“Merlette is reliable and punctual. She is very communicative and sends regular updates- and always has several cute photos of my dogs after each walk. Our family is very lucky to have her!”
“Nancy was great with our Gus. Although he is 8 years old, this was the first time he was home by himself for an extended period so we wanted to make sure he got lots of love and visits. Nancy sent us pictures and updates while we were gone. We could tell Gus enjoyed her visits and he was well taken care of.”
“Megan is, has been, and will always be an AWESOME cat sitter! We’ve booked with her multiple times and she has never disappointed. We have two extra shy kitties and she was willing to go the extra mile to make space for them and their needs. We’ve booked for both short and long term vacations, over two and a half weeks most recently! She’s always punctual and communicative, while possessing the knowledge and experience to work through any misunderstandings very quickly with you. Can’t recommend her enough to look after your furry family! 😻”
“Nicoletta is amazing. From the moment she came to meet our cats, the shy one came up to her immediately to rub his face against her hand! So rare for him to visit with people besides ourselves at all! I really appreciated that Nicoletta took extra care in all of the details. Larry needed his meds, Ben is a flight risk. She managed all of it with aplomb. I highly recommend Nicoletta for any of your pet sitting needs. She's communicative, friendly, loves your animals, and gives you confidence that she'll take care of your pet family while you're away from home. Six out of five stars for Nicoletta!”
“Joseph had great communication and is very good with dogs. Our three dogs are insane and he was very patient with them. He would often have surprised waiting for him when he would perform his visits (dogs destroying things while alone). He went above and beyond to make sure we didn't worry while we were gone and even brought in our trash cans without being asked to. We would gladly use Joseph again to watch our rowdy trio.”
“Isaiah did a great job checking in on my two cats over a long weekend! He was very communicative, reliable, and my cats seemed to warm up to him quickly! I will definitely plan to use Isaiah again in the future.”
“Vivian has dropped in a few times to let our dog out for a potty break and give her some attention and belly rubs. From the adorable photos Vivian sends, our Lucy clearly loves her drop in visits!”

About: I have worked at 2 dog facilities, The Meadows Canine Camp in Santa Rosa and I currently work at the Milo Foundation where I walk and adopt out dogs. I currently have a foster named Grayson (boxer) who is good with small dogs and I also own a small Maltese mix named Swiffer. I love animals and I am very qualified to take care of your pet while you are away. Cant wait to meet them! I work at the Milo Foundation in point Richmond. I normally work Tuesday-Saturday but we will soon be closed for renovations for the month of September. I will be very available to pet sitting and boarding as I will be working from home the entire month of September! While walking, your pets safety is my number one priority and I will make sure to walk in areas deemed appropriate by clients. Having dogs of my own, I understand the importance on keeping them safe when out. I also like to use a harnesses when walking to avoid a dogs collar slipping and possibility of getting loose.
About: Currently taking reservation for November and December!! Limited spots still available on calendar :) Hello! My name is Hosana and I am currently an undergraduate college student at UCSD. I have loved animals for as long as I could remember! Growing up in a smaller home, I was never able to own a dog of my own, but being obsessed with animals, I wouldn't let this stop me from being around them an gaining as much experience as I could by taking care of pets for friends and family throughout my life. Eventually I started working at a local doggy daycare/ pet boarding facility in Walnut Creek known as, North Main Pet Lodge. I have about a year's worth of experience working professionally with a multitude of different dog breeds and taking care of their daily needs. I've worked with both dogs and cats, and other small animals such as hamsters, rabbits, and such and know how to administer medication, bathe, feed, and do other tasks related to pet care. Staying flexible and knowing how to deal with all sorts of situations is something I have come to be very acquainted with through my work experience. Communication is of big importance to me and making sure all pet parents stay informed throughout their stay away from their pets. Currently I am working on my finishing my degree online and no longer need to attend classes on campus. Therefore I will be in the bay area permanently and am looking to work with those who need the occasional sitter. Have been actively sitting for my clients since 2025. Please feel free to contact me and help this college student out with your business, as I also look forward to spending time with your pets! Thanks for reading :) Currently taking online classes. Would be ideal for pet parents who want someone to be at the house often for daily routine, but also able to step away for up to 4 hrs at a time few days of the weekdays (usually Mon, Fri). Weekends I am almost always available all day. Almost always at home for morning, afternoon potty breaks, evening, overnight. When in a client's home, the pet's safety and health are my number one concern. With my experience, I have learned several tricks that help with a variety of temperaments and personalities that each dog has. I also believe in being respectful of my client's homes and will take that very seriously. Overall, any specific concerns or lists can be communicated to me and I will make sure to keep an open line of communication.
“Tamiko was wonderful this past wknd with my 2 furry guys!! She did 2 drop-in visits on both days and was great communicating with me about my two young cats, checking in and out, sending pics, playing with especially my youngest, etc. I am glad I found Tamiko, as she also lives very close by -- super convenient!! Thank you Tamiko 😻”
“Bonnie was great handling a pretty complex situation where our dog had health issues (never happened before). I trust Bonnie to handle hard situations and navigating the dogs' care with empathy”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Port Costa
Thea has been cat sitting for my family for 2-3 years on Rover, whenever we go out of town. When we come home, the cats are always perfectly taken care of, and just mildly annoyed and dramatic, as you’d expect cats to be :) Thea is always super responsive and we trust her completely in our home.
Linda was very gracious and flexible to help out when I made last-minute plans to my trip. She continued to send daily photos of my kitty Scooter during daily check-ins, which left me feeling relieved to see him getting some socialization. Loved the videos she sent of her petting and talking to him!
Telena has watched our shy kitty only twice, but has somehow managed to bring her out of her shell!! It normally takes our cat a long time before she warms up to people and she will usually just hide the whole time. But this time she came out and hung out with Telena which is so cool to see! Telena is super patient and kind with our cat, and very responsive while we’re out of town. I highly recommend her services !! Thanks Telena !!

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.

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 .
