“Emily was absolutely wonderful! So caring to our pup and so thoughtful to us, sending pictures unprompted (such a lovely surprise to get throughout the day!) and really giving him the love we couldn’t while we were gone. I’d highly recommend Emily to anyone needing someone to care for their dog, she was fantastic :)”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Jack while we were away on a European vacation! He did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our two Maltese dogs, saltwater fish & freshwater aquariums. The pups responded to him quickly, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were so far away. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending us pictures and videos of the dogs every day. It was so reassuring and special to see them happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care he gave our pups and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We will definitely be asking him to watch our dogs again!”
“Kat is nothing short of AMAZING!!! My Little pup is super hesitant around new people but he took to her right away. She was also super helpful when we had an issue with our flight. This is my first Rover”
“Trixie was so excited to hang out with Kayana from day one. Kayana was really respectful of my apartment and really went above and beyond for my girls. They sent me pics regularly and even obliged when I needed more after a particularly difficult day. :) My girls and I loved Kayana and look forward to hanging out with them again!”
“My pup was so well cared for! My girl is a rescue healing from an injury, and she can get nervous with sitters. But they were best buds after just one night! I received updates so I wasn’t worried, and it was a huge relief to find someone who knew exactly how to accommodate my dog’s needs. Would absolutely book again!”
“Andrea kept our little pooch happy, fed, and played with for the 3 nights she stayed at our place. On top of that, she kept everything clean and took great care of the house. We and Stanford thank you!”
“Christopher looked after our kids for 9 days and my old Great Dane just fell in love !! The young ones kept him quite busy and he diligently took care of each with a warm heart and lots of love hugs and kisses to all the fur babies . Absolutely fantastic to know you can rely on such a competent and friendly dog sitter like him. Got home today and my kids was over the moon .. Definitely a 5👌🏼in our books ..”
“When you find someone that calms your nervous system when it comes to taking care of your pet, that you love dearly, that’s a really good feeling. Syd has given me that from the start. Competence is comforting. So happy she’s been able to step in and take care of my dog, Piggie. She’s been great keeping me advised of things going around my house, I have projects happening while I’m gone at work, and sending me a bunch of pictures of Piggie as well. So if that’s what you’re needing, it is a excellent choice”
“Forest has a great energy for animals - my dog Badger seemed to like them right away during the meet & greet. Forest asked thoughtful questions about Badger’s care & instructions and I received regular updates during the multi-day sitting. I felt confident about the quality of care Badger received.”
About: Growing up, we always had dogs around (German shepherds, border collie, pit bull). When I moved away, I missed having my furry best friends around. I adopted my pup Professor Wellington from a shelter in LA when he was around 6-8 months old. He was the first little dog I ever had which seemed easier living in apartments in LA & NYC and traveling. We had almost 13 years together before he recently passed away, and now I have an even bigger soft spot for older dogs that need some extra TLC. I have a regular 8-5 type job during the week, and I have the most flexibility in my day on Friday afternoon/evenings and the weekends. Having a pup that was an escape artist in the beginning, I’m very aware of checking for possible escape routes. I’m also used to watching for signs of anxiety and fear with the environment and other people/dogs. Every dog is different, but I want them to feel as comfortable, happy & safe as possible. For any house sitting requests, I do require doing a meet and greet prior to confirming the booking to make sure that we are all on the same page
“Mary has helped me with staying in my house with my dog while we were away. She was very attentive to our dog when we first met. While we were gone she kept us updated and even handled the unexpected well. Our dog was happy and our house was immaculate when we got home. We will be booking with Mary again”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and have had a dog since I was 10, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine, needs, and quirks. I’ve always been responsible for feeding, walks, playtime, keeping their space clean, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for your pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow their normal routine, keep a close eye on them, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, food, and care while you’re away.
“Giovanny was awesome! He was kind, respectful and communicative. He was great with our pup. He followed our instructions and our pup loved him. We were even running late to get back home on time and Gio stayed until we returned. Highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth is an amazing pet sitter! She house/pet sat our 2 dogs and we felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. She followed our instructions and the dogs’ routine, gave us updates and our fur babies were happy. This was our first time with Elizabeth and we will for sure use her services again. I’ve already sent a referral her way 😊 Thank you so much for taking care of the house and the girls.”

Please message me with your scheduling needs and I will do my best to accommodate. Thank you <3 Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space to relax and a fully fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I closely monitor them during play and throughout the day. A crate is available if your dog is crate-trained or if they feel more comfortable having their own quiet space.
About: Im a life long pet owner with experience sitting all sorts of animals. Ive taken care of the smallest puppies to giant breed dogs as well as indoor and outdoor cats. I have fostered future service dog puppies, guinea pigs and rabbits too! I know when owners leave the house it can be stressful for the animals, thats why I stay at the owners house so the animals have the least amount of change possible. I love animals and am so excited to work with your pets! I am a college student who takes most of my classes online. This makes my schedule pretty flexible and only requires me to go to school two days a week. This allows me to be with your pets for the remainder of the time and give them all the love and care they need! I am available all major holidays but book up fast! I'll take care of your pets in your home. I know that leaving home can be stressful for both you and your pet that why I aim to keep your pets schedule the same as much as I possibly can. I will also update you about how your pet is doing a couple times a week so you know your pet is getting the best possible care!
