About: I've loved animals my whole life and have cared for pets since 2016. I had my own bunny for five years, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how much consistency matters in pet care. Over the years, I've helped roommates, friends, and family with their pets, including feeding, walks (rain included!), baths when needed, cleaning up accidents, playtime, and companionship. While I don't yet provide emergency or medical care beyond the basics, I'm very comfortable with daily routines and making pets feel safe and loved. What sets me apart is that I'm very good at following instructions. I know every pet parent has specific preferences, and I respect that fully. During the first visit, I may ask clarifying questions to make sure I'm doing everything exactly how you like it. I also keep your home tidy and send regular updates with photos so you feel at ease. I'm available weekdays during standard working hours and would love to spend that time giving your pup or kitty attention, movement, and care. I'm currently available on weekdays during standard 9-5 hours, which makes me a great fit for midday walks, drop-in visits, and weekday care. I'm not available on weekends at this time. Since I'm focusing on weekday bookings, I'm able to give your pet my full attention during visits rather than rushing between commitments. Your pet's comfort and your home's safety are very important to me. I carefully follow all instructions, double-check doors and leashes, and make sure your pet is secure before and after walks. I maintain a calm presence and respect both your home and your pet's boundaries. I clean up after pets, keep litter areas and feeding spaces tidy, and leave your home as I found it. Clear communication is important to me, so you can expect updates, photos, and honest check-ins throughout my time with your pet.
“Although this is a last min book, Meerim did an amazing job! She was very responsive and took good care of Judy while I was away for 5 days. She also communicated things well during the meet and greet to make sure she understood Judy’s needs. I will definitely reach out to Meerim again for any future bookings.”
“Kelun is so thoughtful and a great sitter! She is thorough and was more than accommodating when we requested some additional things such as checking the temp and airing our apartment out. We’d definitely trust her again!”
“Jiwon is very kind and communicative, and I felt that my cat was in good hands with her. She gave concise and thoughtful updates each visit and has a genuine love of animals :-).”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats and I truly enjoy being around animals. I am responsible, patient, and reliable. I understand how important pets are to their families and I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule and I am available for drop-in visits and dog walking during weekdays and weekends. I am reliable, organized, and able to accommodate different schedules when needed. I always make pet safety my priority and follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I provide a calm, caring, and trustworthy environment and make sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for during each visit.
About: Dogs and cats have been a meaningful part of my life for the past 18 years, and caring for them has taught me how much love, patience, and trust goes into pet care. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will truly pay attention and treat them with kindness. What sets me apart is that I’m very detail-oriented and empathetic. I notice small changes in behavior, energy, appetite, or mood, and I adjust based on what each pet needs. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and pets who need a calm, gentle approach. I can also help reinforce basic routines like feeding schedules, leash manners, and calm behavior. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Here’s a good way to phrase it: I’m currently between full-time roles, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and consistent care, and I can usually accommodate mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Because my schedule is open, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, stick closely to their routines, and be reliable for last-minute or recurring bookings. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. In my home or a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medications, and any house rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I always pay attention to the pet’s behavior and comfort level. I keep the environment calm, clean, and low-stress, especially for senior dogs or pets who need extra patience. I’ll also provide updates so owners know their pet is safe, cared for, and happy.
“Courtney always does such a wonderful job when she walks and checks in our Fufu. I feel much more at ease knowing she will be coming by. I also love the pictures she sends of their time together so I can see him and know he's having fun.”
“Josh was awesome. He was able to build rapport with my dogs so quickly which is definitely not the easy. Josh was super communicative with lots of great pictures and videos. I could tell the dogs were very comfortable and happy with Josh. 100% will ask for Josh’s help next time we travel.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Los Altos
Xiao is an incredible and highly responsible sitter! She recently watched my cat, Coco, and handled an unexpected accident on the sofa with absolute grace and professionalism. She cleaned it up thoroughly right away and communicated everything to me clearly, which I deeply appreciated. She also closely monitored Coco's routines to make sure she was doing well. Xiao is trustworthy, communicative, and truly cares about the pets she watches. I will absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone on Rover!
I’m very grateful for Mica’s attentive and caring service while taking care of my kitties when I was away, including giving one of my cats their inhaler medication. She was reliable, kind, and thoughtful, and I definitely hope to continue having her help in the future.
Barbara is wonderful! She is a cat “whisperer “, and instantly made a connection with both of our cats the very first time she met them. She was very good with communicating and sending pictures, and even went above and beyond, watering our impatiens outside! We will absolutely use her again!!
Michael was amazing. He understood every ask I gave of him, even those that were conditional on what he saw at our house. He made sure to give my cat the full time, and never let her out of his sight while he was with her. I would happily book him again to take care of my cat
Miriam was amazing! My 2 cats are typically very shy and do not engage with the sitter but they came out for her. Marshmellow, my ragdoll, came to her when she came for the meet & greet visit. My kitties were happy and well cared for during the approximately 2 weeks we were away. I was very happy with her care of my large cats and her professionalism. I would happily rebook her again for my next trip.
I was very impressed with G.'s visits. My cat is very skittish but when I returned from my trip, she was calm so I think G. did nothing to cause anxiety. In addition, in one of her daily reports, G. pointed out something about the cat's feeding habits. I was aware of this but felt that it was very responsible of G. to notice it after just a couple of days and bring it to my attention. I will be calling G. the next time I have a trip planned. Thank you G. for being so conscientious.
Rachel is our regular and favorite cat sitter since we joined Rover over a few years ago! She’s very reliable, has excellent communication, provides fun, detailed reports and sweet photos of my two cats. I can go on trips in peace knowing Rachel is handling everything. She takes great care of my apartment and cats and they absolutely love her! Rachel is the absolute best!
We had a wonderful experience with Anastacia.. she took great care of our cat and dog, kept us updated with the cutest Rover Cards and made us feel confident and comfortable while we were away. We would definitely love to have her pet sit for us again and recommend her to others!

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.

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.
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.
