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 (school generally from 7:30 AM-4:00 PM), 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 🥰
“Stacy took excellent care of our 2 cats. One of which has special needs. Stacy had no issues administering medication. She kept us updated with photos everyday. We trust Stacy with our pets and would definitely recommend hiring her.”
About: I treat every dog like my own. Having had two dogs and growing up with dogs, I understand how important it is for them to feel secure and cared for. I’m patient with shy or anxious dogs and love keeping up with playful, high-energy pups too. I’m comfortable following routines, reinforcing training, and giving extra attention when needed. You’ll get consistent updates so you always know your dog is happy and in good hands. I work full time. So my availability varies but I am open to working things out! I have some flexibility and can also be available before and after work My approach to house sitting is all about consistency, attention, and trust. I maintain your pet’s normal routine to reduce stress and keep them comfortable in their familiar space. With hands-on experience from owning two pets and a lifetime around animals, I’m confident managing a wide range of personalities and needs. I stay attentive to behavior, provide regular engagement and care, and ensure your home stays clean and secure. Clear communication and daily updates are always part of my service.
“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!”
About: I’m a nurturer by nature! I care and love all pets because they are truly family members. Being trusted with your lovely fur baby is such a honor! I’m available mornings 8-930am, lunch time 12-1, and afternoons from 430-530 for fun walk times. Available also for boarding with a week in advance notice I have access to doggy parks for both big and small dogs. I make sure all pets feel truly comfortable and get in some good play time. I can also walk if needed.
“Danielle is such a sweet dog sitter! I had to go out of town for work for a week and needed someone to come feed and play with my puppy while my husband was at work. Danielle was so accommodating, sent us daily recaps and photos, and our puppy just loved her!”
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!
About: I've had animals in my life since I was little. I connect well with them. Care is a top priority, detail oriented, focused and loving. My dog was a shelter pup and was fearful when I first got him. With love and attention, he's grown into a sweet, wonderful dog. His breed makes him nervous and sounds scare him but he's ready to be a lovebug at any time. I don't have reviews yet, but please give me a chance so I can! I work my own hours during the week PT-FT, depending on the dates. I'm off weekends. I can work with you. Hard worker. Detail oriented. Compassionate. I can follow directions based on your needs. I prefer to care for your pet in your home, where they feel safe. Trust / Safety are vital.
“All the videos and picture mean so much to us cuz we miss them like crazy when we are gone!! Thank you for giving them snuggles and letting them take turns claiming your lap 😆”
About: Growing up I always had cats and dogs and have loved caring for them. Currently I am living on a small alpaca ranch and have gotten to experience taking care of alpacas, goats, chickens, horses, donkeys, dogs, cats, and lizards which all have unique needs. Whether your pet is simple and easy to care for or has a complex routine I am excited to help in any way I can! I'm currently a full-time student so the times I'm most available are Monday-Thursday before 9 A.M. and after 4 P.M. as well as Friday after 2 P.M. and Sunday after 6 P.M. If your dog would like to beat the heat with me at any of these times shoot me a message! If you book me my sole focus will be on your pet and making sure they have a safe and enjoyable time. I have experience with large dogs and pulling and can handle any interactions with other humans and dogs the way your family prefers. I am also able to manage multiple medications and schedules for pets and will take notes on anything your pet may need.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and personalized care for every pet. I have experience with puppy training, senior pet care, and administering medications. 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. Having a flexible schedule means your pet will never be left alone for long, and they'll always feel cared for and comfortable. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! I provide a safe, comfortable environment with lots of love, playtime, and attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions.
“Perry has been an Amazing help to keep our puppy exercised while we have a crazy summer. He’s been very attentive to last minute requests and helping on long and short notice. Whether it’s a good brisk walk or just hanging out to let our puppy get out of his crate and use the bathroom, we can confidently leave home for extended hours and know our puppy is in good hand.”
About: I've taken care of many dogs ever since I was the age of ten. Neighbors, friends, roommates, and family would rely on me to drop by if needed. I have always loved animals, and I will make sure your animals are healthy and happy. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, from small to large, and I even cared for all three of my siblings' dogs at once for about a full year. My schedule is pretty flexible! Wednesdays can be pretty busy, but other than that, feel free to request a booking, and I will respond as soon as possible. With my previous dog, I made sure she lived her life to the fullest. I took her on walks twice a day to the dog park right next to the neighborhood, but at specific times. As she aged, of course I had to decrease walks or distance. We gave her medication orally. The last dog I dog sat, she had a leg injury, so I had to make sure she didn’t jump off the couch or do anything to stress her injuries. I always accommodate what the owner wants for their pets, and I love playing with the dogs.
About: I have fostered 20 different dogs in the past 5 years and have volunteered at a few different animal shelters and rescues since 2019. I have worked with many breeds (big and small) and many different behaviors and personalities. I am currently working part time so I have a lot of availability to watch dogs in your home, my home or for dog walking. I have a fenced yard and have a male dog who is super friendly and loves other dogs! The house I’m living in has plenty of room in case dogs need some space from each other as well.

Pet 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.
I can’t thank Ellie enough for noticing that our doodle might have a UTI and taking her to the vet right away while my family was out of town. I’m so grateful for her attentiveness, quick action, and genuine care for my dog. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Ellie is super communicative and truly an amazing sitter!!
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.
I can’t recommend Christian enough. He’s been amazing with my dogs…so caring, patient, and genuinely attentive to their needs. You can tell he really loves what he does, and my dogs are always happy and relaxed after spending time with him. He’s also super reliable and flexible, which has been a huge help for me, especially when I’ve needed someone on short notice. It gives me total peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dogs like their own, he’s the one. My dogs and family love him!
Shaun is amazing! She is very thorough, and at the meet and greet asked questions about things I wouldn’t have thought of. She wanted to make sure she knew all the ins and outs of taking care of my pup. Her updates with each drop in visit were perfect. She provided the usual details, but also included little things that made me know my dog was in good hands. Knowing my dog was nervous with new people, she let me know that my dog was warming up to her and coming out of her shell. It was just what I wanted to hear to help ease my mind. I will definitely book Shaun again next time I need a sitter!
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!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
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 .
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.
