About: My experience with animal care has billed the following: Dogs, cats, birds... the list goes on! I do not shy from the messy, the sassy, the lazy, or the energetic, I've seen it all! I have specialty in caring for younger animals, having nurtured lots of animals into adulthood, even with the absence of their parents. One such example was when I had a litter of puppies in my care: two out of the seven puppies had unfortunately contracted parvo, but because I was their caretaker, they not only had successful recoveries but the other healthy puppies stayed healthy all throughout. No matter what, I've got you covered! Important note: Wednesday is my busiest day of the week! While I am still available, I cannot guarantee it. I'm currently on a part-time work schedule, so anytime in the morning, early afternoon, evening, or night is perfect for me to visit your pet! Even at work, I will go during my lunch to ensure your pets are A-OK! I never let pets out of my sight no matter what, especially for supervised activities (walking, out in the yard, etc.) I am willing and able to provide near-constant updates to ensure your peace of mind, and I treat every home with the utmost respect and leave it better than how it was. I have extreme patience with pets, and can reliably sense and match the energy they give out, i.e. I will never make a lazy dog do more than they comfortably want to and I will never do less than what an extremely energetic dog wants. I have a husky mix, so I know how it is!

My schedule is flexible, and I can work around your pet’s needs. I’m available most days for check-ins, feeding, and spending quality time with your pet. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I follow all care instructions closely, keep things clean, and make sure your home is secure. I’m patient, gentle, and make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable.
“My two precious babies were well taken care of. Leticia communicated with me effectively and put me at easy. I would most definitely be booking her again and would recommend her care to anyone who has any fur babies.”
About: I have 4 dogs myself and even own a gecko. Fostered kittens when I was younger and just recently raised a litter of 3 puppies, each now 9 months old and healthy. Have experience in grooming as well. Currently a Cal state student looking for part time work, studying to be a Psychologist or a behavioral technician. I honestly love animals and although I do have dogs, I miss being around cats, want that job so I can pet and meet new animals. Have been an owner to an elderly dog, adopted her at 10 years old and she was the sweetest, have owned and sheltered animals temporarily and have house sitting experience including bathing, grooming, feeding, and playing with animals.
About: I have had a passion for caring for animals since I was a child! I have volunteered at a veterinarian’s office and a wetland animal rehabilitation center, and was in an animal protection club in college. I love animals, and treat them as my own family. I am currently a college student, so I will have a set schedule always! I will be free most weekends, and some week days depending on classes. I will be free most nights, and am willing to work on homework while watching your fur-babies. I have one cat in my home, and I keep her safe by keeping dangerous items out of reach, and keeping her environment safe. I am aware that animals can get into things they shouldn’t, but it is all about the environment you put them in. I will keep a close watch on what your animal is doing, and what environment they are in.
About: I’ve had my cat for 5 years now, and im the one who deep cleans his litter box, washes food bowls, clips his nails, bathes him, gives him pills, and even apply eye medicine. I love my cat, and just spending time with animals in general. Im a full time student, but after my classes Friday im normally free for the weekend. Im available to any time Fridays after 7:30pm until Monday 10am Off school like during summer I’m pretty much available most of the time. Like mentioned in my profile, I take care of my cat at home when im there, treat him basically like a son. I like to feed him freeze dried single ingredient treats, and he never misses a vet appointment. I’m really timely for him, and I’ll be timely for your pets.
About: Throughout my life I have had all kinds of pets, from bunnies to iguanas. I really love caring for animals because they are a part of my family. Currently my family has 2 cats and 2 dogs which I care for and love dearly. I take them on walks and to the beach, i would treat your fur baby as if it were my own. I'm currently an intern at the Museum of Latin American Art in downtown Long Beach three days out of the week and really enjoy it. I have a really nice schedule and work from 9-3. I do have another part time job that is mainly weekends but they are super flexible and I mainly close 3-10. I really enjoy dog sitting because I like spending with animals after I get off work Whenever I am watching over a clients pet I also make sure to keep an extra careful eye on them because I know that the absence of their own already has them on edge. I just want to be able to give you a safe peace of mind and don’t worry I will send pictures for updates. After dog sitting for quite some time I really do enjoy becoming a dog or cat safe person

Janalee was an amazing sitter for my cats. She dropped-in twice a day for 6 days and fed them, made sure they had water, took care of litter, and played with them. They got lots of cuddles and pets, and seemed very happy. The cats were in a great mood when I got home. Janalee was so prepared and your fur babies will be in good hands with her.
Just got home and we were received by healthy happy dogs and cat. Brianna did a wonderful job of taking care of our three furry babies. She followed their/our routine down to the last word. Very efficient but mostly kind and patient with our furry babies. Definitely would book with her again. 5 stars all the way.

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.

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 .

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.
