“Vanesa is amazing!! My cat Penny warmed up to her so fast. She was great with communicating with me everyday with pictures and videos to make sure my cat was safe the entire time. Extremely friendly and even left us a cat treat at the end of the drop ins. Would 1000% recommend Vanesa to anyone looking for care.”
About: I've been taking care of my own pets and other people's pets since I was in middle school. In college I volunteered at the local humane society to take pups for outings and walks so they could get out of the shelter for a bit and spent lots of time in the cat rooms giving pets and playing with the cats. I have had two senior dogs so caring for dogs or cats who have medication routines or special needs is no problem for me. And while I am not a dog trainer or a professional I am currently working with my dog, Banshee, on his reactivity and being in public spaces. Just know that while your fur babies are in my care I'll love on them and treat them like they were my own! I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I can make most arrangements work! I can also make odd-time arrangements work if that's something you need. While I cannot currently host additional pets in my home, I think taking care of your pet in their "comfort zone" is often the best option. You can trust that I'll take my shoes off inside and be the perfect guest while taking care of your beloved pets.
“10/10!! If I could leave more stars I would!! Maizy went above and beyond for my sweet boy and made sure he was loved and cared for while I was away:) She truly cares about animals and always goes the extra mile to make sure even senior babies or those with anxiety are at ease. Plus she’s the sweetest!! Book with her! you won’t be disappointed!!”
“Jennifer was the absolute best. I get so anxious and overwhelmed with leaving my special needs cat when I need to travel, but she was so wonderful with her and came right on time every day to bond with her, give her medication, and send detailed updates. I'll absolutely book with her again!!”
“Katharine has been a great Rover w my dog. She got her to eat even tho my dog is very picky to eat when we are not home so that to me means a lot and tells me my dog felt safe and secure with her in their visits. I will definitely book her again.”
“Gina took great care of our babies and sent the most amazing pictures every night! She was very helpful and proactive, and spent a great deal of quality time playing with them during each visit. Would definitely love to book Gina to care for them again in the future! Thanks, Gina!”
About: I have tons of experience from working at a vet hospital walking, cleaning, and administering medications orally when I was younger. I volunteer at a local animal adoption agency so I have been around multiple personalities. I personally just lost my handsome Jackson recently and was an amazing dog. That said, can handle big or small, young or old. I was a stay at home mom getting back into the swing of things. I’m available during the weekdays currently but depending on the situation, open to talk about weekends if it works out. First and foremost, treat others like you would want to be treated. This includes respect for animals and clients homes. I will always be respectful, kind and loving.

I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s)! Message me! I am very flexible and accommodating.

