“We had complicated instructions for our doggies, including medication, and Makenna did everything perfectly. She was always right on time, and our dogs loved her. We hope to use her again! We loved the pictures she sent and the descriptions of what they were doing and how they were behaving.”
“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 :-).”
“Miriam is a wonderful pet sitter! We needed some last minute help with our dogs, so I reached out to her to ask if she was available. She went out of her way to accommodate our request and was able to take excellent care of our dogs for the entire time we needed. She also fed them at the appropriate time and monitored their activities very well. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for professional care for their pets! I hope to have her look after our dogs again soon!”
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.
“Jess was awesome! We had a change of plans last minute before the Memorial Day weekend and I was able to find Jess the day before we left. We scheduled a meet and greet the day we were leaving to give her the rundown on how to take care of our dog (Bella), 3 guinea pigs, and rabbit. She took it all in and exceeded my expectations as I was expecting a phone call or message about something but I never did. She absolutely took great care of all of our animals!”
“Alexis was fabulous! She took care of my cat Alfred over a weekend while I was away, feeding him and changing his water, and made sure to send me plenty of pictures of him enjoying himself! I would definitely book with her again.”
“Mariana did a wonderful job watching my cat while I was away. Her descriptions of how my cat was doing were spectacular. I felt very comfortable with her watching after the cat.”
“Caroline was so easy to communicate with throughout, helping set my mind at ease that my three cats were getting the care I had hoped for. She provided a lovely little summary and photos each day, allowing me to get a glimpse of how my furbabies were doing. She regularly administered medication to my one cat who has a digestive issues. She kept me updated when she vomited (an occasional issue) and cleaned it up. She followed my requests around opening a few windows during her visits, refilling a humidifier regularly for my one cat’s asthma or plugging in the AC the night before a hot day. I appreciated knowing my cats had such a reliable caring person to check in on them, play with them, give them the attention they wanted, and provide food and water. I would absolutely have Caroline care for my cats again!”
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!)
“Anastacia is incredible! From the moment we reached out to her for the first time, she has been uber-responsive and courteous. She has been truly eager to know everyway she could look after our cats better and even went beyond to ensure our plants were watered! Most importantly our cats appeared genuinely happy to have her around which makes all the more easier to recommend her! We really look forward to working with her in the future and if you are reading this, then we'd encourage you do too!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Sara was so awesome! She was friendly, responsible, and an animal lover. Every time she sends us a report on the cat’s condition and It made us feel comfortable leaving him in her care. We were very satisfied with her service. We will definitely book Sara next time.”
“Guilherme did a great job with our dogs! He was timely and provided a lovely update about his visit. We’re very thankful he has been able to help when we need it!”
“Artem was amazing!! He took exceptional care of Kylee and Rambo making sure they both got plenty of activity attention and love. His communication and reliability are 10/10 will definitely use again!!!!”
“Dog Sitter Review: Exceptional Care and Attention! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of using John for the second time, and once again, he exceeded all my expectations! This time, he took care of not just my resident dog but also my foster puppy, and I couldn't be more grateful for his dedication and compassion. It was clear that John has a genuine love for animals. He provided both dogs with plenty of attention, playtime, and care, ensuring they felt comfortable and happy during my absence. His ability to manage the needs of both my resident dog and a young, energetic puppy was impressive, and it gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. What truly stood out this time was the extra effort he put into making my home feel welcoming upon my return. Not only did he take great care of my dogs, but he also went above and beyond by cleaning my apartment and even disposing of my trash! It’s those little touches that show how much he cares about his clients and their homes. I cannot recommend John enough! His professionalism, attentiveness, and kindness make him an outstanding choice for pet care. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family and ensure your home is well taken care of, look no further. I will definitely be using his services again in the future! Thank you,John, for all that you do!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Los Altos Hills
Kevin did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. He was friendly and easy to communicate with. During our meet, he asked thoughtful questions about my cat’s routine and even small details like litter disposal, which really showed his experience and attention to detail. During each visit, he not only handled all the basics but also spent time playing with my cat, which I really appreciated. I felt totally at ease knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely book with Kevin again. Highly recommended!
Lisa took great care of my two cats! One of them is very shy and the other is super playful, but Lisa made sure both felt comfortable and gave my active cat plenty of fun playtime. This isn't the first time I've hired Lisa, but it was her first time caring for both cats together, and as always, she did a fantastic job. Highly recommend her!
Kathrine checked in on our cat, Hadoop, twice a day reliably. She has great communication, is very friendly, and made my older cat feel comfortable right away. She was able to give him his pills no problem and I appreciate that she asked when she had a question. Would definitely recommended her!
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.
Katelyn was absolutely incredible with my two cats! She did a fantastic job feeding and playing with them, and she sent tons of wonderful photo updates that totally put my mind at ease. On top of that, one of my kitties had a messy bathroom accident, and she went above and beyond to clean everything up.
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.
