“Bronte is a great addition to my dogs routine. She is very reliable and trustworthy and my dog Luna, loves her. Knowing Luna is cared for while I'm at work makes me feel so happy and relieved!! 5 shiny stars for Bronte:)”
“She was awesome!! You can tell Kaden had a fun time with her. She communicates well and takes the best photos. It’s such a good feeling knowing my dog is under good care when I can’t be there. Thank you!!!”
“Shana is great! I hired her to take care of our tortoises that live outside while we were gone for 9 days. Not only did they need daily food and water, but their house also needed to be cleaned regularly. They’re pretty large tortoises so they also make big messes. She updated me every day, took pictures, and I came home to a spotless tortoise enclosure which was a dream. She really cared for them the way we do and I knew she bonded with them from her messages. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy and extremely caring, hire Shana!”
About: I have over 10 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a longtime pet owner, I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and temperaments. I previously cared for three dogs of my own and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, and multi pet households. I’m comfortable caring for shy or anxious pets and always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. I can accommodate special feeding schedules, daily routines, and individual care needs to help maintain consistency while you’re away. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout their pet’s stay, so they always have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel right at home. I’m trusted with others animals. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout the day, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care from morning to night. Your pet won’t just be checked on, they’ll receive plenty of companionship, playtime, affection, and supervision. I’m able to accommodate special feeding schedules, medication routines, potty breaks, and individual care needs to help keep their routine as normal as possible. Whether your pet is staying for a day or an extended visit, my goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special care instructions before their stay so they feel as comfortable as possible. I provide a calm, clean, and loving home where pets are closely supervised and treated like family. I have access to a secure, fenced outdoor area within my apartment community for safe potty breaks and fresh air. I’m experienced caring for shy or anxious pets, as well as homes with multiple pets, and I always adapt my care to each animal’s unique needs. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates throughout your pet’s stay, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and in caring hands.
“Jennifer is such a wonderful companion for my pug mix, Lola, who is older but still really active. Whenever she sees Jennifer, she runs right to her, tail wagging. I'm grateful she's in our lives.”
About: Hi! My name is Alexa, I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals of many personalities and ages. I recently relocated to California and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I am happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight care, puppy care, and providing extra patience for senior dogs or pets who may feel anxious when their owners are away. I have a 2 year old fur baby of my own, Arlo; who's taught me how important routine, exercise, and affection are for a dog’s happiness and well-being. I’m always able to adjust to your pet's needs and personality. Whether they love long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with someone nearby. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I enjoy spending the majority of my time with animals and being active outdoors. I structure my schedule to allow plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure pets get the attention they need throughout the day. I am sure to keep their routine as consistent as possible with what they’re used to at home. I follow instructions closely when it comes to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I know pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and respect I would give Arlo ❤️. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the pet’s environment and the home itself. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also keeping their surroundings clean and calm. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy levels to make sure they are happy and stress-free while you're away. Communication is also important to me, I like to provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your fur babies are doing well.
“Lissi is an amazing caretaker. I am a first time rover user and she made the experience comfortable for my family and my two dogs. She made sure to follow our checklist, sent lots of pictures and videos, and ensured my girls were happy! She went above and beyond the drop in expectations. My girls love her so much and we look forward to having her in their lives from now on!”
“Soleil was AMAZING, and I genuinely cannot recommend her enough! She took such wonderful care of Lemon while I was away at a conference, and I never had to worry for a second. She was reliable, communicative, incredibly sweet with Lemon, and just made the whole experience so easy. She also went so far above and beyond what I asked her to do. I came home and realized she had cleaned my cat’s litter box AND taken out the trash—neither of which was remotely part of our arrangement! It was such a thoughtful surprise after a long trip, and honestly just says so much about the kind of person she is. I came home to happy pets and a home that had clearly been really cared for, which is about the best feeling you can have after traveling. Soleil is kind, thoughtful, dependable, and an absolute gem. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to basically anyone who will listen. Lemon and I are officially huge Soleil fans!”
“This was my first time with Hannah. She was very accommodating, timely, clean and took great care of my girls. I really appreciated the small things like cleaning the dog bowls after feeding and picking up poop in the yard. That was going the extra mile to me.”
