“Gave our three cats lots of love and affection and did a great job documenting her visits. Friendly and communicative. Took good care of other details like a special package that was unexpectedly delivered early. Would absolutely book her again!”
“Jennifer followed my detailed instructions very well and sent me constant updates with pictures while I went on a long deserved vacation. Kitty got sick a week prior so I was worried that she hasn’t fully recovered. Luckily there were no issues. Thanks Jennifer for everything! Highly recommend to others.”
“Gagan was very accommodating of our last minute request and provided estate for our cat keeping him in a separate room to make him feel comfortable. He kept us informed via updates and photos and took good care of him. Highly recommended”
About: I had my first dog at nine, but cared for friends and families’ pets before that to prepare myself. I’ve always been good with animals and would be honored to care for yours in your absence. I’m also decent at getting them to take any medication that they might need. I am in between jobs at the moment and have my own transportation so caring for your babies would be at the top of my priorities I will tailor care for your pets based on your needs and preferences. Let me know your pet’s routine so that I don’t disrupt it too much. I will, of course, use crates if needed, and doors and locks will always be checked.
“Katie did an amazing job with Raven! Our dog is reactive and needed to meet new people slowly. Katie was very mindful of her and followed all of our directions! She also gave our dog so much love during her visit - rest assured that your pet will be taken care of !”
About: For over 13 years, I’ve been taking care of dogs! I have 3 dogs at home myself, a Havanese poodle and two German shepherds! My dogs are on the older side and aren’t able to go on walks as much so I wanted to join Rover. When I’m away from home and miss my dogs, also volunteer at the animal shelter to do doggie day out and bring shelter dogs for walks and a pup cup. I pay careful attention to body language for dogs to make them feel comfortable. I just graduated from UCI so I’ve been readjusting back at home. When I get the chance, I love going out and trying the next big thing! When I’m home, I love playing with my dogs and snuggling up with them because they’re so cute I know safety and trust is the utmost importance so I will be sure to communicate with you if issues were to arise. I make sure that the area is familiar, safe and enclosed before letting a dog off-leash and walks are always on-leash. I have trained multiple dogs to learn basic commands and signals with treats and positive reinforcements.
About: Hello! I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, and other small pets my whole life. I’ve had dogs of all sizes, from small terriers to massive chow and pitbull mixes. While my family still has dogs and cats that I care for at times, in my own home I currently have 3 small rabbits! They are dwarf holland lops, fully litter box trained and friendly with people and dogs (less so with cats). As a child I took horse riding lessons and learned to properly care for horses in their stables, and have also cared for friends’ geckos and tortoises. I love all animals and am excited to help care for yours! I work full-time as a scientist, with flexible availability Monday through Friday for drop-ins on your pets. I am available all day on weekends! While my home is not open to additional pets at this time, I can accommodate any specific needs or routines your pets have in your home or neighborhood!
“Alisha is absolutely wonderful. She took excellent care of our 16-year-old kitty girl. We lost her brother late last year and this was the first time Desie would be on her own during a trip. Alisha took patient effort to make sure she ate and sent plenty of pictures so we could see how our beloved little girl monster was doing. I really felt like I left my cat in the care of someone who loves her as much as I do. 100/10 will absolutely book again for a trip later this year.”
“Christina was amazing as always. While I was away, my cat was sick, and she did everything in her power to make sure my cat was okay. She is a very sweet and caring person.”
“Kevin was great. We had him cat sit for us while we were on vacation. Our cat warmed up to him immediately and they became fast friends. He was very helpful and diligent in cleaning the litter box. Would recommend him again!”
About: My experience taking care of my own cat and dogs in my home for the last 10 years has given me a lot of knowledge about how pets behave and how to make sure they are happy while their parents are away. I helped raise my parents two King Charles Cavaliers, a very affectionate and hyper breed, and took care of them when mom and/or dad went away. I am experienced with grooming long hair on the ears and tail, and I wouldn't mind brushing your dog or cat as much as they allow. I love animals of all sizes and temperaments! I can make sure they are well-exercised on walks. I've had my cat since I was 8 years old, so I have plenty of experience with cat care. I know when to back off and when to redirect and play with cats, and I never mind giving plenty of pets. I am available all of the time unless I have plans in place. I am very flexible as well. Please reach out to me and we can figure out something that works for both of us. Any precautions you make me aware of will always be followed. I will adjust what I do depending on the animals mood, and make sure their needs are met. I always make sure that the animal(s) are happy and hopefully tuckered out by the time I leave. I always clean up after myself and the pet(s), so you don't have to worry about coming home to a mess. I also am a plant lady, so I am happy to keep your plants watered and cared for.

About: I’m a stay-at-home mom to a few humans & a two year old golden retriever, who is also my emotional support animal! I am currently offering all services! Check-in visits can include: Feeding, walking, bathing, watering plants, bringing in mail/packages, etc. Please feel free to ask for any additional services! I work from home Monday-Friday, so I am always available for any of your pets needs! My hours are very flexible and I can rush over to your pet whenever needed. I am free every weekend as well, unless my schedule is booked in advance. Check-in visits are super convenient and easy for both your pets and I. All pets will keep collars on during the entire stay (unless otherwise advised), and will always have leashes and/or harnesses on while outdoors. I make sure to update clients with pictures throughout the day as well as a daily rover card so you can keep track of your pets day 🫶🏼 I understand how important a pet can be to your daily life, and ensure you I will do my best to keep you in the loop at all times.
About: Full time artist here who loves dogs and cats. I've always been surrounded by dogs and cats back home and would love to give my customize my love to them like my art. I'm currently working from home. I like taking a walk in the morning and evening. I don't mind walking any time of the day though. I will have a separate space for them where they can play. Apart from that I will not take them elsewhere since it's not fenced
“Wow, Myat was absolutely fantastic! We have an older cat and a bunny rabbit, and Myat not only checked in with them and kept them fed, but also spent time playing with them so they were not lonely. Her daily photos were so cute and you could tell the animals were thrilled. Our cat ended up throwing up while we were away, and Myat was kind enough to clean up his vomit and also contacted us to be safe. She also picked up rabbit poop! We did not ask her to do this- she did it because she is incredible. We will 100000000% be booking with Myat again. Book Myat! She’s THE BEST”

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.

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.
