About: I've been pet sitting for many years and am an avid pet lover having had many myself! I enjoy bringing both pets and owners ease of mind, whether you travel, are an on call employee, or just need extra help in your day to day. I currently work part time and am looking to give more of my free time to helping you with your pet, my schedule is flexible which makes me perfect for extended stays, weekly walks, etc... As a former healthcare worker, I understand just how much pets provide comfort, love, and companionship. And I'm committed to assure your pet is safe so both you and your best furry friend have peace of mind. My work experience makes me an expert in upholding privacy and safety standards.
“Jennifer was great when she met with us to go over their feeding schedule and portions, our pets felt well during the first meeting. she also kept us well informed during our trip, we felt comfortable that our three pets would be well taken care of. Thank you.”
“Alison was wonderful and patient with my doggies. She offered to come meet us before the weekend to get to know the dogs and their needs. I was able to show her how to administer meds and meals. On the days of booking, Alison followed all instructions and my pups were relaxed and happy when I retuned at the end of each day. It can be very hard to find help as a single person in a new town with senior dogs! Alison was wondeful and I would definitely book her again. I highly recommend.”
About: Although my pup is no longer alive, he brought me so much joy and I know your animals do too! I have many years of dog care and had cats while growing up. I can uphold any pet training you require and also have some great skills to add. I am currently very flexible! I am returning to school to obtain my Masters in therapy so my school schedule is flexible. Please reach out! I’m happy to provide for the needs of each individual pet, as all are different! I can provide cuddles, play enrichment sessions, training skills practice, dog walks, outdoor time, or crating if needed.
“Kayla was fantastic! We had a last minute need for help with our pup and she came to the rescue by coming to our house for 3 drop-in visits / walks each day. Our pup fell in love with her and we will 100% be calling her next time we need help. Thank you, Kayla!”
About: I am a licensed Vet Tech who recently moved to the area. I have 10 years of experience working with a variety of animals in a clinical setting. Also, I have always had pets growing up as well. I can help you with anything from exercising your animal, boarding or even administering medications. I am new to the area and I currently have open availability. I have a dog of my own, but I am able to manage caring for your pet as well as my own. I have a fenced yard and a dog who loves to play. I can stay at your house or even have your pet stay over if needed. I currently live with my parents who are able to care for my dog if your pet needs more alone time. I can accommodate to whatever your pet needs.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always watched dogs for all my friends and family! I love having dogs around as it’s never a dull moment in the house! I currently work remote so I am always home and and ready to care for your fur babies! I currently work remote so I am home all day. My work schedule is 8am-5:30pm and I exercise by walking the riverbed by my house so it’s perfect for me and the pups! I have a fenced yard and a twelve year old beagle mix who loves to meet new friends! When I dog sit for friends or family, I set up a spot for them in my room and my pup in a separate room so they can have their space. I’m not a huge fan of leaving pups in the garage (unless requested) so they will always have a spot with me I their own bed!

About: Hi! My name is Kelsy. I am a traveling CT Technologist, I move frequently for work (typically every 6 months), which has made it difficult for me to have pets of my own in this season of life. Pet sitting and dog walking gives me the opportunity to spend time caring for other people's companions until I'm able to settle down with pets of my own. For the past seven years, I have helped care for my sister's cat, including feeding, companionship, and making sure all of her daily needs are met. I also have experience with dog walking, dog sitting, cat sitting, brushing and grooming, feeding, and providing lots of attention and affection. While I don't have formal training experience, I am comfortable following detailed care instructions and maintaining your pet's normal routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I began dog walking professionally about six months ago and since then I have cared for dogs of various sizes and energy levels. I'm very active and enjoy walking, hiking, and spending time at the beach or the mountains, so I'm happy to keep up with energetic dogs who love getting outside. I also have experience with senior pups who need shorter walks and extra cuddles. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I will always follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated with messages, photos, and check-ins so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I am starting a new contract in Santa Maria on June 15th. My schedule is completely open for the next two weeks, but once my contract begins, I will generally be available after 5:00 PM on weekdays, with additional availability depending on my schedule. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat your furry family members with the same care, patience, and attention that I would give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Currently my schedule is open. Starting June 15th I will be available after 5pm on weekdays. Most weekends I will be available at any time of the day. As a traveling medical professional, I am currently unable to offer pet care in my own rental. All of my services are provided in my clients' homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I believe consistency is important for pets, so I take the time to learn each pet's schedule, preferences, and any special instructions. Whether it's feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, favorite toys, or bedtime routines, I strive to provide care that feels as close to normal as possible while you're away.
About: I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats for over 30 years and have also fostered kittens for the animal shelter that I later adopted. I am a substitute teacher during the regular school year and am otherwise a DoorDash driver. I would work my schedule around what you need. My cats stay indoors and my 2 dogs love hanging out on our front enclosed porch or lounging inside. They all get along quite well.
“Lori was amazing with my puppy, Milo for an hour check-in. She accepted my last minute request. Lori provided me with updates throughout her check-in and provided good, loving care. She was also very responsive and timely in her responses. Would recommend Lori to anyone.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cat for the last 7-8 years. They have been so good to us and we’ve enjoyed them more than I imagined. I have a business that I’ve owned for seven years and I’m able to make my own schedule. Also, my homeschooled kids are home and willing to help if I ever need it. I have done 20+ years of babysitting and childcare in my home and other peoples homes. Plus, I’ve had clients that I have worked for and have trusted me with their keys to their home for seven years.
“Lars was fantastic! All of our animals seemed well cared for! He was reliable, relaxed, and a great communicator. He could handle walking both of our dogs (both of whom are "energetic" on walks :))! We will definitely use Lars again, and I would highly recommend him to others.”
About: I know how to take care of any breed.. I have experience with care for senior dogs and puppies as well! I just want to give your fur baby love and attention while you are busy at work or on vacation (: I am working full time so I have afternoon availability on weekdays starting at 4pm .On weekends I’m available during any time after 9am (: I love the dog park and also love runs on the beach. I like to go on hikes as well so your puppers can get a good walk for the day!

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.

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 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.
