“I am always a little hesitant to have new people watch our pups but this time I decided to try rover and I am so happy that we did. We did a meet and greet with Nikki and she was absolutely wonderful. Our dog Bob immediately wanted belly scratches from her and Roxy, our blind, senior dog who normally shakes when she hears new voices, was completely calm. She got to our home just right on time and gave us a lot of updates while we were away. She took our dogs out for a potty and she texted me pictures of Bob and Roxy throughout the night which I really appreciate. I already have her booked for another date and I’m so happy we met Nikki. Thank you for taking care of our pups.”
“This was my first time leaving my cat alone for the weekend and I couldn’t have been more happy with Rachel! She was super kind, thorough, and communicative with me. I will definitely be using Rachel again in the future when needed!”
“Thank you again Avery. You are Ellie’s new Bestie. I think we have some topical in the kitchen. Weird that she’s an indoor cat. Wetter neighborhood than the East County. Going to check your March and April calendar. See you soon.”
“Amanda is awesome! She is kind and genuinely loves animals. She was reliable, prompt and sent me daily pictures of my very shy cat Alice. She was also kind enough to place some flowers I received in water so that they wouldn’t die. Definitely would have her watch Alice again!”
“Elizabeth helped with drop in visits while we were out of town. She took such good care of my girls, sent lots of photos and gave them so much love! Will definitely book with Elizabeth again in the future :)”
About: Hi, I’m Alyssa! Animals have always been a big part of my life. From an early age, I’ve cared for family pets and helped friends with everything from daily walks to overnight stays. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, cuddles, or simply keeping a routine, I provide reliable and loving care that makes pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every animal as if they were my own—because I know they’re family. I would love to take dogs on walks in during the early morning hours or in the evening. I’m available to stop by and do check-ins during the day as well! 🐾 Care Elements I Prioritize Routine Consistency — following your feeding, walking, and training habits to reduce stress. Safety & Supervision — secure environments, monitored play, and awareness of household hazards. Cleanliness — tidy spaces, fresh water, clean bowls, and regular waste removal. Enrichment — mental stimulation, sniff walks, puzzle toys, and interactive games. Comfort — cozy rest areas, gentle attention, and calm companionship.
“Always feel great and like my babies are in reliable hands with Bradey! She does such a great job loving on them, feeding them, giving them treats and pets. Thank you, again! They love you!”
“Erica is wonderful! She takes care of our dog, cats, and turtle when we are out of town and they all love her. After the visit, Erica always writes how the visit went, how our small zoo is doing and sends pictures of everyone. :) They all love getting pets and cuddles from Erica when she visits!”
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience as a devoted dog mom, I bring genuine love and reliable expertise to every pet in my care. My experience spans small and large breeds, as well as puppies, adult dogs, and seniors — so I'm comfortable adapting my care to each pet's unique needs and energy level. Beyond my own dogs, I've cared for pets belonging to family and friends, which has given me a broad range of experience with different temperaments, routines, and personalities. At the heart of it all, I believe fur babies are family. I treat every pet with the same patience, attention, and love I'd want for my own — because that's exactly what they deserve. I have a flexible work schedule on Fridays and I’m pretty open on weekends. I may be able to do drop ins during the week in the evenings as long as they align with my work schedule. I will follow your care instructions as detailed to ensure you feel comfortable trusting me to care for your fur baby and ensure they are happy and cared for.
“Kylie did a great job taking care of my 2 cats. Sweet, punctual, responsive and overall easy to communicate/work with. I will not hesitate to reach out to her again when I need someone to care for my orange boys.”
“Shahla was incredible! She watched my cat and rabbit for about a week and sent me constant pictures, videos, and updates. I only expected her to clean the litter box and feed them, but by day 2, she was playing with them and giving them love. I was surprised because both animals are very shy to new people, but they must have sensed her natural instinct and warmed up to her immediately. I’m so grateful for her and will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve had a dog since age 10 (now a sweet old boy!) and have fostered puppies! From shy and snuggly to playful and curious - I’ve met them all! Student at UH studying botany in my last year! Pretty flexible and looking to spend time with the pups of the island - originally from California with a good boy at home - I’m looking to cure some homesickness with your doggy! At home, my dog enjoys a fenced yard with plenty of sunshine for his sunning and naps with my cat (supervised of course) and both animals have free reign of the house. In your home all rules placed for your pets will be respected and any accidents cleaned before you can say “woof”!
About: I love dogs and cats all ages and sizes. I treat them as my own and take care of all their needs. I see all pets as family members. I’ll be happy to take them for long walks and I live close to a dog park!! Each one pet deserves individual attention. I will play, clean and walk them because they deserve the best. Please ask questions and let me know if your friend has special likes and needs. I am more than happy to provide extra services as long as time permits. I really appreciate advance notice from you. I have two cats at home. Your pets are welcome to stay at my place if you feel they will be comfortable. I look forward meeting your best pal! 😃Thank you. I am available full time for dog walking/dog and cat boarding. Flexible schedule for your needs. I love exercise so I want the same for your sweet dogs. I have a fenced yard to keep pets safe. They can play while I watch them. I love to play catch and keep them active.
About: Hi, I’m Katelyn! I’m a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) with 10+ years of experience in veterinary medicine and leadership. My services include drop-in visits, medication administration (oral, topical, and injectable), nail trims, basic pet care support, and monitoring pets with special medical needs.

At this time, I am focusing on drop-in care and veterinary support services rather than pet sitting or dog walking.

“Stephanie is a caring and trustworthy professional that I feel fortunate to have watch my dog Kona. Stephanie communicates clearly everything that’s happening every day, and that really eases any worries. I believe Kona enjoys her time with Stephanie (and her well-adjusted Chihuahua Olive) as a fun special time with friends.”
“Ashley is the most loving, and accommodating sitter I could ever ask for. She took care of our cat every day for almost three weeks. She was very kind to buy cat treats and toys on top of the routine tasks, our cat loves her!”
About: My name is Lauren I live in Trabuco Canyon, Ca. I love all animals and I have had 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a bunny in my life. I have grown up with many types of animals and all types of dogs big and small and very comfortable with either. My fur babies are my life and i will treat your fur babies as I would my own. I also worked at a vet office for many years so I have a lot of experience with all different breeds. And I am very comfortable administrating meditations to sick pups. I am a responsible animal owner who always has the best interest in mind for the pet, and make it a priority that the pet is safe and happy at all times. I do work full time as dental assistant during the week! But have a lot of free time on the weekends to do drop in or walks! My personal pets are my world and my life revolves around them. I incorporate the same love and attention to all pets and animals I care for.

As always, Aarthi was super professional and took great care of our baby. She's amazing communicating everything and following new or updated instructions, and she's always very affectionate with our cat. We are very happy knowing our baby is in good hands whenever we have to travel
Maggie was fantastic! We did a meet & greet and knew my cats would be in good hands with her right away! She was attentive and reliable throughout the whole sitting process and sent daily updates and photos for after every visit 😊 Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a sitter in the area!
My cats were well taken care of by Mya. As they are my babies, I would only have someone take care of them who would make sure to follow the feed/ water directions thoroughly, give them love and attention, as well as clean the litter thoroughly every visit. I plan on using her for house sitting through Rover in March with my shepherd included in the bargain.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
