About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I have experience caring for both a cat and a small dog, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to details, making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment, make sure pets have fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort and keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.
“Julia is amazing! She cared for Shadow who has behavioral issues with so much patience and care. She was very attentive to him and she sent video and picture updates. I fully trust her with my fur baby and would definitely schedule with her for all my dog sitting needs. I highly recommend!”
About: I have been watching over animals since I was a teenager. As I have gotten older I realized I have passion to watch over dogs and cats. I enjoy their presence as vice versa. There is no dog to small or big that I cannot care for. I am a pet owner as well I have a cat who is animal friendly do both cats and dogs. I provide the best service in the area as your fur baby is like my own. Your pet won’t be sitting alone wondering when someone’s coming back. I’m home throughout the day, which means consistent company, regular feeding, and someone actually present — not just checking in. Previously, even when I was working outside the home just 10 minutes away, I made it a point to come back during breaks so pets were never left too long. Now that I work from home, that presence is constant. I also have three cats of my own, so your dog will have calm, curious company if they’re open to it — and most are once they settle in. Flexibility is something I genuinely offer. Whether your schedule shifts or you need accommodations, I’m happy to work around what’s best for your pet. There is a few dog areas in the complex as well trails and parks to take your dog to for exercise as well to use the bathroom. My apartment is safe free and non-smoking environment.
About: Since I was a child, I cared for many animals and pets on my family's farm, and in the last 15 years in LA, I've had my own pets and all my neighbors and friends come to me for pet care while they are out of town! I work as a part-time plant science consultant, I am a mom of a 10-year old human and an 11-year old doggy, I have a flexible schedule and love to be active, so pet care fits in nicely! I have a secure and fenced in back yard and many comfortable spaces for dogs all around the house. Cats are not a good fit in our home, unfortunately.
About: I have had both dogs and cats at home since I was born. All of my pets right now, a dog named Apollo and two cats named Raven and Karma are rescue animals that my family has saved. Since moving away from home for college, I have missed my pets and want to take care of any animals I can! 🤎 I am a dancer living in LA, and having recently graduated college, I am searching for new ways to fill my schedule! I have a very flexible routine right now with lots of availability every day and on weekends! 🤎 I have a car that I can take your pets to the park or beach in, or I can take them outside or around the neighborhood if preferred! I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood that I would be happy to bring them to with a park right down the street. 🏡
“Jaclyn was great with our boys, and incredibly accommodating. We contacted her last minute for a surprise business trip and had no issues at all with getting everything squared away.”
“Tori is so patient and thorough. Her love for my kitty never wavered even when she had to clean up vomit a couple times. She's a true professional and lover of animals, I fully trust her anytime I need to be away.”
“My poor kitty had accidents all over the house while I was away and Lauren stayed to help out. Great service & my more reluctant cat seemed to warm right up to her.”
“Jackeline was communicative, prompt, and thorough. We so enjoyed her pictures and are so happy with the sweet care she provided to our cat and kitten. We will be booking her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Liz. I spent several years in the pet care industry at a high end pet supply store that specialized in celebrity dog walking and pet services. During that time, I gained experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also worked part-time as a groomer and had the opportunity to learn dog behavior and training techniques from a highly respected professional trainer. Beyond my professional experience, I’ve also cared for my own senior dog through illness, which taught me the importance of patience, attention to detail, and compassionate care. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a long walk, extra playtime, medication support, or simply a caring companion while you’re away, you can count on me to provide dependable, attentive care. I currently work part-time, which gives me availability after 1:00 PM on weekdays and most weekends. As a freelance TV producer, my schedule can vary depending on the project, but I do my best to keep my calendar updated and communicate availability clearly. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play, potty breaks, and plenty of fresh air. Inside, pets are treated like family and will have a comfortable, calm environment with lots of attention and affection.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sherman Oaks
Marina did a wonderful job! She was very friendly, easy to work with, and kept me updated the entire time. If I ever leave on another vacation, I'll make sure to see if she's available. If you have cats and want to make sure they're well looked after, please consider doing the same!!
Jennifer was the absolute best. I get so anxious and overwhelmed with leaving my special needs cat when I need to travel, but she was so wonderful with her and came right on time every day to bond with her, give her medication, and send detailed updates. I'll absolutely book with her again!!
Heaven was right on time, respectful, kind, and communicative. She was wonderful with my senior cat and handled a long list of medication and care instructions with such grace. I really appreciated her visit and look forward to having her care for my cat again.
Bethany is a caring and thoughtful person. She watched our cat for 8 days (longest we’ve ever been away from our cat) and she took the best pictures and made sure our cat was happy and had company. I can’t recommend Bethany enough, she loves animals and is extremely reliable.
Minerva did such a fantastic job. I was a little worried since we needed her to care for a lot of pets with different foods, but she handled it all gracefully. She was also very accommodating to the times we needed her to come. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is detail oriented and trustworthy, your search can end here! Thank you Minerva!

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.

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.
