“Vivian is very responsive and took good care of out cats when we are away. She also took a lot of good pictures for our cats in the notes. I will strongly recommend Vivian to all nearby pet owners :)”
“Morgan was incredibly helpful on short notice, and helped take care of our pup while we were out of town. She let our dog out, fed him, and even helped bring in some packages that were on the porch h. We are so grateful for her attentive care for our furry love.”
“Nina and Leo is very kind and careful. They followed instructions and adapted to different situations - when we're away, there was an unexpected ant situation and unexpected outage. Leo and Nina went extra miles to help us keep our cats safe and comfortable, also kept our house everything in order. Very helpful and communicative!!”
About: I’ve always been surrounded by pets, growing up with both cats and dogs in my family. This constant companionship has given me a deep understanding and love for animals. I have specific experience with cats that have anxiety and aggressive behavior, learning to care for them with patience and understanding. While living in Batumi, Georgia, I volunteered to help stray dogs, feeding them and working to find them homes. This experience not only reinforced my passion for animal care but also equipped me with the skills to handle different pet behaviors and needs. I have an open schedule, so I’m available for daily walks and can stay with your pets at home for a couple of days if needed. I’m flexible and ready to fit pet care into my routine, ensuring your pets get the attention and care they need. I offer personalized care for pets both in clients' homes and during walks. At Home: - Feeding and Hydration: Ensure your pets have fresh food and water according to their schedule. - Companionship: Spend quality time playing and keeping them company to reduce anxiety. - Cleanliness: Maintain a clean environment by handling litter boxes, pet bedding, and any messes. - Medication: Administer medications as required. During Walks: - Exercise and Fun: Provide engaging walks tailored to your pet’s energy level and health needs. - Safety First: Always prioritize safety by using secure leashes and harnesses and being vigilant about surroundings. - Behavior Management: Handle any behavioral issues with patience and positive reinforcement techniques. I customize my services to meet the specific needs and routines of your pets, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for.
“Dawn has been taking care of my 12-week-old energetic and velociraptor GSP puppy, Zara, for the past two weeks. From the start, Dawn impressed me by taking the time to schedule a meet-up beforehand to get to know Zara and me. This thoughtful gesture made me feel confident in her abilities and reassured me that Zara was in great hands. Over the past two weeks, Dawn has been punctual and caring during her visits to my home. I highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Yi was an amazing emergency sitter for us after our planned sitter cancelled with short notice. She was attentive and treated our injured senior dog with care, and kept our anxious second dog calm and comfortable. We highly recommend Yi!”
“Stephanie was awesome. She was easy to reach and communicative. She took great care of our sweet boy. LOVED the pics she sent. Next time we are in the area I will use her for sure!”
“Kim has been taking really good care of my cats since the 1st time! She made sure to note down all the things to keep in mind for the specific pets, and always has multiple pictures and detailed summaries after each visit.”
About: I’ve had experience caring for and spending time with both small and large dogs, including dogs belonging to family and friends. I’ve also provided overnight care for a senior dog, which included following a medication schedule and making sure they received their food properly. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality, and I’m excited to provide reliable, loving care. I especially enjoy spending time with dogs and would love the opportunity to take them on walks, give them plenty of attention, and help them feel happy and comfortable while you’re away! I recently finished college and started my post-grad a full-time job, so I’m looking to provide pet care during my available hours. I’m especially interested in morning dog walks or drop-in visits from 5-7:30AM, as well as afternoon availability after 3pm. Aside from that, I can work weekends, though I am willing to adjust my schedule for you and your pets needs. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide dependable, loving care while you’re away! I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs, and I’m committed to following any instructions provided by their owner. I’ll always treat your home and belongings with respect and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and supervision. My goal is for you to feel confident and worry-free while your pet is in my care.
“Marcella is amazing! She was so good with my pup, gave her so much attention and tailored care, and even left toys for her to play with!! Communication was also perfect. Highly recommend and will be requesting her again !”

