About: Hi I'm Jeanette. I've owned and cared for animals my entire life. I've taken care of many animals for friends and family over the years. I've owned many different kinds of animals from dogs and cats to birds, reptiles and everything in between. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats that keep me busy. I've work with animals for the past 18 years. I worked at a vet clinic where I got to take care of many different types of animals. I've also been a dog groomer for the last 18 years. I've worked at a doggy daycare where I got to take care of senior pets and administer medication when needed. Making your fur babies comfortable and happy while your away is what I do best. If they are happy then I'm happy. Hope to hear from you soon. I'm currently not working at the moment so my schedule is pretty open to anything right now. Let me know what dates and times you need me and we can definitely work something out. I'll make sure your pet stays safe while in my care. I will keep a close eye on your pet if they have special need or are a senior pet. While in there own environment I'll make sure they are very comfortable. Throwing a ball or giving a treat, it's the little things while your away.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, so I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own. I’m a college student who works part-time, and pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule. I’m available Wednesday through Sunday and make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and sticking to your dog’s routine are something I genuinely look forward to. I care for pets by keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. In my clients’ homes, I follow feeding schedules, provide walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, and make sure your pet feels secure while you’re away. I also keep the space clean and send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I grew up with not just dogs and cats but birds and lizards, I’ve always loved being around animals and learning their personalities and what they like. I truly believe all animals deserve the same love and care as any loved one. I look forward to meeting your furry babies! I am currently unemployed as I just moved so I am free anytime that you may need someone! I also can do last minute request most the time At the moment I am in an apartment with cats so I don’t have space or a yard to watch dogs in my own home for now, but in your home I respect your space and your animals. I follow every direction given and always do exactly what’s expected. I take dogs on multiple walks during the day and always let them get their energy out by playing. I grew up with many brothers so I have a lot of energy to give right back! I can also do some cleaning while dog sitting like dishes, counter wipe offs ect.
“I had Courtney stop by for a drop in today, as we had a long day away. My plans changed a little and Courtney was able to come earlier than planned, which helped out a lot. Lily and Elaine were happy to see her, of course Lily still barked a bit in the beginning but it didn’t last long, which is really good for the 2nd visit. Courtney was able to get her outside for a break and a little walk. She checked everything I asked to check, it’s really nice to have her so we don’t have to worry when we need to be away.”
About: I have three dogs and three cats and take care of them frequently. I have dog sat several breeds and sizes for friends and family and have so much fun! I spend most my day with my animals. Playing, running, and cuddling. I adore animals more the people most the time. It involves feeding, walking, and giving baths. I always carry something to protect both me and the animals on walks. I bring treats and ropes to play with on drop ins and bring my cuddly self to lay with them for a few.
About: My name is Jessica! I am 21 years old and I am originally from Brentwood, California. I just graduated last week from College and I have officially moved into my first apartment here in Redding. I am looking for clients that I can gain their trust to watch their animals in Redding. In high school I had a couple families back home that I was always on their list to watch their animals and I would love to be on your list as well. I have my own car and I am willing to take your animals on walks and to outdoors areas to play if you would like. I have a huge love for all animals but unfortunately I can't have any animals in my apartment so this will be perfect to get my animal fix for the weekend. I am very reliable, organized, and trustworthy. I would love to help you and your family out! Thank you for your time. Pet care fits into my daily routine by going home during my breaks at work to let animals out. Weekends are a huge part in taking care of animals for people when they go on vacation. I plan on taking care of the animals any way the owners do like in their own home. I will play with them and keep them active.
About: my lifelong passion for dogs, enriched by years of experience growing up with them. I have trained young pups/adults providing good energy and environment for the pups. I offer specialized care for both playful puppies and gentle seniors, ensuring each dog gets the attention and care they deserve. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work from 8am–5pm, so I’m available for morning and evening care during the week and have full availability on weekends. I care for pets by following their routine and specific instructions closely. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have clean litter boxes, fresh water, playtime, and a calm, comfortable environment.

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.
