“This was my first time leaving my cat alone for the weekend and I couldn’t have been more happy with Rachel! She was super kind, thorough, and communicative with me. I will definitely be using Rachel again in the future when needed!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and genuinely treat every pet like family. Whether it’s a high energy puppy, a senior dog who just wants a slow stroll, or a couch potato who lives for belly rubs, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Along with years of personal pet care, I also have professional experience working in emergency veterinary medicine, so I’m comfortable recognizing when something isn’t quite right and staying calm under pressure. I’m also an EMT with years of emergency medical experience working with federal contracts which means safety, attention to detail, and quick decision making come naturally to me. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos, walks, playtime, cuddles, and, of course, lots of treats (with your permission!). My goal is for your pet to feel loved, comfortable, and excited every time they see me. 🐾 Dogs & Cats * ✅ Oral medication administration * ✅ Topical medication administration * ✅ Injection medication of your pets prescribed medications. * ✅ Senior pet care * ✅ Puppy care * ✅ Kitten care * ✅ Special needs pets * ✅ Basic first aid/emergency recognition * ✅ Mobility assistance * ✅ Feeding (including special diets) * ✅ Exercise & enrichment * ✅ Crate training reinforcement * ✅ Potty break visits Grooming * ✅ Basic brushing * ✅ Teeth brushing * ✅ Ear cleaning * ✅ Nail trims Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work flexible per diem shifts, which gives me the ability to provide reliable drop in visits, walks, daytime visits and overnight care throughout the week. I keep my schedule updated and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to. Your pet will always receive my full attention, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you know they’re happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have over 10 years of pet care experience, have worked in emergency veterinary medicine, and I’m also a licensed EMT. Staying calm, recognizing emergencies, and paying attention to the little things comes naturally to me. I care for every pet as if they were my own following your routines, respecting your home, and making sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, exercised, and spoiled with plenty of belly rubs (and treats, if approved!). Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, senior, or needs medication, they’re in capable and caring hands.
“Katie is so kind and generous with her time and took great care with our babies. When we had a delay in our travels home she was very quick to respond and schedule extra drop-ins which made us feel at ease. We will definitely be using Katie again and highly recommend her.”
“Erica is so wonderful with our little kitty. I selected the wrong dates and didn't realize until we were on our trip. Erica quickly made the adjustments and rushed over to take care of our fur baby. She's incredible!”

