“Booked Gina for my kitty babies and she did great! They loved her 🥰 will definitely be a repeat client. Very caring and kept me informed and updated the whole time, even offered to get them things if needed it. Highly recommend her for your furr baby needs”
About: I've spent my whole life caring for a wide range of dogs. From newborn puppies to older babies who need meds! I have experience with it all! I also have a dog that I trained so have basic training skills! In addition, I love all breeds (as long as they love my chill dog lol) I'm home everyday of the week so have ample time to care for your fur babies pets. I am able to be very flexible with their needs! I love animals more than people. They are welcome on all my furniture and even encouraged. I also have 1 very friendly, very chill dog who would love to be your dogs newest friend!
“10/10!! If I could leave more stars I would!! Maizy went above and beyond for my sweet boy and made sure he was loved and cared for while I was away:) She truly cares about animals and always goes the extra mile to make sure even senior babies or those with anxiety are at ease. Plus she’s the sweetest!! Book with her! you won’t be disappointed!!”
About: Lifelong pet parent to dogs, cats, fish, birds and hamsters. I also petsit for all my friends and love working with the big two (dogs and cats). I also have 3 years of volunteering experience with the Pasadena Humane Society, where I worked with socializing dogs. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I am available almost any day for walks, feedings, check-ins and overnight boards. I am available most times of day/night as well. No matter which pet I take care of, I act and treat them as if they were my own. Pets can feel vulnerable without their parents and I do my best to ease anxiety for an easier visit.
“Yvonne was incredible! She gave my cat extra love and cuddles. She pays close attention to details and is amazing at her job! I will a returning customer every time!!”
“Yoo Jee is awesome. I’m def a helicopter cat parent and my trio can be a handful. Yoo Jee was great with the kitties and keeping the house clean and safe. Much appreciated and def will ask her to come again :)”
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 cared for & been around dogs my entire life. From volunteering at animal shelters as a kid to dog/catsitting at my friends and families houses, there is nothing I love more than making a new furry friend. Seriously, I will stop every dog I see to say hi. And if having personalized merch of my two dogs doesn’t say enough, I don’t know what will! I am currently working on a hybrid schedule with lots of flexibility & plenty of time to bond with your pet. I also have no commitments on the weekends! I am happy to care for your pet(s) in the comfort of your/their own home! I love going on long walks and own several toys and treats that will always be on hand :)
“Victoria was absolutely incredible. It is always difficult to leave my cat behind as she struggles with separation anxiety, but I had such peace of mind during my trip due to Victoria’s level of care for her! She was extremely reliable, kind, dedicated, considerate, and communicative, and my kitty seemed so happy with her. She left my home spotless and went above and beyond to provide updates — I loved all the photos and videos. I felt like my cat was in great hands and I can’t thank Victoria enough for a wonderful experience!”
“Tiffany was wonderful! We left our cat with her for 3 weeks and she took great care of him. This is the first time we've had to leave him for this long, but she made it easy for us to feel more comfortable about the experience. She and our cat got along really well, she was super responsive, and she sent us tons of photos and videos. She was also really attentive to him and his likes and dislikes -- when she noticed that he was interested in some boiled chicken that she was feeding to her dogs, she made sure to ask us if that was something he typically liked and was allowed to eat. Additionally, she was very accommodating of his habits. She bought him a cat cave in case he wanted to hide away (he loved it), and when he decided that his favorite place to be in her apartment was right on top of her pillow, she rolled with it which was very sweet. All in all, she was a great cat sitter, and we'd definitely recommend her to others in need of someone to take care of their cat!”
