“Jennifer was amazing! She did just a few visits for a short business trip but I felt so confident and able to be fully present for work. Great communication and mature decision-making, and seemed to really enjoy taking care of my boys. I'm booking her for an upcoming vacation already. :)”


About: I am a responsible, caring animal lover with many years of personal experience looking after pets. Before moving to the United States, I had different animals throughout my life. They were always part of my family. I have cared for animals through every stage of life, from birth to old age, including during illness and at the end of their lives. These experiences taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of paying attention to each animal’s individual needs. I truly miss having animals in my everyday life, and I would love to help you care for yours. I will follow your instructions carefully and give your pet kindness, attention, and companionship. I currently work only on Tuesdays and Fridays, so I am available on the other days of the week. I offer drop-in visits to care for your pets in your home, as well as dog walking. I would be happy to give your pets care, attention, and companionship while you are away. During home visits and walks, I will follow your care and safety instructions carefully. I will respect your home, make sure doors and gates are securely closed, and keep your dog on a leash during walks. Please share any special needs so I can provide attentive care.

About: I've watched dogs for others for years, starting with my former dance instructor when I was a teenager to now and my client list has grown exponentially over the years through word of mouth. While most of the dogs I've cared for are seniors and have a special place in my heart, including my own now, I also love to care for those with more high energy and enjoy walking and playing. I make sure to communicate any issues that arise as soon as possible and accommodate to your pets needs as if they were my own. I currently work full-time, but can dedicate lots of love and attention to your pet whenever I'm off work or on my lunch break if it’s close by. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of food, rest, and exercise depending on yours and their needs. When pet sitting, I like to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I know having a new body around can be stressful, but I always manage to have pets feel comfortable and happy when I'm around. I also clean up after myself, to the point where you won't even know I was there, as well as your pet if there are any messes that need to be cleaned--bathroom accidents, vomit, etc, I've cleaned it all!
“Elena was wonderful. We used Elena for morning drop-ins for 9 days, primarily to feed our 2 dogs. She communicated well, sent pictures of our dogs each day, and was prompt. Our fur babies were very comfortable with Elena. We highly recommend Elena and plan to use her again, and in fact, we have already booked her again.”
“Yilian was wonderful with our dogs. She provided drop-ins to primarily feed our fur babies; and she ensured their blankets were in their beds, tidied up the garage and yard, and played with them while she was at the house. She communicated well and promptly, sent us updates and pics. We will definitely book Yilian again!”

“Chloe was so helpful in helping us get our 10mo old bernedoodle pup to daycare. We appreciated that she took the time to come and meet us prior to the reservations times as well. She’s so sweet with him and the pics she shared tells us he feels comfortable with her. Thank you again Chloe! Highly recommend to anyone”


“Mahsa was very quick in responding to my last minute request while I was travelling and my cat seemed to have really warmed up to her even at first visit. She is professional and attentive to specific requests and is ofcourse great with cats. I highly recommend and will definitely reach out again if needed. Thank you!”

“Jiaji is wonderful! She came over for house visits to feed, clean, and play with my 3 kitties. She is patient, kind, and very communicative. You can tell she really cares about your pets and home and follows your instructions well. I will definitely book Jiaji again for my future trips.”


About: I absolutely love animals. I've grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have two cats at home. Previously experienced with caring for my senior dog who had CKD. I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats of different sizes and temperaments as I'm currently working as a vet assistant and studying to be a registered veterinary technician. I recognize that every pet parent has their individualized way of caring for their pet and I strive to support that. Your furry kid means a lot and you should feel confident and comfortable with their care. I currently work 4 day weeks, 10 hours a day. I have three days throughout the week and nights after work that are available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting. I do my best to maintain a safe environment, staying aware of harmful materials, chemicals or products that a pet could get into. Removing or storing these items safely to avoid any negative exposure. Especially for young pets (and labs) that will eat anything.

“Yancy was great! She picked up our bernedoodle from School and drove him safely home. Kept us updated and even took the time to meet all of us prior to the visit. Will def use again! Thank you!”

About: Our biggest advantage is that we have no pets of our own, so we can offer exclusive, one-dog-at-a-time care. This is especially suitable for dogs who are anxious, dog-selective, reactive around other animals, or simply prefer human companionship. I’m a working professional, while my mom stays at home and absolutely loves dogs. We care for every guest together, so your dog receives plenty of company, attention, and affection throughout the day. Together, we have experience hosting more than 50 dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. We live in a pet-friendly building with a beautiful dog park downstairs and typically provide morning, lunchtime, after-work, and evening walks based on your dog’s routine and needs. Exclusive single-dog boarding is available for an additional 20%. If this option is not requested, we may host up to two compatible dogs at a time. Please share any behavioral needs or triggers with us in advance so we can provide a safe and comfortable stay. My mom Fang stays at home so she is able to look after your dog during the day and go on as many walks as your dog needs. We do the morning and evening walks together. I have a two-floor studio apartment where your dog can access freely. We have a dog friendly community in the gated neighbourhood with a beautiful dog-park right across the street.
About: Hi, I’m Jasmine — a dedicated dog walker and sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and training levels. I share my home with three standard poodles, all agility- and obedience- trained, and I’ve fostered and rehabilitated countless rescued “oodles of poodles.” My background includes whelping litters, supporting dogs in distress, and providing structured, confidence-building care for nervous or high-energy pups. I hold a Fear Free Shelter Certificate of Completion and I’m certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. Whether you’re traveling for work or taking a much-needed vacation, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. With three standard poodles, pet care is already part of my everyday routine. I plan dedicated blocks for walks, drop ins and dogs who needs extra care. I provide calm, consistent, and safety-focused care whether a dog is in my home or theirs. I monitor behavior closely, keep the environment clean and secure, and use Fear Free handling to reduce stress.

