“Rachel provided excellent care for our cat. She was very kind, thoughtful, and went over and above. We will definitely rebook any time we need a sitter in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Alyssa! Animals have always been a big part of my life. From an early age, I’ve cared for family pets and helped friends with everything from daily walks to overnight stays. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, cuddles, or simply keeping a routine, I provide reliable and loving care that makes pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every animal as if they were my own—because I know they’re family. I would love to take dogs on walks in during the early morning hours or in the evening. I’m available to stop by and do check-ins during the day as well! 🐾 Care Elements I Prioritize Routine Consistency — following your feeding, walking, and training habits to reduce stress. Safety & Supervision — secure environments, monitored play, and awareness of household hazards. Cleanliness — tidy spaces, fresh water, clean bowls, and regular waste removal. Enrichment — mental stimulation, sniff walks, puzzle toys, and interactive games. Comfort — cozy rest areas, gentle attention, and calm companionship.
“Amanda was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable about pet care and took great care of my two kitties while I was out of town and made sure to update me regularly with pictures of the boys. I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
About: I am a dog mom of two tiny angels. All of which I’ve had since they were puppy’s. They are a 3 year old Brussels griffon mix, and an 8 year old chihuahua. I am a very active individual and I fully understand how much care goes into owning dogs. My goal is to help those who need some extra help with their own fur babies. I work Monday to Friday 8am to 2:30pm. So ide love to help out around my work schedule with what I can. I can go right after work for walks and drop in visits. I have weekends off for boarding and day care. For boarding and daycare, if needed, my dogs can stay with family so as not to upset any potentially nervous or shy pets I live in a ground level condo with a fenced from yard. So easy access to my patio/yard which has turf for frequent potty breaks and sunning breaks. I am fully understanding of dogs that aren’t as inclined around other animals and am completely ok with my own dogs staying with family for boarding or day care to help provide peace of mind for all animals safety.
“An amazing person and caregiver of our four legged furry family. Sensitive to theirs and our needs and gave us a ton of comfort while on vacation. Would absolutely recommend to any and everyone. 10/5 stars”
About: I am retired as of a few years ago, and we just lost our Bailey girl at 14 years old a few years back. I haven’t adopted a new dog since and instead am taking care of our kids dogs when they go out of town but do miss having a dog around. I’ve cared for about 6 dogs over my lifetime, and would love to care for your pup too. We have a huge yard that is fenced in for them to go out and play and a large neighborhood great for walks. A few of the dogs I have taken care, love to run in our backyard because there is room for them to run. Since I’m retired I have plenty of free time to take care of and play with pups. I love dogs and enjoy interacting with them. I want them to be happy and safe. I have a large, fully fenced in backyard and a separate fenced in side yard both of which can be closed and keep the dog inside. I also welcome any crates if a dog feels more comfortable in a crate at night. If a dog is well behaved at night, they could also bring a bed and sleep next to our bed.
“Tianna did a great job taking care of my cat, Jiminey. She was reliable and sent lots of cute pictures. Jiminey eats raw food and Tianna was great at preparing it and making sure he got his supplements. I also appreciated that she took the time to do a meet and greet before we left on our trip. I’ll definitely be booking Tianna again!”
“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 always great. She’s a solid communicator and is very reliable. She always sends me updates about each visit and sends me cute pictures of my little dude where he looks so happy to see her. Can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Erica!”
“Elizabeth helped with drop in visits while we were out of town. She took such good care of my girls, sent lots of photos and gave them so much love! Will definitely book with Elizabeth again in the future :)”

I enjoy going on walks, providing playtime, meals, potty breaks, companionship, and lots of love. I always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your dog.

