“Makaela provided great service and care to my cat Rumi. She was very responsive and able to accommodate my request for drop in visits with a short notice. She also was very friendly, responsible, and provided great updates including pictures of my kitty Rumi. I will definitely use Makaela in the future!”
About: Looking for opportunities to walk and play with dogs and to be ignored by cats. All will get tender care. Senior care, adult, puppy/kitten attention. To provide care consistent with what you want for your beloved companions My schedule is flexible and can accommodate planned and short notice pet/companion care visits. Your companions will have my full attention with visits and walks. My two beloved cats are indoor only. Love being brushed and to play with their toys. My dogs were always secured in a fenced yard and monitored while outside. Walks, fetch, floor play with their toys. Lots of love for all just hanging out with them.
About: I’ve been around and caring for animals for over 20 years, and caring for pets has always been something that comes naturally to me. I have experience with both dogs and cats, from playful puppies and energetic dogs to independent and more laid-back pets. I currently have pets of my own, so I understand how much trust goes into leaving your furry family member with someone else. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding schedules, or simply keeping them company. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I work a flexible remote schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs, including walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship. I’ll communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve rather than simply being left alone. I have a clean, comfortable home with two friendly cats, and while my yard is not fenced, I’m always happy to take dogs on walks for exercise and enrichment. I take safety seriously and would never leave a pet unattended outside. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routines, including leash walks, feeding schedules, crate routines, playtime, and any special instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Kayla did all that was asked and more. She followed the list and took care of my sweet Peach. She also was concerned and tried to comfort Peach when I was gone for a while. Make sure to book Kayla for your fur baby.”
“Shamarah did a great job with drop in visits for our 2 dogs (one of which is 18 and requires special attention). She was conciencious, caring, and communicative. We highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, from small to large breeds. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love caring for pets like they’re family. I work with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day and week. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or more relaxed and routine-oriented, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel comfortable and safe. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and behavior, and I provide lots of care, patience, and attention.
“Forest was great! He quickly befriended my kitties and took excellent care of them with his daily drop ins. The daily photos were perfect and he kept me informed of everything. I’ll definitely be rebooking!”
“Cami was so excellent with my sweet kitty Lucy - incredibly accommodating with my last-minute requests, and so attentive to Lucy’s needs. I returned to a really content cat which is all I could ask for!”
“Joshua was an excellent pet sitter! He was communicative, reliable, and took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in great hands. We truly appreciated his kindness and professionalism, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a college student looking to spend some time with some pets since I grew up having them. I go on walks every day in my free time and would love to have a companion that needs to get outside too! I have had a collection of jobs including working with children, the elderly, young people with disabilities, and of course, pet sitting and dog walking. All of this makes me a responsible and respectful person that is a great fit for taking care of your pet! Currently a college student that can walk in the mornings before class everyday. Primarily I would love to walk or house sit Fridays through Mondays. I am a cat owner now and grew up with a lot of dogs. I am an avid hiker and love long walks. My job growing up was always taking the dogs for long walks until they were tuckered out.

“Cara is excellent. She has watched our cats / home the last 2 times we have been out of town and we plan to ask her again. She is easy to work with, communicates well. Was very detailed oriented and even double checked that our lockbox worked before we went out of town when we had a pre-trip meet up. We are very grateful for her support.”
About: I have 6 years of experience in the veterinary field and have been pet sitting for more than 10 years. I am available for walks, quick 30 or 60-minute drops ins and the occasional overnight stay at your home. I am able to give oral and/or injectable medications, feed, provide light grooming, walk and/or run with your pet, and most importantly give them all of the love and affection they need! Im currently unemployed from the corporate world so I have plenty of time to walk/watch your pets. I currently do not have any pets so I am always excited for opportunities to incorporate them into my life. Since I mostly only do walks and check ins, I always make sure that safety of your pet is a top priority. Will always check for details about what leashes to use, where to walk, where to avoid, etc. will never let dogs interact with others unless given the ok from owner. Will always respect strict diets, commands, etc when given the information.
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets with different needs—from energetic puppies to older dogs needing gentle walks or medication. I’m attentive, calm, and detail-oriented, making sure every pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. You can count on me for reliable communication and genuine care every time. I'm currently working a part time job and available anytime after 4pm on Sundays and anytime before 4pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and free the rest of the week and very flexible on any time you need. My own two dogs, two decently sized border collies, one very energetic, one lazy, who have a whole backyard to themselves along with a kennel in the garage connected by a doggy door to the backyard! I feed them two times a day and walk them at least once a day, and constantly check their water bowls.
“Elly was amazing with my cat, she sent me lots of sweet pictures of him and they seemed to really bond! When I got home he was very happy, water and food were full, and everything was clean. Highly recommend Elly for any of your pet-sitting needs, she seems to have a way with animals!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Los Osos stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
