“My Maltipoo has trust issues walking with anyone but me but was comfortable going for a walk with Jesse C. This makes me so happy and with less stress leaving my pup for work etc.”
“Margaret was absolutely amazing, she is nothing but a true animal lover. I felt uneasy opening my door to a stranger for a month but she did everything she could to assure me of her quality of character. We received regular updates from her along with photos and she even went out of her way to buy my cat new toys, treats and new wet food. My cat enjoyed her company because she clearly spent time and played with her. Margaret is trustworthy, great with animals and highly recommend, I can't say enough good things about her.”
About: All through my life, I've had pets: dogs, cats, fish, you name it. I currently have two dogs, a Rhodesian ridgeback and a terrier mix. I've spent years pet-sitting and walking for friends, family, and neighbors. I grew up helping out around my grandmother's ranch. I've got well-rounded experience with all species, big and small, and equal love for them all. Being back home for the summer, I have plenty of time to give your pet the care they deserve. From morning and evening walks or lunchtime trips to the park, my days are open for your fur babies. Care is tailored to your pet and lifestyle. Dogs stay on leash in non-fenced areas, but in fenced backyards or dog parks, they're free to roam. Only pups with experience at dog parks will be taken to them. Water and food will be cleaned and refilled each day, and dogs who need to be crated will be. Weekly or even daily brushing will be determined by coat length and type. Most importantly, whether they're furry, pawed, or clawed. They all get loads of love and attention as if they were my own.
“Such a great experience. I knew reading the bio I wanted to book Belle. She was prompt, efficient, and communication was seamless from start to finish. Everything felt easy and handled with care. I really appreciated how smooth the whole process was and my dogs were happy and well cared for. Would absolutely book again.”
“I was so nervous to leave my 17 year old cat alone for the first time in his life but Brittany took the BEST care of him. She took so many pics and videos of him and I could tell how much he loved her. He would meow more greeting her than us even haha I couldn’t recommend Brittany enough she is amazing, reliable, and so trustworthy. She was so affectionate towards my cat and he needs his rubs and butt pats like he needs food. She even saved my mom’s car from being towed from a spot in our neighborhood which was above and beyond! I will definitely be booking with her anytime we need a sitter again in the future!”
About: I love all pets and animals and have been trusted by neighbors and family friends since I was 16 to feed, check in on, play with, and even stay overnight with their pets to keep them comfortable and safe. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I make time for it in my routine. I’m flexible with drop-ins, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight stays. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day.I’m available as necessary on weekends, evenings/nights and very early mornings. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, routines, and house rules to make sure pets feel secure and stress-free. I provide a calm, loving environment, close supervision, and lots of patience so every pet feels safe, cared for, and at home.
“Sofia stepped in at the last minute to help us watch our cat while we were away. She made sure our cat received plenty of love and attention and shared some adorable pictures. We truly appreciate her help and will definitely recommend her and book her again in the future!”
About: Hi! I'm Marty! I have been an animal lover my whole life. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets when they go on vacation or they are busy.

I live in the area, and I am available when your fur babies need some extra attention, exercise, love, and care while you are away. I'm currently available full time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm open and available for boarding as well. I love being outdoors, and going on walks in nature. I also live in a beautiful complex that is pet friendly with lots of outdoor grassy nature areas, and a big park to walk to and play in just three blocks away from me. I can crate your pet too if needed.

