“Alyssa was amazing with checking in on our two dogs—she was communicative, timely, and followed directions I left her. My dogs looked so happy! Will definitely book her again!”

“My dog can be really timid with strangers but quickly warmed up to Kayla due to her kind demeanor! Her communication is excellent and it really put my mind at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely invite Kayla to care for Dino again!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with a Labrador from the time I was born until I was around 10 years old, and since then I have had two other dogs, including a Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever mix and a Border Collie mix. Because of this, I have experience with different sizes, breeds, and energy levels, from large dogs that need strong handling to active dogs that need plenty of attention and playtime. I have also dog sat for family and friends before, so I understand how important it is to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I will always check in frequently with updates, make sure your dog is fed on schedule, take time to play with them, and give them the attention they need. My schedule is very flexible. I am home for the summer from UCSD and currently shadowing a doctor, but I am able to work my schedule around what is best for dog or cat sitting. I am available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can usually make most times work. I will always communicate clearly if I have something planned on a certain day, and I will make sure we figure out a schedule that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I will make sure they are cared for, supervised, and given plenty of attention while you are away. I am comfortable playing with pets, throwing tennis balls or toys, taking dogs on walks, letting them outside, and watching them closely while they are out. I will always follow your instructions for feeding, routines, walks, playtime, and any specific needs your pet may have. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal schedule, so I will make sure they are fed on time and cared for in a safe, responsible, and loving environment.
“Carrie did a great job taking care of our pup! We had a last-minute need and she was able to come by the evening beforehand and do a meet and greet, then come visit with Luna today at lunch. Although our dog is still getting comfortable with new people, he warmed up to Carrie and played a bit in the backyard. I'm sure I will request help again in the future (but hopefully, with a bit more lead time). Thanks Carrie!”

“Natasha went above and beyond to care for our pups while we were visiting from out of town. We spent the day at Disney, but were camping in Newport Beach. She came by several times through the day we were at the park to walk, feed, and play with the dogs. She even came to camp the evening before to meet everybody. We are so thankful for her help!”

About: Growing up we always had pets. Dogs and cats, I love both equally. I have taken care of our personal dogs from birth until they were elderly. I’m familiar with distrusting medication if needed. I’m work a few days a week. My schedule is flexible. I’m available during weekends for weekend get away. If told in advance I can make myself available for vacations. And holidays. If the dog is friendly with cats, I’d be able to board them in my house. I do live in an apartment, however, I live by the beach so plenty of walks At home I take care of dogs and cats as if they were my own. If a dog stays with me, we go on plenty of walks, water and food is always available. When I go to someone’s house, I equally take care of the pet as if it was my own. I keep a schedule so they can have consistency and not be overly stressed.

About: Hello! I adore animals of all kinds and have always seen my pets as part of my family. I've had years of experience with several sweet cats and dogs of my own. We've always rescued and found the best furry friends. For the last 10 years, I've cared for 2 sweet labs next door with frequent walks, meals, tuck-in service (bedtime kongs), and general cuddle puddles 4 days a week. I cat and dog sit for several neighbors and family members and have been doing so consistently for the last 12 years. My home is "beach cozy" (translation: small), so it's best suited for all cats and small-medium-sized dogs that enjoy getting out for walks. If you have a senior dog or cat that needs extra TLC or a quieter home, no kids, no other pets, and all the attention is on them, I am happy to provide a safe, comfy space! I work from home most days and have plenty of time to dedicate to pet, potty, and play breaks! I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most pet needs. I have experience with administering medication and daily IV fluids. I got very comfortable caring for my senior CKD kitty for over a year. Anything to make life better for these sweet souls I'm willing to do! I am a thoughtful and caring pet sitter and will take care of your fur friends like family!
About: I have always had pets growing up and love both dogs and cats! I’ve lived in socal for 10 years now and just moved to sunset beach, where I plan on getting a dog when my landlord allows it. For now, though, I’ll give your pets all my love and attention! I work a full time job and will be available some weeknights, but primarily weekends. Animal sitting, walking.. etc. I need more animals in my life and this is my first step in that direction! I treat pets better than humans in most cases, as I’m sure you do too. They are extensions of our family that offer unconditional love, and deserve the same in return.
About: I have a deep love for all animals and have grown up caring for pets my entire life. I have extensive experience sitting for various breeds and temperaments, from high-energy puppies to gentle seniors. I’m very comfortable managing feeding schedules, long walks, and providing the specific attention each unique pet needs to feel safe and happy. I balance my time between graduate school and teaching, which allows me to offer dedicated care during the early mornings and evenings. My schedule is very consistent, meaning I can provide your pets with a reliable routine they can count on. I also have wide-open availability on weekends for pet sitting and extended adventures, ensuring your furry friends get plenty of focused attention and exercise. Safety and trust are my top priorities when entering a client's home. I am extremely diligent about following all home security protocols, ensuring doors are locked and alarms are set. I maintain a clean, organized environment and strictly follow the 'house rules' you’ve established for your pets. Whether it’s keeping curious paws away from hazards or making sure the water bowl is always fresh, I treat your home with the same respect and care that I give my own.

