“Brittany was so amazing! She took care of our two cats for 10 days while my roommate and I were out of town. We got daily updates and lots of photos that made us feel so much better leaving the kitties alone.”
“Sean was really sweet towards my two cats. This was going to be the first time that I was going to be away from my cats for a prolonged period of time and my cats are on the shy side, so I was initially worried that they wouldn't respond well to him and would give him a hard time. But Sean was really patient and eager to make sure I knew that my cats were being taken care of and I always knew he was doing his best to make sure my cats were fed. Additionally, he was also very responsive to my texts and gave me updates on his visits. I'll definitely be rebooking him in the future!”
About: We are not ready to own a pet full time just yet but I would love to help other owners with their pets. I do have children my youngest being 6 so they do have to be children friendly but I also have a safe space your pet can be separate from them when they want or need to be. I grew up with all different types of animals my whole life as well as worked taking care of, full time, a rescue that consisted of 16 cats, 5 dogs and 5 horses. So I am very familiar with animals and their needs. This is the first time I have not had a pet in my life which is why I decided to join this app. Hope to see you and your pets soon!! I am a licensed real estate agent and mother to three beautiful children. I am available at various times to watch and care for your pets. I love to be outdoors and going for walks. I live in an apartment complex, in the building that sits in the back. I have open space and an outdoors community area where your pet can go for a walk or use the bathroom. I also am comfortable working in others homes with respect to their belongings and personal preferences.
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have volunteered at humane societies for a few years mainly as a dog kennel ambassador. I also have experience with bigger dogs, puppies, and senior dogs! In fact I have had a yorkie since he was a pup and a childhood dog of 15 years! I have taken care of bigger breeds such as husky/wolf mixes and very small dogs such as chihuahuas. Not only that I also have a cat! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I am a college student and have most days free expect for Tuesday and Thursdays after 12pm. Any other day I’m available so don’t be afraid to book! I only do drop-ins and walks but when I am in someone else’s home I make it a priority to be respectful of your space and make sure nothing is moved around or messed around with.
About: *** ALL Time Slots are now filled. Thank you to all who checked in*** I will reActive when slots become available! *please leave a text msg either through Rovers messenger or cell phone text so there is a written conversation for both parties to reference* ** ** Residential walks are 20/hr hikes are 35. Those with a higher energy level I do hikes with but that is all based on the client's age, agility and their leash training. For 1 dog per Hike is $35 With new clients I like to have a "meet and greet" at their pickup location before walking services begin. That way I am not a "stranger" to them for pick up on our first hike and get to learn a bit about their behavior. Hikes involve water breaks as needed but usually at halfway point and at the end of the hike with a paw check. Hikes and residential walks are tracked via gps app which you will get a screen shot of so you know where we went, the distance and time. For hikes I also film for short session videos usually about 35-45 second videos that I send via text message. Treats are optional. I use Hebrew national hot dogs; which are cut into small circles and those circles get cut into 4. So two small circles turn into 8 nibble size treats. If you have preferred treats that you currently use I will use those, or if you don't want any treats used thats ok too. For a 1 hour residential walk is $20 per dog. Usually no water breaks but depending on the weather there may be a halfway point water break. I also film parts of the residential walk and will send a short 30-40 second video via text message. I only do hikes and walks Monday, Wednesday,Friday. I currently have a 7AM slot open Monday, Wednesday and Friday available. **ONLY 7AM slot available** I have to pick up my son from school so I only walk dogs during the morning hours. I take care of my dogs at home. One is a senior that takes an oral medication twice a day. Sorry I don't do boarding.
“Jane is awesome! We have a reactive Chihuahua and Jane handled our first meeting with patience and a great attitude. We're looking forward to continue working together and providing our dog with a trustworthy caretaker”
About: As you can see in my photos, I am a HUGE animal lover. I have my dog, who I cherish more than anything on this earth, and had four pet rats(rest in peace). I have experience with cats, rabbits, rats, hamsters, and a variety of different animals. I work with many different animal rescues & volunteer/donate regularly to help out as much as I can-I believe it is what I was born for. However, dogs have by far completely stolen my heart. I’ve owned dogs my entire life since I was a little girl and have only worked at dog grooming shops & stores. I have experience with dogs up to 150 pounds, I do not discriminate towards any dog, regardless of size or breed. I love them all. I love to surround myself with dogs, I think they are too pure for this world :+) It is a firm belief of mine that no client should ever have to worry about the care of their dogs while under a sitter’s watch, and I guarantee a wonderful, worry-free experience. I am currently unemployed and do not attend school, so I am available for 24/7 care if needed! I have my own pup to take care of, but my family takes care of her while i’m away :•) I know how to handle dogs very well & have lots of experience with dog trainers. As I can not bring any pets inside my own home, I can take all necessary precautions to make sure your pet is loved and cared for as if he/she were mine.
“We were new to the neighborhood and were worried about finding a sitter for two shy cats who had been through a chaotic move. Alina was thoughtful and well attuned to their needs. 5 stars!”
About: I have hands on experience raising two energetic and loyal German Shepherds. I offer a balanced approach to care, with focus on creating an stress-free , fun and safe environment. I’m currently working in La Crescenta from Monday- Friday 7:30am-4:00pm so I have all afternoons free to walk or drop in on your pets while you’re away. I can also do a quick drop in from 11:30am- 12:30pm At the moment I can not care for pets in my home but in a clients home I would get clear instructions from the client for house rules, feedings, medications, etc. Get to know the home and routines of the pets and have emergency contacts to call.