About: Hi! My name is Audrey, and I specialize in providing attentive, high-quality care for pets in a safe, calm, and nurturing environment. I have a genuine love for animals and take pride in delivering a personalized experience tailored to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I currently work at an animal hospital, where I’ve developed hands-on experience in animal care and the confidence to handle a wide range of situations with professionalism and care. I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all temperaments and needs, including senior pets, animals with medical conditions, and those who require extra patience and attentive handling. My veterinary hospital background has given me the ability to provide calm, confident, and compassionate care in any situation. While I may have certain days marked as unavailable, I welcome you to reach out at any time—my schedule can be flexible, and I am often able to accommodate requests whenever possible. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I look forward to the opportunity to provide thoughtful, dependable care for your beloved companion. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your needs—I would love to assist. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. At home, I care for our family dog, which includes feeding, walking, playing, and ensuring they feel loved and well-taken care of. This has helped me develop a consistent schedule and a deep understanding of how to meet a pet’s daily needs. Whether it’s my own family dog or pets I’m entrusted to care for, my days naturally revolve around ensuring they are happy, healthy, and cared for. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, loving, and pet-friendly environment tailored to their specific needs. I ensure they have a comfortable space to rest, plenty of playtime, regular walks, and a consistent feeding schedule. Since I care for my family dog daily, I’m well-practiced at providing structure and attention to make pets feel at home. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow the routines and instructions provided. This includes feeding, walking, administering medication, and spending quality time with their pets to ensure they feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment. Whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize each pet’s unique needs and strive to offer professional, attentive, and loving care.
About: You might notice I don’t have many reviews on Rover yet, and that’s simply because I’m new to the app, not new to pet care! I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for years through friends, family, and regular clients outside the platform. I bring a deep love for animals, hands-on experience and a calm, reliable energy that pets naturally respond to. I’m now using Rover to connect with more amazing pet parents and I’d love for you to be one of them! I am a former volunteer of the Prince George's Animal Shelter in Maryland, As a volunteer, I would walk and feed all of our dogs and cats too! Over the years I’ve learned how to communicate with dogs and read their body language to access needs.I’d like to think of myself as the dog whisperer :). I have toys, treats and love on hand at all times to ensure your best friend has a great experience! Also, as a former doggymom,I know the deep love we have for our children and I will do everything to ensure your fur baby is cared for and protected. I’m great with training, super active, and love to explore LA! I am a child developmental therapist who only works from 3-8pm weekdays so I’ll have plenty of time to help with your fur baby during the day and on weekends! I love to get up in the morning to run and take walks in the LA sun, perfect for your pet :) I am extensively active and have done extensive research on pet enrichment, figuring out what they need to be stimulated and happy is my number one priority.
“Victoria was absolutely incredible. It is always difficult to leave my cat behind as she struggles with separation anxiety, but I had such peace of mind during my trip due to Victoria’s level of care for her! She was extremely reliable, kind, dedicated, considerate, and communicative, and my kitty seemed so happy with her. She left my home spotless and went above and beyond to provide updates — I loved all the photos and videos. I felt like my cat was in great hands and I can’t thank Victoria enough for a wonderful experience!”
About: I am an animal lover looking to earn some extra cash doing something I enjoy! I grew up with dogs and cats myself so this would be a perfect job for me. I'll make sure to keep your friend happy and occupied while you are away at work or whatever responsibilities you have to take care of. I'm perfectly fine with most sized dogs and can keep a handle on them during walks. I love playing with animals, so keeping them occupied won't be an issue. I'm good at taking direction so if your pet has any special concerns, I'll take care of them and make sure they are happy and healthy!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Van Nuys
Anya and Dana were perfect! They sent pictures and updates every day and even responded to last minute requests from my apartment building. I came back to a very content kitty, who probably barely realized I was gone. I appreciated their attention to detail during our meet & greet and they were able to give my old lady lots of love and care while I was away. I would absolutely book them again!
Kaitlin is the best sitter we could have ever asked for. She’s kind, considerate, thoughtful, thorough, and sent plenty of intentional photos and descriptions while we were gone! She’s the absolute best and we would be so lucky to work with her in the future.
Marina did a wonderful job! She was very friendly, easy to work with, and kept me updated the entire time. If I ever leave on another vacation, I'll make sure to see if she's available. If you have cats and want to make sure they're well looked after, please consider doing the same!!
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Cassidy! She was incredibly nurturing, responsible, and attentive, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely cared about our fur baby. She treated our little one like her own, giving them lots of love, attention, and care while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat, which gave us such peace of mind. We highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with our Freddy again! Hire her now and you will not be disapointed.
Jennifer was the absolute best. I get so anxious and overwhelmed with leaving my special needs cat when I need to travel, but she was so wonderful with her and came right on time every day to bond with her, give her medication, and send detailed updates. I'll absolutely book with her again!!
Katherine was great at being on time and doing everything she was supposed to for my cat Arya - wet food, topping off fountain and refilling spare water bowl, cleaning litter box and taking a photo of Arya. She was communicative and let me know if there was anything wrong and brought in my Amazon package! She left great notes after each visit. Will book again in the future!
Jackeline has watched my cats a few times and she always does a fantastic job. I feel like she really cares about my boys and gave them lots of love and spoiled them appropriately while I was gone (as requested). Very communicative and always leaves everything as nice or nicer than I did. The best sitter I’ve had on Rover so far!
Heaven was right on time, respectful, kind, and communicative. She was wonderful with my senior cat and handled a long list of medication and care instructions with such grace. I really appreciated her visit and look forward to having her care for my cat again.
Bethany is a caring and thoughtful person. She watched our cat for 8 days (longest we’ve ever been away from our cat) and she took the best pictures and made sure our cat was happy and had company. I can’t recommend Bethany enough, she loves animals and is extremely reliable.
Minerva did such a fantastic job. I was a little worried since we needed her to care for a lot of pets with different foods, but she handled it all gracefully. She was also very accommodating to the times we needed her to come. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is detail oriented and trustworthy, your search can end here! Thank you Minerva!
Dana is a wonderful and thoughtful sitter. The photos that she sent of our dog and cat showed how happy they were with her. We felt secure in our choice of sitter and would definitely choose Dana in the future. She even watered our tomatoes while we were gone! Excellent sitter all around!

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.

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.
