“Bennie and Jennie have done an excellent job taking care of Tofu and Jellybean once again. Our cats were very happy upon our arrival back home. Thank you to you both for always being willing to help!”
“Kailyr was amazing! Not only did she take great care of our little guy, she also managed some ants (eek!) and managed to keep Buck cool and happy during a heat wave. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future.”
“Irina is wonderful!! She has everything in her home set up to be cat friendly. Our cats had a blast while staying with her. She also sent daily pictures and videos of the cats, which I really appreciated! She’s so sweet and she took great care of our cats! I would highly recommend and definitely will use her again next time I need a cat sitter! :)”
About: Growing up with our family dog Lucy, who lived until she was 19, has given me plenty of practical understanding of dog care. I frequently help look after friends' dogs, providing reliable walks, playtime, and regular feeding. With my flexible schedule, I look forward to offering attentive, dependable, in-home care to give your dog the best experience. My two children are in school during the day, and I am studying full-time at the moment. This makes my routine flexible, and pet care can fit in easily. I can accommodate mid-day check-ins, feeding schedules and walks in an unhurried way. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your exact feeding, health and care guidelines to keep your pets safe and happy in their familiar environment. I treat your home with the utmost respect, always ensuring doors and gates are secure. You can expect clear communication and photo updates with every visit.
About: I’m confident your baby won’t miss mommy and daddy while in my care. We’ll spend quality time walking, running, and hiking as much as they’d like, plus plenty of cuddles in between. We can do this as my partner and I both work from home. I know exactly how hard it is to leave a pet behind, so I make sure every pet parent gets regular updates and cute photos to ease separation anxiety (I have one with my pets😉🤣). I’m also a skilled photographer, so you’ll get great shots of your baby having a blast. I’m a huge animal lover, the kind whose feed is entirely animals, including species some people find intimidating. I’ve had all kinds of pets over the years, and every one of them outlived its expected lifespan under my care. I’ve looked after family and friends’ dogs since I was a kid, and for the past several years I’ve spent a month annually caring for my aunt’s elderly dog, who is deaf and blind and only trusts me with her care. Since I’m almost always home and only leave to exercise, I can play and cuddle with your pet all day long. Being athletic myself and having easy access to great trails and walking routes nearby makes me an ideal dog walker. My partner, a former tennis player, is also an expert at fetch at the park right next to us. I work from home and barely go out because I am a homebody who loves cuddling and playing with animals all day. I love running and walking near my place and can do it as much as needed. My place is a third-floor townhome plan, and it’s 1,500 sq ft. I don’t leave my place except to work out or for special occasions. (This will be communicated to you before booking.) We have three cats at home who are shy but sweet and wouldn’t ever bother the dog. They are all fully vaccinated, including rabies. We have many hiking trails, beach walks, and parks near our place, so we can go to entertain the dogs as much as they want:) If you allow us, we can take the baby for a beach day too!😉
About: I’ve been caring for pets for 4 years and genuinely love being around animals. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving fresh water, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own! I’m a college student, and my classes are only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I’m available most of the day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I may also be available on weekends depending on my plans, so I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time with pet parents. I’m responsible, patient, and very attentive when caring for pets. When visiting a client’s home, I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, fed, and have fresh water. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and always treat their home and pets with respect.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, with 12+ years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs! I grew up with 4 cats and 2 German Shepherds, and later welcomed a small mixed-breed dog into the family, so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m also currently around 5 cats and have built a strong bond with each of them—I’m attentive to every pet’s individual needs and love making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their humans are away. 🐾💕 🐾 My Schedule & Availability I work part-time as a fitness instructor, which gives me plenty of flexibility and open pockets throughout the day to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’m most available mid-day through early evening, with full availability on weekends. I’m happy to help with neighborhood walks, trips to local parks, overnight stays, and extended care for week-long trips. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some extra company while you’re away, or a full week of care, I’d love to help keep them happy, active, and comfortable in their routine! 🐶🐱💕 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! I’m attentive to their individual needs, routines, and personalities, and I treat every pet with the same care and patience I’d want for my own. Whether we’re out on a walk or staying at home, I’ll provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet can feel comfortable and cared for. 🐾💕
“Tala was amazing! She picked up our last minute booking and was very communicative. My shy boy took to her right away which says a lot. She is thorough and takes pride in her work! Thank you Tala for everything!!”
“Mackenzie is awesome! My cat is a little scaredy cat but she really got her out of her shell within the week she watched her. She was a really great communicator with me everyday and left my house looking just as I left it. 10/10 would work with Mackenzie again :)”
About: Not only have I been a puppy owner myself for 12 years but within this time I have also worked at an animal sanctuary with a strong passion for the live and care of fur babies! From energetic puppies to wise old pals I’ve fetched, walked and cuddle my way through each age group. I am flexible to be able to meet you and your pups needs to ensure both of you are happy and comfortable! I am currently a part time server/bartender at a restaurant meaning that my hours are flexible each week! If there is a particular day/time you are looking for send me a message and we can work something out! When caring for pets I strongly believe that it is important to cater to each pup differently depending on their needs and personality. Not all pups are the same! That’s why I like to make sure that I take the time to understand and get to know each one to ensure their safely and happiness!
