“Vi took excellent care of my cat while I was traveling and is an absolute professional! From her flexibility to arrange a meet up over hectic travel schedules, to her attention to detail around care instructions, Vi made me feel comfortable that my cat was well loved and cared for while I was away. Thank you!!”
“I had a potential emergency with my beloved Russell and she was able to make an extra, last minute stop over while I was away and mediate the issue! Russell is happy and healthy again! Thank you!!”
About: Hi, my name is Selena, and I have been caring for animals, including dogs and cats, since I was 18 years old. Before I started pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, I had my own pets growing up. I had a black cat named Blacky as a child and a terrier mix named Hope, who sadly passed away in 2023. Both of them were deeply loved, and they are the reason I have such a soft spot for animals. When pet sitting, I always follow the rules given to me and pay close attention to any indoor and outdoor allergies. My goal is to have fun with your pets while you take care of your busy day. I'm excited to meet your furry companions! I am a college student but fully online so I am flexible during the weekdays. I do have a permanent part-time job but as summer season arrives I will be working less hours during the summer.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities . I provide dependable, loving care and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed) and lots of affection. I understand the importance of keeping owners updated, so I send regular photos and messages for peace of mind. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always prioritize safety, comfort, and a positive experience for every pet in my care. I’m available for overnight stays on weekends, and weekdays after 3:00pm, so I will have plenty of time to spend with pups! Walks, check-ins etc. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and special needs so they feel secure and cared for in the comfort of their own home. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and other routines to keep their day consistent. During walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses, stay aware of our surroundings, and always prioritize safety. I also treat your home with respect, keeping it clean and secure while you’re away. You’ll receive regular photo and text updates for peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in caring hands.
About: With me your pet will be a family member, one of us. He or she will go to places with us instead of staying home alone. I got my first dog at the tender age of eight. Been a pet lover all my life. I have provided pet sitting services since 2016, been taking care of both dogs and cats. Everybody in my small family loves pets and cares for animals. We live in a house in Newport Beach, in the middle of parks and greenery where there is plenty of space for walks and runs. In our home pets are allowed on the furniture and in the bed. Please have your pet potty trained. Looking forward to taking care of your pet. Thank you.
“Garrett was amazing. He was patient with my puppy and even was able to put her harness on, of which I couldn’t do without a fuss. Now she sits and lets me put it on no problem. I will definitely hire him again and again. Highly recommended him to anyone.”

About: I worked at The Bone Adventure and have experience in dog behavior awareness/body postures, group supervision, feeding routines, animal safety, time management, and cleaning/sanitation. If you’ve ever sent your dog to The Bone Adventure, I already know them by name! ;) I am currently working VERY tiny two hour shifts during the week on certain days that I am needed. I should be pretty flexible unless told otherwise and I’ll always make sure that I can be accommodating for my clients! I am a very fast learner and it helps me out a lot if my clients can write down their pets feeding schedules, priorities, triggers and general behaviors in certain situations. This is so that I can keep their dogs’ needs and safety in mind and never mix up their priorities with other clients.

“We loved Kayla! We hired her to water our veggie plants twice a day while were were out of town. She showed up on time the morning before we left. She was polite, attentive, and had lovely manners. After we returned from our trip, it was clear that she had taken excellent care of our plants. Everything looked great! I would absolutely trust her with pets and would hire her again in an instant.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Ana Heights
Mabel did an amazing job watching our cat while we were away on an international trip. She was super responsive, provided frequent updates, and left us feeling reassured that our cat was in the best possible hands. At one point we had a mishap with our auto feeder and Mabel helped us get things sorted seamlessly. Our cat loved her and yours will too!
Kristen has done an excellent job watching my dog Buddy. I have used her multiple times and she is timely and gives great updates. Most recently, my plans fell through and I needed someone last-minute. Kristen was prompt in replying and had been very accommodating overall. I would certainly recommend her to my family and friends.
Vi does a great job looking after my two cats Zoey and Ruby. She sends thorough updates and plenty of pics which is always appreciated. She is polite, responsive and does a great job cleaning up any mess that my girls might make. I highly recommend Vi’s services!

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.
