“Jenny was absolutely amazing. She came over for a meet and greet and brought both the cats and dogs treats. They instantly loved her. She is very responsive and very good with animals. My two dogs and two cats sat at the door after she left waiting for her to come back. She sends daily updates and took such great care of all of my four-legged kids. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants their animals to be well cared for. Thanks again Jenny!”

“Susie is wonderful. Communicative, thorough, and thoughtful. Cared for our apartment as well as our pets. Cat got her twice daily oral medication and dog got pets and walks. Will book again if I can. Thanks Susie!”

“Lauren was super kind and sweet toward our dogs. Thankful to have her spend a couple weekend with them so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She followed instructions left and sent almost daily pictures of our loves. Would book her again!”

“Amy is the best dog sitter we could have asked for. I pride myself on how much I take my dogs on adventures but Amy even surpassed what I do for my own dog! Amy took my dog on numerous wonderful adventures while sending me amazing pictures from their adventures. When Amy left she left a gorgeous hand drawn picture of our dog. I recommend Amy to anyone with a pet that they like and want to leave in good hands. 5 stars. A+ dog sitting! Will hire again!”

“Aurora was truly a gift having her dog-sit our precious girl Sadie. She was caring, responsive, gave many updates throughout the long weekend and made me feel at ease while I was away knowing that my dog was in good hands. Thank you Aurora. You are top on my list for future dog-sitting needs.”

“Trina took incredible care of our dog Dolly, taking things like the weather into consideration and also keeping in constant communication with us. She left the house spotless and even tidied Dolly’s toys up.”

“Natalie was so great!! She was very kind and flexible and even left the house clean. She sent me lots of updates of the dogs and followed all the instructions. This was my first time having someone I don’t know watch my dogs and she was fantastic!”


About: I’ve been lucky to care for dogs, cats, and bunnies through every stage of life, from playful puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve also pet sat for others for extended periods of time, including 4 to 6 weeks at a time, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home in someone else’s hands. I care for each pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and comfort level so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, all dog sizes, and pets who need medication or a little extra attention. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, cuddly, independent, or in their senior years, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and never alone. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting based on your pet’s needs. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and companionship. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and connected while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I know it can feel stressful to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I do everything I can to make the experience as smooth and reassuring as possible for both you and your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. Whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, litter box care, cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure their needs are met with patience and attention. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, and keeping their routine familiar helps them feel secure while you’re away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. Some pets love lots of interaction and play, while others prefer a calmer approach and need time to build trust. I’m happy to adapt my care to what makes your pet feel most comfortable and relaxed. Safety is extremely important to me. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, and home access, and I always double-check that pets are secure before entering or leaving the home. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or anything else that may be important, and I’ll communicate with you promptly if I notice any concerns. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, comfortable pet and have complete peace of mind knowing they were cared for with kindness, responsibility, and genuine affection.
“Sahil was an amazing dog sitter! He was very responsive and communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave us great peace of mind. He took wonderful care of our dog for a few days, and it’s clear that he genuinely loves and understands pets. The best part was seeing how happy and relaxed our dog was when we returned, which really showed how well he was treated. We would absolutely trust Sahil again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

“Rose did an excellent job watching our two doodles. Both of them are a bit of a handful as one is a senior with incontinence issues (he needs regular outsides and diaper changes) while the other is younger and requests regular attention. Rose arrived on time, she made sure both dogs had regular breaks and she shared lots of pictures. We will definitely work with her again.”

“Katelyn was a wonderful sitter for our w golden retrievers. We have an older golden and a large 1 year old golden puppy who is a handful- and she managed them both beautifully. She sent regular updates and photos, and also left our house better than she found it.”

