I am always a little hesitant to have new people watch our pups but this time I decided to try rover and I am so happy that we did. We did a meet and greet with Nikki and she was absolutely wonderful. Our dog Bob immediately wanted belly scratches from her and Roxy, our blind, senior dog who normally shakes when she hears new voices, was completely calm. She got to our home just right on time and gave us a lot of updates while we were away. She took our dogs out for a potty and she texted me pictures of Bob and Roxy throughout the night which I really appreciate. I already have her booked for another date and I’m so happy we met Nikki. Thank you for taking care of our pups.

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! ❤️🐶

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 an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for our cat, Addy, while we were out of town! She was extremely reliable, always sending detailed updates and photos after every visit. It was clear that she genuinely love cats; Addy was happy when we returned, and the house was perfectly tidy. We especially appreciated how she handled her wet food, playing with her, and a last minute home trash request. Highly recommend her for peace of mind!

Rachel is amazing and wonderful. So glad we found her to check in on our 3 dogs. All our dogs are comfortable with her and enjoy her company. She is detail oriented and makes sure our dogs are well taken care of. She takes pictures and videos of them when she drops in for a visit. She is also super flexible and understanding when we have change of plans. Pick Rachel as your go to Rover person!

About: I have 8+ years of pet sitting experience, in addition to caring for my dachshund from ages 2 to 14. Since her passing last year, we have a pet-free home and backyard suitable for hosting dogs and cats and a lot of love and attention to give. I am currently job-seeking, which can be done from any location and allows me to have a completely flexible schedule, all days and hours of the week. I have a 2 story home with a fenced in backyard with grass. We have dog beds, dog stairs for the couch, and a small crate available.

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.

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.

About: As an animal lover since a small age, I’ve always been the go-to neighbor and friend to care for other’s beloved pets while they’re away. It’s a bright spot in my day to share some time with furry family members. I love cats, and I’d like to think I’m a bit of a cat whisperer. We have two cats, Bartleby and Butterscotch, both rescues. I understand cats can be timid with new people and need time to feel safe to reveal themselves. I feel I’m good at communicating my intentions and seem to gain their trust quickly through finding just the right way to speak and pet them. Dogs are wonderful companions. I always hate to travel and leave our 5 year old Frenchie named Brutus behind. I had the honor of training him since he was 10 weeks old. Brutus came along right as our senior rescue dog Bill was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease and needed daily medication to help treat it and eventually wearing diapers around the clock. Bill was a Yorkie-poodle mix with skin allergies and needed daily medication. I got to experience the senior dog that was slowing down and needing more care while training a high energy puppy. So I’m fully able and ready to care for dogs at any stage of their lives. I’m great at meeting them we’re they’re at and gaining their trust. I’d be more than happy to help care for your cats and dogs! I’m working part time and have time in the mornings, and after 2pm until late into the night for any help you may need. I am happy to take your dog on walks and play with them, as well as feed and spend time with any cats you may have in your home.

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!

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.

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!

Nancy is amazing! Even though my cat is wary of people and hid when Nancy stopped by, she still went above and beyond during every visit. She made sure my cat had everything she needed, always leaving plenty of fresh food and water and checking the litter box. Nancy was easy to communicate with and even took on the extra task of watering my plants when a heat wave rolled in. I’m so happy I found her and will absolutely be using her again in the future!

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.

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 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.
