“As a first-timer, I'm grateful to have found Corinna. She's trustworthy, prompt and very kind. She gave Jobie genuine care and attention and I would 100% trust her again. I highly recommend her to any pet parent — especially if you're a little nervous about leaving your fur baby for the first time.”
“Elissa was awesome coming with relatively short notice. Updates were great, lots of photos and info, everything was brilliant and we felt our cat was super well cared for. Awesome!”
“Day was fantastic!! Really wonderful, empathetic care & attention to detail for our kitties. We were traveling for 10 days and felt at ease knowing we were in good hands. Great communication and appreciated pictures from each visit. We will definitely be booking again for all future travel!”
“Jessica did a fantastic job sitting our playful cat Maverick--we will definitely ask her again the next time we go out of town! She arrived every day at the right time, and was great at communicating and sending us photos and updates. It was clear from the photos that our kitty befriended her--it made us have a better vacation knowing that Maverick was being so well taken care of.”
“That’s a lovely sentiment! Here’s a polished version if you’d like to share it as a review or thank-you note: Vicky took such wonderful care of our pets—you can truly tell she loves animals. Her kindness and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind.”
“Mari is such a pleasant person to be around. She understood exactly what it takes to care for an older cat with health conditions like our Ziggy. I really appreciated the level of enthusiasm, attentiveness, and experience she brought, even with a long list of medications and feeding instructions. It’s clear that she genuinely cares deeply about both the animals and the people who love them.”
“My pup hasn’t really had an appetite but Sophia was able to get him to eat based all my detailed instructions. I really appreciate her help, she’s always ready and reliable.”
About: I’ve cared for cats through drop-in visits and overnight stays, making sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved while their owners are away. I’m a therapist full-time, which means I’m calm, attentive, and very tuned in to behavior and routines. I’ve also fostered kittens and have a cat of my own, so I’m experienced with everything from playful young cats to shy or sensitive ones. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, medications, litter care, enrichment play, and giving plenty of affection. I work from home much of the week, which allows me flexibility and natural breaks throughout my day for drop-in visits or extended care. My schedule includes built-in gaps between sessions, so I’m able to provide attentive, unhurried visits and stick closely to your cat’s routine. Because I’m already accustomed to managing a structured schedule, I’m reliable, punctual, and communicative. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, and I’m intentional about only booking what I can thoughtfully and consistently handle. I prioritize a safe and calm environment for every pet I care for. In your home I follow your routines exactly, including feeding, playtime, litter cleaning, and any medication instructions, so your cat feels comfortable and secure. I always supervise interactions and make sure doors, windows, and other hazards are managed for safety. In my home I maintain a clean, quiet space where cats can relax, explore, or retreat as they wish. Having fostered kittens and being a cat owner myself, I understand how to read behavior, provide comfort, and create a stress-free environment that keeps pets happy and safe.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, and lizards, of various breeds, sizes and temperaments since I was a teenager. I’m an animal lover, and am very experienced with our more unruly furry friends. As the owner of a reactive dog, I’m well versed in the special care they need in the home, and out on walks. I am not a licensed trainer but have taken many training courses for my own pets over the years. I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends. My fiancee and I share our home with a very high energy bull terrier named Billy, and a very lazy cat named Nate. For in client home pet care, I am very respectful of all directions given. As someone who has used both in client home, and drop off services for my own pets, I understand firsthand how important it is to know that your pets are being cared for with all the safety and reliability that they deserve.
About: Although I’ve never owned a dog, I grew up with them nonetheless. I have a soft spot for dogs, no matter the breed or size. I’ve been trained in animal behavior and I understand canine body language. I cared for my grandmother’s elderly dog for about two months and I was her primary caregiver. I am currently a high school student so I am booked on weekdays until 2:00pm, weekends I’m completely free! I would love to walk your dogs and care for your sweet kitties in my off time. I have only ever cared for hamsters full time, but even then I made extensive research on how to properly care for hamsters. I know a lot about animal behavior and animal care in general as I am aspiring to become an animal conservationist. I always keep a close eye on pets and I am very attentive. I make sure all their needs are met and that they are happy and healthy. An animals comfort is my greatest goal <3
“Neysa was spectacular— it was my first time leaving my three little dogs home alone while my partner and I visited family. Neysa was timely, communicative, and great at sending pictures during their drop-in visits; Neysa afforded me peace of mind, and I will definitely rebook when we travel next. I am extremely grateful!”
“Priscilla did a wonderful job taking care of our cat when our original Rover sitter had to cancel at the last minute due to an emergency. She made sure our cat had all the essentials and gave her some play time and cuddle time. Priscilla is very communicative and responds quickly to texts and messages. She sent great updates and photos daily. I highly recommend Priscilla for your pet sitting needs and would hire her again!”
“She was so good with Jessica. Usually she's super shy with new people and she immediately im ate treats from Anne. Her energy was great. Clearly she has a connection with the animals. It was less hard going on a trip knowing my cat was in good hands. She also sent the cutest photos.”
