“Cydney did amazing!! Kept in touch with me the whole time and was even available last minute! Also, lulu had upset stomach and ended up puking during her visit and she informed me right away and cleaned it up. I definitely recommend booking her!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and love them. I have rescued multiple senior dogs and am comfortable with all kinds of personalities and breeds. I currently have two extremely friendly young dogs if your dog wants a walking buddy, they would love that!! I currently work a flexible part time job and am getting in shape for our wedding this spring so I want to walk and hike as much as possible. I would love to have more pups to walk and play with in addition to mine! I have a fenced in yard, a ball launcher in the backyard to play with, two VERY friendly and well-socialized young dogs to play with your fur baby! I love walking and hiking, and would love to take your pup with us during the day.
“Brandy was absolutely wonderful with Mia! She took such great care of her, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mia was in such loving and attentive hands. It’s clear Brandy truly cares about the pets she looks after, and that means everything to us. We’re so happy to have found such a reliable and caring sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: My mother was a breeder for all sorts of dogs my entire upbringing, so learning dog body language is second nature! I’ve also been around all sorts of bully breeds and own one myself! So not bully prejudice here! I also have loads of chihuahuas, so I feel I’m comfortable working with a variety size of pets, and numbers. I’m also good with cats! So if you have a mixed household, it’s no extra sweat! From mastiffs, to huskies, German Sheppards, blue heelers, collies, to pit bulls, bull terriers, bulldogs, chihuahuas, weenie dogs, greyhounds, and pugs, i feel I can take care of them all! I also babysit for a family on Wednesdays, so the rest of the week, I’m pretty set! I’ll let them know a week prior so nothing gets confused! I’m all for safety! Knowing what foods are poisonous to animals, and very alert on potentials escapes! How to open a door with my whole body to stop kitties from escaping, or puppies from booking it. I also like to jot notes down just in case there’s something your pet is allergic to, or can cause tummy issues, to keep note of. Or really anything that’s note worthy!
About: Growing up, I often took care of my grandmother’s six dogs, including one of my own. I also helped my aunt raise two puppies she rescued from the side of the road. I became skilled at making sure they were well-fed, clean, and properly cared for. I am a student-athlete so I am busy most of the time during the week at 5am-6:30pm, but I'm available all day during the weekends. When I take care of pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine to help the pets feel safe and happy. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get bathroom breaks, and have time to play. I also keep the area clean and follow any special instructions, like giving medicine. I like to send updates and photos so the owner knows their pet is doing well.
“Ande was a great choice! She is very professional and responsive and provides great feedback and photos. Ande is also super nice and helps put nervous pet parents at ease. This was our kitties first time alone and I was completely comfortable that he was taken care of. Thanks Ande!”

“Katie was great. She sent detailed updates and photos everyday. She worked really hard to make sure our cat felt taken care of and by the end our shy cat had fully warmed up to her. Thank you Katie!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and currently have a cat of my own, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my daily routine. I’m very patient, responsible, and attentive to pets’ needs and personalities. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable and confident leaving their pets with someone they can trust. I have experience with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, basic grooming, administering simple medications, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m also comfortable caring for both energetic pets and older animals that may need a calmer environment and extra patience. Since I live in a pet-friendly apartment, I’m able to provide a safe and welcoming space for pets to feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently a college student with a part-time job, so pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. My schedule is flexible throughout the week, especially during mornings, afternoons, and weekends depending on my classes and work shifts. I make sure pets receive consistent attention, care, walks, feeding, and playtime while they’re with me. I’m organized and dependable, and I always prioritize making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and always make sure pets are in a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel secure and stress-free. I’m careful with doors, feeding instructions, walks, and supervision, and I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care.

“Megan is fantastic - she is our go to sitter! We’ve had to be out of town more often since moving away from family but we always feel at peace knowing Megan will take care of our pets like they’re her own! We fully trust and recommend her, and know our fur babies are in the best care! She is also very communicative and sends pics without us even asking. Thanks Megan!”
“Absolutely amazing. I had so much peace of mind thanks to Sydney, and my cats seemed quite happy with her too! Plenty of pat pats given, playing some, and clean food/water/box. Will definitely be contacting her again for future pet sitting.”
“Jenisa was wonderful! She was available on short notice, which we truly appreciated. She arrived on time, communicated well, and even sent us pictures during her visit. We were very pleased with how she cared for our three cats and would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs for most of my life and caring for animals is something I truly love. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering medications, supporting mobility challenges, and providing a calm, patient environment. I know how important consistency and gentle care are, especially for pets who need a little extra attention. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved every step of the way. I currently have cats of my own but they are used to other pets in the home, including dogs. Additionally, I offer complimentary meet and greets prior to petting your pet, to see if it’s a good fit. I work from home and my schedule is flexible, so I’m able to interact with and love on your fur baby all day. I can also pick up and drop off your little one if need be. I do have a few cats of my own, so if you have a kitty needing care, it may be best for me to care for them in their own environment. My cats are used to other pets though, including dogs, so they are more than welcome in my home. I also have a fenced-in yard with a lot of room for your dog to run around and live in a neighborhood conducive to walks.
“Emeline was so great with my maple, she worked on getting her comfortable the first day and played with my cat until she got tried. She was very great at updating me on my cat and sent me many pictures of her :) I’m so glad my cat got along with her and will be using her services for future dates.”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Martindale 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Martindale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Martindale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
