“Jehiny did a great job at watching our baby girl Boxer. She sent updates and pictures which made us really happy. Boxers are very active and she managed her well. She’s 7 months old and loves attention. Jehiny ensured to give us an update upon our arrival and you could tell our baby girl had a great time. She was wagging her tail and looked very comfortable.”

“We had Don watch our 3 year old dog for 3 nights and 4 days. He was absolutely the perfect sitter. He arrived at 5:30AM so we could have our dog be with him while we headed to the airport to relieve any anxiety and stayed until 7:00PM so we could get back not too late with our dog being alone. Don was very kind, sweet, and attentive towards our dog. He asked for a detailed item list for his stay, he sent us a ton of photos and videos without us having to always ask, and reached out to help clean up sheets, vacuum, take the trash out before his stay ended. You can tell he has a passion for dogs and truly enjoys spending time with them. I would highly recommend Don if you are looking to enjoy your vacation or time away and want to feel like you can trust someone to make your dog happy. We look forward to hiring him again next time we are out of town. He will be our first choice in sitters moving forward.”

“Mahalia took good care of our pups and she was very respectful with our home and left our place tidy. our dogs loved her and we will definitely have here watch them again for our next trips! :)”


“Súper professional and accommodating. Needed a sitter last minute for Mother’s Day and Josh went above and beyond. Very good about communicating updates. Handled giving my dog Vida her pill. & just all around a kind and caring guy! Definitely will book with him again.”


About: Hey there! I am new to Rover but I work in tech and I am fully remote, I love animals and I am great with them, and I am looking to find ways to get out more! I graduated with my Master's from USC last year and now live in the downtown area but I have a car so happy to come to you. I grew up with cats and dogs and I regularly dog sit and cat sit for my friends. I promise your fur baby will be safe and loved with me. Excited to meet my first few pups and cats! I also do house sitting for your pet- If you have reliable WiFi and a small area I can work from I am happy to work remotely from your home to keep your dog or cat company while you are away! Because I am fully remote as an engineer I have a pretty flexible schedule throughout the day. My work schedule comes first but I already take breaks to go on walks so I would like to utilize rover and spend time with some animals during that time every day! In my client's homes I follow all given instructions, and just get to know your animal! I also will leave plenty of time to play with your animal and make sure they are not missing you too much.
“Nikki was amazing! She put my mind at ease the entire time I was away. I have an anxious pup (at times) and she did such a great job with him! My place looked spotless and perfect upon returning and my pup was happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Nikki and will hire her again!”

“We’ve been so scared about leaving our dog with sitters, but Rachel was super reassuring and communicative. We really appreciated the photos she sent over and our dog warmed up to her very quickly. We’ll be using her for future services!”

“Absolutely the BEST dog sitter EVER. Julia took our pup out made sure he had a wonderful day while we were away. Our pup is usually reactive and harder to take to parks without barking at other dogs a ton but she took initiative and our little guy had so much fun. She sent photos throughout the time we were gone so we could rest assured that our guy was safe and loved. She even brushed him on her own and he is now the fluffiest pup around. So thankful for her amazing talents with animals and happy attitude to be around she makes everyone feel at ease. Can’t recommend her enough!!!”

“Hannah was so great with watching my 11-week-old puppy! Unlike other Rover sitters, Hannah actually interacted with my puppy during playtime, didn’t keep him locked in the play pen all day, she was very good about cleaning up after him, and kept my home clean as well. The state of my home was a concern after other Rover sitters, but I would absolutely rebook Hannah again, for the sake of my home AND my puppy. I could tell he was happy and had a good day with Hannah. Thank you so much!!!”

“Gabriana was so sweet with our anxious pup and met all of her specific needs. Gabriana also went above and beyond taking care of our home. We are very much looking forward to booking her again in the future!”

“Karen was awesome! She was available super last minute for an overnight stay with my picky pitbull. Despite the short notice, she was able to find time to come meet Clementine before I headed out of town. She was kind and considerate, and I would definitely look to her again for future bookings.”


“Alexandrea took great care of our special needs puppy. She sent updates and photos through the day and it was a big piece of mind to know she was in good hands with such a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”

“Jenny was absolutely amazing. She is very responsive, quick and reliable and she took amazing care of our home and, most importantly, little Lily. Lily can be very shy with humans but she loves Jenny and we would book her again anytime. Thank you so much!”


About: I love animals. I grew up on a farm in Minnesota. I've always had pets. I am calm and succinct. They will be very safe. I am working part time where Iake my own schedule, so I can make any schedule work out. I live downtown and know all the good spots I love animals. They always respond to my nature. I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses. I am gentle and empathetic. I also responsible.
“I LOVE Mi-Cha-El !! I booked Mi-Cha-El fairly last minute when my original pet care fell through. He responded quickly and was willing to come to my place very soon after connecting in order to meet in person. He is so sweet, reassuring, and calm and you can really see his love for animals. He updated me with pictures and videos and my shy covid cat warmed up to him and they became friends. I will definitely be booking Mi-Cha-El again!! Thank you so much for your care and attention, Mi-Cha-El!”

We are the obsessed dog owners with a senior dog - Soren - who’s really been struggling this year. Sarah is the only sitter we trust and she’s been flexible and supportive - plus gentle and thoughtful with Soren. We have meds, a strict schedule, and she’s diligent and dependable. She’s helped us have a bit more of a life again and we went on vacation - she handled him for a week and was communicative the whole time!

Gabriana is amazing! She stayed at our house for 9 days while we were on vacation, taking care of our dog Bertie who was recovering from knee surgery. Not only did she take exceptional care of him (some meds, dressing the would, etc) but our house was spotless when we got back!

Melissa watched our animals and house sat for us. I made some mistakes in both my initial date requests and in some of the arrangements. Melissa not only took good care of the animals but was flexible and patient with us. I couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommend!

Lee was absolutely wonderful with our pets, especially our anxious boy over the 4th of July. He clearly understood how stressful the fireworks can be and went above and beyond by playing calming sounds for him whenever he left the house, which gave us so much peace of mind. He took excellent care of both of our pets, handled their medications with no issues, and kept our home spotless while we were away. His communication was the perfect balance: regular updates that kept us informed without being overwhelming. Lee is incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about the animals he looks after. We came home to two happy, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend!

Jessica took great care of our pups over the July 4th weekend. We were very nervous about fireworks, but she kept them, calm, safe, and having fun. She even went above and beyond when we needed two small house favors with deliveries. She’s very communicative, thoughtful, and sweet to our girls.

Nikki was amazing! She put my mind at ease the entire time I was away. I have an anxious pup (at times) and she did such a great job with him! My place looked spotless and perfect upon returning and my pup was happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Nikki and will hire her again!

Isabel was thoughtful, responsible and communicative while she stayed in our home with our dog Satya for 9 days. Before the stay, Isabel took the time to visit the neighborhood and our home to meet Satya and to make sure she was well informed on how to care for her. During her stay, Isabel was very respectful of our home and she took great care of Satya, including sending regular updates and photos. We would be happy to work with Isabel again and would definitely recommend her pet care services to others!
