“Jessica took such great care of my 2 kitties while I was away for work during her drop-in visits! My cats are normally very shy but I was shocked to find out that they came out for Jessica. She sent me detailed visit summaries and pictures. She not only took care of all the chores of cleaning the litter boxes and checking on food and water, but she also spent time playing with the cats. Will definitely seek Jessica again next time I am out of town.”
“Jacqueline was great! My pup loved her & he looked so happy in the photo updates she sent. Aston has a lot of energy and can be a handful and Jacquelyn had no issues handling all that energy!”
“Lori was absolutely amazing to work with! As our first time working with her I was so impressed by her genuine care, attention to detail, kindness and the thorough reports she provided. Not only did she come for a meet n greet with Charlie, but also I had to extend our stay through the 4th of July which had me feeling incredibly guilty to leave a pet during that stressful time, but she was incredible with extending our booking & making the time, administering medication & ensuring he was ok. It allowed me to relax into my vacation knowing she was there checking in on him & sharing happy updates. Lori is such a thoughtful pet sitter & will continue to hire her & highly recommend!!”

About: Hello! My name is Nancy. I am a mother of a 10 lb long haired Chihuahua. His name is Prince. Through my years of raising Prince and my previous puppy Mickey, I learned a lot about how to raise a dog and how to better take care of them. I learned that every dog is different. Each and every one of our furry friends have unique personalities and endless surprises for us. This is one of the reasons why I love dogs. One important thing I learned through personal experience is that our furry friends does not like to be alone at home all day. They need daily walks, exercise, and constant love and care. Do you have a busy schedule? No worries! I can help! I'm available to board or house sit during the weekends and I can do dog walking on weekday mornings starting as early as 6 am I have a fenced back yard and a beautiful water view park across the street for the pups to enjoy long walks and potty time.
“Kyle was invaluable by looking after our reptiles on short notice that we were able to have peace of mind while abroad without having to board then. We definitely would recommend them and look forward to working with them again in the future.”
“Mike was great! We were leaving our puppy in her crate at home for the first time for a night out. So she needed a check in to make sure she was chill. Mike came over and hung with her and her big sis for an hour and shared some great photos that let me know all was well!”
“Mike is so professional and attentive to your pets needs! He took detailed notes about how to take care of my dog before the visit and then gave detailed updates from each visit. Very happy with his service!”

