“Gabby took great care of our kitties for a couple of days while we were out of town. She communicated with us well and see the care she puts into each session with them. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.”
“I’ve never used a cat sitter before and am so glad to have come across Victoria on Rover. Being out of town for several weeks, I felt completely at ease with my old lady cat in Victoria’s care. She’s timely, dependable, and quick to respond. I will definitely keep using her as my go-to sitter in the future!”
“Sabrina communicated in a detailed, kind and professional manner. My kitties were happy, clean and well cared for. She kindly helped with a few other things that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Thank you!”

“Priscilla was attentive and communicative! She helped provide care for my kitties and my rabbit pretty last minute and I felt very comfortable after our meet and greet. She did not hesitate to reach out with any questions so she could provide the best care and sent plenty of photo updates. After her first few drop ins she clearly had a good system down! My pets were happy and healthy when I got home after a few days so I know they had a great time with her.”
“This was our first time using Rover and our first time ever having a house sitter, so we were understandably a bit nervous going into it. Lexx immediately put us at ease. She stayed with our cat Jax for four nights and was fantastic throughout the entire stay. Her communication was excellent — she kept us updated regularly and shared thoughtful updates that made it easy to relax while we were away. It was clear Jax was well cared for and comfortable with her. When we returned home, everything was clean, tidy, and exactly as we left it, which we really appreciated. Lexx was respectful of our home and very dependable. Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely book Lexx again. We’re really glad we found her for our first Rover experience.”

About: I was lucky enough to have some amazing dogs in my life. As a teen a yellow lab named Bandit helped me through some of the toughest times of my life just by being my dog. Later in life a giant schnauzer named Effie came into my life. She was a big girl weighing in at 115 lbs. She was not the most energetic but navigating through day to day tasks with such a big dog is not for the unprepared. Those dogs gave me their greatest years and the combined experience they both granted me with their time here has prepared me to deal with any type of dog; regardless of shape or size and even personality type. I currently find myself with a ton of free time and I don't have any pets at this point in my life but have always missed the company of a cat or dog since I have grown up around animals for most of my life. I plan to care for a pet the same way I would perform any job or duty with the upmost of attention and care. Your pet would be cared for as if they were a human child. During walks I would watch our surroundings carefully to keep us both out of danger, of course water will be provided as well. I am fully prepared to tend to pets here at my home. I have hard wood floors so clean up would be no problem for me and there is a patch of grass in the back part of my apartment building.
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and have always taken care of a dog and/or cat. Friends, family and neighbors have often relied on me to walk their dog or pet sit. I'm also a teacher and am responsible and reliable. I'm currently a graduate student, so I have time on Wednesdays and weekends for pet sitting/walking. I currently have 2 goats and 2 cats at home, so I am comfortable with pet routines. I don't have space in my home to care for your pet, but I can do drop in visits and dog walks in your home/neighborhood.
“Laurena was great with my cat Nola! I really appreciate the photos and videos I received from her during the entire stay. She is very easy to work with and is available to answer any questions. I will re-hire her and recommend her.”
“Alan was fantastic. My dog took to him immediately and I knew he would be in good hands while I was away. He was communicative and prompt with updates and my house was in excellent condition when I returned. I could tell my dog had a great time and I will definitely be booking with him in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m Jessica. Animals have always been a big part of my life from a young age. I have a 2-year-old Golden Retriever named Winnie, and I also regularly foster animals through the Oakland SPCA and the Milo Foundation. Being a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I care for every animal the way I would want my dog cared for. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Can’t wait to meet your best friend <3 I have plenty of time to stop by for a visit, or take your pup on a walk! I live and work in the area. I have a fenced in yard, very friendly puppy who loves to meet other dogs/cats. I prioritize your pets normal routine and want to make sure above all else they are comfortable.

“Chen has been an incredible caretaker for our cats when we are away. He sends frequent updates so we know our cats are doing well. Our cats have grown fond of him and trust him. It’s nice to know we have a pet sitter who they are comfortable with and look forward to seeing. I can tell they genuinely miss Chen’s drop ins now that we are back. Every morning around the time scheduled for our drop ins they start meowing at me. They have gotten used to him coming to visit. Chen will be your cat’s best friend when you are away!”

Olivia has watched our cats for many years when we are out of town, and, as always, she did a spectacular job this time around. She was very attentive to the cats and sent lots of great photos too! We lost our cat Lucy last year, so Olivia had a new little one to watch this time, Baby Judy. Judy loved hanging with Olivia during her visits and Ricky Bobby also remembered Olivia and was very comfortable with her. The cats seemed relaxed and well taken care of when we got home. We appreciate Olivia immensely!
Rachael was a tremendous and extremely knowledgeable petsittter for our two cats who were recently rescued. She spent time playing and engaging with them, in addition to the litany of clean up and feeding responsibilities. She sent photos of them as well as detailed observations during every visit which were extremely helpful. She also went the extra mile to remove toxic plants from our home, which we were not aware. We would highly recommend Rachael for petsitting. She loves her job and puts the animals first. A definite A+
I have rebooked Michael multiple times to take care of my cats, because I always know they are in great hands. Our first time booking, Michael suggested leaving out a bowl of water next to our electric fountain in case of power outage, which I had never considered, but showed me that he was truly thinking about the best care for my cats. Thanks for always taking the best care of my cats, Michael!
I’ve never used a cat sitter before and am so glad to have come across Victoria on Rover. Being out of town for several weeks, I felt completely at ease with my old lady cat in Victoria’s care. She’s timely, dependable, and quick to respond. I will definitely keep using her as my go-to sitter in the future!
This was a long hall being separated from Edger for a month. Te' did a great job. So many litter box refreshes, many cans to open and serve and dental treats to dispense. All done expertly. I go home earlier than expected but no reason to adjust any payout. My place was as good as I found it and Edger actually met me at the door late in the night of my return. Thanks to Te' my month out of California ended peacefully and calmly.
Rong is fantastic! She’s taken care of my kitty a couple of times now and always does a great job. She’s been super accommodating to last minute schedule changes, and is always kind and thorough. My cat loves her and I feel so much better leaving knowing Rong is watching her!
Sophia was a very respectful, responsible, and caring provider toward the needs of all of my indoor and outdoor cats. She provided us with excellent updates and pictures after every visit. I felt very confident and at ease while on vacation with Sophia as our sitter. Her services were 5 star plus.

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.

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.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
