About: My name is Tara, and I am a nurse by day. I have two cats that are my children, and am always looking to love on other fur babies. I am available to walk dogs, do drop in visits, house-sit animals in a client's home, and administer medications. I can clean after pets and care for puppies and kittens as well. I have previously volunteered at animal shelters and worked with many different animals. Other than pet care, I love being outdoors and staying active in nature. I absolutely love to travel in my spare time. I am also available for farm animal care as well- although I don't have any experience in this I would really love to learn. Thank you for reading! I am taking a break from nursing for a couple months and my schedule is pretty flexible/open! I am happy to provide care during this time of transition. I am reliable, friendly, and safe in my interactions with pets. Regardless of the temperament of the animal, I can read animals body language well and know how to make them feel safe.
“Ariana is very professional, thorough, and caring. She was able to connect and play with our very shy cat in less than a week. She sends lots of photos and puts in the effort to play with your pet.”
About: I may be new to Rover but I’ve been the go to pet sitter for my friends for years plus I have 3 fur babies myself. I just moved to CA so my schedule is wide open so I can easily work with the needs you have for your fur baby. I can work with whatever situation your home or pet requires. Fenced yard great, no yard that’s fine too we can leash up and head out.
About: Hi, I'm Eda! I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My grandpa had a beautiful farm in Temecula, where I grew up helping care for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, ducks, and even one very mean buck. From an early age, I also looked after my neighbors' pets, and I loved every minute of it. My family is from Turkey, where there's a deep appreciation for animals, especially dogs and cats. In my culture, animals are considered part of the family, and that's exactly how I've always treated them. That mindset has stayed with me throughout my life. I'm the friend who always finds the pet at the party, stops to admire every dog on a walk (with permission, of course), and can't resist saying hello to my neighborhood cat. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet companion, I'll care for them with patience, attention, and lots of affection. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in kind, reliable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and work part-time from home. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the animals in my care, whether they need regular walks, playtime, feeding, enrichment, or simply some extra companionship throughout the day. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I work from home part-time, giving me flexibility to provide attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and crate preferences. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: I currently have 1 dog, 4 cats and 1 lizard. I have dog sat for family and friends for years. I dog sit on weekends at a senior dog boarding with up to 16 senior dogs at a time. I have experience giving oral, topical, ear/eye drops and injections to both dogs and cats. I have volunteered with TNR, helped rescue cats and finding them loving homes. I have been a medical assistant for 16 years and I’m currently in nursing school. I am a nursing student with classes Monday-Thursday, I'm available evenings and weekends. I love all animals, I can walk dogs, I can stop by for house visits and do overnights. I have lots of experience walking 3 dogs at a time, its challenging but very do-able. I have 4 cats so I am very vigilant of keeping them safely inside. I open the door carefully every single time and always make sure windows are closed and screen is intact. I am a little ocd with cleaning and making sure there is nothing toxic or poisonous in the house that can cause them any danger. When walking my dog Lola (who likes to eat everything) I am constantly scanning for things she might want to eat like chicken bones, old food or anything that might smell good to her. I will get it out of her mouth if she manages to get to something. I am very aware of my surroundings and checking that the house is safe.
About: I’ve dog sat and cat sat for multiple different clients in the San Diego region. I have 2 years of experience of pet sitting through a pet sitting agency. I own two cats and love animals! I am eager to help you take care of your fluffy and loveable pets :) I am currently a part time RN in the San Diego region working three days a week. I work mornings and am available after 4:00 pm on days that I work. Otherwise on days off I have open availability! I have experience administering medications to both cats and dogs. I love to play with animals to provide them with enrichment! If injections are needed (ie insulin) I am very teachable since I am an RN :)
“Aurora was so great with my kitten! She was on time for our pre-meeting and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my kitten in her care. Her communication while I was away was wonderful. She sent lots of pictures, left detailed notes, and kept me updated throughout my trip. I especially appreciated the attention she gave to actually spending time with my kitten and actively playing with her twice a day, rather than just stopping in to take care of the basics. I was able to relax and enjoy my time away knowing Aurora had everything under control and my kitten was getting lots of attention and love. I would absolutely recommend her!”

About: Hi, I’m Rhonda! I’ve had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pets while you’re away. I offer house sitting, boarding, and drop-in care for both dogs and cats. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine and providing care that feels familiar and reassuring to them. I’m experienced with senior pets and oral medications. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I do my own. I work part-time primarily from home, so I’m able to spend most of the day with the pets in my care. I may occasionally be away for a few hours for appointments, errands, or evening commitments, but I’m home the majority of the time and can provide plenty of companionship and attention. For boarding, I accept pets from only one family at a time so they can have a quieter, more relaxed stay with plenty of individual attention. I have two resident cats, Gizmo and Truffle, so dogs staying in my home need to be comfortable around cats. For in-home pet sitting, I’m happy to help keep things running smoothly while you’re away. I can bring in mail and packages, put trash and recycling bins out and bring them back in, water plants, and take care of other small household tasks as needed. I’ll also send regular photo updates and reach out if I have any questions or concerns.
About: No matter what age your pet is, I have some form of experience with them ranging from walking, feeding, bathing, and at times medical care. I've owned both big and small dogs, and my priority is keeping them safe and happy. I'm currently a student so I'll be working around my class schedule. I'm available in the morning M/W, and late-morning and afternoons T/Th/F. I'm up for scheduling on weekends as well! I'll always make sure your home stays clean while taking care of your pet(s). While making sure your pet is taken care of, I'll do my best to make sure they don't get into any trouble and no mess is left behind.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Emma gave to our two cats, while we were away! Emma was absolutely amazing—thoughtful, reliable, and clearly a true animal lover. She kept us updated with daily messages and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our cats are usually a bit shy around new people, but they warmed up quickly thanks to Emma’s gentle and patient approach. When we returned home, everything was spotless, and both cats were happy and relaxed. We highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!😸😺”

I enjoy a lot being around pets 🫶🏻 small or big, whatever sor or shape, they all deserve to be loved. I want to make this my full time job, I will start off on my days off from my current job and then proceed to do it 24/7 Trust me, I will take care of them like my own, they will be supervised and taken care of by a hawk even if they need a crate or to sleep holding paws.

She did such a great job taking care of my cat! She was caring, responsible, and very easy to communicate with. I could tell she genuinely cared about my cat, which meant so much to me. I really appreciated her help and would highly recommend her to other pet parents! 🐾❤️
Mackenzie did an awesome job watching our two cats! She is a great communicator and is very kind. Her calm demeanor helped our shy cats warm up to her right away. We felt very comfortable and at ease knowing our babies were in good hands. I would definitely book Mackenzie again!
This was our second time asking Sahba to take care of our cats, and once again she did an amazing job. Sahba asked questions whenever something came up, which gave us peace of mind. She also sent us lots of photos and videos of our cats while we were away. We felt completely comfortable leaving our home and our cats in her care. We highly recommend her!

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.