“Kaylie was great!!! She was very friendly and quick to communicate with, and she did a thorough job with the instructions we left her for caring for our kitties. Our cats loved her too! Would definitely recommend Kaylie and hope to have her catsit for us again!”
About: I have had my maltese, Milky, for fifteen years and unfortunately had to say goodbye to my childhood dog back in 2023. I would love to meet some new dogs and spend more time with some new friends! I have experience working with dogs as I worked at a dog grooming salon. I had always wanted a dog when I was younger and felt a strange connection to dogs, wherever and whenever I saw them. I have also worked with No Stray Left Behind which is an organization that helps adopt abandoned dogs. I’m currently working part-time so have plenty of time to look after or walk your pet! (: My schedule is pretty flexible so it shouldn’t be hard to find availability! I have a fenced backyard that is definitely safer than just letting the dog outside and also live in a cul de sac where I can safely walk the dog if needed!
About: I have an immense love for animals of all shapes and sizes. Ive had pets my whole life. From cats to dogs to rats and to farm animals.

I follow their normal routines and any special instructions from their owners. I also make sure their environment stays clean, secure, and safe while they are in my care.
About: I am the biggest animal lover at heart. I truly believe that pets are family, and they deserve the same love, patience, and attention as any human. I've always had a deep connection with animals of all kinds, and spending time with them brings me so much joy. I have professional experience working at a dog daycare, where I was responsible for supervising playgroups, feeding, administering medications when needed, cleaning, and making sure every dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. I've worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I'm comfortable with high-energy dogs, shy dogs, and everything in between. Safety, trust, and keeping pets happy are always my top priorities. My journey on Rover is trying to work for myself and my furry friends because I love the freedom of constructing my own hours and creating a schedule that works for both me and the pets I care for. To me, taking care of animals is not a job - it is a privilege. I don't take that lightly. Every pet in my care will be treated like my own, with endless love, attention, and respect. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I will be there to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I love being able to create my own hours and work around each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m available for overnight stays, boarding, walks, drop-ins, and extended daytime care. I’m happy to communicate with you beforehand to make sure your pet’s normal schedule is followed as closely as possible while you’re away. Safety, trust & environment Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my absolute top priorities! 🐾 I provide care exclusively in the client’s home, which means your pet gets to stay in the place they know and love while keeping their normal routine. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while you’re away. I’m also very respectful of your home and will treat it with the same care I give your pets. I’ll follow all of your instructions closely and send you plenty of updates and cute pictures, so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, loved, and in great hands! ❤️🐶
“Kylie did a great job taking care of my 2 cats. Sweet, punctual, responsive and overall easy to communicate/work with. I will not hesitate to reach out to her again when I need someone to care for my orange boys.”
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. I work in Irvine from 7:30-4pm, so I’ll be away during the workday. On weekends, I can be home most of the day and spend plenty of time with your pups. 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.
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 that commutes to campus. I will be gone for a couple hours at a time for class, however, 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!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Trabuco Canyon
Elizabeth is kind and you can tell she loves pets. Our Stuart responded well to her immediately on our meet n greet and we felt comfortable with her immediately. She took great care of our senior dog, gave great communication with every drop in. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing she was caring for our dog
As always, Aarthi was super professional and took great care of our baby. She's amazing communicating everything and following new or updated instructions, and she's always very affectionate with our cat. We are very happy knowing our baby is in good hands whenever we have to travel
Lauren watched my cat Lola for 10 days. From the start she was quick to respond to messages. Lauren always left detailed Rover cards with plenty of photos for me to view each day. I could tell Lola was happy and healthy! She even swept up Lola’s kitty litter tracks in the living room. I would happily book with her again.
Lisa did an amazing job caring for my 3 cats and 2 Bunnies who need specialized care. I have been struggling for a long time to find someone who I trust to take care of all of my animals for a while now, and I am so glad that I found Lisa. She was responsive and communicative, showed up when expected, and was very thorough in following my (admittedly extensive) instructions on how to care for my pets including medications for one cat and multiple supplements for the bunnies. She showed good decision making when I was temporarily unable to answer questions, and genuinely seemed to care about the care and well-being of my pets. I can't wait to book her again for our next trip!
Mirna is so caring and attentive with our dog Levi and with us. She communicates very well with us about his care with small details we really appreciate. She is compassionate and adjusted our care schedule last minute since our car broke down while we were on vacation. We so appreciate her flexibility to care for our dog for another day because of our delay. We give Mirna our highest recommendation.
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.
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.
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.

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 .

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.
