Tyler made my first time using Rover a wonderful experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my kitten. My kitty can be very shy and fearful, but she warmed up to Tyler right away — she truly has a way with cats. Tyler consistently sent photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my baby was well cared for. She went above and beyond, and I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to others.

Beverly will love your dog like her own! I was sad to leave behind my dog but she sent lots of updates and went above and beyond. She spent extra time giving him more pets and fetches. Really a gem of a dog walker! Thank you Beverly!

About: Hi, I’m Sarah — a licensed, insured, Pet CPR/First Aid certified pet care professional with over 20 years of hands-on experience. I provide calm, structured, home-style care for dogs who do best in a smaller, quieter environment rather than a loud, chaotic facility. My home is set up for comfort, routine, and supervision — where dogs can relax, play, nap, and settle in naturally. I’m home full-time and keep my group intentionally small so each dog gets real attention, not just rotation-based care. Some dogs love playtime, some prefer lounging, and others just want to be near a human — I adjust to what helps each dog feel safe and comfortable. Meet & greets are required for all new dogs. I only accept dogs who are social, manageable, and able to coexist respectfully with people and other dogs. If a dog is not a good fit for my environment, I won’t move forward — safety and stability always come first. I’m experienced with puppies, adults, seniors, shy dogs, and dogs who benefit from a calmer pace. If you’re looking for personalized care in a real home with an experienced sitter — not a crowded kennel — I’d love to connect. I’m home full-time, and caring for dogs is part of my daily routine from morning to night. Pups start their day with breakfast, outside time, and gentle play or walks. Throughout the day, I balance playtime, enrichment, and rest so everyone stays happy and relaxed. Evenings are calm — think cuddle time, soft music, or a cozy movie while everyone settles in. I keep each dog’s routine as close to home as possible so they feel safe and comfortable right away I have a secure fenced yard, safety gates, and one friendly resident dog who was raised in a doggy daycare environment and helps new guests feel at ease. I keep my group small so each dog gets personal attention and close supervision. Dogs are matched by energy and comfort level — some love to play, others prefer to relax. I can easily crate if needed, but most guests feel right at home free-roaming under calm, watchful care.

About: As an elementary school teacher, I have dedicated my career to caring for and nurturing others, and I bring that same patience, responsibility, and compassion to pet care. I’ve always loved animals and understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles or simply having a calm caring companion, I am committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am dependable, attentive to details, and happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, or daily routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide peace of mind for pet parents and have a fun, positive experience to their furry friends! 🐶 As an elementary school teacher, I have a very flexible schedule during the summer and am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I am also available during the daytime on weekends and can often accommodate a variety of schedules. I love spending time with animals and look forward to providing them with plenty of attention, exercise, and care while helping pet owners feel confident that their furry family members are in good hands. 🐾💕 I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to provide care that matches their normal routine and helps them feel comfortable and secure. I have a spayed, 11-year-old female Yorkshire Terrier who has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care, especially as dogs get older and require a little extra love and attention. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I also respect each pet's personality, whether they are energetic and playful or prefer a calmer environment.

Mia took care of my 3 cats over New Years weekend. It was my first time with Mia being my cat caregiver, and I cannot be more happy with how professional and lovely she was with my babies! She communicated perfectly with me throughout the weekend, including updates, and pictures of my cats which my husband and I were delighted to see throughout our trip. She truly loves animals and has a soft demeanor with them, which I noticed the first time she came to meet my kitties. I would highly recommend Mia to care for your animals and will re-book her again and again! Im truly grateful that I found her.

About: College student athlete aspiring to be a veterinarian with multiple years of clinic, dog sitting/ care, and many more experiences. Ive taken care of puppies to senior dogs of all sizes and am trained in pet CPR and first aid with advanced experience in administering any medication as needed. I have also worked at a dog day-care where I am advanced in caring for the basics, walking your pet properly, and having fun! Hi! I recently graduated with my B.A. in Biology and am working part-time as a veterinary assistant in Diamond Bar, CA. My hours are 9 am-6 pm on Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday. Other than that, I am very open to any opportunity. In your home, I always like owners to let me know beforehand what is expected of me. This includes walking times, feeding times, potty times, medications, and, for overnight stays in your home, I like to know basic home amenities, such as how often to bring in the mail and when to take out the trash. I also would like to know how many times throughout the day you'd like to be contacted, whether that be an update on your pet or photos.

About: I have taken care of pets and been around pets since I was a child. I mainly specialize in cats but I have experience with medium and little sized dogs too. I have had my own 2 kitties for about 8 years. I am a gig worker and I love having flexibility. It is great for being able to drop in and play with your animals or feed them. With my knack for attention to detail I can easily pay mind to any specific instructions I may need to follow. I give my pets love, patience and understanding and would treat your animals with the same respect I give my own.

About: Been a dog lover my entire life! I enjoy caring, playing and walking dogs! I had dogs my entire life and had a English Bulldog for 10 years before he went to heaven. Most recently I discovered cats and have owned a cat for 2 years! Cats are cool, interesting and awesome! Message me for your pet needs! I am a very active person and enjoys walking, it would be even better if I could walk a dog to keep me company. I work remotely, and have a flexible schedule to fit your needs. I’m laid back but organized with dogs. I let dogs stop and smell anything along their walks, and will allow dogs to have freedom to play and explore. I became a cat lady!! Luna is 2 years old and lives with me. She’s chill, and naps & plays all day indoors. I did train her to go outside in our fenced backyard, she doesn’t roam off. 👍🤗

About: Hello, I’m Krystal 👋🏼 I am so excited to meet your furry family members! Dogs have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them, and because my entire family still has dogs, I am constantly around them. Having previously owned a Doberman, I am entirely comfortable, confident, and experienced with large breeds and strong dogs, I love small dogs, too. From high-energy pups who need tons of exercise to sweet, gentle giants and tiny lapdogs, I am ready to handle dogs of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. I promise to treat your beloved pet with the exact same love, patience, and care that I give to my own family’s dogs. I can't wait to give your pup a fun, safe, and happy experience. I work from home full-time, which gives me a highly flexible schedule. Because I am remote, your pet will have constant company, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Safety is my top priority. Growing up around dogs of all sizes and energies—including my own Doberman—means I know how to read dog body language and maintain a secure environment. My apartment has a patio in the back, your pet can catch some sun there if needed, too.

About: I’m confident in caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds. I’m comfortable and capable of handling strong dogs safely. I’m gentle, patient, and genuinely caring with all animals, and I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs extra reassurance, I provide calm, attentive, and loving care so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I work overnight, which means I’m available during the day and most mornings through the afternoon until 5 PM. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and consistent care during the daytime. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, and quality one-on-one time, making pet care a natural and reliable part of my daily routine. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, given fresh water, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention.

In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions carefully, including medication, special feeding routines, or training guidelines. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication, and I always provide loving, calm care so pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a West Covina stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
