“Dawn was wonderful! I received daily pictures, and my cat was loving life with his new best friend (did he even miss me while I was gone?!). I will not hesitate to book Dawn again in the future. Thank you!”

“I was rushing out of the house and did not leave everything in a good state for Laura. She still took wonderful care of my boys as she always does. Looking forward to booking her again. Thank you, Laura!”

“We can't recommend Kaitlyn enough! She took amazing care of our 9-year-old Ragdoll, who has special needs, and went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she ensure he was well-fed, comfortable, and given his medication on time, but she also showered him with love and attention, keeping him happy while we were away. Our cat had a litter box accident, and without hesitation, Kaitlyn gave him a bath and made sure he was clean, comfortable, and stress-free again—something not every cat sitter would be willing to do! On top of that, she took it upon herself to look after our home, making sure everything was in order. We returned to a clean, well-cared-for space and, most importantly, a content and relaxed cat! She kept us updated with messages and photos, giving us peace of mind throughout our trip. If you're looking for a truly dedicated, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter, Kaitlyn is the one to call!”

“Patty did check in visits with our cat twice a day for two weeks. Our cat is quite anxious and I was worried about leaving her but I quickly felt at ease knowing that Patty was coming twice a day and communicating regularly with lots of detail about how the cat was doing and everything else related to the house. Patty went above and beyond, offering to bring in packages and checking the house for accidents. I would highly recommend hiring her to care for your pets, she is loving and patient and reliable. We will definitely be hiring her again”


About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could walk. It started with rescuing baby birds that fell out of nests, to now driving deep into the desert to rescue abandoned dogs. It is an honour to be able to give animals the dignity they deserve. I have had almost 2 decades of experience with pets, as an owner and a foster mom for my local animal shelter. I have pet-sat dozens of animals before such as dogs, cats, rabbits and Guinea pigs, lizards, snakes, etc. I am compassionate, a hard worker, and easy to communicate with. Let’s connect! I currently work from home so I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate to your needs. I enjoy making animals apart of my daily routine! I have a cat that is strictly indoors with safety netting on the window. Depending on the animal, size, etc I will draw certain boundaries in order to keep the animal safe (ie closing doors quickly to ensure cats don’t escape)
About: I love animals and making sure they are happy, Always send photos and messages to keep the owner updated. I allow them to have lots of space in my house. We have big and nice backyard and dogs can play any enjoys. I'm house wife and my schedule is fixable. I'm House wife and my schedule is fixable for weekdays or weekends. I can provide the Pickup and drop off service for little extra charge. I have a big fenced and safe nice backyard, Dogs always lots of space can walk / run and play. Water and Snakes and toys available.
About: My name is Alec, and I do a lot of things, mostly here in South OC :) Many people know me as a local performer and teacher. I have also enjoyed house sitting and pet sitting, for many years. I understand the importance of and have experience with administering medication (such as insulin), giving your pets their normal amount of food and the water of your choice, having litter boxes as fresh as possible when you return home, and giving your fur family as much normalcy as possible while you are away. I also understand the need to feel safe and secure about your home and/or your furry family members, while away. I have lived with and cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, bunnies, and bats (my favorite comic character might have influenced that last bit). As a full time single father of a toddler, I usually have a very flexible schedule, so I'm able to be away from home as needed, and check in on pets if necessary, during the day. My son goes everywhere with me, so I only take on clients with dogs who are safe around small children, and breeds that are not notorious for doing a lot of damage when aggressive, even though I know that some of those breeds, when raised right, can be total sweethearts. I love animals, love people, and love work that involves filling someone's need. Day to day life for me over the years has included a variety of things, all involving people...I was a Swing band leader, Ballroom and Tap dance teacher, actor, massage, concert producer, and I have worked as a naturalist for grammar school field trips at the Donna O'Neill Land Conservancy, and taught children chess through a local after-school program. I have had a live scan/background check, and can provide many client/character references :) As a full-time father of a toddler, my schedule is pretty open and flexible, aside from pet sitting bookings, and occasional teaching of ballroom/social dance in private lessons around OC. I mainly do overnights for clients, providing more attention to your fur family than drop-in visits can offer, and more security for your home. Day visits can be available as needed, for an additional fee. I am generally gone in the daytime, tending to the needs of my toddler and our own pets at home. For overnights, I arrive in the evening, and leave in the morning or early afternoon. I am usually present for 12 hours or more, providing lots of company and attention to your fur family.
About: I’ve taken care of many different type of dogs from big dogs to small dogs. My mom used to foster dogs and I would help her with feeding them and walking them and taking them to go potty. I also worked at a dog daycare for 2 years so I have a lot of experience with taking care of dogs and feeding them as well as giving medication! I have a part time job so I am able to take care of your little fur baby whenever I am not at my other job. I take my 3 year old dachshund outside in my backyard multiple times a day to go potty and to play outside for a bit. I love to run around with her and play with her. I love to take her on walks and hikes as she LOVES to run and be free.