About: 🦮🐕🦺🐕🐩🐕🦺🦮 Dog Experience 🦮🐕🦺🐩🐕🐕🦺🦮 I have experience caring for a wide range of dogs, including pit bulls, german shepherds, huskies, english bullterriers, bulldogs, poodles, and american bullies. I’ve raised and trained my current dog (Bruce Wayne) from a puppy and cared for my previous dog (Stella Rose) through all stages of life. Stella died from pancriatic cancer, giving me experience with senior care as well. I’m comfortable with all temperaments and energy levels, from high-energy dogs (like Bruce Wayne) to low energy dogs and older pets (like Stella Rose). 🐈⬛🐟🦜🐸🐢 Other Pet Experience 🐢🐸🦜🐟🐈⬛ I have experience with all different kinds of animals, from cats, to reptiles and aquatic pets. I particuarly have experience with cats, pac-man frogs, suckerfish, shrimp, pond fish, my grandmother's evil sun conure & golden jenday mixed bird, and turtles. Even though I don't have much experience with hamsters, mice, snakes, spiders, lizards and other animals, I am comfortable with all of them & feeding them their respective meals (live or dried). 🫶🏻 ✨✨✨✨✨✨ About Me ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I’m very patient and understanding with all pets. I’ve worked with shy, agressive & what many would consider to be straight up evil (my grandmothers bird) animals, earning their trust over time. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Sometimes pets can have a difficult time eating because of how much they miss their owners. If this happens (& if it's okay with the owners) I'll typically hand feed them to make sure your pet is getting the nutrition they need while your away. 🫶🏻 ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ Schedule ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ I’m currently a college student at CSULB with a pretty consistent class schedule & outside of school activities, which allows me to plan my pet care visits according to that. Depending on the day I’m typically available in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure to schedule my time so pets receive all the attention, walks, and care that they need. I’m dependable and communicate clearly if anything in my schedule changes. Right now I'm on summer break so I'm available almost all the time! 🫶🏻 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 Enviornment 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding routines, exercise, and any specific needs. I’m attentive to behavior and prioratize making sure pets feel secure in their own home. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind while they’re away.
About: My experience in pet care stems from my genuine concern for the well-being of animals and my inclination towards gaining knowledge in care for animals. Which stems from my personal experiences spending extensive time with beloved pets. Observing their individual personalities, the lively energy of an active animal, and the comforting companionship of a furry friend are the factors that drive my commitment to providing exceptional experiences for every pet. I have some experience working with various animals, including turtles and bearded dragons. Additionally, I have successfully rescued several newborn kittens. Personally, I have a passion for animals and if possible, I would love to have my own farm. My objective is to uphold your pets' routines and consistently implement any positive training protocols, in order to facilitate a seamless transition when you are not around. Currently, I am employed full time, but I would be interested in providing assistance with walking or feeding animals in the afternoons when you are unable to do so. However, I can only provide care for pets at their own homes or take them for walks, as my apartment does not allow animals. My availability is somewhat restricted due to my full-time work schedule. However, I am more than willing to offer assistance with your pets outside of my working hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. I currently do not have the necessary accommodations to keep pets in my living space. However, I am available to offer my services by providing pet sitting within the comfort of their own home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rossmoor
Christina was amazing. She was very communicative and helped me figure out how to properly book the overnight stay. I am so happy to have found her- she was great with my 3 dogs. We had such a wonderful experience with Christina! She took excellent care of our three pups. She was very communicative and kept us updated throughout her stay. Plus the pics of our pups were adorable. Christina was also so patient while I figured out how to book an overnight stay for the first time. She was also so respectful of our home and space. It was clear that our pups were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and loving sitter!
This was my first time leaving my dogs with a sitter, so I was pretty nervous, especially since my pug has severe allergies. I brought my pups with me for a proposal I planned for my girlfriend, but unfortunately, the restaurant where we went to celebrate afterwards didn't allow dogs. I needed someone nearby who was willing to sit with them in their stroller just in case. She found a great spot right by the restaurant, took wonderful care of my babies, and was so kind and sweet. Knowing they were safe close by made our special night stress-free. I highly recommend her!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable and confident leaving our dog in Jack’s care. He was incredibly kind, attentive, communicative, and clearly treated our dog like their own. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved every minute of their time together. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. We will definitely be using him again!

Caleb has been an excellent sitter both times for our pup Cooper, kept me updated on his status and was fast with his responses. The dog likes him and so do I. Anytime I am out of town I will be looking to use his services should he be available. I highly recommend him should you find yourself ever in need for a sitter.
Amanda kept me updated on Kelly’s daily routine, including her walks, feeding schedule, and relaxation time. She also sent photos of Kelly throughout her stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that Kelly was happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with Amanda again and highly recommend her.
Marissa watched our home and two very high energy Australian shepherds for nine days. She communicated with us daily, sent pictures, and took incredible care of our two doggies. Our home was left in amazing condition, she took in our mail, and overall we’re feeling so fortunate that she was available and offered to help. Highly, highly, highly recommend. THANK YOU MARISSA!!!
Candy is an absolute gem of a dog sitter! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my dogs in her care. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, which shows in everything she does. Candy kept me updated and treated my dogs like her own. I came home to happy, relaxed pups, which says it all. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Candy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and wonderful dog sitter.
Kayla was professional, communicative, and great with my anxious senior dog. She followed instructions perfectly and administered her medications without any issues. I came home to a very happy dog. I will be happy to book Kyla again to take care of my fur baby.
Kristen was amazing. We booked her last minute, but she still made time to come to our home, meet Chapo, and take notes on everything she needed to know. Our flight was early in the morning, and as soon as I sent the request, she responded right away and came over to learn about his meds, routine, and schedule. We’re so grateful for her. She played with Chapo, took him on walks, and made sure he got his meds since he had an upset stomach when we left. She updated us every time she was with him, which gave me so much peace of mind during our trip. Highly recommend her!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Rossmoor walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Rossmoor maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Rossmoor choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
