We’ve never been away from her for 5 days before and we could tell from the wonderful pictures Brionna sent that she was relaxed and happy, which made it a relaxing trip for us. I’m not in the habit of writing reviews, but she deserves lots of praise for what she did, looking out for our house as well as being a great dog sitter!”

About: Hi! I’m Sophia, a lifelong dog lover based in Lakewood, CA, where I live with three rescue pups. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid - from energetic puppies to senior sweethearts. Nowadays I'm the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. With a career in government and politics, I bring the same level of professionalism, dependability, and attention to detail to every walk, drop-in, or overnight stay. Whether your pup needs a leisurely stroll or a high-energy adventure, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Let’s get those tails wagging! Right now, I’m focusing solely on dog walking and pet care as I take a break from my full-time career. I’ve always loved being around animals, and this time has given me the opportunity to fully dedicate myself to caring for dogs—whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just making sure they feel safe and loved. Since my schedule is currently flexible, I’m able to prioritize each pup’s unique needs and build consistent, dependable routines with them. It’s something I genuinely enjoy and feel passionate about every day. While I don’t offer care in my own home because I have three rescue dogs, I’m more than happy to care for pets in their own familiar environment. I believe dogs feel most comfortable and secure in their own space, so I focus on keeping their routine consistent—whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or cuddle time. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and personality and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I also keep owners updated with regular check-ins, photos, and notes for peace of mind.
About: I'm an animal whisperer, of sorts. The dog that doesn't like anyone, 10 minutes in will be my bestie. I've rescued squirrels fallen from trees, I've played fetch with a dolphin, I've snuggled with a wild sea lion on a beach.. I was born into a house of cats and dogs, and took my first K9 handler training with my German Shepherd when I was 10. I have raised and trained many others since, and my first two huskies lived a healthy and unheard of 15 years! Now I live in a huge 6 bedroom house with a husky and a corgi mix, and two very sweet female humans. The house features a doggie door to the fully fenced, beautiful backyard, and was fully designed for dogs. They roam freely inside and outside as they please all day, but are generally napping on the couch, sun bathing outside our window, or playing fetch with one of the awesome pet loving people that live here! I generally work from home, and live with a couple of girls who love dogs as much as I do, so there should always be someone here to give them plenty of love! For boarding, our yard is fully fenced and the dogs have a doggie door for free roam of the air-conditioned house and large yard, where they will interact with our dogs and other pet loving people. There is always fresh water, lots of comfy beds and toys throughout!
About: Ive been a dog sitter and walker for over 9 years before joining this app. From puppies to seniors and with different health needs, I have the experience needed to take care of your pup. I live in downtown Long Beach and understand the needs of different types of dogs from the overly friendly to very reactive and can accommodate to the dog’s needs accordingly. I currently have a 9 year-old husky and 4 month-old chihuahua mix I take care of at home. I’m currently in between jobs and have a lot of time on my hands. My time is most free during business hours but I am happy to accommodate to your scheduling needs. I currently live in an apartment. While it is a bit cramped, my husky is not territorial in the least and guest pups have an easy time accommodating to the space. If I am in someone else’s home, I will make sure to adhere to the rules and guidelines they provide me to take care of their pup(s).
“Micah amd Jessica are totally pet lovers. My dog was a rescue and has major anxiety and Micah was amazing with him. The pics they sent us throughout the time we were gone made me feel relaxed and at ease because it was clear Buddy was doing well. We already booked them for another stay they are that good!”

Issis V.
“Issis is the best! She has been watching and walking my dog for over two years. And while she is new to Rover, she is not new to dog handling. Issis has a very spunky personality. She is fun to work with and overall just a great character. I would highly recommend her to anybody who is in need of some extra hands. My dog is a Doberman. He’s a big boy and while he is strong, he is not strong enough for Issis to handle. I am already looking forward to going on vacation and having her take care of him.”

