About: I am one of the few sitters in the area that does boarding, drop-ins, and walks, so no matter what your pet sitting needs are, I have you covered and can be a familiar face for your pet to feel at home! As a cat and dog mom myself, I love all animals and know just how much your pets mean to you! I’ve always enjoyed spending time with animals and helping friends and family with pet sitting. I’d love to help you with dog walks and drop-in visits, whether your pup needs some exercise, a potty break, or a little company during the day. I’m also happy to check in on your cats, refill their food and water, clean their litter boxes, and give them some attention while you’re away. Every pet has their own personality, and I’m happy to go with the flow and follow their usual routine. Whether they want to play, go for a walk, or just hang out, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for! 💛 I work a hybrid schedule but mostly WFH, so I have a pretty flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits! Since I have a dog and cat of my own, taking care of pets is already part of my daily routine. I can usually fit visits in throughout the day and am happy to work around you and your pet’s schedule! I am one of the few sitters in the area that does boarding, drop-ins, and walks, so no matter what your pet sitting needs are, I have you covered and can be a familiar face for your pet to feel at home!

About: I have always had multiple cats since I was 10 years old and have 8 years of experience volunteering for cat and dog rescues! I currently have 6 cats and a husky/malamute mix, all rescues. Most recently, I fostered 2 husky/shepherd puppies and even puppy-proofed my yard for them to have more space to run around and play. In previous years, I have had a negative experience with having friends watch my pets, so I understand how important it is to find the right pet sitter. Pets are our children and should be treated as such. I would be honored to give your baby the best possible care and lots of love and attention! I am a full time dog and cat mom that works seasonally in entertainment, so my schedule is completely open for whatever you need! My dog gets 2 walks a day with potty breaks every 4 hours, even in the middle of the night. My cats receive a mix of dry and wet food twice a day with their water changed and litter scooped daily and plenty of cuddle time. I have a large fenced yard in a safe, suburban neighborhood for your dogs to play in. My home has multiple large rooms with cat trees and cat shelves that can be kept as a private oasis for your cat or cats if they are to stay with me.
“Chris did a great job checking in on our 3 cats while we were away for the week. She was able to give my cat her medication, provided daily updates with pictures, and had play time with each of them.”
“Avery was so great with my senior gals that require a lot of care and attention. She also took great care of my home while I was away and was very communicative throughout the stay.”
About: Hi! I’m a cat-only sitter in Rosemead. I have long-term experience caring for cats and understand shy, quiet, and independent personalities. I provide calm and patient care, including feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime if the cat is comfortable, and daily photo updates. I focus on cats only to ensure a safe and low-stress environment. I am available daily for drop-in visits and can easily fit pet care into my routine. I can provide feeding, litter cleaning, and calm companionship for cats at convenient times for their owners. I focus on providing a safe and comfortable environment for cats. I respect their space, handle them gently if needed, and make sure they have fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. I also provide daily photo updates to keep owners informed.
About: Working as a teacher and pet sitter have taught me many of the same skills: patience, communication, responsibility, and genuine care. I’ve traveled across the U.S. to pet sit for both cats and dogs, and I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’m attentive to owners’ instructions and take their trust seriously. Whether it’s keeping up with a feeding schedule, making sure a dog gets plenty of exercise, or giving a shy cat some extra space and patience, I do my best to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and always aim to leave a place as clean—or cleaner—than I found it. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I currently work as a substitute teacher, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time before and after work to provide attentive care, and I’m generally able to adjust my schedule around a pet’s needs. I live a calm lifestyle and enjoy spending time at home, so pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I have a safe, comfortable home with a backyard where pets can get some fresh air and space to explore. I also live right next to a park with a designated pet area and plenty of greenery, which makes it easy to provide regular walks and outdoor time. I want pets in my care to feel comfortable and at home, while also following their owner’s routines, instructions, and preferences.
