About: Responsible, kind and caring. I've cared for my own animals for the past 50 years. I've had, horses, goats, chickens, pigs, dogs and cats. I have experience in wound care and medications including injections for diabetes. I currently work a full time job and want to be available to my friends and neighbors in Linden. This is due to my search for a caregiver and not finding one in Linden. My preference is to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, although having a dog come home with me will work as well.
About: I volunteer at the Stockton Animal Shelter. Also, I have a Pomeranian chihuahua mix so I’m used to smaller animals. My dog is 14-16 so he’s very old and is becoming more immobile and blind. I’m used to feeding him and helping him around the house. I’m currently working part time so most I’m completely free on the weekend as well as Monday and Tuesday. Also I have plenty of time on Thursday as a half day. I’m very respectful in others space. I will be very attentive to the rules that you lay out because you know your pet best
“Daniella did a great job watching our Goldendoodle while we were on vacation. After reading her reviews, I decided Daniella was a great fit for my anxious dog. Our first time booking with rover and overall it was an easy and stress free experience with Daniella.. She checked in on our dog once a day- She was always on time, communicated when needed, sent photos and followed our direction perfectly. We will be booking her again!”
“I hesitate to leave this review, because the last thing I want is more competition for Lauren’s time. 😉 Lauren is a delightful person who engages cheerfully with humans and animals. Our kids like her (as do we), and our dogs LOVE her. Lauren provides drop-in services for us whenever we travel, even when our kids are at home. It’s a way to make sure our 1+yo Goldens get steady punctual attention. Lauren feeds them, plays with them, gives them medicine, and communicates thoroughly with us in words and photos. We don’t miss our pups any less, but we miss them without anxiety. Thanks for everything Lauren!”
About: Hi! I’m Linda, a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for providing compassionate, reliable care. Growing up with dogs, cats, and bunnies all my life, I understand the unique personalities, routines, and needs of pets big and small. My background working in senior care and being a big sister to two younger siblings has given me a natural instinct for patience, attention to detail, and safety. Whether your furry family member needs gentle company, active play, or meticulous daily care, you can rest easy knowing they are in gentle, experienced hands! I’m available mornings 7:30am until 10:30am and late afternoon/nights 7:30pm-10:00pm and all day Tuesday/Wednesday , we can work on your time ! I focus on keeping your pets as comfortable as possible by sticking closely to their normal daily routines. During my visits, I handle feeding, fresh water refills, litter box scooping, cage or habitat maintenance, exercise, and plenty of personalized attention or play. Because I currently care for five cats at home and have looked after various types of animals throughout my life—including dogs, bunnies, and cats—I am deeply familiar with managing different temperaments, dietary needs, and handling subtle changes in pet behavior. I also ensure your home remains safe, secure, and clean while you’re away
“Cindy & Toan was incredible with Milo! They were so attentive, dependable, and genuinely caring from start to finish. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. Milo clearly adored spending time with them. I’m so grateful for the care, updates, and kindness they showed. I’ll definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets as long as i can remember! I actively volunteer at animal shelters where I gained TONS of hands-on experience caring for dogs, puppies, kittens, and cats with different personalities, energies, and illnesses.

I also have basic training skills and would love to teach your dogs some new tricks :) I currently work at home so I have more than enough time to dedicate to the pets in my care. I’m available for long enriching walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and cozy overnight stays. I’m flexible with scheduling and take last minute bookings🫶🏼 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is getting genuine attention, patience, and affection—not just a quick check-in. I’m attentive during walks and playtime, make sure pets are supervised, and always keep doors, gates, and leashes secure. When caring for pets in their home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and being well cared for.

Also, I’m a chronic photo taker, so expect lots of cute updates of your baby! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work from 7:30 AM–4:00 PM, so early morning walks and potty breaks are always welcome (they honestly bring me joy). Outside of work, I’m happy to check in as often as your pet needs.

About: My love for animals runs deep—I currently volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I care for cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. From socializing shy pets to walking energetic pups and helping with feeding and cleaning, I’ve gained hands-on experience that’s taught me how to read animal behavior and respond with patience, love, and care. Whether I’m hanging out with a cuddly senior cat or keeping a playful dog entertained, I truly enjoy making pets feel safe and happy. I treat every animal like family and make it my priority to follow their routine and comfort level while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m able to fit pet care into my daily routine easily. I work remotely and can adjust my hours as needed, which makes it simple to handle walks, feedings, or any last-minute needs that come up. I’m very careful when it comes to pet care. I always make sure the environment is safe, secure, and comfortable—whether it’s in my home or the client’s. I follow any specific instructions closely and treat every pet like they’re my own, with lots of love, patience, and attention.
“Had to leave our cats for about a week. Just asked for a daily check-in and feeding. Also did ask for her to try to give our little girl Mei a daily pill. We figured Mei would disappear and give her no chance. But she got her her medicine every day except for the first day. Impressive. Also cleaned up some cat sick. Very happy. And cats seemed very happy.”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- 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.
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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