About: Hi! I’m Divya, a big dog lover and the proud owner of a Husky named Yukon, so I’m very comfortable caring for active and energetic dogs. Huskies need a lot of exercise and attention, which has given me great experience with long walks, playtime, and understanding different dog personalities. Over the years my husband and I also watched many friends’ dogs for free while they were away for a day or a weekend. Because of that, I’ve had experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I live in the East Bay and love taking dogs on long walks around the neighborhood or to nearby parks so they can get plenty of exercise and stimulation. Whether your dog needs a walk, a quick bathroom break, or someone to spend time with them while you’re out of town, I’d be happy to help. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and always try to follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible. Just let me know what your dog likes, their habits, and anything I should be aware of so I can make sure they have a great experience. I’d love to help take care of your dog and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I’m currently working from home a few times a week and available for weekend boardings. My husband and I usually are home during the week. Weekends we usually spend a lot of time with our husky. He’s super friendly not overly talkative dog and loves all dogs of all sizes. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and have flexibility to take in a crate or use my dogs large one. We take our dog out 4-5 times a day depending on the day.
“Brianna was very patient and caring with Amber. She kept us updated and sent us pictures every day, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Amber maintained a healthy weight after our trip, which tells us that she was comfortable and not too stressed while we were gone. We truly appreciate Brianna’s dedication and the wonderful care she gave Amber. Thank you so much!”

About: As a proud parent of a 6-year-old Ragdoll, cats are a central part of my life. I routinely pet-sit for friends during their travels, which has given me extensive experience managing multi-cat households. I understand feline body language, respect their boundaries, and know how to handle everything from energetic play to managing separate feeding schedules and keeping litter boxes pristine. Whether your cat is a social butterfly or a shy kitty who needs time to warm up, they are in safe hands. For the pups, I am all about staying active! I am the go-to hiking and jogging buddy for my friend’s Golden Retriever, so I am well-versed in handling various breeds. My flexible work-from-home schedule blends seamlessly with pet care, allowing me to easily step away for reliable morning cat drop-ins or mid-day dog walks while giving your pets the consistent attention they need. As an outdoor enthusiast who loves hiking, tennis, and Pilates, I have the natural stamina and energy to match active breeds like Golden Retrievers, Doodles, or Corgis on the trails, yet I deeply cherish the quiet, grounding moments—whether that's practicing a workout with a kitty on the mat or providing patient companionship for a shy cat. Because I love to travel myself, I understand exactly how stressful it can be to leave your furry family members behind, which is why I am dedicated to providing the ultimate peace of mind with prompt communication and plenty of happy photo updates. When caring for your cats in the comfort of your own home, my top priority is maintaining their familiar routines to minimize any stress while you are away. I treat your home with the utmost respect, ensuring that everything from meticulous litter box scooping to pristine feeding areas is kept exactly as you like it. I know that cats are creatures of habit who feel safest in their own territory, so I tailor my visits entirely to their unique comfort levels—whether that means engaging an energetic breed with interactive toys, giving gentle chin scratches, or simply offering a quiet, reassuring presence nearby for more independent kitties. You can travel with absolute peace of mind knowing your home is secure and your cats are receiving dedicated, loving care, complete with detailed updates and plenty of photos after every single visit.
“Jasmine was a great choice for watching our pets while we were on vacation. She came over a couple of times prior to the trip to make sure that she understood everything and it helped the pets get comfortable with her. While we were gone, she came on time every day and sent plenty of pictures. I would use her services again without a doubt. Thanks Jasmine!”

Ayda was amazing with our cat, Jerry. He can be a little shy of strangers but took to her immediately. Ayda sent lots of pictures and detailed updates each day. You can tell that she’s really a cat lover and knows exactly how to take care of them and interact with them. I will definitely have her cat sit for us again!

Jennifer was amazing! She did just a few visits for a short business trip but I felt so confident and able to be fully present for work. Great communication and mature decision-making, and seemed to really enjoy taking care of my boys. I'm booking her for an upcoming vacation already. :)

Jill was wonderful. She was so patient with my shy cats and made sure they ate! She also cleaned up after them when they were messy. I really appreciated all the great photos. This was the first time my cats and I had a non family member take care of the cats, and Jill took care of my anxiety as well as my cats’ needs.

Jinhao was a pleasure to work with! He is very easy to communicate with and very responsive, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. He arrived right on time and it’s obvious he has a lot of experience and a genuine love for animals. My cat Sumo took to him almost immediately! Jinhao took care of all the essentials: feeding, fresh water, and scooping the litter, and also spent quality time playing with Sumo. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future.

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.
