About: I have grown up with animals of all kinds and have much experience helping friends and family with their fur babies. I currently live with a fur baby and would do anything for her. I would love to continue helping others in anyway I can. I am very trustworthy and will do anything to help leaving your fur baby easier for you. I am currently working a part time job so I have plenty of time to help and dedicate my time in anyway I can to play with the fur babies and make you and your pet comfortable. I am very trustworthy and will respect any and everything for the home of the pets. I am very respectful and believe I can make you and your pets very comfortable. I will send update pictures and videos as we play and wait for owners to come home.
“Lisa has been amazing! My husband and I got a puppy and so this is all very new to us and using rover. She was helpful with setting up the appointments and came to meet me and our puppy first which was very reassuring. She has been on time for every appointment and our puppy loves her. She has even been helping with teaching him tricks. We are very happy we met Lisa and have already booked a few more times.”
“It was such a pleasure trusting our cat to such a caring person! She was punctual and attentive, and constantly sent photo and video updates during her visits. Our cat was happy and calm, and we could go about our business with total peace of mind. Highly recommended from the bottom of my heart!”
About: Since 2009, I have had dogs... I absolutely love them (and really all animals)! I cared for my two dogs until their passing at approximately 9 years of age since they were puppies. While in graduate school, I volunteered at the Oakland Animal Shelter for a few months taking care of pigeons, such as feeding them and cleaning their cages. So, if you have some unusual animals- I am open to taking care of them too! I also had a 2 week experience cat sitting for my cousin's senior cat by feeding/giving her water and general watching her. So, I have good experience with taking care of cats too although I have never had a cat personally. At the moment, I have my senior dog, Mr. Beau, an 11 year American Staff Terrier I adopted in 2023 at the shelter. While I was at the Oakland Animal Shelter, staff made it known that senior animals are the most often overlooked animals for adoption and that made me feel sad :( So once I was able to, I made it a mission to adopt a senior pup, and I am so happy and fulfilled with my decision. As with any senior (including humans), they come with special needs, such as different medications, loss of hearing, limited walking, increase in illnesses, etc. My dog has had many complications, but with my great patience with senior pups, I feel confident in taking care of their specific needs! I know what it is like to trust strangers with taking care of your pet- its scary! Mr. Beau has specific senior needs and is picking, so I hope my experience can make you feel more comfortable with choosing me to take care of your pet when you're away! Experience: senior dogs, puppies, cats, birds, or other types of pets. I am open-minded! I was laid off from my job at the end of June, so I while I am applying to full time work, I have time to take care of pets in the meantime to fill my weekly schedule! While I cannot provide pet sitting services at my own home because my dog is not friendly with other dogs (sad face), I am skilled in meeting with my where my clients are at. I love to ask questions about the pet's history, current physical state, quirks, boundaries, etc. so I don't cause unnecessary stress or issues. Depending on the pet's attitudes and boundaries, I am open to playing, walking, or just simply checking in on them. I want to try to make their environment as healthy and safe as possible, so for instance, if its too hot in the house, I'd like to verify with the owner is opening a window or using the air conditioner is okay.
About: For four years, I’ve helped take care of my mom’s dog, so I’m very familiar with daily pet needs, from exercise and enrichment to maintaining routines. I’m gentle, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe and loved. I am currently a student, so I have plenty of flexibility for pet care throughout the week. I make sure each pet gets consistent attention, playtime, and care that fits smoothly into my daily routine. I create a calm, safe environment for every pet in my care. I follow all feeding instructions, keep routines consistent, and make sure pets always have fresh water and a comfortable space to relax. I stay attentive, use positive handling, and prioritize each pet’s comfort and well‑being. I treat every animal with the same patience and care I give my own family’s dog.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and am a proud cat and dog mom. I have two wonderful dogs and a special-needs cat, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I volunteer at a local cat shelter, where I’ve gained experience working with cats of all temperaments. Whether your pet has lots of energy and loves long walks and playtime or prefers quiet companionship and cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to every detail, from sticking to feeding schedules and medications to making sure your pet gets plenty of affection and enrichment. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member with someone else, so I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with lots of photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Im currently working part time, so I have tons of flexibility and availability to help care for your pets. Getting to hang with animals is the best part of my day. If you invite me into your home to care for your fur children, I’ll make sure to treat it with the utmost care. I’ll do my absolute best to maintain their routines, especially if they have some quirks.
“Annabella took great care of my cat - made sure she was fed and got her insulin, sent lots of pictures, and spent lots of time playing and letting. Annabella was also super communicative - would love to hire her again!”
