About: The reflection of a person reflects how a domesticated animal will come to be. Thoughts like these make me want to understand more of why we were put on this world. Animals make me happy. They do things so flowingly and naturally and it’s so unique because it’s so simple. They don’t want to do it, they just do it. Each dog and cat all have their quirks and differences which is why they are so special to me being that all animals are special as well. These thoughts and experiences help me into exploring more of what I want to be as a person with animals and how this could help me to become what I aspire in being and beyond. I go to the gym almost everyday about an hour and a half. I go out most of the weekends usually between 2pm to 1am. 3 adults also live in our household and they already take care of most of the pets in our household. Every single moment counts as animals are in every single moment as well since they are being. To this moment I am still learning to understand all of my pets, they all have their differences and that is what I love so much. I have be different with each one. Adapting is such a big challenge for me because it can require a vast amount of patience and effort. Sometimes things will not go the way you want it to and that’s ok. There will always be another moment to try. These thoughts and reasons are what I want to apply when I’m studying new animals and how I can gain their trust.
About: Hi! I’m Bree. I’ve always had animals in my life, and I genuinely love being around them. I currently have two cats of my own, and I’ve lived with several roommates’ dogs over the years, which means I’ve spent a lot of time caring for different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve learned how to read their moods, understand their needs, and make them feel comfortable and safe. I also have a close friend who is a professional pet trainer, and I often ask them for advice whenever I want to make sure I’m doing what’s best for the pets I care for. Because of that, I get the benefit of expert insight along with real-world, hands-on experience. My approach is simple: I’ll treat your pets like I treat my own. I’ll talk to them, I’ll be patient with them, I’ll respect their boundaries, and I’ll make sure they feel loved and listened to. Whether it’s a gentle walk, a playful outing, or some quiet company at home, I’ll show up for them every single time. I work part time and go to school part time so I have mornings & afternoons free Monday-Thursday and after that I do attend school from 5pm-10pm those days. I work 4-10pm on Fridays -Sundays and I am available before and after those hours. I can follow any instructions needed to optimize care for your fur family. I will make sure all doors and cabinets to places they shouldn’t be in are secured and they are always safe.
“Karolina was on time, communicative, and followed the instructions given. I would definitely use her again to watch my pup. It was comforting to know my dog was well taken care of during her check-ins.”
“Emma looked after my two cats over the long weekend and has looked after them before. She is truly outstanding with them. She is very communicative and takes the BEST photos! Highest recommendation for anyone looking for someone who will care for your cats as well as you would.”
“Amy took wonderful care of our kitty while we were away. Everything looked great upon our return and our kitty was happy and content. She provided pictures and updates at every visit (2 visits a day) and we couldn’t be happier with everything. She genuinely cares about doing a great job and it really comes through.”
About: I believe my love for animals and responsible, caring instincts are what set me apart from other pet/home care providers. Caring for your furry beloveds in your absence truly brings me joy and is an opportunity to make a positive difference in your lives. What could be be better then that? My schedule is very flexible as I strive to establish myself on Rover as a pet care provider of choice. When do you need care for your furry loved ones? Let me know and I look forward to meeting your needs! I love providing a fun, relaxing and safe environment while you are away. In terms of how I do this, I follow each client's directions for keeping their pets happy and safe.
About: My family always had big dogs growing up, and I’ve had my big puppy for 9 years. We’ve been through a lot with our buddy - training, injuries, medications, you name it! So I’m comfortable providing the care that is needed for your furry friend. I currently work full time remote, taking care of my own dog. We used to take him on long walks, but he’s no longer able to manage as much, which is why I have some extra time (don’t worry - he still gets lots of love!!). I am happy to visit your home to take care of your dog. I will be respectful of any rules you have in place for your dog’s comfort and safety.
“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: 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.
“Very grateful for Jordan and her care for my Moosher. We had never been apart so this was the first tim, and I was worried. She get scared of all people that are not me but she accepted Jordan and her presence”
About: Life long dog lover. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I have a relaxed, loving and safe home for belly rubs. Seniors and Small friendly breeds welcomed. I am currently working part time mostly remote. So I have plenty time to give attention and love to your doggie. I’m available for boarding and walking. I have a fenced back patio for the fur babies. My guest have full range of the home. I have a multi poo myself and I can easily crate your dog if needed at your request.
About: Tons of dog-sitting experience! I'm the go-to dog-sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. (Walking, feeding, meds, treats, etc.) Your furry little friends never cease to bring a smile to my face and I'll do my best to keep them happy too. :) I'm a part-time student right now, so I have plenty of free time to give my undivided attention to pet-sitting. I love getting outside and taking long walks too so dog-walking fits right into my schedule. :) When dog-sitting in your home, I'll ask plenty of questions to get to know what's standard and appropriate for the routine around the house, where I can find necessities for your pet, etc. Whenever I'm over, caring for the pet, I'll ensure the environment is still safe and the pet has access to anything he/she may need. I'll also make sure I have an emergency number on hand, and will be looking out for signs/symptoms of a doggo who isn't feeling well.
“Lily did a great job taking care of my cats! She handled some unexpected issues that came up and kept me updated the whole time. I was able to take care of what I needed to without worrying about my pets, knowing that someone trustworthy was looking after them.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Juan Capistrano
Amy took wonderful care of our kitty while we were away. Everything looked great upon our return and our kitty was happy and content. She provided pictures and updates at every visit (2 visits a day) and we couldn’t be happier with everything. She genuinely cares about doing a great job and it really comes through.
Emelia took wonderful care of my 3 cats while I was away. She came by to feed them, but also took the initiative to bring a brush and a toy so that she could engage with them. In the pictures she sent, they appeared very comfortable and happy. She was successful at getting even my most distrustful kitty to play with the feather-on-a-string, When I returned home, the kitties looked content and everything in the kitty room was super clean. I highly recommend her and hope that I can use her services again in the future.
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a San Juan Capistrano stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