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover who truly believes pets are family. ❤️ I’ve had the joy of caring for animals throughout much of my life, including my cat, Bella, who was part of my family for 14 years, and my beloved dog, Ash, who I had for eight wonderful years. I lost Ash earlier this year, and that experience reminded me just how special the bond we share with our pets is. They’re more than just animals to us — they’re our babies, our companions, and a part of our everyday lives. I want to give other pets the same love, patience, and care that I always wanted for my own. Through caring for my own pets and helping family and friends, I’ve gained experience with senior dogs, dogs with medical needs, shy pups who need extra patience, and active dogs who love exercise and attention. I’ve also cared for cats with different personalities and needs. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, a little extra reassurance, medication given according to your instructions, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur babies in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I want to make sure each one receives the individual attention they deserve. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family as if they were my own. 🐶🐱 I work full-time Monday through Friday and am looking to incorporate dog walking and pet sitting into my routine during weekday evenings and on weekends. I’m happy to work with pet parents in my neighborhood (Long Beach) or near my workplace (Irvine) for added convenience, and I’m also open to opportunities in other areas of Orange County. I look forward to providing pets with attentive, loving care and giving owners peace of mind while they’re away! I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific routines or preferences. I give pets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs, while making sure they have fresh water and a clean, comfortable space. I also love keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel at ease knowing their pets are in good hands!
“First pet sit visit with Julia - but definitely won't be the last. Julia did a great job of taking care of our new kitty, Buddy, who is a handful. Julia is reliable and has an excellent rapport with animals.”
“Andrew and Olivia were amazing hosts to my Persian kitty, Buddha!! I got daily messages and adorable pictures on what Buddha was up to!!! They have a nice clean apartment and followed any instructions we gave them! Thank you for taking such good care of our baby!!!”
“Jasmine did a drop-in visit for our puppy while we were out for a few hours. She made sure she got out to potty, ate, had some playtime, and was comfortable and settled back into her crate before she left. Jasmine was reliable and communicative and we felt completely at ease knowing our puppy was in such good hands. We would definitely book Jasmine again!”
About: I’ve had two dogs while going to school! I got them both when they were babies and played, took care of them, and treated them well. I am working full-time, so I would love to help out in the evening after 5 pm! I would really enjoy taking care of your adorable pets! I have many walkable areas where I can treat your pet to some fun and exercise to get them out of the house and tired enough to sleep comfortably later that night! I am also very friendly for drop-in visits and giving them many pets and love.
“First time leaving my Kitties, and Melanie was just the best! She made me feel so at ease that they were in great and wonderful hands :) thank you so very much”

Kailyr watched our cats again this week, including an unexpected extension because our flight home was delayed — As before she took great care of them, and her updates are always fun to read. She sends lots of photos and videos, and she made sure the place was clean and orderly when we came home. This is our second time having Kailyr care for our cats, and we were again super appreciative of her care for them and attention to detail, as well as for being willing to take care of them an extra day on short notice. Very much recommended!
Sam was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our cat, Zorro, and spent quality time playing with him and keeping him happy and comfortable. She is incredibly sweet, caring, and lovely. We truly appreciated her kindness and attention to Zorro. We would highly recommend her and would love to have her care for Zorro again!
Bridget really saved us with a last minute booking! She took such great care of my cats,even my girl cat who usually takes a while to warm up to new people was cuddling on her lap night 1! Her warm energy must have been sense by them immediately, would definitely book again! Thank you thank you thank you(:
Miranda was great with taking care of our 6 year old cat. She was very communicative and sent us lots of photos of our baby during her visits. She played with her and gave us updates on how much she was eating. Our girl is shy and she warmed up to Miranda very quickly. We felt at ease knowing she was in great care while we were away. Thank you! 😻
Deborah is a passionate pet sitter who loves animals and is dedicated to caring for pets. I had forgotten to call the gate about her coming in the first night and she was so kind and understanding about having to come back a second time the same night to care for our kitty. She is very responsible and sent lots of photos!
Isabel was a fantastic pet sitter. She sent informative daily updates along with adorable pics of our three cats. They seemed calm and happy when we returned home. Their food and litter areas were clean and organized. We so enjoyed meeting Isabel at our meet and greet and had no doubt that our beloved boys would be in capable hands while we were away.
Ziran took such wonderful care of my cat OJ while I was away. I got thoughtful updates and adorable photos every day, which reassured me a lot. When I came home, OJ was relaxed, well-fed, and his space was clean and tidy. It’s obvious that Ziran truly cares about animals and treats them like their own.
Christy was wonderful with my four cats! They are not used to being sat and some of them have particularly medical needs, but she was able to make sure they got their meds and some love while we were gone. I will definitely be asking her next time I need a sitter.

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
