“Alacia is the best! Our cat Nova seems to have officially accepted her into the family. We couldn’t be luckier to have her stopping by to look after the little one. Thank you again for everything!”
About: I am my friends and family's go to pup sitter. From young and old, short and tall and thin and thicc I am the trusted advisor to take care of the fur babies. I love to take long walks, play with toys and provide cuddles. Naturally, i'm favored even more when they receive treats. I currently work from home on central time schedule so end in the early afternoon. I am flexible on weekdays and weekends. I have my own transportation. In my home there are two dogs with a fence. Stemming from my parents house we have a cat where he has multiple catteries. Though my home will not be available.
“Caroline did a great job checking in with my kitty! When I leave my cat alone she gets stressed out and lets me know when I get back by acting out. Caroline was able to reduce her stress when I had to leave (in the middle of moving in) and my kitty was happy and well behaved when I got back. I loved all of the photos she sent each check-in and knowing she was being cared for. Will be booking with her again!”
“Thank you Tania for your visit today. Boo-Boo was happy to meet you and looks forward to seeing you next month! You were on time, and understood his daily routine needs. I know he will be in good hands during our travel dates. Thanks Again!”
“Shannon was wonderful. The boys loved her. I was worried about leaving them for days, as I never had, but once we met Shannon, those fears evaporated. She came for a couple short visits prior to my trip. They took to her immediately, and while I was away she sent videos and pics multiple times per day. Really couldn't be happier!”
“I can’t recommend Hannah enough! So incredibly kind and professional. She was so accommodating of my schedule and did a fantastic job looking over my little guy. She’s a no brainer!!”
“Genna was amazing! She took great care of my cat Nutella. She brushed her, played with her, fed her and gave her lots of love. She offered to meet before and noted down everything on Nutella routine. Also a bird got into the apartment and Nutella killed it, and Genna took care of everything, even vacuumed. Genna was amazing, I highly recommend her”
“Jackie care for our shy cat, Mick, over the Thanksgiving break. She did an exceptional job. Communication was frequently and clear and service provided went above and beyond! Will 100% work with Jackie again!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced caretaker with years of hands-on experience. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs through every stage of life - kittens as young as 2 weeks old, senior cats with special needs, energetic pups who love adventure, and mellow dogs who prefer relaxed walks. I understand that every pet has their own personality, quirks, and comfort zones, and I tailor my care to match their needs. I genuinely enjoy daily walks and neighborhood exploring, whether it’s a quick stroll or a longer adventure. Some of my favorite spots include Lands End, Golden Gate Park, Baker Beach, and Ocean Beach - perfect for dogs who love fresh air, scenery, and new smells. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets while they’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether your kitty is playful, your pup is energetic, or they’re somewhere in between, I’m here to give them the care they deserve. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. Whether it’s dropping in for a visit, taking your dog out for a walk, or spending extended time with your cat, I can easily fit their care into my daily routine. If your kitty prefers company, I’m happy to work from your home so they’re not alone - perfect for cats who like a little extra attention (or supervision!). Caring for neighbors’ pets fits naturally into my schedule, and I’m always glad to provide walks, playtime, cuddles, and consistent updates while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your cat at home or taking your dog out for a walk, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow any instructions you provide closely - feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, favorite toys, or preferred spots - because I know how important consistency is for pets. For drop-in visits, I make sure your pets get the attention they need during that time- play, cuddles, quiet companionship, a clean litter box, or fresh food and water. For dogs, that can also mean a refreshing walk to stretch their legs and explore. If I’m staying in your home, I keep their environment calm and familiar while also respecting your space.
“Tiffany was amazing! Our kitten loved her. Tiffany will be our go to in the future. Thank you Tiffany for making our vacation even better by not having any worries about our kitten!”
About: I grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets and have owned both cats and a dog as an adult, which was a Dalmatian—describe them as eternally young. :-) I'm an active individual whose current living situation doesn't allow pets so would love to help with yours! Those of you in the Larkspur/Greenbrae area may recognize me from walks on the local paths where I’m able to greet many dogs. While on vacation, I also seek out opportunities to contribute or volunteer for various animal causes, which you’ll see in some of my pictures. I'm retired so my schedule is generally flexible unless I'm out of town for personal reasons. Choosing a more limited radius at this point enables greater schedule flexibility, and to be close to local resources should a need arise. I will pet sit in your home so that your fur baby has all of their normal comforts and routines. I realize not all owners have a fenced yard for a dog so understand the importance of daily walks. I always welcome the opportunity to meet or chat about your needs in advance, so that you may advise of any behaviors for which I'll need to be more mindful. I care for fur babies of at least one year of age. NOTE: I only have experience providing meds to dogs, not cats. Due to allergies, I’m unable to sit in homes with cigarette smoke or with whole house carpeting (in bedrooms is fine). I'm a neat, tidy person who's very responsible--former homeowner.
“Renée is absolutely wonderful! She has cared for our cat Enzo multiple times. Renée is very dependable and posts the best photos :) We know Enzo is in good hands with her and would highly recommend her!”
