“Carolina did an amazing job with my pup. She’s played with him as well as fed him. She also made sure that I was updated and communicated very well with me. I definitely recommend her and will definitely hire her again for Koda.”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs of very different sizes, ages, and needs. I have three dogs of my own, including two small poodle-Lhasa Apso mixes and one large 100-pound dog, so I am very comfortable caring for both small and large breeds. I also have experience with senior care because one of my dogs is 14, which has taught me to be patient, gentle, and attentive to changes in comfort, energy, and routine. I understand that every dog is different, and I make sure to adjust my care to what helps each dog feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I am reliable, observant, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, and I would treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily and weekly routine because I care for my own pets every day. I am used to feeding, walking, giving attention, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Because caring for animals is already part of my life, adding pet sitting and dog walking fits in well with my routine. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so this feels like a meaningful and natural way to use my time while helping other pet owners. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I would follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and any other routines the pet is used to. I would also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision so they feel secure while their owner is away. No matter the setting, I pay attention to each pet’s personality and needs, because some pets want lots of play and interaction while others need a gentler, quieter approach. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed, loved, and comfortable as possible.
About: I’m the person that tries to find the pet at the party. I’ve had experience with both dogs and cats for several years! I’m happy to help you with your child whether it’s taking a walk to the park, needing a potty break, or just overall attention while you’re away for the holidays! I'm currently a full-time student and work remotely allowing me to have more time to look after your loved ones! I have a lot of flexibility if needed. If you have any special requirements for your pet such as administering medicine, feeding, and all of the above, I will make sure to provide that based on your request! Other examples: Do they get along with other animals (dogs/cats)? Do they require going for a run?
About: I think a little backstory helps: every pet I have is a rescue! Whether from the streets, a shelter, or the "animal distribution network," I seem to be the person random animals flock to for help. My home includes two dogs (a senior Australian Shepherd/Pit/Chow mix and a 3-year-old Chiweenie mix), two rescued cats living in the lap of luxury, and a bearded dragon I saved from under a bush last year. My 5 babies all adore each other and love a giant cuddle party! I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was 6 years old in multi-pet households, so I’m comfortable with all ages, breeds, and life stages. My Approach to Care: - Patient & Animal-Led: I let pets guide our interactions and get comfortable with me at their own pace. - Enriching Walks: I completely believe in letting dogs take their time to get all their sniffs in, because walks are their time! - Full Service & Light Grooming: I’m happy to wipe paws/ears, brush coats, brush teeth, and handle any cleanups, accidents, or normal pet debris so your home stays fresh. Mostly, I just genuinely love spending time with animals and would be honored to care for yours! I currently have the entire summer off, so I am incredibly flexible schedule-wise (including weekends) and can work with you on timing and availability. I'm just happy to help! Animals set the pace in my care. Whether meeting a new dog or visiting a shy cat, I never force interactions. I read animal body language carefully, giving pets space to approach on their own timeline so they feel completely safe and secure in my presence. Safety First on Walks & Visits: - Enriching & Secure Walks: Dogs are kept securely on-leash at all times. Walks are centered around their comfort and sniffing enrichment, avoiding hot pavement during summer heat and maintaining safe distances from unfamiliar dogs or hazards. - In-Home Security: I am meticulous about home safety, ensuring doors, gates, and windows are completely secure before and after every visit. - Emergency Preparedness: Having rescued and cared for animals with special health needs (including senior pets and kittens recovering from illness), I am calm under pressure, observant of any subtle changes in behavior or health, and quick to act if an issue ever arises. I care for your home with the same respect I treat my own multi-pet household. During visits, I handle all feeding, fresh water resets, and litter box or accident cleanups without hesitation. I'm also happy to wipe muddy paws, sweep up scattered litter, or run a quick vacuum over high-traffic entryways so you always return home to happy pets and a fresh space.
“Tessa is an amazing addition to our weekly routine. She is very communicative and reliable. My dog is very shy and slow to warm, but he has been easily won over by Tessa’s care and consistency. I do not have to worry if my dog is safe or able to go outside, due to Tessa’s drop-in services.”

“Kimi did a wonderful job watching our 3 cats! She stopped by daily and gave them a lot of attention and play time and made sure the litter boxes were cleaned and they were fed. She sent us thorough Rover cards and adorable pictures (which my kids loved!). We will not hesitate to ask Kimi to watch our 3 cats again in the future!”

“Yuki is the best! She’s was super flexible in the pre-planning process, and communicative! She gave me lots of details in her Drop-In Update and took plenty of photos of my cat. Highly recommend Yuki, always! 🙌🏼”

“Carissa is super sweet and took such great care of my pups! She was incredibly communicative and sent wonderful updates so I was never worried while I was away. Thank you Carissa!”

About: Hello! My name is Brianna. I love all dogs and cats. I have become the de facto pet-sitter among all my friends and family over the last 4 years. I thought I would continue my love of pets on Rover! I've taken care of animals of all sizes; from under 10 lbs. small dogs and cats all the way to 60 lbs. German Shepard mixes!

