“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!”
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!😉
“This was my first time using Novia, and she was terrific! She took great care of my little guy and provided wonderful updates at each visit. I’ll definitely use her again!”

About: What sets me apart is the combination of meticulous, individualized care and real experience with reactive dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, routines, and boundaries, and I’m attentive to the little details that help them feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I also love getting dogs outside for plenty of enrichment, whether that’s exploring the Back Bay, enjoying nature, going on walks, or simply having a fun adventure at their own pace. My goal is for every dog to have a safe, attentive environment and feel like they’re on their own little vacation. I work full time from home in OC, California. I have a fairly good size apartment and a large patio (almost small yard size) with access to lots of walking trails immediately behind my home. Your dog will be cared for as if they were my own Juno boy. I’m extremely detail-oriented when it comes to pet care, and safety is always my highest priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, exercise needs, quirks, and comfort level so I can provide truly individualized care rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. In my home, I have a crate-trained dog and several separate rooms, along with gates that allow me to safely manage different spaces. This means I can comfortably accommodate more sensitive, shy, reactive, or simply more independent dogs who may need their own space or gradual introductions. I’m very mindful of interactions between pets and never assume that every dog wants the same level of socialization. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I’m attentive to their environment, behavior, and wellbeing throughout the day. I want you to feel completely confident that your pet is not only getting plenty of love and attention, but is being cared for thoughtfully, safely, and responsibly while you’re away.

I'm also an avid runner and fitness enthusiast who loves spending time outdoors. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing and cuddling, I'm happy to accommodate their energy level and personality. I'm responsible, attentive, affectionate, and genuinely passionate about animals.

I'm an active person who loves running, walking, and spending time outdoors, so incorporating pet care into my daily routine comes naturally.

I'm available throughout the week and on weekends, with flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! As an experienced pet owner, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members.

About: I just love dogs and the emotional connection that I receive from taking care ofyour pets. I am also a volunteer at the Tustin animal care center. I have been a volunteer for almost 12 months now and I'm on the dog walking team. I volunteer 6 hrs wk and I have a part time job that is extremely flexible. I live alone and Ido not have a boyfriend.. Make sure they have ample walks and adventures, I will take them probably to the dog park or go on errands in the car. If they like to ride in the car and we'll definitely play ball and I'll just love on your animal like it was my own.
“Julie is so great! She comes for drop-in visits when we are gone for the day and plays with our dog the whole time! Rory loves Julie! Julie sends great updates and photos while with our pup.”

About: I have loved dogs (particularly big dogs) since I was a little girl! I've been volunteering at Priceless Pets in Costa Mesa for about three years and love it. My duties include walking, bathing, and loving on all of our shelter dogs that need us. Through the shelter I also got into fostering and have had four foster dogs, three of which were Dobermans, and have gotten them adopted through posting on social media. I spend most of my week with dogs and thought why not offer my services on Rover! I work from home full-time so your dog will never be left alone for more than an hour or two and I plan on bringing them with me for tons of walks, coffee breaks, and fun times in the park! Any dog that's with me I will treat as if they are my own. I can't wait to meet you and your dog! I own my own bussiness so I make my own hours, and since having my own dog full time isn't an option right now, taking care of yours is the next best option! I go for tons of walks and am running errands so your pup will get tons of time outside and be my day to day buddy! I have fostered all dogs from dobermans to mini poodles so I feel really comfortable with all types of dog personalities. Ensuring the safety of your dog and other dogs we may encounter is my highest priority. We can come up with a game plan together of however I can best support your dog and keep them comfortable, happy, and safe!
“Rachel has been absolutely amazing! I have such a hard time leaving my pup, but I was stress free this wedding weekend while I got married because Rachel has been so nice and sweet & kept us updated constantly ! Thank you Rachel!”

“Camille was so great! She was very communicative and patient with my Cece. I had an issue with my schedule last min and had to move the date, but Camille was quick to respond, very understanding and helpful :) Would definitely book with her again!”
About: With over 10 years of pet care experience, I bring a deep understanding and genuine love for dogs of all ages and needs. My expertise includes everything from potty training energetic puppies to providing specialized care for senior dogs, including administering subcutaneous injections. I’m also skilled in handling reactive dogs, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable during walks or home visits.

I am able to handle dogs of all sizes, breed, and temperament. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as a graduate student. My classes are scheduled in two to four hour blocks, which allows me plenty of flexibility to take dogs out for regular potty breaks and ensure they’re well cared for throughout the day. I lead an active lifestyle, so if your dog has lots of energy, we can go for runs on the beach or spend time at the dog park. I have a car and driver’s license, so if your dog enjoys car rides or needs a more relaxing activity, I’m happy to accommodate. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize following the routine your dog is used to, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in your absence. I treat your home with the utmost respect, I’m happy to assist with light household tasks like putting away dishes, water plants, or bringing in packages.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I have always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends.

I treat every pet like my own and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Thursday, but I’m often available for evening walks or drop-ins during the week. From Thursday night through Sunday night, I’m available for overnight stays or extended visits at your home. I’m not able to host pets in my own home since I have a cat who prefers to have the space to herself, but I’m more than happy to care for your pets in their familiar environment where they feel most comfortable.

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!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