About: I work full-time, so I’m best available for early morning and evening drop-in visits, with more flexibility on weekends. I’m reliable with timing and will always communicate clearly so you know exactly when your cat is being cared for. I treat every visit like it matters. I’ll follow your cat’s routine carefully, refresh food and water, clean the litter box, spend quality time with them, and check that doors and windows are secure before I leave. I’ll also send photos and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Hi Valerie, thank you so much for taking care of Tigre, I have a trip coming up in Feb 2/14-2/25 the dates are not comfirmed yet let me know if you are available. thank you Maru”
“Shante was amazing with the kitties -- I cannot recommend her highly enough! She came to my house on short notice to meet my kitties (we had a family emergency and had to leave within 24 hours). She taught us all about cat tv, spent time bonding with the cats, and was so sweet! I've never returned from a trip with both cats happy, social and relaxed. I'm so grateful for Shante and will definitely use her service again! My two special needs kitties and I have had our share of bad cat sitter experiences. Shante not only quelled my concerns from the outset but sent regular updates, the cutest photos, brought them new toys, and found unique ways to engage my boys and get them up and moving daily. If you are in search of the perfect cat sitter, look no further. Shante is it!!”
About: Hi there! My name is Michele, and I understand how important it is to find reliable caretakers you can trust. I approach dogs with care and kindness, and I pay attention. I prioritize following your instructions and making sure your dog is comfortable and safe with me. I have a deep history as a dog owner. My mom had a knack for picking up strays and taking in fosters, so I have been providing dog care my whole life. I was 9 years old when I first helped raise a litter of bottle babies, and dogs of all sizes and breeds were my brothers and sisters as I grew up. I have had the good fortune of having two soul dogs in my lifetime, one of whom recently passed away from lymphoma and its complications. During our two-year cancer battle, I learned a lot about canine nutrition, care for elderly and disabled dogs, and at-home medication processes including oxygen administration. Dogs are some of our best family members. I love all dogs, and I would love to meet yours! I have a flexible schedule each week. I have a preference for walks in the mornings and afternoons, avoiding the hottest temperatures, but can accommodate a wide range of times. For boarding and overnights, I prioritize listening to your instructions in regards to your dog's preferences, habits, and level of training. If your dog will be comfortable having the run of the house, I am comfortable with allowing them to explore my home as they board with me; alternately, if your dog does better in more contained environments, we can set up your crate, pen, etc or limit their range to one area of the house. We have a small, maintained side yard that dogs are welcome in, but no back yard. When entering a client's home, I will behave with the utmost respect, and only enter areas of the home necessary for instructed dog care. For overnight stays at clients' homes, I reserve the discretion to limit my hours depending on any safety concerns, but will not change plans without good faith attempts at communicating with you to find solutions that work for us both.
“Kevin did a great job with taking care of my skittish cat! She was able to hide and do her own thing but Kevin made sure she was fed (with medication) and her litter box was taken care of. I appreciate that he even sent a picture of my cat while I was gone. She seemed perfectly fine after I came back.”
“Y'all -- trust me when I say Susan is just the best and you are leaving your pets in the best of hands with her. She went above and beyond all of my expectations, leaving such detailed notes for each visit and clearly cared about the wellbeing of my three cats so very much. She was always super prompt and communicative, wanting to know if there was anything else she could do. My guys warmed up to her right away, even the more skittish ones. She's a real animal lover. I could not recommend her more and will definitely be asking her to watch my cats again in the future! Thank you, Susan!”
About: I have taken care of pets for the last 20 years. I have been a house dog sitter for two German shepherds. I have also taken care of a tiny dogs while’s I’ve done babysitting and house sitting while owners are away on trips. I ha a 13 year old Pommix (my first baby). He has 2 kitten sisters (5yrs and 3 months). I recently retired from teaching elementary school for 30 years and would love to spend more time caring for furbabies 🥰. I would enjoy dropping in to play or walk pets and board pets on my home. I am a retired teacher. I spent 30 years in the classroom. I would like to work part-time caring for pets, walking them, as well as pet sitting when their parents are away. I have a fenced in yard so dogs can run and play. I also have a patio being built on my porch for cats who like the outside. My neighborhood is a perfect place to walk dogs as well as stroll cats in their cat stroller.
“Eric has been good about sending updates; be sure to be upfront with him about what is needed for pet overnights and he will respond promptly. Would recommend him to others :)”
About: I've been caring for animals for years-both my own and for friends, neighbors, and family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors, and I'm comfortable with a range of temperaments. Ive helped with everything from daily walks and playtime to administering medications and special diets. I truly love getting to know each dog's personality and routine-it's important to me that every pet feels safe, loved, and well-exercised while you're away. I work from home part-time as an on-call architectural historian, so I have full control over my schedule! I’m very flexible and happy to accommodate same-day bookings, last-minute requests, and cancellations with a heads-up. I’m usually up by 6–7 AM and go to bed around 11 PM–midnight, so I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m always happy to work around your pet’s routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, respect your home and routines, and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. I’m attentive to your pet’s individual needs and will make sure they receive plenty of patience, affection, and reliable care while you’re away.
