“Julie is amazing! She offered a meet and greet which made me feel that much more comfortable. She sent me sweet photos and a detailed report and of all that happened during her drop in. Our cats warmed up to her during her quick stay! We would definitely book with her again!”
“McKenna went above and beyond to make sure my worried cat dad mind was at ease. She was extremely professional, showed up on time every day and followed my instructions diligently. I would highly recommend her services!”
“Such a blessing to have Matthew watch over our fur babies! He was attentive, responsive and dedicated to keeping our babies safe and secure during our vacation. Daily updates and fast responses, even though we were halfway around the globe. He adapted to a problem while we were gone, and resolved it for us without complaint. If you’re thinking about him, don’t think twice, just book!”
“Hands down the best experience so far with Rover. Victoria was exceptional. She was recommended to me and let this be my recommendation to anyone desiring drop-in visits. Her updates were thorough and detailed. Even the pictures had captions added to make it fun and informative. The love and care she had for our dogs and respect for us and our home was evident.”
“Such a relief finding Jessica! My husband and I recently moved to the Valley and have been looking to find reliable options when we go out of town to babysit our 2 cute young cats. We don’t have human babies so these are truly our babies! I immediately felt comfortable with Jessica and I could tell our girls were comfortable too. Our home was left tidy and I’m sure Mavis and Margaux appreciated having a loving sitter while we were gone. Looking forward to booking again ?”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with a B.S. in Animal Science, veterinary clinic experience, and a variety of work history with animals spanning 5+ years. My greatest accomplishment may be personal though: training and caring for our family dog. I have spent a lifetime loving and learning about animals, and I promise to provide the utmost care for your beloved pet. I'm currently between jobs due to a career change so my schedule is flexible and caring for your pet will be my top priority. I treat client's homes with the same respect I treat my own home. My house is not available for pet sitting unless hypoallergenic breed.
“Henny is such a wonderful and reliable sitter for our beloved Cat! She helped us same day when our house burned down in the Palisades Fire. She is what every family needs. Like Mary Poppins for your Fur Baby. Thank you Henny!”
About: I’ve always had a dog. I have had dogs of all ages and sizes. I have a few years experience with pet sitting in the owners home. I am currently available at any time and day of the week to take your pet on a walk, play with them, give them pets and cuddle. I have a fenced yard for my 6 year old dog. I take her on daily walks. I am able to crate dogs if needed.
“Amazing experience! Melanie was able to accommodate my request at the last minute, which I really appreciated. She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my pet during the drop-in. I also really appreciated that she was open to doing a trial visit first, since I’m looking for someone I can trust for longer-term house sitting in the future. Everything went smoothly, and I felt very comfortable with her care. I’d definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”
“Very satisfied with Shayna! She is dependable, and very loving! When we came home from our trip our kitty was happy! This means he was well taken care of! I would use Shayna again...Thank you Shayna!”
About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years, and it's genuinely one of my favorite things to do. In that time, I've looked after just about every kind of animal you can think of — dogs and cats of all ages, puppies, seniors, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and more. The only ones I haven't worked with are horses! I'm comfortable with medication administration (pills, liquids, eye drops, injections), special needs care, and adapting routines for pets who need a little extra patience. I've cared for rescue dogs still learning to trust people, helped a senior dog through a UTI by spotting the symptoms early and coordinating with the owner, and stayed calm when a dog in my care was unexpectedly attacked by another dog on a walk — I got him to the vet quickly and he made a full recovery. I don't have pets of my own right now, but on most days I'm out walking, feeding, or hanging out with someone else's. Your pet will get attentive care, plenty of affection, and an honest set of eyes on how they're doing day to day. If you need your dogs walked Monday through Friday, I will gladly try to accommodate my schedule for you. Happy to help on the weekends if I can! I do my best to make your pets feel comfortable with me and treat them with kindness. I believe in being patient with the pets I look after.
