“Justin’s team did great with our mini Aussie. Visits twice a day, fed, morning walks before it got hot outside, daily pets and play. It was great to see our dog spoiled while we were gone over a week. They even alerted us when he was feeling extra low/sad missing us. They provide great service, I highly recommend them.”
“This Team is Fantastic! Everything I requested from Gaston and Krisanne was handled professionally and with a spirit of "we are here to help." I had to add days, add mail pickup, correspond from out of town, so all my wishes for my kitties, Lily & Fuzzy were granted. Photos of the day are submitted and even though my kitties are shy, I could tell they were fed, had treats, crunchy bowl was monitored...daily fresh water was provided. Please consider them for your pets care. I am definitely going to continue to support and book Gaston.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 6+ years! I have 3+ years of veterinary background at Texas A&M University and additional vet pharmacy experience from Texas Tech Health Sciences Center. I have experience administering medications including pilling and house-sitting! I am currently on remote rotation for my Pharm.D. program, so I am very flexible in my hours throughout the week! I am willing to stop by or stay to house-sit as well. I am in an apartment that doesn't allow pets, but I am willing to pet sit in your home, house-sit, or wherever you need it. I can also come in and let out the pets for potty breaks, or administer medications.
“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 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!
“Gigi was wonderful, very responsive to texts and questions, sent pics of our critters everyday with updates on the house and how everyone was doing, highly recommend!”
About: I've had several types of animals throughout my whole life so I have plenty of experience. I've cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, etc. I feel comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. My schedule is currently fairly flexible. It's easy for me to adjust my routine to care for and spend time with your pet throughout the day. I'll make sure that your pet is comfortable and well cared for while you're away. I'm happy to do drop in visits, walks, or house sitting. I'll follow the instruction given to me and keep you updated with messages and photos.
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!
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: I’m an experienced and dependable dog sitter/caregiver who loves spending time with animals! I’m flexible, reliable, and committed to giving every dog the attention, care, and affection they deserve!! I’ve watched and raised dogs of all ages and sizes and also volunteer at my local shelter :) I am currently working part time as a nanny and going to school during the weekdays. I am able to leave school partly to take a dog outside if needed :) I am comfortable with crating, feeding, picking up waste, and taking pets on walks! I’ve always had dogs in my home so I am super comfortable caring for them. I am very respectful of boundaries and am very commutative through texts and pictures/videos to ensure you and your pets feel safe!!
About: **my prices are lower since I am new on this app and the price should reflect that. That does not mean I do not have experience or that I will care any less for your family member as other sitters on here :)** -Grew up on a farm with a wide range of animals -My pups are my children and treated like royalty. Their homemade dinners are more healthy than what my fiance and I make for ourselves! -My uncle is a vet so I've got a vet on stand by for any small to large questions and needs that may arise. I work at a teen homeless shelter so my shifts paired with my fiance's job shifts make house sitting at my house not feasible. I am able to do drop in services along with walk. I value safety above all else. Your best friend will be taken care of as if they are my own. Good communication will be maintained so you are kept in the loop and not having to worry.
“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.”
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.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Clara
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!

Elizabeth was so great!! We highly recommend hiring her for any pet sitting needs. :) Her attention to detail and the time she spent taking care of our cats was so appreciated. She gave us a peace of mind while we were on vacation for over a week. We will definitely be reaching out to her when we need a pet sitter 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 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.