“This is the second time Raymond has petsat my two fur babies—a 46 lb goldendoodle and a 5 lb poodle—and once again, he was absolutely amazing. The first time I was gone for a full week, and when I came home, my dogs were so happy and content I honestly don’t think they even missed me! He walked them regularly, spoiled them with attention, and they were in heaven the entire time. On top of taking such incredible care of my pups, Raymond went above and beyond with my home as well. I returned to a clean, fresh-smelling house—no mess anywhere. He even took care of little things like tidying up and taking out the trash without me ever asking. Zero complaints, just two extremely happy pups who absolutely adore him. I couldn’t recommend Raymond more! The second time was yesterday and he again walked them twice, a total last min. Request and he made it happen! I'm super happy that I found Raymind and booked him! I will continue to use him from now on! I highly recommend him!”
“Kristen was amazing. She came by every day while I was on vacation to take care of my dogs, giving them plenty of playtime and snuggles while also making sure the house stayed in order. She even brought packages in and rotated the lights, which helped me feel at ease while I was away. She sent regular updates and photos that showed how happy and relaxed my pups were. She also scheduled a meet and greet a week beforehand and was so thorough and professional. I felt completely comfortable trusting both my dogs and my home to her. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Ah, thank you Mary! Sounds like he will do just fine with you!! He must like you, it hard sometimes for him to warm up and play with his feather stick! He will be awesome with you for the next visits!!! Thank you!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs throughout my life and genuinely enjoy their company. I currently volunteer at my local animal shelter a few days a week. I have completed the shelters Fear Free training that teaches how to recognize and alleviate Fear, Anxiety, and Stress (FAS) in pets. The training touches on how to read animal body language, low stress handling techniques, environmental and protocol modifications. I have experience with puppies, adults, and senior dogs. I currently work part-time. My schedule consist of working M,W,F at 11:00 AM-3:00 PM and T,Th at 11:00 AM-4:00 PM. I am not scheduled at my day job on the weekends. So on Saturday and Sunday I am available for constant care. I can house sit, do drop in’s, and walks 7 days a week. But on weekdays I will be out 4-5 hours a day due to my work schedule. I will always respect clients boundaries. I understand the importance of leaving the place in good condition and cleaning up after myself. Most importantly sending updates to the owners on how their pets are doing. I also understand the importance of the big responsibility it is to care for my clients pets. I will always treat them as my own, with compassion, care, love and respect.
“Christian is an excellent Rover! She has watched our cat twice now and he has had a great experience both times. We greatly appreciate the number of pictures and detailed reviews she provides us and highly recommend her to other.”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life. From big dogs to small dogs. I currently have a 13 year old French bulldog. She is blind and deaf and has a hard time getting around. I do everything I possibly can to make her happy. From taking slow walks, to administering medication. She is the light of my life. I will make my dog my priority. I will keep them safe and happy. I will love them like they are my own. I am a college student home for the summer. I am currently only working for Rover! I am very flexible with home visits and walk times. My goal is to keep your home and your pets as safe as possible. I will make sure to lock doors, gates, and secure your pet in the home or crates as needed.
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have played "foster mom" to my brother's dog (the cute black lab you see in my photos) while he's on leave. I have experience dealing with reactive dogs so please let me know ahead of time so I can be prepared on walks :) I currently work full time but am working remote on Mondays and Fridays so my flexibility between Friday-Monday is there. For inquiries on Tuesday-Thursday, I'd be available after working hours, 4PM. I always make sure they are comfortable. Give them time to get used to the surroundings and then slowly bringing some familiar items or toys out as something to have. I typically have a blanket for the couch so dogs can lay as well.
About: i’ve had dogs my entire life, i grew up in the company of a pitbull who has unfortunately since passed. although, i do currently own a pomeranian and maltese shih tzu mix! my experience is mainly watching over canine friends through family, friends and neighbors whether it be a quick drop in, going out for a walk, staying in their company or spending the night. i’m also currently studying biology in college so i may pursue veterinary medicine and i’m looking to gain more experience with furry friends! my day job differs weekly so my days look a little different every now and then. my availability will mainly be between before 9 am and after 3-5 pm. if this is a cause of concern, please feel free to reach out with any questions so we may figure something out for the best of us! i provide a welcoming and patient environment where animals feel comfortable, cared for and happy. with a caring approach, i pay attention to every pet’s needs so we may build trust with each other and deliver an enjoyable experience. although i do not provide dog sitting in my own home, i do provide drop ins and overnight stays in your home so your fur baby will stay comfortable and feel safe within their environment!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Los Alamitos
Bronte was great and very understanding. My cats spent most of her visits hiding because she's new and they don't know her. But Malí eventually ventured out and decided Bronte was ok. Hopefully Malí will tell Felis and he'll come out of hiding next time. Thanks, Bronte!
