“Nina and Leo were very kind and attentive to our cats and gave us a detailed update during every visit. It felt great to have them check in on our cats while we were gone!”

“This was my second time using Linnea as a pet sitter for my cat Rhys and once again, she was excellent! Very reliable, great communication, and I knew that Rhys was in great hands!”

About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember, starting with Ginger, my family's German shepherd and husky mix, four cats, fish, and pet rodents growing up. I later spent about two years volunteering at my local SPCA, working hands-on with dogs of every size and temperament, from bouncy puppies to nervous rescues. I've also had cats of my own as an adult, including two rescues, and fostered kittens before I started traveling. Since then I've cared for pets through farm stays and housesits across Costa Rica, Panama, Spain, and Canada — dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, goats, sheep, pigs, a donkey, as well as an adult pet rabbit. 😊 I'm comfortable administering medication, working with anxious or senior animals, and managing multi-pet households. I'm calm, attentive, and treat every home and animal I look after like my own. I'm currently transitioning to the San Mateo County area temporarily starting early November and building my schedule around pet care full-time, so I have plenty of flexibility for house sits, and daily visits, including extended or last-minute stays. I don't currently have a conflicting 9-to-5, which means I can commit fully to a pet's normal routine for the length of a booking rather than fitting care in around other work. Since I focus on house sitting, I stay at your home rather than asking your pet to adjust to a new environment. I follow feeding, medication, and walking routines exactly as instructed, keep the house clean and secure, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I don't bring other pets into the home, so your animal gets my full attention for the whole stay.
About: I started pet sitting by caring for friends and family pets. Since then, I have dog walked, and provided dog sitting services in owner’s homes. I’m excited about the opportunity to start caring for your pets from my own home. I am a student at SFSU and update my schedule to reflect my availability throughout the week. When not at school, I’m generally home throughout the day and would be happy to help with walks, check-ins, or pet boarding. When house sitting or checking-in, I will make sure to be respectful and courteous while in a clients home! In my home, we have one senior dog who is usually sleeping and likes to keep to himself. Separate spaces area available for meal times and bathroom breaks.
“Tillana is a wonderful cat sitter! She’s very experienced. She knows how to engage our senior citizen cats and keep them happy. She’s also great at giving medicine and making it easy for the cat. We love all the photos she sends and the extremely detailed reports of how the kitties are doing, what they’re up to, and if she noticed anything different. Tillana goes above and beyond to care for our cats, keeping their litter box super clean, and deep cleaning their water fountain. She also just has a great “cat sense”. She knows when a cat wants attention or quiet time, and if they want to play or just be carried around and watch the birds. We’re so lucky to have Tillana as our cat sitter and we gladly put our full trust in her to take care of our kitties.”

