About: I am on Kern County Sheriff's Search and Rescue Team, I am fingerprinted and background vetted. So your animals and property would be well protected. I have taken care of animals of every kind since I was a young girl. I also worked at a veterinary hospital while I was in high school, which fueled my passion for animals. Family, friends and neighbors have all relied on me to take care of their beloved pets. Whether it's dropping dogs off at my home or me staying at their house to provide a calming, reassurance to your pet while they were gone. I am currently retired. So I have plenty of time to look in on your pet, take them for walks, give them love and nuzzles. Or just come and peek in on them and make sure they have plenty of food and water and that they are okay. Some animals that I take care of do not care for people to stick around in their home. So I just check on them several times a day and make sure they're doing okay. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to play with your pups and keep them active. I can easily create if need be.
“Maddison was so friendly and took great care of my pups while I was away! She was attentive and made sure they always had food and water and played with them as well. She even brought in packages I had ordered out of the rain without me even asking! 110% would recommend booking with her and I will certainly book with her again in the future! Thank you Maddison!”

About: Tucked away in the mountains, my off-grid home is more than just a boarding space—it’s a peaceful, nurturing retreat where both dogs and cats can feel safe, understood, and truly at home. I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals, and caring for them is second nature to me. Maybe it’s the Leo in me, but I’ve always been drawn to the independent, curious nature of cats, just as much as the loyalty and energy of dogs. I take the time to get to know each animal individually—their quirks, their comforts, and their communication style—because no two are the same. Whether they need adventure, structure, play, or just a quiet place to rest, I tailor their stay to what suits them best. My own pack includes two amazing dogs, both of whom I’ve raised since they were pups—an Australian Kelpie who thrives on activity and focus, and a Husky/Malamute mix who loves adventure just as much as I do. I also have two incredibly special cats, Face and Lilith. Face, my shadow and best friend, was once a wary barn cat who took 1.5 years to trust me. Now, he hikes with me and my dogs, showing an adaptability I’ve never seen in another cat. Lilith, my Hemingway cat, appeared as a tiny, helpless kitten in the woods and has since grown into a thriving, playful companion. Recently, I also took on the challenge of caring for and finding homes for 21 puppies all at once—an experience that reinforced my deep commitment to the well-being of every animal that comes into my care. For dogs, my home offers the perfect mix of adventure and comfort, with plenty of space to roam, explore, and play. For cats, I provide a dedicated, dog-free space downstairs, designed just for them, complete with padded, cloth-covered shelves, sunlit lounging spots, and plenty of enrichment to keep them engaged. Cats are never let outside unless specifically requested by their owner, ensuring their safety. Whether you have a dog who thrives on companionship and outdoor adventure or a cat who craves quiet comfort and personalized care, my home is a place where they will be loved, understood, and cared for like family. I do have a large fenced back yard which is behind expanded currently. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s fully integrated into my daily life. Living off-grid and working from home means I don’t have a traditional 9-to-5 schedule, so my time revolves around the animals in my care. From the moment I wake up, I’m tending to their needs—letting dogs out to stretch their legs in the fresh mountain air, preparing meals tailored to each pet, and making sure everyone feels comfortable and at ease. Throughout the day, I engage with them in ways that suit their personalities—whether it’s a long hike through the woods for high-energy dogs, quiet companionship for more relaxed pets, or interactive play for curious cats. Because I’m always home, no animal is ever left alone for long. I have the flexibility to adapt to their needs in real-time, whether it’s providing extra comfort for a nervous newcomer or giving an active pup the extra exercise they crave. At night, every pet settles in safely, knowing they are in a warm, loving environment. Caring for animals isn’t a job I clock in and out of—it’s simply my way of life. Exercise and outdoor time are a big part of my daily routine. I take my dog for runs or walks multiple times a day, exploring the beautiful mountain trails and giving them the movement they need. If your dog enjoys exercise and adventure, I’d be happy to include them in these outings, ensuring they get plenty of physical activity and enrichment. Whether they prefer a leisurely stroll or a high-energy run, I tailor the experience to match their needs and comfort level. If your pet has special needs—such as medication, a specific feeding routine, or any other care requirements—I’m happy to integrate that into my daily schedule. Every animal is different, and I make sure to accommodate their unique needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals to include dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and other exotic pets. I do not have experience with farm animals but I am a quick study. I am able to provide care for senior animals as well as pass medications accurately and on-time. I deeply respect all the creatures who share this planet with us, so rest assured that your pets will be well-cared-for and be in good hands when they're with me. I will treat them like they're my own. I currently work wed, thurs, fri during the day and am often busy for 9 hours on those days and would not be able to do any visits during those hours, but I'm available 6am-7am and 6pm-9pm. Safety is my number one priority, which means leashes will never be neglected and every pet will always be accounted for at the beginning and the end of every visit.

About: Hi there! I’m a passionate, lifelong animal lover back in Tehachapi Alpine Forest! Growing up, I gained hand-on experience with both small and big dogs, so I am entirely comfortable and confident handling pups of all shapes and sizes. Over the years, I’ve provided trusted pet sitting for friends and family, and I even turned my love for animals into a professional, paid service while stationed in Germany. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to two wonderful cats and live with and also take care of two frenchies, so I completely understand the love, patience, and attention to detail it takes to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable.

With my summer entirely open and a flexible hybrid college schedule during the school year, I have the perfect routine to give your pets the dedicated time and attention they deserve. Because I’m not locked into a 9-to-5, I can easily accommodate mid-day check-ins, specific feeding routines, and consistent playtime schedules that keep your cats or dogs happy and relaxed. I go to class from 6-9pm one day every other week during the school year, and on my hybrid class days, I can study right alongside your pets, providing that constant companionship. You can rest assured that my schedule allows me to be highly reliable and completely focused on maintaining your pet's normal daily routine with an overnight stay or check ins! I provide all of my pet care services exclusively within the comfort and familiarity of the client's home, as my own household is already fully occupied by my own pets. When staying at or visiting your home, I always make sure my care to almost mirrors your pet's established daily routine, whether that means adhering to precise feeding schedules, managing litter box maintenance, or providing dedicated interactive playtime. I am able to give your pets personalized attention in the space :)

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
