“Kelsy is absolutely wonderful - she has such a positive energy and our cats took to her right away. She is communicative, dependable, patient, responsive, personable, and most importantly she loves animals and they love her back! I will definitely schedule her services again.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I have always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends. I’m dependable, patient, and truly love spending time with animals—whether it’s for an outdoor stroll, engaging playtime, or relaxing together on the couch. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Thursday, but I’m often available for evening walks or drop-ins during the week. From Thursday night through Sunday night, I’m available for overnight stays or extended visits at your home. I’m not able to host pets in my own home since I have a cat who prefers to have the space to herself, but I’m more than happy to care for your pets in their familiar environment where they feel most comfortable.
About: 🕸️ HALLOWEEN SPECIAL 🕸️ ✨ 30% OFF PET CARE SERVICES ✨ Greetings, and welcome! I’m Eucalyptus your Fur Baby Godmother. Animals have been the greatest joy of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for pets of all kinds, and for the past 8 years I’ve had the privilege of providing professional pet care for families who trust me with their beloved companions.My experience includes dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, rabbits, ferrets, farm animals, aquatic pets, and many other exotic species. I’ve also cared for senior pets, puppies and kittens, pets with special needs, and animals that require extra patience, medication, or individualized attention.What makes me different is the connection I build with each animal. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and way of communicating. I take the time to earn their trust, making sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved while you’re away. Whether your companion is energetic, shy, anxious, or simply enjoys quiet company, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest.Over the years I’ve helped reinforce good manners, redirect unwanted behaviors through positive interactions, and create calm, enriching experiences that help pets feel comfortable in their own environment.Pet care isn’t just something I do it’s my full-time passion. When your furry, feathered, or scaly family member is with me, they’re treated like one of my own. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is receiving dependable, compassionate, one-on-one care.I offer pet sitting, house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and extended stays, making me a great fit for vacations, business trips, weekend getaways, or whenever your pet simply deserves a loving companion.I can’t wait to meet you and your wonderful animal family. Until then, may your pets be happy, your travels be worry-free, and a little Fur Baby Godmother magic follow you wherever you go. My schedule is pretty open because caring for pets is what I genuinely enjoy doing. I tend to have a little more flexibility than the average person, so I’m usually able to work around different routines whether that means an early-morning drop-in, a spontaneous trip, a last-minute change of plans, or a cozy little sleepover. I like having the time to actually be there with the pets I care for. Not just stopping by, checking a box, and rushing off. I enjoy the little things getting to know their personalities, following their routines, giving them attention, and letting them feel like they have a little vacation of their own while their humans are away. So if your fur baby needs someone with a flexible schedule, a calm presence, and plenty of time for cuddles, playtime, or simply keeping them company… you may have found your person. I’ve always felt like animals have their own little language, and I genuinely enjoy learning their way of communicating. When a pet comes into my care, I like to meet them where they are. Some babies need structure and routine, some need a little extra patience, and others simply want someone to sit beside them while they decide you’re their new best friend. I follow the routines and care instructions their humans have created for them whether that means crate time, potty training, medication routines, playtime, socializing, quiet time, or plenty of cuddles. Their comfort and safety always come first. I’m also someone who naturally spends a lot of time outdoors, so I love having little adventures with my animal companions walks, fresh air, exploring, sunbathing, or just sitting outside together and watching the world go by. And my definition of a “pet” has never been limited to cats and dogs. I’ve cared for animals of all different personalities, sizes, ages, and species, including exotic pets. I find their little quirks fascinating and enjoy giving each animal the kind of care that makes sense for them. If your baby happens to enjoy a bubble bath, treats, an afternoon adventure, or an unreasonable amount of affection… well, they may have just found their favorite babysitter. I’ve jokingly been called the female version of Dr. Dolittle. I’ll take it. Really, I think animals simply know when someone genuinely enjoys being around them. And I’m very happy to be living in their world. Overnight stays are always welcome, too.
About: Hello! My name is Ella and I’m an animal lover and graduate student in Irvine. I would love the opportunity to watch your pets! I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, including my own cats since childhood. I currently have two cats that I adopted two years ago. I have extensive experience with cats, including senior kitties who need medication and extra support. While I specialize in cat care, I have also cared for many dogs as a pet sitter since middle school. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule and can check on your pet frequently. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. I’m reliable and detail oriented, and will make sure to follow care instructions precisely. I will keep your home safe and clean for your pets while you are away.
