About: I've taken care of pets for neighbors, friends and family. I cherish the trust parents and pets put in me because trust is priceless. I want a pet parent to have a worry-free trip if they need to be out of town. I love to spend time with pets and care for them in every possible way, from their diet to their physical and emotional well-being. I've had to take some pets to the vet during a parent's absence and that's why I appreciate and require having care guidelines and vet contacts. I do take pet sitting seriously. I'm gentle, reliable and respectful. I currently have flexibility and can take care of your pets easily. I'm happy to stay overnight at your home so they can keep the same routine and stay in the comfort of their own home. I currently cannot provide pet services at my home. I can provide care for your pets in your home environment. I am respectful in every way, from your beloved pet to your beloved home.
“Elvira did drop ins on my two cats while I was away, they are shy cats but did come out to play with her which is a huge compliment. My extra cautious girl cat even allowed Elvira to pet her!”
“Athena did great job at taking care of my boys. She made very cute reports from my babies daily and I looked forward to them each day. I am happy with her service and will book again when needed”
“This is our third time booking with Ching-Yuan, he was prompt with accepting our request even though it was last minute and took care of our two cats and provided them love & attention while we were on vacation. Highly recommend Ching-Yuan for his reliability and clear communication while we were away to provide us peace of mind that our fur babies are being taken care of.”
“Taylor was absolutely wonderful, I asked her to visit three times while I was away and she made sure to update me every time. She got along well with my skittish cat who usually hides from strangers. She is very thorough, and checked on his feeder as well as followed-up with me to make sure I got home to him safely.”
About: I have had pets my entire life from birds and reptiles to small rodents and, of course, dogs and cats! I’ve worked in veterinary care for over 5 years and look forward to being your pet’s best friend. I am new to the area and currently job searching so my schedule is quite flexible! I am happy to do morning, afternoon, and evening drop ins and walks. I approach each pet with patience and take care to make sure the animal feels safe and loved. I am trained in fear-free practices and make sure to use them in all pet-related situations.
“Alissa did a great job with our dog! She took good care, closely following all instructions and sent a bunch of updates along the way. We would definitely use her again. Thanks a lot Alissa!”

