About: I love animals; always have! I used to come home from school and do homework in front of Animal Planet and when it wasn't doing that I was taking care of my neighbor's pets. Cats, dogs and horses and I looked forward to it every time. My responsibilities included walking, playing, feeding and even reading to them (which I have on good authority was very adorable). I'm very excited to take care of your fur babies for you! Fear Free Leader in Animal Wellbeing graduate. *Ask me about Active & Running services* **Ask me about Pet Portraiture Add-ons** I am currently taking online classes and looking forward to being with animals when I can part time. I am looking forward to meeting new pets and taking care of them in between bouts of homework and studying. I am available for most services! Including drop-in check-ins, letting dogs out to do their business or go on walks or play with your pets. I'm also available to pet-sit and keep them company while they relax in their space. After meeting your pets and learning their specific and unique needs, likes or dislikes, I am available to feed, walk, play most days.
“We've hired Melissa twice to do check-ins and feedings for our elderly cat Fuego. She has great communication, providing daily updates, responsive to questions and shows up on time. Fuego loves her!”
About: I have Maaaaaaaany years of pet loving and experience. I have had probably over 100 pets in my lifetime and know how to deal with all types of personalities and circumstances. My fur baby now has diabetes and he is treated like the king he is. ❤️ I am home by 4 every weekday and have weekends open. Very flexible schedule. I believe a consistent routine for pets is what keeps them happy and healthy. I treat all pets as if they were my own. I make sure they keep on the same schedule they would if their fur parents were home. Consistency equals comfort.
About: Hi! I'm Nicole, a lifelong animal lover with seven years of experience working at Saugus Animal Hospital and over 10 years of pet sitting for friends and family. I grew up with large Alaskan Malamute/Huskies and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I work primarily from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. My husband also works from home several days each week, so your dog will rarely be left alone. My home has a secure front and backyard, and my two resident cats are very accustomed to having dogs visit. We live in a neighborhood with beautiful shaded paseos and a nearby park, making it easy to enjoy safe and comfortable walks. I'm also a lifelong cat owner and currently have two sister cats who are the center of my world. For cat owners, I offer drop-in visits in your home so your cat can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I'm especially good with shy or nervous cats and enjoy taking the time to earn their trust at their own pace. My veterinary experience taught me how to recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort, and I pay close attention to each pet's individual needs. After walks and hikes, I always check dogs for foxtails and debris, and I'm happy to arrange a bath with owner approval if needed. Whether I'm caring for your dog in my home or visiting your cat in theirs, my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience while keeping you updated with photos and messages along the way. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work primarily from home. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, companionship, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I typically like to take dogs out for walks early in the morning before the weather gets too warm and again in the evening as temperatures cool down. Depending on your dog's energy level and preferences, we can enjoy neighborhood walks along our shaded paseos, visits to the nearby park, or even hikes on local trails. On the occasional day that I need to go into the office for a few hours or attend a work event, I coordinate my schedule whenever possible with my husband's work-from-home days so that your dog continues to receive attention, companionship, and timely potty breaks. My goal is to maintain your dog's normal routine as closely as possible and make their stay feel like a home away from home. I care for every pet as if they were my own family member. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your dog feels relaxed and at home. My home has both an enclosed backyard and front yard, providing secure outdoor space for potty breaks and supervised play. Dogs are welcome on the couch and bed if that's allowed in their home, as I want to maintain the routines and comforts they're accustomed to. With seven years of experience working at Saugus Animal Hospital, I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall well-being so I can quickly identify if something seems off. Safety is especially important to me during walks and outdoor adventures. After walks or hikes, I carefully check dogs for foxtails, burrs, and other debris that can become lodged in their paws, ears, or fur. I also follow all owner instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise restrictions, and special care needs. I provide regular photo updates and communication throughout your pet's stay so you can feel confident knowing they're happy, safe, and receiving plenty of love and attention. If needed, I can also take dogs to a self-service dog wash for a bath (with owner approval) before they head home.
About: I have been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs, cats, and horses of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, family members, and clients have trusted me to care for their pets, provide companionship, maintain routines, and ensure their safety and well-being. I am patient, attentive, and responsible, and I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I provide plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and regular updates with photos. My goal is to give every pet the same care and attention I would give my own family. I recently moved to California and am currently building a new chapter in my life. This transition gives me the flexibility to dedicate more time to caring for pets, something that truly brings me joy. I love spending time with animals, getting to know their unique personalities, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to adapt to each pet’s routine and needs. I currently provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their regular routines. I understand the importance of trust when caring for both pets and someone’s home. I am responsible, respectful, attentive to details, and committed to following each owner’s instructions carefully. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving experience for every pet while giving their owners peace of mind.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and all ages! I have some experience taking care of puppies/younger dogs. I’ll be your pets good friend :) I’m on summer break from university right now, but once I get started in classes again my availability is limited to the weekends. For now, I can work any day except Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can watch and take care of a pet in any circumstance. I am able to crate dogs too. I like to play with and bond with pets so they don’t get too bored.
