“Danielle is truly amazing. She is so trustworthy and it’s so wonderful to trust that your pet is taken care of so well. She’s also extremely responsive and a great communicator.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly can’t imagine life without animals. I grew up on a cattle ranch surrounded by dogs and cats so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. From raising puppies to loving senior dogs through their golden years, I’ve experienced every stage and I cherish them all. I grew up with two Labradors and a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and I currently have an 8 yr old rescue Chiweenie from Mexico and a 13 yr old Goldendoodle. Caring for a senior dog has given me a deep understanding of patience, attentiveness, and gentle care. For the past 7 years, I’ve also volunteered with 2 local dog rescues which has given me extensive experience with all types of dogs including those who are reactive, anxious or strong leash pullers. I’m comfortable administering medication and always approach each dog with a calm and loving energy. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe and completely loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks and jogs, or prefers slow sniff filled strolls or cozy cuddle time at home, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are. I’m reliable, punctual, and communicative and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected and at ease. My goal is to become your go-to, trusted dog walker and someone your dog gets genuinely excited to see! I truly love dogs so much and I can’t wait to meet yours 🤍 I currently have a very flexible schedule which allows me to be fully present during my time with dog. I'm available weekday or weekend care. Safety and trust are everything to me. I take the time to learn your dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can care for them just like you would. On walks, I stay alert and mindful, with experience handling reactive or strong leash pullers, always prioritizing their safety. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and consistent while making sure water is full, feeding routines are followed, and medications are given if needed. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you feel at ease, knowing your dog is safe, happy, and truly cared for ◡̈
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your pet. I’m comfortable caring for everything from energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise and stimulation to senior pets who need a slower pace, extra patience, and attention. I also have experience administering medications and following specific feeding, medication, and care routines. I’m very active and spend much of my free time hiking, walking, and exploring outdoors, so I’m especially happy caring for dogs who love longer walks and plenty of activity. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my day. I’m available for morning, daytime, and evening walks or drop-ins, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests as well. Since I travel full-time, I spend several weeks at a time in each area and keep my Rover availability updated so you’ll always know when I’m local and available. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I’ll make sure everything is secure, clean, and comfortable before I leave. I also believe communication is a huge part of earning your trust. I’ll keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.
“Analisa was a great catsitter for my attention-loving Rocky. She spent a lot of time with him and kept me updated with messages and pictures. I would definitely book Analisa again.”

“I cannot recommend Brianna enough as a pet sitter! She took care of my cat, Henry, while I was away, and her attentiveness and care were truly outstanding. Brianna kept me updated with regular pictures and videos, which not only let me see how happy and well-cared-for Henry was but also gave me so much peace of mind. She clearly loves what she does and took the time to make Henry feel comfortable and cared for. Knowing I could trust her completely made my time away so much easier. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and dedicated, Brianna is absolutely the best choice. Thank you, Brianna, for going above and beyond!”

“Michelle was just great, showed up on time and sent pictures and messages when she was at the house. She was extra helpful and communicative. Came home to a happy cat. Thanks Michelle!”
About: I have long experience caring for cats and dogs. We have wall-mounted and solid wood cat trees, plus separate private quiet rooms for cats who feel nervous around other felines. For dogs, they get a minimum of three daily walks to the dog park on rain-free days. We offer premium bathing equipment with professional grooming supplies. Fresh food can be prepared for dogs with your approval. I will send daily video updates so you can check on your pet anytime. I am a student and available full-time every day, weekdays and weekends. I handle all pet care tasks, including dog walks, feeding and looking after cats. This minimizes unattended gaps and ensures consistent, proper care for your pets. I live in an apartment. I have a separate private room that works for shy pets or multiple pets. If I host a timid pet, this room will be reserved exclusively for them. Multiple pets can stay in this room if crates are provided. I have spare crates available if you do not bring your own. Crating is optional; I can skip crating based on your preference and your pet’s temperament. There is also an open area in my living room for dogs and cats. All cat trees and pet toys are accessible to pets at all times, and I will not keep them confined to a room constantly.
“Sofia did a great job of taking care of my two cats. She followed all of my instructions and even went beyond what I asked. She kept me updated and my cats looked perfectly happy in all the pictures she sent. Highly recommend.”