About: I’ve always loved animals my whole life and grew up taking care of cats and dogs. I’ve pet sat for family and friends many a times. I’m very good a training puppies as well as caring for older pets. These last couple of years i’ve pet sat a lot more and have gained a good amount of experience! 🤍 I’m currently working part-time as well as being a full time college student but I will have plenty of time to drop in and make sure your pets are doing well! I can work around my work and school schedule to drop in before and after if need be. I want to make sure your pets feel comfortable and safe in their own home so i’ll be sure to stay with their normal routine. I’m very patient and equipped to handle different medication or special routines. I understand that it can be scary leaving your pets in someone else’s hands but I want to reassure you that you can count on me to make sure that your pets are being cared for properly. I respect your home and their space and will keep you updated with how your pets are doing after each visit. I want your mind to be at ease while you’re away and your pets to be safe and happy!
“Angelica was AMAZING. So accommodating to my schedule, and was incredibly sweet with my 2 cats, one of which has special needs and behaviors, so it was very meaningful to me! Absolutely revommend 💕💕💕💕”
“Katie was amazing! She was so engaging with my cat, Dexter. The photos and daily comments showed how much she cared and related to Dexter. That made me feel so at ease, knowing that he was in such good hands. I will definitely book Katie again - it’s a 5 star review!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes since I was a young girl, and animals have always been a natural part of my life. I’ve rescued dogs throughout my adulthood and loved every breed, personality, and quirky soul that’s come my way. Even cats — despite my allergies — tend to walk right up to me, which always makes me smile. I’ll still care for them with love (and a little help from allergy meds). I’m an empath with a deep, intuitive connection to animals. Nervous, shy, senior, or sensitive pets usually relax around me quickly. I read their body language, respect their boundaries, and create a calm, predictable environment where they feel safe and understood. I also bring professional caregiving skills to my pet care. As a retired massage therapist and longtime caregiver, I can offer gentle pet massage, calming touch, and support for aging, compassionate end of life care and support or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable providing wound care, administering medications, and injections for diabetic animal when needed. What truly sets me apart is the combination of lifelong love of animals, my experience, intuition, and genuine compassion. Your pet will be cared for with patience, warmth, and the same steady presence I’ve brought to every animal I’ve loved. When I am caring for your loved one I commit to your Pet only. No other side jobs. No leaving to walk or feed another animal. I serve one family at a time whether that is 1 pet or 3 or more Your family is my priority always. I create a calm, predictable environment where pets feel safe, understood, and cared for in my Home or Yours. I will respect your home, your space, your privacy and the trust you placed in me.
About: With over 11 years of hands-on cat care experience, I bring a depth of understanding that goes far beyond basic sitting. My background includes working with animal shelters, caring for energetic kittens, supporting senior cats with special routines, and raising my own three cats, each with their own unique needs and personalities. This range has taught me how to read feline behavior, adapt quickly, and provide calm, confident care in any situation. I’m especially attentive to routine, cleanliness, and emotional comfort. Whether a cat needs gentle patience, playful engagement, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to what helps them feel safest and most at ease. I treat every cat as an individual—not a checklist—and my goal is always for pet parents to feel complete peace of mind knowing their cat is in experienced, compassionate hands. I’m a full-time pet sitter, which means your cats receive my full attention—not rushed visits squeezed around another job. My flexible schedule allows me to spend quality time with your pets, closely monitor their needs, and adjust care as needed to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I strive to maintain a peaceful, secure environment in your home so your pets feel comfortable and stress-free. From following routines to keeping your space tidy and secure, safety and trust are always my top priorities.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We can’t thank Holly enough for stepping in at the last minute to take care of our pets! She was incredibly understanding and accommodating with our sudden trip, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. We really appreciated how attentive she was to all of our pets’ needs and how she kept us updated with messages and photos—it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Everything was perfectly handled, and our pets were clearly happy and well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter!

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.

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 Meet & Greet .
