“Jennifer was so communicative and took great care of our pups, who can be a bit challenging. We were worried our anxious girl would be difficult to get harnessed and out the door, but looks like she had a great time, and we loved getting photos of her walk, along with all her friends at home, who need less attention. Thanks, Jennifer!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up on a ranch, I helped raise and care for all kinds of animals including rabbits, cats, and dogs, learning hands-on responsibility and compassion from a young age. I bring decades of experience and have a special love for senior pets. Since 2011, I’ve rescued and cared for older dogs, giving them comfort, attention, and love in their final years. Two of my own cats lived to be 20, so I understand the dedication needed for long-term care. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior pet, I treat every animal like family. Friends and neighbors have trusted me for years to nurture, love, and care for their pets and I’d be honored to do the same for yours. I work part-time remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate to your pet. This allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship tailored to each animal’s needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide attentive supervision, and maintain a calm, comfortable environment. With decades of experience — from ranch animals to senior dogs, cats, and small pets — I provide patient, loving, and reliable care that pet parents can trust.
About: Lifelong animal lover based in Ventura. I’ve had small dogs my entire life (two currently!) and have cared for three long-lived cats over the years. I’m reliable, calm, and attentive with both energetic and more independent pets. Comfortable with senior pets, medications, and detailed care routines. Available for walks and drop‑ins. Serving Downtown, Midtown, and beach areas. I'm semi-retired and have a very flexible schedule. I'm able to do multiple visits a day and I am often available last-minute. Time of day/evening/night also flexible. At home, my two rescue pups, Lucy and Ethel, have pretty free run. They usually sleep on my bed and are never far away when I’m relaxing on the sofa. When caring for clients’ pets, I aim to provide the same consistency and comfort they’re used to, following your routines and preferences as closely as possible.
About: I am hyper-attuned to your dog's needs ensuring your pets sense of trust and well-being is secure. Showing up and being present is my priority! I work primarily from home, and my schedule is flexible from the morning to early evening time, making it easy to schedule service times that work conveniently with your schedule and pet needs. Routines and consistency are important to ensuring a dog's sense of the world and trust because they can anticipate what to expect each day. With my own dogs, I wake up and take them for a jog first thing in every morning. The routine accompanied with the daily exercise makes for very happy, well-behaved and content dogs. I will bring that same perspective to your pet's life. Additionally, I am a long time Rover customer and when I was single and working 9-5, I relied heavily on my dog walker and sitter to show up daily, on time, in a loving, attentive way. For those of you who are away from your pets for long periods, please know that I understand the importance of being that consistent person in their life who shows up on time and meets their needs in your absence. Being a Rover walker and drop-in visitor is my way of giving back and saying thank you for all those who supported my pups for so many years!
“Catherine went above and beyond in making sure our Gigi was loved and cared for while we were away. We felt very comfortable leaving Gigi with someone who was genuinely a great person who was attentive and proactive. Thank you so much Catherine!”
About: Recently came back to rover. I mostly do private pet sitting for fun. I love all animals, I am patient, and I enjoy going on walks and runs. I can follow special instructions for different dogs that require special attention. Which includes pets that require medication or special feeding routines. I have cared for dogs from as little as 2 pound yorkies to full grown golden retrievers. I will make sure that your pet is well feed and loved under my care. I will give your dog the attention it deserves and treat it like my own. I also currently own two mixed dogs that were adopted and a toy yorkie. I am currently a full time student, Which limits my avaliability. If a house sitter is needed on a Thursday as well which is not listed on as an option I will be available to start after 5pm. I’m always willing to try and make schedule accommodations that work best for YOU!
“Leanna was great per usual and is always a friendly face for our cat when we’re gone. We had some last minute travel changes due to the wildfires in Northern CA, and she was very accommodating and helpful. Thanks, Leanna!”
About: Animals have always been family to me, and after struggling to find reliable care for my own pets, I became that person for others. With 9+ years of experience, I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and playful kittens to seniors needing extra support. I’m skilled in administering medications including insulin, steroids, allergy treatments, and subcutaneous fluids. I currently care for my own special-needs cat, so I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Whether it’s maintaining daily routine, giving medications on schedule, or simply providing comfort and companionship, I care for every animal as if they were my own. My priority is making every pet feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. 🐾 I have an open and flexible schedule, which means I’m available to care for your pets any time such as weekdays, weekends, mornings, or evenings. Whether you need daily visits, overnight house sitting, or extended care, I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine and provide consistent attention, exercise, and companionship whenever you need it. When caring for pets in their own home, I make it my priority to create a calm, safe, and familiar environment so they feel completely at ease while you’re away. I follow your care instructions closely, from feeding routines and medication schedules to walks, playtime, and bedtime habits to keep everything consistent. I’m attentive, respectful of your home, and treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Jessica did drop in visits with our sweet cat, Ralph for a week while we were out of town. Ralph is very much of a dog like kind of cat that gets lonely and needy for love and cuddles so it's always so hard leaving him. We could not ask for a better person to spend time with our little buddy! Jessica is such a sweet and kind person, I knew right away I had found a perfect match for us. This is going to sounds crazy, but our cat can pick up on "high strung" or "anxious" types of personalities so he isn't always as comfortable with those kinds of people.. we know from certain family members interacting with him lol! But Jessica is honestly such a sweet soul and mellow personality that I knew Ralph would instantly connect and feel comfortable with her & he totally did!! We will absolutely be asking Jessica to sit with him from now on whenever we need someone! She sent several pictures and gave updates, couldn't ask for anything better. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Ralph had someone loving on him while we were gone. We could not thank you enough, Jessica!”
“Ashley was AMAZING with our cat Gigi. She was always on time, energetic and playful, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable being away from her. I got so many adorable pictures and videos of my cat having a blast. She helped us and our little girl feel so comfortable being apart. Definitely book her!!”

