About: I am a local pet sitter here in Murphys, CA. I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life. I have several years of pet sitting experience. It all started with a coworker asking me to watch her lovely Golden Retriever, and by word of mouth my clientele grew! It brings me much joy and gratification caring for and spoiling people's pets while they are away. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pet(s) soon! :) I work full-time locally in Murphys, CA . My schedule is Mon through Thurs 7:30 AM to 5:15 PM with a lunch hour from 1 to 2 PM. Typically during the work week I can either so a small walk or some playtime and feed pets their breakfast before I leave for work. If the job is close enough I can stop by on my lunch and do potty breaks or playtime. After work I enjoy walking dogs and playing with them to get their energy out. :) I typically stay in the client's home with their pets, but that all depends on their preference. I can also do walks and drop in visits.

About: I’ve raised puppies, kittens, baby birds, chickens and various other animals, I’ve also had experience working on a dog farm and groomed various types of breeds. I’m available for part-time work and am flexible when it comes to scheduling. I am open to working Monday-Sun as long as it’s planned at least a week in advance. I have a fenced large yard with two separate deck areas, I am open to bringing the pets over and housing them or going to a clients house and pet sitting, walking or even bathing if needed in a comfortable and familiar place for the pet.
“Kim did such a great job caring for Mia and Apollo while my husband and I were out for the day! She was a great communicator & the dogs really enjoyed her visits. Would definitely recommend!”

“We recently moved to the area and were in need of someone to care for our senior cat. We found Linda and we are so glad we did! She is kind and professional and she takes her job seriously. She took great care of our kitty and even sent us pictures of a kitty that hangs around our property. We are happy knowing we have Linda for any cat care needs in the future.”

About: Growing up with animals my entire life, I've branched out to caring for other's animals. From dogs, cats, snakes, and aquariums of all sizes, I am familiar with caring for all kinds of animals including those with special needs. I have worked with blind animals, those with complex medication routines, and those that needed physical therapy. I have also assisted in training animals with behavioral issues and prevented damage to homes while per owners are away. I also volunteer for the local FOAC in my free time. I'm a full time animal lover and would love the opportunity to take care of your furry family! I work full time but have the ability to work from home. I am especially available on weekends, evenings, and holidays. Simply book me and I'll make your schedule work for mine! I have stayed in homes for months at a time caring for animals while owners are on vacation. I am sure to be respectful of your privacy, sticking to specified areas, and focusing on my assigned job of caring for your furry family members. I prefer to leave everything clean and untouched after pet sitting, like I was never there. I am also very quiet with hobbies like crocheting and reading, being respectful of any surrounding neighbors.
About: I have had many years of housesitting experience with came with caring for pets. I have also worked at a pet store and handled bathing dogs. I am free weekdays and weekends and am open to staying at a home for multiple days. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I will be attending class 9:40 a.m. to 2:25 p.m. I have a friendly dog, a kitten and two outdoor cats as well as a fenced yard with tons of dog toys, treats and a small kennel. I make sure any hazardous things such as cleaning products and other harmful substances are out of the pet’s way and give frequent potty breaks. I take into account their feeding schedule and any medicine they may need.
About: I am a dog owner, looking to care for other dogs at my home! I have a very playful 2year old Labrador who would love to have company. Two is better than one. My wife and I would take care and keep an eye on your fur babies when you’re out for travel, short trips, vacaciones holidays or others occasions. I have a fenced yard for play and potty time. I also have a full house so you dog would never be alone because I work from home and so does my wife. We let our dogs roam free in the house.
About: Animals have always been part of my life, and when a dog is around, they truly come first. I’m someone people trust deeply with their animals — creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment is always my top priority. I genuinely love spending time with animals, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I offer overnight dog stays in the Greater St. Louis area for as many days as you need; providing consistent, attentive, one-on-one care. Whether it’s a rainy wander near your neighborhood or a long weekend hike at a local park, your dog will be well-exercised, engaged, and happily included in my day-to-day life. I love being outdoors in all kinds of weather and come fully prepared with rain and snow gear — because dogs don’t stop having fun just because it’s cold outside! I’ve grown up with animals, raised two dogs of my own, and began animal sitting professionally in 2013. In most places that I have lived I have taken care of animals from Bend, Oregon, Seattle, Washington to Nantucket Island and now here in St. Louis. Although I have not stayed in someone's home here in StL, I did foster three dogs from the Humans Society of the past year. I have also provided extended stays caring for farm animals: two horses, three dogs, two cats, five chickens, and two donkeys. Those multi-week farm stays taught me the importance of multitasking, routine, and especially individualized, one-on-one care. Whether we’re out exploring or snuggling on the couch, I’m attentive to each animal’s needs and routines. I make sure the medicines are taken and the appropriate level of exercise is given depending on age and ability. I strive to provide happy, healthy, and fun care, while always prioritizing safety and comfort. Clear, accessible communication is important to me. While I’m caring for your dog, you can expect photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well and feeling at home. Your dog will be cared for with patience, consistency, and genuine affection — just like one of my own. Dog care is woven into my daily routine, not added on as an afterthought. I work part-time downtown St Louis from 8am-2pm, so I can plan my days around an animal’s needs. Whether it’s a calm early morning walk, an afternoon adventure, or quiet evening time at home, dogs are fully included in my schedule and receive consistent attention throughout the day. My routine allows me to be present, responsive, and focused on keeping your dog happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on providing a safe, calm, and consistent environment that follows the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I take time to follow instructions and ask questions so that I undoubtedly understand each animal’s feeding schedule, walk and exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and comfort preferences. Dogs in my care receive regular walks, outdoor time, play, companionship, and plenty of rest. I have a fenced in yard for off leash play. I prioritize one-on-one attention and never rush care. Whether we’re staying close to home or enjoying time outside, safety and comfort always come first. During overnight or extended stays, I maintain cleanliness, structure, and a relaxed atmosphere so pets feel secure. If I am at your home, it is treated as my own, and I am a particularly clean person. I also value clear communication and provide updates, photos, and notes, so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have cared for animals my entire life, because I grew surrounded by them. My goal is to work with any type of animal. Currently I’m studying to become a veterinarian, having this opportunity helps me get more experience and become better at it. Besides my personal life, I’ve taken courses in college to understand better animal behavior and learn more about it! I’ll always do my best to keep your loved ones safe and happy! I’m currently studying in College, but I have plenty of time after 2pm during Monday to Thursday. During Friday and Weekends I’m free and always available for any services! I live in a house that has plenty of space and is fenced. I also have a really friendly dog that loves to play around animals. If your fur baby is more comfortable inside the house, we have plenty of space inside where they can run and play!
“Sabrina was amazing!! This is our first time having a pet sitter come into our home, and she made us feel so comfortable. She was on top of it with all the questions and concerns with each animals schedule, (Food, water, medication, potty breaks, etc). Any changes in the daily plans she promptly let us know. She sent daily pictures which is always comforting to know your babies are safe and happy. We can’t wait for her to come back and watch our critters again!! :)”

“Adara is a wonderful sitter! Her communication was stellar. Our cats are messy eaters, so I especially appreciate how she cleaned up after them every visit. I would definitely rebook and recommend her to others.”

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.

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred.

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.
