“Jeremy is truly the best, he has watched our boys multiple times now and they can be a handful! Our pups are always in good spirits after hanging with him for a few days and our home is always very clean when we get back! He’s the best sitter we’ve had in the LA area 😊”

“Reya is amazing! She always does a fantastic job watching my cats while im away. Ive had her watch my cats twice and both times my two cats where well cared for and received lots of love and attention.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for about 15 years through my own pets and helping family and friends with theirs. I have experience training dogs in basic skills such as sit, down, stay, touch, recall, heel, leave it, and go to place. I also have a good understanding of dog behavior and body language, including how to redirect unwanted behaviors using reward-based training. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, from small dogs to large and giant breeds, as well as cats and puppies. I have hands-on experience with walking, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and basic obedience training. I especially enjoy working with puppies and practicing skills such as sit, down, stay, recall, leash manners, and impulse control using reward-based training. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and focus on keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and engaged while they’re in my care. I balance pet care with my school and work schedule, which gives me availability at different times throughout the week. I’m generally available mornings, with additional afternoon and evening availability on certain days. My schedule varies by day, so please include your preferred visit or walk time when sending a request. I’ll confirm that I can accommodate your pet’s schedule before booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, potty routines, walking preferences, and household rules. I always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure and will communicate with you during each visit. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, puppies, and cats.
“Yana was an amazing dog sitter. She was extremely loving and kind to our two dogs. 💕 She followed our instructions and kept our house clean. Her communication was great; she sent a couple updates each day with photos and videos. We could tell our dogs were having a great time with her because they were extra playful. We highly recommend booking Yana.”

“I can't recommend Jeff enough! We have used him for several walks and used him for our first overnight. My 3 dogs absolutely adore him!! He is very pleasant to be around, clean, trustworthy, and very knowledgeable. We will definitely be using his services as long as we can. We truly can't thank you enough Jeff!!!”

“Jacqui took extremely good care of our pups tending to all their needs . She was very transparent and communicative about everything happening and she is a very reliable sitter . We left our dogs at our home under her care for almost 6 days while we were traveling and we had a stress free vacation knowing that our dogs were getting the right care and attention .”


About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, but my biggest experience comes from raising my two Blue Heelers from puppies. My oldest is 15 years old and my other is 7, so I’ve had years of experience learning how different dogs can be at every stage of life. Blue Heelers are smart, energetic, and definitely have their own personalities, so raising them has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, exercise, and understanding a dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with high energy pups that want to play and stay active, but I also know how important it is to slow things down and give older dogs the extra attention and patience they need. What I think sets me apart is that I don’t see dog sitting as just feeding a dog and taking them outside. I actually enjoy getting to know each dog their personality, their routine, what makes them comfortable, and what makes them happy. I’ll give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pup is being treated like family while you’re away. I work a part-time job, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to give dogs the attention and exercise they need. I’m available any time on weekdays and weekends, which gives me plenty of time to play, walk, feed, and spend quality time with them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I really enjoy being around dogs. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I treat their home and their pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep their pets on their normal routine, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, food, and fresh water. I also keep the space clean and secure and provide updates so the owner knows their pets are doing well.
About: With lifelong experience caring for dogs, horses, and cats, I'm an animal lover and horse whisperer. I train my pets, provide energy healing, and enjoy daily walks. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, as I work from home and have the flexibility to design my own schedule. As an energy healing practitioner, I prioritize mindfulness and balance, which extends to my pets. I incorporate playtime, walks, and training when needed into my day, ensuring they receive ample exercise and mental stimulation. During breaks from my meditation and yoga sessions, I find joy in spending quality time with my pets, fostering a nurturing environment. Their companionship enhances my work-life balance, and I often use sound healing techniques to create a calming atmosphere for both myself and my furry friends. Caring for pets in my home is a thoughtful process. I have a fenced yard where your dog can play safely alongside my sweet 15 year old boxer, who loves companionship. I welcome only dogs that are friendly with cats, as my 4 year old indoor cat enjoys their company. I feed all dogs outside, right in front of my kitchen, ensuring a clean and pleasant environment. Cats are fed separately in the kitchen, with their food placed on furniture to keep is safe from curious dogs. For hydration, I have a water fountain for the cats and a water dispenser for the dogs, both inside and outside for the dogs. When needed, I can easily crate your dog at night; my boxer is crate trained but prefers to sleep freely now. I require that you bring your dog and cat with their own bed, food, and treats, ensuring they feel comfortable. Additionally, It's essential that all pets have a collar with a tag and a leash for safety. This structured approach helps create a harmonious atmosphere for all furry friends in my care.
“Madelyn is now our 4-mo-old puppy's favorite person! She gave up her Thanksgiving to stay with Ziggy at our house, but it wasn't just a "stay." Madelyn played with her and give her so much love and attention. It was just what Ziggy needed and we were so happy to trust her with our puppy! We're also very happy that Madelyn will be coming back to stay with Ziggy again in a couple of weeks. Thank you, Madelyn!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Animal lover will care for your pet with love, cuddles, and attention. Hello I’m currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays and Holidays. Hello I have a fenced yard with grass and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed...