About: Dogs are the light of my life! I've given forever homes to 7 German Shepherds, 2 Poodles and 4 Mixes. I've had extensive experience caring for them through various illnesses & am very knowledgeable about both their physical and emotional needs. I trained all of them myself with modernizing the methods as the practices changed over time. In High School I worked for a veterinary clinic washing dogs and administering vaccines as well as meds. I was a teacher for 20 years and am super resourceful. I've always had dogs. For me, life would be empty without them, and I'm one of these crazy people who would do absolutely anything to meet their needs!! You can definitely trust that I'll do everything to give your dog the best!! I LOVE DOGS & CATS!! Not to mention horses, ponies and rabbits! I love to house sit and spend my time with any wonderful canine or animal! They'll be given the absolute best of care and companionship when I'm there 24/7 the rest of the week! I'm a retired teacher of 20 years, in great physical condition, and want to do this full time. I LOVE DOGS AND CATS!! I've always worked in the helping professions as a teacher and behavioral case manager for the homeless. Now I want to do what means the most to me....spend my time with animals and give them the best experience possible!! Number 1, follow the directions of the client relative to their animals. Number 2, be respectful of their environment. Number 3, do all the extras possible for the animals including companionship. Number 4, leave the house as nice as it was on my arrival date.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and care for all sizes and personalities! I offer walking, sitting, playtime, and can safely give medications. Whether your dog needs active exercise, calm companionship, or special care, I’ll treat them like one of my own — with love, patience, and attention to detail. I'm available for pet sitting and care Wednesday through Saturday mornings, with some flexibility depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to do early visits, medication administration, and check-ins during those morning hours. Please feel free to reach out with your schedule — I’ll do my best to accommodate! When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, medication, playtime, and any special needs — including administering medications or subcutaneous fluids. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and well-being. Whether your dog or cat wants quiet companionship or active play, I’m there to give them gentle, reliable care while you’re away.
About: Growing up owning dogs since I was born, I’ve always been passionate about making sure they have the best care. After losing my dog of 14 years, I find myself missing those long walks and hours of playing! That being said, I also understand from first hand experience how to best take care of senior dogs. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds and am confident that, given the opportunity, I can become your dog’s (second) favorite person. I am currently working for myself with flexible hours which keeps me very open for watching your pups! I work from home and can be counted on for last minute walks, long walks, shorts walks, and more. Whether you have an older pup who needs meds and love or a puppy who wants to hike all day, I’m ready to make sure your dog is safe, happy, and living their best life. I live in a dog friendly apartment that is off the street. Across from my home is a beautiful park with a fenced in dog park if you are open to that, otherwise I stick to safe dog friendly routes and am happy to continue on your regular walk path or take your dog on an adventure.
About: Hello there! I am a loving pet caregiver and house nurturer living in Marin. I enjoy taking care of animals and people's homes as if they were my very own, with love, respect and better than you left it. I enjoy doing yoga, restorative yoga and adventuring in nature in my spare time. I just finished my 600 hour massage license and 6 month Reiki energy training! My hope is that these intuitive and intentional skills will help assist in a loving and nurturing approach to your pets care needs. I look forward to the opportunity to take care of your special fur-family member and home. Warmly, Adrienne I currently work at Good Earth in the Wellness Department and have early mornings, lunch (1pm) and evenings (after 5:30pm) open for feeding, walks and checkins! I currently care for pets overnight in their homes and do not offer boarding service at this time. You can rest assure that I provide a respectful and loving approach to all homes I take care of. 🏡 💛
About: I have 20 years experience with bully breeds, and all the health issues that entails, but I’m open to sitting any breed (they are all good dogs!). I live at the beach, so your pup will get long beach walks and/or mountain trail hikes during the day, then sleepy downtime at night. It’s a pet paradise! Update 2/26: I just adopted a mastiff, so I’m not doing any in home boarding until I get her settled in her new home, but I’m still happy to do drop ins or walks for other dogs. Your dog will enjoy morning beach walks or trail hikes, or walks in a stroller if your pet has mobility issues. Daylight hours are spent being active, and evenings are resto-relaxo. I have a fenced and private front and backyard with fake grass for your pet to use. No stairs to navigate - single level home a block from the ocean. Just tell me your dogs energy level and exercise needs, and I’ll create the perfect doggy vacation!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Tamalpais Valley
We’re very happy with the care Anjali provided for our kitties while we were away. She was responsible, reliable, and very loving with them. She sent us regular updates and photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. At one point, I reached out to her because I needed her to check something specific with their litter box and automatic feeder, and she responded right away and took care of it. Communication was great throughout, and we felt very comfortable knowing our kitties were in good hands. We would definitely recommend her!
Genna was amazing! She took great care of my cat Nutella. She brushed her, played with her, fed her and gave her lots of love. She offered to meet before and noted down everything on Nutella routine. Also a bird got into the apartment and Nutella killed it, and Genna took care of everything, even vacuumed. Genna was amazing, I highly recommend her
They are absolutely outstanding sitters! From very first message, their communication was warm and professional. During the stay, I received regular updates with adorable photos and detailed notes about how things were going. It was clear that Mariia and Ethan genuinely cared for Mia pup as if they were their own! Thank you for going above and beyond, you are the best!
Sarah did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of my cat while I was away! She followed all of the instructions I left perfectly and made sure to provide prompt, helpful updates that gave me peace of mind the entire time. On top of everything, she went above and beyond by bringing in packages that were delivered — such a kind and considerate gesture. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend and would definitely book with Sarah again!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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.
