About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. I have experience with walking, boarding, sitting, training, grooming and more. Though the majority of my professional experience revolves around dog walking, watching, and training, I also am very familiar and fond of cats. Currently I have one senior Shih Tzu named Marcus, he’s been with me since he was 6 weeks old and is now turning 13 in August. The love and devotion I have for my pup is the same I have for every animal I encounter, I am very passionate about providing the same level of care Marcus receives to each pet I am trusted with. Currently I work hybrid remote and on site as an interior designer. My flexible schedule allows plenty of time to service my fellow pet parents! Pets are allowed to roam freely in my home but I am happy to accommodate crate trained animals as well. My small dog loves company, he is very playful and friendly. As for sittings at my clients homes I follow all instructions thoroughly ensuring that your pet stays at ease, on schedule and full of happiness until your return.
About: Lifelong Animal Lover & Experienced Caregiver. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, raising everything from birds and turtles to cats and dogs. Today, I’m a proud pet parent to two gorgeous cats (ages 8 and 4) who mean the world to me. For the past several years, I have channeled my passion into professional pet sitting, hands-on shelter volunteering, and fostering—including raising a lively 4-month-old Doberman puppy. I have a massive heart for all animals and promise to treat your pets with the exact same deep love, safety, and dedicated care that I give my own. How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine Right now, I have the luxury of a completely open schedule! Since I’m currently between jobs, my days revolve entirely around pet care. Whether your cat or dog needs a mid-day play session, early morning feedings, or late-night cuddles, I can easily fit into their established routine. This flexibility also means I’m highly responsive and available for short-notice requests or extended daytime stays. Safety & Peace of Mind Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Thanks to my background volunteering in animal shelters and fostering, I am highly attuned to animal behavior and body language. I know how to spot stress early and ensure a calm, secure environment. My own home is entirely cat-proofed, smoke-free, and tailored to the comfort of my two resident cats. Whether in your home or mine, I am meticulous about keeping doors secure, maintaining strict hygiene (especially with litter boxes), and following your exact safety instructions. You will receive detailed updates and photos after every visit so you never have to worry.

Arash went above and beyond, and we would happily book with him again.”

About: I always had pets of all kinds growing up and grew to love all animals. I have cared for cats, dogs, and all other pets for family, friends, and clients for over a decade by doing walks, drop in visits, and overnight pet sitting. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time during my weekly routine to schedule any dog walks, drop ins, and pet sitting days. I provide the best care possible for all pets in my care. I make sure that I am observing the animals behavior to check if they are comfortable and follow all owners instructions to perfection.
“This was my first time ever having a pet sitter to take care of my new rescue baby, and I was very nervous about the whole process. From beginning to end Nick was amazing! He sent me daily updates, and despite my shy guy hiding, Nick was able to catch glimpses and made sure water, food, and litter box were taken care of. I returned home to find a safe, happy, and well fed Siamese. Will definitely be booking with Nick again 😻”

I love and care for all dogs I come across, so every breed is welcomed with open arms!

About: Hello! My name is Chloe and I want to help you care for your dog (or cat)! I'm available to do drop-in visits with your pet and to take your dog on walks! My home is also open for doggy day-care! I've had pets my entire life (dogs and cats) and I’ve been a sitter/walker before. I love taking care of pets whether they're my own or yours! I love all animals, big or small. I've been around plenty of puppies and kittens so I know how to be gentle, effectively look after them, and give them the best care. I'm confident that your pets will love me! My schedule and availability are always changing as I am a grad student, so this section gets updated frequently. I have a dog of my own and she gets plenty of exercise and playtime despite my crazy schedule. I will always follow your care plan for your pet. I am only comfortable with what you are comfortable with. Safety is of utmost importance to me when caring for your pet. In my home, my dog is crate trained and is never home alone outside of the crate or a safely enclosed room. My dog is a pittie mix so she requires an extensive skincare routine and has experienced minor health issues like an ear infection. I am comfortable administering ointments, creams, and medications if need be to your pet.
About: I grew up on a farm with multiple little friends around me. My parents were dog breeders and I have always found that lifestyle of taking care of animals as a privilege. I used to stay at people's houses to care for their pets and I genuinely would love the opportunity to do that again. As of now, I work a part-time retail job. I'm very easygoing with my work schedule, I tend to work around 10 hours a week. I do love pets, and I really do love walking. I tend to walk most places in general and I love spending time in the outdoors with furry friends. This would be a great opportunity for me and I would appreciate spending time with pets that need care for.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Long Beach
I cannot say enough kind words about Stephanie. My two cats, usually skittish at first, quickly ran up to Stephanie and fell in love at first pet. She has an excellent energy with animals, is very diligent, caring, and kept us feeling close to our guys while we were away. Boys were so happy and not upset (like usual) when we got home and we 100% attribute that to Stephanie's great care. Stephanie will go above and beyond and ensure your pets are extremely well cared. Definitely recommend her for any and all rover pet needs.
Ray was an awesome cared for my cats during my last trip. He had great communication, followed all my requests to the letter, and he has a great way with the kitties. One of my cats typically hides completely when I’m gone but she came out to see him. Highly recommended.
Thank you!! Michelle is the best dog/ cat sitter you will find! Always taking excellent care of our babies, takes amazing pics for us while on vacation, always has a detailed full report for every visit and follows their feeding schedule and any meds needed perfectly. Thank you so much Michelle for always taking care of our little loved ones while we are away. We greatly appreciate your professionalism and attention to detail.
Ali did such a great job taking care of my fur babies. My oldest took a liking to her immediately. They’re both a bit grumpy toward strangers so I was surprised at them warming up to her so soon! She’s very kind and well informed and I do plan on rebooking her in the future!
needed a sitter relatively last minute. So happy to have found Brandy! so quick to communicate and get details sorted in the short time I had before I needed to leave on a trip. Her professionalism, attention to detail with her obvious care for my cat Sheba’s well-being makes her my first choice for any future needs!
Alissa did a fantastic job watching my cat during an unexpected trip, even on short notice. She sent detailed updates and photos with every visit, and it was such a relief knowing my needy cat was in great hands. He was also very happy, getting lots of head scratches and pets😻. I could be away with peace of mind.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
