“Melida is a thoughtful, caring, and responsible cat sitter. She was always on time and followed all my instructions very well. She took great care of my two cats and she was always very quick to respond to my messages. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Yesenia was perfect with my little guy, hanging out 2 hours with him. She was good at giving him space and did not rush any interaction. We are sad that we moved in a different area, otherwise she would be our go-to sitter.”
“Kiara did drop-in visits and dog walking for our two dogs for 7 days. We did a meet and greet prior to our trip and the dogs seemed immediately comfortable with her. She is very knowledgable and experienced with dogs. When we returned the dogs seemed happy and healthy and well taken care of. The house was in perfect condition also.”
“Nathalia, as before, took excellent care of Mikey and Sylvie. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to feel comfortable that their pets will receive the care that you would give them, yourselves.”
“Kathryn is a very reliable sitter who I can count on! My cat loves seeing her and was very well cared for during my time away. She and I hope to have Kathryn as a sitter again soon!”
About: Hi! My name is Camila. Ever since I was a little kid I’ve been caring for animals. From saving baby ducks without a mother, rescuing a handicap kitten, to even watching wild lizards hatch from their eggs - I’ve always been in awe of animals. I gained extensive experience during my Veterinary Assistant program in high school. While interning at an Animal Hospital, I learned how to administer medications, bathe dogs, comfort them, and keep their spaces clean. I also learned the importance of reading an animal’s body language and pay attention to their needs. I have been dog sitting/house sitting since 2015. I have cared for big fluffy dogs, small dogs, senior dogs, and plenty of cats. I know that every animal is unique and has different needs. I’ll adjust to your pets lifestyle and make sure they stick to their routine. My passion is for animals, and I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I’m currently available everyday. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and give them the attention they deserve! I currently offer dog walking services, drop in visits, and house sitting in your home. ** disclaimer** House sitting service is your fur babies staying in the comfort of their home, I do not stay overnight in your home. I get there as early as 7am and tend to their personal needs. However, for safety and privacy, I sleep in my bed and make my rounds in the morning. My dog and cat are my children. They sleep with me every night and have different beds for them to sleep in downstairs and upstairs. They each have a basket of toys and my cat even has a cat tower and a cat room where she can relax. If I would sit at a clients home, I would love to chat with you so that I can follow your pets routine. I do believe animals should roam free, so while they are with me, they will be receiving loads of cuddles and play time.
“We decided to go on a very last-minute trip, and Serena was so flexible and accommodating. Serena is so sweet, and Mia got along with her right away, although Mia can come off as a little rough at first. I am so happy with our experience overall 🩷 a million out of 10 🥰”

Melida is always my go-to when it comes to house drop ins! She originally came to do a house sitting for us about a year ago and came in and met my babies and took notes! Even a year later she still had the notes from the previous time! I feel 100% comfortable and at ease being out of town and knowing my babies are in good hands. Thank you so much Melida!
Gia was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. She was attentive, patient, and genuinely caring, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was incredibly helpful having someone so reliable and responsible to dog sit, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable with her. Gia kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dedicated dog sitter.
Lourdes was a phenomenal caretaker and went above and beyond for our Laika. She’s meticulous on instructions, communicates well, provides several photos everyday and takes her time to walk Laika. I strongly recommend her! You won’t regret it! We will definitely be using her services again.

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.

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 .
