About: I have a huge passion for animals and always have since I was little. I love dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, anything you name it! Being around animals brings me so much joy. I’ve taken care of close friends, or family pets in the past. I’m extremely detail-oriented and very attentive when it comes to taking care of animals. I have always been sure to fulfill the needs of animals under my care. I am a fast learner as well, so if there is ever a new skill I need to learn based off an animal in my care, I’m quick to pick up on it! I’m currently working part-time, and I am a student as well! I only work during the evenings and my classes are only on Mondays and Wednesdays at Las Positas, so I’m generally free any other time! My work schedule is pretty flexible as well and I love to make time for pet care/ animal quality time! I live in a very safe and friendly community, which provides other community dogs and dog parks as well. Lots of grassy area to play and nice scenery to take animals on walks. I am very open to following directions with client in home care, as well as adapting to the environment or adding anything to provide care so pets are comfortable as well as their owners!

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve been around dogs and cats of all sizes since I was young. I work from home full-time, so flexibility is definitely on my side. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, love, and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is to make every walk and drop-in safe and stress-free! I work remotely from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, walk, or pet sitting, I can easily fit your pet’s routine into my day while giving them the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and follow your instructions carefully—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and favorite routines. I know every pet is different, and I strive to make each visit feel as stress-free and familiar as possible while treating your home with the same respect I’d treat my own.

About: I’ve cared for pets of different ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I’ve completed 503 hours of professional dog behavior and training education, as well as the AVBM Asia Veterinary Behavioral Medicine Master Courses in both 2024 and 2025. I’ve also completed basic and advanced senior pet care courses. This education has strengthened my understanding of canine behavior, body language, communication, and the needs of dogs at different ages and life stages. I use this knowledge to provide thoughtful, attentive, and personalized care for every pet. I’m currently changing my career path, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays after 3pm, and on all other days after 11am for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and boarding. For other times or special services, I’m happy to discuss and accommodate when possible. I’m passionate about animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I’m patient, attentive, caring, and dependable, and my goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while in my care. Safety, reliability, and communication are very important to me. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. For pets staying in my home, I provide a clean, calm, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of individual attention. My community has plenty of grassy areas for walks and outdoor time, and I do my best to maintain each pet’s usual routine so they can feel at home.

About: I have been pet sitting for relatives for many years, and I understand how difficult it can be to leave them in the hands of another person. I love my dogs like my children and care for them as such. I cared for my dog Lexi for over 16 years. I have loved dogs ever since and would really like to help you take care of yours. I am a teacher at Emerald High School where I teach Biomedical Sciences. As such, I have the opportunity to leave work before most 9-5s to take care of your doggo or pupper. If you would like your dog socialized, my dog is friendly with other dogs, but I can also leave my dogs at home to take care of your dog solo. I live an active lifestyle where I run 3-4 miles almost every day. So if your dog is just as active, I can help release your dog's energy through running. My daily routine revolves around my dog since I do not have children. I prefer to care for you dog in my home to ensure they have continuous care. I have a fenced yard and one dog who tolerates her younger puppy cousin staying with us for long periods of time. I have a dog door that would fit a dog that’s 50 lbs or under. I can also stay at your home if that’s something you prefer.

About: Hi! I’m Danny, and I’ve been around animals for most of my life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, feeding, playtime, companionship, and basic grooming care like brushing and keeping pets clean. Some of the activities I enjoy doing with pets include walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch, tug-of-war, indoor games, light training reinforcement, cuddle time, and helping pets stay active and engaged throughout the day. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends, neighbors, and family members over the years, including energetic puppies, senior dogs, and shy pets that need extra comfort and reassurance. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions, and making sure pets get plenty of affection and supervision. I currently work as a PT aide Monday through Friday, and my workplace is only about 5 minutes away from my home. Because of that, I’m available most evenings and weekends, and I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and bathroom breaks throughout the day when needed. I’m dependable, patient, and responsive, and I always try to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their furry family members are happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and comforting environment for every pet I care for, and I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your pets! My schedule is flexible, which gives me plenty of time to focus on pet care and spend quality time with your pets. I’m available on most weekends for walks, drop-ins, boarding, or house sitting. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special instructions. I keep pets safe, supervised, and comfortable at all times. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is being well cared for and getting lots of love and attention.

About: I’m a reliable and active dog lover who offers evening walks and attentive boarding in a calm, structured environment. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether it’s getting them out for a solid walk, sticking to their normal routine, or making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away, I focus on providing consistent, dependable care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels and will follow any specific instructions, feeding schedules, or special care needs you provide. I’m available for evening walks, which makes me a great option for after-work exercise, dinner-time potty breaks, or helping your dog burn off energy before settling in for the night. I prioritize safe, structured walks and make sure your dog gets both the physical activity and attention they need. For boarding, I want to be transparent that I live in a clean, well-maintained travel trailer. It’s a climate-controlled and secure space that provides a calm, low-stress environment for dogs. Because of the smaller, controlled setting, I’m able to give pets more direct supervision, consistent attention, and frequent outdoor time. Dogs are not left alone for long periods, and I make sure they get regular walks, engagement, and care throughout their stay. Many dogs actually do very well in this type of quiet, less chaotic environment. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, clear communication, and commitment to your dog’s well-being. I’m happy to provide updates and photos, and I take pride in making sure each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for from the moment they arrive. With a work schedule of 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day. Pets can get a morning walk, a mid-day lunch break, and multiple evening walks to help burn off energy and stay on a routine. My schedule works especially well for dogs that need structure, regular exercise, and attention spread across the day. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I prefer structured walks on trails, downtown paths, and open areas like the parade field rather than dog parks, where off-leash or unpredictable dogs can create unnecessary risk. This allows me to maintain better control, avoid unsafe situations, and focus fully on your dog. Whether in my care or your home, every dog is treated with the same level of attention and respect as if they were my own.

Meghan is amazing!! When I first started having her watch my dogs she took the extra time to meet with them and allow them to get comfortable with her (one of my dogs struggles with new people). My dogs love when she visits and I know they’re in good hands when I’m away from home!

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!

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.

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 .

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.
