About: I have been caring for animals since I was a child. I started pet sitting when I was 8 years old for our neighbors when they went out of town. I cared for their dogs, and a few litters of puppies. I have a deep rooted love for animals and their quirky personalities. I grew up with lots of animals in the house, multiple cats, frogs, and fish. I also spend lots of time at my aunt's house where they would have several dogs at a time. Playing with the dogs and running around the yard of some of my foundest memories. I currently have two cats, Mischka (13) and misty (12), and a dog Mikko (4). I’ve always been passionate about caring for animals. I have a B.S. in software engineering from CSUSM. A few years ago, I was living in NH, during that time I worked with Live Free Animal Rescue as an active foster. I was able to foster several dogs until I found their forever home I’m currently between jobs so I have plenty of time to devote to caring for dogs and cats, plus I love to walk! In constantly working with my own dog on her obedience and mostly frequent businesses where she can join me. My dog is friendly toward people and other dogs. She loves to play! Since we live in an apartment, we frequent walks, and always have a leash on her when leaving the apartment. When caring for people’s pets, if I’m doing a home visit, I always check fences and doors to make sure their pets are secure.
“We have nothing but high praise & gratitude for Makenna. She came on time everyday & both of our girls took to her so well. Highly recommend & we have her booked again & will do in the future. We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
“Thank you Miss Tiffany for all the care, love, attention and daily updates on BB. You are a kind person. We are so happy plus lucky to have found you on Rover! See you again sometime in the future. Bruce and Linda (Oceanside)”
About: Thank you for considering trusting me with your pet! I promise to care for them like my own. Safety is my number one priority. I took care of my friend’s 2 dogs and 1 cat for 4 years! I lived with my roomate’s cat for 6 months. I love to take them on walks, give them meals and treats, and of course play and pet them! I can’t wait to meet your pet! I would love to drop in on the evenings Monday-Friday or anytime Saturday and Sunday. I love walking and running, so I can take your pets on extra long or fast walks and runs if they need the exercise! Safety is my number one priority. When taking care of your pet I will follow the instructions provided for walks, meals, play, and anything else!
About: I've always loved animals and understand how important it is to leave them with someone you trust. I'm naturally patient, calm, and attentive, which helps me connect with pets of all kinds and make them feel comfortable. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or keeping them company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm happy to follow your pet's routine and keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I am currently on summer break so I am available for the month of July weekdays and weekends. Mornings, midday, evenings. Overnights are also open if needed! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities. I know every dog has their own personality and needs, so I’ll take the time to make them feel comfortable while following your care instructions closely. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, medications (if needed), or plenty of love and attention, I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own. I’ll also treat your home with respect, keep everything clean and secure, and send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands.
About: I got my first dog at the age of 8 and frequently had to take care of her over weekends when my parents were gone. More recently i have two cats of my own and cat sit for family friends frequently. Im currently working a part time job as a lifeguard at the wave waterpark, i like to visit the animals im caring for either in the morning or evening but i always set aside at least 30 minutes to play with and engage the pets im caring for. I dont have the room at my current house to board animals so i like to go and care for animals at their house. I will feed them and take them outside for the bathroom if they are a dog or if they are a cat i will change the litter for them. After taking care of all of that i like to play with the dog or cat!
About: I rescued my first dog at just six months old, sparking a lifelong passion for caring for animals. Now, I have a playful yellow Lab who has been a joy to train! My dogs mean the world to me, and as a frequent traveler, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. That’s exactly the peace of mind I hope to provide for you! With affordable rates, plenty of love, and a safe, welcoming environment, I’d love to be your pet’s home away from home. I work full-time but come home during my lunch breaks to check on my pups, ensuring they get attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for boarding any day of the week, but if you prefer that I’m home all day with your pet, that option is available on weekends (Friday–Sunday). Let me know what works best for you, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs! I care for pets in my home by prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness. My own dogs are well-trained, and I ensure all pets in my care receive the same level of attention and structure. Daily walks are a must when the weather is safe, but on colder days, we have plenty of space in my large basement to run, play, and burn off energy. Pets are truly family to me—they’re welcome on the furniture as long as they’re potty trained and respectful. And of course, cuddles are always encouraged at bedtime!
About: I’ve been watching dogs for several years and genuinely love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re out of town. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic or prefers a calm presence, I’ll provide dependable care and a lot of attention! My schedule is flexible and I am open to last minute services. I work from 5am-2pm so I am available my days off (which change) anytime and my work days I am available after 2pm. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I value communication and will keep you updated with photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for! Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority. I follow any instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. I take time to build trust with each pet and ensure they feel secure while with me. I will treat your pet as if they were my own!
