About: I’m very passionate when it comes to animals and pets. I have patience, I pay close attention to detail, and have a genuine love for animals. I have experience in caring for high energy pets. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific needs each pet has. I stay consistent so pets feel comfortable and less stressed while their owners are away. Our pets are our family, they bring us the joy and love we sometimes don’t even realize we’re missing. They are just babies and should always be treated as priority!
“Shannon was so cute with my cats! She sent me pictures each time she visited them. She is responsive to any concern, and is quick to communicate if she has concerns herself. I will absolutely be rebooking her in the future, thank you Shannon for being awesome and caring for my cats like they are yours. -Erica”
“Ariana was the best dog sitter I could’ve asked for. She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared about my dog. I came home to a happy, well-taken care of pup. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Once again Hilary was amazing. All of our pets love her and she took such great care of them. She adds a lot of detail to the Rover card and pictures which makes being away and traveling so much easier when missing them. She even stopped by before our trip to meet our new rescue pup. Will definitely book again.”
About: With 12 years managing a nonprofit animal rescue, I bring hands-on experience in both daily care and veterinary needs. I’m confident with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including special needs pets—your furry family is safe with me! While house sitting, I do work Thursday–Monday and am off Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I usually head out around 6:30–7am, but I have flexibility in my schedule and can sometimes work from home. I make sure all pets are well cared for with plenty of attention, exercise, and love before and after my workday. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe in their own home. I do my best to keep everything consistent—from feeding and walks to their favorite cuddle spots. Whether your pet needs extra attention, quiet companionship, or lots of snuggles, I’m there to make their time without you as stress-free as possible.
“Cynthia was great!!! We were nervous about leaving our rescue dog for the first time. She was very responsive to messages and at the meet and greet asked good questions and answered any questions we had. She went above and beyond each day for both our dog and cat! She is truly one of the best pet sitters ever!”
“Sarah took excellent care of my dog. She gave us so much peace of mind on our trip and it was honestly like we never left. Our dog obviously had a wonderful few days of drop in care with Sarah and we will be contacting her again in the future for more care. Thank you, Sarah!”
About: I’m a college student home for the summer- I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes! I have loved taking care of pets since I got a dog of my own in 2014. I’m a dependable and active pet sitter who treats every dog like my own. I’m calm, patient, and great with routines. What you can expect: – Consistent feeding & walk schedules – Photo and text updates – Extra care for shy or anxious dogs – Safe environment I am eager to spend time with your furry friends! I am a full time student at Westmont college, and I’m available most weekdays and weekends. I love to walk local neighborhoods and beaches in my free time and would love to have your pet come along! I have some availability on weekends for walks and drop-ins! I do not provide my own home care- though I’d love to spend time with your friend outside or in-house! I have lots of experience house sitting and pet sitting for friends and neighbors.
About: I’ve personally have had pets in the past, along with sitting friends, family and neighbors animals. I’ve also worked at PetSmart for a year, so I’m very comfortable and confident around different animals. Im an online student and have open availability to give personal attention to a furry friend. I’m open to last minute requests and over night stays. I live in a welcoming neighborhood that’s great for walks. My backyard is the perfect size for a pet to run around in with a 5 foot high fence.
“Jessica was outstanding ! She notified me every day when she got to my house and the boys really loved her! She was very accommodating to any last minute changes and she was very attentive to the instructions left for her. I would absolutely hire her again ! ❤️”
About: When I was 8, my family got a Shih Tzu pup that I learned so much from over his 15 years of life. Because of the tight-knit bond I had with my Shih Tzu, I'm most familiar with the needs of small/toy breeds like grooming, exercise, and senior health issues. I recently volunteered at the county animal shelter, where I was responsible for providing dogs with enrichment and exercise. As part of the training, I became familiar with interpreting and understanding dog behaviors (regardless of sex/breed), like adjusting to their comfort levels, respecting their boundaries, and reading their body language to ensure everyone's safety (including theirs). Ultimately, I can assure you that your buddies will be cared for like they’re family! I'm currently on medical leave from both college and work, so I'm usually at home all day! This is perfect if you have a cuddly or anxious pet, because I'll have plenty of time to spend with them (napping, cuddling, playing, etc). When it comes to any services offered, I want to make sure that your pets and I are safe at all times. Aside from safety, their comfort is very important to me. I'll do my absolute best to make sure they feel safe and comfortable under my care. I always make sure to introduce myself slowly and will respect your friend’s need for space at any point, especially if they're shy. I usually turn the area under my desk into a mini fort for them with their blanket and other comfort items like beds or toys. This usually helps them have a safe and comfortable space to retreat to if they ever get startled or overstimulated. I've learned to give pets ample time to acclimate to the new person and environment before introducing them to anyone else, especially if they're known to be shy. I do my absolute best to go at their pace and comfort level, not mine.
“Tatyana kicked ass with helping me and my dogs. I asked her to show up in the middle of the super bowl to let my dogs out and she did it at a moment's notice and did it professionally. I would hire her again anyday. Thank you!”
About: The same traits that have served me well in taking care of special needs people , helps me serve the needs of pets who can’t speak for themselves. Paying attention to their moods and expressions and eating habits gives me confidence and assurance they are happy and healthy, or when it could be time to call for help I work mostly weekends part time so I have lots of time to share with pets, The most I would need to be away from your pet is 4 hours. I love to talk to animals sweetly and greet them as friends and family , it makes me feel good to know they have all the food ,Water, meds and exercise they need.
“Sam was great. We struggle with having someone outside our immediate family watch our cat’s, but we have this a shot and Sam was awesome great communicator both before and during our vacation. He sent a bunch of photos for us, the Rover report cards after each visit, and even brought in an Amazon package that arrived earlier than expected. There is no question I will request Sam for all future vacations - 100% Thanks Sam!”

Cynthia was great!!! We were nervous about leaving our rescue dog for the first time. She was very responsive to messages and at the meet and greet asked good questions and answered any questions we had. She went above and beyond each day for both our dog and cat! She is truly one of the best pet sitters ever!
Ross was an absolute Godsend!! He took such good care of my kitties, and they warmed up to him rather quickly, even my shy girl Rosie. He kept in touch promptly and made sure to leave detailed notes after each visit. He was extremely accommodating as well, as maintenance had to change my locks while I was away and I also had a package delivered early... I informed him of all of this and he graciously changed my keys on my key ring and made sure my package made it inside safely. He went above and beyond the call of duty and I felt my kitties were in great hands. I would 100% book with him again!
Cori was amazing! She looked after my cat, Maple, for two weeks and did such a great job. She visited regularly, played with Maple, and kept her happy and comfortable the whole time. She even took care of my houseplants without me asking. I totally recommend Cori and will definitely book her again in the future.

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.

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.
