“Janet was great with the pup. She was able to meet up before the scheduled visits for intros and to answer any questions. She was very accommodating and provided plenty of updates while looking after the pups. Would definitely recommend and would be happy for her to look after our dog again!”

About: Hi! I'm Mary, a lifelong dog lover and dependable pet caregiver. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs a walk or playtime, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I'm active, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My goal is to provide reliable care at reasonable rates because I believe every pet deserves quality attention without it costing a fortune. I'm available on all weekends and have a flexible schedule for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime. This is my side hustle as I save toward my financial goals, but I take every pet care commitment seriously and treat each dog as if they were my own :) At this time, I am only offering walks and drop-in visits. I do not offer boarding or in-home pet sitting, as I don't have a large enough home to comfortably accommodate additional dogs.
“Mackenna was awesome! I felt total trust and confidence in leaving my dog in the care of Mackenna know that Sami, my husky, would be well cared for. Mackenna went above and beyond in providing extra care, cuddles and was very attentive.”

About: I am a deep lover of animals of all kinds, my experience ranging from pigs, lizards, cats, horses, and everything in between!! I have trained my once very food driven and possessive pitbull rescue to wait for the proper commands and be able to regulate her emotions. I truly believe having patience and love towards all creatures always results in growth, and I’m determined to help in any way I can! It fits in at every moment because it is a way of life. Coexisting with our creatures and being able to give them a happy and fulfilling life is a blessing in itself and done any time I can. Before work walks, cuddling and playing through the day, running errands together, giving them treats. I give each animals plenty of attention, kisses and affirmations. I take them on walks, play games (my pitbull loves tug of war), let them sniff and take their time when needed, keep them safe and in environments they can thrive in, maintain regular feeding schedules, clean up and provide proper care at all times.
About: Hi! I provide dependable pet care with a focus on consistency, communication, and flexibility. I enjoy spending time with animals, and I take the responsibility of caring for them seriously. Since I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’m able to be flexible and give each pet my full attention. I stick closely to routines, follow care instructions, and make sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away! If you’re looking for someone reliable, responsive, and easy to work with, I’d be happy to help! I am currently taking time off from working to reset and travel locally.

I consistently adhere to the animals current schedules especially when it comes to feeding times and walks to reduce any anxiety while you are away. I am available to pet sit in your home but I am unable to host your pets in my apartment building.
About: I’m highly reliable and flexible. I can meet the needs of you pet and will give them the attention they require. I’m a stay at home mom and I would enjoy the presence of your pet to help me stay productive. The number of walks per day will depend on your location. I’m able to dog sit up to 5-7 days a week. Over night stays would be discussed depending if your pet sleeps indoor or outdoors. It is very possible at my home but I would like to know any important details about your pet I should know about when going to bed. I prefer for your pet to be child friendly as well. I’m looking forward to meeting any friendly pet that comes my way.
“Jonathan was amazing! Joplin immediately felt comfortable with him and I felt incredibly comfortable having him care for her. He’s naturally kind with dogs and I’ll definitely reach out to him in the future.”
“Alex was great! She took time getting to know our cats (even the skeptical one). Good updates and communication put our minds at ease. Our cats were in good hands while we were away -- definitely recommended!”
“First time working with Emma and definitely not the last time. The cats approve! On time, which is crucial with the medication and very caring for both the cats and our piece of mind.”
About: I have lived with animals all my life, usually a combination of cats and dogs. I always ensure the pets I take care of feel safe and at home. I have also owned a hamster and a frog so far! Im currentlly between full time jobs, so I can make taking care if your animal my full time job if needed! I still plan on sitting once I get settled because I love caring for animals anyways. I am immensely patient, and will try my best to ensure trust can be built between myself and your pet when caring for them. I love playing with pets and my past dogs were always hard leash pullers.

Anytime after that or any other day of the week I’m free to pet sit. I have 3 pets at home. They all get along and play around a lot. I walk them daily and make sure they have water at all times and feed them when it’s time.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Juan Capistrano
I’m very happy to have found Katelyn for occasional check ins. She is very friendly, reliable and punctual. She did everything exactly how I explained. Her experience as an RVT really gave us peace of mind since we have a diabetic dog thats needs insulin injections and medication. I definitely recommend her; especially if you have dogs with special needs.
Rachel was very reliable and communicative, and she did an excellent job of taking care of my two dogs and bird while I was gone. She is conscientious and follows directions well. It’s great to find someone you can trust so I will be using her again. Thank you Rachel!
I was really impressed with Kelsey's kind and sweet ways with my Sammy! He doesn't warm up to easily, and this would have been the very first time I would have left him with a sitter. I have got to say Sam liked Kelsey very much, and came and laid by her, and ate his treats, and really warmed up to her and made me feel oh so comfortable for when I do have to leave him in the future. Kelsey sent me notices when she was on her way here and had wonderful conversation with me once she got here, since I was unable to attend my trip. She was so caring, I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again to take care of Sam, especially now that I have gotten to know her, and was able to see her interact with my precious Sammy. Kelsey was Great!
A heartfelt THANK YOU to Denise for taking care of Gemma (& all the house hiccups) this past holiday week! She kept our minds at peace while we were back East thousands of miles away. Perhaps the best compliment I can give Denise...I have had about a dozen sitters over the past 10 years and Gemma was the most calm and like herself upon our return out of any sitting experience I have ever had. So grateful for you, Denise!
Huiwen was great! Communication went very well. She was flexible, she spent some time with our little puppy, I felt nervous leaving him for the first time. But she made me feel very comfortable. She took great care of our little guy and we will definitely be booking to use her services again.
Tatiana went above and beyond while watching our dog Finn! Not only did she make sure Finn was fed & walked, but she also helped to train him & teach him new tricks! She was also very communicative and sent us lots of updates and photos while we were away. Thank you Tatiana! We will be booking with you again soon!
Helena was amazing! She showed up right on time, kept us updated with sweet pictures and check-ins, took Bean on a fun walk, and gave him so much love and attention. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Looking forward to having her watch Bean again.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
