“Zack was absolutely amazing with my two dogs while I was away for a few days. My German Shepherd mix isn’t the easiest dog to care for, but Zack went above and beyond to make sure both of my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. He’s responsible, trustworthy, and always on time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great hands. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Zack to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking him again in the future!”
“Heather did a last minute drop in visit for us today and we could not be more grateful! Our little Charlie Girl was so happy to see her for potty and food time. Thank you, Heather!”

“Debbi is absolutely wonderful with pets! She took exceptional care of our cat, treating him as if he were her own. She kept us updated with timely photos and videos during each visit, giving us peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciate her attention to detail and loving care. Will definitely book with her again—thank you, Debbi!”


“Sierra was great with our two cats! She visited as scheduled, fed and played with our girls, and even picked up our mail and packages while we were out. We also appreciated the sweet photo updates from her visits. Wonderful experience working with her!”

“Ariel is awesome. We are so lucky to have found her. She's been dropping in on our cat twice a day for the past month and has been on time every single day since the day she started. She has somehow gotten close to our cat who usually does not do well with new people and does a great job with everything we have her do. She's also one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. We can't recommend her more highly.”

“I was so nervous to leave my 17 year old cat alone for the first time in his life but Brittany took the BEST care of him. She took so many pics and videos of him and I could tell how much he loved her. He would meow more greeting her than us even haha I couldn’t recommend Brittany enough she is amazing, reliable, and so trustworthy. She was so affectionate towards my cat and he needs his rubs and butt pats like he needs food. She even saved my mom’s car from being towed from a spot in our neighborhood which was above and beyond! I will definitely be booking with her anytime we need a sitter again in the future!”

“Another excellent experience with Bella! She is a wonderful sitter and leaves thorough updates with photos and is also very easy to communicate with. Bella is reliable and pays close attention to my instructions and what our cats and what they've been up to during the day. The house is clean, and the kitties are happy with her care! Thank you, Bella!!”

“Amazing experience — our doggie loved Angela. She is super kind and caring and kept us in the loop throughout the drop in visit. I look forward to working with her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friend’s pets for a few years. I have worked with a trainer so I have some knowledge of positive reinforcement training. I am not working at this time so my schedule is very flexible. I can stay at your home the full time you are away or just do drop ins. Whatever you need. I do not offer care in my home but will be happy to stay with your pets at your home which puts your pets in a more comfortable environment.
About: The last two dogs I had were the best pets I've ever had, one in particular I took everywhere, hiking, running, swimming and even to play basketball. I feel like every dog owner should expose their dogs to many outside environments, something other than there backyard or house. As an owner I believe that dogs should be treated more than just a convenient stress reliever. Dogs can be your closest friend so they ought to be cared for and treated like a great one. What I bring to the table is a genuine love for all dogs and an understanding of their needs. I can be fairly flexible on weekdays for visits and walks, but am mostly available only in the afternoon. Weekends, I am pretty much always available. House sits I can do any day of the week. To start off, I always start off by caring for the pet as outlined by the owner (routines, feeding schedules, medications, things to avoid, walks). But in addition to that, I like to have some fun with the dogs that I sit. I will play with them a bit and in general just hang out with them.
About: Hi! I am a student at UC Berkeley with lots of free time and a ton of love to give to your doggies/kitties!! I have over 10 years of pet care experience - with 2 dogs and 2 cats at home. I can be of help in many ways, including long or short walks, house sitting, overnights, and can host anyone at my pet-friendly house as well (Southside Berkeley). I have taken care of elderly dogs and cats before, so am comfortable giving extra attention/care/medical help if need be. I just graduated from college and moved back with about 3 months before I start work full time! I have taken care of dogs and cats while I was working and a full time student, but now have lots of extra free time so can definitely help out with animals that require more care & attention throughout the day. I will always match your pet with their energy! From a standoff/shy kitty to an extremely energetic dog, I will make sure to approach them in alignment to what they need to develop trust and a good relationship. I am very attentive and will make sure to always hang out with whatever animal(s) I am taking care of. My home is dog/cat friendly with a large backyard.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life from cats and dogs to bunnies and guinea pigs. My home was always privileged to have pets when I was growing up and now as an adult I’ve chosen to care for my own as well. I absolutely love animals and see them as more than just pets. These babies are family and I will always do my best to make sure your pet receives maximum comfort and care. I am skilled in caring for both young and old fur babies and I am able to follow any specific needs for whatever your baby requires. I currently work part-time so I have lots of time for drop-in visits or even several hours of care in your home. Please do not hesitate to contact me same-day if need be. I will do my best to accommodate your pet! Caring for your pets in your home is my main point of service. My goal is to be available to come drop-in or have an extended stay over the course of the day or night with your fur babies. I am able to follow feeding and potty break schedules and I can also administer medication if needed. Your fur babies will always feel safe and loved while under my care. I would never do anything to compromise the safety or trust of my clients or their pets. I understand that these animals are mentally and emotionally intelligent and I will always treat your booking as I’d like a sitter to treat mine.

Super appreciate Brittany, she steps in to save the day when other sitters cancel last minute, she communicates every step of the way even when not hearing from me, sticks around to see that my avoidant cats get a little attention, and just really cares. Thanks again Brittany!
Kendall is absolutely awesome! From the amazing meet and greet to the special care he gave both of my ragdoll‘s Raja and Bleu while I was out of town was top-notch. I never had to worry his communication was thorough and I truly appreciated it. My girls were safe and I definitely will use Kendall for my next out of town trip. Thank you so much.

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.

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 Meet & Greet .
