About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. As a child, I always wanted a pet but was frequently told no. As a teenager, a family member needed an indefinite pet sitter for his young schnauzer. I took care of his baby for 3 months and fell in love with being his provider. It was devastating when I had to return him back to his owner and my parents felt terrible. They finally saw the capable person that I was and gave me my own puppy to take care of! My mother and I were his sole caregivers up until he passed. His name was Panda. Right after school, I’d put his leash on him and would take him on lively walks. I taught him how to do tricks, even roll over! He was mostly in for the treats. I took him on my long car rides where he mostly slept in the backseat but you could tell how much he loved it. I am very serious about safety so of course he had a seatbelt. Towards the end of his life, he became sick. It was like he became a senior in one singular, sudden day. He had a plethora of medications and supplements that he needed to take that I became responsible of. I was also the spokesperson for him during his scary vet appointments. Needless to say, I will take good care of your pet. Whether they are a puppy or a senior, I have it handled. I lived a life where I was able to fully love my boy and it would be a token to him that I take care of your babies. I am currently not working so I am mostly free from Monday-Thursday from early morning to sunset. I am very selective about my time from Friday-Sunday but I can always make space for your fur baby with proper communication! I do not have the space in my home to take care of your pet but I can always go to yours! I am a rule-follower so whatever you tell me, I will gladly do. No matter how specific.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 14. I have loved animals since I was born and am able to administer medications and also insulin if needed. My first pet sitting actually involved small farm animals too! I work at Yard house, a restaurant in the Palmdale valley. While I can work late hours I will always make sure your animal’s care comes first and foremost. I currently do not have my own home as I am renting a room. I sadly am not able to offer board and care in my own home at this time.
About: I have 2 dogs of my own, and my precious kitty Kaia. I have pet sit dogs and cats through my college years just to be around pets. Growing up ive raised all type of animals including horses, cattle, sheep, and some experience with birds. The number one thing ive learned from any animal is showing respect for boundaries gets you far. Theyre showing you what theyre okay with and its important to listen within reason. I have recently moved back to the area to assist my grandparents and have all the time in the world to pet sit. Not only will pet sitting keep me busy but also reconnect me to the community. Caring for pets is all about respect and boundaries. Following the owners instructions and making sure the pets have what they need is my #1 priority. Whether it's a walk or just making sure they are cared for during a weekend get away. Animals may only leave the house per instructions on a leash. Only the food provided will be given. Dogs must be introduced for the first time by owners.
About: I've taken care of animals my whole life! Now that I have pets of my own, I know how hard it is to get someone trust worthy to watch them, so I am here to help! I am young and very active so your animals will be very entertained. I work remotely so I am home all day everyday so you never have to worry about them being alone. I am also very diligent with training so I can help there as well. I work remotely so I am home all the time. I can easily continue whatever routine they are on, or bring them on mine! They will be watched all day all night, weekdays and weekends. I live in a two-story home with two empty bedrooms, so they have plenty of room to roam. I also have a fenced-in backyard and live three houses down from a large park. There's a hike in my community that I love to go on and I am a regular at the dog beach. I also have an 11 month old pup so your dog will have a friend! I can absolutely continue whatever routine they have, and crate them or give them their own room at night if that is preferred.
About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience in caring for animals, including training puppies and providing specialized care for senior pets. With years of volunteering at shelters, dog sitting, and personal ownership of both dogs and cats, I understand the unique needs of each furry friend and can provide tailored care accordingly. Whether it's giving extra attention to an elderly dog or engaging in energetic playtime with a playful puppy, I'm equipped to handle it all with care and expertise. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine despite working full-time. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to check in on pets every two to four hours, depending on the distance. Additionally, I'm available in the evenings to provide companionship, take them on walks, or simply ensure they're well cared for while you're away. Your pet's well-being is my priority, and I'm committed to accommodating their needs within my schedule. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's residence, I prioritize their well-being and safety. I treat each pet as if they were my own, providing them with love, attention, and any necessary care they require. Additionally, I respect the client's home by adhering to any rules or guidelines they've provided and ensuring that their space remains clean and tidy throughout my stay. My goal is to create a comfortable and nurturing environment for both pets and owners alike, whether they're with me or in the familiar surroundings of their own home.

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 .

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 .