About: My husband and I live in a quiet area in the Hills of Redwood City and we love pets. We have a small 13 year old poodle mix who gets along very well with people and other dogs. We have a nice size home and yard where any dog will feel comfortable and enjoy spending time. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs all my life, but mostly enjoyed dogs of friends and family members until we finally decided to get our own dog. His name is Dusty and he is now 13 old. He is a sweetheart. We are experienced former cat owners as well and would love the opportunity to provide our services to cat owners as well. Meet my pets a small poodle mix. About my yard We have a nice size fenced yard, partially shady, lots of trees, very quiet setting. This is where our dog likes to spend much of his time during the day. My experience administering medication Yes, I am a registered nurse and have no problem with medications including injections My availability I am available 7 days a week unless we happen to go on vacation. I have a flexible part time schedule working from home and therefore have time to give lots of attention to your pup. We generally only accept one dog at a time so we can give them all the attention they need. We offer doggy day care in our home or drop in visits in your home. We have a fenced yard and my own very friendly small poodle mix who gets along with all dogs.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and truly nothing makes me happier than time spent playing and cuddling with one. I recently moved to Palo Alto from New York City and live on Stanford’s campus while my boyfriend gets his MBA. I have a a relatively flexible schedule. I love walking, so your pup will get plenty of long strolls rather than a quick trip around the block. There’s a huge lawn right next to my apartment for fetch and zoomies, and a dog park nearby (on campus) for dogs who like to socialize. After all that, I’m always up for couch cuddles. I’ll treat your dog like my own and send plenty of photos and updates, so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’d love to meet you both! I work from home on East Coast hours, Monday through Friday, so my workday wraps up early and I’m usually free from around 3pm onward on weekdays. That leaves my afternoons and evenings open for walks, playtime and cuddles. On weekends I’m generally available when I’m in town and can be flexible depending on plans for the weekend. I keep my calendar up to date, so if a date shows as open, I’m happy to help! I live in an apartment on Stanford’s campus with a huge lawn right next door and a dog park nearby, so there’s plenty of space for exercise and play. I keep dogs on a leash on walks, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine for feeding, walks and bedtime so they feel at home. Because I work from home, I’m around during the day. I’ll send photos and updates so you always know how your pup is doing, and I’m always glad to do a meet and greet first.
“Pouneh is awesome. She sent pictures of my cat when she got here and pics of other things I asked for. My cat likes her and I felt comfortable with her being in my home. She really loves animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone that likes attention to detail and most importantly wants great care for your animal.”
“Jenny is so sweet and easy to communicate, my cat loves her and thanks so much for taking care of mocha while we are traveling. My 1st time to use rover and so lucky to have Jenny with us! Everytime Jenny will take tons of pictures and share the details of the stay, even take care of things that I did not think of :)”
“Jonah took wonderful care of our cat, Nali, while we were gone for a month. They were caring, communicative, and responsible. We will definitely reach out to them the next time we are out of town!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Fair Oaks
Rachel is amazing! She is super responsible, organized, kind and flexible. Did everything we needed and then some. She even left a little gift for our daughter to find after we got back from vacation — an incredibly thoughtful touch and super appreciated. Would highly recommend!
Morgan is attentive and communicative. I really appreciate her updates and photos. My cats love cuddling up to her and I just know they are in great hands! Plus when there was an unexpected service team at the house, she was professional and handled the situation well. Would absolutely rebook and recommend!
Nina and Leo are awesome, caring cat sitters. My 3 cats are not used to being around other people. Nina and Leo went more than the extra yard to help them feel comfortable while I was away, especially with my most nervous cat with special feeding needs. They were able to calm her down, hold her, feed her, and were rewarded when she showered them with special purrs, slow eye blinks, and other kitty signs of affection. They also did a great job communicating with me during their visits and in between, as I sent them updates based on kitty cam activity. I am thrilled to have found them and look forward to having them back again. Thank you Nina and Leo
Linnea was great! She was on time for our Meet & Greet, asked great questions about my cat Rhys, and maintained great communication before and during the drop-in visits. I appreciate that she took time to get to know Rhys and his cute little personality. And also all the photos I received while I was away! I came back to a happy cat and my home just as clean as I left it. Thank you again Linnea!
Jenna did an amazing job taking care of our cat Maddy for two weeks while we were away. Everything went super smoothly, and she was great with our shy cat, who warmed up to her very quickly. Jenna was very communicative, always on time, and sent us plenty of messages and photos. We would definitely have her back to take care of Maddy again. Thanks for everything Jenna!
Julie Mae is the absolute BEST!! She always goes above and beyond for us and our sweet cat Kinsie. She sends lots of pictures, takes extra good care of her, gives her lots of cuddles and love while we’re gone, takes care of litter, food, and water, and even helps with trash/vacuum of the litter! We know Kinsie is always in such good hands with Julie Mae and she will always be our go to :)
Teagan took great care of our cat as always! His tail was so high up in the photos. You can tell he's always super happy to see Teagan. She was really observant and noticed his cat door had an issue and went out of her way to let us know. We really appreciate knowing he's well cared for while we're away!
Once again, Yifan was great with my cat Rhys! I appreciate her attention to detail and her thorough report cards! I enjoyed reading them each evening while away and seeing photos of Rhys. Thank you again Yifan for your thoughtful care of both Rhys and my place!

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