About: Hello, my name is Charlie! I have been a dog owner for 13+ years and recently said goodbye to my best friend. I have missed having a dog around and started pet sitting for friends and family and absolutely loved it. I have a house in Glendale with a fenced in backyard in a very safe neighborhood. So whether it's a day time visit or a fortnight stay, I have exactly what you need. My top priority is SAFETY and I will watch your dog like a hawk while they are with me. I know the hardest part of travel is leaving your pet with a stranger so I strive to make both pets and owners feel comfortable. I am a part time actor and have a very open schedule so your pet will never be alone for long periods of time. I love to cuddle on the couch, take walks around the neighborhood or play in the yard. Please let me know if you have any questions for concerns, thanks! I am a part time actor so I have a lot of free time waiting around for auditions haha! I typically spend some time at the gym but otherwise I am home all day and available for your pets! I have a fenced-in backyard in a very safe, walkable, neighborhood. My top priority is safety and I promise to keep a close eye on your dog especially when outdoors. I have no other pets in the home so they will get all my focus and attention and I do not invite others over while your pets are here, so there will absolutely be no strangers around them. Happy to accommodate any special requests (medications, vet visits, feeding requirements, necessary lullabies lol)
About: From hamsters and lizards, to cats and dogs, I have been a devoted pet parent (and aunt) my whole life. I absolutely adore my Shiba Inu and treat her like the princess she is. I would be honored by the opportunity to walk or hang out with your dog and provide anything they might need. I have experience with training as well as pet-sitting and checking in on dogs of friends and family. I am currently a freelancer and work from home. I can be available with short notice mornings, afternoons, and sometimes evenings. Just let me know and we can work something out (: I live in a home with a fully fenced yard. My dog loves to play out back and on the front lawn. There's plenty of room indoors as well.
About: I've had dogs my whole life and have been dog sitting/walking since I was young. I love getting to know new dogs and look forward to making sure your dog is in great care, so you can be away worry free! I maintain a flexible work schedule as I work from home and make my own hours - I am available for last minute bookings and walks. Safety and communication are my number one priority. I prioritize following any house specific rules and special needs for your pets or household. Plus as a photographer, I love sending great photos of your pets to you while you're gone!
About: I have pets of my own. I see pets as part of family so the care I provide is same as for my fuzzy love bugs, lots of luv and snuggles and maybe some extra treats if permitted ;) I know what’s it like to be away from your fuzzy friends so I will provide regular updates if you wish so. Available on weekdays/ weekends- mostly flexible schedule. Can stay overnight if needed, available on holidays. Can stop by for short time to check on your pets, play with them and feed them. I am available to stop by, walk/feed and care for your dogs or cats. I am also available to stay overnight if you are traveling and need full time care for your pets.
About: Have been working with animals my whole life. Whether it’s dealing with dogs with medical needs or cats. Whether it’s dealing with health issues or active pets I have done it all. Training pets and introducing different pets to each other to administering medications I have done it all Pets are my daily routine. Having dogs and cats has taught me how to mange my time and providing everything my pet needs. From doctor visits to their weekly showers I care for my pets as if they were children. They need constant attention and care. I have a older dog who has poor eyesight and my oldest male has become her walking partner. Working with animals is something I have always felt with and wouldn’t change it for the world
About: I’ve had my anxious baby boy black cat since he was a little foster kitten in 2020. I also grew up with a crazy maltipoo, birds, turtles, and more, so I’m very comfortable caring for all types and personalities! I’m currently working part time as a nanny for human babies, so I have plenty of odd hours to help with your fur babies too! I’m happy to follow any safety and care instructions you have. I can play with more social animals or be gentle and quiet with more anxious pets.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Verdugo City
Ru was so amazing with our dog Sienna! She took care of Sienna for 3 1-hr drop-in visits while I was out of town for work. I loved that she sent lots of great photos and updates. Sienna was clearly well cared for and had so much fun! I would definitely use Ru again for Sienna!
Tomoko was wonderful! She took great care of my cat for two weeks and kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. My cat was happy and well cared for the entire time. I really appreciated her kindness and attention, and I would definitely book her again. Highly recommend!
I was so impressed with Michelle and Liz. They played with my (very active) cat and I was never worrried for a moment. I felt like my cat was being taken care of by a friend. This was the first time I left my cat alone with ANYONE and I was very nervous about how she would do but I got pictures of her cuddling and playing with Michelle and Liz and I felt so relieved every day. I would definitely use them again. They were a godsend.
Barbara is the best sitter! She takes care of my cat Lancelot every time we travel. She gives him a lot of love and affection, and will go far and beyond to take care of unexpected things that happen when you travel (like plumbing issues). Thank you, Barbara!
We’re so thankful we found Maria to care for Odin and Loki. She was on time, kept us in the loop, and the boys were clearly happy and relaxed with her. From the first meeting, it was obvious she had a natural way with dogs, and we felt comfortable. She stayed responsive to our questions and made the whole experience stress-free. Truly grateful for her help — we’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her!
What a thoughtful and responsible caretaker! Larissa kindly fed and played with my 3 cats, including a pretty crazy panther-kitten; I felt like they were in great hands, she followed my instructions to a tee, and even the shy cat came out to play with her. Hope to be able to book her services for my future trips away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