About: With extensive expertise in caring for a diverse range of animals, I boast years of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. My family and I have dedicated considerable time to fostering and rescuing cats, from the delicate art of bottle-feeding kittens to providing compassionate care for senior felines. From my early years, I've nurtured a passion for tending to fish and reptiles, a commitment that continues to this day with my beloved leopard gecko. Additionally, my profound understanding of canine needs spans from the intricacies of potty training young pups to the attentive care required by senior dogs. With a heart for animals and a wealth of practical knowledge, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care for your beloved pets. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. I have a German Shepherd who means the world to me, and I make sure to care for him every day with love and attention. With this experience, I’m confident I can provide excellent care for your pets too. I can provide attentive care for your pet by following any specific needs or instructions you have. Whether it's ensuring your pet has its own space, giving them the attention they require, or taking them on walks, I’m dedicated to keeping them happy and healthy. I always make sure to keep you updated on your pet’s activities, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority!

“Brooke was excellent! She took great care of our cats including giving insulin injections to our stubborn diabetic one! We look forward to having her care for our cats again!”
“Paz was amazing! She took care of everything, that I asked her to do. Sent pictures during the visits. And my cat wasn’t meowing much after leaving him for 4 days, which is a huge win. Very happy with the results.”

About: I have a deep love for animals and have since I was a baby. I have fostered dogs and cats, interned at an animal hospital, done charity work for animal organizations and nonprofits. I have cared for all ages and all animals. I was raised on a ranch where we always had to care for the animals! I also work with (marine) animals on my part time job. I have a part time job on Saturday and Sunday which leaves me with a lot of time to care for your animals and give them all the love they need! I have fostered, pet sitted, and interned at an animal hospital. Animals are a part of our family and they love us so much I would love to give that love to your sweet pets while your away.

About: Farm raised girl with snow white syndrome. I was a house and pet sitter for 2 vets in the San Francisco area, and I've recently relocated back home to San Diego. I specifically love sitting because it allows accept gig work in computer science. My only animal currently is a special needs geriatric cat that I've adopted, and she has her own room separate from visiting animals. As a former chef with holistic health background, I am capable of providing custom specialty diets for additional fees. I am happy to engage with pets in active training, mental play, and running. I am comfortable with infant animals and special needs animals. Anything I haven't seen before on special needs, I am happy to learn. Absolutely obsessed with brachycephalic dogs (where are my bullies at?!), and working dogs that often don't receive enough stimulation in their lifestyle (cattle dogs, I'm looking at you!). Geriatric cats and dogs are my soft spot. I currently work weekends only while changing my career industry, so I have M-F free! I am able to include runs in sitting care, but they need to be scheduled during temperate morning and evening times (this is for your dog's comfort as well.) I have a fenced yard and a medium-sized standard home crate. I am happy to sit at others homes- if the location is not close enough for morning/evening stops or requires a companion overnight, I request a cleaned area for my floor mat as I do not use western beds. This means houses with active pest issues such as cockroaches or spiders that may pose a health risk to me sleeping on the floor (if overnight required) will be rejected on site and any dispute will be referred to arbitration via Rover.
About: I have worked in a number of rescue facilities as well as loved 2 rescue dogs and a number of rescue cats myself. I am also currently an online teacher so I am available for whatever hours needed throughout days or evenings. My schedule is super adaptable for your needs and I am very communicative throughout the entire experience. I currently work online so I can be anywhere at any time for meeting pet care needs. I am hoping to fill my schedule and help out as much as possible. I offer in client's home care for pets by scheduling one day prior typically and arriving early to get set up or shown the routines. Care will vary based on what client's specific needs are, but I like to communicate, and operate above and beyond what client's expectations are. I know how I would want my furry kiddos treated so I won't treat yours with any less love or care.
“Crystal continues to do great work with our doggie crew! She does great work and can handle tricky situations!! So glad we found her for all of our trips.”

“Kierra did an amazing job caring for our three kitties and home during our trip. She was incredibly communicative and went above and beyond to ensure everything was well taken care. I felt very comfortable knowing our pets and home were in such capable hands. I highly recommend Kierra to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
