About: I've owned pets since I was a kid, from Aussies to Pitties to cats. I love all animals and their unique personalities. I'm here to help you care for your fur family, from walks to feeding, to sitting. I'm very patient and reliable and have open availability to be here to help when you need it. I'm currently have a very flexible work schedule and am looking to help keep myself occupied as well as another source of income. I'm a single mom of a High School Senior so I have lots of free time to devote to your pets. I'll provide care for your pet in your home. I'll feed, water, walk, entertain and clean up after; however snuggles and pets are free. If your pet has special needs like meds, diet, mobility restrictions, I'll gladly help as needed as well. Your pets will be in good hands.
About: Everyone on here walks, but does your dog need an extra workout? I am willing to stroll, walk, play, and even run with your pup! I have two family dogs (Santita and Elphaba) who I love running with. While my living situation does not allow pets, I would be delighted to walk or pet sit your fluffy friend with the same respect, love, and care as my own. For walks and check ins, I am available in the mornings through 4pm everyday. My August/Fall schedule has not been confirmed as I will be starting a new job. Don’t let that stop you from reaching out, I am very flexible and am sure we can work out a schedule that fits your pets’ needs! Please contact me for more information on overnight stays. I will keep you notified on our events throughout the walk or stay. I will ensure your pets have enough water and food before I leave. Any kennels are locked and toys are put away. I double check kennel and house locks and wait a few minutes to make sure the pups don’t get out.
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my senior dog, who needs medication twice a day. Soyoung always shared photos and provided regular updates on Toto’s condition, which gave me great peace of mind. I would love to book with her again in the future.”
About: I have pet sat for over 10 years, caring for all kinds of animals — dogs, cats, rats, and more. I've been a pet owner my whole life, so I deeply understand the bond between a pet and their family, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I have taken care of dogs of all ages-old dogs who need medication and young dogs who need plenty of exercise and playtime, so I am fully prepared to adapt to your pets needs. I'm active and love the outdoors, so your dog will always get plenty of walks, playtime, and fresh air. I am currently working part time and have a lot of availability throughout the week and weekends. I can be there whenever you need, morning or night, as well as throughout the day. I do not have any pets at home but I have a great backyard with plenty of quiet residential streets around me that are perfect for walking your pet!
“Robyn did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Camilla who warmed up to her instantly! She takes great photos and provided excellent communication so I felt like I always knew how Camilla was!!”
“We had a great experience with Hejie! She is very patient, attentive, and professional, and also incredibly kind and friendly. She sent us lots of photos and updates, which we really appreciated. Most importantly, our cat absolutely loved her! Highly recommend, and we would definitely book with her again.”
“Suzanne did drop in visits for our kitty while we were out of town, and she did a fantastic job. She was super attentive during the meet and greet and clearly connected with our cat during the first introduction. Our cat was immediately at ease and comfortable with her. During the drop-ins, she showed up at the time scheduled, followed our feeding and litter box instructions to a T and sent cute photos and left great notes in the app. She also brought in a package for us, which we appreciate so much! She spent the full time that we scheduled with our cat, which we appreciated immensely. Also, this was my first time using Rover, and Suzanne really helped me through the process even when I didn’t know how to schedule multiple days and then didn’t realize I had to confirm the booking. Suzanne was patient and coached me through it. I wholeheartedly recommend her. She is reliable, personable, clearly has a way with animals and is so good with cats!”
“We had a great experience with Hsuan-Chu. She took such good care of our cats and really spent time playing with them, which they loved. Clove is usually pretty shy and nervous around new people, but she actually felt comfortable with Hsuan-Chu and even warmed up to her, which meant a lot to us. Cumin also enjoyed spending time with her and clearly had a great time playing. Communication was easy, we always got thoughtful updates, and we could tell they were both happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again.”
About: With 7+ years of cat care experience, I’m gentle and confident with all kinds of medication, including syringe feeding. I love making cats feel safe and loved, and I offer two private rooms for quiet, stress-free stays. I work from home twice a week (Wednesdays and Fridays), so I have plenty of time to care for cats. On other weekdays I’m available after 5:30 PM, and weekends are fully open! I have two sunny private rooms for cats to relax in, and I’m experienced with giving meds. Feeding, playtime, and litter box cleaning are all part of the routine — plus a fenced backyard for some safe outdoor fun!
“Xi is a pro. They were punctual, followed all our feeding and caring instructions perfectly, and kept us updated the whole time. It’s a huge relief knowing our dog is in such capable hands while we’re away. Will definitely be booking again!”
About: I have experience with: 🐶 Puppies (potty routines & reinforcing basic training) 🐾 Senior dogs requiring patience and gentle handling 🦴 Special feeding schedules and dietary needs 🐕 Multi-dog households and safe introductions I have a secure fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and exercise. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and routines to ensure each dog feels secure and cared for. You’ll receive regular photo updates so you can feel confident and relaxed while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like one of my own — with patience, consistency, and genuine care. PPet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Aside from quick errands like grocery runs, I dedicate my time to caring for pets, which allows me to be home for extended periods and provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays, and I’m flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups. Because I structure my schedule around pet care, your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches. I prioritize regular playtime, walks, feeding routines, and calm rest periods throughout the day. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happily engaged while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured home environment with a secure fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor play. All introductions are done slowly and carefully to ensure a positive experience, especially since I have had dogs and cats of my own from when I was a child and understand multi-pet dynamics. I closely monitor behavior, energy levels, and interactions at all times. Pets are never left unsupervised outside, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and special routines. In a client’s home, I respect your space and maintain your pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. Cleanliness, communication, and consistent updates (with photos!) are part of my standard care. Your pet will be treated like family in a safe, attentive, and loving environment.
