About: My schedule is flexible throughout the week, giving me plenty of time for pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits and can work with you to plan visits around your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. During drop-in visits, I carefully follow each pet owner’s instructions and routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure doors and windows are secure to prevent escapes and treat every client’s home with respect. I’m attentive to changes in a pet’s behavior or well-being and will communicate any concerns right away. I’ll also provide updates and photos after each visit so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Lauren was absolutely incredible! This was not only my first time using Rover, but also my first time ever leaving our cat, Sailor, in someone else’s care, so needless to say, I was a little nervous! From the very beginning, Lauren made me feel completely comfortable and reassured that he was in wonderful hands. She went above and beyond with daily updates, adorable pictures and videos, and thoughtful messages about how he was doing, including whether he was eating and settling in. It was so obvious that she genuinely cared about his well-being, and that meant the world to me! What could have been a stressful experience turned into such a positive one, all thanks to Lauren. I was able to relax and enjoy my time away knowing my little man was being so well cared for. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave Sailor with her again. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Lauren is your girl! Highly, highly recommend! ❤️”
“Jo was awesome! She came beforehand to check out the 'scene'. Very attentive and thorough with the cat-sitting. Super appreciative of her time and help. Her communication with me throughout the process was great and kept me at ease! She rocks!”

“Patrice was an amazing cat sitter! She took great care of our two cats and sent us a lot of pictures and videos of them which we really loved. We'll be a repeat customer for sure ?.”
About: The reflection of a person reflects how a domesticated animal will come to be. Thoughts like these make me want to understand more of why we were put on this world. Animals make me happy. They do things so flowingly and naturally and it’s so unique because it’s so simple. They don’t want to do it, they just do it. Each dog and cat all have their quirks and differences which is why they are so special to me being that all animals are special as well. These thoughts and experiences help me into exploring more of what I want to be as a person with animals and how this could help me to become what I aspire in being and beyond. I go to the gym almost everyday about an hour and a half. I go out most of the weekends usually between 2pm to 1am. 3 adults also live in our household and they already take care of most of the pets in our household. Every single moment counts as animals are in every single moment as well since they are being. To this moment I am still learning to understand all of my pets, they all have their differences and that is what I love so much. I have be different with each one. Adapting is such a big challenge for me because it can require a vast amount of patience and effort. Sometimes things will not go the way you want it to and that’s ok. There will always be another moment to try. These thoughts and reasons are what I want to apply when I’m studying new animals and how I can gain their trust.
“Very grateful for Jordan and her care for my Moosher. We had never been apart so this was the first tim, and I was worried. She get scared of all people that are not me but she accepted Jordan and her presence”
About: Hi my name is Kohana! I volunteed at an SPCA up until a few months ago, where I was trained to take dogs on walks, clean up dog & cat waste, and ensure their happiness. **distance is not an issue, I drive a prius** It is important to me to practice comfort for the animals through tasks such as : a constant clean & safe environment, adequate feeding, clean water, and playing. I would also love to brush your pet if you would like. I can handle large dogs and puppies (not bottle fed young). I take dogs out from the shelter where we get to go outside of the shelter together (ie beach, hikes, etc). When I take puppies out or energetic dogs I like to practice good behaviors and positive reinforcement. I know how to behave around animals where their comfort is my priority and our relationship is at their pace, I know some animals can be timid (especially cats). I am trained to take care of dogs, cats, and other animals as well. Please message me if you have any questions! I am available most days but Monday, Thursday, and Friday where I am working at Monarch Bay Pet Supply. I am free at all times. I am flexible and okay with short notices. I live with my mom and two cats, where I regularly clean the litter box, exchange water, wash bowls, and feed them. I grew up with the notion of "leave things better than you found it" and the importance of respect, especially in the space of someone else. I would love to provide comfort to you through the ensured safety of your animal and your home.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - San Clemente
Our cat Pawlina LOVES Cornelia!! She was a feral cat and is quite shy and fearful of most people, but she responded immediately to Cornelia, and even greets her when she comes over. We are very happy knowing that Pawlina is being so well cared for by Cornelia while we’re away!!
Analiese was absolutely fantastic with my cat who can be a bit spicy and has a temperamental personality. He warmed up to her throughout her drop in visits as she is a lovely, patient individual with a great understanding of cat body language and respected his space and boundaries. Highly recommend!
Owen has been the best cat-sitter for our 2 cats! Easy to communicate, always on time, understandable of our needs. We have a complicated automatic toilet, feeders, and water dispenser - Owen was able to operate all that stuff. He spent time fixing our automatic toilet when it got stuck. Bottom line, we are happy and will be looking for Owen's services next time if available.
Michelle is a wonderful sitter that I’ve trusted to watch my cats a few times now. She’s very caring and kind with my boys and always gives the best updates/takes the best photos! I always have peace of mind when she’s watching my cats. I’ll definitely be using Michelle all the time for my animal care.
Selina was amazing with my special-needs cat. She followed instructions perfectly, was gentle and patient, and sent regular updates that made me feel at ease. I could tell my cat felt safe and cared for. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter! Thank you Selina!!!

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.

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 .
