“Kayla dropped in for two days- four visits, at my home to watch my doggie while I was away. I felt complete trust and confidence in Kayla when I met her. She took loving care of my Labrador and followed the instructions I left perfectly. She updated me on all details , took amazing pics of my dog and made sure she was happy and safe on her walks and when they returned. I’m so glad we found Kayla to take care of our lab while we were away ! I hope she is able to return for future drop-in’s. I highly recommend her !”

About: I have had a pet dog or cat ever since I was born. I have had experience with pets at a variety of ages, including very young, and super seniors, such as 20. Depending on the times that you may need sitting, I am available to come early in the morning, feed to your specifications, and do a variety of other pet caring chores. If your pet requires lots of play to get energy out, that is something I more more than happy to do. I have helped care for a variety of age groups and energies. Theres a big difference in the work required for an active puppy, and an aging friend.

About: Hi! I'm a certified dog trainer (Good Pup) and a natural cat whisperer. I pet sat for over 50 (and counting) dogs, cats, pigs, bunnies, fish and frogs. I studied Therapeutic Horsemanship. I had my own fantastic furbaby dog (now angel) named Oliver for 10 blessed years. I'm experienced with administering medicine, and with earning comfort and trust from anxious, stubborn animals. And above all, I truly and sincerely love animals. I am at awe with their heart based, present moment, authentic existence. If you wish to schedule a meet & greet we can either: ~Book first, and then happy to arrive sometime before the sit for you to introduce me to your pet (free of charge). OR ~If you wish to have a meet & greet prior to deciding on booking, please book a Drop-In Visit with me. *Personally I don't need it as I have experience of meeting animals in their home for the first time without their owners being present, but I understand if you prefer to have it. So it's completely up to you! I mostly work from home so will be spending good quality time with your fur baby. Whether they need extra exercise, extra couch cuddles, or both! I'm up for it! I care for them like they are my own. They'll have what they're used to, and more! If they have a steady routine, I will honor it. I'm happy to send pics daily, unless you prefer less :) - usually I send once every evening. I'm very clean and tidy and enjoy harmonious environment; so will keep your place that way! ***No indoor, backyard/balcony cameras. Exterior, street facing camera for security purposes is OK Thank you for your trust, I promise to tend to them (and your home) with the outmost reverence and love <3
“Outstanding and reliable, with excellent communication! We have several pets (cat, tortoise, dragon, dogs, fish) and it’s good to know that we can count on Oli to perform our complicated pet routine when we’re away. Thanks!”
“Debora was excellent, friendly, and accommodated me under short time constraints (and great stress for me) when another pre-booked Rover sitter became unresponsive. So glad I found her! Great communication with updates and photos out me at ease when I was traveling! A+++”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. Having grown up around dogs and cats, now raising a puppy of my own. I understand how important patience, consistency, and genuine care are when it comes to pets. I treat every dog like family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup or kitty loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve :). I’m currently only part-time, my shifts are no longer than 6 hrs, and I work about 4x a week. Which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I wake up early and can provide morning feedings, giving medication, and regular checkups throughout the day. Pets are never left alone for extended periods of time. As a dog owner, I’m experienced with daily pet care including feeding, exercise, and playtime. My dog enjoy spending time in our secured backyard, where they can run around and play safely. I prioritize a clean environment and attentive care to make sure your pet is comfortable and happy.
About: The last two dogs I had were the best pets I've ever had, one in particular I took everywhere, hiking, running, swimming and even to play basketball. I even took her halfway up Mt. Diablo one time. I feel like every dog owner should expose their dogs to many outside environments, something other than there backyard or house. The only regrets I have about my past ownership is not taking my dogs out everyday. As an owner I believe that dogs should be treated more than just a convenient stress reliever. Dogs can be your closest friend so they ought to be cared for and treated like a great one. What I bring to the table is a genuine love for all dogs and an understanding of their needs. I can be fairly flexible on weekdays for visits and walks, but am mostly available only in the afternoon. Weekends, I am pretty much always available. House sits I can do any day of the week. To start off, I always start off by caring for the pet as outlined by the owner (routines, feeding schedules, medications, things to avoid, walks). But in addition to that, I like to have some fun with the dogs that I sit. I will play with them a bit and in general just hang out with them.
About: I’ve had 2 large dogs, 3 cats, and 2 bunnies my whole life! I’m ready and excited for whatever gets thrown at me!

Most days I am at home working on the computer, which makes it easy to spend time with your pups :) I’m a very loving pet sitter. I know basic training and will take them on really fun walks. They will also get all the cuddles!
About: Hi,my partner and I have cared for dogs, cats and other pets for a long time. She has over 20 years of professional grooming and boarding experience, I personally have cared for them for over 15 years. Together we will care for your precious furry companion(s). We both work at home so we are available to care for them. Family, friends and clients have all relied on us to take care of their pets from checking in with them, feeding, walking, playing, grooming/ bathing and taking care of them. We love pets and animals, they are a big part of our life’s. We look forward to meeting you and your furry companion(s).

With both of us sharing pet care responsibilities, we’re able to keep a flexible schedule and make sure every dog enjoys quality time, attention, and activity throughout the day. Your best friend won’t miss a single walk, adventure, or opportunity to burn off energy. Every day with us is an adventure your dog will love. We kick things off with an energizing morning walk through beautiful Agoura Hills, letting your pup take in all the sights, smells, and fresh air. After breakfast and a cozy rest, the fun begins—outdoor play sessions, plenty of space to explore, and lots of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Whether your dog loves to run, play, or simply relax, we keep their routine engaging, balanced, and full of joy. By the end of the day, you’ll pick up a happy, tired, and completely satisfied pup.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Malibu stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 .

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.
