My dog is 11 years old, with a senior dog as a pet, I understand the extra care that some animals need.
“Hands down the best experience so far with Rover. Victoria was exceptional. She was recommended to me and let this be my recommendation to anyone desiring drop-in visits. Her updates were thorough and detailed. Even the pictures had captions added to make it fun and informative. The love and care she had for our dogs and respect for us and our home was evident.”
About: I’ve always loved animals my whole life and grew up taking care of cats and dogs. I’ve pet sat for family and friends many a times. I’m very good a training puppies as well as caring for older pets. These last couple of years i’ve pet sat a lot more and have gained a good amount of experience! 🤍 I’m currently working part-time as well as being a full time college student but I will have plenty of time to drop in and make sure your pets are doing well! I can work around my work and school schedule to drop in before and after if need be. I want to make sure your pets feel comfortable and safe in their own home so i’ll be sure to stay with their normal routine. I’m very patient and equipped to handle different medication or special routines. I understand that it can be scary leaving your pets in someone else’s hands but I want to reassure you that you can count on me to make sure that your pets are being cared for properly. I respect your home and their space and will keep you updated with how your pets are doing after each visit. I want your mind to be at ease while you’re away and your pets to be safe and happy!
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We can’t thank Holly enough for stepping in at the last minute to take care of our pets! She was incredibly understanding and accommodating with our sudden trip, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. We really appreciated how attentive she was to all of our pets’ needs and how she kept us updated with messages and photos—it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Everything was perfectly handled, and our pets were clearly happy and well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter!”
About: I come from a large family which I’ve always had dogs and cats. We used to raise Siamese cats, and we always had big dogs. German shepherds, black labs, Huskies, Dobermans. I would take care of my family’s dogs: Cheweanies, Peekapoos, Chihuahuas, Min pins. I’ve always loved being around animals …Especially Dogs and Cats -helping them be their best Doggy and Kitty selves. I love being around dogs and cats. I have two beautiful indoor cats myself, and they are my best companions. I love them very much. I will love and take care of your Fur babies, As if they were my very own. I retired early from HEALTHCARE , so my time is pretty open, and would enjoy the opportunity to help you with your fur babies and their care. Day/Night/Evening/Overnight. I’m very protective of those fur babies that I have in my care. I pay very close attention to detail and all of their needs. Their lives are in my hands and I take my position of caring for your Fur baby very seriously.I would be caring for them in your home.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. From lizards to dogs to cats! I’ve even had a pet crayfish. Animals are my favorite and I’m more than happy to care for yours I work a semi rigid schedule, with check ins needing to be between certain hours In the mornings before 8:30, during lunch time between 11-2 and in the afternoon any time after 5 I am very quick with doors so any “escape artists” will have a hard time trying to get past me! I have a very level hand so no one is going to go hungry (or get too much) I do my best to be on time to everything and love taking pictures of pets in silly poses (you get to see your pets everyday you’re gone)
“Jordan took fantastic care of our 3 cats! She communicated daily with pictures and updates about how they were doing and how they were adjusting to her house sitting. She also tidied up before we got back which relieved a lot of stress! We would definitely recommend Jordan for pet and house sitting!”
“I knew our cats were in good hands with Molly all week long! We were away for a trip and she was reliable and communicative the whole time, I didn't need to worry about a thing. Plus our normally reserved cat walked right up to her for a nose boop when they initially met--a terrific match!”
About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years, and it's genuinely one of my favorite things to do. In that time, I've looked after just about every kind of animal you can think of — dogs and cats of all ages, puppies, seniors, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and more. The only ones I haven't worked with are horses! I'm comfortable with medication administration (pills, liquids, eye drops, injections), special needs care, and adapting routines for pets who need a little extra patience. I've cared for rescue dogs still learning to trust people, helped a senior dog through a UTI by spotting the symptoms early and coordinating with the owner, and stayed calm when a dog in my care was unexpectedly attacked by another dog on a walk — I got him to the vet quickly and he made a full recovery. I don't have pets of my own right now, but on most days I'm out walking, feeding, or hanging out with someone else's. Your pet will get attentive care, plenty of affection, and an honest set of eyes on how they're doing day to day. If you need your dogs walked Monday through Friday, I will gladly try to accommodate my schedule for you. Happy to help on the weekends if I can! I do my best to make your pets feel comfortable with me and treat them with kindness. I believe in being patient with the pets I look after.
“Such a relief finding Jessica! My husband and I recently moved to the Valley and have been looking to find reliable options when we go out of town to babysit our 2 cute young cats. We don’t have human babies so these are truly our babies! I immediately felt comfortable with Jessica and I could tell our girls were comfortable too. Our home was left tidy and I’m sure Mavis and Margaux appreciated having a loving sitter while we were gone. Looking forward to booking again ?”
“Susan did such an amazing job with my old dog. She took her on a walk and spent time loving on her. All of the pictures my dog was smiling. She only smiles with people she likes.”
“Amazing care. I am so glad I found Edith. I felt at ease knowing my cat was in good hands. She sent photos every day of my cat looking happier with her than me lol. Best caretaker for pets ever. I highly recommend Edith.”
“Jessica was amazing. My dog can be reactive and intimidating. But, Jessica made quick friends with her. Jessica is communicative, cares deeply for the creatures she cares for and does exactly what she agrees to do. I appreciate her and will definitely ask her to care for my fur babies next time they need a sitter.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Thousand Palms
I met Megan for the meet and greet for her to drop in to check on my cat while we were out of town for a few days and I immediately trusted her. I appreciate her excellent communication and as a bonus she took great photos of my cat which made me feel even more at ease. She was super helpful and followed all care requests perfectly. I will definitely be rebooking!
Megan took very good care of my little Bisquit, a kitten like cat! Bisquit loves to play, and Megan played with her, kept up with the litter box, fed her, washed her dishes, all of that. What i lived the most was she won bisquit's heart and bisquit came out of hiding.I think the next visit, maybe even the first. That never happened before! It was most important to me that my little cat would feel some love and safety, and not feel alone. And Megan did that perfect, and she did the normal stuff too very nicely. I will ask Megan to help us out again.

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.

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.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
