“Miriam is a wonderful pet-sitter. We hired her for drop-in visits with our two cats while we were out of town for a long weekend. Not only did she take excellent care of them, but she also arrived early in the morning each day, which I really appreciated. The cats' routine was never disrupted and we came home to two well-fed, groomed, and happy kitties. We will definitely hire Miriam again!”

“Jonathan took amazing care of our two cats and kept us updated with photos and messages, which we loved. Our cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got home. We couldn’t have asked for better—highly recommend! 😸😸”

About: I have cared for dogs of all kinds and ages since I was a child. I've trained puppies, cared for elder dogs, and worked with service dogs as well. January, 2026: I am working part time & remote so my schedule for pet care is very flexible! I'm available for a single day or for longer-term arrangements. I will be happy to help take care of your pets in their homes. At this time I do not have the ability to pet-sit or board at my home.
“Excellent sitter, clearly cared for the boys beyond the requirements. He got an inconsistent eater to eat, cleaned up after one that micturated on a rug, and even played music for them. The one that's generally friendly loved him, and the one that's generally unfriendly tolerated him right off the bat which is impressive.”

“Cordigen was very caring. She noted everything I said and went above and beyond to take care of Nayo. Nayo was so happy every day when she came! We had a great peace of mind the few days we were away.”

“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.”

“This is the first time I have used Rover.com to find a pet sitter for our cats. I reached out to Tyler and had a meet and greet with him. Tyler was wonderful with the care of our kitties. I could tell that they were cared for as they seemed calm (not starved for attention) upon our return 7 days later. I loved the daily reports and photos from Tyler. He kept me informed and the pet areas (litter, feeding mats) were clean. It was a pleasure to have Tyler take care of our cats. I would definitely recommend him and will book him again next time we have a trip.”

About: Hi, my name is Amara. I have taken care of dogs for most of my life, including our family dogs since high school. I took over the care of my sister's dog after she had twins, until his passing at nearly 19 years. I am familiar with senior dogs and administering medications. I believe that our dogs are family members and will treat your pet with the best possible care and attention. I can provide round the clock care on most days to maintain your dog's regular routine as much as possible. We can discuss what your preferences are. I will take care of your dog based on your instructions. I will diligently make sure that your dog is safe, comfortable, happy under my care and your home is looked after. Each dog is different, and I'll adjust to provide personalized care to meet your dog's needs and preference. I can provide exercises such as walking, hiking, playing fetch, or snuggling on the couch. I will provide you frequent updates and photos. I'm a text away and will respond to your inquiries promptly.
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.
About: Hi, I'm Lizzy! I am a graduate student at Palo Alto University, I have had my labrador since he was the length of my forearm! We've had many adventures together. I hope to have many adventures with your puppies (even the big dogs are puppies to me). As a dedicated dog lover, I aim to befriend your pet's personality and absolutely spoil them! I am very responsive and love providing updates of your pet's adventures! I have time every day of the week to check in and be with your pet. While I won't be having pets in my home, watching them thrive in their familiar home sounds like a great time! I am SO ready to play with them, take them out in the nice weather, and give them all the attention they deserve (which is every ounce!)
“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.”
“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.”

