“Jojo is fantastic! We received great updates with pics and videos of our pets every day and the house was absolutely pristine when we returned. We had complete peace of mind on our vacation knowing Jojo was here taking care of everything!”
“Cheryl was a wonderful pet sitter. She was very caring to all my pets and my home! I work from home so my pets are used to having someone around. Cheryl gave them the presence and attention they were used to. I highly recommend her.”
About: I am reliable and hard-working. I will love your animal while you are away so you can relax and enjoy your trip. All I need is a job from you! I am currently retired, so your schedule needs are easy. Just let me know when you need me and I will drive to you. I have nothing but time. I am currently not taking care of pets in my home. I can travel anywhere you need me to. I love exploring new areas around me.
About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals of all sizes and temperaments. I am very comfortable handling a wide range of personalities on and off leash. Currently I have two dogs who are reactive, so I’m very familiar with managing behavior challenges calmly and safely. I’m experienced in giving medications when needed and take pride in providing calm, consistent, and loving care. I have a flexible schedule, a reliable vehicle, and am open to helping with overnights. I am not working elsewhere currently so I'm ready to make caring for your pet part of my routine! This also enables me to be much more flexible to fit you and your pet's needs. I am able to care for them in your home only at this time. This way they will feel their most comfortable while we get to know each other.
About: Ive taken care of many different types of dogs ranging from a husky, chihuaha, yorkie, poodle and more! Including dogs with eye/hearing problems. Puppies and older dogs as well. I have much experience with it all including walking,feeding, bathing, ect. I also love furry cuddles! Im currently doing school online, so I am available any time or day. My schedule is very flexible, Im available for multiple visits or walks daily. I am a clean person so no mess will be left behind. I can provide safety of the pets and their home. I will follow owners instructions as well as being responsive, taking good care of the home, and providing outstanding petcare.
About: Hi, I'm Philip! I grew up with animals, and have always been around them for as long as I can remember. I started helping to take care of our cats, dogs, fish, and birds at home when I was about 7 years old, and have taken more complex and more numerous animal responsibilities since then. I've cared for cats, dogs, birds, fish, and even lizards for friends, family, and community throughout my teens and adult life. Daily pet care is as much a part of my routine as much as it is for the pets. I'm a scientist and engineer by trade, and I try to incorporate data on behavior, hygiene, and diet into my pet care practices (while prioritizing data from you, the pet parent!). I respect each animal's unique situation, and always do my best to make sure their needs and sensitivities are met. I've been told that I spoil pets by devoting so much time and energy to them, but so far none of the animals have complained! I promise that your fur babies will be in good hands. Thanks for considering me! I'm currently working part-time, and I currently live in an apartment with my partner and our cats. I'm not currently able to offer board for animals, but I am happy to check in, walk, or pet-sit/house-sit any day after 1pm, overnight on weekends, or overnight on pre-scheduled days of the week. I keep a list (whether mental or physical) of each pet's unique needs, and I incorporate their care into my daily routine. I always start by checking in with the pet themself, and let them know I'm there with them. I'll move on to other priorities and needs, as I'm informed about them. I always make sure to spend enough time with a pet to learn their habits, as well as their "tells" if something is wrong. I'm also big on open communication, and am happy to send text, photo, or video updates during each visit!
“Emmaline is fantastic! She treated our pup like her own and joyfully handled all of his needs. She sent great pictures and checked in regularly to let us know is how he was doing. She is professional and I highly recommend her. 5+ stars!!”
“We were so happy with Shaundra taking care of our dog and cat while we were away! Shesent regular updates with pictures, followed all our instructions perfectly, and clearly made our critters feel comfortable and loved. We have already booked her for more stays and I highly recommend her.”
About: Mature and experienced. I love animals and will take care of your pet as if they are my own. I will support whatever you and your pet need to make our time together comfortable and safe. Great communication. I will update you as often as you like. I work from home and can make my schedule fit your pet's needs. I enjoy frequent breaks and walks, both short and long. Your pet will not be alone for more than four hours in one day. Your pet can enjoy the great outdoors in my fenced in yard (approximately 15x15 feet, as well as all of the spaces of my 3 bedroom townhome.
About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life and have always seen them as a significant part of my family. I have experience in taking care of puppies (4 weeks & up), middle aged dogs, and elderly dogs. My family has always prioritized meeting the needs of all of our pets, and I look forward to doing the same for your fur babies. :) I am currently enrolled in summer courses at UC Santa Barbara, but have plenty of free time within my schedule. I am available in the mornings before 12pm and the afternoons/evenings after 2 pm, monday-thursday. On friday and the weekends I have open availability. I currently live in a fairly small apartment with other housemates so for any overnight requests, I would prefer it to be an in-house service. For requests that are just for the day or a few hours, I would be more than happy to keep your pup safe and entertained in my home.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—growing up with two dogs and two cats since I was three years old. Caring for pets has always been second nature to me. One of the hardest parts of being in college is being away from my own furry family, which is why I love helping others care for theirs. I’ve fostered multiple litters of kittens and have raised three dogs from puppyhood, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping your pets company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I am a student at UCSB currently on summer vacation working part time at the Ritz Carlton. On my days off I am available for walks and house sitting all day, and on days I do work I am available before and after work. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routines to keep them comfortable and happy. I follow all instructions, give lots of attention and affection, and keep you updated with photos and messages. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority!
