“Pat went above and beyond during the week she cat sat for us, from figuring out a problem with our locked door while we were not accessible during our flight out of town, to watering our outdoor plants, to bringing in packages we received while we were gone. I can tell the cats were happy when we got home and I hope that she will watch them again. Absolutely recommend Pat!”

About: I have taken care of both puppies and adult dogs. I have a flexible schedule and can drop by more than once daily if needed! I’m retired and have an open schedule. I can do multiple visits daily if needed. I also have the flexibility to do longer visits if needed to provide socialization and comfort for your pet! I don’t have the ability to care for pets in my home, but I’m available to go to my clients’ homes as frequently as needed. My policy is to be very respectful of my client’s space while spending quality time with their pets! I can accomodate any special needs and I follow instructions well!
“Allyson is lovely, my grandfathers dog Pegsley who had to stay with me for a month before being rehomed needed walks 3 days a week while I was at work. She adored Allyson”
“Ashlee always goes above and beyond. She will be my go-to choice for any of my pet-sitting needs and I will always pray she is available. She is someone my animals immediately felt comfortable with and extra helpful!”
About: I spent a year working in a nature center with all kinds of animals, including a bird rehab with eagles and owls! I have taken care of several foster cats, including a very special rescue who needed a lot of medical attention. I am often trusted to cat and dog sit for my friends and family. I move around a lot so it's been hard to have my own permanent animal, so I just spend as much time as I can with the animals around me! My work schedule is part time and flexible so I have plenty of time and energy to take care of your pets and do house sitting. I have a good sized two bedroom house so there is plenty of space for a pet to explore. There are no other pets in the house, so there is no concern about if unknown animals will get along with each other or not. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood so long walks are very doable. I have my own car in good condition and a great driving record if pets need to be taken anywhere (scheduled or emergency). I also have extensive babysitting experience so I'm used to being in other people's homes and respecting their space.
“Emily did a great job looking after Phoebe! Timely updates and I came home to a happy cat. I would absolutely recommend Emily and ask her to look after Phoebe in the future.”
“Fantastic dog sitter! Jewel takes great care of the dogs and the house, she communicates clearly and is really easy to work with. We are lucky to have her!”
About: I’ve been house/dog sitting for family and friends for over 8 years. I love animals and appreciate the time I get to spend with each one. I take the opportunity seriously and treat all animals as if my own. I work remotely all day, so I can provide support and care all day. I don’t mind scheduling around the pet’s normal schedule. I like to keep the animals as close to their routine as possible. I work remotely all day, so I can provide support and care all day. I don’t mind scheduling around the pet’s normal schedule.

Laurie F.
“I would absolutely trust Laurie with my animals. She has worked with animals in the past, and her love for animals is obvious. She has taken care of the stray cats in her neighborhood for years now, always making sure they have a safe place to eat and rest. One of the stray cats felt so safe with her that the cat gave birth in Laurie’s home. Laurie took care of those kittens and the mama cat, then found all the kittens wonderful homes (one kitten came home with me). Laurie’s own cat is well loved and spoiled. Laurie is responsible, sensible and compassionate. She would be a great caretaker of anyone’s pets!”

She has such a sweet and gentle demeanor and ALL of the animals love her! My anxiety ridden pup absolutely LOVES Amanda and quite literally cries with excitement any time she comes over. We are moving to Oklahoma soon and I am sad to think about not having Amanda care for our sweet girl any longer! I could not recommend a better, more qualified sitter than Amanda!”

Balboa Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cara provided excellent service! She was flexible and took great care of our pets. I would recommend her very highly.
Sarah is awesome. She's patient with our cats who are scared of strangers. They constantly hide. But Sarah manages to catch a glimpse of them and makes sure they are eating well. I appreciate the photo updates too. Thanks!
Chloe was a wonderful pet sitter for my cat! Her communication was great, she gave me nice updates and photos, and she left my apartment very clean and tidy. My cat had a bit of an upset stomach during her visits, and Chloe went above and beyond to clean up the messes. I would definitely recommend her!
Laura is awesome! always takes great care of my cat and is super respectful of my home. I would highly recommend her!
Sheila is reliable, friendly, and absolutely wonderful with the cats. As a "stranger" in the house for her third sitting session, she was presented with 'visibility' by our feral youngling long enough to get a full-body shot, rather than just the wee white face peeking out of the shadows. So it looks like the cats agree with our assessment.
Ashlee always goes above and beyond. She will be my go-to choice for any of my pet-sitting needs and I will always pray she is available. She is someone my animals immediately felt comfortable with and extra helpful!
Presley came by on time every day and tried her best to get quality time with our cat (the cat didn’t always cooperate). She went the extra mile to come by beforehand for a meet and greet too. Thanks Presley!
Fantastic dog sitter! Jewel takes great care of the dogs and the house, she communicates clearly and is really easy to work with. We are lucky to have her!
Alex was very thorough and easily handled our rather complex cat instructions and made sure to give the cats lots of play time and attention. They take excellent photos. We have no hesitation to enthusiastically hire them again.
Over and beyond our expectations. We had drip system issues and she stepped up to make sure our plants were watered. Such a relief!
My pups had an amazing time with Calyx's drop ins. Her rates are more than reasonable, she's absolutely reliable, communicates perfectly, arrives on time, and definitely takes care of their business both inside and outside. Her patience and knowledge caring for my shy pup was stellar. Her profile and reviews are spot on, I'd rebook her anytime for my fur babies in my absence. We thank you again for an awesome job done!
Alison always does a great job looking after my cat. She was able to come in on really short notice and sent detailed updates with lots of pictures. She's a really good pet sitter
Debbie helped me out with a last minute request to check in on Addie and was very communicative and friendly.
Allison was amazing with Coco and Charli! She kept me updated with photos and made sure they were happy, safe, and well cared for the entire time. I could tell they felt comfortable and loved. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!
Larissa did a great job caring for my two senior cats while I was gone for 11 days! I loved her daily reports and photos. She was very professional and kind.
Hillary and Edgar bonded immediately! She is absolutely fabulous, warm, kind and professional. Thank you so much, Hillary - I will definitely reach out - I’m sure Edgar misses you already 💕
Teresa is kind and sweet and was very patient with my shy Sunny girl. Will be booking with her again!
Olivia is the best! She is always flexible, communicative, and reliable. Olivia stayed longer than planned on a drop-in since my pup hadn’t seen her in a while and needed more time to warm up. I always know she’ll take the best care of her and is attentive to her needs!
