About: Hi there! I'm Louise, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — I grew up with dogs and cats and have never been without a pet by my side. That lifelong experience means I'm genuinely comfortable and confident with animals of every age and stage, from bouncy puppies and curious kittens to gentle, slower-paced seniors who need a little extra care. I understand that handing your pet over to someone new can feel nerve-wracking, so I treat every dog and cat in my care the way I'd want my own treated — with patience, attention, and plenty of affection. I'm experienced in administering medication, so if your pet has ongoing health needs, allergies, or is recovering from something, you can relax knowing they're in capable hands. Whether your pet needs a calm routine, an active play session, or just someone to sit with them and keep them company, I'll take the time to learn their personality and quirks so they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout our time together, because I know how much peace of mind that brings. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I'd love to meet you both! I'm a full-time parent, so pet care fits neatly around the school day. I'm available for visits on weekdays during school hours, plus some Saturdays, giving pets a calm, consistent routine. I provide care entirely in your own home, so your pet stays in their familiar environment with their normal routine, bed, and belongings — no stress of travel or a new space. I take time to learn each pet's habits, boundaries, and any specific needs before I start, and I'm comfortable administering medication if required. I always follow the instructions you leave for feeding, walks, or house rules, and I'm attentive to small signs of stress or discomfort so I can respond calmly and appropriately. I keep the home secure while I'm there — locking doors, keeping gates closed, and leaving everything as I found it — and I send photo and text updates throughout the visit so you always know how things are going.

About: A reliable, detail-oriented, pet sitter for clients with busy schedules, who value consistency and communication. I have experience caring for pets in house, managing daily routines such as feeding, getting good walks in, quality time. Also, experienced with administration of medication. Keeping pets comfortable and calm so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m highly attentive and treat each home with care as a guest. Trust is everything when someone is entering your space. I’m a strong fit for clients who appreciate cleanliness, professionalism, and clear communication with a peace of mind knowing their home and pets are properly being cared for. For select overnight stays, I’ll be accompanied by my friendly, well-house trained dog ( with prior approval ) He’s the best boy and loves all dogs and cats! Having a dog myself, consistent routines are important. I’m flexible with scheduling and able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening care as needed with each booking. A lot of my clients from other mediums have been high class professionals and have very detailed and specific needs that need to be executed correctly. I treat every space with care and discretion. I have great private references that I would be happy to connect you with.

About: Hello, animal parents! I’m Taylor, a 36-year-old long-time professional animal and human caretaker with great references. I’m available for drop-in visits for cats, dogs, horses and other hoofed loved ones, as well as reptiles, amphibians, fish, and any other little critters. Need me to visit your tarantula? I would love nothing more. :) My partner and I have two cats, three dogs, and pond fish. I have many years of experience with senior cats and pups and administering medications. Happy to do some heavy lifting for pets with mobility challenges (up to 80lbs). I’m big on respecting animals’ boundaries, and know all the body language signs for dogs, cats, and horses. Bonus: my own beloved fur children and I have also completed many positive reinforcement dog training courses (so I won’t undo the progress you’ve made with your puppy)! Double bonus: natural horsemanship classes. In my spare time, I like to read, hike, play games, spend time with my human and animal loved ones, and volunteer at the LGBT Center. By day, I am a caregiver (to humans), a pet-sitter, and a social work student. I’m available for early morning and evening animal visits during the week, and morning, midday, and evening visits on the weekends. At this time, I am only available for drop-in visits. I am careful, respectful, and kind. I treat the animals temporarily under my care as I would want someone to care for my own fur children. By hiring me, you’re getting the benefit of the experience of an eldest child of five who cared for her siblings (and pets) in her teens, then dogs, cats, and horses professionally in her early 20s, and elderly patients (and so many more animals) in her 30s.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I currently have two dogs, two cats, and fish, and I’ve also cared for birds, guinea pigs, and rabbits throughout my life. Having experience with so many different animals has taught me that every pet has its own personality, needs, and routines. As a mom of two young children and an educator, I’m patient, responsible, attentive to details, and great at following instructions. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind! I work part-time as a tutor and caregiver for an adult with special needs, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to find times that work best for their pets’ routines and needs. I understand how important consistency is for animals, and I’ll do my best to provide dependable, attentive care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s day! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and feel comfortable while you’re away. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the importance of following feeding schedules, respecting each pet’s boundaries, keeping doors and gates secure, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, give your pets plenty of attention and affection, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, trustworthy hands.