“Anna was able to help me out in a pinch! She was so sweet and did a fabulous job watching my pup and keeping me updated though out the stay. Would definitely recommend, your pets will be in good hands!”
About: I am responsible, kind, and considerate when it comes to walking, feeding, administering medicine, and even doing at home stays! I have dog + cat sit for many of my family friends as well as cared for my own dogs during the many years that they have blessed our lives! I just graduated from UC Santa Barbara and am looking for a way to make a little extra money on the side doing what I love with the little fuzzy animals I love! I currently work a 9-5 on Monday-Friday at Apeel Sciences as an Associate Analyst but am always completely free in the later afternoons (after 5), as well as the evenings, and weekends! I also have an hour lunch break that I could totally help out with during that time if needed! I am responsible, communicative, trustworthy, reliable, and caring with your pet’s intentions and priorities on my mind at all times. I will most definitely make sure you & your pet’s needs are met!
“Kenzie was great with my 3 German shepherds. She stayed home with them the whole trip which is a rare treat. She was great at communication and seemed very confident in her sitting role. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: As a family of seven, we have successfully raised and trained many dogs. We are true pet lovers ❤️🐕 We've cared for and owned dogs, cats, parakeets, fish, and turtles. I truly enjoy the opportunity to care for others’ family pets through Rover. If you need your pet(s) taken care of for a day or a month, please reach out! I often bring one or more of my teens along to keep me company and to help provide extra exercice, pets, and fun for pets as well:) I have the summers off and are free most days for house visits, long walks and/or runs, routine feedings, check-ins, playtimes, and treat deliveries 😋 We don’t do boardings because our house is already full. When we care for pets, we read their emotions and lead with affection and kindness to reassure your pet that we are friendly face who they can trust. It’s important to me that all pets have a great experience when in my care.
About: I've had dogs my whole life. Growing up we had a mix, then a German Shepherd. As an adult, we had an Australian Shepherd for 16 years. He grew up with our children and is sorely missed. I have experience caring for and administering medications. I love playing and walking dogs, I especially like hikes and walks on the beach. I work part time so my hours and days are flexible. My availability allows should allow plenty of time to take special care of your pet. I have a fenced yard and baby gates in my kitchen, so if home care is needed it is possible that I may care for your pet in my home.

Kimberly S.
“My dog and cat fell in love with Kimberly right away! She is professional and passionate of taking care of them! We really appreciate her help!”
Linda S.
“Linda is a dream caregiver! She dogsat for our senior dog several times. They bonded quickly — especially impressive because he was a skittish rescue. She kept up with his meds schedule, and updated us regularly with pictures and comments. It’s always hard to leave your dog, but she made us (and him) feel comfortable.”
Lisa M.
“Lisa’s care of our three dogs was wonderful. She went above and beyond for them and took great care of our property as well. She even has a green thumb!”
Catherine M.
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Catherine. She has been caring for my 2-year-old Frenchie, Daisy, on a regular basis, and from day one, I knew Daisy was in the best hands. French Bulldogs can be a bit particular, and Daisy definitely has her own little routines and quirks — but Catherine took the time to understand her, connect with her, and make her feel completely comfortable and loved. Every time Daisy sees Catherine, she lights up with excitement. It’s so clear that Catherine has a true love for dogs and a calming, gentle energy that animals naturally respond to. She’s incredibly patient, affectionate, and attentive — the kind of sitter who goes above and beyond without ever being asked. I always feel at ease knowing Daisy is with her. Catherine sends thoughtful updates and photos during their time together, which means the world to me. Seeing Daisy happy, relaxed, and snuggled up or playing during those visits reassures me that she’s not just being watched — she’s being genuinely cared for. Catherine is also incredibly reliable and communicative, which makes everything so smooth. Whether it's sticking to Daisy’s feeding and potty schedule, giving her extra cuddles when she’s feeling a little needy, or just making sure she gets enough playtime and stimulation, Catherine always delivers with love and consistency. Finding someone you can fully trust with your dog is rare, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found that in Catherine. She’s become such an important part of Daisy’s life (and mine), and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and truly exceptional sitter.”
Jessenia M.
“Jessenia is absolutely wonderful with our dog, Mia! From the very first walk, it was clear how much they genuinely care about animals. Mia gets so excited every time she sees them at the door. Whether it’s daily walks or overnight sitting, we always feel confident knowing shes in great hands. Jessenia is reliable, communicative, and treats our pup like their own. We can’t recommend them highly enough!"”
Philip N.
“Philip is a true animal person. He has two kitties of his own and they are members of the family. He has cared for his and other people's pets with loving attention and kindness. He is extremely responsible and sensitive to various pet personalities, and is someone you can depend on to administer medications if needed, walk your dogs, play with and love your pets while you are absent. I have trusted him with caring for my pets over several years and he always does a terrific job so I feel good about leaving them with him. He has cared for my dogs many times when I was away over the years. I highly recommend Philip to care for your beloved angels.”