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful, and we felt incredibly fortunate to have her caring for our cats while we were away. She took wonderful care of all four of our indoor cats—Layla, Koda, Meeka, and Bella—as well as the community cats we care for outside. It was obvious throughout the trip that she genuinely cared about their well-being rather than simply stopping by to complete the basics. We have a multi-cat household with several different personalities, needs, and a somewhat complicated feeding routine, and Jennifer handled everything with patience, diligence, and close attention to detail. Bella, our newest addition, was timid with her at first but seemed to warm up very quickly and form a real bond with her. Jennifer spent quality time playing with both Bella and Layla, which meant a great deal to us. Layla, our youngest, has significant trust issues after years of needing regular medication and will usually bolt as soon as a stranger enters the house. Seeing her become comfortable with Jennifer so quickly was unusual and incredibly reassuring. Cats can be very selective about people, particularly ours, so their responses told us a lot about Jennifer’s calm, gentle approach. We also truly appreciated that she didn’t forget about our outdoor community cats. She made sure they were fed, took time to interact and play with them, and included photos of them in her updates. Being able to see that they were also safe and cared for gave us an additional layer of reassurance while we were overseas. Our feeding setup includes several automatic wet-food machines, and Jennifer encountered an issue with one of them during the trip. She attempted to contact us, but because we were overseas and dealing with network problems, I unfortunately did not receive the call. She was resourceful, calmly worked through the problem, and was able to resolve it. She was also proactive about flagging any issues with the machines as they arose, which gave us confidence that she was paying close attention and making sure everything continued to function properly. Her updates were detailed, thoughtful, and communicative, and throughout our trip we felt confident that everyone was being genuinely well looked after. Coming home to happy, relaxed cats is always the best sign that they were in great hands. Even our more cautious cats greeted us when we returned, which told us they had felt safe and secure while we were gone. Jennifer also left us a thoughtful note summarizing how everyone did, which was such a kind personal touch and made us smile after a long day of traveling. We would absolutely trust Jennifer with our pets again and will not hesitate to book her for future trips. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, communicative, attentive, resourceful, and genuinely interested in spending time with animals—not just checking a box. She would be an especially wonderful choice for anyone with multiple pets, shy animals, complicated routines, or pets who need a little extra patience and care.
This is my second time booking with Asmita to take care of my two cats, and once again, she provided amazing service. She is very easy to work with, attentive, and always made sure my cats were well taken care of. She regularly refilled their water, followed all of my requests and instructions, and even helped take care of my mail and packages, which I truly appreciated. What I appreciated the most was the constant updates through pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind while traveling and being away from my cats. Most importantly, she spent quality time with them and made them feel comfortable and cared for. I will definitely continue working with Asmita whenever I travel, and her service has always been 100%.
OMG! I cannot even BEGIN to say how GRATEFUL I AM to have Jessica watch my furbabies! This is my 1st time using Rover & I wasn't worried for one MINUTE that they weren't in the BEST CARE! She made sure my guy got his insulin shots on TIME & even THOUGH the Princessa didn't HONOR Jessica with her presence, she was still so happy to see me when I got home & was no worse for wear! I would recommend her to anyone looking for caring, responsible person to take care of your precious babies, Jessica is it! You won't regret it!
I wanted to tip more but the app limited me? Brionna did a great job and she really helped out by picking up a few more days when I was stuck in Barbados airport with all flights canceled for 3days! Crazy East Coast weather! I recommend using her services as she is professional and thorough. Thank you Brionna!
We love Candy! Candy did great taking care of my kitten and my medically complicated rat. She was able to perform more complicated medical tasks for the rat without difficulty. My pets loved her and she went above and beyond, even stopping to check on my roof to make sure it wasn’t leaking during the rainstorm.
Whitney is the best! So sweet with the animals, and very communicative and sweet with us, too😄 We used her for drop-in kitty visits this time (we use dog walking as well), and will definitely use her again. Whitney makes traveling and being away from the animals very easy.

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.
