“Christina was a great cat sitter for Slim Charles, sending detailed updates on her visits with him, spending time to keep him company while I was away, and also sending great pictures. I definitely intend to book Christina again the next time I’m in need of a pet sitter!”


“Jordan is excellent! Great communication and always lets my sometimes nervous/timid pup lead the way! Will definitely keep using Jordan for walks and pet care!”


“Thomas was AMAZING! We needed someone on short notice after our primary cat sitter had a conflict with a few dates during our vacation. Thomas was responsive, prompt at showing up for a meet and greet, and immediately connected with our kitty, Sherman, taking detailed notes. During the stay, Thomas gave our kitty the attention he deserved. Not only that, he sent us lots of pictures and gave us detailed updates. It was awesome not having to worry about our kitty while thousands of miles away. We look forward to booking Thomas in the future!”


“Communicative, punctual, and reliable. Sent an informative rovercard and photos.”


“David was an awesome cat sitter! He took our booking last minute and even came by beforehand to meet us and our cat. He kept us updated with cute pics while we were away, and our cat—who’s usually picky about people—actually sat on his lap (a rare treat!). When we got back, our cat was super chill, so we know he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”


About: My 15+ years as a pet owner, sitter and foster parent has helped me gain a diversity of experiences that help me care for your pet in just the way they need! From rambunctious puppies the slower seniors, and everything in between - I’m excited to show your pet the love and care they’re missing when you’re away! I also have special experience with reactive dogs and happy to discuss how to make them most comfortable in my care when you’re gone! I spend most weekends and holidays having slow weekends at home and around the city, and am happy to bring your pet into that routine! Outside of my typical 9-5, my schedule is flexible to meet the needs of your pet! I’m happy to ensure your pet is safe and well cared for in your home when you’re away - whether that involves crating your pet or looking for them in their favorite nook-and-cranny. Let me know what you need from me, and I’m here to help!

“It was my first time using the Rover app and I was nervous choosing a new cat sitter for my babies while I was away on vacation. Kayla was very kind and did a meet & greet with the kitties before accepting the job. I felt very comfortable and at ease with her attention to detail when giving instructions on their food and daily routine. She went above and beyond to make sure the cats felt comfortable and gave them some love while I was away. They both loved her and she sent me photos of each day to make sure they were okay. She takes care of your pets as if they are her own. Thanks Kayla for everything you did for Cheshire & Panther! I’m so happy I met Kayla through Rover and plan to book with her in the future.”


About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s an energetic pup that loves long walks, a senior dog who needs a slower pace and medication—I adapt my care to each pet’s unique needs. I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and in high school I would watch my neighbors dogs while they were away on vacation. You can count on me to be communicative, respectful, and caring every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I'm a dedicated pet lover who works from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable drop-in visits and walks throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a midday potty break, playtime, or just some company while you're out, I’m here to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. Because I work remotely, my schedule is very adaptable—I can easily fit in morning, afternoon, or evening visits, and I’m always just a short drive away in case of any last-minute needs. I understand that each pet has their own routine and comfort level, and I’m great at adjusting to match their energy and personality. During drop-ins, I can feed, refresh water bowls, clean up messes, administer meds (if needed), and spend quality time with your pet. If your dog loves to stretch their legs, I’m happy to include a walk during my visit to keep them active and mentally stimulated. My goal is to be someone you can rely on, knowing your pet is getting care, love, and attention while you're away. I treat every pet like they’re my own—and I’d love to meet yours! Your pet’s safety is my top priority! With gentle care, close attention, and a calm presence, they’ll feel secure, loved, and totally at ease. My aim is to make every pet feel comfortable and safe.

“A saving grace! I needed last minute (literally a few hours before) help to exercise Goose. Andrea was reliable, prompt, and gave ample updates. Thank you for making my day a little less crazy.”


“Brock was very attentive and comforting during his time with cash. He was patient and provided good updates. I am glad I was able to find Brock and he was able to comfort Cash during a stressful time.”


About: I started walking my neighbor’s dogs when I was 12. I enjoy spending time with dogs, but have never had the time to adopt one myself. Thank you! I work full time job so I would prefer weekdays after 4:30 or weekend mornings. Thank you for understanding. Some Wednesdays I’m unavailable because I partake in recreational sports. I heavily take into consideration the information I receive from every client on their pets behavior outside of home. This ensures that I’m making safe decisions for every pet once they leave the comfort of their home.

“We had a great feeling about Eric upon reading his profile, which highlighted his affinity and experience with cats, and he did not disappoint. Eric was communicative, professional, and trustworthy throughout the process, guiding us through our first Rover experience. We couldn't be happier! Admittedly, our cat isn't the easiest with strangers, but Eric truly is a cat whisperer. His organization and cleaning system for pet sitting was wonderful, leaving the house in even better condition than when we left it. We 100% recommend Eric’s services and would love to work with him again.”


“Alejandra was prompt, friendly and great about communicating. She was great with Luke and even took him to the beach because she knew he’d like it. Also made sure to check him for ticks and sand. He came back happy, tired and clean. Thank you Alejandra!”


“Chris took great care of my pup, was totally reliable, and was really communicative. I’ll definitely have him come back next time we need the help. Thanks, Chris!”


“Kevin was great. Our shy cat liked him right away. He didn’t have any trouble with our cat’s pills or injections and he gave great updates that helped us to relax and enjoy our time away without worrying. Will definitely book Kevin again.”


“River was courteous, flexible & did a good job taking care of our cat. He communicated well & appreciate how clean the house was when we came back!”


“John came over recently to meet my new puppy and I with the idea that he’ll be helping me out in the future. He was very sweet with my high energy puppy. Looking forward to having John help me out in the future.”


“Magdalena is great. She is our go-to sitter for our doodle Teddy! He requires very precise administration of medicines, feeding in a Bailey chair for megaesophagus, and needs constant supervision. She was excellent at providing constant photo updates, following instructions, and engaging with him. He hasn't been feeling well lately, so we have been requiring more recent drop-in checks and Magdalena has been very accommodating with scheduling.”


About: super flexible! in school full time and work part time but i have 3 day weekends and a chill schedule! have been an animal lover all my life but can’t adopt yet so love to rover to still get to be around doggos and cats !! im pretty active but also a homebody at the same time so its easy for me to get pets out for a walk or run or to stay home and cuddle! i don’t take it lightly letting a stranger in your home and around your fur babies so always keeping that in mind and being mindful and aware

About: I love all pets. I had a dog for over 8 years. I have a very nurturing personality, so it comes easy to care for an animal and put their needs above mine. I'm currently in-between jobs so my schedule is incredibly flexible. Can care for your pet at a moment's notice. I also have a car so commuting is very easy. When I lived in LA I was always the go to for watching friend's dogs. My current apartment is very spacious and has a nice fenced in backyard for a dog to run around freely.