About: I had a handsome cattle dog for six years (Pancho!), so I know high-energy, highly attentive pups, and I’m used to reactive dogs, dogs who need solo walks, and dogs who think poop is a snack. I know how to steer clear of triggers so walks stay calm and safe. As someone that used to own a “high maintenance” dog, I know the stress of asking someone else to care for them, don’t worry, I got you! No judgement! I'm also a regular cat sitter for my sister's three kitties, each on their own special diet and personality (they love each other, but must eat in separate rooms). I work from home, and would love to have your pet as my co-worker. I’m happy to keep routines and send plenty of photos :) Dogs, cats, and overnights welcome. I currently don’t have any pets since we recently said goodbye to our dear Pancho dog, and would LOVE to have some furry faces back in my life! I work from home, so your pet is never alone. Potty breaks can happen as often as needed. During the workday, they're welcome to nap in my office with me (was my cattle dog's favorite spot), or stretch out on the couch in the living room, or hang in the fenced yard, which I can see through the big sliding glass doors by my desk. My work schedule is flexible, so I'm happy to plan walks around your pet's routine. Otherwise, we do a long lunch walk and another around 3pm. I usually wrap up work by 3pm, which leaves plenty of time for afternoon play and hangouts. I have no other pets right now, so they get my full attention, and they're welcome on the furniture in my home. I have two fenced areas: a front driveway that's mostly concrete, and a backyard with grass and trees. My dog preferred the driveway, where he loved sunbathing on the warm concrete :) For care at your home, I'm happy to crate your dog if that's part of their routine. Cat owners, I'll clean litter boxes during drop-ins, or set one up here for overnight stays.
About: I’ve always been the person friends and family trust to watch their pets because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a puppy with lots of energy, a senior pet who needs a slower pace and extra care, or a pet that’s a little shy at first, I’m patient and happy to adjust to their needs. I pay attention to the little things, follow routines closely, and love sending updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re hanging out with a friend, not just being watched I’m currently on summer break from my job as an elementary after-school teacher, so I have a more flexible schedule and extra time to dedicate to pet care. During the summer, I work a part-time job, which allows me to provide care before and after my shifts. I’m able to plan my schedule around pets’ needs and make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m also available on weekends for extra visits, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention if needed. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in your home, I try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and get plenty of love and attention. I know every cat is different—some want constant cuddles and playtime, while others prefer their space—so I always let them set the pace. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for
About: I have been taking care of pets for a long time, especially if you include the period when I bought a collar from the dollar store and walked around the house with my stuffed dog. There is no pet that is too big or too small. You can trust that I will create some fun memories for your pet! I currently have an open schedule with plenty of flexibility to see your pet! I'm up early and ready to drop in anytime you need. Whether on a walk, a house visit, or a house sit, I am very intentional with spending quality time with limited distractions. If you trust me with your pet, you can count on me to make sure they get the best care.
“I had a last minute request since I couldn’t leave work and Leila responded quickly and saved the day!! Leila gave Sir Benjamin lots of attention & even went above and beyond cleaning out litter box & taking the trash out as well as bringing my packages inside! LOVE HER! I’ll definitely be picking Leila again the next time I need pet services!”
About: I grew up on a farm, and as a matter of course, have taken care of animals in every state and age of every type my entire life. It’s as natural to me as taking care of myself! I work part-time, so dogs get real attention during the day — not just a quick check-in between Zoom calls. Weekdays after 2pm I’m home and fully available, and weekends I’m wide open for boarding. Honestly, having a dog around gives my day better structure anyway, so it works out for both of us. I grew up on a farm — we had dogs, cats, horses, goats, you name it — so animals have always just been part of how I live. I’m in an apartment, but I’m the kind of person who actually goes outside, so your dog will get proper walks and real exercise, not just a leash loop around the parking lot. I know how to read animal behavior, I’m calm under pressure, and I treat every pet like they’ve always lived here.
“Selah did a great job taking care of our Joey! She was communicative and sent daily photos. Joey always looked comfortable in the photos she sent which was reassuring. I would recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sherman Oaks
Anya and Dana were perfect! They sent pictures and updates every day and even responded to last minute requests from my apartment building. I came back to a very content kitty, who probably barely realized I was gone. I appreciated their attention to detail during our meet & greet and they were able to give my old lady lots of love and care while I was away. I would absolutely book them again!
Kaitlin is the best sitter we could have ever asked for. She’s kind, considerate, thoughtful, thorough, and sent plenty of intentional photos and descriptions while we were gone! She’s the absolute best and we would be so lucky to work with her in the future.
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!
Dana is a wonderful and thoughtful sitter. The photos that she sent of our dog and cat showed how happy they were with her. We felt secure in our choice of sitter and would definitely choose Dana in the future. She even watered our tomatoes while we were gone! Excellent sitter all around!

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 .

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 , 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.
