“Lucinda was amazing! When my usual cat sitter cancelled last minute before Christmas, Lucinda agreed to watch my kitty for a full week. She sent lots of pictures every day, and was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. I would highly recommend trusting Lucinda with your pet, and I will definitely be using her services again! Thanks Lucinda!!”
About: i’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. I started volunteering in New Jersey and moved to LA to volunteer and save animals. I currently quit my job so I can be a full-time pet sitter and take care of fur babies and my dream is to open up an animal sanctuary to save animals and care for them my cat is only an indoor cat so if I do cat in boarding, they will strictly stay inside and my cat is great with other animals. For dogs, this will vary depend, depending on which service you book.
“Birute consistently cared for my cat and made every effort to make sure he felt comfortable and safe. Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy my trip with complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Birute to everyone. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my cat! ❤️”
“Amanda took great care of Hobbes! From the very beginning she was very communicative and continued through out. She made sure to send pictures and updates while I was away. She took such good care Hobbes didn’t even to seem to notice I was gone when I came back. Would highly recommend Amanda to anyone who needs help with their cats.”
“Jessica was available last minute and did an amazing job with my cat Hobbes. While she stayed with him overnight she made sure to send photos and multiple updates through out the visit and eased my mind of leaving him home. Highly recommend her to anyone!!!”
About: My pet care experience started in 2017. At the beginning of 2022, I adopted a stray cat and she's amazing. She was my companion during the strict control policy of COVID-19 in China. Excepting pet sitting, I am also a full-time/part time independent caregiver and personal cook. I like caring for homes because cleaning for me is a special meditation. Taking good care of a nest is like taking good care of a family member or a pet. I love radiating my positive energy to others. Your loved one (s) will be in good hands. I'm currently working as a part-time high-end caregiver, taking care of seniors or doing Post-Op care. Normally I work 4-5 hours per day. I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I will strictly follow the client's instructions and make sure the pets keep their good habits and not mess up its routine after the owner comes back.
About: I have always had a love for pets. At 14 I had a Bernese Mountain dog, so I am comfortable with big breeds. I have had people rely on me to feed, walk, and just hang out with their pets while they were away. New to the Santa Monica area! Have open availability at the moment. Look to explore the area and get to know new places. Excited to see what this area has to offer! I drive a large car, so I am able to transport any breed of dog if they need to be brought somewhere to be walked or to play.
“Charli, or, as I’ve dubbed her, The Cat Whisperer, was wonderfully communicative, patient, understanding and kind. She was also a font of information, which is the reason for the nickname. Despite having cats for most of my nearly forties years, I learned a thing or two from her. No wonder my kitties warmed up so quickly at her place. If I wasn’t moving out of state, she’d certainly be my go-to. Thanks again, Charli!”
About: New to Rover but not new to pet sitting! I am a reliable and caring animal person. I have two cats of my own and have lived with cats my whole life. I have hands on experience with even the most needy of cats, including the administration of pills, inhalers, and IV medications. I am a former attorney and current business owner, so you can expect professionalism, reliability, and clear communication. I know the value of updates and pictures. Rest assured that with me your kitties will be in good hands. I can work with you to identify a good schedule that fits your pet’s unique needs. For example, I can drop by your place 1-3 times a day and will stay for at least 30 minutes each time to keep your pets company. I will treat your home and pets as if they were my own. I am happy to water plants, check mail, etc. I will work with you to establish a care plan to suit your specific needs.
“Greg saved the day for me last Wednesday when I had to get our elderly 86-lb dog Rocco out of the house, lift him into the car, drive him to the vet, then get him back in the house after the vet visit. Not your usual task as a dog sitter but Greg was willing to take it on. Thank you, Greg, for your help!”
