“Breanna was very responsive and took great care of Fitz. He is shy and cautious by nature, but seemed very comfortable and happy in the photos and when I returned. I think he had a great time!”
“Left our three musketeer pups for the weekend, 2 of which are senior and one that requires a bit of extra assistance. We got the cutest and most detailed updates of our pups, and could tell how well taken care of they were while we were gone. Can’t wait to have Stephanie watch and walk our fur babies again next time!”
“Marita is a natural with animals. She took good care of Teddy and he immediately warmed up to her. Overall, very satisfied with her flexibility, professionalism and service.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since childhood. I have almost a decade of dog walking and pet sitting experience. I know how important animals are to their owners and treat them as such. Currently, I am only doing pet sitting and dog walking as my full time job so I have a lot of time to take care of your pet’s needs. I babysit small animals at my home but bigger animals I go to the client’s home due to lack of space at my home for bigger animals. I also find that it helps the pet get use to me if I am in their environment .
“Jade was an excellent sitter for our frenchie, Annie. She was very attentive to her needs and provided great company for our girl. Jade took great care of our home while we were away & provided plenty of updates and pictures throughout the day. Annie enjoyed her time in her home with Jade and is looking forward to her next visit ! :)”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and patience I have for animals. I have experience caring for both playful puppies and senior dogs with special needs. I’m attentive, gentle, and always focused on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy. I’m also familiar with basic training, giving medications, and making sure every pet feels loved like they’re part of the family. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life because of my two dogs, Bobby and Dutch. They’ve taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and being present. My daily routine already includes early morning walks, feeding schedules, cleaning up, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. Caring for them has made me naturally organized and attentive to the needs of other pets. Whether it’s a puppy full of energy or a senior dog needing a slower pace, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their usual routine closely including meals, walks, potty breaks, and playtime while creating a calm, pet-friendly environment. I’m experienced with crate training and can help reinforce good habits, making sure pets feel secure in their space. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed, carefully following instructions to ensure their health and well-being. I keep everything clean, provide regular updates to owners, and treat every pet like family. Thanks to Bobby and Dutch, I understand the importance of patience, structure, and lots of love in pet care.
About: I was a soldier in my country, I took my dog training course and worked with many breeds. I really like sharing my time with pets and I will take care of them as if they were my own. I work part-time and I want to share my free time with pets and take care of them as if they were my own and pamper them so that they feel good with me until they return home. I have an empty backyard which I could use for the care and much more of your pets with the greatest security and more confidence
“Natasha was great with our Husky! She always replied in a timely manner and our pup seemed to really like her. The amount of pictures and updates that she shared with us was perfect. Definitely recommend!”
“Emily was fantastic with our puppy. She sent pictures and updated us on how the day was going. Our dog was immediately comfortable with her and they had a great day together!”
About: I have taken care of family and friends’ pets since my teenage years. I also owned my own dog but sadly she has passed. Still even though I will replace her I still enjoy the companionship and loyalty of all fury pals. I am flexible with my schedule as long as you give me a days’ notice to set myself up. Communication is key. Mon - Fri I am free after 5pm till 10pm and can sleep over if needed. Weekends if i have nothing going on can be available anytime just ask. I am good a following instructions. Just provided me with how you like things done with your dog and I meet expectations without any problems.
“Nicole was the first pet sitter I ever used, and I couldn't have asked for a better person. She was professional, highly communicative, and adept at caring for my senior rabbit and cats. My senior rabbit required medication throughout, which she managed well. It was reassuring to have Nicole there for my pets, and her evident love for animals and experience shone through. Amazing Housesitting! I would highly recommend her with a 10/10 rating.”
“Natasha was not only great with our dog Bruce but also a respectful house guest. She sent images of Bruce that kept us smiling while we were on our vacation, and we knew he was having a good time with her. I think she gave Bruce more walks and quality time than we’re usually able to give - so we hope to have her stay next time we’re out of town, too.”
