“Sasha was wonderful with Phoenix and Stormy. She fed them, and walked them and we came home to well rested pups. She was communicative and kept us in the loop with everything. Will definitely call her again for the next pup sitting need.”

About: I have been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs, cats, and horses of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, family members, and clients have trusted me to care for their pets, provide companionship, maintain routines, and ensure their safety and well-being. I am patient, attentive, and responsible, and I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I provide plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and regular updates with photos. My goal is to give every pet the same care and attention I would give my own family. I recently moved to California and am currently building a new chapter in my life. This transition gives me the flexibility to dedicate more time to caring for pets, something that truly brings me joy. I love spending time with animals, getting to know their unique personalities, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to adapt to each pet’s routine and needs. I currently provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their regular routines. I understand the importance of trust when caring for both pets and someone’s home. I am responsible, respectful, attentive to details, and committed to following each owner’s instructions carefully. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving experience for every pet while giving their owners peace of mind.

About: I have had dogs since my college years. I love animals. I treat them as part of family. Although I no longer have my pup, She was spoiled! She was bathed, fed, walked and has all her needs met. I would take her hiking with me sometimes and she would love it. I really strive to provide a safe and comfortable experience for each pet in my care. I do this by following any special care instructions given carefully and doing my best to keep each pet as close to their normal schedule. I will treat your baby as if she was part of my family. Thank you for considering me to care for your pet(s). I work from home therefore I am able to walk, feed, play and pay attention to your baby. My weekend are usually free and if not I can work around for when I am needed. I live in a home with a huge gated backyard. There is a lot of grass. I can take for a walk around my area and walk to our community park for some extra exercise.

About: Taking care of family pets since I was about 10 years old and much more in recent years, I have experience with a wide range of animals at all stages of life. From hermit crabs, hamsters, a sick kitten, a rowdy Labrador puppy and a full grown Rottweiler through grade school. To the last 10 years living close to my sister spending loads of time with her 2 pugs, keeping them active and cared for, easing her stress while she traveled for work. As they grew older I learned senior care for dogs including diaper changes, special diets and assisting in walking and daily activities and of course extra cuddles. She now has a new puppy and kitten I frequently sit for and give all my attention to that young playful energy! My neighbor can also rely on me to walk his dog as needed and I periodically dog sit at his home or board her at mine for longer periods of time. I am happy to host well behaved animals in my condo but prefer to home/pet sit so the animals can be where they feel the most comfortable. I also organize and lead kitten yoga monthly to raise funds and awareness for Kitty of Angels rescue and am working on a puppy yoga and horse yoga class. It feels so heartwarming and rewarding to spend my time with all animals, whether they are other's pets or in need of a home and extra love. I hope you’ll choose me to share my love and care with yours 🤍🙏🏽 I teach yoga part time at studios across LA and typically have long breaks between classes where I am able to be home and give attention to, walk and play with the pets I watch after. I enjoy rising early for morning routines and have the flexibility to adjust my schedule as needed. When sitting in clients homes, I respect any wishes they have as far as letting pets on furniture, honoring any restricted spaces, where the pets sleep and eat and follow closely to potty breaks and meal times. I am clean and responsible and you can rely on me to keep your home clean and well cared for as well! In my home, smaller pets have plenty of space to roam around in my two story loft. I ensure pets are cozy and rest on a blanket or pet bed if provided. I have easy access to the side building entrance where I can take them outside in front. I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood where they are sure to make friends on our walks!

About: I regularly dog-sit for family friends ranging from small, medium, and large dogs (most experience with Chihuahuas, Terriers, Shih Tzus, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Spaniels)! I've also been a regular volunteer at Priceless Pet Rescue in Claremont and Chino Hills from 2022 - 2025. I feel particularly comfortable with mellow dogs who just need a friend to hang out with and play together, but I'm excited to care for more active dogs who require consistent exercise and/or mental stimulation. I enjoy walking with dogs in the mornings and evenings when the air and sidewalks are cooler, but I'm more than happy with accommodating your dogs' specific routine. I’m super excited to meet your doggies and thank you for your consideration! I'm currently available all days of the week and open to any specific hours you might need me to check in on your fur baby! I'm also open to overnight boarding if needed. My two cats are strictly indoor only, with occasional supervised and harnessed walks/exploration time outside, which helped me become very attentive. I will notice very quickly if your dogs or cats are not in their usual areas of the house, and will work fast to contact you and locate them ASAP. I will always put your pets' safety first with gentle, cooperative care, patience, and love!