And All the animals like me, and I have so many years experience with pet. I can easily get along with good relationships with your pets.
About: Growing up, I have always been surrounded by dogs, cats, birds, and more. As a pet friendly family, I gained a passion for caring and bonding with animals large and small. I am a firm believer that our furry friends never hide who they are and love unconditionally no matter what the situation. Pursuing my passion, I began pet sitting for family and friends in both the Southern California and South Florida communities. I have assisted with walking, feeding, playing, bathing, and giving medications when needed. I am currently working as an independent contractor with a flexible work schedule. I will be happy to work with your schedule accordingly. Looking forward to meeting your special pet. Currently, I am sharing a home with a 6 pound chihuahua and a Pit/Bulldog mix. Both pups are spoiled with lots of love and comfort. Each dog has their own beds, blankets, and toys in multiple areas of our home. Long walks and playtime are also daily activities that everyone looks forward to.
“Jelena was awesome. Couldn’t ask for more. She was flexible and responded quickly. She communicated thoroughly and efficiently. She showed up at the times scheduled and followed instructions, sent pics, and communicated before, during, and after her visits. I was very nervous using a stranger who had never met our dog before. Usually I try to arrange meet and greets. He has only been cared for by family and is big, intimidating looking, and can be a little quirky sometimes. But I was in a jam at the last minute so I found Jelena. So glad I did! She was great at greeting him and understanding how to interact with his size, breed, needs, and temperament. Jelena was conscientious and thoughtful with how she left our dog and our home after her visit. Look forward to having her return!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Surfside
Sofia took wonderful care of our dog, August, while we were away for three days. She was responsible, punctual, and amazing with our anxious pup, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated and was always quick to respond. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We can’t wait to book with Sofia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Kaylee was a joy to have as a cat sitter! It was our first time using a service like this and Kaylee made us feel very comfortable. She even set up a time to meet and greet our kitties ahead of time and get to know how we take care of them! My favorite part was Kaylee sending the daily updates with lots of photos. I looked forward to that time everyday on our trip & it was so reassuring to know that they were happy and having a good time with Kaylee! Thank you so much for taking care of our babies, Kaylee 😊

Maddy followed through with everything we asked. Reptar is a little jerk to new people sometimes but she was able to get him to come out, play a little, and become friends with him by the end of his care. He didn’t have any accidents when I came home which is the best thing I could ask for since he’s likes to when I’m out of town to make me know he’s mad with a stranger. That just shows how great she was with him. would definitely book her again!

Faith was wonderful with my three pups. From the start, communication was clear and reassuring, and it was obvious how much she truly cares about animals. Faith was also helpful and flexible when our plans changed a little and we needed to adjust our drop in times. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I got back, which says everything 🐶. I will 100% book again with Faith!

I would highly recommend Alisa and wouldn’t hesistate rebooking her services. She was communicative and easy to work with. She took great care of our pets and sent photo updates to us which reassured our smallest members of the family were well taken care of. Thanks Alisa!

Jadyn was professional, trustworthy, and communicative. When my cat first met her, he warmed up to her immediately, and I felt comfortable during the time I was away. Jadyn sent me daily updates and pictures which let me know he was well cared for, and put my mind at ease.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
