About: I’ve been a huge animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I helped my aunt foster and rehabilitate dogs and cats, which gave me experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I learned early on that every pet is different and deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. I currently have two adorable cats and a pit bull/Lab mix who are my whole world, so I’m very comfortable caring for both cats and dogs, including larger breeds. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and figuring out what makes them happiest, whether that’s going for walks, playing, cuddling on the couch, or just having someone nearby to keep them company. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, and I’m always happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you know they’re safe and having a good time. I have a pretty flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available Mondays and Wednesdays after 12 PM, Tuesdays and Thursdays after 3 PM, and I’m available all day on Fridays and weekends. Whether your fur baby needs a walk, some playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to work with their normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I understand that trusting someone with your fur baby and allowing them into your home is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. During drop-ins, I’ll always respect your home, follow any instructions you leave, and make sure doors, gates, and anything else your pet could get into are secure before I leave. On walks, I’ll keep your dog safely leashed and pay close attention to our surroundings, other dogs, traffic, and anything that could make them uncomfortable. I’m also happy to send photos and updates during every visit so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and being well cared for.
About: I have plenty experience with dogs and cats in my personal life and as a walker. Grew up with many animals in the home. I also have year long experience walking dogs for an app. I am currently a student with a lot of free time. I’m available most days, just prefer the afternoon to night time. I mainly offer dog walking but a drop in visit can also be arranged. When it comes to walking dogs, I bring my own potty bags and expect to be provided a collar and leash. While walking I do my very best to avoid other dogs and keep good communication with the owners when needed. With a drop in visit I keep communication open with the owners and focus on the pets while following any written instructions. I do not bring any treats for the pets in case there are dietary issues/allergies it may trigger.
“This was our second time with Anica checking on our three kitties while we were out of town, and she was great just like the first time. She is communicative, follows instructions, and genuinely cares for our cats. I’m so glad to have found someone local that I’ve been able to rebook and anticipate we’ll continue to request Anica for future times we’re away!”
“Megan is wonderful! She cared for our two cats while we were on vacation and did an amazing job. She sent great pictures and updates and helped us by keeping an eye on our mail and plants, too. Highly recommended!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Kai!!! This is my first experience using Rover as I did not want to put my boys in a kennel while I was away for a few days. Since my pups are a bit senior I wanted them to be in the comfort of their own home. Kai saw my boys twice a day, was consistent and timely and great at communicating with me how everything was going every time he saw them. I was a little nervous initially with allowing someone in my home while I was out of town, but Kai is completely trustworthy and made sure to lock everything up in between his visits. I HIGHLY recommend Kai for taking care of your pet(s) when you have to be away from them :)”
About: I’ve always loved cats and feel very comfortable caring for them. I’m patient, gentle, responsible, and attentive to each cat’s personality and needs. I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, loved, well-fed, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to play with them, give them attention, and keep you updated with photos. I only work for about four hours in the evenings on Fridays and Saturdays. The rest of the week, I have plenty of time to spend with your pets and give them lots of attention, care, and company. I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for pets. I always follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules and daily routines. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and playtime, and I’ll keep you updated with photos while you’re away.
“Ariana is our hero! She’s such an angel. It was our first time leaving our cat alone at home for a week. Ariana visited twice a day and was phenomenal. Our cat Dany has a lot of anxiety (just like her mom) so for Dany to fully trust Ariana was so comforting. Ariana was super clean and followed all of my detailed instructions. Dany loved her and we received so many pictures and great communication. So excited we found the perfect cat sitter for the future.”
About: I have fostered cats since 2020 and have volunteered at my local animal shelters since 2018. I am familiar working with cats and kittens of all ages and needs (bottle feeding - seniors) and can confidently give medicine and clean pets with extra needs. I have worked with small dogs throughout this time (helping stimulate/play and clean them up) and have taken care of young puppies <1 year overnight with around the clock care. I am completely free on weekends from 4am-10pm and am flexible with my hours especially if overnight care is needed. I work full time on weekdays and have a flexible schedule which allows me to work remotely from 7am-4pm. I am free for visits and caregiving 4am-6am and 4pm-10pm on weekdays. I am comfortable and willing to respect your animal’s boundaries where needed, and I will do whatever I can to ensure your pet is safe. I understand some pets are shy and some are more social, and am comfortable working with all types of personalities to cater to their needs as necessary. I can supervise eating/bathroom use as necessary and provide extra stimulation and play time whenever needed.
About: I love caring for and protecting all animals; dogs, cats, other mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and/or insects. Essentially if it eats, breaths and needs maintenance, I am able to take care of it. I've had several dogs in my life, from small to large sized dogs. I have also owned a couple exotic pets that required unique needs and diets. I have no issue with cleanup or waste removal that may be needed while caring for any extended family member. Not having any other obligations other than "Rover" (besides my GF) I am able to dedicate my full attention on the services I am providing to care for the loved ones I am entrusted to. I have experience and I am able to train, if requested.
