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’ve been caring for animals for 10+ years through animal shelters and pet sitting. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, including administering medication, reinforcing training, bathing, and taking dogs on long walks or runs. I’m comfortable caring for large breeds, reactive dogs, and pets with special needs. My experience with caring for cats is extensive as well. As a law student, I study from home most days, so your pets will get plenty of attention, companionship, and care. My goal is to make sure you can relax knowing they are safe, happy, and well cared for! As a full-time law student, I spend most of my days studying from home, with only a few hours of class each day. That means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine, and they make great study buddies! I do my best to keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable in the space they know best. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, medications, and even around the house if needed. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own. You’ll also receive daily updates and plenty of photos so you always know how they’re doing!
About: As a dog owner myself, who prioritizes my own dogs’ health and exercise needs, I bring an active, meticulous standard to every outing. I cater to your dogs needs, wether you have a puppy, over excited or energetic dog, or a senior dog that needs a slower pace, I am able to adapt to their needs. I have 3 dogs myself, requiring different needs. I also happen to be a very active person and I understand the importance of daily exercise and enrichment for a dog's health and happiness. Because work and busy schedules can make it tough to stay on top of those daily needs, I offer my services to bridge that gap, giving your pup active, structured care while giving you complete peace of mind during your work week. It’s exactly what I offer my dogs too! During walks, safety is the top priority. I maintain active focus on surroundings, leash control, and your dog’s comfort. Afterward, I ensure they are well exercised, hydrated, wiped down, and settled safely in your home before sending you a quick update.
“We have never left Pete and Molly before and we were a little nervous. Thank goodness for Lila!! She was available last minute, checked in every visit and cared for them like we would. Lila is a very warm, friendly and personable young lady! It’s no wonder dogs love her!! I would recommend her to anyone who loves their animals like we do and wants to give them the best care :)”
“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 spent lots of time around animals, and I have a dog of my own! I’m very patient because I work with kids and that transfers into this line of work well! I’m working part-time and have easy transportation which makes this a great gig for me. I’m flexible with my availability and I care about the work that I do. I have a dog named Codi who is my world and I adopted him at 4 weeks old and that taught me a lot about puppy care. I love walks with him and taking him on car rides. He loves to run around with me doing everything!
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: I have taken care of many dogs. I used to have a Samoyed and a multipoo myself for many years previously. I love how affectionate dogs are. I am great at sticking to feeding schedules. I enjoy petting and playing with a dog kindly and gently. I have a big backyard that is fenced where a dog can run and play safely. I work part time, not everyday, and just a few hours a day, so I am a great companion to your sweet lovable pet. I am gentle, caring, loving, warm hearted. I am very empathetic to pets because they are loving beings. I will often take them for bathroom breaks, pet, and feed on schedule. I want the pet to feel safe and happy and the owner to relax and enjoy their time away. I have a fenced backyard. I accept cats or small dogs only. The pet will have space to run and play. I am gentle with my voice and my affection to the pet. I have a big heart and am also good at keeping a feeding schedule. I am warm hearted and responsible.
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life. My first puppy was a Yorkie named Lola, who I got when I was 5 — she was my first love! Animals have always been one of the most meaningful parts of my life, and that hasn’t changed. I currently live with two cats and a dog, including my cat Kai, who is truly my pride and joy and the light of my life. I’d do absolutely anything for him, so I know firsthand what it’s like to love and care for your pet like they’re your child. Growing up, a lot of my volunteer work centered around animals, from helping at shelters to walking dogs in my neighborhood. I’d love to be an extra source of love, care, and support for you and your little one, and hopefully become your pet’s new favorite neighborhood friend! I care for the pets in my house everyday normally - as well as my partners cat. I also just finished the project I was on and have a lot of free time to help support you and your pets! I approach every animal I meet with gentleness and patience. Building trust is extremely important and every animal of different. I’m here to learn what your animal needs from me and adjust my approach intuitively.

“I can’t say enough great things about Kai!!! This is my first experience using Rover as I did not want to put my boys in a kennel while I was away for a few days. Since my pups are a bit senior I wanted them to be in the comfort of their own home. Kai saw my boys twice a day, was consistent and timely and great at communicating with me how everything was going every time he saw them. I was a little nervous initially with allowing someone in my home while I was out of town, but Kai is completely trustworthy and made sure to lock everything up in between his visits. I HIGHLY recommend Kai for taking care of your pet(s) when you have to be away from them :)”
About: My least favorite part about vacation is having to say goodbye to my pups and making sure they’re in good care. I hope to make your time away from home stress free and enjoyable for your pet, sending pictures and consistent updates on their wellbeing. I am a true animal lover and have been caring for pets for several years. I hope to get to meet your dog soon! Your pet can expect walks, pets or whatever activity they enjoy most. I work from home and am available for frequent check ins and picture updates! I have a fenced backyard with lots of plants to sniff. I have two older friendly dogs that would love to keep your pup company.
“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!”

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! 🥰

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.

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 .
