I’m responsible, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s going for walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I also have experience looking after homes and understand the importance of keeping everything clean, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. You can count on me to treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week.

About: I’ve dedicated years to caring for dogs through rescue, fostering, boarding, and pet sitting. I also run a dog rescue, so caring for dogs is a huge part of my everyday life. I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and temperaments—including shy, fearful, anxious, and behaviorally challenging dogs who need extra patience and understanding. I also have lots of hands-on experience caring for dogs with medical needs and special care requirements, including administering medications and monitoring dogs who need extra attention. I have my own Yorkie, Duchess, who absolutely loves having friends over! She’s used to sharing her space with foster dogs and visiting pups, which makes my home a fun and social environment for dogs who enjoy canine companionship. One of the things my clients especially love is that their dogs can get healthy, appropriate socialization while staying with me. Because I regularly foster dogs, your pup can enjoy companionship and interaction with other dogs when it’s a good fit for their personality. I always prioritize safety and make sure every dog’s individual needs and comfort level come first. And there’s plenty of room to enjoy it! I have a beautiful, dog-friendly 3,000-square-foot backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, relax, and get some exercise. I also believe you shouldn’t have to wonder how your dog is doing while you’re away. I provide daily photo and video updates so you can see your pup enjoying their stay, getting comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention. To me, dogs are family—not just pets. When your dog is in my care, they’ll receive lots of love, attention, companionship, and individualized care in a home where dogs are genuinely part of everyday life. My goal is for you to feel completely confident knowing your dog is being cared for as one of my own. I run a foster-based dog rescue, and most of the work is done from my phone, so my daily life genuinely revolves around dogs. I also work in the fashion industry, but typically only 1–3 days per month. On the rare occasions I’m working, I have professional dog trainers I work with who can step in and provide care. This means your dog will never be left without attentive, experienced care or have a lapse in their routine. Most days, I’m home and available throughout the day for walks, playtime, cuddles, and individual attention. I also provide daily photo and video updates so you can always see how your pup is doing. I have a beautiful, dog-friendly 3,000-square-foot backyard where pups can safely play, explore, and enjoy plenty of outdoor time. My Yorkie, Duchess, loves having friends over! I also run a foster-based dog rescue, so I have extensive experience safely introducing and socializing dogs with different personalities and needs. Through my rescue work, I have extensive hands-on experience recognizing when a dog may be uncomfortable, becoming ill, or experiencing a medical issue, and knowing when professional veterinary care is needed. I keep many of the supplies and essentials needed to address common issues on hand and have established relationships with multiple veterinary offices for additional support when needed. Dogs are always supervised, and I can accommodate crating, separation, medication routines, and other individual needs. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me.

About: What sets me apart is my deep commitment to following your exact routine. I am attentive to detail whether your pet requires a strict medication schedule, extra potty breaks, or highly specific care instructions. I truly love animals and focus on giving them my undivided attention, plenty of affection, and the dedicated time they deserve. I am able to care for animals at least 5 times out of the week for 4-6 hours. Depending on the days required, I do have school at certain times a week. I have hobbies and obligations to do as well. I believe 4-6 hours is time that I do have depending on the day of course as mentioned. I could possibly even spend a full day if needed. Again this depends on the day of the week and month. The reason I can’t take in animals at my own home is because I simply don’t have enough space or else I totally would! Also, the baby of the bunch doesn’t do well with new comers. I feed my cats at least 3 times a day they beg like they haven’t eaten in days I might add. They often let me know when they want things by getting my attention and running to the bowl or to their toys or the door to be let out. They have a litter box with cat pellets so It doesn’t stink up the entire house. Laser pointer sessions and dangling cat toys are their favorite. Yes of course the box the cat trees come in are more fun than the actual tree. Cat trees are replaced often, my cats love to chat with me when I talk they talk back. They love wet food every twice a week with many ingredients. My dad’s dog I take care of while he’s on 1 year vacation loves hiking trails that I usually walk on haha. He prefers the best of the best kinds of dog food won’t eat anything else! He’s a good boy and they’re sometimes good cats since they like to knock things over every once in a while or try and pick at my food when I’m on a quick bathroom break. All in all it’s easy to take care of animals in my opinion my cats were not easy to take care of as kittens they needed a lot done and one of them always had issues with her bladder and glands. She’s better now thanks to God and me for the outrageous bills. I’d do it for every animal if I could but I just don’t have enough resources or money to do so. I do love animals and they deserve joy, a wide environment, and amazing care while they’re living and breathing.

About: Hi! I’m Hiro, originally from Japan and living in Los Angeles for over 20 years. As a work-from-home pet parent to a six-year-old mini Goldendoodle mix, I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s routine and personality. I welcome small to medium-sized dogs for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight care. Your dog will enjoy a safe, calm, and loving experience with plenty of attention and regular photo updates for your peace of mind. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and daycare needs. I offer drop-in visits and walks from your home. Daycare and overnight guests require a meet-and-greet with my mini Goldendoodle to ensure a good match. My single-family home is in a gated community and has a secure, double-fenced yard with artificial grass for safe potty breaks. I carefully follow each dog’s routine and provide calm, attentive care. Dogs staying in my home must be up to date on required vaccinations and flea and tick prevention.

“All of my kitties fell in love with Vanessa. She was as attentive to the shy and aloof adult cats as she was to the playful 12-week-old foster kittens. This was something I really appreciated, as my adult cats - while not hostile - aren't exactly charming to strangers. Vanessa told me she brought her own cat from to California when she moved here. That told me she thinks of pets as true lifetime companions. She then also adopted a dog and just exudes positive vibes. I would 100% recommend her services.”

About: I’ve always been the person friends and family trust to watch their pets because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a puppy with lots of energy, a senior pet who needs a slower pace and extra care, or a pet that’s a little shy at first, I’m patient and happy to adjust to their needs. I pay attention to the little things, follow routines closely, and love sending updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re hanging out with a friend, not just being watched I’m currently on summer break from my job as an elementary after-school teacher, so I have a more flexible schedule and extra time to dedicate to pet care. During the summer, I work a part-time job, which allows me to provide care before and after my shifts. I’m able to plan my schedule around pets’ needs and make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m also available on weekends for extra visits, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention if needed. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in your home, I try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and get plenty of love and attention. I know every cat is different—some want constant cuddles and playtime, while others prefer their space—so I always let them set the pace. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 .

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.

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 .

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.
