“Dana was great, again. This was the first time we asked her to hang with our pups while we were gone for a week. Her report cards were detailed and left me knowing our pups were well taken care of and happy. I highly recommend Dana or short or long stays. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Sarah was super responsive, and such a great caretaker for our kitty! She listened to our requests and provided thoughtful, care, so we never had to worry about how our guy was doing. Highly recommend!!”
About: Hi! I’m your pet’s new favorite human 😉 and a reliable animal lover who loves keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I grew up with cats and dogs and have become the go-to sitter for friends and family when they travel. I’m happy to care for pets based on their personalities—whether that’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like part of my own pack (or clowder 🐾). I work from home so I have a flexible schedule and open availability, including weekends and holidays, and I’m an early bird, so morning feedings, walks, and check-ins are no problem. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine and provide consistent attention, care, and companionship to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I follow their routine closely to create a calm, loving environment.

“Great daily communication and cared for my baby so well🙏🏼 Samwise, my cat, is normally very angry with me when I return from a long trip but not this time, seems like he’s got a new best friend and didn’t even notice I was gone😭 I highly recommend Africa to anyone looking for someone who will not just watch your pet but care for them 💕”
“Great communication and an instant positive connection with the dogs! She was amazing and I didn’t have any second thoughts or stress knowing my dogs were in such good hands. I highly recommend Jacqueline if you want a caring, punctual, and responsible dog sitter who is capable of handling any and all challenges thrown her way!”
“Kati is fantastic! She has a good head on her shoulders and knows the right thing to do without any fuss, but also follows all directions given. We will be booking with her again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Valley Center
Josh was a life saver for us! We just moved to California and needed someone we could trust to watch our cat and he was exactly what we were looking for! He was so helpful to us, allowing us to still be able to travel and do what we need to do and know that our cat has a friend to look after them while we are away. So grateful for Josh, he is a must book, you won’t regret it!
Josh was great and I booked last minute since I just moved to the area. I had a bad experience with a previous pet sitter which left me traumatized and Josh understood that and ensured he would take good care of my cats. I appreciate the check ins and pictures and it helps put me at ease when I am away from home. Overall it was a good experience especially being so last minute and despite a few of my cats being very shy he tried to make sure they all were fed and well taken care of.
I have not travelled much recently and am very anxious about leaving my big needy cat Ajax. Anna's excellent care allowed me to relax and savor my wonderful vacation with family on the east coast. I loved getting her check-in reports and photos on check-in and read the mini-chronicles of Ajax aloud to my family every day. Ajax is not generally a cuddlebug and can be very bossy so I was worried that he might give Anna a hard time, especially about not being able to go outside on his leash. To my delight, Anna the pet whisperer cultivated a beautiful relationship with Ajax over the ten days. I came home to a happy cat and pet areas considerably tidier than they are when I'm here:). In short--great communication, great care, and great comfort for this anxious pet owner.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
