About: Caring for your pets just like Stella! Stella is My angel, my baby, my everything my French Bulldog! With 20 years of experience, My love for animals began at the young age of 5! From reptiles to hairless cats to big and small, young and older pups! I love every living creature this world holds and I care, appreciate and respect them because their feelings matter too! I am fully available on weekends and very flexible Monday-Friday. Contact me for any special requests! I understand all pets have a daily routine- my goal is to let them know nothing has changed when I am around and paw-rents are gone. With my many years of experience, I have mastered securing the pets safety first always! Making sure leashes, collars and or harness are secure before opening any doors or gates. A pets safety is and will always be my priority!

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life, so I have over 19 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with pets taught me how to understand their body language, recognize when they’re feeling stressed or playful, and make them feel safe and comfortable. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, feeding, giving medications if needed, or simply providing companionship, I’m committed to making sure your pet is happy, well cared for, and receives plenty of love and attention while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I’m home most of the time and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to learn their routine, needs, and personality so they feel as comfortable as possible. In your home, I will respect your space and follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, and care. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and supervision while you’re away.
“I've had to do a few last minute bookings and Carissa has been absolute lifesaver! I sincerely appreciate her flexibility and her kindness and attention to my animals :)”

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.

About: I grew up with pets my entire life. As a kid, we had four dogs in the house at once. A lab/pitbull, a German Sheppard, a boarder collie, and a chihuahua. At 21, I took in a pregnant cat who later had 4 kittens. I got them into a foster program and was later able to adopt the mom back. She had been with me for the past four years. I grew up with pets my entire life, and I love being around them! I am responsible, trustworthy and excited to work with you and your pets! I currently am going to school and looking to start going down to part time work to help my schedule. For the time being, weekends may be best for me! Once I am fully part-time, I will be viable during the days and weekends! My pets safety and happiness comes first in all my decisions. Dinner is on a strict schedule and I make sure that everything in my home is safe for her. I know the fear of leaving your pet with someone else, and because of that I want to make sure that I am the kind of pet sitter I would feel safe leaving mine with.
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 doing school online and work full time in person! I won’t be available from 9AM-6PM weekdays, but can do overnights! I’m fully available on weekends to provide undivided attention to your little one! 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?
“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!”


“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!”

About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs (mastiffs, labs, and basset hounds) since I was a kid and have regularly cat-sit for family members and friends since I was 14. From giving medicine to cleaning up accidents I’ve probably handled anything your pet could throw at me before, and if they manage to give me something new I’m happy to learn! I work full time in a corporate office so I’m available outside the hours of 8:30a-5:30p (most days) to check up on your pets. I’m more than happy to make drop in visits on my lunch if I can! I want to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible when I’m there! Treating your pet how you normally treat them is super important to me, and if for some reason I don’t think I’d be able to support your pet in their needs I’ll let you know right away so you can find a more appropriate sitter.

About: Hello! I've owned 4 dogs in my lifetime. 2 of them I've cared for until they were both senior dogs. They truly are my favorite lil buddies. I've also dogsat for a couple of friends. I am currently available from 10AM to 7PM, Monday to Friday. I can be with your pets as long as needed in that time frame. If weekends are also needed, feel free to send me a message & we can discuss details as long as I am available. I can provide dog walking, stopping in to play with pets, taking pets to the park & give oral medication to your pets. I can also provide dogsitting at your home after getting to know your pets.
About: Cared for cats and dogs of all activity levels, ages, and medical needs. I am experienced in administering medicines, following strict schedules, and making sure pets are well adjusted while their parents are out of town. I have both a cat and a dog at home and have owned pets all my life. I am passionate about pet care and making sure pets feel well adjusted. I like to spend as much time with pets as I can an make sure that they have plenty of time to get their energy out. Depending on their comfortability, I find it works best to be present in their space so they know someone is there for them while their parents are out of town. For non-overnights I check in at least twice a day and spend some time after feedings to keep them company.
“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: I have done rover in a different state for a few years and loved it! It’s such a fun gig, and best of all I get to make a lot of new fur friends. I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals, and have always had pets of my own. I can’t wait to meet you and yours! I’m looking to make this a mostly permanent job! I love pets and being able to make money while doing something I love seems like the dream to me! I can dote after your pets. I’ll make sure they’re cared for just how they need to be, and exactly how you want them to be!
About: Use this code for $20 off!- DANAP81645 Animals have always been part of my life. Growing up, our family was constantly rescuing strays, helping lost pets find their way home, and occasionally falling in love and adding them to the family ourselves. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I currently share my home with my 11 year old son, our Australian Shepherd, Otis, and our two bearded dragons. I understand how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like family. Whether they love long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I know every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so their experience feels as stress-free as possible. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I own a business, so I'm very flexible with availability during the week. Weekends I'm completely available. I will be here the whole time whenever we have visitors. I have a big yard for pups to play in. We love playing fetch or just sitting around our backyard enjoying our beautiful California weather. When we're not outside, inside our home is a calm environment.
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.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Ana
Aurora is the best! I recently moved to the area and needed someone to care for my guy and she quickly established herself as someone I can count on and that my cat loves. I’ve already booked her again. I highly recommend her. She goes above and beyond with visit reports and cleaning.

Yichen looked after our cats with great attention and care. She provided very detailed notes on each drop-in that she completed. Our kitty cats were spoiled with their special treat sachets and extra goodies we left for them too. We look forward to having Yichen care for them again in the future.
I had a last minute request for drop-in kitty feeding - with a complicated entry into the house - Shannan accepted the responsibility and went above expectations, she was exceptionally caring to Bella and had zero issues figuring out how to provide service. I have been a Rover sitter myself for 5 years, I can honestly say now I understand the value of asking for help and receiving peace of mind and the effort a sitter gives to care for pets. I HIGHLY recommend Shannan🌸 she is top notch as a Rover sitter!

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! 🐱💕

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!

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.

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.
