About: I've been a pet guardian all of my (long-ish) life and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented — I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I'm currently not working full time, so I have time to help you look after your animals. My dogs (springer spaniels) lived very long and happy lives, and now I have a solo cat at home. I am available to visit your animals in your home, take them for walks, clean up after them and play with them. I can't have overnights at the moment due to my own pet.
About: My name is Dinh and I’m excited to meet you and your pets. You can count on me to assist you with all your pets’ needs. I'm reliable, responsible, and eager to learn all about your furry friends. I offer pet sitting and drop-in visits and am flexible with my schedule. I'm excited to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment for your furry friends. I’m currently working but have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. We can work around a schedule to care for your pets while you are gone. I will care for your pets per your instructions at your home. I am trustworthy, tidy and very reliable. You will have peace of mind.
About: I've had experience caring for and being around pets my whole life. From owning them myself to watching the neighbors dogs while they went on vacation. I believe i'm fully equipped to care for your fuzzy companion! I currently have a pretty open schedule and am flexible, easily able to provide an experience to meet your pet care needs with care and reliability. I will listen to your needs and am able to thoroughly follow instructions. My best interest is keeping you and your furry friends happy & cared for.
About: I have always pet and house sat for neighbors, family friends, my family. I am a home body and enjoy watching over and protecting people's homes and beloved animals while they are away. I am always apprehensive leaving my pets alone with a stranger, that is why I strive to make people feel safe and comfortable. I have always been an animal person and have done pet-sitting as a favor to people. I figured, now as a nineteen year old, why not make it a nice little side hustle to earn some extra money for college. I live in Solvang California and I work a part time job on the weekdays. Other than that I can walk dogs, do drop in visits and I can stay in your house to watch over your animals. Each pet is unique, I appreciate when owners walk me through their routine, leave notes and emergency contact info, if anything were to happen. I want to make both the animals and owners comfortable, and like everyone to be on the same page. Communication is very valuable.
“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!”
“Ryan was amazing! It was so nice to go out of town knowing that my cat was getting probably more attention than I give him when I'm at home! I recently moved into the area and I was nervous about finding a pet sitter with short notice. Ryan worked hard to win over my shy boy and they were best buddies in less than a day or two! I received dozens of photos a day. Ryan did all sorts of "beyond the call of duty" items, as well. I wholeheartedly recommend Ryan to take care of your fur baby. I know who I will contact next time I have plans to go out of town!”
About: I have had cats since I was a young girl and own two 10 year old cats now, adopted from rescue shelters. I love all animals! I will ensure they have clean food and water, play and cuddle time, clean litter, and lots of love. I have five star ratings because I am caring, reliable, respectful, clean and communicative and truly love cats and the people I meet. I work remotely and have flexible hours so can pop in for a day time visit or stay overnights when I’m not caring for my daughter (have shared custody so a good amount of time on my own and enjoy traveling to care for cats too). I am attentive and communicative and will ask for your preferences but care for cats in their home and comfort zone. I am very familiar with cats and comfortable around animals.
“Kristine is very professional working with our dog. She was gentle and careing and our dog became very close to her. Kristine was always attentive and on time. She was a blessing when I had an extended business meeting she was able to return and cover for me. In the future I would recommend hiring her again.thank you.”

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.

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 .