About: I have a lifelong love for animals and many years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Growing up in a family with veterinary professionals in it, I absorbed a wealth of practical knowledge. I have a strong, understanding of pet health, safety, and hazard prevention. While I’m not a vet myself, I am fully comfortable administering medications, and managing specific care routines. I pride myself on being attentive, calm, playful, and reliable. Whether your pet is a high-energy pup with zoomies or a senior cat needing a gentle touch, they will be in safe, knowledgeable hands. I am currently working from home with an incredibly open and flexible schedule, your pet will have my undivided attention. My weeks are completely free, making me a perfect fit for pets who thrive on constant companionship, need frequent potty breaks, or require strict, time-sensitive medication schedules. Because I share a vehicle with my partner, my schedule is highly optimized for House Sitting. If you are looking for a sitter who doesn't just 'check in,' but actually hangs out, plays, and keeps your pet company all day long, I’m your guy!" For me, keeping pets safe and happy comes down to two things: sticking to their routines and treating them like my own. I have a lot of experience managing different personalities, medical needs, and schedules, so I know how important consistency is for a pet's peace of mind (and yours!). I have three strictly indoor cats of my own, so I’m used to managing a multi-pet household. I keep up with multiple litter boxes daily, make sure they always have fresh water and dry food, feed them wet food twice a day, and at minimum play with them an hour a day. I regularly look after an older dog who gets two hours of walks a day to keep him active. I make sure he’s fed at 8:00 PM on the dot, and because he loves his crate, I safely tuck him in there whenever I have to step out for a bit so he feels secure. I’m completely comfortable with specialized medical care. One of my regular clients has three cats, and one requires time-sensitive medications via an inhaler and oral syringe. I also have experience with modern pet tech, like automatic litter boxes, and I follow the owner's schedule for cleaning them out and refreshing the automatic water fountain.
“Hector is amazing, he took care of our dog, provided regular updates, and asked great question both ahead of time and during the visit to ensure everything was just as we hoped for. Appreciate him so much. He even noticed it was trash day and took our bins out for us after asking if that was okay. Super awesome!”
About: I love animals and have been pet-sitting for friends and family for as long as I can remember. I am excited to help you out and become friends with your dog(s). If you are walking or skating distance (under 5 miles), I can be available regularly AM, afternoon, & PM. Otherwise we will have to schedule 2 days in advance. Thank you! I only offer walks, and pet sitting at your home. This means I will come to your home and have a walking route planned out for your dog, refill fresh water, & food (if needed). If it's cat or cats, I will refill water and food as needed as well. I love animals and Im sure you'll see thay upon meeting the first time. I look forward to helping any way I can.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and animals of all kinds ever sense I was younger I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, bunnies and even ducks I’ve rescued plenty as well so I have plenty of experience in administrating medication, or even caring for aggressive and difficult animals I have slight experience in training as well. I currently work part time but animal care is my passion so I put my full energy into caring for your furry friends 7 days a week I have a pup of my own if you’d like someone to keep your pup company and if not that’s alright too we can always play one on one I have no problem letting your pup free roam or crating
About: What sets me apart is the combination of genuine love for animals and a thoughtful, detailed approach to their care. I have over 10 years of hands on experience with pets and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m playful and affectionate with pets, but I take the responsibility seriously. My priorities are their safety, keeping their routines consistent, and communicating with you so you know they are happy and well cared for. As a pet mom myself, I love my babies and will show the same kindness to yours. My experience includes caring for puppies and kittens through different stages of life. I have helped raise and train two puppies and would be happy to reinforce any training you are currently working on. I have also cared for a newborn kitten who needed frequent feeding and help with bathroom breaks, and I currently have three cats of my own. Over the years, I have helped family and friends with dog sitting and walking, including walking multiple dogs at once, and I have volunteered with cats available for adoption at Petco. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so I can keep them comfortable and happy while you are away. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to work around your pet’s routine and needs. Whether it’s overnight stays, drop ins, or walks, I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll follow their normal routine and spend quality time with them. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, and keep you updated so you know how things are going.
About: As the longtime caretaker of two senior pets — a 16.5-year-old dachshund and a 13-year-old cat — I’m very experienced with administering medications and providing attentive, patient care to animals with different medical and emotional needs. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and horses since childhood and have also volunteered with dog and cat shelters, as well as a wildlife rescue where I help care for a wide variety of animals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet with the same level of care, caution, and affection that I give my own. I’m extremely detail-oriented and proactive — the type of person who researches breeds extensively and learns everything I can to make sure I’m providing the best possible care. If you’re looking for someone responsible, observant, compassionate, and genuinely devoted to animals, I would love to care for your pet. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care when you need it most. I’m available throughout the week and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing in the yard, sticking to their normal routine, or simply keeping them company at home. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, medications, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets attentive and reliable care. I grew up with large dogs and have owned small dogs as an adult, so I understand that different breeds, sizes, and personalities all have unique needs. Safety is something I take very seriously, and I’m naturally very observant and cautious when caring for animals. Before sitting, I like to learn about your pet’s personality, routines, medical needs, behavioral quirks, comfort level with other people or animals, and of course their favorite treats and activities. I have a PhD in Biology and a very detail-oriented, scientifically minded approach, which means I tend to notice and think about things that others may overlook. My goal is always to make both pets and owners feel completely comfortable and confident in my care.