About: Hi! I’m Aaron — a former pet lodge employee with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I genuinely love being around animals and treat every pet like they’re my own, whether they’re super energetic, shy, cuddly, anxious, or somewhere in between. A few things you can expect when your pet stays with me: • 📸 Regular photo & text updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing • 🐕 Walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of attention based on your pet’s personality • 🌴 Trips to parks, beach walks, or outdoor time for dogs that enjoy adventures and exercise • 🐱 Patient care for shy or anxious cats — I understand not every pet warms up immediately • 🍖 Careful attention to feeding routines, medications, potty schedules, and special instructions • 🧼 Clean, safe, and calm environment where your pet can feel comfortable and relaxed • ❤️ Someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, not just “watching” them My experience working at a pet lodge helped me become comfortable handling all kinds of situations and pet behaviors. I’ve cared for energetic puppies, senior pets, nervous rescues, and multi-pet households, so I understand that every animal has different needs and comfort levels. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I've been a dog walker, dog lover, dog groomer, dog kisser, dog snuggler, dog hugger, dog teacher and dog admirer since the day I was born. Growing up, my family always had a dog around the house. We had Mandy Dog (a German Shorthaired Pointer), Winnie (fluffy-sunshine-mix-a-doodle) and Paris (Australian Shepherd/Pitbull mix) at various stages of my youth. When I was 12, I raised my first puppy (a lil fluffy Golden named Lucy) and I taught her everything from sit to play dead. In high school I was a dog bather for a local dog groomer. From this job I learned about different breed personalities, needs and care. Currently, I work from home and would love to care for your friend. I'm very flexible on timing and availability. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I can do same-day visits on the west side. Whatever you and your pet need I will try to accommodate. My front yard is enclosed and safe for sniffing and hanging out but I will be walking your pets all around my area (avoiding the canals) and playing with them on the beach (unless you don't want this/they don't enjoy that).
“My fiancé and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with our cats! Anton is SO communicative and proactive with sending updates about our girls! He’s been great with last minute bookings. As a gal with severe anxiety, I rest easy knowing the cats are in good hands with Anton.”
“I really enjoyed meeting Shelby and had a great experience with her sitting for our cat! Shelby sent cute photos and arrived consistently to care for Cholula - we’ll look forward to her help again in the future!”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was very young, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. From looking after my own dogs (ranging from various breeds; big and small), I have also taken care of others furry friends. I am quite comfortable with various breeds and temperaments. I have experience in feeding, cleaning up after them, providing lots of playtime, walks and hikes, etc. It’s always a pleasure to keep them company and be a caring companion to them. I have cared for older dogs as well as looked after some puppies. I am mindful of the types of energy, patience and attention each age of dog would need. I am committed to creating a loving and playful environment for the dogs I care for. I believe actively engaging with them and showing them individualized attention is so important in making them feel secure and safe. Every dog is different and I adapt based on their personality to make sure they feel comfortable! I give lots of love to my small dog, George. He is a mix and on the smaller side. I have helped train him and incorporate tricks into playtime so he can have a good time. He means the world to me, so it’s absolutely understandable how deeply others feel about their fur babies too! Trust and reliability are huge in my book, and it would be my pleasure to help take care of your dog/dogs! Hello! I am a hardworking individual working full-time in fashion production. I currently work Monday-Friday 9-5, sometimes 8-4. I am available on weekends at anytime and weekdays after 4/5pm or before 8/9am. I’m hoping I can help someone out during their busy day, and care for their furry friends and also to make my work days a lot brighter! At home my dog has a big yard that has a fence around it. Lots of room for activity! In a client’s home I know it’s important to maintain awareness of safety protocols, keeping door and windows closed if need be. Building trust with clients and their pets is also very important and I am always open to meeting with the dogs beforehand to help them feel more comfortable!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Pacific Palisades
Samanta was wonderful for our first sit. She sent detailed photo updates every visit and clearly spent real quality time with the cats; playtime, photo shoots, the works. She always locked up and left the place tidy, including taking out the trash on the final visit. Communicative, reliable, and caring, we'd gladly book her again.
Caitlin was a great communicator, totally reliable, and wonderful with our little cat. She was also able to help in a pinch with extra things when needed -- bringing in a new order of cat litter, helping with the mail, sweeping. We've hired her twice and will definitely hire her again.
Riley was amazing with my cats! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of them while I was away. My cats can be a little particular, but they were happy and well cared for when I got home. I really appreciated the updates and would definitely book Riley again. Highly recommend!
I’m really glad I had Karlie as my cat sitter. My cats seemed very happy and well cared for. Karlie is very sweet, reliable, and respectful—she followed instructions carefully and spent quality time with them. After some disappointing experiences in the past with other sitters on Rover, I finally feel like I found someone I can trust. I would definitely book 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 .
