About: I've been a dog lover forever and got my first family dog when I was 12. I have since become his primary owner. Since 15, I've assisted my older brother with dog sitting through Rover, and by 17, I started caring for dogs on my own for family and friends. Whether watching them at their home or bringing them to mine, I provide reliable, loving care for your furry companions. I work part time from home as a writing tutor at CSUN, where I am also a full time student on campus Tuesday to Thursday. In my home, your pets will enjoy a safe, secure environment with a fenced back yard featuring sturdy gates and tall walls, ensuring they can roam freely and safely. The front yard is also fully enclosed with an electric gate for added security. If your dog is accustomed to crate training, I can accommodate that as long as a crate is provided. In addition, I also have a pool on the property. I ensure the pool area is safely monitored to prevent any accidents, and only dogs that are comfortable around water are allowed freely around it. I prioritize comfort, safety, and fun for every pet in my care!
About: I’ve always loved animals and understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to follow their routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your furry friend is doing while you’re away. I work part-time about 30 hours a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability during the daytime. I’m able to fit pet care into my routine through morning, midday, and afternoon visits, and I’m especially available for walks, drop-ins, and cat care. I’m reliable about planning my schedule in advance so I can give each pet the attention and care they need. I always prioritize a pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep their pet’s environment clean, secure, and familiar. I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, provide fresh water, follow feeding and medication instructions, and give pets plenty of attention and supervision. I also respect each pet’s individual personality and boundaries, allowing them to feel comfortable and relaxed while I’m caring for them.
“Haley is excellent with our 4 cats, one of which needs several medications. She always sends a ton of pictures which we especially appreciate on our longer trips. Thanks Haley!”
“Rachel is great! My dogs can be pretty rambunctious, and she was super patient with them which I really appreciate. I also loved all the updates and photos she sent, as well as being super communicative with her visits.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience raising and caring for dogs of many different breeds, personalities, and temperaments. I’ve trained a puppy and understand the patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement that puppy care requires. I’ve also had the privilege of caring for a senior dog who lived to 14½, giving me experience with the extra patience, attention, and gentle care older dogs need. I truly treat every pet as an individual and take the time to understand their unique needs and personality. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, playful, stubborn, or needs a little extra TLC, I’m committed to making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I work a 9-5, but can definitely meet the flexibility it takes to care for your pet. I will be happy to keep your pets routine while in my care. I offer walks, trips to the park, and an unconditional amount of love and affection. Every animal in my care will be treated with the love and devotion I’d have for my own.
“Samantha is doing such a great job taking care of my cat Tyler while I’m out of town. I love the thought and attention she puts into her reviews and photos. You can tell she gets along with pets naturally. thanks Sam!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life since I was 1 so I will always have a special place in my heart for dogs, cats, and every other animal possible! I’ve cared for really young puppies but also senior puppies giving the comfort, as much as i can. I’ve never encountered a cat or dog (strays, my own, and others included) that I didn’t love and connect with and they always seem to love me! I’m currently working part-time so I will have more than enough time to take care of any fur babies! This is my main priority so If something comes uo I will do everything in my power to arrange something so I am available I live in an apartment but if any fur babies require to go on walks I live in a quiet neighborhood with nice greenery and community for fur babies to explore and get needed enrichment and bathroom time!
About: I have always been a big animal lover. My family had always had at least 2 dogs and cats in our household, so I grew up taking care of animals. I’m very reliable for sitting, potty breaks, medication,etc. I’ve pet sat for family and friends growing up. Currently not working, so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. Very flexible schedule. Looking to make take care of your beloved pets while you’re out of town! I always make sure that I respect my clients homes and animals as if they were my own. I follow all given care instructions and any other directions that a client may give.
