“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.”
About: As a long time pet owner myself, I know how hard it was when I had to leave my fur babies at home when I was working. My goal is to lessen that guilt and sadness for you by helping take care of your fur family while you are working or traveling. Let me introduce myself. My name is Jennifer and although I'm new at Rover, I'm not new when it comes to taking care of pets. I currently live with 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own that are all my babies. So I am excited to help you by caring for your pets while you are away. I will love and care for your fur family as if they were my very own. My services include house sitting as well for your convenience. My schedule is very flexible so I'm available anytime to help take care of your fur baby. I live in Simi Valley but will travel up to 30 miles. I follow whatever requirements you have for your pet or pets, of course within reason. After all, you know them best. I'm here to help take some pressure off you.
About: I have had around thirteen years of cat care experience, having owned four cats, a tarantula, and a snake throughout my entire life, and currently volunteer at an animal shelter. I have had a lot of opportunities to learn how to take care of cats and their body languages, so I am very experienced with knowing when to back off or if a cat wants love or pets; I also know what to look out for to prevent cat fights from happening or how to break one up. Although most of my experience is in cats, I am always open to learning new things or how to take care of dogs, and I am always willing to walk your dog or house sit for them because I am someone who loves animals and will never shy away from a chance to meet them! I am still a student right now, so I am only free in the afternoons and evenings during the weekdays, but I am totally free on weekends (minus 2-5 PM on Saturdays where I volunteer). I am also looking to get a part time job so my schedule might shift around. I will happily send you pictures or video updates of your puppies or kittens, and I am also extremely willing to play with them using their favorite toys, and I don’t mind spending extra time for snuggling sessions while I’m there! ❤️ My house is usually very quiet save for the occasional cara passing by, and the cats are allowed to wander about and do whatever they want. I will also never try to force an interaction with a cat if the cat does not want it. I brush and groom my cats if the opportunity comes up, and is open to snuggling with a cat anytime 🥰
About: I have been caring for dogs since a young age, regularly helping friends and neighbors with pet sitting and dog walking. I also gained experience working for a dog walking/pet sitting company in Sacramento, where I provided reliable, attentive care for approximately one year. After relocating to Los Angeles to continue my college education, I brought that same dedication and passion for animal care with me. I am currently studying to become a certified personal trainer, so I have plenty of free time to check in for a potty break or to take your pup on a nice long walk. I am free during the week after 10am and can be available for most weekends. I always want to make sure that the pet feels the most comfortable in their own home. Whether they are excited to see me or may be more hesitant, I always stay patient and meet them where they are at.
“She did a fantastic job looking after our senior cats once again! As if medicating two cats wasn't challenge enough, this time we added a home remodel to her list of obstacles to overcome! Jessica was awesome!”
“Danielle was a great cat sitter for us. She is very friendly and reliable. She sent us photos and videos each day of our kitties and was flexible with our continually changing schedule. Would definitely recommend. We look forward to having her watch our pets in the future!”
“Jeffrey has been a great help to us when traveling. He's cared for our dogs, cats, chickens, and even helped with watering some plants while we're gone during a heat wave. He is my go to for pet assistance when we go out of town.”
“My cat is always skittish at the beginning of boarding or any routine changes, but I could see how content and playful she looked in the photos and videos Cayley sent. I think she enjoyed the small family environment and was given everything she needed. Thank you for taking in Smoke when other plans didn't work out! We're glad to expand her circle of caregivers.”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs and have owned some myself, big and small. I grew up feeding and walking dogs for family and friends and helped with grooming. I’m a nursing student at Pepperdine University, and pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. During the school year my schedule is structured but still flexible, so I’m available at various times throughout the week. I love spending time with pets, it’s the perfect way to take a break from studying! Although I’m not currently offering boarding, I live in a house with a spacious backyard and a pool! I have a small dog, as well as three cats who stay indoors. I treat every animal that’s under my care as if they were my own and always look for their cues, whether they’re hungry, want to play, etc. I’d love to hang out, walk, and/or swim with your pups!
“Accepted my request for a last minute drop in visit. She was patient with my dog who is terrified of being around strangers when I’m not around. I just wish she didn’t let my dog pee on my couch 🙃”
“Rachel definitely has a way with my kitties. They were immediately sociable and interactive with her and she really cared about their well being. I was able to relax and know that the girls were on great hands.”
“We are so glad Tracey was available to take care of our pups while we were visiting Simi Valley and had a day at the Reagan Library planned without them. Tracey quickly figured out our dogs' favorite activities (the old one is a cuddler and the youngster is fetching obsessed). She was also great with us people providing prompt communication, darling photos, and showing up dependably. Definitely recommend her!”
“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.”

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!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
