“Victoria was amazing with our cat! She was prompt and came at the same time everyday to feed and play with our girl. I got tons of videos/photos, along with very detailed notes about how she was and how the visits went. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and encourage you to reach out to her for your fur babies! Thank you so so much again for everything!”
“Elizabeth was wonderful! She took such great care of our sweet kitty. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Murphy was being so well cared for. I’m now a loyal fan of Rover & will always ask for Elizabeth to look after our pets.”
“We were fortunate to have Trinity come to our house each morning for almost 3 weeks to care for our two cats. It was best to keep the cats at home and comfortable in their routines rather than traveling to a facility. Trinity checked in each morning and sent pics to me from each visit and that helped put me at ease. All went well and when we travel again, I wouldn’t hesitate to contact River and ask for Trinity again. Thanks Trinity!”
About: I’ve had about 13 dogs of different breeds in my lifetime and two cats. Every animal that I’ve had in my life still carry on in my heart. I love and appreciate animals for their never ending love for us humans. Rest assured that I was responsible for all of my pets and made sure to attend to their needs in a safe manner, so my experience can be valuable when it comes to caring for other pets. I’m able to work any day of the week as long as it’s 8-3pm. I’m just not available around 4-6, but I am able to care for them in my home if necessary. We have a screen door and our parking lot is gated, so there is no way for them to get through. There is also a park nearby that is great for walking.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion and extensive, hands-on experience caring for a diverse range of species.

My multi-species experience includes:Mammals: Dogs, cats, chinchillas, rabbits, gerbils, and mice.Reptiles & Amphibians: Bearded dragons, geckos, anoles, and snakes.Birds: Pigeons and finches.Invertebrates & Aquatic Life: Tarantulas, scorpions, roaches, hermit crabs, and freshwater fish.As a dedicated multi-species pet parent, I cannot imagine life without animals. I view the unique dietary, environmental, or medical needs of exotic pets and traditional companions alike as a privilege to accommodate, never a hindrance. 🐾 Introductory Rate Note: I am brand new to the Rover platform but have over 20 years of personal animal care experience!

“Andrea is my go to sitter when I need help with my 2 pups when I'm not around. It's hard to find people you can trust so it's puts my mind at ease knowing Andrea will show up and love on them.”
“This is our second time with Kaitlyn. She watched our puppy last time and this time she watched our cats while we were out of town. She sent us updates everyday with lots of photos. She is very reliable and took great care of our cats. Thank you Kaitlyn!”
About: I have fostered countless kitties through the years between a few weeks old to sweet senior babies. I also volunteer at the cat shelter for four hours a week I am a full time student and have a full-time job so I will unfortunately not be able to spend all 24 hours in a day with your pet, however I will dedicate my free time solely to them. I am typically free about 16-18 hours of the day and that time will be focused on your pet alone! I am perfectly able to stay at your house for as long as you may need. I can cater to the needs of your pet. Whether they need an oral medication, are skittish, or are just your typical loving pet—I’ve got you covered!
“I am very happy with my experience with Loren! She was professional and friendly. I felt 100% confident leaving my cat in her hands. I loved the daily photos! I will definitely rebook with Loren!”
“Shelby was really great with our cats. Responsible, on time, and able to handle obstacles along the way! This was our first time using Rover and she made the process very easy for us. Would use and recommend her to anyone!”
“This is the first time I used Rover. We were very last moment and Sabrina was awesome. I have 3 cats with one needing insulin twice daily. Everything went perfectly. She worked with us to time the medication and feeding schedule. She was able to get my 2 skittish kitties to play with her and not run and hide as they usually do. I would definitely recommend her and will try to rebook her in the future.”
“Amber took excellent care of our senior cat. Rusty needs daily injections and Amber was able to give him this medication without any stress to him. I would recommend Amber without hesitation and will rebook in future.”

“Alexis is the absolute best. I LOVE looking at the photos and how happy Carter is during the visit. He adores her and all the time spent cleaning & playing & feeding him is so appreciated.”
About: Being raised in the rural parts of El Cajon, with my mom being apart of the AKC- American Kennel Club, I spent a lot of time around animals. Learning at a young age how to properly interact with dogs. I have walked up to three small dogs at the same time that belonged to my land-lord of 5 years. Even though these three dogs were considered aggressive toward other people, they loved and trusted me and I loved them back. I enjoy being around small animals and spending quality time with them. I am retired from the County of San Diego where I worked for 16 years. I am very flexible, reliable and punctual. I am looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies.

Rubie did a wonderful job taking care of my boys while I was away. She made sure they were fed every day, kept the litter box clean, and spent time playing with them so they stayed happy. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. I will absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.
Victoria was amazing with our cat! She was prompt and came at the same time everyday to feed and play with our girl. I got tons of videos/photos, along with very detailed notes about how she was and how the visits went. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and encourage you to reach out to her for your fur babies! Thank you so so much again for everything!
Shelby and Dalton were amazing! They did an initial meet and great with our cat prior to the scheduled drop in visits. They were thorough during the visits and were very good sports when our cat was being feisty. They even brought out/in our trash bins when asked. Would definitely recommend.

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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , 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 Meet & Greet .