About: I'm a sensitive, caring responsible individual who loves to play with dogs and with whom dogs love to play. I've worked at the Glendale, CA Humane Society Shelter walking dogs and really enjoyed the experience. I've owned dogs for a good part of my life. However, I recently had to put Taffy, my last dog, to sleep. She was 16 and not doing well. It was heart wrenching and I thought perhaps that rather getting another, I could give the love I have for dogs to others, without having the ultimate burden of ownership. I live in Agoura Hills, CA. There lots of room for dogs to walk and play, lots of trees and grass for dogs to sniff and explore. There are also lots of other dogs in the community and opportunities for dogs to socialize, if the owners and the dogs want. I have a fenced yard and I work from home. I have a flexible schedule. Consequently, I can adapt my schedule to your dog's schedule. I have a fenced yard and I have no other dogs. Even though the house is on two levels, it's easy for dogs to navigate.
“Courtney was absolutely amazing. I'm a crazy dog mom & hadn't ever left my girl. She's a therapy dog & my medical service dog & she goes everywhere with me but we were going to an airshow & I was worried about her ears so I didn't want to take her. We were camping in Malibu & it was difficult to find someone because everyone was a good distance from here but Courtney was agreeable to come to our RV park. She hadn't been here before & was so great at following directions. My dog loved her, I could see from the photos how happy she was. Courtney walked her & played with her. I couldn't recommend her more highly She kept me updated, communicated well, was on time, and most importantly made my pup so happy. She sent me updates for both visits and a lot of really cute pictures. I'm a sitter here on Rover as well and am very picky but if you're looking for a great dog walker/sitter, look no further...Courtney is absolutely FANTASTIC! I can highly recommend her and I will definitely book with her again in the future when we're in the area.”
About: I love dogs and have had dogs all of my live, and had taken care of them when they were puppies, so potty training, playing and keeping and eye on them, and also when they were sick and old, so giving extra attention to their wellbeing. Pets are family members that need to be cared for, treated with respect, as well as provide them with some fun play time. I’m currently working part time so I have time to spend with your pet during week days and can provide visits twice a day in case that is needed. I would keep them on their leash whenever we are outside, always keep the door closed to avoid them running away and follow the house rules.
About: I'm excited to spend time with your dog! From walking, playing, and cuddling, to feeding, watering, and bathing, I'm your answer to caring for your furry friend while you're at work, working late, or spending the weekend out-of-town! I have had two of my own dogs, Sedona, a red dachshund-chihuahua mix, and Buddy, a cream Chihuahua-terrier mix, for the past 12 years, and enjoy them so much! Two cats, Marco and Lucy, also share my home, along with two humans, my partner of 13 years and our teenage son. Our dogs are playful, silly, and love snuggles, and have taught me so much about being a dog mom! Our cat Marco is in his senior years and prefers lounging on our son's bed. Lucy is a two-year-old with a lot of energy, who can often be found playing in her cat tree. I'm passionate about providing the best care to dogs and cats, and yours are no exception - I'll treat your best friends like family. I'm available for dog walks and "drop-ins" in the evenings as well as all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I'm happy to pet-sit as well, and from Friday through Sunday I'll be with your dog or cat full-time in your home. While I do have to work Monday-Thursday, I'm happy to stay with your furry pal in the evenings. I want you to be happy, comfortable, and at ease while you're away, just as I would want to be! I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends.
About: I genuinely love walking dogs and believe that a well-exercised dog is a happier, healthier dog. Whether your pup enjoys a leisurely neighborhood stroll or a long, energetic hike, I’m happy to tailor each walk to their age, personality, and energy level. I’m in excellent physical shape and enjoy being active, so I’m comfortable with everything from short potty breaks to longer adventures that help dogs stay mentally and physically stimulated. My goal is to make every walk safe, fun, and something your dog looks forward to. I have prior experience caring for celebrity clients’ dogs, but I treat every dog like a VIP. I am also an artist who loves creating pet portraits of many of my former and current customers! After retiring from the corporate world, I’m excited to devote my time to something I’ve always loved—caring for pets. I began dog walking and pet sitting for a celebrity couple in 2002 as a side job, and now I’m making pet care my full-time focus. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available most days for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. I look forward to giving every pet the attention, exercise, and loving care they deserve. I have experience caring for pets both in clients’ homes and in my own. For about a year, I worked for a couple in the entertainment industry, providing daily care for their pets while they traveled for work. I was trusted not only with their pets, but also with the security and care of their home, including overnight, weekend, and extended stays. I understand the importance of being dependable, respectful of your home, and keeping you updated while you’re away. At home, I recently said goodbye to my beloved companion, Charlie, after nearly 13 wonderful years together. While our home doesn’t currently have pets of its own, that means I can devote my full attention and care to your pet. I prefer to care for one family’s pet(s) at a time so they receive the individualized attention, love, and companionship they deserve.

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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
