behavior for any signs of stress or health concerns. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep things tidy, and make sure their pet feels secure and well cared for while they’re away.

“This was our first time using a dog-sitting service, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We found Alyssa, and from the very beginning, she went above and beyond. She came over before we left to meet our pets and make sure they were comfortable with her, which gave us so much peace of mind. While we were out of town, Alyssa kept us updated with messages and pictures, and it was clear that our dogs were being very well cared for and loved. Knowing they were happy and in good hands made our trip that much more enjoyable. If we ever need a dog sitter again, I would absolutely hope Alysa is available. We would happily have her care for our pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable!”

About: Hi I'm Roxi, I have a 14year old red dandy Dachshund named Zoë who loves to burrow under my blankets and pillows. I have to tap my sheets everytime to make sure I don't squish her when I want to jump in my own bed!! She gets so much time outside to the point it's boring for her to go out. Whenever I open the door for her to bust out running, she'll simply just lay down and soak up the sun. She loves getting petted and getting attention from other people other than her real huMom. Please let me walk your fur baby so we can make their daily step goals!!!🐶🐕🦮🐕🦺🐩 I enjoy making pet care a natural part of my routine in between my home visits as a nurse. I’m able to provide consistent visits, feeding, playtime, litter care, and plenty of love and attention. I’m dependable and flexible, and I always make sure each cat feels comfortable and cared for while their family is away. 🐾💕 I care for my cat and dog with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs.

About: I am not shy to large dogs or animals in general. I do not judge dogs based on size. All dogs deserve love no matter their looks, age, or size. I’ve had bully breeds all my life and have grown accustomed to being around them. Cats I just adore too, whether they’re cuddly, or shy, I’ll be sure to treat them with respect. One thing I can say for myself is that I hope you’re okay with me giving your pets treats! Please let me know what treats your pets enjoy and I will provide them. :) My schedule is flexible and very open at the moment, all I ask is that you request the day before. If it’s last minute request however I’m open to listening to you if you really need a last minute sitter as I know things happen. What I have always been taught is to leave a space cleaner than you found it. This also may include your pet if you would like them bathed I do not mind at all. If I was to stay overnight as well do not think for one second there would be a crumb left from myself. I do not believe in leaving trash or dishes in a sink, or making myself “too at home.” I have a lot of experience in housekeeping, as my friends and families typically ask me to watch their homes for them.
About: As a former Registered Vet Tech, I feel very comfortable giving medications, fluids and injections as needed to your furry friend. I have been a homeowner in Palmdale for 5 years. I take care of dogs and cats. I have time in the very early morning and then late afternoons M-F and anytime on the weekends. During holiday breaks (1 week at Thanksgiving, 3 weeks during winter break and New Years, and 1 week during spring break) I am available ANYTIME. Because of the pets in my home, I only take care of pets in client's homes. I am very careful about safety and making sure pets do not get out. I carry loop leashes, bags and other supplies as well as extra food. I keep each client's keys on a separate lanyard and locked up .

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lancaster
Hanna did a couple drop in visits on our dog over the weekend and we were very satisfied with the care! She was reliable, had great communication, and was very attentive to our dog’s needs. We especially appreciated her attention to detail and the questions she asked to provide the best care before we could even think of the important things to share with her. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.
Alyssa was amazing throughout our week long vacation. She sent updates and photos every visit, kept our cat entertained with his toys, and maintained the cleanliness of our home the whole time! She is a great communicator and did everything we asked and more. I highly recommend booking her for your next trip!

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.

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.

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 .
