About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have earned a reputation among friends and family as the “cat whisperer.” I have a knack for connecting with cats of every temperament, from outgoing cuddle bugs to shy, fearful, independent, or extra-spicy cats who take a little more patience to win over. I have extensive experience with kittens, seniors, fostering, medications, special care routines, and challenging or defensive cats. I’m great at reading feline body language, respecting boundaries, and letting each cat decide how quickly we become friends. My own formerly-feral barn cats went from aggressive and completely standoffish to affectionate angel-babies who come running for attention; one of my proudest accomplishments! I also understand that trusting someone with your pet often means trusting them with your home. I’m a homeowner myself, and I take that responsibility seriously. My mom raised me to always leave a space better than I found it, and that’s something I still live by. I’m respectful of people’s privacy, belongings, and personal space, and I’ll treat your home with the same care I’d want someone to show mine. Cats are genuinely my specialty. Whether yours needs cuddles, playtime, medication, patience, or simply someone who understands when to leave them alone, I’ll meet them exactly where they are and make sure both you and your cat feel comfortable while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care rather than trying to squeeze visits into a small window. I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, feeding, medication, playtime, and plenty of quality time with your cat. I also understand that cats are creatures of habit, so I’m happy to stick as closely as possible to their normal routine and preferred schedule while you’re away. Safety and trust come first for me; both of your cat’s and your home’s. I follow each cat’s established routine closely, double-check doors and entry points, keep food, water, and litter areas clean, and pay close attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall demeanor. As the owner of two formerly-feral barn cats, I’m especially aware of escape risks and how quickly a nervous or curious cat can make a break for it! I’m comfortable with shy, defensive, or unpredictable cats and never force interaction. I let them set the pace and work to earn their trust. When staying in or visiting someone’s home, I treat it as carefully as I would my own. I respect your privacy and belongings, keep things tidy, and follow any household instructions you leave. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, relaxed cat and a home that looks just as good, or better, than when you left it.
“Elika is a wonderful pet sitter! She was thoughtful, communicative, noticed details about my cats behavior and health. I felt very confident with them in her care.”
About: I am working a part time job right now so your pet will be my priority. I have grown up and taken care of pets (mostly dogs) my entire life. I have been dog sitting for friends and family since I was in middle school. I love animals and love being around them whether it is at a park, laying around the house or going on walks Im currently working part time. I have plenty of time for walks and to hang out with your pets. No need to worry about schedules as well as I am free to follow any schedule your pet needs I can spend time with your dog at a park or just hanging around the house. If you need someone to watch the dog during the day or at night I can do that as well.
“We booked our holiday travel a little late in the year and our normal supply of family/friends who cat-sit for us were unavailable. I took a chance on Rover and found Allen and it all worked out splendidly! I met Allen before we left, gave him a quick intro to our cat Lisette, and away we went. I also left written instructions just in case and Allen followed them to a T. He sent photos and a video every day, putting my fears to rest about leaving our cat alone for the first time (we adopted her 6 months ago). I recommend Allen 100%! We will definitely be calling him again.”
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have always been surrounded by animals. Before having my own children, I had two dogs of my own who were a huge part of my life. I absolutely love animals and believe they deserve kindness, patience, attention, playtime, and a lot of love. I understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply making them feel safe and comfortable, I truly enjoy giving pets the care and attention they deserve. I’m available Monday - Friday after 3:00pm and available on some weekends. I do like to travel, so sometimes I’ll be busy. If you need weekend care, please don’t hesitate to reach out and inquire if my schedule doesn’t reflect those specific dates. I currently no longer have any pets in my home, which is why I am extending the extra time I do have, to share my care with others who need it. I would love to earn yours and your pets trust for any type of time or care your pet may need.
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs my entire life, including raising several dogs from puppies.

I genuinely love working with animals and will treat your pet like they’re my own.

I care immensely and treats all animals like my own. I want people to be able to feel comfortable with me around their animals and inside their home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Torrance
Ruby was absolutely amazing!! 🥹💕 My kitties adored her! Even when our Litter-Robot unexpectedly went offline in the middle of the night because of a WiFi connection issue, I reached out to her, and she was so accommodating! She came earlier than scheduled at the last minute to check on it and spend extra time with my babies. Talk about going above and beyond! 🐾❤️ My cautious little princess, Suki Bear, even came out to hang out with Ruby and her brother AND let Ruby pet her! That says a lot because Suki doesn’t warm up to just anyone! 🥹 Tommy Boy was his usual energetic, playful self and absolutely loved all the attention and playtime! I had such peace of mind knowing my babies were in loving hands while we were away. A++++ service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My kitties and I can’t thank you enough, Ruby! We’ve officially found our go-to kitty sitter for all our future trips! Highly, highly recommend! 💕🐱
Vanessa was wonderful! She arrived right on time and communicated clearly throughout the visit. She even brought my packages inside without me having to ask, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. Most importantly, my dogs were happy and relaxed when I got home. I would definitely recommend Vanessa and would happily book her again!
Lisa was awesome and super easy to work with! She took great care of our cat during our short trip away and dropped in help feed and spend time with them. Lisa was responsive and extremely communicative throughout the entire process and we really appreciated her updates. Really glad our cat got to meet Lisa, and would definitely recommend her!
Aleksandr always goes above and beyond whenever he takes care of our cat. He is very reliable, he visited our cat on a predictable schedule and fed him, cleaned up after him, gave him pets and played with him. He also sent us a few pictures and a short description about how things went each day.
Elika has been an absolute lifesaver for me over the many weeks! I needed someone dependable to walk my dog, Daisy, while I recovered from surgery, and Elika went above and beyond every single day. Daisy absolutely loves her and gets so excited every time she shows up. Elika is super reliable, always on time, and great about keeping me updated on how their walks went. Knowing Daisy was in such good hands gave me total peace of mind and let me focus entirely on resting up without any guilt. If you need a dog walker who is genuinely kind, responsible, and amazing with all animals, I highly recommend Elika!
Joanne is very responsive and flexible. Our original dog sitter bailed last minute and Joanne saved the day by looking after and taking care of our girl with a last minute request. She’s very friendly, flexible and respectful. Looking forward to booking her again in the future!
Christine was wonderful to work with and did an awesome job caring for my dog Jones. She is responsive, tried to accommodate shifts in the schedule if they happened, and her report cards and pictures made me feel like my dog was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend Christine to anyone looking for some help with their furry friends!

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.

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 .
