“Josh was a life saver for us! We just moved to California and needed someone we could trust to watch our cat and he was exactly what we were looking for! He was so helpful to us, allowing us to still be able to travel and do what we need to do and know that our cat has a friend to look after them while we are away. So grateful for Josh, he is a must book, you won’t regret it!”

“From our very first meet & greet, we could tell our pups Cooper and Casey were in good hands. Stephanie was warm and easygoing, and our dogs took to her right away. For our drop-ins, Stephanie arrived promptly and followed our care instructions closely. Both pups enjoyed a lively game of fetch with her and received the bio-break they needed. When she headed out, the house was locked up securely and the pups were happy. Stephanie sent great photos of Cooper and Casey during her visit, which made our day and gave us complete peace of mind. Having a local sitter with a flexible schedule is a real gift. We'll be booking her again when we need care.”

About: With years of experience caring for friends' and neighbors' dogs, I've developed a natural connection with pets. Growing up surrounded by both cats and dogs, I understand their unique needs and personalities. My lifelong passion for animals, combined with my hands-on experience, ensures your furry friend will receive the best care possible. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, I provide a loving and trustworthy environment for your pet. Pet care fits well into my current routine, as I’m looking for part-time work and have availability Wednesday through Saturday, primarily in the afternoons and evenings. This schedule allows me to plan my time around the needs of the pets in my care and provide attentive, dependable service during those hours. Starting in mid-November, I’ll have even more flexibility in my schedule, allowing me to accommodate a wider range of pet care needs. My goal is to make sure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve! I provide pet care in the comfort of your home, as I currently do not have the space to care for pets in my own. I follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, cleanings, and walks, to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to offer a stress-free experience by maintaining consistency and offering personalized care while you’re away.

About: I’ve looked after neighbors dogs and family friends dogs for years. I’m knowledgeable in canine body language so I can read their comfort levels and ensure they aren’t getting overwhelmed. I am very proficient in bathing dogs, I get dogs with double coats deshed and curly coated dogs brushed out. I am currently working part time at a dog grooming facility, but I have few hours. I would have plenty of time to play or lounge with your pups depending on their needs. If your dog is low energy, I would be more than happy to just hang out and play low impact games with them. For my high energy buddies, I would be happy to (with pet parent permission) take them on a trail hike or play ball.

About: I have pets for over 20 years; from puppies and kittens all the way to their senior years. With the majority of my babies being rescues, I have the pleasure of experiencing their early days all the way to their golden years as they prepared to cross the rainbow bridge. This has provided me a ton of experience to provide a wide range of range of care from when they are little and requiring lots of attention through teething and basic skills, all the way to the special care that older pets need such as assistance walking, medication and potty troubles. Currently, our pack includes one growing girl, a two year old mixed breed dog who gets along splendiferously with 3 dignified cats and 1 who begrudgingly tolerates her. In my years of pet sitting, I have worked with dogs and cats of various ages and breeds. I have always respected every owner's parenting style and decisions. I also respect the boundaries of the owner's home as I would hope someone would of mine. I am free most days, including weekends. I'm comfortable with several short visits throughout the day or long visits just to keep your babies company! Safety and the physical and mental health of your friend(s) are my first priority. From my experience as a foster, I’ve learned that every pet has different needs and I’ve learned to identify and address those needs. I regularly do full body inspections on my own pets and will do the same for yours to ensure they are safe and happy when you return!

“Carla is the most amazing caretaker! I left her with one senior cat-very difficult. Also another middle aged cat. I left my two cats with her for 21 days, and when I got back Leo looked better than when I left him! I honestly believe he didn't want to leave Carla's. She is also very kind and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend this gem of a cat sitter one thousand percent! You can leave your feline with her with no worries.”

“Mimi went above and beyond caring for my sweet, super senior girl. She is very experienced and knowledgeable and noticed right away when something was off with my baby. She took her straight to the vet and her quick actions have given my baby the best chance to recover from a sudden medical emergency. She kept me updated on everything. She continues to check in and is just so sweet. I could not recommend Mimi enough!”

