“Maddie did a great job for us. She was very good at communicating, followed our instructions perfectly, and showed up for the visits exactly when she said she would. We will definitely reach out to her again next time we're in need of a sitter”
“We were leaving abroad for about two months. I’m very grateful to have found Weichen on Rover to take care of my cat. Weichen was very easy to communicate with and always thoughtful and considerate throughout the entire time. I really appreciated the care and attention given to my cat, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I’m very grateful for the help and would absolutely trust Weichen to take care of my cat again in the future. I highly recommend Weichen to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter on Rover.”
About: I've been a trusted caregiver for my friends' dogs and cats, administering unique care for all the special needs they have. I have a passion for animals and I love getting to know what makes your pet so special! I have experience with oral and topical medical treatments, and I am an active person so I am always ready for walks, hikes, or runs. I am currently working part-time throughout the week, with short-notice availability on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, however with a 2 week notice I can clear up my availability for extended stays. I am happy to follow the typical routines your pet is used to, however I typically go on walks morning and evening, giving plenty of attention in between. I always make safety a priority when taking any dogs on a walk. As someone who has a large aggressive dog, I take extra care to avoid potential issues.
“Quynh did an amazing job taking care of our dogs during her drop-in visits. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and comfortable. Communication was great, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Quynh again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! 🐾”
“Stephanie is so approachable and her communication is top notch. Very professional! Patrick loved her and she gave him the minute he needed to warm up to the idea. Perfect experience all around. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, giving me over 15 years of hands-on experience with pets. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Veterinary and Biomedical Science, which has provided me with a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and well-being. As a lifelong animal lover and dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m experienced in daily pet care, feeding, walking, playtime, and recognizing changes in pets’ behavior or health. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I am having my break right now, and I got lots of time to play with dogs and take care of them. Definitely walk them and play outside for a long time. we have free yard in front of the apartment so dogs get enough space to stay where they wants, we also have dogs park nearby.
“Laura did an amazing job taking care of my Roxie! She was able to come through last minute when a different sitter fell through at the last moment before I had to leave town. She always informed me when arriving and if there were any issues. I would highly recommend her especially if you have a senior dog. She took extra good care of her!!”
“Venkata did a great job caring for my partly feral cat for a week while I was on vacation. She was very communicative and I can tell she really cares about animals. I hope to be able to book her again :)”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my house growing up, ranging from an 80lb Lab-Golden Retriever Mix that was not friendly with other dogs to a 15lb miniature poodle that loves other dogs as well as people. I myself love being around dogs and giving them attention! I am currently a university student, and am back at home for the summer until mid-August. I am usually free anytime with an advance notice of at least 3 days to make sure. I have experience dealing with dogs that have been breeded as well as ones with trauma from pet shelters. As long as I have instructions/precautions to take, I will do my best to take care of your dog(s)!

About: With 12+ years of cat care and 4+ years of dog experience, I work full-time from home to give your pets constant attention, care, and supervision. My home is a warm, pet-friendly environment shared with my own friendly dog and cat. Dogs will love running and playing in our very spacious backyard, while cats have their own dedicated cat room complete with climbing trees and an automatic cleaning litter box. Whether staying for the day or overnight, your pet will be treated just like family! Working from home allows me to provide full-time supervision and attentive care throughout the day. Dogs receive 3 to 4 walks daily alongside frequent backyard play sessions, while cats get engaging, one-on-one playtime on their own terms. I maintain a flexible daily flow to ensure your pet’s typical feeding and exercise routine is never disrupted. My home is fully set up for pet safety, comfort, and fun. Dogs have access to a large, securely fenced backyard for daily exercise, alongside my friendly Labrador who loves making new playmates. For feline guests, I offer a bright, sunny dedicated cat room where they can explore, climb, and relax in their own comfortable space.
“Ruiqi was so sweet! She watched our cat Gemma a couple times over the summer. She had fast replies and detailed rover cards with her visits along with pictures. Only reason for the 4 star was unfortunately because she was late occasionally; however, I would book again! I could tell our cat liked her because Ruiqi mentioned giving lots of belly rubs and Gemma is very picky about who she lets do that! ❤️”
About: I do have my own horses in which I care for everyday.

About: I've always had a special love for animals, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. As a dog owner myself, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for a furry family member. I have personal experience with feeding, walking, playtime, maintaining routines, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet's individual personality and needs. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing with toys, or just cuddling on the couch, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I understand that every pet is different, and I'm happy to follow any specific instructions to keep their routine consistent. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in caring hands! 🐶❤️ I'm currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week.

I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I make sure to follow all instructions provided by their owner.

I always make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I'm careful about keeping doors and gates secure, supervising pets, and making sure they're comfortable in their surroundings. I also respect each owner's home and belongings. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry friend with someone else, so I'm happy to provide regular updates and pictures to give you peace of mind. I'll treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I'd want for my own! 🐾❤️
About: A lifelong love for animals has lead me to professionally working in Veterinary medical centers and Shelters. I am an Adoptions Counselor for the San Diego Humane Society. I am Fear Free Certified, trained in proper husbandry and handling for a range of species, and educate new owners on such. I am available all day Mondays and Tuesdays, Thursday through Sunday mornings and evenings for drops ins and walks. With overnights I am flexible as long as communication and time permit. I adore taking pets on walks or out to play! I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes. I prefer to pet sit in an animal’s own environment for their same. It is already stressful to be away from their family and staying in their homes is helpful.

Angelina was so great with my two cats. One of my cats is difficult sometimes but Angelia was patient and the cat eventually warmed up to her. She also helped keep the house secure which gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Angelina for pet sitting without worry!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