“Alyssa was wonderful with my elder kitty who needed medication in addition to attention. He quickly warmed up to her and greeted her when she visited. She also kept my plants alive during my week-long absence. She seems to be a genuine cat person.”
About: Animals have been huge part of my entire life. I genuinely love caring for all pets and understanding their unique personalities, needs, and individual quirks. I’m available weekdays and Saturdays during daytime hours, making pet care a natural part of my routine. I’m dependable, flexible, and committed to providing attentive care. I have experience caring for all dogs, cats, horses, bunnies, ducks, fish, turtles, hamsters, and reptiles, plus AKC Yorkshire Terrier breeding, training, and canine behavior.
About: I got my first puppy when I was 8 years old, and that's when my love for taking care of dogs truly began. Since then, I've been completely dedicated to their care and well-being. As a college student with a flexible online schedule, I have plenty of time to give your furry babies the attention and care they deserve. I’d be thrilled to look after them and ensure they’re happy and well-cared-for while you’re away. Whether I’m looking after your pets at home or mine, I make sure they’re well-fed, loved, and happy. I stick to their routine, provide plenty of playtime, and handle any special needs. I’m here to keep them comfortable and give you peace of mind, with updates and photos so you know they’re doing great.
“Kelli is the best! She was very responsive, sent updates, and took great care of our kitten and our apartment. It was so nice to know our kitten was in such good hands while we were away, and I wouldnt hesitate to book Kelli again or recommend her to anyone we know :)”
“Chase was a great help on short notice, just before we left for our vacation. He carefully followed the detailed instructions we left and sent photos after each visit. We really appreciated his help!”
“Randi was amazing. I met her on a shorter notice but she was very willing to help. I have a few cats who are a little more nervous around strangers, but when she entered my house, they all warmed up to her immediately. Not a common occurrence. She sent wonderful photos and updates throughout the trip. Would 100% hire again!”
“Kristen was very responsive and helpful when we were away for two weeks! She fed and played with our cat twice a day and helped out when we needed a fan brought downstairs because it was getting hot outside and we wanted to make sure kitty was comfortable.”
“Sarah checks in on and walks my puppy while I am at work. I was nervous about leaving my puppy alone all day, but Sarah has made the process very smooth. She takes incredible care of my sometimes challenging puppy, and I come home to a happy dog every day. Sarah is great about sending pics and updates, and I would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies.”
About: I have 20+ years of experience, taking care of dogs and cats. As a kid it was my sole responsibility to feed, walk, and clean up after them. I love all types of dogs and cats! I’m currently not working a full time job so I have plenty of time to walk, feed, play with, and take care of your pets! Safety and trust are my biggest priorities when handling other people’s fur babies. Making sure indoor cats stay inside and do not escape is my specialty as I have 2 indoor cats at home who want to explore the world. I also have dog walking experience and keep dogs away from other dogs if they are not able to handle being around other dogs.
“Our usual cat sitter wasn’t available so i had to find someone quick last minute. Gloria was excellent. We had a meet and greet first and Mini took to her immediately which is not usual for her. Gloria took care of our cat and our home while we were gone for 2 weeks. I highly recommend her to anyone looking gorgeous someone yo take care of their fur babies.”
About: I have lived with dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been responsible for caring for both my own family dogs and neighborhood fur babies for well over a decade. I currently have an 8 year old German shepherd and have owned a wide variety of dogs over the years. I am comfortable carding for dogs of all ages and breeds. I have successfully potty trained puppies and cared for senior pups. I love and am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and feel safe with any breed your fur baby may be!! I am currently working a part-time remote job, so I am able to make my own schedule to spend time with your fur baby. Let me know your pets daily schedule and I will be happy to help! I can walk your pets, cuddle with them, or crate them! I have experience walking both small and large dogs. I am comfortable in homes with dogs and cats.

Miranda was great with taking care of our 6 year old cat. She was very communicative and sent us lots of photos of our baby during her visits. She played with her and gave us updates on how much she was eating. Our girl is shy and she warmed up to Miranda very quickly. We felt at ease knowing she was in great care while we were away. Thank you! 😻
Deborah is a passionate pet sitter who loves animals and is dedicated to caring for pets. I had forgotten to call the gate about her coming in the first night and she was so kind and understanding about having to come back a second time the same night to care for our kitty. She is very responsible and sent lots of photos!
Isabel was a fantastic pet sitter. She sent informative daily updates along with adorable pics of our three cats. They seemed calm and happy when we returned home. Their food and litter areas were clean and organized. We so enjoyed meeting Isabel at our meet and greet and had no doubt that our beloved boys would be in capable hands while we were away.
Ziran took such wonderful care of my cat OJ while I was away. I got thoughtful updates and adorable photos every day, which reassured me a lot. When I came home, OJ was relaxed, well-fed, and his space was clean and tidy. It’s obvious that Ziran truly cares about animals and treats them like their own.

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.

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 .