About: I used to be a dog tender at a doggy daycare and board facility. I watched larger groups of dogs for hours and helped with overnight boarding, meals, and medication. I am a student athlete and full time college student but have mornings, afternoons, and evening time to care for pets! Weekends are often free and I’d love to be able to care for animals when I’m available. I love going on walks and being outside to make sure pets are getting out of the house and getting exercise. Also making sure to interact and play when them often when inside with them.
About: Hi there! I am Monique, and I’ve been a dedicated dog lover my entire life. Growing up in a home with large breeds like American Staffordshire and Pit Bull Terriers, I learned early on how to handle dogs with confidence and care. Currently, I’m the proud owner of a 5-year-old Australian Cattle Dog who I’ve raised since she was a puppy. Because of her, I have a deep understanding of high-energy, highly intelligent breeds and the mental stimulation they need to thrive. I’ve spent over four years working with a local trainer in both individual and group obedience settings, so I am very comfortable reinforcing positive training habits and managing different temperaments. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet, so my goal is to provide you with total peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I am also comfortable and happy to administer medication if your pet has specific health needs. Beyond my own pup, I have extensive experience pet-sitting for a variety of breeds, including German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Beagles, and Pugs. Whether your dog needs a brisk hour-long walk to burn off energy, a quick drop-in visit, or a cozy place to stay overnight, I’m here to provide reliable, attentive care. I treat every dog I sit as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-exercised. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion! While I work a 9-to-5 job, I am fully available for morning and evening care, including walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I do have open availability available Friday and Saturday. Whether I am visiting your home or hosting in mine, your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. At my home, I have a fenced-in yard with artificial turf, providing a secure space for play. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s preferences—if they are used to lounging on the couch or sleeping in a bed, they are welcome to join me! If your dog is crate-trained or simply feels more secure in a crate, I have one available to make them feel right at home.
“Li took fantastic care of my two cats! She sent daily updates with photos and information about the visit and was very proactive about checking that everything was as it should be. She worked well with the cats and got them to trust her and respond with affection despite being a new person to them. It is reassuring to have someone like Li taking care of them when I can't be there!”
About: I enjoy caring for dogs and cats and always treat every pet with patience and attention. I am responsible, dependable, and careful about following each owner’s instructions, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, and other daily care needs. I am generally available in the afternoons and evenings, which gives me plenty of time for drop-in visits and pet care. I can also adjust my availability depending on the day and the needs of each pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and routine. I make sure pets have fresh water and food, keep doors and gates secure, and give them plenty of attention while respecting their space and comfort.
About: Hello! I have spent my whole life living and caring for dogs. From newly rescued puppies to well-lived seniors dogs, high maintenance runners to backyard loungers, I have experience caring for all ages and types of dogs. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets!! I'm currently working part time, but I am available in the mornings, at lunchtime, and the evenings to tend to any needs. My time is also opening up to being very open at my internship ends in August. Caring for pets in clients homes is a very attentive experience for me. I love to spend time, walk, play, and care for your pet exactly as needed!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Clara
Anke always takes great care of Sammy and Tilly. Even on this trip where I didn’t have cell service and had to rely on satellite communication, she kept me informed, including reporting not just on their bodily functions but also their demeanors. We had a bit of a misunderstanding surrounding food storage but she was very apologetic.
Soyoung is such a wonderful and trustworthy pet sitter. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with, which gave me so much peace of mind\. She also spent quality time playing with my cat and clearly cared about making sure my cat was happy and comfortable\. On top of that, Soyoung is genuinely kind and lovely, and I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my cat. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!
I’ve booked Carissa 8 times now and will continue to do so. She is very reliable and communicative. I always look forward to reading her very detailed and colorful reports along with funny pictures of my cats. She is also very attentive and vacuumed up litter that had tracked around the house without us asking her to. There was an instance where she figured out how to turn on the water valve (which I forgot I shut off) to refill the water fountain. She also brings in packages without us asking her to. I trust that my cats are in good hands when she comes over.
In the 13th hour, after having a sitter cancel on day 1 of my trip, Meara was incredibly flexible and was able to make room in her schedule to help care for Chicken and Pookie. While the kitties were under her care, she invested time to get to know them. She went above and beyond to not only communicate their needs but their emotional states. If you're looking for a sitter that cares and love your pets, Meara is the person for you!
Stephanie is so great with our cats! One of them is really shy and usually hides under the bed, but Stephanie is so patient with her and always makes sure to leave her a little treat. She really goes above and beyond, and I always feel good knowing our cats are in her care. I would definitely recommend Stephanie to anyone!
We absolutely love Saida! She takes great care of our 3 cats (granted, ours are pretty easy) and her affection for them is plain to see. She spends the full 30 minutes each visit, and they look content when we return. This was our 2nd time with Saida, and I'm looking forward to a 3rd!
Best sitter ever!! Very attentive to my cat’s needs, she does what it takes to make them comfortable around her, and ensure they are doing good in my absence. Followed all of my instructions to a tee (and my cat takes multiple medications). I will Definitely be using her again!! Highly recommend!!
I requested Sydney to check in on Eevee for a week on short notice and she helped me out immensely. She actually put in the effort to make my baby feel comfortable and she warmed up to her in no time. Sydney also sent me multiple pictures of these checkins daily and helped put my mind to ease while I was away from home.

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. 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.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
