“Rachel was great and took such good care of our kitties! She really wanted to make sure they were happy, well cared for and got everything they needed. She is also very great at communicating and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs someone to take care of their animals!”
About: I’ve spent over 30 years caring for animals, and connecting with pets has always come naturally to me. Animals seem to gravitate toward me, and I take pride in building trusting relationships where they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and genuine affection, just as I would my own. I currently am working remotely and part time so I have plenty of time to care for my furry friends , Walks, cuddle time and of course play time I have a fenced yard and ample room for my pets to roam freely. They are happy , safe, and healthy. It’s the best to k ow we have a safe environment
About: My older sisters have a lot of experience with Rover, and they love to drag me everywhere with them! You can trust me with your fur baby/babies because I have 3 of my own! I’m currently a full time student at UCSC, studying cog sci and Education! I’m available for housesitting during weekdays after class and weekends! I’ll flex to your schedule :) We make sure our dog is always on leash when taking her on walks, and our cats are inside only pets. They have plenty of toys and socialization to keep them entertained and happy.
About: Safe house, attentive company, and dependable care giver with professional husbandry, pet sitting, behavior, and veterinary experience to tend to your Best Bud when life calls. Confident, compassionate care for senior and special-needs dogs. Plenty of playtime and exercise to tire out high-energy pups. Engaging, creative enrichment to keep every mind happy and active. Professional Ecologist with wildlife handling, husbandry, and behavior experience. 6 years Professional Veterinary Technician experience at local veterinary hospital. 2 years volunteering at local animal shelter. 30-year Pet Owner. Forever Animal Lover! Pet care naturally fits my daily rhythm—I’m home managing kids and household, so feeding, walks, playtime, and affection easily blend into my weekday routine. I'm home most of the day but will clear any unsupervised time with you if I need to step out of the house for school pick ups or a quick work out. Your pup can come along for the walk/ride or stay at the house until my immediate return. I can pick up Dogs in the Live Oak Neighborhood for Doggie Day Care between 8:30-11am. Weekend availability is more variable depending on what the family plans are. Your pup will enjoy a calm, structured, and caring environment within our family home on a quiet, low-traffic street in a popular walking neighborhood. With a secure courtyard and a spacious, private backyard for play, enrichment, and relaxation, your dog will have plenty of safe space to explore. Boarding pups generally have access to the house with lights out from about 9 pm to 6 am, and a potty walks right before bed and first thing in the morning while my coffee brews. Your pup can count on at least an hour of daily exercise—often more—and will be fed according to your established routine, with fresh water always available. When I’m home, pups are free to roam the house and enclosed courtyard, enjoying companionship and comfort alongside me.
“Milena was fantastic! Not only did she kindly step in to help at the last second when another sitter had to cancel for an emergency, but she was great with my cats. Even my shy cat was willing to come out for her, which says a lot! Additionally I received frequent updates and excellent communication. Highly recommend”
“Haley is so great and does such a wonderful job watching our cat (Tiny). This our second time booking with Haley and she is very nice, communicative, and easy to work with. We will definitely be booking with Haley in the future any time we have to leave Tiny at home.”
About: I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs, as well as ducks and a Tortoise. I have dropped in for a neighbor to feed and let out her cat, change pee pads and clean food and water dishes. I have boarded dogs at my place for weekends. Dogs sleep on their own beds, and have access to my yard. I work full time Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. I am available after work to dog walk, and can board Friday through Sunday. I have a large fenced in yard that dogs can freely roam in during the day and use the bathroom as needed. I have space in my living room for dog beds and/or crate for sleeping. I live close to west cliff and like to take walks down by the beach- typically I walk dogs at least twice a day unless noted, usually first thing in the morning and then later in the evening.
“Skye did an amazing job taking care of my 3 pets. They were all very calm and happy when I had arrived home. She played with my dog Luna in the yard and the pictures showed a very happy girl with her red ball.”
“Callie takes such good care of our pets! She always fits us in last minute and goes above and beyond. You can tell she really cares about making sure our pets (dog & cat) are well cared for in our absence. Even our shy kitty came to greet her.”
“Tommy cat-sit in our home for 6 days. When we returned home, our cat seemed happy and healthy and the house was in great shape. We will definitely have Tommy cat-sit for us again!”
About: I've cared for pets since I was 12. Growing up in a family with so many different critters has given me such a deep connection to caring for animals. I've cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, ferrets, and other rodents. I feel extremely confident in my animal care skills. I am currently not in school. I'll have a part-time job, so I will have plenty of time for pet care. Spending time with animals brings me so much joy! I am a very responsible individual. When in a client's home, I will respect it like my own. Getting to know how and what I need to do is very important to me and will be followed through.
“Laura was a wonderful sitter for our kitty. She was extremely communicative, gave us real-time updates on her timing and the visit, and left a great summary of her visit and how our kitten was doing with a number of photos. Laura is responsible and responsive and clearly a real lover of animals. We'd recommend her to any caring pet owners!”