“Kimberly has been very kind and is a great pet care giver. She knows what to do as far making your pet feel very comfortable with love and attention. Thank you Kim for taking care of our 6 year old cat Honey 😊”
About: I am an animal lover who is also a mother so I am well trained in patience, kindness, understanding, serving and guiding! I show respect to all living things and I stand up for anyone who might not have their own voice to. I have a lot of availability as I am fully dedicated to this job! I'm open to on-going jobs or just one time help, anything you need. I have a very safe home in West Hills. When I care for pets I make sure all their needs are met including food, water, play, clean body, clean environment and love!
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and always found myself helping friends and neighbors to train their dogs and look after their cats. It is beyond rewarding to see the comfort and relaxed nature of pets develop as a result of training and devoted care and time. I have experience with cats raised from birth, and fostered dogs from unfortunate situations (most recently a stubborn husky who learned to play at 9 years old). In addition to happy pets, my goal is to support busy pet owners with pet clean up and organization recommendations to help make your life easier and more time to appreciate your furry friend. I work full time and am a returning college student with a consistent schedule and experience managing hectic calendars. I maintain a promise to stick to all appointments and communicate promptly regarding any changes and/or updates. I am available during the week after 6pm, and on the weekends from 9am to 5pm. Please feel free to message me with any questions and we can troubleshoot appointments and care that work for you. I cater to all animals based on their needs and comfort levels. From highly energetic play, to quiet company, I focus on building trust with your pet in their safe space to reduce stress and help support structure and routines. I welcome conversations with you to understand what is most important in your expectations and the elevated treatment of your pet(s).
“Cynthia was wonderful! She was friendly, professional, and very communicative throughout my holiday trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even went above and beyond by bringing my packages inside for safekeeping. I’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Julia is so sweet and Rocket really loves her! As an over the top dog Mom, I trust Julia 100%. She is professional, polite, responsive and you can see her love for animals. We are so happy to have Julia to come check in on Rocket!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs. I had a Samoyed and a multipoo myself for many years. I love how affectionate dogs are. I am great at sticking to feeding schedules. I enjoy petting and playing with a dog kindly and gently. I have a big backyard that is fenced where a dog can run and play safely. I work part time, not everyday, and just a few hours a day, so I am a great companion to your sweet lovable pet. I am gentle, caring, loving, warm hearted. I am very empathetic to pets because they are loving beings. I will often take them for bathroom breaks, pet, and feed on schedule. I want the pet to feel safe and happy and the owner to relax and enjoy their time away. I have a fenced backyard. I accept cats or small dogs only. The pet will have space to run and play. I am gentle with my voice and my affection to the pet. I have a big heart and am also good at keeping a feeding schedule. I am warm hearted and responsible.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Hills
We had an excellent experience and couldn’t have been happier with the care our dog received. She was extremely reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout the entire time we were away. She kept us updated after every visit with great photos and messages, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She also frequently spent extra time with her beyond the scheduled visit, making sure she had plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. It was very clear that she wasn’t simply checking off a visit—she genuinely cared about her and wanted her to be happy and comfortable. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and everything had gone perfectly. It is a huge relief to find someone you can completely trust with your dog and your home while you’re away. We would absolutely book her again and recommend her without hesitation. Five stars!
This was our second time with Anica checking on our three kitties while we were out of town, and she was great just like the first time. She is communicative, follows instructions, and genuinely cares for our cats. I’m so glad to have found someone local that I’ve been able to rebook and anticipate we’ll continue to request Anica for future times we’re away!
Danielle us the best! Very caring and very thorough with her check ins. She is very caring with my fur baby. She goes above and beyond. She is definitely my go to from here on out. I've used Roverr alot and She has been the best ever!!! Thank you again Danielle. 🥰
We found Christine on Rover and were immediately impressed by her glowing reviews and experience. Since our senior dog can no longer handle the stress of a kennel, we booked Christine for 2 drop-ins a day over a long weekend. She was incredibly professional, arriving for a meet-and-greet to learn our home layout and expectations. Throughout the stay, she was perfectly on time, spent a full 30 minutes playing with our pups during each visit, and ensured they were well-fed. The frequent photo updates were a huge relief for our family. Christine has truly earned our trust and our dogs' hearts—we will definitely be booking her again!
Aubrey is amazing. She took such wonderful care of my senior kitty and took the stress away from being away from her. Sending pics and videos, making sure to address my particular concerns over kitty’s comfort. She also made sure to tidy up any mess my kitty made during the week which was a big help. Thank you for taking such great care of everything during the holiday, Aubrey!!!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
