“Rebekah has been very reliable when caring for my dog Boba. She sends me updates with pictures and lets me know how Boba is doing. I can tell she really loves spending time with animals by how she cares for my Boba.”
“Stephanie was a great sitter and kept me updated consistently while checking on my kitties. You can tell she really cares. She even took my garbage out since I was on vacation. A+!!!”
About: I have a 11 years old poodle 🐩 at home and have been caring for dogs for many years. I’m experienced with small dogs, senior dogs, and pups that need extra patience and attention.

I’m gentle, responsible, and always treat every pup like family！ I am a homemaker so I am home every day and available to care for dogs full-time. Your pup will always have someone watching, playing with, and caring for them throughout the day🐾 Your pup will enjoy a safe and loving environment in our home. We have a fenced yard for playtime and exercise, and my friendly 11 years old dog will be your pup’s best friend . I provide a warm, family-like atmosphere where every pup feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for throughout the day:)
About: Hello!!! My husband and I have had a cat since 2016 and a dog since 2020. My husband is 6’3” and 200 lbs and we’ve both had a ton of experience with our giant chaotic golden, so we are definitely comfortable with big doggos! Additionally, I’ve walked and taken care of my friends’ dogs (of all sizes) periodically over the past decade when they were on vacation. I’m very conscientious of walking a dog in a public environment and prioritizing the pupper’s needs :) I’m available after 6:30pm most weekdays and frequently on weekends. I own a dog and cat myself (their names are Simba and Willis, respectively) and have been taking care of them constantly for many years now. I’m quite familiar with pets in general and nothing would give me a greater joy than getting to spend time with more animals day after day! I will absolutely love your pet :) My husband works from home, and I go into the office 3 times a week. Our house has a fenced backyard and we take our dog out to parks all the time! I have a friendly dog and cat that can keep your furry baby comfortable and happy. I love animals very much and will dote on them lots!
About: - I've taken care of both my dog and partner's cat through health, sickness, old age, and end of life. - As a former biologist, and with a vet technician in the family, I'm experienced and observant when it comes to pet health and behavior. - I'm calm, patient, and put myself in the minds of pets I interact with. Strange humans are big and intimidating to small animals, so I work on building comfort and trust first, and give them space to do so. I'd like to think I haven't met a pet I couldn't befriend yet! I'm self-employed and set my own hours so my schedule is very flexible. My weekday mornings are the most free, while afternoons and evenings can also work. Privacy is important to me, and I'm a neat and tidy person, so if pet sitting in your home I'll stay only in designated areas, mind my own business, and as with camping, leave no trace.

