“Shayleigh was so sweet with our elderly cat. She stayed here in our home and she watered our plants and took the bennie down. She kept us updated and sent adorable notes. She left our home clean and tidy. We will definitely book Shayleigh again.”
“Kayley took excellent care of our cats and she was always here at the times we arranged. She asked questions for clarification and I felt completely confident that our babies were in good hands. I will definitely use her again.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets, especially cats, and understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment\. I’m familiar with feeding schedules, grooming, cleaning, playtime, and recognizing each pet’s individual needs and personality\. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy and attentive caring for your animals. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I’m a college student and a dedicated animal lover with a special place in my heart for cats! As a proud pet parent to my two cats, Suki and Remi, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m responsible, patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or simply making sure your pets feel safe and comfortable, I always strive to provide the same love and attention I give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I believe every pet deserves personalized care based on their individual needs, personality, and routine! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal schedule, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of love and attention.

About: I have hands on experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic young animals to seniors who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable following structured feeding routines, administering medications, and providing attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I can care for a wide range of animals from dogs and cats to birds, hamsters, and beyond. I grew up on a farm surrounded by many different animals, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care, responsibility, and understanding animal behavior. I focus on keeping pets calm, comfortable, and stress free by caring for them in their own home and maintaining the routines they’re used to. Reliability, cleanliness, and clear communication are priorities for me, and I treat every pet and home as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I attend school and run my main business primarily remotely, which gives me flexibility to plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, medication needs, and overnight stays. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to be present, punctual, and attentive throughout the day and evening. I prioritize consistency and reliability so pets experience minimal disruption while their owners are away, and I’m comfortable adjusting my availability to meet each pet’s specific needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress free. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or habitats, administer medications if needed, and give pets the appropriate level of attention and companionship based on their personality. I’m respectful of each home and keep the space clean and secure while I’m there. For overnight stays, I make sure pets feel safe and settled, especially in the evenings and mornings when routines matter most. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.
About: I've been dog walking and caring for pets for 18 years while working other jobs. I come from a family that loves animals (my parents currently have 4 dogs and a cat that I often sit for). I'm not afraid of big or small dogs or their energy. I'm a grad student looking forward to helping pet owners when their lives get busy. I am thorough, thoughtful, great in emergencies, and love the outdoors. Thanks so much for taking the time to consider me! I am currently in grad school, and my schedule is flexible outside of Tuesday-Thursday 1-5:30pm. I work part-time, but I have spare time I'd love to spend hanging out with your pet, either outside for a happy pup walk or inside for a cat cuddle. I believe in treating people's pets as if they were my own. I respect every person and pet I interact with. Safety is a number one priority for all. I am comfortable in all kinds of situations due to my work experience. I'm calm, empathetic, and present when interacting with owners and pets alike.
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats over the years. I absolutely adore these little animals. I recently lost my dog-ter and I miss her cuddles. When I have enough time while sitting, I like to make a sketch my new little friend for their parents. It's a fun way for us to get to know each other while their family is away. I am currently free of any other obligations, so I am able to devote 100% of my time to the animals that I care for. As I will be caring for pets in your home, I will respect any rules you have for your pet and follow the schedule that you have created for them. While you're away, the best thing for them is to stay on there schedule so that they feel safe and secure.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Clara
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.
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 .
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.
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 .

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.
