About: With over 20 years of experience, I care for animals of all ages — from playful puppies to wise seniors. I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my top priority! I work remotely so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I also make my own schedule so I am extremely flexible and ready to meet all your animal care needs! I care for pets in my client’s home by following their usual routines as closely as possible, so the pet feels safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I make sure they get the right amount of play, exercise, feeding, snuggles, and any medications they need. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, giving them plenty of love and care while keeping their space clean and secure.
About: I have years of pet-sitting experience, along with being a longtime pet owner myself. I’m experienced in caring for senior dogs who need extra assistance, as well as raising and caring for puppies. I’m dependable, punctual, attentive, and a great communicator. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same care and affection I would give my own. I work part-time from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day and most days of the week, making it easy for me to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. I’m also available for overnight stays when needed. I always make the safety and comfort of each pet my priority. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and maintain the pet’s usual routine as much as possible. I’m attentive, respectful of my client’s home, and make sure pets receive plenty of care, companionship, and attention while their owners are away.
About: I have grown up with pets of all sizes, including large dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, hermit crabs, and more. I give special attention to each pet's personality and needs to help give the best possible care. I'm currently working part time, so my flexible schedule allows me to work around your needs. I am typically available any day in afternoons and evenings, including weekends. I provide attentive, reliable care in your pet’s home, helping them stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of affection and companionship while you’re away.
About: I've been around animals for 23 years, so at this point, I think I speak fluent dog and a little bit of cat. 😂 I love animals, big ones, small ones, the crazy ones, and even the ones who act like they pay the mortgage. Every pet got their own personality, and I respect that! Whether your dog needs a good walk, your cat needs somebody to ignore, or your furry little boss needs some company while you're gone, I got you covered. I'm responsible, patient, and I take pet care seriously. Feeding schedules, walks, playtime, belly rubs, and photo updates? No problemo! I treat every pet like family. Your dog might come home with a new best friend, and your cat might actually acknowledge my existence. No promises on that last one. 😂 At the end of the day, happy pets and happy owners. That's the American dream, baby! 🇺🇸🐾 My schedule is pretty flexible right now, which means more time for your furry little boss! 😂 Whether your dog needs a morning walk, afternoon adventure, or somebody to keep them company while you're out making your dreams happen, I got you! I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting depending on my calendar. I like keeping a consistent routine because pets got schedules too, and trust me, they know when dinner is late! 🐾 Just let me know what your pet needs, and we'll make it work! Your pet's safety is my number one priority. Fun is important, but safety comes first, always! When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space, follow your instructions, and make sure your furry family member stays comfortable and safe. Doors locked? Check. Fresh water? Check. Food on time? Check. Dog trying to convince me he hasn't eaten in three days? Nice try, buddy! 😂 I pay attention to each pet's personality, energy level, and routine. I always use secure leashes during walks, keep an eye on their surroundings, and never introduce them to unfamiliar animals without permission. I also provide photo updates because I know you wanna see what your little troublemaker is doing! Your home gets respect, your pet gets love, and everybody stays happy. That's how we do business! 🐾
“Taylor did a great job and was very good at communicating with me during her drop in visits. She was also very thoughtful of my home and I appreciated it. She went the extra miles of wiping Chico’s paws when they were full of mud after being out on the grass. She was very understanding of my dogs behaviors too and made me feel relieved while Chico was in her care!”
About: I’ve always been a dog lover and I really enjoy taking them on walks and keeping them company. Even though I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve looked after lots of pets for friends and family over the years. I’ve helped with everything from playful puppies to older dogs who just need a slow stroll and some love. I get along with pretty much every dog I meet, and I treat them like they’re my own. I work in Biotech during the week, so I’m mostly available in the evenings for walks or drop-ins. On weekends, I’m pretty flexible and have lots of free time to spend with your pup—whether that’s longer walks, playtime, or just keeping them company! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own space. I follow any routines or instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just some cuddle time.
About: Animals have been my greatest passion for as long as I can remember! With approximately 16 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds, I’ve dedicated much of my life to their care, well-being, and the incredible relationships we share with them. I began independently caring for animals in elementary school, eventually becoming a trusted pet sitter for neighbors and families in my hometown of Atherton, California. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, birds, horses, alpacas, goats, sheep, and many other animals, gaining an appreciation for their unique personalities, behaviors, and individual needs. One of my earliest and most meaningful experiences was fostering abandoned kittens beginning in fifth grade. I’ve raised orphaned kittens requiring bottle-feeding and intensive care, cared for siblings and entire litters of up to six kittens, and navigated medication schedules and health-related needs. These experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of being attentive to even the smallest changes in an animal’s behavior or well-being. My passion for animals has also led me to work with organizations such as the National Center for Equine Facilitated Therapy (NCEFT) and Animal Assisted Happiness (AAH). Through these experiences, I’ve worked with horses and a variety of farm animals while supporting programs serving children with special needs and individuals benefiting from animal-assisted therapeutic services. Having grown up riding horses, I’ve always felt particularly connected to equine care and the unique bonds animals can form with people. I’ve also spent summers working as a camp counselor at local animal shelters and explored pre-veterinary education and veterinary-related experiences to deepen my understanding of animal health, behavior, and responsible caregiving. As a psychology student, I’m especially fascinated by the relationship between humans and animals and the meaningful role they play in emotional well-being, connection, and healing. My experiences have shown me how deeply animals enrich our lives, and I believe they deserve the same compassion, respect, and individualized attention that they so freely give us. Whether I’m caring for an energetic puppy, a shy rescue cat, a senior companion, or an animal requiring extra patience and attention, I approach every pet with genuine love, responsibility, and an understanding of their individual needs. To me, animals aren’t simply pets. They’re family, companions, and extraordinary beings deserving of kindness and care. I will always treat yours with the same love, attentiveness, and dedication I give my own! As a senior psychology student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine! I love staying active, spending time outdoors, and going on walks, so spending quality time with animals fits naturally into my lifestyle. My academic and work commitments vary throughout the week, but I’m happy to coordinate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays around my availability. I understand the importance of consistency and do my best to accommodate each pet’s established feeding, exercise, and companionship routines. I prioritize thoughtful scheduling and clear communication so that every animal in my care receives the attention, affection, and quality time they deserve! I believe every animal deserves to feel safe, understood, and loved, especially when their family is away. My approach to pet care begins with learning each animal’s unique personality, boundaries, routines, and individual needs. Before caring for your pet, I take time to understand their feeding schedule, exercise preferences, behavioral tendencies, medical considerations, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. I’m attentive to animal body language and changes in behavior, and I believe in creating a calm, patient, and reassuring environment. When caring for pets in your home, I carefully follow your instructions, respect your space, maintain cleanliness, secure doors and gates, and provide appropriate supervision. I never assume that what works for one animal will work for another! I also understand how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care. I’m always happy to provide photos, updates, and consistent communication so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved. Above all, I treat every pet with the same compassion, attentiveness, and respect that I give my own animals. Your peace of mind and your pet’s well-being will always come first!
“Keyla is very sweet, patient and did above and beyond in taking care of my two dogs. She was very patient and understands what needs to be done. I'm so glad I picked her to take care of my dogs. She is also always on time and was able to adjust to my schedule. Thank you so much Keyla.”
About: I’m the friend everyone calls when they need someone to watch their dog! 😊 I’ve been taking care of my friends’ dogs regularly for years — sometimes for a day, sometimes for longer stays — and I genuinely love having them around.