“Nora is a GIFT! About a year ago my now 14 year-old cat Riley abruptly lost a significant amount of weight and bloodwork showed some kind of significant liver event though nothing was evident in an XRAY or ultrasound. He was prescribed two ongoing medications to support his liver & reduce inflammation; a small pill that needs to absorb during a fast (no food for 2 hours before and 1 hour after) and a liquid medication that needs to be given with food. In addition to the with/without food medications complexity, successfully pilling a cat every day requires a deft hand—pretty straightforward for someone who’s good at it, increasingly difficult each day for anyone who isn’t. Add to the equation both Riley and his brother Ash are initially shy with strangers. All things considered to me the situation seemed like a complicated ask for a pet sitter, so over the past year I hadn’t gone away on any trips longer than 2-3 days. In the face of a terminal illness diagnosis in my direct family I came to terms with having to hope for the best using a pet sitter for an 8 day family vacation though I was very concerned about how Riley would be affected by the extended change in routine. Enter Nora; highly intelligent, highly *attuned* (to the pets & the people), instantly trustworthy, and very gracious, a rare combination of total professionalism & grounded compassion. Though Nora was only here for about an hour each day her presence *visibly improved* Riley’s health. I didn’t know it was possible to come home from being away for 8 days to find Riley noticeably fluffier and more energetic than when I left, but that’s the magic that unfolded under Nora’s care. She also sent me pictures of Riley and Ash every day and let me know how they were each doing, sharing her sophisticated curiosity & creativity getting Riley to eat more and Ash to gradually come out of his shyness with clear warmth towards both of them. It’s extremely clear Nora *truly cares* and is keenly observant and exceptionally competent, a combination that made it possible for me to relax so much more on my trip. I’m very grateful to have found her. Thank YOU so much Nora. TBC 💗🐈🐈⬛🧘♀️”
About: I have pet care experience of at least 8 years, and I really enjoy taking care of pets, they bring me so much joy. And if you need someone who is energetic to take care of your pet, just let me know! I am currently enrolled at UCSC, so I am unable to take care of pets when I have class Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 1:20-2:25pm and Wednesdays 5:20-6:25pm. I am also unavailable on Saturdays all day. Other than that, I can fit pet care in between my schedule every day of the week except Saturdays! Since I live in an apartment with roommates who have a dog and a cat, I am unable to take care of pets at my home. However, I can pet sit at anybody’s home! I have experience doing overnight pet sitting without any flaws in making sure they’re fed and that they’ve been consistently played with throughout the day.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Shangri La Estates
Daniel and Allison got back to me in a timely manner and showed up at the expected time having no difficulty navigating our challenging road. Roland loved them and they did very well with his exuberant greetings. We’ve only met for a meet and greet but I feel comfortable that they can handle the job and will review again after some walks and overnights.
We LOVE Melanie! As former pet sitters ourselves, our standards are pretty high— none of the other Rover sitters we’d tried in the past had quite met them until Melanie! We unexpectedly had to delay our trip by a day because we got sick. Melanie promptly accommodated this change and sent along such a thoughtful message. We knew right away we were dealing with a true professional! Melanie’s attentiveness stood out right from our meet-and-greet. She didn't just ask what our cats' favorite toys were—she asked how they each liked to play with their toys. We showed Melanie our cat Plum's exercise wheel and mentioned that her favorite way to use it is with someone jogging alongside her. We never expected a sitter to adopt our silly little routine, but Melanie jogged next to her at every visit! It was no surprise to hear that Plum was greeting Melanie at the door and rubbing against her for pets by the end of our time away. Our other cat, Lyra, is a little more wary of new people, but Melanie is extremely well versed in cat body language and boundaries, and took that into account when interacting with the less-trusting Lyra. Even if Lyra wasn’t fully on board with the whole “new person” idea, she still chose to hang out nearby Melanie at all of her visits, which told us she felt safe. As anxious pet owners, we like updates that are as detailed as possible with lots of pictures. Melanie delivered in spades, providing sweet and thoughtful visit summaries with 25+ photos per visit. Her summaries went beyond the basic tasks of the visit— she let us know how our cats greeted her, how much they were eating, if they wanted pets, what toys they played with, and her sense how our babies were doing overall. Most importantly, she let us know they were LOVED. We look forward to hiring Melanie again soon!
Nicole took care of my cats when I had to go out of town last minute for Memorial Day weekend. She arrived each evening to feed them, clean the litter box, play, and fill their waters. She was prompt and kept everything clean, and she even got my super shy kitty to come out and play & made sure he ate! I would definitely recommend booking Nicole if you need pet care.
Grace was amazing!! It was clear that our cats really liked her during our meet and greet. During the sit, she left detailed report cards and sent many photos. Our cats were in great hands. She’s really on top of everything and I felt at east while away. I’d recommended her for sure! :))
Wonderful care, as always! Tula is an old lady now, but AnnMarie is so sweet and attentive to her needs. She always goes above and beyond to make sure our kitty is comfortable and safe, and our house is always well-cared for. We so appreciate the job well done!!
Makayla was a great sitter. She sent me pictures which really helped me while I was out of town. She gave my cat the space he needed and he felt very comfortable going about his routine with her. He had 3 times a day feedings with special instructions to open windows for him and let him go on my porch when she got there so he can eat grass and get a little fresh air. She followed them all to make my boy as comfortable as can be. My recommendation is to definitely hire her if she’s available. Thank you Makayla!

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