About: Dogs have been part of my life as long as I can remember! Love meeting all of them and can't wait to meet your little bud! I make my own schedule, so for the most part I'm available when needed (with proper planning for longer visits of course.) Feel free to reach out when you need a hand! My pup is on pretty good schedule, so I'm know the importance of keeping those scheduled feedings and/or outside time. If we need walks, someone to throw a ball to get the zoomies out or just someone to hang with so they're not alone all day I'm in!

Graham was super kind the entire time and was flexible when we came back from our trip early. He kept us updated on our fur babies through the app and reached out when necessary. Will definitely request him again And would recommend him to other. :)”

“We could not be happier with the attention and care taken while we were away. This was our first time away from the cats, and their first time without us. When we returned they were happy, running around, tails in the air, and acting normal as if nothing different had happened. Maybe a little hurt they didn't seem to mind us being away, but that is all the better. We'll be back with Alyssa next years vacation, without any questions or hesitation.”

About: I have owned animals my entire life including dogs, cats, horses, snakes, tortoises, and turtles. I have helped take care of even more including a bunny, a goat, a pig, chickens, a leopard gecko, and a bearded dragon. I have experience with dogs ages 0-12+, and cats ages 0-16. I also have experience giving dogs medication including insulin shots. I have additional time between caring for my own animals, and animals that I am taking care of for family/friends to help out whoever needs it on days that I don’t also have work! I always treat every animal I come in contact with like they are my own, and I do everything I can to make sure that every animal is taken care of to the best of my ability. Even if I am just doing a drop in or a walk, I will use any amount of time I have to build trust with your pets.

About: Dear prospective client, I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 30 years. Professionally, I have worked as a walker for Mobile Mutts in Brooklyn, NY; a doggy daycare associate at NYC's Biscuits and Bath, and took care of pugs at a rescue called Pug Nation in Los Angeles, where I currently reside. In my personal life, I've been a devoted parent to 5 kitties and 2 pups. I've administered diabetes and other medication to cats; I've volunteered at multiple cat and dog rescues, where I was responsible for feeding, cleaning, playing and walking. I am passionate about animals and their well-being. I am an expert snuggler but also cognizant of a pet's boundaries and their special needs. I am a freelancer and have a flexible schedule that allows me to take on last-minute appointments. On most days, I am available as early as 7 a.m., and as late as 11p.m. I have a spacious and totally private, fenced-in backyard with grass that's a great space for some doggy playing and exercise. I live in a peaceful, safe community that's a dream for dog-walking. If pet-setting at your place, I will greet your pup with joy and love and make sure they feel loved. If crating is necessary, I am happy to do that as well. For kitties, I will play and snuggle and make them feel completely adored and engaged. Litterbox cleaning, medication administering, whatever your pet needs, they will be covered.

About: When I’m not in school I love spending time with animals. Dogs are my favorite because I grew up with dogs my whole life. I love going to the park with the dogs, I live next to the biggest park in Santa Clarita. I just graduated from university and I currently am enrolled in one emergency dispatch course so I have plenty of spare time. I honestly couldn’t think of a better way of spending that time than playing with and taking dogs to the park/walks. I have a very spacious backyard and I have one friendly dog in my home so your pups will always have a pal to play and run around with. I have an extra large dog crate as well so you won’t need to bring your own.

Accommodated a last minute request for help with kindness and professionalism. She was flexible in working with our tight schedules and met every request with exceptional care. I really appreciated her detailed check in reports with numerous pictures of our cat. It helped relieve my anxiety about our cat staying hidden and isolated rather than interacting. Will definitely ask for her again in the future, and highly recommend to others!

Laura was so attentive, caring, thorough and courteous. We have two rescue dogs, one of which is a nervous nelly, but we were never concerned or worried about her under Laura’s care! She sent lots of photos and loved on our dogs—I had no worries or stress and the dogs were very happy and treated so well. I’ve had some negative experiences booking through rover in the past, but I would highly recommend Laura and gladly book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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 request a 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.