“Being new to the area, my husband and I had legitimate concerns about finding a capable and dependable kitty sitter to care for our fur babies while we were on vacation. It was Sally to the rescue! From the moment she rang our doorbell for our meet and greet, she proved to be totally professional yet warm and personable at the same time. Her daily email reports were so welcome, and it was a huge blessing to be completely free from any concerns about their care while we were on the road. We will definitely recruit her help again next time we travel. Thank you, Sally!!! - Nancy & Joe Roux, Murrieta CA”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was born. I have trained two dogs myself including my current dog. I can reinforce training during visits or walks. I know how to perform subcutaneous injections, prepare and use a feeding tube, and a master of delivering oral medication. Willing to do teeth brushing and nail trimming for an additional fee. I work part time at the Safari. My work hours range from 7am to 5:30pm most days. So I can do visits before or after work. I will share my availability for each week at request. Willing to do visits or walks as late as 8pm. I am flexible to how you want me to treat your pets whether it be spoiled or rigid training. I care for my own dog with one scent lead walk a night and the occasional heel walk. I also reinforce training throughout the day at home.

I live in an apartment with two cats who freely adventure onto the patio and I do take them outside, supervised. I will spend time playing with them for hours until they get tired of me.

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, so I'm naturally comfortable with their everyday needs. I've sat informally for neighbors before and I'm happy to walk dogs as well as care for them at home. I may be newer to formal sitting, but I bring patience, attentiveness, and a lifetime of comfort and experience with dogs. I currently go to school Monday through Fridays in the morning but I have free afternoons and weekend! I am not available for boarding but am more than happy to take care of a home as well as some adorable animals! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for a pet. Since I offer care in the client's home, I follow your routine closely, feeding schedules, medication if needed, and any house rules you have. I double-check that doors and gates are secure so pets can't get out, and I stay attentive and present during the time I'm there, whether that's a visit, a walk, or overnight care in your home. I treat every pet with the same calm, genuine attention I'd want for my own, and I'm always happy to check in with updates so you have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I’ve had Golden Retrievers my entire life and currently have two of my own, Ace and Cider :) Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I have experience with puppies through senior dogs. I understand the importance of providing plenty of exercise, attention, patience, and loving care so every dog feels happy and comfortable Pet care fits perfectly into my life right now! I recently finished playing professional basketball overseas, in Australia so I have a very flexible schedule until my next season begins. I have plenty of time to give your pet the love they need. At home, I have two Golden Retrievers with a big backyard. I regularly feed them in the mornings and nights, take them to the park for walks, and spend lots of time training them. It's so rewarding to see them grow and thrive with the care and attention they deserve! I always make sure to provide the same level of care and attention to other people's pets as I do for my own. I ensure that they are fed, given proper exercise, and of course, get all the pets and treats they deserve. It's all about making sure each furry friend feels loved and well taken care of!

About: I grew up around animals and have always been comfortable caring for both dogs and cats! In college, I ran a pet-sitting business, gaining hands-on experience with walks, feeding routines, playtime, litter care, and making sure pets felt safe and comfortable while their owners were away. I am calm and attentive and have the ability to adapt to different pet personalities and needs, whether energetic puppies or more relaxed, routine-oriented pets. I focus on building trust with animals so they feel secure and cared for, not just watched. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! As a full-time teacher, I have a structured daily routine during the school year, which allows me to plan pet care responsibilities around mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m consistent and organized with my time, so I’m able to reliably provide care before and after work, as well as give pets focused attention during my free time. During the summer when I’m off, I have even more flexibility and availability for longer stays or more frequent care. Overall, I’m used to balancing responsibility and routines, which translates well into providing dependable and attentive pet care. I care for pets by keeping their routines as consistent and comfortable as possible in their own home or mine. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and any special needs, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day. I’m very mindful of each animal’s personality—some need extra activity and stimulation, while others prefer a calm, quiet environment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for so their owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

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 .

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.

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.