28 Palms pet parents share their Rover experiences
We loved the way Vanessa took care of our two dogs and also our house for the 10 days we were away. She kept us updated daily via text and sent us pictures of our happy dogs. She even alerted us that we were getting ants in the kitchen and did a great job getting rid of them. Thank you Vanessa, we appreciate you!
I was very happy with Amy as Bella's dog sitter. Bella hides in her crate with strangers, but she was able to coax her out a little bit while she was here for the weekend. She was with Bella almost the entire time, which I think will be a help for Bella to get more at ease with her. I’ve already booked Amy for two more upcoming dog sitting events. She kept the house spotless and picked up my newspapers and took out my trash for trash day. All in all, I couldn’t have asked for more. She also sent me videos of Bella. It was helpful to me to see her doing fine. Thank you, Amy!

Jennifer is incredibly kind and genuinely cares about animals. She is also very responsible and communicative. She sends regular updates with photos and videos throughout the day, so we feel connected even when we’re away. The house is always spotless when we return — she keeps everything very clean and tidy, way beyond what we expect. She’s reliable, professional, and truly a joy to work with. If you’re looking for a trustworthy pet sitter who treats your home and pets like her own, look no further. Jennifer is the best! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Justin took amazing care of Rio and was incredibly attentive to all of his needs. He was very patient, followed every instruction perfectly, and made sure Rio was comfortable and happy throughout. On top of that, Justin was great with other pets as well, which gave me even more peace of mind. He treated my home with care and respect, just like his own. I’m truly happy with the experience and would absolutely love to have Justin back again for future sittings!

Diana was absolutely amazing with our little cat. We were abroad for 3 weeks and she was booked in for a home stay to live in with our cat. She treated our cat as her own and looked after her so well, and gave us lots of updates on her, which gave us so much peace of mind. Diana also treated our home so respectfully and it was so clean and well kept to return to. Our cat definitely loved her company too and got comfortable with her really quickly. I believe we have found our forever pet sitter for any future trips away too. Thank you so much for the perfect 3 weeks for our cat.

Shivani was a great caregiver for Oz. He had the "Ferris Bueller" week with Shivani. We can tell she really likes animals, and our dog adored her. She sent regular updates and photos, and Shivani made sure Oz had his regular routine. She was very communicative and thoughtful in her questions. We would highly recommend her!
Sahil was an amazing dog sitter! He was very responsive and communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave us great peace of mind. He took wonderful care of our dog for a few days, and it’s clear that he genuinely loves and understands pets. The best part was seeing how happy and relaxed our dog was when we returned, which really showed how well he was treated. We would absolutely trust Sahil again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

Robert took wonderful care of our two pups and home. He sent lots of cute pics and the pups clearly warmed up to him. We also appreciated that Robert stopped by the day before the sit started (on his birthday!) to meet us ahead of our trip. This helped to ease the process and put our minds at ease before we left.

Read my other review! I will Only use Aurora to watch my babies. This time one of mine even threw up and she was SO kind about, cleaned it up, informed me, and even saved what he threw up (a foreign object) so I could Look at it. If that’s not a real dog mom idk what is!

Tatyanan was incredible kind and supportive throughout the whole process. I had never used Rover, let alone a pet sitter. Before even booking with her she came to meet my cats and I and walk me through the process. While I was out of state for my fiance's surgery, she went above and beyond to make sure that my cats were taken care of, regularly sending pictures, and that the place stayed clean from pet messes. I greatly appreciate Tatyana and would absolutely book her again! Thank you Tatyana!!

Rose did an excellent job watching our two doodles. Both of them are a bit of a handful as one is a senior with incontinence issues (he needs regular outsides and diaper changes) while the other is younger and requests regular attention. Rose arrived on time, she made sure both dogs had regular breaks and she shared lots of pictures. We will definitely work with her again.

This was the first time Melissa watched our two large dogs. It was a week long booking and it could not have gone better. Care was great. Communication was great. Reliability was great. Dogs were happy. Caring for our dogs is complicated enough but there were several occasions during our trip that Melissa went above and beyond to keep us informed. I really appreciated that. I would highly recommend Melissa.