About: Dedicated pet professional with 6 years of experience. Highly skilled in safe medication administration, advanced canine care, and handling dogs of all sizes and breeds. Expert knowledge of brachycephalic health needs, backed by a decade of personal ownership of a Pug. Reliable, attentive, and trusted through years of diverse pet-sitting and walking experience. Working remotely from a fenced house allows me to balance professional focus with a peaceful home environment, enjoying the private outdoor space throughout the workday. Living in a fenced house has made me deeply vigilant. I always double-check gates, secure latches immediately, and watch for sliding doors to ensure zero escape risks.
“Jenn did an amazing job with our 6 cats. She followed all the directions and my cats seemed to warm up to her. She took photos of them everyday and made us feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands. This was our first time having someone we didn't know watch them. We were nervous, but she gave us the confidence we can travel more in the future.”
About: We understand it can be nerve wrecking to leave your cat with someone new. We have two cats ourselves, which we consider our kids, so we know the importance of making your pet feel safe. Moreover, we have experience in administering medications to cats, so there is no need to worry about your pet not taking their medication on time. We would love to take in your furry critter so they can hang out with ours, play with toys, get treats, and lots of love. Plenty of cat beds, a huge cat tree, and scratchers to go around. We can even drop in and spend time with your cat in the comfort of their own home. I’ve been pet sitting since I was in high school, so it’s something I’m comfortable with. We both have grown up with cats in the home. I’m working full-time and my fiancé works part-time. In between the two of us, your cat will receive lots of love and attention. Reach out for questions about our schedule. Our indoor cats have free roam of the apartment. There is a fenced balcony they can go on if they wish, but only under supervision.
“Iuliia was amazing! She stayed in our place for 10 days taking care of our 03 cats - and one of them needed medication. Love her pictures, and she's very communicative. Will definitely book again!”
About: My first pet was a pigeon that I basically raised since they was a little featherless peep. I also thought them to fly! I was 12 years old. Since then, I have worked as a professional pet sitter in Long Beach, CA with a small company (shout out Happy Tails to You) and for Wag! (another app). I have experience working with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I try to adjust to each pet's personalities. I also adjust to each pet parent's preference and do not mind reading and following your step-by-step instruction for taking care of your pet. I actually prefer a manual as there no one who knows your pet more than you! When I am not dog sitting, I am working with adults and kids with developmental disabilities as a behavior consultant. AND when I am not working, I am hanging out my two cats and dog! I am available early mornings (before 9am), afternoons (after 2pm), evenings, and weekends. I work a part-time job that is flexible with my schedule (I work on-site and remotely). When I am in your home, whatever instructions you provide, I will follow. The more details the better, as no one knows your pets more than you. I also try to work with your pet's personality and needs. I don't mind looking after pets with special needs or need extra care.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Northridge
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!
Sanaz was great! She communicated regarding her arrival, departure, and everything in between. Sanaz was very gentle and respectful of my fur baby’s space but still engaged her during the drop in visits. I would recommend Sanaz to anyone looking for a pet sitter!!!
Emily is fantastic! She completed her drop ins at the time scheduled and sent lots of pictures. You could tell my cats were super happy with having her there. Even my super scaredy-cat warmed up to her while I was away my schedule is just all over the place and she was so accommodating to last-minute changes as well which I really appreciate.
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
Jackie did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our cat and dog while we were away, truly the best pet sitter we’ve had in years. She is incredibly kind, attentive, and full of positive energy. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were in such loving and capable hands. We came home to two very happy, well-cared-for animals! We couldn’t be more pleased and will absolutely be asking her to pet sit for us again. Highly recommend!
Erika is an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She is so patient and has a very calming presence. My cat usually ignores strangers and refuses to play with them, but took to her right away and loved playing with her! She is deeply caring and I felt so comfortable leaving my cat in her hands. Highly recommend!
I love booking with Eileen! She is extremely communicative and ensures that she follows my notes. Eileen also went above and beyond with my cat by trying different ways to get her to eat more. She also updated me daily about my cat’s mood and health as well. Additionally, Eileen sent lots of pictures and videos each visit, which I greatly appreciated. The videos (with lots of purring) showed me just how much my fur baby loves her. Thank you again Eileen!!

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.

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 .

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 .
