“Did a great job feeding and letting my three medium sized dogs out. Messaged me about finding a gutted toy and cleaned it up for me. She was on time each time for the sittings and even stayed a few minutes over an hour to make sure everything was completed!”
“Samantha was great with my cat, Kitty. She went above and beyond and kept me updated with pictures and video. I highly recommend her, and I could tell right away she was an animal lover and had my cat's best interest in mind. Thank you so much Samantha!”

About: I’m always the dog sitter for my family whenever they need me and my closest friends. Dogs tend to always trust me, I get along with all animals because I respect their space! I have an older dog who loves to cuddle but when he wants his space I give it to him and I can tell all the signs saying he needs space! I don’t have professional experience but I’ve been dog sitting for my loved ones for a couple of years now. I am currently unemployed and will start school in the fall so I have a very open schedule looking for as much work as I can. I always like to bond with the dogs I dog sit and get them to trust me. I always do what the owner, asks of me!

About: I have cared for pets specifically Pit bulls since I was 8. Over the span of 12 years I have cared for seven Pit bulls; Also known as American terriers. I specifically highlight I have cared for pit bulls because I know people and society tend to shy away from this breed and attach a negative perception. I am more than willing to care for your pit and can handle just about everything. I have cared for super active, young pups to the senior dog who sleeps all day. I have also learned how to train and teach them how to sit, stay, hand commands and potty train. My dogs have since passed away and I no longer own any dogs. I learned so much about Pit bulls and of course dog needs that have helped me in other areas of my life both professionally and personally. I absolutely adore them and all breeds and will be super enthused to care for your pet and their needs! I am mostly available to care for your pet during the weekends but I am also available early in the morning, evening and night during the weekdays. I attend university so I am mostly home if I am not at school. I live in a quiet neighborhood. Also, if your dog were to stay at my home there is plenty of room for play and rest in my large backyard!
About: I treat your fur baby like my own, with love and care. I’m experienced in administering medication, caring for senior pets, and ensuring they get daily exercise and plenty of fun! You can also count on me for regular updates with lots of videos and photos. Pet care is my full-time job, so your furry friends have my undivided attention! With no kids to care for I’m able to give all my time and energy to providing the best care, playtime, and cuddles your pet deserves. I like to schedule a meet and greet before caring for your pets. This allows us to get to know each other, and it helps me understand your pet routine and preferences. Once we’re all set, I’ll come to your home to provide personalized care, whether it’s feeding, play time, or cuddles, ensuring your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Afton! I provide one-on-one care by accepting only one family’s pets at a time! I have a very quiet home, perfect for new guests! I have found that hosting one family’s pets at a time leaves me with more time to spoil and help your pets settle in! I love gaining new experience in pet care, I have watched newborn puppies, kittens, and even ducks! I have a senior pug, he has been with me since I started kindergarten! I absolutely adore senior dogs due to my experience with him, they hold a special place in my heart. My background also includes time at the Riverside Animal Shelter, where I trained dogs and made sure they were well-socialized, and ready to be adopted. Along with this, I have also volunteered at the Hidden Valley Nature Center! Mainly taking care of the animals and helping to maintain their habitats. I am a college student, working towards a masters degree! Working for Rover allows me to go to school and also work from home! I always enjoy having a pet by my side, as I like to stay busy throughout the day. I take walks in the mornings and evenings, I would love for your pet to come with me! My neighborhood is very hilly if dogs need to let out energy! Regular bathroom breaks and additional walks are always part of our routine to keep them active and content. My goal is to make sure each dog feels loved, safe, and well cared for. I will provide a lot of enrichment activities to keep them occupied, puzzle toys are always a favorite.

“Angel was amazing! She was perfect with my two cats and tools lots of pictures for me! She is so communicative and I really appreciated that as well! I would definitely rebook her!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, so taking care of them feels completely natural. I have experience with cats of all personalities and dogs of all sizes, and I currently have two cats and a puppy, so I’m familiar with daily routines, walks, feeding, basic meds, and giving each pet the attention they need. I pay close attention to behavior and energy, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I really enjoy spending time with animals and treating every pet like they’re my own. I work during the week, but can do early morning or evening visits as needed. I’m reliable and do my best to stick to your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. Happy to coordinate timing to make sure they get the attention they need. I care for pets by sticking closely to their usual routines and making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: I have a deep love and respect for every pet I care for. I adopted a sick puppy, and through patience and nurturing, he has blossomed into a beloved member of my family. This experience has taught me the profound bond that can develop between a pet and their caregiver, highlighting the importance of kindness and understanding in every interaction. I’ve also gained experience by showing care and compassion to animals in need around me, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Each animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for them all. My commitment to treating every pet with compassion ensures they feel loved and secure while in my care. I work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to integrate pet care into my daily routine seamlessly. This allows me plenty of time to spend with furry friends, playing, cuddling, and ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. My schedule enables me to provide a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring that every pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all else. I follow their food schedule diligently to ensure they maintain a healthy routine. Engaging with pets through playtime and interactive activities is essential, as it keeps them stimulated and happy. Since I do not have pets of my own, I can provide a safe and distraction-free environment for them. Living in an apartment allows me to easily take them for walks outside in green areas, where they can explore and enjoy some fresh air. If needed, I can safely crate pets to provide them with a secure space to relax. My home is a welcoming environment filled with love and attention, ensuring every pet feels safe and at ease. Building trust is key, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs, creating a positive experience for both them and their owners.

I’m currently working part time as I am a third year college student who’s major is fine and applied arts and goes to school currently but can take care of your pets anytime of the day all week including weekends and holidays. I care for them by having a feeding schedule for them, cleaning up after them, bathing them, taking them on walks and just playing with them through out the day.
About: I have experience with pups with medical needs (my dog has an autoimmune disease). I enjoy walking, playing, and interactions with dogs of all sizes.

I can feed on routine, and clean up any accidental messes. I can dog sit if needed, I live on 140 Acres and walk it often with my babies.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
Paris is our favorite cat sitter. She's keeps us updated with the most amazing photos! She's soo quick to respond and we feel at ease knowing our cats are happy in her care 💕 She even made them the cutest little catnip toys on her previous visit and they are soo obsessed. 10/10 would recommend.
Kathrine took great care of our kitties while we were gone for a 10 day trip. She visited them twice a day to do basic care but went above and beyond to keep them entertained and happy. She also combed them for fleas when a couple were discovered on them to keep them comfortable. Would definitely use her again and recommend her to any pet owner 😊

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. 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.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