About: Back home in Atlanta, GA, I cared for our family's dogs that lived to ten and fifteen years old, with our youngest dog turning fourteen this year. From walks on the leash, to fenced yard time, to cleaning indoor accidents, every animal deserves the care needed to live a happy, healthy life. Now, residing in LA County, I'm on year two of taking care of my rescue kitty. She is friendly but can always be kept in a separate room for guests' comfort. I live in a quiet neighborhood with safe, walkable sidewalks and have an in-unit balcony for fresh air in between walks! As a professional actor & NBA dancer, my work schedule varies each week. I feel most grounded when I schedule daily walks or park time for myself and would love a furry companion to enjoy the fresh air with! In addition to the entertainment industry, I work a remote job that brings hip hop dance programming to youth in underserved communities. These flexible hours allow room for pet care at various hours throughout the day, so I may continue working towards my passions whilst ensuring the best care for your pet. In my home, I have an in-unit balcony that allows dogs to get fresh air in between walks. The large windows and cat hammock overlooking the balcony make for a great view as well. The unit has plenty of open space with no fragile items/furniture accessible to pets. Just outside of my apartment building is a quiet, walkable sidewalk for leashed walks.

Cristina did an amazing job caring for my two kitties while I was on a three week vacation. This was the longest I had been away from my cats so I was worried they would be stressed, but they loved Cristina immediately and were instantly comfortable with her. Cristina even brought new toys to keep them entertained. I had so much peace of mind with Cristina caring for my cats. Cristina was communicating with me the entire time I was away and working with her was a breeze. I will definitely book with her again!
Zihui is the best! Daily sitter for my 3 cats! I traveled out of the country for 7 days and I was so comfortable and at ease with Zihui coming over to my residence for daily drop ins. Zihui sent daily photos of my 3 cats; Her updates were very detailed with feeding schedules for each one and behavior patterns for each one. Zihui has a big heart for pets! She is very caring and within a short time she fell in love with my cats. My cats became comfortable with her. It brought joy to me knowing that my 3 babies (cats) were well taken care of. I will 100% recommend her to my family and friends . I will be booking her for future drop ins. Thank you Zihui
Narin was amazing! She didn’t just make sure my cat was fed and watered, but also played with her, kept the litterbox spotless, and cleaned up the area. Narin also kindly kept me up to date with lots of pics. She is a seasoned pro and made this so easy. I hope to have Narin cat sit again.
In my second booking with Faye, I was thoroughly impressed by her exceptional service. Her compassion and care for my cats are evident in every interaction. Faye consistently goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being of my feline companions, providing me with unwavering peace of mind while I am away from home. Her dedication and professionalism continue to astound me, and each experience surpasses the last.
Alexis did an amazing job looking after Mouchey -- I could tell how well he was looked after by how perky and engaged he was in every picture sent to me, as well as his bounding energy after I returned. She was also super adaptable and communicative: unexpectedly, an ant invasion occurred while I was gone, and Alexis did an outstanding job of letting me know about the situation, moving Mouchey and his items to a separate room, and containing the problem. Even when Mouchey's food was compromised, she immediately went the extra mile and offered to run to the store for a new bag so that we could toss the old one out. Her quick responsiveness and meticulous documentation allowed me to call in additional resources to clean up the issue, and she was so helpful and accommodating during the whole ordeal. Much, much gratitude for all of your help! I absolutely endorse Alexis's professionalism and competence -- I cannot understate how impressive her conduct was during this booking.
She took such great care of my cat! She was attentive, caring, and always communicated promptly. She was also flexible and adjusted her approach and communication based on the situation. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. Highly recommend her!
I feel so lucky to have found her! She is incredibly caring and thoughtful, always follows the house rules and instructions, and even stays a little longer to make sure Rudy is taken care of. I really appreciate how much love and attention she gives him. I’ll definitely book with her again! Highly 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 .

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 .