About: A lifelong animal lover and your new reliable pet sitter. Im available for drop in care/walks, overnights and dog park trips. I am comfortable providing medications and working within strict dietary guidelines. I have a 13 year old terrier mutt named Jack, he's the sweetest boy and will stay with my adult son when I'm tending to the overnight care of your pet(s). My hobbies include reading, yoga, spending time with my family and learning how to sew! I currently work part time as a yoga instructor. Most of my classes are in the evening. My schedule is very flexible to meet the needs of your pets care! When I arrive into your home, I immediately greet the pet(s), having them sniff me and gauge if they want any pets. I'll spend time with the pets if they are ready/willing. From there I'll tend to water, litter box and come back to direct cuddles and play. If your pet is very cuddly, I'll spend as much time as they need during an overnight stay cuddling and giving pets.
“Yeji is a compassionate care giver, knowledgeable when it comes to working with cats and highly professional. She is responsive, a great communicator, and our cat loved her. She completed 2 drop in visits per day while we were away and provided updates about each visit. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with their pet and look forward to working with her again. Thank you Yeji!”

“Nancy is amazing! Even though my cat is wary of people and hid when Nancy stopped by, she still went above and beyond during every visit. She made sure my cat had everything she needed, always leaving plenty of fresh food and water and checking the litter box. Nancy was easy to communicate with and even took on the extra task of watering my plants when a heat wave rolled in. I’m so happy I found her and will absolutely be using her again in the future!”

“Eve is wonderful with my cats, I always feel so much better knowing shes paying attention and caring for my cats. Eves respect towards my home and animals, open communication, availability, and flexibility keeps me coming back every time we're out of town.”

“We really appreciated Katelyn’s stay in our home to care for our two new kittens for the weekend. She sent us updates and the kittens were safe and sound when we returned. She even fed our fish. We would love to book her help again!”

About: I've had a lifetime of experience and love hanging with animals. They tend to gravitate to me as I do to them. Their well-being is my top priority. I care that they are happy and stress-free when you are away. I have had a lifetime of loving and caring for animals. I am available to take care of your animals day or nighttime. I am always available to walk or play with them. I make sure I have the yard secured and full instructions on their care. I also want a detailed list of meals, snacks, favorite toys etc.
About: My whole life I’ve always had a passion for animals and taking care of them would be a dream to me. Pets light up my world and inspire me with their unique personalities. I am available to work around schedules and am free to work whenever as of now. Preferably any time after 10 am will work best for me. I am also available on weekends. I always show animals love and affection and make sure their needs are met. I am good at knowing what they need and picking up on their signs.
“She did an amazing job taking care of our two cats while we were away on vacation. She was very thorough with the task and feeding time. We always received daily updates and pictures of them which was relieving and helpful. Would definitely book again with her for future purposes!”

“Shannon was absolutely amazing with our dog, Sky! From the beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and confident that Sky was in great hands. She communicated with us every day, sent plenty of photos and updates, and really gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Shannon genuinely cared about Sky and treated him like she was her own. Being able to enjoy our time away without worrying about how Sky was doing meant so much to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Shannon to watch Sky again. Highly recommend her!”

We’re repeat clients of Jacqueline and couldn’t be more grateful for her! 🤍 She is incredibly dependable, trustworthy, and always goes above and beyond to make sure our fur baby is cared for. We have complete peace of mind knowing our cat is in such good hands. We highly recommend her! 🐾

This was our second time using Hailey after her stellar service with a house sit! Hailey stopped by for a drop for my girls and found my dog had decided to tear apart a bag of Halloween decorations. Hailey informed me of the situation and went above and beyond to take care of the mess while making sure my girls were calm, loved, and less anxious before she left. When we got home, our girls were happy and content thanks to Hailey!

Isabel took care of our two cats for two weeks while we were away. She did a wonderful job. Both of our cats loved her, and they were happy and relaxed when we came home. She was reliable and caring, and we never had to worry while we were gone. We highly recommend Isabel and will book her again!
Radhika is the best in her job and it’s not a surprise she has this many good reviews! She’s great at reading animals and adjusting her methods accordingly. She’s been the best at handling my feisty cat and inspires me a lot. I couldn’t have been more thankful for everything she has done!

We needed a cat sitter for two a day visits while we were on vacation. We met with Dawn prior to leaving to get to know one another and to go over our expectations. Our cat, Molly, is typically shy with strangers. Dawn took her time with Molly and she let Dawn pet her, give her chin scratches and brush her on each visit. Everything was well taken care of, the house was clean and we received regular texts and pictures to let us know how everything was.

Yeji did daily check-ins for my 15 years old cat while I was out of the country for two weeks. Everything went really well, she communicated well and was able to accommodate additional requests with grace. I highly recommend her and she will be my number one choice in the future when available.

This was our second time booking with Hannah and as always, she was absolutely amazing!! One of our cats is special needs, so he takes some extra care and understanding and Hannah was wonderful with him as always. She’s always professional, on time, follows all directions perfectly, communicates wonderfully with detailed updates and pictures, and is overall just amazing with our two cats who I imagine aren’t the easiest. We adore Hannah and are grateful for her care!

Ailen was a wonderful pet sitter for our cat and 2 dogs! She was able to watch our pets for a week on short notice and was extremely thorough with her care for them. She is an exceptional communicator, and kept us up-to-date on all things happening while we were away.

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. 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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
