About: I provide dependable care with lots of attention, structure and communication so you never have to wonder if your fur baby is in the right hands. I work from home 5 days a week so whether your dog loves long walks, endless fetch sessions or simply some playtime and cuddles i am always available. I used to volunteer regularly at my local animal shelter and because of that I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, administering basic medications and caring for pets with different energy levels and temperaments.
“Meghan is an excellent caregiver to my three cats. She is loving and attentive to them. She writes wonderful summaries so I know how the cats are doing. Highly recommend Meghan for any pet(s).”
“I was very pleased with the service for Alexa. I would definitely book with them again. I had no worries and a stress free experience. Quick responses, on time and professional.”
“Thank you so much for watching Fireheart while we were away. It’s such a relief leaving him with you because of the love and care you provide. The pictures you send are so wonderful and they show how much he loves you and you look after him and play with him like he is your own. Thank you again Sarah”
“Gabby was a great sitter. She sent us photos and videos during her visits. She played with my kitties too. They seemed to really like her as well. Would definitely hire her again!”
About: I love running and long walks so if your dog is energetic, I will happily take them with me!! I live in a house with a large fenced in backyard and grass for your dog to roam around in and enjoy! I have a flexible schedule where I can work from home or drop by to check in on your pup! My housemate is also home often and many years of experience caring for dogs (and will happily provide belly rubs). Within your home, I understand every owner has their own personal preferences for how to take care of their pet so this is my highest priority. I make sure to leave the home as I came.
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 10, including six Chihuahuas, a Pit Bull, and now a Border Collie and Australian Shepherd. I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and affection. What sets me apart is my lifelong hands on experience and genuine love for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time while completing my RBT certification, which gives me a flexible schedule and availability to take on pet-sitting opportunities. I’m looking to fill some of my extra hours by providing dependable, attentive care for pets. I’m available for overnight stays and can work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m responsible, reliable, and committed to making sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I provide patient, loving care while keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pet is used to.
“Heather was so kind and helpful. She took great care of our kitty! Our cat is a little shy but warmed up to Heather's patient, pet-lover energy right away. We would love to book her again :)”
About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. I have had my own dog since I was 11, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and attention that pets need every day. I have also cared for hamsters and have experience watching my family’s pets as well as neighbors’ pets. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving attention, or making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, I’m very dependable and caring. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m available in the mornings and evenings, which gives me plenty of flexibility to work pet care into my routine. I’m also available for overnight care and can come directly to your home so your cat can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’m happy to care for your cat in your home and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they are fed, have fresh water, have a clean litter box, and get the right amount of playtime, attention, or space depending on their personality. I’ll also keep your home tidy and send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your cat is being well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have loved and lived with cats my entire life, at one point caring for four at the same time! Because of this, I believe I speak fluent cat. I’ve raised and cared for cats at every stage of life, from kittens to senior cats and sick ones, all with very different needs. I am also skilled at giving cats medication if they are receptive to it. Whether your kitty is super cuddly or spicy and needs their space, your babies are completely safe and understood with me. Beyond caring for your pets, I will be 100% respectful of your home. You can completely trust me to keep your space clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I treat your home and your pets with the utmost care and respect! As a student on summer break, I have an incredibly open and flexible schedule! I am completely free to watch over your pets, drop in for multiple visits throughout the day, or stay overnight to keep them company. Whether your cats love interactive play, brushing, and cuddles, or prefer to just chill from a distance, I meet them where they are. I keep water bowls fresh, clean the litter box daily, and strictly stick to their feeding schedules; which I know is especially crucial for older cats. I'm also completely fine with handling barf cleanup. To give you complete peace of mind, I will stay fully communicative, updating you throughout my visits and sending plenty of daily photo/video updates of your sweet babies.
About: Have always had dogs and cats in the house and couldn’t imagine my life without them. Nice big backyard and plenty of room for activities! I currently work for myself so my schedule is very flexible week to week. Looking to help out another person owner with the added bonus of having a furry friend to have around.

I have a friendly dog, and always provide constant supervision. In clients’ homes, I respect routines, keep spaces clean, and ensure pets feel safe and cared for.