About: I have grown up with a beautiful goldendoodle who lives with my parents. I also have professional experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I love animals so much and they give me so much joy and peace. I am a gentle and caring person who you can trust with your babies. When my old roommate in Boston left for business school, she left her cat with me for a year because she knew how much we were bonded and she trusted me to take care of her baby boy. So I also have experience with cats! I would professionally pet sit for my neighbors when they were out of town and would gladly provide a reference. I have been a sitter on rover for 6 years now and love it. I now have a 2 year old mini goldendoodle who lives with me and she is my princess! She loves playing with other pups! Will take your pups on hikes at Griffith Park I am currently working from home so am available all days of the week for boarding and daycare! Pets will have attention my full attention and get lots of snuggles! I live in a beautiful home in Pasadena with a fenced in yard and plenty of space! Beautiful garden and plenty of room to run around.
“Lanice was super helpful and was able to play with my puppy while I worked. She was very professional and was able to complete all tasks with my pup. I definitely recommend her. Thank you Lanice!”
About: What Sets Me Apart Caring for animals has truly been a lifelong part of who I am. I’ve been caring for cats since I was 4 years old and dogs since my early teens. My parents have fostered and sheltered animals for over 25 years, and when I visit home, I help care for what we lovingly call our little “pet haven.” Through that experience, I’ve cared for kittens and puppies all the way through their senior years. Being around foster and rescue animals has taught me patience, gentleness, and how to read different personalities — from energetic and playful to calm, sensitive, or even a little sassy 😊. I’m comfortable with both high-energy pets and senior pets who need a slower, softer approach. I also have a deep respect for animal safety and well-being — even rescuing baby birds and bringing them to the local humane society when needed. Animals have always been a source of comfort and joy in my life, and I treat every pet with that same level of love, attentiveness, and care. With a steady weekday schedule, pet care fits naturally into my routine with evening pet visits after 6pm and weekend availability, limiting bookings to maintain focused, reliable, quality care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions and routines to help your pet feel secure and stress-free. I maintain a clean, calm environment and am attentive to details like secured doors, safe walks, and proper feeding. I never overbook, so each pet receives dedicated attention and supervision. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Both my partner and I have a collective 25 years of experience taking care of dogs. We've worked with working dogs like anatolian shepards, rottis, and Dobermans but also cuddle dogs like Yorkie and maltipoos. My partner worked on a farm for 7 years and took care of dogs the entire time. I am a city girl and had my own dog walking business as a child. Your pet is in good hands with us! I work from home 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. As a result I have the perfect schedule to make sure your fur baby is taken care of. I work from home and ask such, I have the ability to give you dog as much attention as needed. Plenty of walks and playtime. I will ensure you pup gets at least a 5 minute walk for every hour we are indoors. They will have a dedicated 30 minute walk during my lunch and after work!

Diana has pet sit for my cat Mooney several times and she has been great! She sends pictures and is very responsible. She has also been very responsive whenever I reach out which I really appreciate. She has been able to watch my cat on short notice which is huge. Highly recommend!
Camille was an amazing cat sitter! As a cat owner herself, she truly understands how much cat parents care about their pets and the little details that matter. She was very responsive, reliable, and always on time. I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such caring and capable hands. She kept me updated, followed all instructions carefully, and treated my cats with genuine love and attention. I highly recommend Camille to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!

I made sure to Book Dean a few months before my scheduled vacation because Dean is hands-down, without a doubt the best cat sitter. I’ve had many cat sitters in the past and they were all very kind and I felt that my cats were safe with them but it’s different with Dean. When we come home after a long vacation, my cats feel different if they have been watched by Dean. We can tell that they were not only safe and well fed, but they felt loved. Dean brings over handmade cat toys and special treats and engages with them the entire time. We can tell just by the photos how much our cats love Dean. I’m generally a nervous person when it comes to my cats because they are my babies and when we get Rover cards from any other Rover, I immediately have nerves thinking “what if something went wrong”. With Dean, my husband and I have general excitement when we get the Rover card. We are always so excited to see what they have been up to. It’s such a blessing when you know your pets are safe with someone but it’s beyond wonderful when you know they feel loved.
Felice took wonderful care of my cats, Nini and Milo. She was attentive, patient, and very kind, even helping with a tricky situation that required extra care. She kept me updated and gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciate her help and highly recommend her!
Elissa was an amazing sitter for our kitties! She was incredibly communicative, prompt, and reliable. Not to mention, I could feel how much she truly cared about Coraline and Toulouse. Elissa even did a video call with us to “meet” and go over details before our trip. We will absolutely be using Elissa again for our cat sitting needs. Thank you Elissa for your genuine care and kindness!
Vega took such great care of my cat, Charlie. She was consistently on time and sent wonderful updates throughout each visit, which gave me total peace of mind. I couldn't ask for more! I highly trust Vega and would love to book her again in the future. Thank you so much!
