“Have had Cheryl sit for our senior cat twice - for a weekend and also a longer trip - and both times felt totally at ease that she was being well taken care of. Cheryl provided detailed and timely updates and photos for each visit, and went above and beyond to assist when there was a minor plumbing issue while we were away. Could not recommend Cheryl more and glad to have found such a professional and reliable sitter!”
“Stefanny was lovely to work with, she responded quickly to a last-minute booking request, and sent lots of photos of our senior cat while we were away. She gave us peace of mind that our cat was cared for, getting her medication, and eating well while we were gone.”
About: I provide patient, attentive care and treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, calm, and focused on keeping pets comfortable and safe. I have hands-on experience caring for pets’ daily needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection Pet care fits easily into my routine. I have flexible availability and can plan my day around feedings, walks, and check-ins. I enjoy making time for walks, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety and comfort by following the pet’s routine exactly as instructed. I make sure their environment is clean, secure, and stress-free, whether in my home or the client’s home.

About: Hi, I’m Lana (short for Svetlana). I’ve always had a deep love for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats. While I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve spent years caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities, including senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I understand every pet is different and adjust my care to fit their needs—whether that means a slower, gentler pace for senior dogs, active playtime for puppies, or simply keeping them comfortable and relaxed. I’ve also had the unique experience of walking dogs down the aisle at weddings and caring for them throughout the event, so couples can fully enjoy their special day. I stay calm, reliable, and confident in both everyday care and high-energy, special moments. It’s important to me that every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and give them the attention they deserve. I work full-time during the week with two days from home, but on the weekends, my schedule is completely open and I can ensure potty breaks every 1-2 hours. Just let me know what your dog’s needs are :) We sure can work it out. I will always make sure to never leave your dog unattended. Your dog deserves attention and safety is very important to all of us. I will care for your dog as if it’s my own.
About: Taking care of both dogs and cats is something that I have loved doing since I was a young teen. I have also volunteered abroad working at animal shelters in other countries. I feel really passionate about giving them the proper love and care they deserve! I am currently working 8-4pm on weekdays but anytime after that I am free to care for your pets! I will also be free on the weekends! I wouldn’t be able to take care of your pets in my residence, but I would absolutely love to watch over them at yours while you are away!
About: I have owned two large dogs before a German Shepard, and a lab Shepard mix . I also understand that some dogs are energetic and need more exercise so I am patient with those doggos too! I am also attentive to their health and body language and I will communicate with you whether I notice anything concerning. I work full time from 8-5pm Mon-Friday. I am available early mornings before 7am or after 5pm on the weekdays and any time on the weekends. I cannot board dogs or cats however I am more than happy to watch them in their home! I will also be attentive to specific care instructions for your pets.
“Basilia just cared for my cat Luna while I was away on vacation and she did a fantastic job. I loved the photos and the notecard updates. She even brought a laser pointer over to play when I informed her the batteries in mine had run out the day before I was set to leave. I would recommend her great care and look forward to booking her again in the future.”
“Eleanor was amazing in watching my babies when I was away. Thank you for all your help in troubleshooting all my things for them and making sure they were okay. Will definitely book again.”
“Always great when we book with Leo - very attentive and flexible. Good communication while we were away, and we came home to a very happy cat! Will book again, for sure.”

“We had a family emergency and had to travel to the east coast after adopting our new puppy. Chelsi checked in on her, played with her and made sure she felt comfortable before leaving.

About: I’ve owned and cared for pets over the course of my entire life. Dogs are my love and bring such joy into my world. I have always had a natural born connection that cannot really be explained. It’s a magnetism and I’m drawn to them as much as they are to me :). I have a deep understanding and knowledge of a variety of health issues that dogs commonly have including bone, joint, heart, GI issues and dietary restrictions. I’ve experienced quite a bit over the course of my life personally caring for dogs with these issues including blindness & deafness, injuries. I’m mature enough and a mom myself to confidently say that your family would be treated as my own would. I have also cared for and owned a variety of birds, fish, reptiles, bunnies, guinea pigs, chinchilla and then some! ;). Your animals would be loved as my own! Happy to do overnight care on somewhat short notice as well. Live in the Mission canyon area and have a gated yard with space for sun bathing and potty breaks/lizard chasing ;). Reliable car, DL, Insurance etc. - open to running errands, helping around the house (can discuss rate). My schedule is flexible and I’m available for boarding as well overnight with a little notice ahead of time. No problem with house sitting I have a gated yard and no pets. Nice neighborhood with friendly neighbors with dogs that enjoy each other. Local trails close by and the Riviera Theater close and other nice doggy friendly locations!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Mission Canyon
We came home to a very happy and well-cared-for cat! Sophia was wonderful with Marie Curie and kept us updated every day with little messages and the cutest pictures. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. We’d absolutely recommend Sophia and would love to have her look after MC again! ☺️
Basilia just cared for my cat Luna while I was away on vacation and she did a fantastic job. I loved the photos and the notecard updates. She even brought a laser pointer over to play when I informed her the batteries in mine had run out the day before I was set to leave. I would recommend her great care and look forward to booking her again in the future.
Courtney is great. She’s professional, prompt and kind. She communicated well and sent lots of pictures so we could see our kitty enjoying his life while we were away. Our kitty gets walks on a leash in the neighborhood and she is very adept getting him in and out of his harness and catio. I will definitely ask her to watch Smokey again.
Stefanny was lovely to work with, she responded quickly to a last-minute booking request, and sent lots of photos of our senior cat while we were away. She gave us peace of mind that our cat was cared for, getting her medication, and eating well while we were gone.
Kathleen was SO communicative, always reliable, and took such great care of our kitties while we were out of the country for 10 days! One of our cats doesn’t always do great with new people (he gets anxious and thus sometimes a bit aggressive) but he got along GREAT with Kathleen and she did so well with both of our cats! We will definitely be working with her again!

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.

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.