About: We are an animal loving family. We love and have taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, Guinea pigs, rats, reptiles, ferrets, birds, and more. From when I worked at a vet hospital at 14 to helping my daughter rehome the rats she bred during the pandemic, there is little I haven’t faced in animal care and husbandry. I can feed and care for any animal you want me to care for as long as you give me directions for their care. I work part time and spend the rest of my time making sure your animals get exercise and fun. Have been around all kinds of animals all of my life. I am happy to make visits or stay overnight in home as needed. I like being company for animals and keeping them comfortable when you are gone.
“Rendell was amazing with my cats. In addition to the standard care he was able to catch Darcy and give her the medication. He finished by washing the pet dishes, going beyind my ask. I can home to happy cats and didn't have to worry about my ailing cat while I was gone.”
About: With 5 years of pet care experience, I specialize in puppy care, house-training, and positive reinforcement. As a proud parent of two young pups—including an energetic Australian Shepherd—I deeply understand puppy behaviors, teething, crate training, and social boundaries. My background working in early childhood education has also equipped me with extreme patience, high alertness for safety, and a natural ability to structure a fun yet secure routine for pets. Whether your dog needs gentle guidance, playful enrichment, or senior comfort, they will receive undivided attention and love. As a graduate student, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am available for multi-day boarding, daycare, and overnight stays. Because I study primarily from home, your pet will rarely be left alone and will enjoy constant companionship, timely potty breaks, and plenty of structured mental and physical stimulation throughout the day. Safety is my absolute highest priority. I maintain a secure, dog-friendly environment fully adapted for active puppies. When welcoming guest pets, I ensure slow, supervised introductions and keep a watchful eye on play dynamics. I strictly follow your specific feeding, medication, and training instructions. Daily photo and video updates are guaranteed so you can have complete peace of mind while away.
About: Hi! I'm Kate, a marine conservationist who loves to pet sit! I work remotely and have 20+ years of experience caring for animals in vet. hospitals, animal rescues, grooming salons, and also in their own homes. Rest assured that your animals will be loved and properly looked after while under my care. My schedule is very flexible because I work remotely and choose my own hours in a part-time capacity. This allows me to spend ample quality time with whatever pets I’m currently caring for! :) I worked for 3 years as a Kennel Assistant at Radnor Veterinary Hospital while in high school and used to treat sick animals that were boarding in the hospital over the weekends. I was responsible for giving all medical treatments while the veterinarians were away on weekends: injecting insulin, managing IV's, treating open wounds, managing medications, etc. for the sick animals boarding at the hospital. After that, at Main Line Animal Rescue I specialized in socializing abused animals (dogs & cats mostly). I have many years of experience caring for dogs, fish, cats, birds, lizards, and exotic animals / wildlife. Whether you need someone to take your pup on a walk during the day or need a pet sitter to stay at your place with your babies overnight while you are on vacation, I'm your go-to pet sitter! I've been dog sitting for 20 years now. I also worked at PetSmart for a summer as a dog washer and nail clipper. I'd love to meet your pets and you! My services include overnight care, daytime pet sitting, and dog walking. If you're interested in my services, please message me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks for considering me as your pet sitter! Hope to hear from you :)
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, including senior dogs who need extra attention and gentle care. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing medication when needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m attentive to details, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or extra cuddles, I focus on giving each pet personalized care based on their needs. If your dog has energy to burn or a place to rest, my home and care is the place to be. I have had a lot of experience with puppies and senior care. Also experience with anxious dogs. My personal pet is also awesome with other dogs. I am really quick at responding and always open to a meet and greet. I have full availability. My main job right now is caring for fur babies. I have a 20lb poodle named Sheiwei (she-wee). She loves the company of other dogs. If your dog wants to play; she’ll play. Or take a nap next to each other. 💤 Sheiwei is great with company! We just lost our other 18 year old poodle due to old age in March of 2026. We love walks, park, and relaxing. Or a nice car ride through Sunnyvale! Depending on what you’d like we can accommodate your pets needs. I can take care of your dog overnight or during the day for doggy daycare. I’m very flexible with pick up and drop off times! I’m here to help. 🐩 I have a small/medium fenced yard which makes a good running pad for small and medium dogs. My safe pathway neighborhood we can walk a few times through the day. Or we can take it easy and stay home if the necessary. Dogs welcomed in the home and furniture. I have dog stairs for our couch. I monitor the dogs while they eat and make sure they eat their food and not the other dogs. We spend a mix of time inside and outside, but if it’s too hot; we’ll enjoy the AC. Usually we have shade in our yard. Also it’s concrete and fake grass. I have the house dog proofed, so it’s a safe environment. We have extra beds, toys, bowls, treats, and leashes. We just want the space to feel like home for all the fur babies!🏡

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sunnyvale
Jennifer was a great cat sitter! She is very experienced and familiar with cats. I found that she was very detailed and followed our care taking instructions perfectly. Our cat is very shy but she was immediately friendly with Jennifer. Thanks for taking care of Coco!
Michelle took great care of my two cats during my vacation. She visited them once a day, made sure that they had enough food and water and that their litter box was clean. She also kept them entertained using their favorite toys, always took pictures, and provided a daily report. I'll use her again when similar needs arise in the future.
lucy was FANTASTIC!!! i generally have pretty bad anxiety when traveling for long periods and being away from our kitties, but i felt so reassured that they were being well taken care of by lucy! she gave amazing, thorough updates with very cute pics. she truly went above and beyond on all aspects of their care, and i really felt like she understood both of their personalities and needs, while simultaneously respecting their boundaries (we have 1 🌶️ cat lol).
I had such a wonderful experience with Dawn! She took amazing care of our two shy kittens and was incredibly patient and gentle with them. One of our cats is especially shy and usually hides from everyone, but she took the time to give them plenty of space and let them come out at their own pace. It was so heartwarming to see them gradually become more comfortable with her! She also sent us detailed updates and photos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was very thoughtful, responsible, and clearly genuinely cared about our cats. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter!
Mona was super amazing with my cat Bumi, and is very thoughtful with the way she took care of Bumi! She took the best pictures of my cat, and even offered extra visits in case there were any last minute requests I had. I’m super thankful for that! Would definitely recommend.
Cindy took fantastic care of the two kitties I’m fostering! They’re a little wary of new people but they warmed up to her right away. I loved the thorough updates Cindy provided for each visit, and it made me feel much less worried about having to leave the boys! The litter boxes were well kept, and the boys got great playtime and treats on each visit. Highly recommend Cindy and would definitely rebook her!

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 .

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.