“My pup hasn’t really had an appetite but Sophia was able to get him to eat based all my detailed instructions. I really appreciate her help, she’s always ready and reliable.”
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, and I've been the person friends and family call when they need someone to look after theirs. Most of that has been in-home care: feeding, fresh water, litter and cleanup, medication, and staying long enough that the animal actually gets some company instead of a rushed visit. I'm newer to walking dogs specifically, so I want to be upfront about that. What I bring is patience, consistency, and attention to how an animal is actually doing rather than just checking a box. I read body language well, I'll follow your routine exactly as you describe it, and I'd rather ask you a question than guess. If your dog needs anything particular on a walk, tell me and I'll do it that way every time. I run a tutoring business and my sessions don't start until the afternoon, so my weekday mornings and midday are completely open. That makes me a good fit for the late-morning to early-afternoon window when most dogs have been alone for hours and need to get out. I'm consistent week to week, so if you want the same time every Monday through Friday I can hold that slot for you. I'm offering walks and drop-ins only. Since I'm walking your dog in your own neighborhood, my attention is on your home and your street. I double-check gates and doors going in and out, keep the leash clipped until we're fully back inside, and I don't use retractable leashes. I keep dogs out of unfenced front yards and away from other dogs unless you've told me yours is friendly and you want the greeting. I'll follow whatever routine you already have, including which door you use, where the leash lives, and whether your dog gets water or a treat afterward. At home I have a fully fenced yard and cats, so I'm used to being deliberate about containment. If anything goes wrong on a walk you'll hear from me right away, not at the end of the day.
About: I grew up around pups—my grandmother ran an animal rescue, and my grandfather had six dogs at once. Since then, I’ve been the go-to walker, feeder, and bather for friends, neighbors, and family. I’m especially great with high-energy pups and senior dogs, and I always go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy! Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly schedule. I currently walk dogs multiple times a week, and I plan my other responsibilities around their needs. Whether it’s a quick midday potty break or a longer afternoon walk, I always show up on time and give each pet my full attention and energy. In a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm and familiar environment for their pet. I stick closely to the routine the owner has in place, whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, or play preferences, so their pet feels safe and at ease.
About: I have taken care of pets for the last 20 years. I have been a house dog sitter for two German shepherds. I have also taken care of a tiny dogs while’s I’ve done babysitting and house sitting while owners are away on trips. I ha a 13 year old Pommix (my first baby). He has 2 kitten sisters (5yrs and 3 months). I recently retired from teaching elementary school for 30 years and would love to spend more time caring for furbabies 🥰. I would enjoy dropping in to play or walk pets and board pets on my home. I am a retired teacher. I spent 30 years in the classroom. I would like to work part-time caring for pets, walking them, as well as pet sitting when their parents are away. I have a fenced in yard so dogs can run and play. I also have a patio being built on my porch for cats who like the outside. My neighborhood is a perfect place to walk dogs as well as stroll cats in their cat stroller.
About: My own dog is reactive so she tends to get nervous with loud noises and is very wary of dogs. So, throughout the years, I’ve learned to notice specific tells and avoid things that can set her off. I’m also very familiar with dogs that tend to pull as I’ve walked the dogs of multiple friends and family before. I currently have two dogs of my own with one being a toy poodle and black labrador/shepherd mix. Both dogs are completely different from each other as their temperaments differ in which one is dog selective, vocal, and prefers people. The toy poodle is very social with people and doesn’t mind other dogs and is fairly relaxed. I have also done cat sitting when my cousin goes on vacation where I do daily check ins to her home. I am currently looking for a film related job as I begin to learn about my major so I have lots of free time. I am usually available in the mornings to noon. I can even do a bit more after noon. However, I do like to maintain a balance with my own dogs and caring for other people’s pets. Nights are possible mainly on the weekends, preferably Saturdays but depending on my schedule I can be flexible. In a clients home, I would make sure to quickly open or close the door so no pet can rush out and even before doing that I can make sure they are being distracted so they won’t get loose. This still applies to a home with a fence because cats are lithe creatures. I also like to make sure to ask the client if the pet has any behavioral concerns that I should keep in mind and if there is any supplements they have that they would like me to implement into their pet’s meals. Energy levels is always something that I like to inquire about as well so I know what to expect.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Pasadena
Joanna went above and beyond to make sure my cat Stevie was taken care of and happy! You can tell she has a natural energy that makes animals feel comfortable, she was professional and communicative with me, and she proved to be exceedingly thoughtful throughout the process. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!!
As someone with 2 cats and who takes trips often, I always get a little anxious when I leave them alone. This was my first time using Rover and I'm SO happy I found Joy. She made the whole process so easy and straight forward. She watched my cats for 8 days and I felt so at ease on vacation. She sent me updates and photos and was quick to respond whenever I texted her. I would definitely rebook with Joy for my next trip!
Narin was amazing! She didn’t just make sure my cat was fed and watered, but also played with her, kept the litterbox spotless, and cleaned up the area. Narin also kindly kept me up to date with lots of pics. She is a seasoned pro and made this so easy. I hope to have Narin cat sit again.
Charmaine was great with our senior girlie while we were out of town! They did all of her favorite activities together like laps around the house and sitting on the catio. We got plenty of pictures to make us miss her a little less until we got back. We’ll definitely be booking with Charmaine again!
I can’t recommend Heidi enough! She was able to accommodate my very last minute request and was absolutely wonderful with my kitty. I was able to feel at ease while I was away. It was such a relief knowing my cats were in such good hands and getting lots of love and attention. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing cat sitter! 😊🐾
This was our second time booking Sydney, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She is excellent with our two cats and so attentive to their different needs and personalities. She was also great with giving medication! Her pictures and reports on her visits were so good and always a delight to receive.

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.

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.