Californial Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Having Samantha sit for us has been so wonderful! She takes such sweet care of our dog Gemma and the house is always in beautiful shape when we return. She is very responsive and sends the best photos of their time together. Highly recommend her and we are very grateful!
Mary Alice was very professional and respectful of our home while house sitting our dog. She kept us up to date on what was happening while we were gone, both with our pet and stuff around the house. She sent us photos along the way too. Mary Alice is very knowledgeable about taking care of pets and I will gladly have her house sit again!
Laura is an amazing sitter. She takes such good care of my pup and is very communicative. Feel grateful to be able to work together to set my dog with separation anxiety up for success while I’m away. Definitely will continue booking Laura!
Very kind and attentive, took our dogs to do many things while we were gone and reached out daily for updates. Appreciated the pics as well!
Madison was amazing! She followed all instructions perfectly and sent pictures and updates. It made my vacation more relaxing to know how happy my dog was with her. Highly recommend!
Claudia was amazing! My dog takes a little while to warm up to new people and she liked her pretty much immediately. Claudia communicated with me the entire time I was gone and I felt very comfortable leaving my anxious dog with her
Justine took great care of our pup during our week long vacation! She arrived and left exactly when we asked her to and made sure to check in with daily updates so we knew all was well. We will definitely be using her again!
Esmeralda was amazing!! Would absolutely book her again. She took care of our sweet and wild Andy (even tracking down his GPS tracker when he inexplicably lost it!) and I could tell he was super well cared for while we were away. She was also an awesome guest in our home. 15/10 stars
Lucia is a kind and responsible housesitter. My pup had a great time with her and she left my home exactly as she found it. I look forward to next time!
Nick was absolutely fantastic while house sitting for Gus and Goji this past weekend! He followed every instruction to a T, showed up right on time for each visit, and took the boys on plenty of walks. He kept me updated with pictures and made sure the pups were well cared for while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such responsible and thoughtful hands. Highly recommend!
Stephanie is amazing! She is communicative, clean, and super engaged with pet care. She sent lots of picture updates and even handled a surprise situation (building evacuation because of false fire alarm) with incredible kindness, responsibility, and communication. The house was spotless, anything that was used was washed and put back where found. The only way I know she was here was because of how free of cat odor the place was (builds up fast) and how little my cats seemed to care that we had returned (well played and entertained for almost a week). Truly amazing
Cameron is wonderful, he is kind, caring, and keeps in great communication! He followed instructions and kept my pets happy and healthy. Id recommend him to anyone.
Micah did an amazing job hanging out with our dog over the weekend, sending a lot of great photos and updates. He was extremely easy to communicate with, very tidy, and reliable. Thank you so much!
Victoria took great care of our pup! She sent me daily updates with pics so we felt very comfortable being away. She stayed in our home & left it clean so coming home was so nice. We will definitely request her again.
I’m grateful! I was instantly comfortable with Sophie! She was confident, which I find important when caring for my fur baby n grand pup! She kindly listen and follow through with whatever I asked! I certainly hope to be able to book her again before summer’s end! Most importantly, I could tell Butta & Chip liked Sophie too!
Excellent sitter. Very friendly and attentive. Kept us updated on the status of our pets. We'd gladly have her sit for us again.
There’s no greater peace when you go on vacation than knowing your fur babies are in good hands and you can enjoy your time knowing they are well taken care of. Evynn sends lots of pics, is respectful of my home when she stays and my pets seem super relaxed and content from hanging with her whenever I come home 😊
Kat is a great dog sitter. She gave my dog Rigatoni all the love and did great at following the special feeding instructions for my special boy. 😊🐶 Highly recommend.
Andrew is so good to our pup. He is incredibly attentive and just so enthusiastic about being with him and caring for him. This was the first time we left our puppy and we felt so much better knowing that Andrew was the one caring for him. We got lots of pictures and updates and Fred had the time of his life hanging out with Andrew. Would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone needing extra help and love for their pup.
Butt’a liked Mario at our meet n greet, that’s huge for me. At the sitting Butt’a got to go on a nice walk and I appreciate the walking n feedback! Butt’a LOVES to walk around the neighborhood! I found Mario responsive, responsible and accountable, these are importance to me!
