“Stacia was great with the initial meeting of my pups! She is gentle with them and is very loving. I’m confident that she will be a great sitter for us in the future. I’m looking forward to her caring for my babies.”
About: Hi my name is Benny. I have one dog at home and have experience volunteering at a shelter and dog sitting for all kinds of dogs small or large. I am currently in college to become an aviation mechanic and my classes are online which does help with having a flexible schedule and I do prefer mornings and afternoons I will ensure to keep your pet safe, loved, and cared for as If he or she were my own little pup or kitty cat
“Rachelle did a great job with our senior cat (14+). She was accommodating, flexible and communicative throughout the process and worked with us at every stage over 4 days. Highly recommended.”
“Thank you for taking care of Zoey! She is a tough cat but you were able to deal and get through. Lucas showed on time and followed instructions thoroughly. Was a easy process and he is very trusting. Was a pleasure meeting you Lucas!”
About: I’m a stay at home mom of an older child who now has the time to help my neighbors care for their fur babies! I have had dogs all my life and grew up on a dairy farm. I am truly an animal lover and feel like life isn’t complete without a furry companion to love. Currently have one 10 year old Jack Russell Pomeranian named Charlie bear who has medical needs and two cats! Big kitty and applesauce. Charlie needs medicine for seizures so I feel comfortable with administering medications. I would love to be able to provide you with the comfort in knowing your animals are well cared for and looked after while you’re at work, vacations or other activities! I’m a stay at home mom of an older child that has a lot more flexibility than before. I can be available most times during the week. My house is geared towards my animals. The cats have a catio and tunnel all around the backyard so they can be outside. My dog goes on walks twice a day in the park but mainly prefers to be in my lap.
“Sara is absolutely wonderful with our new 4 month old puppy! She is great at responding back to messages, sends update pictures, and is just super sweet with our new family member. We will be continuing to use our services as she checks in on our puppy mon-fri 😊!!”
“Laura is a treasure! She took care of our 2 cats in a loving and caring way, spent quality time with them each day, and made sure they got their medication and treats on a steady schedule. She also took care of our chickens feeding and egg collecting, as well as giving our hens some time to roam the yard each day. She communicated with us every day, sent photos regularly, and was very responsive to our messages. She has a calm demeanor, and was very attentive to our pets needs. I highly recommend Laura for your petsitting needs.”
“Cats were so well taken care of! Shannon always goes above and beyond to make sure she spends time with each of them as well as taking care of the feeding and litter box chores.”
“Another awesome pet sitting by Amanda. The amount of communication she gives me about my fur babies is awesome. So many pictures and updates. We hate leaving him alone but always feel happy knowing he is in good hands.”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own and have always loved animals and work this them all the time. I also work for a friend who does fostering for cats. I also have the wag! App and use it as well, you can find me on there and book a service through there too. I’m currently a full time student at MSJC but have a few days off so I am willing to pick up some work on the days I have free and work with furry friends. I have a fenced off yard with 2 friendly dogs, I have a pool in the backyard that is regularly cleaned (not very deep and easy to get out of for most dogs) I have chickens but they are in a cage so no contact can be made. I do have neighbors with dogs but the fence is secure and no one can touch each other. In addition I have 5 cats who all love dogs (might be scared but not mean).
“Amanda is incredible. She is detailed, kind, and goes above and beyond. This was our second booking with her and she did amazing with our fur babies. We are so glad we found her!”
“Denice gave our two kitties excellent care during her recent drop-in visits, and it was wonderful to learn that that Mimi and Rascal warmed up to Denice so quickly. Her updates were timely and informative and we so enjoyed the photos she shared with us during the week. Denice has become our pet sitter of choice!”
About: I’ve worked with an animal rescue for over 7 years as well as owning multiple pets throughout life as well as 2 of my own! I have a pet sitting business, Pawsitive Paths and have multiple references of multiple pets I have pet sat. I have my own pet sitting business, Pawsitive Paths. This is what I love to do and am so passionate about. My world revolves around my fur babies. Working at Hope Ranch Animal Sanctuary and rescuing so many dogs i understand how importnant it is to have a suitable house/yard for your pets.
“Jordan was absolutely incredible! She was incredibly easy to communicate with and she went above and beyond with my girl, Stella. Jordan checked in with updates and pictures and I knew that Stella was in great hands!!! Thank you for going the extra mile!!!”
“Absolutely the very best sitters ever!!! Boujee loves them and I always feel safe knowing Caleb and Sara are taking good care of him and my home! I no longer feel anxious when I leave Boujee home alone. Thank you both! 🙌🏼👏🏼🙏🏻”
About: I've lived with dogs since I was old enough to walk; I have learned how to take care of of them, and read behavior and body language to maintain pet safety. Pets boarding with me will be treated with all the care and attention I give my own, with supervised exercise and playtime. I have my own dog, so for the purpose of safety and comfort, a meet and greet will be necessary before any booking longer than a single night. I currently have an open schedule and can adjust to accommodate pet needs, be it evening breaks, intermittent feeding, or early wake up calls, all on most days of the week. Pets in my care will have a full, secure yard to run and play outside, and a clean, air conditioned, non-smoking home to relax and sleep in, and will be afforded the same attention and love I show my own pets.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Murrieta
Although this was a short booking (only 2 visits) I was very impressed with Amy. She has a very warm and caring personality and our Buster took to her immediately! She left thorough reports for each visit. I could tell that she enjoyed taking care of and spending time with Buster. We will definitely be booking Amy for future trips!
I seriously cannot recommend Allison enough! She watched my two cats while we were away, and as a cat mom with very skittish cats, I was honestly nervous leaving them. My girl cat also needed medicine during the stay, and Allison handled everything so perfectly and carefully. What meant the most to me was that BOTH of my cats actually came up to her both days she watched them! which literally never happens with new people. It was such a huge relief and says everything about how calm, patient, and kind she is with animals. She was also incredibly flexible, communicative, easy to work with, and genuinely caring the entire time. I felt so reassured knowing my cats were comfortable with her and being so well taken care of. I would absolutely trust Allison to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, sweet, and amazing with pets🤍
This is the second time using Laura and she was just as wonderful as the first. She made drop in visits this booking and we were just as pleased as when she stayed overnight. We love that our very shy and cautious guy has already taken to trusting Laura, that is enough for us to know she is amazing. Laura sent us pictures on every and always responded very quickly to our texts. We love Laura, but more importantly our kitties love Laura.
Lauren did a fantastic job of taking care of my two cats for 8 days. They both are shy and do not come out for strangers. She came twice a day to check on them made sure they had fresh food and water. Cleaned the litter box and updated me on any odd behavior. I will definitely hire her again on my next time away from home.

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.

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 .

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 Meet & Greet .