“Our dog Levi loves Mirna!! She did an amazing job caring for him and communicating with us about his well being!! We felt at ease knowing she was caring for him while we were on our trip. We will be asking Mirna again to care for Levi when we go on another trip. Mirna is professional, caring, and loves pets!! We are so grateful to have met her on Rover!! She has our five star recommendation!!!”
About: I have pet sat for friends and family throughout the years and have developed a special love for it. I have skills administering meds to cats and have three cats of my own! I am a current student, however, with summer coming up, my schedule is completely open! I would love to work with you to figure out the best way to ensure your pet has all the attention they need! I treat every pet as my own and every home as my own, with the upmost respect and care for everything in it! If there are any specific house rules, I would be glad to accommodate them!
“Shannon was fantastic! She kept us informed on her arrivals and the care summaries were very reassuring. We appreciated the pictures too, which kept us encouraged that all was going well with our little buddy. She made sure to give him lots of attention and reassurance, and kept him well fed. We highly recommend Shannon and will definitely seek her out for future sitting needs.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She took amazing care of our dog and sending us daily pictures and updates. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone mindful and experienced in regards to medical precautions and how to navigate mildly aggressive behavior.”
About: I have been dog, cat, fish, and house sitting for over five years and I love it. Animals bring me so much joy, so being about to make a living caring for them is truly something special for me. I will provide the absolute best care for your animals and make sure that know just how loves they are! I have experience waking average sized dogs as well as giant breed dogs and I am confident in my ability to handle them all. I am knowledgeable in dog training techniques and how to successfully bond with and control new dogs. I pay attention to detail and am an always on time. With me, your dogs won't just feel at home, they will feel like they're in heaven! My job allows me to be free in the summer time, so my attention can all be directed to the pet care that I offer! I always pay close attention to where an animal is going and what they are eating. I will never let your pet get into something that is unsafe or not for them. I also do my best to keep your home well cared for along with you pet!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little kid, I was always watching my neighbors pets. Since then I was a dog dad to a German Shepard/Rottweiler mix. I currently walk dogs on the WAG! app as well and have 18 five star reviews. Pet care fits into my daily routine very well. I am a full time photographer and create a schedule to fit my photography and pet care. I treat all pets as if they are my pet. I love to give pets and scratches but will make sure the pet is healthy and well taken care of. During the walk I make sure to have water and check in with the dog to make sure they aren’t too hot or tired.
About: I have a good experience caring for senior dogs because I had my own dog who passed away three years ago. He was a 17-year-old Lhasa Apso and had been my best friend since I was born. He was blind and had trouble moving around, so I learned how to help him safely and give him the care and attention he needed. Over the past three years, I’ve also taken care of puppies, active dogs, older dogs, and dogs that needed medication, for quick walks, overnight stays and even long periods such as a 5 week stay. I’ve even cared for kittens and senior cats, making sure they were happy, healthy, and well looked after. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for pets with different needs and personalities. Monday: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (parents home all day) Tuesday: All day (parents home all day) Wednesday: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (parents home all day) Thursday: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (parents home all day) Friday: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (parents home all day) Saturday: All day (parents home all day) Sunday: All day (parents home all day) • Available for dog walking, pet sitting, and daycare. • Can care for pets while parents are home on weekends. • Evening weekday care after school; some flexibility for short walks or check-ins. I always make sure pets are safe, happy, and comfortable in my care. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, give medications when needed, and make sure animals are never left alone in unsafe situations. Pets staying at my house will always be one at a time(unless from the same household) to ensure they get my full attention. I have a two-story house with a fenced backyard in a safe neighborhood, and we’re close to a public park for walks and playtime. Pets can enjoy a clean, calm, and secure environment, and owners can trust me to treat their animals with love, attention, and respect at all times.
“First time using Rover. Monica is a pleasant and quite person. She was on time to the visits, completed the task I requested, and was very easy to communicate with clarifications and minor changes. She was not rushing and several times ended up spending more time with my dog than expected. My dog liked her very much and she took time to spend with him. She was very respectful to my home and proved herself trustworthy. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Shahla was incredible! She watched my cat and rabbit for about a week and sent me constant pictures, videos, and updates. I only expected her to clean the litter box and feed them, but by day 2, she was playing with them and giving them love. I was surprised because both animals are very shy to new people, but they must have sensed her natural instinct and warmed up to her immediately. I’m so grateful for her and will definitely use her again.”
About: I grew up taking care of my three dogs as well as friends and families pets as needed. I have been responsible for house sitting, walking and bathing dogs for about 2 years. I am currently home for summer break from university of Oregon. I don’t have a job at the moment so I have a ton of available especially during the week. On the walks and check in with your pets I will make sure to care for them and give them some attention. During boarding and check ins I will make sure to hide treats to make it fun and engaging.
“Julia was beyond professional and friendly! She was on time to all appointments. Communication was great. Kitty was well taken care of and we appreciate that! We have already booked Julia again! Thank you!”
“Jennifer did an amazing job and made us feel very comfortable, She updated us on the whole process and sent us pictures of our little guy. Will definitely be using her again when needed!”
About: I have always had pets growing up and I loved to take care of them. I also often watched my neighbors dogs when they were on vacation. I love being around pups and love to be active, go on walks and play with them. Starting in August, I’ll be working in Irvine from 7:30-4pm, so I’ll be away during the workday. On weekends, I’ll be home most of the day studying, which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pet. They’ll get lots of attention, walks, snuggles and play time throughout the day :) I do not have any other pets or children. I like to create a relaxing and calm atmosphere so your pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away.

Cass took such wonderful care of our cats while we were out of town for the weekend! She was consistent with her visits, played with them, sent us pictures every visit, and kept in constant communication with us. She brought so much peace of mind for my family knowing our cats were showered with so much love and care! Thank you Cass!! ✨
Rachel took care of our 13 year old Viszla for 11 days with excellence, great care and a personal touch!! We so appreciated all the special care she gave him!! We had peace of mind while being away. Rachel communicated regularly and effectively about his eating, exercise and general well being which we appreciated so much!! Rachel is a dog lover who gave our dog so much love!!! We give Rachel the highest recommendation!!
Mirna has very warm grounded energy! My dog instantly loved her, we both felt very comfortable with her. She took perfect care of my giant goofy dog. Great communication and fast response. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future! Thank you again!
This is our 2nd time having the honor of Ariana caring for our tiny Yorkie! Our little girl is very picky about who comes into her World! yet with Ariana Minnie gives her the paw of approval! When we returned, she was balanced clean and happy! This little pet is a family member and Ariana feels like family to her! She is sweet, friendly, caring and very cautious with our little Minnie. I hear she handles gentle giants, medium and in between. Minnie is a teeny Yorkie! 5 pounds and Ariana knows exactly what she needs. I don’t worry one bit! Five stars all the way!
Sabrina & Marc were great! They visited at the scheduled times and made sure to send us plenty of pictures so we knew Peaches was happy and being well taken care of. I highly recommend Sabrina & Marc and will definitely be having them watch Peaches for us again when we go out of town.

My pups loved Lainie! They can be picky eaters, but they ate for Lainie right away. Lainie took good notes about all of their likes and she is really great with my fur babies. They felt at ease with her, and I trust her walking them too. I plan to have Lainie come back and do house sitting soon.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Trabuco Canyon stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
