“Kim is great with our senior dog and our "go to" Rover sitter. She is very responsive and a good communicator. We recommend her without hesitation! Thanks, Kim!”
“Cannot recommend Kallie enough. She was so good with our puppy. She asked if we had anything that we were training and if we would like her to also work with him on it. We felt so comfortable knowing that our boy was being physically and mentally stimulated in a loving way while we were gone. She provided wonderful communication with every visit. She was so kind and thoughtful. We look forward to hopefully seeing her again!”
“Jennifer checked in on my two senior cats for a week and we couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. Both my cats are on medication and with their age I worry about them constantly. Jennifer was great, I was very comfortable leaving them in her hands. She was excellent with communication, send pictures and volunteered her time to come over once before we left town. Would be happy to hire her again!”
“Emoni is simply a wonderful caretaker for my dog. My dog comes from abuse and is super reactive, but she took to Emoni quickly and they became fast friends. My anxiety about finding someone who can care for my pups when I’m unavailable has been squelched and I’m so glad I found her. Highly recommend her to anyone needing pup care.”
“Thank you Kara for taking care of Gabby! She loved her visits very much. She’s a happy girl! Appreciate your posting photos of her playing and walking. We’ll book with you again when we are here.”
“Lauren was wonderful and I cannot stress that enough!!! It felt so good to be gone on vacation knowing that she was there to take care of all of our fur babies. They were happy healthy and so happy in every picture she sent. She did an amazing job. She sent pictures every day and messages with any updates on how they’re doing and what they did. (Good or bad LOL) I will definitely be using Lauren in the future and I will certainly recommend her for anyone in my area that needs a great pet sitter. Lauren thank you so much!!! You are soooooooooo amazing!!!”
“She came immediately during my last minute booking and went above and beyond for my pups! She’s a dog whisperer, I highly recommend her to anybody who needs pet services!”
“We were visiting Fredericksburg and needed someone to come our rental house one day and let our dogs out while we day-tripped out of town. Leslie was quick to respond to messages leading up to the pet sitting and did a great job with our two fur babies! She sent us great photos and was very informative with what happened during her stay. I would absolutely recommend Leslie for any Fredericksburg visitors who need a pet sitter for day visits.”
“Mckaylee did an amazing job caring for our dogs! She sent daily updates with photos, and it was clear they absolutely loved her. Our dogs usually struggle with separation anxiety and usually don't eat much when we're out of town, but with Mckaylee, they ate every meal without any issues! Highly recommend Mckaylee for any of your pet care needs! 🐾❤️”
About: I have been taking care of pets for a very long time. Bathing, brushing, soothing, walking, etc. I don't have much professional training experience for other people's pets, but if you tell me what I need to do when I have your pet in my care, then I will make sure it gets done. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I work full time so I am usually only available to board or day care on the weekends or when I take a break from work. I will update my schedule before hand though and we'll often be available on holidays. I can do dropins a few days a week. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog. She loves other animals. If your pets are aggressive to other animals, then let me know. I will try to accommodate as much as possible by keeping them in a separate room.
“Becky was great with my dog Bones! She made sure Bones had everything she needed and played with her to get some energy out. She was happy to do everything I requested for Bones, and she was very punctual and friendly. I would definitely book Becky again, Bones loved her!”
“Robyn was great. We got stranded by weather circumstances and she continued to visit our pets until we could get home two days later. Competent and efficient and the kitties were happy and purring upon our return”
About: I treat every paw friend with genuine concern, attention and love! Taking care of them how I’d want others to treat my little fur babies! I am currently a full time college student at the University of South FL Tampa campus! I can drop in 3x a day before / after my classes! I treat every clients home respectfully and carefully, making sure no one comes home to a dirtier or messier house than when they left !
About: I have years of experience between animals, livestock, babies, and senior care. I breed Australian shepherds and Japanese Akitas, and currently own chickens. I do own my own house and with a decent size fenced backyard. I’m available all day of the week. If I have to step out, I have cameras all over my house and around my house. I have a fenced yard, cameras all over the outside of my house and in the inside as well. There is always someone at my house.
“5 STARS!!! Jennifer was AWESOME!!! I couldn’t have asked for better care for my dog! She went above and beyond to stay in touch with me and let me know how Waco was doing. She’s the best!!!”
“Hayley did a great job with the drop-in visits for our two pups. She sends great pics of them enjoying some outside time and scratches. She's was flexible with their schedule and great with our specific instructions. Would recommend and will use Hayley again.”

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Santa Clara. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
