About: Have had more than one dog my entire life; small cocker spaniel, large lab, and pit bull. I adore puppies, dogs, and seniors. Flexible during the morning and evenings for your animals needs! I take my dog to a local park every other day to get fresh air and exercises. Happy to feed your animal, share cuddles and give them plenty of play time. I work in hospitality so I work closely with people all day long and would love to hangout with animals in the evening. Reliable transportation in case of any veterinarian emergencies. I work in the city and live in the burbs conveniently for all locations. Happy to travel anywhere up to 30 minutes away for the right client and animal! :) I work from home therefore I create my own schedule based on your animals needs :) I have my own dog therefore I’m used to waking up early and staying up late to walk him and get his energy out. I will accommodate to your dogs preferences and needs based on their crate training, yard, or daily walks. Since I work from home I can stay with them for some time for those that have separation anxiety.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats essentially my entire life, so I’m comfortable with pets of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I have hands-on experience with energetic puppies who require patience and extra attention, as well as senior pets that need a gentle touch. In fact, right now we have a puppy, a senior dog, and a senior cat at home, so I’m well-practiced in managing a variety of needs and responsibilities. I currently work part-time three to four days a week, which gives me plenty of availability to focus on pet care. I’m looking forward to offering loving care as a side gig until I return to college in late September. I make it a priority to keep an up-to-date schedule and communicate frequently so that both pets and owners know what to expect. When caring for pets, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. To me, this means following each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special needs they may have.
About: As the mom of a 16-year-old pup, I understand how much our animals mean to us. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and have lots of fun until you return home. Because I always end up missing my dog when I'm on vacation or at work, I know how comforting it is to see what they're up to, so I'm happy to share lots of photo updates. My own dog is a senior with medical conditions, so I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions and administering medications and fluids when needed. Having a senior dog has taught me to be extremely patient and has given me a better understanding of how to read a dog's behavior and know when it's time to give them space or when they're ready to play. I'm happy to take them on walks to get their energy out or relax with them at home, depending on their routine and mood. I look forward to watching your pet! I work remotely, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. My flexible schedule means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and can maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether they enjoy playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I prefer to care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and able to stick to their normal routine. This also allows me to protect my own senior dog, Mishi, who has lymphoma and is more vulnerable to illnesses and infections. I have years of experience babysitting in clients’ homes, so I’m respectful of others’ privacy, property, and routines. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect that I would my own while making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for.
About: I've always loved playing with dogs and taking care of them. I grew up raising dogs, and puppies since I was 8 years old. I have about 18 years of experience with caring for these beautiful animals and I can't have one while I'm at college so this is the closest I can come to having a dog of my own. I'm on summer vacation so I'm readily available. I have experience with rescue dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, bottle feeding puppies and dogs of all sizes. I am currently going to school online at Humboldt State so my availability is very flexible. I am readily available for drop-ins, house-sitting and walks! I care for my clients pets just as if they were my own, ensuring all of their needs are met while also giving them some extra love and attention
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years and genuinely love spending time with pets of all kinds. Friends, family, neighbors, and the families I’ve worked for have trusted me to walk, feed, administer medications, provide companionship, and care for both energetic puppies and senior dogs with patience and compassion. As a professional household manager and nanny, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and understand how important it is to follow routines and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, or calm, attentive care, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in great hands. I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and many holidays. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience, I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to them. I’m respectful of your home, keep everything clean and secure, and communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands.
“Steph did her usual great job taking care of our dog. Daily walks, medication, and food. He appears to be happier to see Stephanie than us when we return. Thanks again for taking care of our big boy!!”
“Jaycee is so reliable, I can almost set my watch by her arrivals! She sends great updates of my kitties and lets me know about any issue promptly! I’m grateful she is able to take great care of my boys when we are traveling!”
About: Loved and raised 10cats, 2 dogs, and 2 parakeets. I also have experience administering oral medication and injections for diabetic pets. Cash for lower rates ✅ Student schedule :) Only in person at UCSD Tuesday/Thursdsy 10am-2pm then drive back to OC. Let me know if you would like any animals bathed. I charge 45 cash per animal. Just let me know if there’s any fleas in advance. Also administer medication free of extra charge. I follow instructions clearly as provided by the owner and give my full attention to the animals I am caring for. I am also careful not to bring human food around them or anything that could be a choking hazard.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life being raised around them to continuing to love and care for them in my later life and have devoted myself fully to each one of them!

“Beth was great with our 6 month old kitten. I was nervous to leave her for the first time. But Beth kept us up to date with messages and photos. I’ll definitely use her again. She been a great dog sitter for us as well.”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats for the past 25 years. I am not afraid of big dogs (they’re actually my favorite!) and I am very respectful of the sensitivity that cats require. I am available for dog or cat visits and dog walks anytime after 3pm. I am on the beach trail in San Clemente almost every day so that is a favorite activity for dogs specifically. I am very respectful of the space I am visiting. I am there solely to care for your beloved pet. I am a trustworthy individual committed to the care of your pet.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - San Clemente
Lauren was fabulous! Very sweet and kind. She sent me daily pictures of my 2 cats, and cleaned up any hairballs! Added bonus there for sure. Was my first time going out of town and not having someone i know come over, but she really did great and took care of the cats well. Definitely rebooking next time in out of town!
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!!
Erin was great. I was nervous to leave my cat for a week but Erin made me feel at ease with detailed updates and multiple pictures per visit. Erin has clear communication and she clearly cares about cats which I felt from the initial visit with her but was reassured of this with every visit she had with my cat and update to me directly following every visit. I will definitely be using Erin to watch my cat again in the future if she is available when I go out of town.
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.

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. 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