“Thank you so much for taking care of our cats and our home! We felt able to relax on our trip knowing they were in good hands. We appreciated the all pictures and the check in cards.”
“Jenarae was absolutely amazing! I had never used Rover before and she was kind enough to have a first meet visit with me here and went through the entire process step by step for me. She was patient and so loving to my cat! He typically doesn’t enjoy new people, but he loved Jenarae. It’s so great to be able to keep my cat in his normal environment and know that someone who truly cares about him is giving home love and attention while I’m away. Thank you so much Jenarae!”
“Maya was a great pet sitter who I would definitely book again. I have a lot of anxiety leaving my cats but felt reassured by Maya. She followed my detailed instructions and communicated well throughout the visits. Thanks, Maya!”
“Sandra was absolutely wonderful with my cat Jesse. She gave us regular updates and went above and beyond to accommodate our shy girl. Highly recommend Sandra to any pet parents!!”
“My puppies were very content and happy with the drop in visit! Sandra was available when no one else was during the holiday weekend. She really gave me a peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my family get together a little longer! I’d definitely book her again”
“Svetlana clearly loves cats and has a spacious apartment that’s great for them to explore. While it could help if they have a few more designated hiding spots, she was thoughtful in helping my cat settle in by finding a cozy spot in her closet, which my cat seems to really enjoy. She was great about sending videos in the first few days, I’d love to see more regular updates throughout the stay, which could make the experience even better. I also really appreciated how she worked with me to stay within my budget. Overall, I’m happy with her care and will definitely use her services again!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve been around dogs and cats of all sizes since I was young. I work from home full-time, so flexibility is definitely on my side. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, love, and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is to make every walk and drop-in safe and stress-free! I work remotely from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, walk, or pet sitting, I can easily fit your pet’s routine into my day while giving them the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and follow your instructions carefully—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and favorite routines. I know every pet is different, and I strive to make each visit feel as stress-free and familiar as possible while treating your home with the same respect I’d treat my own.
“Kristi was great with my two kitties who came to love her the two weeks she was here. I received daily photos and updates and saw that my boys were happy and loved. My flight home from Portugal was cancelled twice and Kristi was able to save the day by staying with the boys for two additional nights, so I had one less thing to worry about. I came home to a clean home and happy kitties. Thank you Kristi!”
About: I have loved and lived with cats my entire life, at one point caring for four at the same time! Because of this, I believe I speak fluent cat. I’ve raised and cared for cats at every stage of life, from kittens to senior cats and sick ones, all with very different needs. I am also skilled at giving cats medication if they are receptive to it. Whether your kitty is super cuddly or spicy and needs their space, your babies are completely safe and understood with me. Beyond caring for your pets, I will be 100% respectful of your home. You can completely trust me to keep your space clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I treat your home and your pets with the utmost care and respect! As a student on summer break, I have an incredibly open and flexible schedule! I am completely free to watch over your pets, drop in for multiple visits throughout the day, or stay overnight to keep them company. Whether your cats love interactive play, brushing, and cuddles, or prefer to just chill from a distance, I meet them where they are. I keep water bowls fresh, clean the litter box daily, and strictly stick to their feeding schedules; which I know is especially crucial for older cats. I'm also completely fine with handling barf cleanup. To give you complete peace of mind, I will stay fully communicative, updating you throughout my visits and sending plenty of daily photo/video updates of your sweet babies.
About: At 19 I decided to become a dog groomer. Attended a grooming academy for 9 months part-time. Now going on 15 years Ive worked in Hostipal, salon and mobile settings. Clients have not only trusted me with giving them spa treatments, but have also allowed me into there homes to watch over there babies. I enjoy creating relationships with owners and their pets. I feel honored when trust is built over time and I get peep of excitement when pets see me. Working in the pet industry Ive learned and dealt with all types of pets. From senior to anxiety prone. I believe my calm demeanor allows me to build trust with nervous or anxious pets. I currently work part time so I have about 3 to 4 days that are open a week. The days are work are typically morning till early evening so I could possibly come by after a shift. I will follow your instructions on how and when your pets needs are met on a daily basis. If I am unsure, I will reach out and only when given your consent will I proceed.
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 10, including six Chihuahuas, a Pit Bull, and now a Border Collie and Australian Shepherd. I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and affection. What sets me apart is my lifelong hands on experience and genuine love for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time while completing my RBT certification, which gives me a flexible schedule and availability to take on pet-sitting opportunities. I’m looking to fill some of my extra hours by providing dependable, attentive care for pets. I’m available for overnight stays and can work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m responsible, reliable, and committed to making sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I provide patient, loving care while keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pet is used to.
“Demi was quick to respond and did an amazing job with both of my cats! Even my more skittish kitty came out for attention 😁 The updates she provided and photos were perfect, I will definitely reach out to Demi again for cat drop in visits.”
About: I've watched dogs for others for years, starting with my former dance instructor when I was a teenager to now and my client list has grown exponentially over the years through word of mouth. While most of the dogs I've cared for are seniors and have a special place in my heart, including my own now, I also love to care for those with more high energy and enjoy walking and playing. I make sure to communicate any issues that arise as soon as possible and accommodate to your pets needs as if they were my own. I currently work full-time, but can dedicate lots of love and attention to your pet whenever I'm off work or on my lunch break if it’s close by. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of food, rest, and exercise depending on yours and their needs. When pet sitting, I like to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I know having a new body around can be stressful, but I always manage to have pets feel comfortable and happy when I'm around. I also clean up after myself, to the point where you won't even know I was there, as well as your pet if there are any messes that need to be cleaned--bathroom accidents, vomit, etc, I've cleaned it all!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Pleasanton
We can’t say enough great things about Amy! Being away from home and our babies is always tough, but knowing they are being loved and cared for by such a great attentive person is such a wonderful reassuring feeling that our kitty’s will be happy, loved, fed and well cared for upon our return! Thank you Amy for being so great!!!
Maya was amazing! She took such great care of our fur baby when we were away. When I saw the photos and report I knew right away our cat was in good hands. She made sure he was loved and looked after and left the house clean. Anytime I go out of town, I plan on requesting Maya!
Performed great drop in visits for our two spoiled cats while we had a local trip. Also had last minute request to water some plants in the summer heat. House, cats, and plants were well taken care of during her visit and will use Alysson again in the future.
Sierra watched our 3 cats for two weeks, she is the best and it was such a relief while we were gone to have somebody we trusted watching and taking care of our cats. Sierra is friendly, professional, flexible, and was the best with our cats. Throughout the entire process, Sierra responded quickly to all of our messages and questions. For each visit we received great updates, and pictures of our cats. It was a relief to know that our cats were being taken care of by somebody who truly cared, and someone that we could trust! Our situation with our 3 cats was a lot of work with all the maintenance of the food, water and liter, along with our cat that has FIV and was injured and needed extra care and monitoring. On top of that, there were some last minute changes with our setup that Sierra handled easily too. We would absolutely book Sierra again, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive cat sitter!
We booked a sitter through Rover for the first time for a long time period and were a little nervous about leaving Missy alone, but Xiaoyu was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, she made sure Missy felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Xiaoyu followed all the instructions we discussed and truly went above and beyond to make sure Missy didn’t miss us. After just a few visits, it was clear that Missy looked forward to seeing her, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend Xiaoyu to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and caring sitter—and a true friend—for their fur baby. 🐾💛

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.

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 .

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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

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.
