About: With three years of experience in the veterinary field and starting at the age of 18 , I have successfully advanced from kennel assistant to receptionist and now to veterinary assistant. Having grown up caring for a wide variety of animals, dogs, cats, fishes, hamsters I have developed a lifelong passion for animal care. I am dedicated to making every animal feel safe in my care and building strong, trusting relationships with owners. I am available Sunday through Tuesday. I can also accommodate requests outside of these days after my shift ends, depending on my availability. Please keep in mind that I work 10-hour shifts on my working days, so I am unable to drop in for midday lunch or bathroom breaks. However, I am available for breakfast and dinner visits. To ensure I provide the best care for your pet while you are away, I ask for pet parents to write down or print out an instruction sheet for me including details like: - Pet Care & Activities: Any specific routines or activities you would like me to do with their pet. - Medication (if applicable): The exact name, dosage, and schedule. - House Duties: Tasks like taking out the trash if needed or picking up after your pet in the yard .
About: I've been around every walk of animal life for as long as I can remember. I am certified in veterinary assisting and I worked in the animal care industry for 8 years. I am knowledgeable in animal breeds, behavior, handling, and care. I understand that every animal is an indivual. I am patient and gentle, but firm when needed. I am working full time Monday through Friday, but I always have weekends and holidays free to provide your furry buddy with walks, runs, and care. I can also be available for drop ins before and after work. I have the patience to build trust between your dog and myself. I learn your pets quirks and personality. I will ensure that every experience is safe, fun, and a positive.
“Rachel helped me out in short notice and did a great job taking care of my kitties! My cats are pretty shy and Rachel even got a picture of my Wampa while I was away for the holiday weekend. I am very grateful for her help and would recommend Rachel to anyone for home pet care while you are away.”
About: What sets me apart is the amount of attention and care I’m able to give because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to spend more time with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m patient, attentive, and focus on making pets feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I’m also careful to follow each owner’s instructions closely so their pet’s routine stays consistent. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, including playful young pets that need extra attention and senior pets that may need a calmer, gentler approach. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, including feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I enjoy taking short breaks to spend time with pets, making sure they get exercise, stimulation, and companionship. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to keep a close eye on them and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care. I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. For cats, I keep litter boxes clean and give them calm interaction or play depending on their personality. I also pay attention to their behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice if anything seems unusual. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.

I’ve always had animals of my own and have also cared for the pets of close friends and family. I’m compassionate, attentive, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Weekday availability: Monday–Friday, mornings through 3:00 PM. Currently unavailable on weekends. I am a single mother of two. Student as I build my career. It would be such a pleasure to help you with Dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and loving companionship. I’m happy to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care the

I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and at home. whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or special attention for their unique needs I'm able to give pets plenty of attention, regular and multiple potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day.

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up always having them as part of my family. My current dog is 11 years old, and I’ve cared for her ever since she was just 4 months old. Four years later, I welcomed another dog into my life, which taught me even more about balancing different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Overall, I have a lot of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and animals have always naturally gravitated towards me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and will make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I am currently a graduate student in clinical rotations, which currently allows me to offer check ins and walks in the early mornings and afternoons. I am available for boarding on weekends, and can provide attentive, consistent care during those times. When caring for pets in their own home, I will prioritize safety, trust, and maintaining their normal routine. I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walking, medications, and house routes. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment so your pet feels comfortable and stress-free while you’re away.
“Cynthia was wonderful! She was friendly, professional, and very communicative throughout my holiday trip.

My German Shepherd mix isn’t the easiest dog to care for, but Zack went above and beyond to make sure both of my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. He’s responsible, trustworthy, and always on time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great hands. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Zack to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking him again in the future!”
“Gabby did a perfect job of watching our house and our two kitties who are less than a year old. She regularly sent pictures and updates, and asked questions when appropriate. This was the first sitter I have booked through Rover, so I was a little nervous before I met her, but I never once felt like I had to wonder how the kitties were doing while we were away. We will definitely be returning customers for our next trip.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life from cats and dogs to bunnies and guinea pigs. My home was always privileged to have pets when I was growing up and now as an adult I’ve chosen to care for my own as well. I absolutely love animals and see them as more than just pets. These babies are family and I will always do my best to make sure your pet receives maximum comfort and care. I am skilled in caring for both young and old fur babies and I am able to follow any specific needs for whatever your baby requires.

About: I had my dog Nala ever since I was 9. I also grew up with cats, chickens, horses and goats. I would tell I get along with all animals more than people:) Hi my name is Evan! A little about me, I’m the biggest animal lover you will ever meet. I’m 21 years old. I have worked with all sorts of animals even 1500 Ib creatures! I have cerebral palsy and am non-verbal which has led me to a calm, patient, and observant approach to pet care. Animals have always been a natural fit for me and I communicate clearly and reliably through text, notes and the Rover app. Pet sitting allows me to give animals focused, loving care in a low-stress environment which is where I do my best work :) I currently do not have a job so I have all the time to play with some furry friends!! Some of the fun activities that I can provide is taking them on fun walks, playing fetch or tug of war, or simply just chilling together. I am always checking on the pets well being and safety!
“Danielle is absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to ensure my cats felt comfortable and loved. Even my shy cat Rufus, who is usually afraid of everyone, cuddled with her.

About: Hi! I’m Alexx! I graduated from ASU and I’m 26 years old. I pet sat since 2015 and I love it! I’ve taken care of cats and dogs, both puppies and kittens. I also have taken care of fish, birds, reptiles, and spiders. I had two dogs of my own, who were like my kids. I love being around animals, and I'm very active for I was a personal trainer in college. I also have a very flexible schedule. I am very flexible and can go to your needs. I also love animals and like to be around them when I can! When I had my dogs, who are now in doggy Heaven I would feed them in the morning and give them snacks throughout the day. Both dogs were active and in great shape til they got old. I would take them on walks and adventures when I would go out, especially on hikes and car rides. I loved to spoil my babies, but in a healthy way. Not too much or too little. I am free to your needs! My work schedule is flexible/Hybrid. I’m here to spend time with loving animals and make their day a little better when their owner isn’t present. I would ask if there are any specific and special needs your pet/ pets acquire. I would ask if your pet has a daily routine or a certain schedule I need to follow.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Simi Valley
Jasmine was a great pet sitter! We have a very shy cat and in the few days Jasmine was able to form a connection and build trust that by the end she came out for pets and treats. She also bonded quickly with our other cat. She was timely, responsive, send great photos, and left detailed daily report cards. She went above and beyond and even put our ring camera that had fallen down back up! I would definitely recommend Jasmine and we would use her again in the future!
Meghan has been great as a pet sitter for my cats! After I left for vacation, I realized it was going to be really hot out for a couple days so I contacted Meghan and explained I needed her to set up a couple Fans and open the sliding doors a bit for better air circulation and set out more water for my cats. Meghan did everything I asked and took great care of my kitties, for which I am grateful.
Leaving our cats alone for the first time in a new home was stressful and Alexandra took care of everything! The cats loved her, she kept us informed and provided pictures and also took care of several packages that were left wile we were gone. I can definitely recommend Alexandra and will be using her again.
We have had Juan take care of our two cats five times and we don’t even consider hiring anybody else because he is the best! He and his girlfriend take great care of our cats and our home by providing us updates and adorable pictures of our cats. They even take the time to play with our cats, feed them treats, pet them, and ensure the house is safe. From the start, they’ve been great with receiving information about taking care of our cats and are very polite and adaptable when receiving new updates. We’ve been very grateful for them and would highly recommend!

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.

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.
