“As usual, Pam and Kathryn did a great job with our two cats, not to mention watering plants and picking up mail. Always quick to reply to questions, and well liked by Honey Bee and Bertie.”
About: I’ve gained most of my experience working directly with animals in a veterinary clinic, where I assist with daily care, handling, and monitoring of pets. I regularly work with dogs of all sizes and personalities everything from playful puppies to senior dogs that need a gentler approach. A big part of my role is also helping care for boarding pets at the clinic. I assist with feeding, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and ensuring medications are given accurately and on schedule. This has given me strong experience maintaining routines and providing attentive, reliable care for pets staying away from home. Outside of the clinic, I’ve also cared for pets in home settings, making sure they stay on their normal routine, get proper exercise, and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to balance structure with a calm, loving environment. I am a pre vet college student right, I have lots of free time during the weekend. I am available to house sit in the comfort of your home on the weekends Friday-sundays. I also offer dog walk during the week, more availability in the weekends. I approach pet care with a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I work closely with each pet parent to understand your dog’s routine, preferences, and needs. My goal is to create a calm, secure environment where your pet feels safe and cared for. Every dog is different, so I take time to build trust and adjust my care based on their personality. Whether it’s sticking to their walk schedule, maintaining their feeding routine, or helping them feel less anxious while you’re away — I work with you to create a plan that supports their well-being.
“She did an amazing job taking care of my cats over the holidays. The daily photos showed how happy they were, she played with them, and even vacuumed their area without being asked. I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her care.”
“Morgan took great care of my two cats when I was away! Sent photo updates every visit, played with them, gave supervised outdoor time on the balcony, and also watered our plants. Highly recommend!”
“Kellie was great! She was quick to respond, on time, and very understanding/patient with our rescued shelter pup and our older dog. She was sure to update with pictures and details for every visit. Our pets loved her. We hope to use her services in the future. :)”
About: I believe dogs and cats are vital to a household, especially in mine. I also have have experience working in a veterinary clinic in addition to having my own fur babies at home. I currently in college full time at NMSU, majoring in Animal Science. I am able to be available in earlier morning and in the evening, in addition to some weekends.

About: i’ve taken care of pets my whole life, i’ve also trained a few pups in my life so i believe i could also train yours! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine, and I’m able to spend plenty of time feeding, walking, playing with, and keeping pets company throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, so I can easily work around different pets’ needs and routines. I care for pets by providing a safe and comfortable environment. i would like to optimize the pets comfort even if it’s over my own. I plan to go above and beyond since i know how important and scary it can be to let a stranger care for your loved one. Whatever the animal needs to be happy, i will do it even if it’s a little song before they eat or to be tucked in to nap.
About: I got my very first puppy when I was 8 and I raised him and trained him. He’s a big dog and at times a lot to take care of. But I love taking him for walks and doing everything else in my power to take the best care of him Pet care fits into my schedule very well I am a college student but don’t have many classes so I have time to care for dogs between the classes I do have. I wouldn’t be able to care for pets at my home. Just because I am in college and I do have roommates that are allergic to dogs.
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life, different breeds and sizes, I’ve helped with birth of puppies, nurture sick ones too. I am a dog adoption advocate.

About: I grew up with cats and various small pets and always house-sat for my neighbors and family. I've given medication before and am comfortable with timid animals. I've always volunteered at local animal shelters and cannot get enough animal time! I work from home 6am-3pm, but I am able to work from anywhere as long as there's wifi. I can make drop-ins during my lunch and use the afternoon to hang out for longer periods. I have two large dogs that are timid, so I understand how to introduce myself to a nervous pup. I don't mind cleaning up litter boxes or critter cages and am comfortable giving medications.
About: I’m not as experienced in caring for dogs. However, I am flexible and willing to learn and help out wherever I am needed. I am more comfortable with small dogs for now. I’m a substitute teacher during the school year, so while school is out, I have plenty of time to drop in to give your pets companionship and care. In my own home I do my best to always make sure my cat has several sources of water and a clean litter box and plenty of ways to entertain herself while I’m away. While caring for others’ pets I make sure to follow instructions closely and follow established routines.
About: I have 4 fury cats of my own who I love and feel like they are my world.

I have experience walking my own neighbor and friends dogs. I’m open to follow any rules you may have regarding your furry baby’s. I want you to know I’ll treat them like they are royal baby and spoil with love. I love animals and I wish I could built a hotel for pets to play and hangout while you parents are off being busy. This would also help me grow more knowledge in pets

I take time to learn their favorite spots, habits, and daily needs so they feel safe, loved, and at ease in your absence. From feeding and playtime to snuggles and quiet companionship, I treat your home with the same respect I give your pet — calm, clean, and peaceful. My goal is to make your time away feel seamless for them and worry-free for you.
About: Dogs are my best friends. Rover is a blessing in the fact I can do what I love and love to do and that is care and talk to dogs. My home and time are available 24 hours a day. For a pet owner to have a 24 hour emergency or non emergency sitter is awesome and that’s what I can provide My house is poodle proof!! I can handle when the dog is to smart for their britches and I can handle slower and meaner dogs. :).
About: I have had animals since I was a child, and I have worked in a veterinary assistant position for almost 4 years, so whatever attention your older or younger animals need, I can also provide. I am a full-time college student, so my schedule will vary between semesters, and between weeks. However, I am more than willing to verify my schedule with you if there are any questions. I live in a small apartment with my cat and reptiles, so having other animals here is not worth it in my opinion. So I have no problems with going over.
About: In the 12 years of caring for dogs I’ve gone from dogs as tiny and as chihuahuas and dogs as mighty as the Bull Mastiff. I’ve come across a variety of ages, energy levels, personalities, different medical needs, and temperaments in dogs. I am do train some basics and socialize dogs as young as possible to help prepare them long term for the world around them and set the dog up for success. I do work from home and can flex my schedule to accommodate my current clients pets to allow the maximum attention to the animals needs. I have a very open flowing schedule to allow for lots of flexibility in time to give to any of my animals. I give my dogs food later in the night, every 2-4 hours I will allow my dogs to take bathroom breaks, my dogs are usually always with me where I go through out my home or in the backyard, in situations I can’t supervise them they are placed in the crate to keep them as safe as possible. Excersize to help maintain social skills are given as often as necessary to keep the dog acclimated to daily life outside of the home.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own puppy, Draco, as well as my cousin’s and brother’s dogs whenever they need someone to help.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Pablo
We were excited to find Pam and Kat through Rover. We knew as soon as we met them that our cats would be in good hands. Pam and Kat took care of our cat while we were out of town for 4 nights. It was our first time leaving our cat completely alone in our house--our other cat recently passed away--and we were very nervous about how he might behave. The daily Rover reports from Pam and Kat were very helpful--it was so nice to see pictures of our cat playing and being happy. Thank you!

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.
