“Bonnie was great handling a pretty complex situation where our dog had health issues (never happened before). I trust Bonnie to handle hard situations and navigating the dogs' care with empathy”
“Patricia was great with my two cats! Even though it was her first visit, both of my indoor kitties came out and greeted her. My senior cat, Juliet, who only likes me and my daughter, actually came out to say hi to Patricia! She truly is a cat person and will take good care of your fur babies. I’m sure I will be booking her again!”
“Michael did a fantastic job - he had no trouble with our complicated smart home instructions and had no issues giving our cat his medication. Will request him every time we go out of town.”
“Yasmin was wonderful. Caring and loving of Besitos. I know Besitos felt safe and loved because our skittish Siamese cozied right up to her. I’m definitely going to ask Yasmin every time we go out of town.”

“Melissa is a great cat sitter. She clearly cares a lot about animals and has an intuitive sense of caring for them.

I’d feel great leaving her in charge of friendly again!”
“I’m always so nervous to leave my kitty but Jasmarie was amazing and took great care of her, even giving her unexpected medicine for her skin allergy! Will definitely use her again!”
About: I am new to rover but not new to caring for animals. I have had all kinds of pets throughout of my life! Because of this, I consider myself to be attentive, patient, and empathetic. I know how it can be scary trusting a stranger with your pet but I can assure you, I'll treat them as my own. I am the type of person that points out every dog that walks by in awe! I have experience in basic training dogs & puppies. At the moment I have a Border Collie named Koffee that I co parent with my brother, this taught me how important communication is (this includes sending the cutest pics/vids of them). I also have experience with other animals, such as birds, hamsters, reptiles, bunnies, & fish! Hablo español y inglés! I work from home so pet care fits perfectly into my life! I have a flexible schedule and I am available near by on most days. I treat all animals as if they were my own and I absolutely adore my pets so I know how important caring for someone else's pet. I also understand everyone has their own ways of parenting their pets so I respect everyones personal rules. I'd love to know about your pets particular needs or wants!
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats since birth and have spent my whole life building a deep understanding of animal behavior and care. Growing up, my family raised two litters of puppies, giving me hands-on experience with everything from newborn care to socialization and training throughout various life stages. I currently share my home with three dogs of my own and I regularly care for friends' cats and dogs, both in my home and theirs. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small lap dogs to large breeds, and know that each comes with its own personality, energy level, and needs. People tell me I'm not just a dog person but also someone dogs are drawn to. Cats have been a constant in my life just as long as dogs have. I know how to read their cues, respect their space, and earn their trust on their own terms. I genuinely love every stage of a pet's life and know how to meet each animal where they are, whether that's an energetic puppy, a curious cat, or a laid-back senior. I’ve worked in human crisis intervention for over 6 years, which means I stay calm under pressure and know how to respond quickly and clearly when something unexpected happens. That same steady, caring approach is what I bring to every pet I look after. I do Rover to supplement my nonprofit career, so when I take on your pet it's because I genuinely want to be here, not because I have to be. Your pet won't just be cared for, they'll feel right at home! I work from home on a flexible schedule that I primarily set myself, which means I'm present with your pet throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. We have a fenced yard for outdoor time and can separate pets as needed, so your animal has a safe, comfortable space even with my own dogs in the home. My partner, Jen, is also available to support with pet care and walks if you are comfortable with Jen stepping in at times. Between both of our schedules, we can better accommodate recurring clients who need weekly care! There are photos of Jen at the end of my photo section. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I treat every pet like they're my own. My home is pet-proofed with a fenced yard, and I can separate animals as needed so everyone has their own safe space alongside my own dogs. I always want to know your pet's routine, quirks, and preferences ahead of time so I can keep things as normal and comfortable as possible for them. With a lifetime of experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, I'm confident handling whatever comes up, and my crisis intervention background means I stay calm and act fast if an emergency arises.
“I am so very thankful I found Cyndi! My little guy had to undergo spinal surgery, and I was so worried about finding the right person to help me take care of him now that I’ve had to go back to work. Cyndi has been an absolute Godsend, and I know my baby is in fantastic hands.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Pablo
Patricia was very friendly and easy to communicate + coordinate with. She provided thorough details and updates as to how the drop in went with our three dogs. She also sent lots of photos which was reassuring that our pups were in good hands, I would definitely book with Patricia again!
I have rebooked Michael multiple times to take care of my cats, because I always know they are in great hands. Our first time booking, Michael suggested leaving out a bowl of water next to our electric fountain in case of power outage, which I had never considered, but showed me that he was truly thinking about the best care for my cats. Thanks for always taking the best care of my cats, Michael!
I’ve never used a cat sitter before and am so glad to have come across Victoria on Rover. Being out of town for several weeks, I felt completely at ease with my old lady cat in Victoria’s care. She’s timely, dependable, and quick to respond. I will definitely keep using her as my go-to sitter in the future!
Rae was terrific and treated our cats like her own. Our two kitties have sensitive stomachs and require very particular feedings, but Rae took it all in stride. She was friendly, approachable, arrived promptly, went above and beyond that ensure the kitties were well fed and well taken care of. It was great knowing they were in good hands while we were away. Thanks!
This was a long hall being separated from Edger for a month. Te' did a great job. So many litter box refreshes, many cans to open and serve and dental treats to dispense. All done expertly. I go home earlier than expected but no reason to adjust any payout. My place was as good as I found it and Edger actually met me at the door late in the night of my return. Thanks to Te' my month out of California ended peacefully and calmly.

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 Pablo 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. 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.

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.