About: Hi I'm Emily! Having spent my younger childhood growing up in the mountains, I developed an early appreciation for nature and absolute love for animals. My grandma and I used to watch animal planet together and one of our favorite shows was animal cops. Seeing the rescues and transformations inspired me to get involved in any way I could to make a positive impact for animals and people. I often house/pet/babysit and have worked as a camp counselor, teachers aid, and girl scout leader which has made me great at organizing chaos! I enjoy getting involved in the community and have volunteered to benefit family rehabilitation centers, women's shelters, feeding San Diego, as well as several independent animal rescues, including frosted faces who specialize in care for senior dogs. I have at least 10 years of experience of pet care and home sitting. I strive to make each visit special and fun by introducing play, exploring the greet outdoors, and attending to specific care needs while relieving any potential stress a pet may be experiencing. Thank you for your consideration and I would be honored if chosen to care for your companion :) I have a schedule that varies due to a full time job but I am willing and flexible in finding solutions to fit the need of your pet. I strive to provide the best care for every pet and home by taking special measures to ensure the safety of both. I request care instructions from all owners to accommodate every individual situation.
“Kylie had visited Mocha three times now and she's always been awesome and super communicative! She took very good care of Mocha while we are away at work, drained Mocha's excessive energy out and kept Mocha a happy and tired dog. Would recommend her to take care of your fur baby while you are away. :)”
About: I have dog sat for weeks at a time for family friends, and been referred to others. It is important to me that I take care of and love on dogs like they’re my own! I have experience with puppies and dogs in the process of learning new skills. I work part time and I am home from college for the summer! My work days end at around 1pm and the rest of my day is free to take walks/go to parks, and spend some time outside. I have two dogs that I love dearly and are great with other dogs. My family are all dog lovers and are always happy to meet new fur babies! When house sitting I make it my priority to follow they’re lead and make them feel as comforted as possible!
“Callon has an amazing connection with rabbits! Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic! He truly cares for them and did a great job communicating and sending pictures to me while I was away. He went above and beyond to care for our bunnies, bought them extra fresh food and helped get supply’s for our new babies. My bunnies had a great time with Callon and I will 100% hire him anytime I need help with my rabbits.🐰🐰🐰”
About: Hello! First off, THANK YOU for considering me to be a potential sitter for your dog/cat. I took a 2 year break from Rover, but I’m back and ready to spend some time loving on your pets. 🥰 A few things about my care - I enjoy going on walks, to dog parks and even on hikes for those who enjoy them! I enjoy a good game of fetch and I spend a lot of time outside - so your pets will too! I’m currently working from home, so I have the ability to give your pets as much attention as needed! In addition to dogs/cats I am willing to give care to any other animals that are in your home. I personally have experience with fish, bunnies, hamsters, and geckos!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - San Luis Rey
Megan is absolutely wonderful. We know our kitty, Scoops, is always in good hands and well taken care of when we go out of town. It makes traveling so much easier knowing we have someone like Megan checking on him. Thank you for the wonderful care and peace of mind you provide. We appreciate you!!
Mary is a wonderful choice for a pet sitter. She took great care of my senior cat. My cat is usually pretty shy, but she instantly warmed up to Mary, and I received several lovely photos of my cat playing and getting some loving attention. I look forward to rebooking with Mary, and I would recommend her to anyone!
Absolutely fantastic drop in sitter for my cat. 100% recommend & she will remain my #1 choice when I go out of town. Her professionalism was my first impression. When she came to my apartment to get the key and meet my cat, she brought a notebook to keep track of all the info she needed to remember. My cat also decided it would be "funny" to play a game of hide & seek in my house while I was away. Victoria genuinely cared enough to check everywhere (including with neighbors) & even changed her schedule to find her just in case my cat had become lost outdoors. She notified me quickly about the situation and was fully transparent about what had happened. (Thankfully, my girl eventually came out of hiding when her name was called!) There are not enough genuine and trustworthy people in the world whom you could trust with your beloved pet but Victoria certainly is one of them!
Callon has an amazing connection with rabbits! Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic! He truly cares for them and did a great job communicating and sending pictures to me while I was away. He went above and beyond to care for our bunnies, bought them extra fresh food and helped get supply’s for our new babies. My bunnies had a great time with Callon and I will 100% hire him anytime I need help with my rabbits.🐰🐰🐰

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