Whether it's a puppy, an active adult, or a senior dog, I provide expert care that ensures your furry friend feels loved and well-cared-for—giving you peace of mind while you're away! I’m available 7 days a week to provide top-quality pet care and pet sitting, making your furry friends my full-time priority. With years of experience, I ensure each pet gets the attention, love, and care they deserve, no matter the day or time. I understand the importance of reliability, so I always respect your schedule and your time, making sure that I’m there exactly when needed. Whether it’s daily care, overnight sitting, or just a check-in, you can count on me to give your pets the best care, every time! When caring for pets in my home or your home, I tailor the care to ensure the pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would with their owner. **In my home**: * I create a cozy, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and interaction. I keep their routine as close to what they’re used to, including meal times, exercise, and any special needs they may have. I provide supervised playtime, enrichment activities, and of course, lots of cuddles. If they’re staying overnight, I make sure they have a safe, quiet space to sleep and rest, while offering the same attention and care they'd get at home. **In your home**: * I follow the pet’s usual routine closely, whether that’s walking, feeding, or simply providing companionship. I’ll respect your home’s rules and your pet’s personal space, making sure they feel secure and happy in familiar surroundings. Whether it's playtime, administering medications, or just giving them affection, I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect. I also make sure to keep you updated with regular check-ins or photos, so you can feel connected and reassured while you're away. Ultimately, I provide personalized, loving care that reflects your pet’s individual needs and routine, whether they’re in my home or yours.
“Sophia did an excellent job of caring for our two cats, one who is very mischievous and the other who is a bit finicky and also needs medications. She kept us up to date on their daily activities and sent photos too which we really appreciated. She also took great care of our garden. We feel very fortunate to have found her. We feel confident that she will take good care of our cats and our home too.”
“Sukky (Siqi) is an amazing Rover cat sitter — incredibly attentive and truly knows how to interact with cats. Hoohoo was so well cared for, and reading her daily update notes genuinely made my day every time. She’s thoughtful, observant, and clearly experienced with cats. She also went above and beyond what I expected: she helped brush Hoohoo’s fur, tidied up the living room, and took absolutely fantastic photos (I’m literally using them as my phone wallpaper!). On top of that, she even drew an adorable little sketch of Hoohoo — such a sweet and personal touch. I’m so grateful for everything she did, and I will definitely book Siqi again next time. Highly recommend!”
“Nicolette was amazing! She took care of my cats, Pepper and Salty, over two days and went above and beyond. She scooped the litter boxes, gave them treats, played with them, and made sure they felt loved while I was away. She even took out the trash when she was done, which I really appreciated. I could tell Pepper and Salty were in great hands. I highly recommend her!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up my family always had dogs and I was trusted at a young age to feed, walk, and otherwise care for them (which included administering medication to dogs who were not always the most cooperative). I have also been riding horses competitively for over 20 years and was a member of the University of Georgia Division I Equestrian Team. Although I was surrounded by horses during my time in college, I desperately missed my family dogs and as a result started house and pet sitting for people in the Athens area. My junior year my roommate got a dog and I frequently chipped in to help with his care when she was out of town or had a particularly hectic schedule. After college I attended law school in Washington, DC where I continued to house and pet sit for my friends, other residents in my apartment building, and others in the community. I graduated from law school in May 2025 and have since moved back to the Bay Area (I grew up in Menlo Park) as I am in between professional opportunities. I have found that I have some extra time on my hands and so I thought I would get back to house and pet sitting, this time specifically through Rover. In the past I have always gotten clients through word of mouth, which is why my extensive experience is not necessarily reflected on my Rover profile. At this time I am house and pet sitting on a part time basis, but I have a lot of flexibility as most of my other daily commitments can be easily fulfilled from any location; this means that if you have a pet that prefers constant company I can easily work from your home so your pet can get everything they need. I feel comfortable administering medications and am used to feeding animals with more complicated diets/food regimes. I have experience caring for animals of all ages. I am responsible, trustworthy, communicative, detail oriented, and most importantly love animals, which means that you can be worry free while your pet is in my hands. I am also very neat and conscientious, so if I am staying at your home I will take very good care of your space and your plants (if necessary). At the moment I am house and pet sitting part time, but my schedule is quite flexible so I have quite a lot of availability. I can drop in for walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, cat litter cleanings, etc basically every day of the week any time before 7:00 pm. My one schedule restriction is a weekly appointment on Wednesdays from 3:00 - 4:00. I update my availability often and will make sure that any other schedule restrictions that come up are reflected on there for your convenience. When it comes to house and pet sitting that involves me staying at your home, I am available for that any day of the week. I can complete most of my other professional commitments (Monday - Friday) remotely from your home, so your pet would not have to be alone all day while I went to work. I am unfortunately not able to bring your pet to my home at this time, so all care would occur at (or around in the case of walking) your home. I will follow whatever instructions you provide regarding the care of your pet. I feel comfortable administering medication, managing complicated diets, and dealing with picky eaters (my dog is a very picky eater and I have learned a lot of tactics that work well for him and other dogs I have cared for). If your pet uses any sort of automatic feeder, litter box, etc I am a fast learner and feel confident that I would be able to work with most devices of this sort. I likely would generally walk your pet around your neighborhood, but if time permits and that is something you would like/feel comfortable with I am happy to take your pet to a local dog park, park, hike, etc. My dog loves playing with frisbees and balls, so if that is something your pet enjoys I would be more than happy to do that as well.
About: 🐾We’re an engaged couple simply looking for more time with pets! We’d love to give your pet the care and affection they deserve while you’re away taking care of yourself. As a couple, your pet gets double the love at no extra cost. 🏡 We also only care for one pet (or one family) at a time so they can get plenty of attention with us. We especially enjoy boarding or day care in our home. We have a private fenced backyard that allows for plenty of space to play, and we do not have pets or kids of our own. 🚶Walking is one of our favorite things to do together and would love to have your dog join us! 🥰We cannot wait to meet your furry family member and give them a home-away-from-home! One of our favorite things to do is go on walks together. We always joke and say we’re meant to have a pet, so we decided to do Rover! We have no pets or kids in our house and we plan to take care of one pet/family at a time so we can give them our full attention and make sure they are as comfortable as can be. We also have a private fenced backyard.
“Isabella took great care of my cats and was very communicative whenever there were any issues. She took the time to clean after them and send me cute pictures every time!”
“Aik came by the house before his petsitting visit to learn where everything was... he followed instructions perfectly and sent a picture of the one cat who came out to see him when he was here. Looking forward to having him take care of the cats, house and plants again!”
“Thank you so much Deborah! You were right on time which is very appreciated with my schedule. I can tell that Moose loved her walk and was perfectly tired out when she got back. Thank you for refreshing food and water as well. I know I’ll be in touch soon.”

I cannot thank Yifan enough for their incredible responsiveness and care. I had an emergency come up and reached out to them last minute—Yifan made herself available and went straight to my house right after I contacted them. Knowing my cats were in such prompt, caring, and capable hands gave me total peace of mind during a stressful situation. I’m so grateful to have such a reliable cat sitter—I highly recommend Yifan to anyone looking for someone truly trustworthy!
Marilyn is the absolute best! We have a senior kitty named Zelda who is on a daily medication. Right before we left for an international trip we needed to find someone quickly who felt comfortable giving a senior kitty medication, but would also help give her the love and attention she needed while we were gone for an extra long trip. Marilyn had no fear and quickly picked up the task! Marilyn was very knowledgeable on the medication and found ways to help give Zelda the medication comfortably. She also sent us so many amazing photos and daily reports so I knew exactly how Zelda was doing. Marilyn is simply one of the best humans and we will definitely be booking again with her in the future!
Thien-Nha is absolutely wonderful and I’m so lucky to have found her. She’s reliable, responsive, and incredibly kind. Even my super shy kitty came out of hiding to say hello when Thien-Nha came over. I feel she really goes above and beyond for our pets and that is simply invaluable. Will definitely hire her again for our next trip.
Vanessa was great with our small dog grizzly and two cats. Grizzly can be grumpy but Vanessa won him over quickly and everything was very smooth. She was flexible, communicative, and professional. We will definitely book again in the future and would recommend to anyone looking for someone to take good care of their pet!

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 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.

- 80% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
