About: I’ve been around pets most of my life! I currently have two kitty’s of my own and have helped care for my dad’s cats and dogs since I was 11. I’m experienced with feeding, playtime, and giving lots of love and attention. I work Monday through Friday from 8–5, so I’m available early mornings, afternoons during my lunch break, and the rest of the evenings during the week. Weekends are more open, which means your pets get plenty of extra love, playtime, and attention! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I make sure every pet is cared for, and secure, whether that means giving them space or extra cuddles. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and love I give my own, keeping things clean, safe, and stress-free.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve worked in a dog boarding/daycare environment, so I’m very comfortable handling multiple dogs at once, reading body language, and making sure every pet stays safe, happy, and well cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, whether that’s high-energy playtime, slow and gentle walks, or just a calm environment with lots of attention. I’m especially mindful of pets who may be nervous, older, or need a little extra patience. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any special care needs, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away. I also have experience working as a dog bather and would be happy to provide baths during your pet’s stay. This includes a full bath, rinse, and dry to get your pup clean and fresh; however, I do not offer haircuts or grooming trims. I’m comfortable handling dogs during bath time, including those who may be a little nervous, and I always aim to keep the experience as calm and stress-free as possible. I treat every animal like they’re my own and truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I have a very flexible schedule and am available anytime throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine and needs, whether that means early visits, multiple check-ins, or last-minute bookings. I’m happy to work around what’s best for you and your pet to make sure they get consistent, reliable care. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets in their home environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure doors, gates, and any entry points are securely closed at all times to keep pets safe. I pay close attention to routines and surroundings so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar space with minimal disruption. I’m mindful of each pet’s behavior and body language, and I take steps to prevent stressful or unsafe situations before they happen. Whether it’s managing interactions between pets, keeping a calm environment, or sticking to specific feeding and medication schedules, I make sure every detail is handled with care. I also respect my clients’ homes and privacy. I keep everything clean, organized, and exactly as I found it, and I always communicate clearly and promptly so you feel confident and updated while you’re away.
“Elizabeth took such great care of my anxious guy who has been having a hard time after our recent move. We did a longer drop-in and she comforted him with pets and reassurance while I was out. He didn't work himself up into frantic stress while I was gone, and we are working to make him feel more comfortable and safe in our new space. Would 10/10 recommend Elizebeth for anxious pets, separation anxiety, dogs going through any kind of transition, etc.”
“Without a doubt Jessica is the person for you! And your pet! She was on time, followed all instructions & loved our pet 100% we did not even meet get face to face. Jessica followed specific written instructions & did it 100% on task - we have cameras inside & she definitely can be trusted sight unseen. Thank you so very much for being there when we needed you.”
“Justin and his family are amazing. Had some naughty puppies get into cookies right before leaving the country. Needed someone last minute to not just drop in, but take them to the vet and handle more blood tests. They jumped right in and I’m so grateful for them.”
“Krisanne and Gaston took such great care of our timid kitties! They also kept our house nice and clean and went above and beyond to take care of things while we were out of town.”
“I love working with Dana so much! She is such a consistent and reliable sitter. It's clear from the picture updates and rover cards that she is fully engaged during her visits with my cats, making sure that their needs are met while I am away. Thank you so much always!”
“She is very attentive and communicative. Sent lots of pictures and videos. Definitely cares about my cats and their wellbeing. Overall very happy. Thanks again!”
“Tessa is always on time, respectful of our home, goes above and beyond, sends tons of pictures, great with communication and details with check ins. She is wonderful and we appreciate her!”
“April helped watch my cat, Spot, and did a great job. She gave regular updates for each visit, sent lots of pictures, and made sure he was fed and had company when I was gone for my trip. When I got back he was happy and healthy. I would recommend April if you are looking for a pet sitter in the area.”