“What lovely people! Kim and Chris made time to keep our little dogtwe with hardly any notice, and certainly loved on her like she was their own. I feel so lucky to have met them and to have the option of both dog and humans meeting again soon”
About: I am not yet ready to have another pet of my own, so I get great comfort from sharing my love and affection with those families that need it. I have had dogs, cats, a rabbit and a horse throughout my childhood years. My love bug, a 140lb Rottweiler, was the best partner a young woman could have. It was very hard saying goodbye to him. I understand the amount of time, love and attention our pets require of us and I’m happy to be part of the team that can help reduce the concerns when apart or busy. I’ve dog sat at others homes. I’ve kept dogs with me at mine. I’m flexible and understand that each owner has their own unique preferences for the way they want their family member taken care of. I look forward to getting to know you and your loved one! I’m exploring my freedom from corporate life and currently have a lot of open time in my schedule. I’m looking to stay active and walking is a key part of that. I’d love to have a companion to get out and putting the miles on my step counter. I would prefer caring for your pet in a setting more familiar to them, their own home when possible. I know that each owner has unique standards that they want followed and I welcome having detailed instructions and information to follow. Outside of the guidelines that I might get, I’m happy to play, do some basic training, build the pet’s confidence and nurture with attention and affection.
About: I love love love dogs! I rescued 4 dogs ranging from snappy chihuahuas to reactive pitbulls. I’ve been dog walking and sitting for half my life (15 years). I love kitty cats too, and I have experience with caring for turtles and fish! My first dog sitting client was in 2010 and she was my client for 4 years. In 2018 I started a professional dog walking and pet sitting business called Puppy Paws Pet Services in Jacksonville, Florida. I serviced over 100 dogs every year and had many daily and weekly clients. The biggest pack I’ve taken care of included 6 dogs, 4 turtles, and 10 fish. Big packs are my specialty, as I myself have a big pack. I have experience administering medicine, putting on diapers, specific diet plans, and handling rescues with different behavioral tendencies. I’ve seen just about everything and am prepared for most situations. I’ve never lost a dog, a dog has never been injured in my care, and I promise to send you cute photos of your pup! I currently work from home part time and have a very flexible schedule. I also have reliable transportation and only my two dogs to care for at home. My availability is open and flexible. I’m incredibly cautious when handling pets, I never get too comfortable. I always double, sometimes triple check locked doors, I review instructions I have before I enter and leave a clients house, I am mindful of how I would want someone in my home to act, and I always try to go above and beyond.
“Mitchell is so awesome with Ruth! He takes time to play with her, makes sure she is taken care of, and will ask questions if he sees something off. She loves her drop in time!”
“Michael is great. He always gives me feedback on how my dog is doing, and he genuinely cares about his wellbeing. Michael has been walking my dog for a year now, and I’d happily recommend him to anyone who needs dog walking or house sitting.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for pets. From my first kitten at age five to the dogs and cats I care for today, I’ve always believed pets are part of the family. I provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Dogs in my care receive daily walks, along with plenty of attention and personalized care. I work from home full-time so your pet will get lots of time and attention from me. I want you to feel at ease with me watching your animal. I have a fenced in patio and a nice big yard in the front that I can walk your dog on a leash for potty breaks. I also live across the street from a very nice large park where I am happy to take the dog for some playtime.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Livermore
Nic was AWESOME! She was very caring and loving toward our geriatric kitty. She spent a lot of time each day just hanging out with her so she didn't feel as lonely while we were away. When we returned, our kitty's food and water area as well as her litter box looked neat and well-maintained. Nic even took care of some of our plants while we were gone during the summer heat! We highly recommend her. Your pets will be happy and well-loved while you're gone!
We love our kitty like a son and it's always hard when we have to leave him, but knowing that AnnMarie is with him takes all our worries away! She's so great with him and it's clear that he loves her and trusts her. We wouldn't trust him with anyone else! She's the absolute best!
Micheal is an outstanding pet sitter, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found him. He cared for my two cats throughout December while I was overseas and consistently went above and beyond during every visit. Although each drop-in was scheduled for 30 minutes, he regularly stayed close to an hour to make sure everything was done thoroughly and correctly. I use a non-standard litter box setup (crystal litter with a metal tray and layered liners), and he took the time to learn my system carefully. He was extremely thorough and meticulous when changing and maintaining the litter, which I truly appreciated since it’s different from what most pet owners use. He was attentive to every detail—cleaning and refilling the water system, maintaining the automatic feeder and litter box, vacuuming litter tracking, and ensuring my cats’ environment was safe and comfortable. When unexpected issues came up (such as water tipping over or my cats breaking into their feeder), he handled everything perfectly and even agreed to make an extra emergency visit to fix the problem. What really stood out was how much he genuinely cared. He offered thoughtful advice on pet-proofing my home and always communicated professionally and promptly. I had complete peace of mind knowing my cats were in such caring and capable hands. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional cat care.
Christine took excellent care of my cat Seuss while I was away! She was communicative, reliable, and patient with him. I really appreciated the updates knowing he was in good hands while I was on my trip. I’d absolutely highly recommend Christine and will be using her again in the future, thank you!
Julie did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. I really appreciated that she gave me updates with the Rover cards with reviews of each visit, which gave me piece of mind while away. Julie was a really good fit as a cat expert and had great experience to take care of my shy cats.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Livermore stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
