About: Hi! I'm Sherrie. I'm the kind of pet sitter who sends photo updates, and may leave your home looking better than when you left. Originally from Hawaii and now based in Ojai, yet travel to you elsewhere is no problem! I've spent years caring for homes, animals, and all the little details that help owners relax while they're away. Dogs and Cats seem to like me. Whether your pet is a couch potato, an adventure buddy, a professional squirrel observer, I'll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship. When you're away, I'll provide: • Pet care and companionship • Walks, playtime, and belly rubs (when approved by management) • Medication administration if needed • Home security checks • Regular photo updates My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your trip without worry. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family. Looking forward to meeting your furry, feathered family member. I own my own company so normally have nice flexibility. I can do last minute work at times as well. Happy to discuss. Just ask! I will follow your lead on how to care for them on your property. I always like a solid list of information. Email is fine too
“Second time using Ali and it doesn’t get better than her service! She’s constantly updating us with pictures and how they’re doing. We had an ant issue while she was there and she dealt with our pest control guy and took the kittens out for two hours while they sprayed. She just goes above and beyond. We are big fans!”

About: I have taken care of my own, family and friends pets as well as taken them on walks, bathed them, groomed them, and trained them. I am currently working part time Monday through Friday and so I’d have plenty of time to care for and love your pets. Animals are a big part of my life, I care for them deeply. I will be at your house so your pet will be comfortable and feel safe instead of being throw into a new environment where they won’t feel safe.

“Daniella did a fantastic job with our puppy during her drop in visits! She kept us in the loop with cute pictures and updates. Followed all instructions and went above and beyond to work on training and brushing. Would highly recommend!”
“We had an absolutely incredible experience with Sage, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. This was our first time using Rover, and we were honestly a bit nervous going in. Our cat, Lily, is very old and can be a little grouchy and skittish around new people, which added to our concern. From the very beginning, Sage put all of those worries at ease. To our amazement, Lily warmed up to her very quickly, something we’ve rarely seen. Her professionalism and communication were outstanding. She kept us consistently updated (daily photos and FaceTime on request), which made being away so much easier, and it was clear in every message how much she genuinely cared. Sage has an intuitive understanding of cats that’s hard to put into words… she truly is a cat whisperer. On top of that, Sage took wonderful care of our home while housesitting for over a week. We didn’t know what to expect having someone stay in our house for that long, but she was incredibly respectful and left everything in perfect condition. It felt like our home was in thoughtful, capable hands the entire time. Sage didn’t just meet our expectations, she blew them away. We would trust her again without hesitation.”

“We had such a great experience with Gretchen! We were visiting from out of town, and she really went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. She was super thorough, very communicative, and just an all-around kind, friendly person. We always felt in the loop and confident everything was being taken care of. It’s such a relief to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, especially when you’re not local. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Cheryl is wonderful!! She came for a visit to meet our kitty and hear care instructions ahead of our trip which was awesome. She has a really calm, loving energy which our cat seemed to enjoy because when we came back he was a happy boy and had clearly been well taken care of. Thank you so much Cheryl we will absolutely be in touch again!”
“We had a family emergency and had to travel to the east coast after adopting our new puppy. Chelsi checked in on her, played with her and made sure she felt comfortable before leaving. Chelsi was super responsive, sent photos and always made sure to check in. We appreciated her care so much and will def book her again if given the opportunity. Thank you!!”
About: I grew up on 5 acres and we had a mini zoo complete with a horse, goats, chickens and ducks, cats, dogs, small birds, ferrets, guinea pigs, snakes, and even mice! I have always loved animals and found caring for them to be an irreplaceable experience that makes my heart happy. I want to pass this love of animals and caretaking to my daughter and figured using an opportunity like pet and housesitting while I finish my degree and transition back to working would be the most fun and fulfilling way to get through this difficult time. I will not only be caring for your animals but teaching my child invaluable lessons on what it means to be responsible for a pet. I am currently a full-time online student finishing my BA and my daughter is being homeschooled, so I have flexibility to offer the pet care closest to what the owners provide them. I will care for pets in the clients home as closely to their own care for their pets. I will update them as often as desired and keep their space clean and comfortable. I was a residential cleaner for several years, and I guarantee a respectful stay within their homes.
About: Hi! I’m Alexx! I graduated from ASU and I’m 26 years old. I pet sat since 2015 and I love it! I’ve taken care of cats and dogs, both puppies and kittens. I also have taken care of fish, birds, reptiles, and spiders. I had two dogs of my own, who were like my kids. I love being around animals, and I'm very active for I was a personal trainer in college. I also have a very flexible schedule. I am very flexible and can go to your needs. I also love animals and like to be around them when I can! When I had my dogs, who are now in doggy Heaven I would feed them in the morning and give them snacks throughout the day. Both dogs were active and in great shape til they got old. I would take them on walks and adventures when I would go out, especially on hikes and car rides. I loved to spoil my babies, but in a healthy way. Not too much or too little. I am free to your needs! My work schedule is flexible/Hybrid. I’m here to spend time with loving animals and make their day a little better when their owner isn’t present. I would ask if there are any specific and special needs your pet/ pets acquire. I would ask if your pet has a daily routine or a certain schedule I need to follow.

Sidney is an incredible pet sitter, and I feel so lucky to have found her. She took wonderful care of my cat, Cleopatra, and I always felt completely at ease knowing Cleopatra was safe, loved, and well cared for. Sidney is extremely trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely kind, and she has been available for me even on very short notice, which means so much. I can truly rely on her and trust her completely with my home and my pet. I highly recommend Sidney to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter.
Nicole is an amazing pet sitter! Great communication and very reliable. She was able to get one of our very shy cats to warm up to her. Nicole went above and beyond, even helping us with a household issue while we were out of town. Definitely recommend Nicole and we will hire her again!

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 .
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.
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 .

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 , 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.