About: I grew up on a farm, so I have known, cared for, and loved animals for as long as I can remember. I have had small dogs, big dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, bunnies, sheep, cows, pigs, and horses. Point is, I have always loved animals, I come from a family that loves animals, and promise to take care and love yours as if they are my own. I currently have a 6 year old Cane Corso (Maeve) and a 3 year old cat (Ghost). My last cat (Gati) lived till she was 18 and childhood dog (Snoopy) lived till he was 16. I can send you as many updates and pictures as your heart desires, I know how terrifying it is to leave your baby in the care and hands of someone else and I completely understand if you have any concerns or questions; I am more than happy to answer them! I promise to take the best care of your fur-baby and make sure that they (and you) feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you are away! I'm currently at doctoral student at Stanford, so I spend most of my days studying and going for walks/hikes. I can take them on walks every 2 hours. I am free most of the day outside of my classes, relaxing, so you can rest assured your baby will be safe, looked after, and cared for! I can study while I watch them and take study breaks going for walks together! I am more than happy to make any accommodations or address any needs you'll need to ensure your baby's comfort and safety! I currently live with my boyfriend in an apartment, so he can take care of Maeve at home (our dog), and I am able to pet sit for as long as you need. I have a cane corso, so I am used to playing ALOT (tug of war, chasing, hyping them up, etc). I am no stranger to big and energetic dogs, so trust me I can handle anything you throw at me. As for cats, I can play or chill and pet them all day, if you let me.

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover with 10+ years of pet care experience. Your pup’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I love sharing the fun we’re having, so I will keep you updated with frequent messages and photos of your furbaby's wellbeing throughout their stay. You'll never have to wonder how they're doing! As a software engineer with a flexible remote schedule, I only go into the office two days a week. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your furbaby. I guarantee three walks a day and love taking your furbaby to the nearby dog park for exercise and socialization. Whether I'm working from home or off for the weekend, your furbaby will be a central part of my daily routine. Safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for your furbaby, I maintain a highly supervised environment and strictly follow your established feeding, exercise, and medication routines.
“This was our cat's first time being house sat. Andrea did a great job taking pictures and keeping us updated. Our cat seemed very comfortable with Andrea. Highly recommend Andrea!”

“Rachel was amazing taking care of my two kitties while we were away. She was always in communication and kept me updated on how they were doing with pictures and videos! I would highly recommend Rachel !”

Andriana was amazing! I was a first time rover user and she explained the process and was very professional. She was gentle with our two cats and was dedicated to learning about their routines and how to properly take care of them! Andriana was great at communication throughout the whole time and I never had to worry about getting updates. I highly recommend Andriana for any pet needs!

Andrea was so sweet with Benny 🐈⬛ and took great care of him while I was away. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals, and it made me feel really comfortable leaving him with her. Benny seemed happy and relaxed when I got back, which says a lot. I’d definitely trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter!

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!

We hired Lisa to help with 1 diabetic cat + 1 territorial cat on our wedding night. She was amazing - before, during, and after the care. She took care of the accidents that the diabetic cat made and helped empty the litter box drawer. We didn’t have to worry about cleaning after a long wedding day. 100% worth reaching out to her. The communication was smooth and she replies pretty fast! Our diabetic cat seemed to love her in the photo she sent (it’s rare to see her lean against a “stranger”)

Xiao did a fantastic job watching my two cats. She possesses an expert knowledge of animals, is very communicative, caring and kept my little guys comfortable during a recent weekend away. I would highly recommend Xiao to anyone in need of assistance with their furballs
Chelsey was great with my two cats!! She did drop-in visits for me for 7 days. She is definitely a pro, and I felt confident they were loving their play-time with her and were in great hands. She even brought her own laser toy since mine was dying! Appreciate her care :)

I had a great experience with Kenzi!! She was very responsive, easy to communication with, and clearly cared a lot. My cat loved her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Everything went smoothly and I will definitely book with her again! Overall and all around great experience :)

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.
Madison was fantastic with our two cats and did a wonderful job keeping our plants watered and happy while we were away! She sent great updates with photos, which put our minds at ease. The cats warmed up to her quickly and seemed very comfortable. Our plants looked just as healthy when we returned. Highly recommend Madison — reliable, caring, and communicative. 5/5 stars!

I can’t thank Yuki enough for her responsiveness and care. I had a moment of panic when I couldn't spot my cat on camera, but Yuki rushed over to my place right away to verify everything was okay. Her quick action and dedication saved my trip. If you're looking for a sitter who truly cares about your pets' well-being and your peace of mind, Yuki is the one!