“Perla is amazing. She didn't miss a beat when I gave her the wrong house key. My cats warmed up to her right away. Her demeanor was so calm and lovely. I will certainly be contacting her in the future.”
“Sienna exceeded our expectations! She cared for our Gigi with such thought and enthusiasm and gave Gigi all the lovin' she could while our family was away. We are so glad to have found her during this summer season and we hope she can love on our Gigi another season 😆. Thank you so much Sienna for being amazing.”

About: Hi, my name is Brooke, I am a special education teacher who has had animals through out my life. I now live in a smaller apartment and I can’t have my own pets but I’d love to spend some of my free time over summer taking care of your pets. I grew up walking big dogs and walking neighbors dogs who are on the smaller size. I am reliable and trustworthy. I have pet sitted for friends and families, and over my years as a pet owner had to give medication to my own animals including shots, eye drops and oral medicine. I am a special education teacher in summer break and my schedule is pretty flexible. I am open during day and night hours and hoping to spend my extra time with some furry friends. I am respectful of others spaces and will do my best to make your pet comfortable while I am in their care. I want to make the time feel at ease and peaceful for pet owners and pets themselves.

River was very enthusiastic and sweet, and was thorough about the pre meeting with the kitties and learning their behaviors. My cats were clearly very comfortable, and my shy cat even let River pet him, which is unusual since he's a bit of a scaredy cat, so I'm impressed! Thank you for taking care of them!
Ashley was AMAZING with our cat Gigi. She was always on time, energetic and playful, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable being away from her. I got so many adorable pictures and videos of my cat having a blast. She helped us and our little girl feel so comfortable being apart. Definitely book her!!
Time and time again, Lilly has proven to the most consistently wonderful cat sitter I have literally ever had. Attentive, responsive, caring, and Lilly goes above and beyond making sure my cat is happy and healthy. If you're reading this, not hiring Lilly would be a loss on you and your pet's comfort.
We couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much, Jennifer! This is the first time we have used this service and Jennifer was perfect. The animals loved her right away. She sent us photos every visit. We felt so secure that our pets were taken care of while we were away. We will definitely book Jennifer again if she’ll have us. We can’t thank you enough!!
Kelsey dropped in and cared for our cat while we were on a cruise. We were able to set up a meet and greet beforehand which gave us peace of mind. Kelsey sent a lot of pictures of our cat which we appreciated. Kelsey was very attentive to our cats needs, highly recommend!

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.