“Kimberly was very sweet and communicative with Juice! Took care of my cat for my 4 days out of town over Christmas at the last minute. Very grateful for the peace of mind.”
About: I provide calm, home-style boarding with maximum of 2 dogs at a time, so each dog gets plenty of attention and space. My home has a large, fully gated yard and an open layout, so dogs can move freely and feel comfortable-no overcrowding or stress. I am experianced with dogs up to 80 lbs and focus on creating a safe, relaxed environment, especially for dogs who don't do well in busy boarding settings. I keep routines consistent and send regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your dog is doing. this is a great fit for dogs who enjoy a calm, clean and secure home while you're away. I always had dogs in my family and I was taking care of them. Also, I took care of our family’s and friend’s dogs. I like to interact, to play with them, that they won’t feel alone. Fortunately, I am home always to give potty breaks, provide treats, and get in some cuddle and playtime. I always had dogs.. Three years ago, I had three dogs. Two of them passed away. Third one, Chihuahua, who passed away last year. I missed my dogs. It’s very soon and difficult for me to get another dog, but I will be happy to have guest pets in our house. I live in a house with backyard. I have a fully fenced backyard if your pup loves to be outside. I am home all day and night, and dogs are my life. I take them out for walks around a beautiful quiet neighborhood. Lots of birds, trees, squirrels, and all the fun stuff dogs enjoy.
About: I have experience with dogs, cats and the occasional fish. I can handle senior dogs, puppies, medication and injections. I am an expert snuggler and give great belly rubs. I work from home most of the time so I can spend time with the babies as much as needed. I'm active and walk daily so I can walk dogs as much as is needed. In my home, we have a gated yard and we have a double entry system similar to what you see in dog parks to protect dogs from bolting out the door. At your house, I will follow whatever best practices you prefer.
About: Give your pet a vacation while you are on vacation! We work from home doing social media so we will with your baby at all times.

“I believe this is the third or fourth time that Desiree has performed drop-in visits for our cat, Mr. Darcy. On each occasion, she has been very reliable and diligent in following the care instructions left for her. She has also been very willing to communicate as needed to ensure that our expectations will be met and that we will come home to a pet that was well cared for. We continue to highly recommend Desiree's services.”

Once again, Katherine saved the day in being able to care for our cat last minute when I had to be gone for work. She is so loving to our cat and communicative. She makes us feel like our cat has someone who truly cares lookin out for her and making her feel not so lonely. Plus the photos will make your day!
Haley once again took amazing care of our girls! My husband and I feel incredibly fortunate that we found such a kind and caring sitter in Haley. The girls love her and even our older cat (who can be pretty aloof/distant with others outside of our family) has enjoyed playing with her. Do not hesitate in hiring Haley--she's a gem!
I highly recommend my dog sitter! He is always on time, very responsible, and does a great job taking care of my dog. I really appreciate his daily updates and reports—they give me peace of mind while I’m away. I will definitely book him again the next time I go on vacation. Thank you for taking such good care of my fur baby! 🐾❤️
It was such a pleasure trusting our cat to such a caring person! She was punctual and attentive, and constantly sent photo and video updates during her visits. Our cat was happy and calm, and we could go about our business with total peace of mind. Highly recommended from the bottom of my heart!
I am so grateful for Mikayla’s consistently thoughtful care of my beloved shy/grumpy six year old cat. The hardest part of travel is being away from my cat and it is a relief knowing he’ll have a kind, watchful eye on him, and access to his favorite treats while I’m away :)
Myla was fantastic. She came by to feed and water our cat and dog. Our cat rarely comes out for anyone but us. But the cat LOVED Myla. She sent us a bunch of both our fur babies looking happy every time she visited. Great sitter! We will definitely call on her again.
Annabella was amazing caring for our little senior dog in our home while we were away. Our dog needs medication and prescription food from the freezer so not the most easy client but Annabella managed it all perfectly. She even took our cans to the curb and kept or kitchen orchid perfectly watered!
This was my first time using Rover, and Genesis was the perfect dog sitter for our dog, Sheldon. My dog is pretty picky, but Genesis was able to make friends with him very quickly. She was very kind and playful with him, and I felt totally comfortable trusting him into her care. She went above and beyond making sure he was taken care of. I loved how well she kept me updated, with pictures and updates on how Sheldon was doing. Each time she sent me pictures of him playing, it reassured me that I made the right decision, having Genesis looking after him. She looked after our house while we were gone and left it exactly how I left it. I feel like I got very lucky finding her. I will definitely rebook Genesis to look after our dog.
This was my first time using Rover and she made it the best experience possible she went above and beyond and communication she was on time she sent pictures. She had cute commentary and honestly, our animals loved her. I can't wait for her to watch them again as she cared so much for my animals and I can't thank her enough for giving us the peace of mind while we were out of town
Joanna was great with my kitties and they warmed up to her super quick which is unusual! She was very communicative the entire week which gave me such peace of mind while away. It felt great to know my babies were being so well taken care of. Would definitely rebook.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a North Hills stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