“Heather was fantastic!! On-time every time, great with my cat who seemed to have a lot of fun with her, and very communicative with potential issues. Won't hesitate to book her again in the future, and I recommend you do the same!”
“Lili was truly a life saver when I needed someone to come check on my cat Maisie urgently. She was there within 2 minutes and was super prompt with feeding her, making sure the balcony door was closed, finding her hiding under the bed. It was an urgent situation and I couldn’t have been happier that Lili was up for the job because she went above and beyond. You MUST book for your pets too, she is an expert and great with animals!”

“Jade was absolutely awesome I 100 %! Recommend her she met all of our needs and our cats needs and always checked in and let us know about our cats and how they were doing. Jade is very attentive and makes sure your pets are in good hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Topanga
Oh my gosh. I cannot recommend Fallon enough. She was just SUCH a blessing to have. I haven’t used Rover in a long time because of a past experience but Fallon is the real deal! Exactly what you’d hope for from a pet sitter. She goes ABOVE and beyond with her care and communication. I truly feel like I can’t leave my babies with anyone else anymore. We have tortoises, flowers, and 4 cats. One of them is super skiddish and she extended so much empathy to him until he warmed up to her. And she nailed it all! The biggest of thank yous from my family to Fallon! We will definitely be seeing her again as my cats already miss her! 🥰

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
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.

- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