About: I am a detail oriented and passionate pet person, I grew up in a home that always had at least one dog. I understand the importance and level of care needed to care for puppies that are still training. As well as, experience caring for senior dogs which usually included administering medication orally and helping with movement like walking up stairs, getting into bed, etc. I am currently going to school online so I have plenty of time to walk and care for your pets! I am available anytime after 7am until 5pm Sunday-Monday! I am very detail oriented when it comes to pet care, I believe that our care for our pets is a reflection of our care for ourselves. I love to give extra attention and love to my pets at home, and when I am caring for a clients animal, I treat them as my own. Sticking to a routine, attention to change in mood or behavior, and being consistent is extremely important for a pets wellbeing.
About: The birthday that I was blessed with my first puppy at age 10 is one of my fondest memories. I knew from an instant that these were much more than pets, but rather treasured companions who deserve to be treated as such. My love for these pets only grew as I was entrusted by neighbors, friends, and family members to provide care for their buddies. When it comes to walking, bathing, feeding or any other interaction, every pup has their own unique personality, and it's our job as owners to understand them so we can provide the best possible care and love for them.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Ana
Aurora is a fantastic sitter. She was very gentle and sweet with my two shy cats, and it was great to see how they warmed up to her during the course of her visits. Aurora was also very caring and flexible when one of my cats had to have an emergency procedure before I left on a trip. Aurora was more than willing to accommodate extra visits and give medication as needed. I will absolutely be booking Aurora again and I know my cats are in good hands.

Yichen provided us with detailed reports and was so gentle and caring to our cat. Our cat is a sensitive, scaredy one but she looked so calm and comfortable when we came back. We are so happy with her care and will definitely ask Yichen for help again in upcoming trips.

Nao always takes wonderful care of our cat. This was our second time booking with her, and once again she didn't miss a single detail. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and plenty of photos throughout our trip. Thanks to Nao, our cat Sasha was happy and well cared for, which allowed us to travel with complete peace of mind. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Nao again. Thank you so much, Nao! 🐱💕

My fiance (now hubby) and I left for a 2 week trip to get married & honeymoon! We had so much peace of mind that our cat, Ghost, was being well taken care of! We had her check on him daily and spend time with him. He’s a very needy boy & loves attention and I can tell from all the photos he was a happy boy! So grateful for Joey & Alex, and will definitely be booking them again for our next trip :)

Carissa was great! She was nice enough to drop by before the first booking to get familiar with the property and grab the key. She was attentive to our requests and clearly loves animals so was more than willing to give them the care they need. The updates were descriptive and attached photos were lovely to see. Appreciated her service and will definitely book again if we need a sitter!

Tessa took care of our cat Olivia for a couple of weeks while we were on vacation. She came in to visit and care of Olivia once a day. She was absolutely fantastic. She provided daily updates with photos to us. It was clear that Olivia adored Tessa and could not wait for her daily cuddles. Tessa is a kind and warm person who loves animals. I hope she can take care of our pet next time we are out of town. Tessa, thank you for being so amazing!

Such a great cat sitter! She took tons of picture, gave many updates and handle my kitten well. He still has crazy kitten energy and she was such a good sport about it. Very responsible/communicative and you can tell she loves animals. This was my first time leaving my kitten for more than a few hours and she made me feel so comfortable! Would recommend her 1000% to take wonderful care of your beloved animals.

Astrid was absolutely amazing with our 2 boys! We had no one to turn to while we were away for our wedding and Astrid was able to provide such excellent service and keep them company! We are so so grateful for her and anyone who books with her can be confident that their pets are in great hands!

Tala was AMAZING with my sweet boy! She always provided updates and photos with each drop-in visit and was always quick to respond. From the updates, it seemed that my cat loved their time together! Lots of play time and cuddles 🥰 Tala is so kind and you can tell she truly loves taking care of pets!

Andrew was wonderful. He kept us informed and updated on our 2 kitties every visit. He paid attention to details and did everything we asked him to do, and beyond. Our scaredy cat was even okay with his visits. If we were to need a cat sitter again Andrew would be by first and most favored choice. Our house, cats, and peace of mind were safe and at ease because of Andrew...I highly recommend his services.

Alexsys did a fantastic job taking care of our pets! She gave them the perfect amount of attention, ensured they were well tended to and provided us with detailed updates throughout our time away, alleviating any anxiety we may have had about leaving our pets while on vacation.

Normally, when we don't have someone able to check in on Deejay when we're gone for longer periods of time, I notice he gets stressed and really lonely (crying and sometimes gets respiratory infections/sneezing). However, after Kristine spent extra time to keep him company while we were out of town, he was brighter and less sniffly when we came back! She was also extremely responsive with sending pictures and updates and extremely attentive with questions to go above and beyond our asks. I'll definitely need to book with Kristine every time now.

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.

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.