About: I first fell in love with caring for animals with my family dog, who I cared for and loved throughout my childhood and early adulthood, including as a senior dog. I’ve lived with and loved cats as well. I’ve also volunteered at a local shelter with dogs, and I loved my time there. Currently, I dog and cat sit for friends and family, and I would absolutely love to provide the best care for your pet! Pet care works well with my schedule. I work a hybrid remote job, which allows me to work from home for majority of the day. This means I’ll be readily available to care for your pet throughout the day. I love going on walks and spending time outdoors, and am happy to take your pet (dog) with me! I understand that inviting someone into your home takes a lot of trust and communication. While caring for your pet in your home, I will always follow any instructions left for me, stay respectful and courteous, and communicate via photos, texts, or calls- whatever works for you!
About: With years of experience caring for pets, I’ve provided reliable dog walking and sitting services for friends and family. From daily walks to overnight care, I ensure pets feel loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. Your furry friend will enjoy personalized attention and plenty of exercise! I love capturing the unique personalities of pets through photography, and I’m open to exploring opportunities to work with owners on pet-related projects as well. I have a very flexible schedule at this time. Please feel free to reach out and see what services will best fit your needs. Thanks! Your pet’s safety and security are my top priorities. I maintain a high level of responsibility and respect for your space. I will follow all provided instructions, secure doors and gates, and keep a close eye on your pet to ensure a worry-free experience for both you and your furry companion.
About: Ever since I was little I have been able to connect to animals in a certain way and understand them. The strays and the neighborhood dogs and cats always seemed to love me and I bet you will too! I will definitely leave a mark on both you and your pet. I have most days and nights to be with your furry friend. Just ask away and we can set something up for what works best for you! I am strictly based on what your pet desires to do. No matter they want to play, go for a walk, or even nap. I won't be harsh and I will never make them do what they don't want to.
About: I have taken care of dogs for five years now. Friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs. Some call me the dog whisperer. My wife and I work from home and love taking g pups on walks! Your dog will be well cared for and given the intentional attention it deserves. I am very careful when it comes to leashing a pet and making sure they feel safe in each environment we encounter. Playtime and energy expenditure are key!
“So grateful that Katie was able to come by last minute and spend some time with our dog while we were visiting her town. I was grateful for the pictures and that I knew my dog had some snuggles while we were gone that day.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Clara
Elizabeth was marvelous! She took wonderful care of Zazzle the big orange cat. He took to her immediately and enjoyed her company and daily brushing......I know because she sent me really great photos and he was smiling! We had lots of communication during the week and Elizabeth is now on my favorite people list . I highly recommend her as a pet care provider. She communicates well, is not afraid to ask questions or seek guidance , she is thorough and professional takes great photos!
I could not be happier about the drop-in services provided! We came home to a calm, happy kitty who could not wait to tell us all about his new friend. In fact, we think he wants us to leave again 😊. We got a ton of pictures every visit, and they happened at the same time every day so kitty was able to keep to his regular schedule. I honestly cannot say enough positive things! We’ve already made a return booking for a future trip.
We love Jessica caring for our fur babies so much and she does such a great job that we don’t worry anymore about our dogs and cat while we’re gone. She is amazing! And we also love the fact that our pets are comfortable while we’re gone knowing Jessica will care for them. They love her too!!!
Hailey did an absolutely amazing job watching our cat. Our cat is incredibly shy and usually hides from everyone—even family members who have known him for years rarely ever see him. We honestly didn't expect him to come out at all while we were away. To our surprise, Hailey somehow won him over! Not only did she take great care of him, but she got him comfortable enough to come out and interact with her. We joke that she must be a cat whisperer because our cat normally doesn't like anybody, yet he trusted her. It's clear that Hailey is patient, kind, and truly understands cats. Knowing that our shy little guy was comfortable and cared for gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a reliable and exceptional pet sitter!
April helped watch my cat, Spot, and did a great job. She gave regular updates for each visit, sent lots of pictures, and made sure he was fed and had company when I was gone for my trip. When I got back he was happy and healthy. I would recommend April if you are looking for a pet sitter in the area.

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 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.
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.