“Kristine is very professional working with our dog. She was gentle and careing and our dog became very close to her. Kristine was always attentive and on time. She was a blessing when I had an extended business meeting she was able to return and cover for me. In the future I would recommend hiring her again.thank you.”
“Alyssa was wonderful taking care of our Cat, Jasper. Would absolutely recommend her. She is very kind and attentive to Jaspers needs. Was so happy to be able to leave him in good hands to go on vacation!”
“Rosemarie met and exceeded my expectations for pet services. She communicated daily with photos of Okie and Blackie as well as their report cards. I would highly recommend her for your pet services needs.”
“Brigette is an amazing pet sitter! She took amazing care of our two cats who have very specific routines and needs. They cuddled with her which they don’t even do with our family and she took great care of our home while we were away. We received daily updates with lots of photos. The cats for sure miss you. They got a little vacation of their own with lots of play, treats and attention. Thank you Brigette for all you have done for us. You are the best!!”
“Nihcole is very sweet and made me feel that my cat, Willow, was going to be well cared for in my absence. Willow ran right up to her and sniffed her during our meet and greet, so she felt safe around her. Nihcole also sent some fantastic photos during each visit - I looked forward to receiving them! I would definitely rebook with her and would recommend her for any other cat moms out there. ?”
About: Ever since I was little, I’ve had a major soft spot for animals big and small. I am the designated pet sitter for all of my friends and family, and have experience with everything from hamsters to newfoundlands. I’ve taken care of senior dogs, puppies, and am able to administer medications if necessary. As a dog owner myself, I understand the pressure of finding a good sitter and I would love to give you peace of mind! I am currently working events part time, and I pick my own schedule, so I have most days available for around the clock care. If I do leave the house it is generally only for short periods for appointments or quick outings. I am very present for the animals I care for and will spend time with them as well as feeding, walking, and playing with them. I’ve had sitters in the past for my own dogs who only came briefly for feeding and left, so I value quality time and understand they need more than the bare minimum.
“Hector was great with Wilson and followed my instructions! During our meet and greet, Wilson immediately knew Hector to be friendly so I knew I could trust him. We will definitely be rebooking!”
About: I love all animals even the initially intimidating ones. I know how to read animals signals and access their comfort level. I give each pet the time it needs to get comfortable so that I can establish a relationship of trust. I'm nether a cat person or a dog person or a tortoise person for that matter, I love all pets equally. I've taken care of virtually every kind of house, pet (including my aunt's chinchilla) thank you got something I haven't seen before? Bring it on. I'm ready for it all. I don't consider taking care of pets to be at shore or work. I take care of them because they take care of me. They keep me calm and grounded, even when things are at their most chaotic. First things first, I treat each animal as if it were my own. I make sure to give each pet the attention it deserves. Upon first introduction and the patients to let it get comfortable when needed. From there I'm happy to take care of any special requests you might require for your pet.
“Christal was great! She was very accommodating and accepted my last minute request, so thank you! She was very thorough during her visits and made sure that Yuki was able to get her daily medications. Would book again! :)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Clarita
Hire Cordelia. Full stop, you found the one. Communicative ✅ Goes above and beyond ✅ Great with multi-pets✅ My pets were running out of food and it was delivered mere hours after I left for the airport. She not only refilled their containers, but set the box up for my cat to play in. Scooped and refilled the litter box and gave real solid play time to both. A real gem in NoHo/Burbank. I will be hiring Cordelia again, 1,000%
Accommodated a last minute request for help with kindness and professionalism. She was flexible in working with our tight schedules and met every request with exceptional care. I really appreciated her detailed check in reports with numerous pictures of our cat. It helped relieve my anxiety about our cat staying hidden and isolated rather than interacting. Will definitely ask for her again in the future, and highly recommend to others!
Erin is so attentive and caring! I absolutely hate leaving our baby girl behind. She hates being alone, plus she breaks out of her onesie that covers a wound. We are so grateful for Erin sending photos and messaging us the whole way through. She knew how important it was to me to get that peace of mind. She’s amazing!
Gabriela is so great! She's conscientious, reliable, and totally trustworthy. She visited my cat every day when I was out of town for a week. Gabriela fed her, cleaned up, and sent me photos and text updates -- even alerted me that a smoke alarm needed a new battery. I felt safe going out of town. Gabriela had everything handled! I will book her again, for sure. I highly recommend her, no question.

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.

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 .