About: Hello! 🐾 Working with animals has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs and cats, including experience in dog grooming, working in a veterinary clinic, and providing professional pet-sitting services. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and truly dedicated to providing the best care possible for every pet I look after. I love going the extra mile for my clients and making sure their fur babies feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re away. Whether that means taking the pups on fun little field trips and adventures or simply staying home, cuddling, and keeping them company, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. 🐶💕 Your pets are family, and I treat them that way! 🐾🌸🩷 Feel free to send me a message so we can set up a meet-and-greet. I’d absolutely love the opportunity to meet you and your fur baby! ☺️🐶🐾💕 I have a very flexible schedule and am able to work around each client’s individual needs and routine. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules, whether that means daily visits, overnight stays, walks, or simply providing companionship and care while you’re away. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. When caring for pets, I like to learn as much as possible about their individual routines and needs so I can provide the best care possible. I like to know their feeding schedule, any medications they may be taking, and whether there are any behavioral or special needs I should be aware of. I also take into consideration their age, whether they are a puppy, kitten, adult, or senior, as some pets may need a little extra attention, patience, or care. For every pet-sitting arrangement, I also appreciate having an emergency contact and the information for their regular veterinarian or a nearby emergency vet, just in case something unexpected happens. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for just as they would be at home.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life. My first puppy was a Yorkie named Lola, who I got when I was 5 — she was my first love! Animals have always been one of the most meaningful parts of my life, and that hasn’t changed. I currently live with two cats and a dog, including my cat Kai, who is truly my pride and joy and the light of my life. I’d do absolutely anything for him, so I know firsthand what it’s like to love and care for your pet like they’re your child. Growing up, a lot of my volunteer work centered around animals, from helping at shelters to walking dogs in my neighborhood. I’d love to be an extra source of love, care, and support for you and your little one, and hopefully become your pet’s new favorite neighborhood friend! I care for the pets in my house everyday normally - as well as my partners cat. I also just finished the project I was on and have a lot of free time to help support you and your pets! I approach every animal I meet with gentleness and patience. Building trust is extremely important and every animal of different. I’m here to learn what your animal needs from me and adjust my approach intuitively.

About: I’m the friend everyone calls when they need someone to watch their dog! 😊 I’ve been taking care of my friends’ dogs regularly for years — sometimes for a day, sometimes for longer stays — and I genuinely love having them around. That’s actually what made me finally decide to join Rover. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, following your dog’s usual routine, and of course giving them lots of attention and affection. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to personally care for every pet throughout the day. I have a 1.7 year-old daughter who absolutely loves animals and has separate childcare, allowing me to give your dog my full attention. I am the only person responsible for pet care during all Rover bookings. My home is located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood that’s perfect for walks. I also have a private, fully fenced backyard with a high fence, providing a safe and comfortable space for outdoor playtime. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will receive plenty of individual attention, love, and care. I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, happy and truly at home! 🐾❤️ I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to personally care for pets throughout the day.

“We had an excellent experience and couldn’t have been happier with the care our dog received. She was extremely reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout the entire time we were away. She kept us updated after every visit with great photos and messages, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She also frequently spent extra time with her beyond the scheduled visit, making sure she had plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. It was very clear that she wasn’t simply checking off a visit—she genuinely cared about her and wanted her to be happy and comfortable. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and everything had gone perfectly. It is a huge relief to find someone you can completely trust with your dog and your home while you’re away. We would absolutely book her again and recommend her without hesitation. Five stars!”

About: I've grown up with dogs and cats etc.; As a 10 y/o, I cared for guinea pigs and our family dog 'Keeper', fully against my will as a 10y/o. Growing pains aside, those formidable years taught me how to care on a high level and own responsibility. More importantly, it taught me a high level of care, compassion and duty. What? You think I had knowledge of how to care for them at the time? No. Much less how to clean those living spaces? Nope! But I did it anyways and that in hindsight has fortified my abilities to care for at a high level. I have flexibility in my day to day, but I am primarily looking for weekend work. I have flexibility for long term home-in care as well. I love my pets like family. You can fully trust me to treat your dogs as if they are my family, bc if I am in care of them, then they are my family for life.

Expert knowledge of brachycephalic health needs, backed by a decade of personal ownership of a Pug. Reliable, attentive, and trusted through years of diverse pet-sitting and walking experience.

About: A focal point in my life since day one has been animals. Pets in every home. I went to high school adjacent to the LA Zoo. I interned at a dairy farm at UC Davis. I started cat/dog/housesitting in 2012. I’ve looked after dogs with different energy levels and personalities, as well as cats who need anything from lots of attention to complete independence. I’m especially good at reading cues and adjusting quickly. I’m very routine-oriented and reliable, so feeding schedules, medications, and daily habits are always followed closely. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. Beyond pet care, I’m someone who naturally keeps a home in great shape. I’m tidy, respectful, and attentive to details, happy to water plants, keep things organized, and make sure everything feels calm and well cared for. What really sets me apart is that I treat every sit with intention. Your pet isn’t just being watched, they’re being understood and cared for in a way that helps them feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely at ease. I am working part-time and have the time, energy and unconditional love to provide care for all pets. I live alone and am home most of the day. I abide by your rules and make sure your pets remain taken care of. My goal is to ensure everyone’s safety and wellbeing. I am a big walker and live near parks.

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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