“Lexy took care of my doggo, Midnight, so amazingly! I chose house sitting because Midnight isn’t good at staying in other people’s homes and gets anxious alone. This was the first time we use rover to get someone to take care of Midnight, let alone stay at our house, we decided to try Rover! I read through Lexy’s reviews and she seemed like she would take care of Midnight well! We met up a bit before the booking to talk about Midnight and also the stay! Lexy was so sweet and automatically I knew I felt comfortable with her staying in my home. We were very nervous about leaving him with someone new but Lexy put us at ease. She sent pictures and updates of Midnight everyday which made me so much calmer during my trip! Also Lexy should take a side hustle as a doggy photographer because the pictures she took were SO cute! I’ve saved them all! Overall Lexy is amazing and Midnight had a great time with her! We definitely will have her take care of him again in the future!”

“Danielle was the best. She made us feel at ease and provided daily updates on the dogs. She kept the house clean and even cleaned the sheets. I will definitely use Danielle again if we need a dog sitter.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs. I had a Samoyed and a multipoo myself for many years. I love how affectionate dogs are. I am great at sticking to feeding schedules. I enjoy petting and playing with a dog kindly and gently. I have a big backyard that is fenced where a dog can run and play safely. I work part time, not everyday, and just a few hours a day, so I am a great companion to your sweet lovable pet. I am gentle, caring, loving, warm hearted. I am very empathetic to pets because they are loving beings. I will often take them for bathroom breaks, pet, and feed on schedule. I want the pet to feel safe and happy and the owner to relax and enjoy their time away. I have a fenced backyard. I accept cats or small dogs only. The pet will have space to run and play. I am gentle with my voice and my affection to the pet. I have a big heart and am also good at keeping a feeding schedule. I am warm hearted and responsible.
About: I have had around thirteen years of cat care experience, having owned four cats, a tarantula, and a snake throughout my entire life, and currently volunteer at an animal shelter. I have had a lot of opportunities to learn how to take care of cats and their body languages, so I am very experienced with knowing when to back off or if a cat wants love or pets; I also know what to look out for to prevent cat fights from happening or how to break one up. Although most of my experience is in cats, I am always open to learning new things or how to take care of dogs, and I am always willing to walk your dog or house sit for them because I am someone who loves animals and will never shy away from a chance to meet them! I am still a student right now, so I am only free in the afternoons and evenings during the weekdays, but I am totally free on weekends (minus 2-5 PM on Saturdays where I volunteer). I am also looking to get a part time job so my schedule might shift around. I will happily send you pictures or video updates of your puppies or kittens, and I am also extremely willing to play with them using their favorite toys, and I don’t mind spending extra time for snuggling sessions while I’m there! ❤️ My house is usually very quiet save for the occasional cara passing by, and the cats are allowed to wander about and do whatever they want. I will also never try to force an interaction with a cat if the cat does not want it. I brush and groom my cats if the opportunity comes up, and is open to snuggling with a cat anytime 🥰
“Taylor took great care of my two chihuahuas and home while my husband and me were gone for the holidays. We so appreciated her availability on Christmas! The dogs seemed happy when we returned and the house was in good order.”

About: With three years of experience in the veterinary field and starting at the age of 18 , I have successfully advanced from kennel assistant to receptionist and now to veterinary assistant. Having grown up caring for a wide variety of animals, dogs, cats, fishes, hamsters I have developed a lifelong passion for animal care. I am dedicated to making every animal feel safe in my care and building strong, trusting relationships with owners. I am available Sunday through Tuesday. I can also accommodate requests outside of these days after my shift ends, depending on my availability. Please keep in mind that I work 10-hour shifts on my working days, so I am unable to drop in for midday lunch or bathroom breaks. However, I am available for breakfast and dinner visits. To ensure I provide the best care for your pet while you are away, I ask for pet parents to write down or print out an instruction sheet for me including details like: - Pet Care & Activities: Any specific routines or activities you would like me to do with their pet. - Medication (if applicable): The exact name, dosage, and schedule. - House Duties: Tasks like taking out the trash if needed or picking up after your pet in the yard .
“Lily was great! She was punctual and very responsive to all communication. She connected with my dog right away and it was obvious that she really loves dogs. She administered my dog’s medication correctly and when we got home it was apparent that our dog had been very well cared for. I strongly recommend her.”

About: Watching dogs for a living?! Who wouldn’t want that! I loved watching dogs for my family and friends for as long as I can remember, was and am happy to hear about Rover. Walk, wash, play, anything you need. I’m your pal! I’m currently working freelance so hours are all over, which allows me a heck of free time! I am able to work with your schedules and availability. I live in a gated complex, no running into the streets. The area is pretty spacious so walks may be down within the gated complex.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brandeis
Emily is truly an amazing dog sitter. She cared for our senior (12 year old) blind lab over a three day weekend while we tended to wedding activities. While our dog may not have been as interested in walking much Emily sat with him, fed him and kept him great company. She also sent me photos of Reagan while he was in her care, this provided me much comfort as this was my first time using a dog sitting service. The photos were also accompanied by detailed information on his activities. Thank you so much Emily for taking such great care of our fur baby.

This was our first time using Daniella and we couldn’t be more happy. She checked in with us on a daily basis with photos and text messages which made us feel good about the care Charlie was getting. We will differently be using Daniella again. Highly recommend.

Kelsey was absolutely amazing house sitting our dog Bleu over the Holidays! We were so happy with the care he received. She is so kind, reliable, and treated him just like family! We were provided with updates and photos multiple times a day. We will 100% be booking her again when traveling in the future. She made us feel extremely comfortable in leaving our boy for a week and provided amazing care. Bleu absolutely adores her and so do we!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Brandeis walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Brandeis maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Brandeis choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
