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.

Stephanie was great! She took the time to do a pre-meet up with me several days beforehand so she could meet Simon and learn about his schedule and needs. The day of she was prompt and sent me updates during Simon's time with her, including a cute photo. I felt very confident that Stephanie gave Simon great care and I plan to work with her again in the future.

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.

Vicky was absolutely amazing with our furbabies! From the start, she was kind, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. She kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pets were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—Vicky truly went above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets!

It was such a relief to have Chelsea stopping in on our cat Murphy! Chelsea was able to administer a pill orally and gave us such peace of mind. Murphy was calm and happy with her check ins. She’s on top of details- gave us a heads up when Murphy came down with a little sneezing our last day away. Very very happy to have met Chelsea and looking forward to Murphy being well looked after for future stays!

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.

About: Hi! I’m Cynthia 😊 I’m a full-time teacher and I live in Pasadena, offering calm, reliable pet care for busy pet parents 🐾 I like to keep things as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and take my time building trust so they feel safe and comfortable. I offer drop-ins, walks, and overnight house sitting, and I’m happy to help with little things around your home like bringing in mail or watering plants 🌿 I’ll always send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away 📸 I work full-time as a teacher, so I bring a calm, patient, and reliable approach to every pet I care for. I’m available evenings and weekends and genuinely enjoy spending that time making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or keeping your pet company, I’ll follow their routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel at ease while you’re away. When I care for pets in your home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I stick closely to their routine, give them plenty of attention, and create a calm, relaxed environment. I’m respectful of your space, keep things clean, and carefully follow all instructions. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands.

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

About: 🐾 About Me Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all personalities and needs. I started working with dogs back in high school while volunteering at my local humane society, and I’ve spent over a decade caring for my own three small-breed fur babies. 💛 My Care Style I treat every dog like family—because that’s exactly how I’d want my own pups treated. I’m very responsive, attentive, and on the cautious side when it comes to safety. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, I’m patient, gentle, and excited to get to know them. 🐶 Why Book With Me Years of hands-on dog care experience Comfortable with small breeds and sensitive pups Safety-focused and highly communicative Genuinely love meeting new furry friends I’d be thrilled to care for your pup and give them all the love, attention, and fun they deserve. I’m a fully remote employee with a consistent work schedule that can support flexibility. I take care of my own 3 pups with many walks throughout the day and can add to the pack or walk your pup separately! My own pets are always indoors, able to free roam and be in the furniture, etc. While I am not offering in home boarding, my space does also have a fully gated grass courtyard I could walk your pup to as well!

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!

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.

Charmaine took great care of our cat while we were on vacation! It was our first time leaving since we’d adopted her, so I was a little nervous, but Charmaine made sure our cat was well taken care of and took a ton of pictures during each visit! She even brought some new toys for our cat, and was content to simple snuggle with our cat on the couch if she wasn’t in the mood to play. Thank you, Charmaine!

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.