About: With over two years of pet care experience, I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet like family. I pay close attention to little details, like their favorite toys, preferred walking spots, treat times, and how they like to be greeted. Whether it’s belly rubs or playtime, your pet’s comfort and happiness always come first Currently, I’m getting online early morning training in my new skills, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pet. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening playtime, I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I follow their routines, respect house rules, and pay attention to small details like locked gates and secure leashes. I create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and happy
About: Availability: All day (occasional 4-6 hr shifts) I’m a teacher with my summer off and lots of free time. I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of animals and I believe care and comfort is best achieved through maintaining consistency for your pet and providing them with plenty of attention, making sure they get fed on time, have their daily walks, and most importantly got some affection and playtime from me as well. I moved over to Rover from TrustedHouseSitters where my partner and I house/pet sit for others. I have housesit for 9 different hosts for a total of 90 nights, caring for both cats and dogs, and we had a 5-star review from all of our hosts which you can see in my pictures. My experience as a teacher has prepped me for taking care of people’s little ones at the same time and I hope to bring that experience with me when I get to know you and your pet! I enjoy running, so if your have a very active dog that would enjoy going on a run with me, I would be happy to take them with me in the morning or evening. Summer just started so I’m available with enough notice most times of day and would be happy to spend time with your pets on weekends! With my experience housesitting, I'm used to caring for pets and a host's home! I'm communicative and love sending updates/pictures of how everyone is doing. I prioritize maintaining a clean space, a set feeding and walking schedule, and spending time with the dogs to give them good company. I'm careful when it comes to walks and stick to the sidewalks, quiet roads, and parks. I am male, so if your dog is aggressive around men, please keep my safety in mind as well.
About: I grew up with dogs, they were a big part of my childhood. I've learned to love them as family, care for them and make them feel at home. For me, interacting with dogs is not only a job but necessary. I'm a very active person so I'm ready to play and run all day at the park, beach or any public spaces with your dog. I live in an apartment but I'm located nearby parks and dog friendly spaces in the Santa Monica area. I love the outdoors but don't mind staying indoors and cozy. I'm mostly available during weekdays during the day, but I'm flexible to accommodate depending in the need. I am auditioning most of the week, so my schedule is both flexible and depends on the time of my auditions. I usually go for walks with the dogs and play with them, and their preferred toys. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend(s)!

Caroline G.
“Caroline is my friend and neighbour when he was living in kenya. Her passion for pets is what set us apart, when she got married, she chose pet(dog) as her first priority while I chose to have a child. Her obsession with pets and treating them with compassion makes her a good candidate to take care of dogs. To her they are not animals but souls in four legs. There will be no better person to do this Job as her.”

Over 50 pet parents in Central Business District have booked house sitting
Central Business District pet parents share their Rover experiences
I booked Rachel last minute, and she was quick to respond. She’s incredibly responsible, respectful of our home, and, most importantly, she was so sweet with my puppy, Oliver. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day, and he looked so happy. I’ll absolutely be booking her again whenever I need a sitter for Oliver! Highly recommend!
Deb was great with Pebbles (formerly Mogwai). Pebbles is our new 10 month old puppy. We adopted her about 1 1/2 weeks before we had to go away for the weekend so we were very concerned about Pebbles adjusting. Everything went fine. Deb understood what Pebbles needed and kept us informed during the weekend. It made for a smooth weekend. I would highly recommend Deb to anyone!
Bree was amazing with Ludo and Bowie! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures while we were away for a long weekend. Left the house spotless and even ran the laundry. The pups obviously enjoyed their time and perked up when I mentioned Bree's name. Thank you! Will absolutely book again.
Natasha was not only great with our dog Bruce but also a respectful house guest. She sent images of Bruce that kept us smiling while we were on our vacation, and we knew he was having a good time with her. I think she gave Bruce more walks and quality time than we’re usually able to give - so we hope to have her stay next time we’re out of town, too.
Jestine was on time, friendly, personable, paid attention, asked great questions, and was generally a joy to work with. Our 70lb. Rottsky has Separation Anxiety and can be a handful, but Jestine was awesome with him. We hired her to house sit the dog, but she also calmed our anxieties about leaving him alone! It's always a bit odd to have a relative stranger in your home, but after just a few minutes chatting, our fears melted away. We look forward to welcoming her back again!
Keith was wonderful at accommodating our last minute weekend house sitting request. It was our first time being away from our pup after only 3 weeks of ownership. We explained the situation to Keith, and he came over for a meet and greet. Our dog took to him right away and put our mind at ease. Keith is personable, respectful and a clear dog lover. We look forward to booking with him again.
Abi is fantastic! She cared for our pets and home as if they were her own. She took our dog on a walk on the snowy forest trails everyday and sent us a pet update with photos each evening. She even offered to buy crickets for our lizard and left a really nice gift for our pup. The bed was stripped, blankets folded, and the house was tidy. You can't ask for a more perfect sitter.
David is as good as it gets. He is responsible, communicative, professional, friendly. Our cats and dogs were immediately at ease with him. He sent pictures of our pets while we were away, gave the dogs even more walks than we do and left the house even cleaner than we left it. I highly recommend David!!
