“I'm delighted to share that Katherine provided outstanding care for our whippet, Finn. Her commitment was evident as she went above and beyond, even staying overtime to ensure Finn's well-being until we returned. We greatly appreciate her dedication and highly recommend her as a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
About: I'm fortunate to have cared for animals since childhood and find true joy in treating others pets as my own. Family, friends and neighbors have relied on my consistency, responsibility and compassion when they need someone to look after their babies. I am very comfortable with multiple animals, senior care and challenging personalities. I am able to remain calm in chaos and understand the importance of communication. My three-year old German Shepherd mix, Pharaoh, keeps me on my toes and engaged with the latest in pet parent world! Currently in between jobs which allows me to be flexible depending on the needs of the client and their pets. While I do have my own boy dog, Pharaoh, our routine can be adjusted without issue. I will follow the exact instructions needed and am very communicative in terms of sending photos, videos and ensuring there are no disruptions to a pets routine. I have a deep understanding of how important consistency is to building trust with an animal and will do everything required to make sure both the client and their baby feel safe and at peace.
“Sahirah was absolutely amazing with my dogs. She was very communicative with me and loving towards my animals. She sent me plenty of pictures and was very responsive. I highly reccomend her!”
“Emilie is so kind and gentle with my pup. She’s also very conscientious, always confirming the appointments and showing up on time. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Avery! She took incredible care of both our dogs and our home while we were away. We came back to a clean, organized house that was above and beyond what we expected, and our pups were clearly happy, relaxed, and well-loved. Avery kept us updated with lots of great photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We would not hesitate to use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring.”
“Gabriana was so sweet and thoughtful with our anxious pup! She was punctual and very communicative. Looking forward to having her take care of our pup again.”
“Avi is THE BEST. I rebooked him after having a great experience a few months ago, and this time he exceeded expectations yet again. While I was gone, the Palisades and Eaton fires erupted. Avi kept in contact when I had service to keep me updated and even communicated to me that he was prepped to evacuate with my dogs if it came to that. Thankfully our area never had to, but I felt they were completely safe and secure under his care—even in such crazy circumstances! I returned home to two very happy dogs. Thank you again, Avi!”
“Amanda was a great pet sitter! She watched our 3 dogs and 1 cat like a pro. I felt very happy knowing all my fur babies were in her care. We can’t wait to have her back.”
“Courtney was a fantastic cat sitter. She took wonderful care of her and handled Gaia’s asthma medication with so much patience and confidence, even during those first few days when it can be a bit tricky. It was such a relief knowing Gaia was in calm, capable hands. I’m really grateful for the care and attention Courtney gave her, and I’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
“Ellyot was great! She took care of our 2 year old bernadoodle and our 19(!) year old kitty for a week. She is super organized, kind, responsive and loving! She sent daily photos of both pets. She also reached out with questions when they arose. She’s completely trustworthy, super neat and our pets loved her right away after the meet and greet. We will definitely use her again and again!”
“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: I’ve had pets since I was six and have enjoyed being a go to for family and friends fur babies when they travel. From ferocious chihuahuas to cuddly kittens, I’m open to care for all! I am self employed so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to walk, sit with and check in on pets. My favorite pups moved out of town so I’m looking forward to spending time making new pet friends. I am always respectful of the rules when house and pet sitting and want to be sure pet parents see me as someone they can trust.
About: If you’re looking for someone who absolutely adores animals AND is responsible/ reliable then I am your gal! I have a profound love and respect for any animal and would love to share my services/experience with you! I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was in diapers and have developed such a deep respect and love for any pet I’ve come across. I’ve had cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, you name it! I’ve raised the majority of them from their baby stage such as their puppy/kitten stage. I also have had the pleasure of giving them a beautiful life and led them into their senior stage. I also volunteer at cat shelters and have pet sat for friends and family members. I make it a priority to provide a safe and welcoming environment so any pet under my care can feel comfortable with me. I also love to play for whatever time your pet needs and give joy to every pet under my care. My past clients would describe me as very reliable, patient, warm, and very flexible and understanding of certain needs your pet may have. I understand every furry friend is unique and different from one another so any accommodation or request you may have, I am more than open to adjusting! I currently have three of my own. I have a husky, shih tzu and a Siamese cat! So I have a very broad experience with different sized pets and I’ve enjoyed every second of it. I have a very open and flexible schedule and I would love to provide my services to you! As I work with the local district, I have returned back to work for the fall semester. However, my work day ends at 3pm! So it still allows me to have a very open/flexible schedule. I can do weekdays after 3pm and weekends including holidays! I’m available from early noon to late at night. Weekends include anytime after 6pm. I have a gated porch with lots of room for play and a quiet calm neighborhood for long walks and quality time with your pet. I can also administer medication and crate or provide any instructions left by the owner.
“Michelle took care of my little angel while she was recovering from a paw injury and did an amazing job ❤️🩹 Normally I would never leave my dog after a vet visit like that but we had this trip planned for months and I knew she would be in good hands with Michelle. She gave her all her medications and followed all her instructions while taking care of my home. Thank you!”
El Sereno pet parents share their Rover experiences
Avery is a wonderful dog sitter, it was a very reassuring knowing our old boy Kahu was in such good hands while we were in Japan. She sent us lots of photos and updates and was very observant of Kahu's needs, noticing he had an issue with his paw and nail which she treated. She looked after our house too. We're so glad to have found a dog sitter we trust so much!
Patrick stayed with our dog and cats for about a week and we've never felt so at ease on a trip knowing they were with him. He was always checking in and sending us photos and you can tell he truly enjoys spending time with animals and cares for them. It was also our dog's birthday and he made sure she got a special walk and treats which was very sweet! Thank you so much again Patrick!!!
Wow! Cannot recommend Hilary enough. She housesat our pup for several days on short notice, even extending her stay when our plans changed last-minute. She communicated clearly throughout the trip, and even left our place cleaner than she found it. Will 100% be rebooking Hilary in the future, and our pup, Brock, wholeheartedly agrees! Brock is an anxious boy but took a liking to Hilary immediately If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your pet in your home, you cannot go wrong with Hilary!
Liency was amazing with my 2 dogs and cat. My dogs are a bit temper-mental and she’s been so professional in how she handles them. She updated me 2x a day with photos and reassurance that they were doing great. Additionally one if my dogs has to take meds and get eye drops throughout the day and liency was a pro handling that. Thanks so much, will definitely book again!
Jovi can be quite particular with whom he is comfortable with, so it was a great sign that he did not bark at Polli at our meet and greet. When she arrived for sitting, he was just fine with her in the apartment and didn't try to bark at her to leave. It is always nice to feel your dog is comfortable when leaving! I was gone for a week and when I got home Jovi was clearly well cared for. Polli did a great job getting new pony tails for him so he could see, the house was clean, and Jovi was in good spirits!
JAMIE IS THE BEST ROVER I HAVE EVER HAD!!! I’ve had my cat for ten years, and have used rover many times. But Jamie? She’s different. My cat is very particular, high needs sweet boy who needs meds three times a day. He is very attached to me, and leaving him is difficult for both of us. But the moment he met Jamie? He was smitten. She sent me a video of him purring next time her. Genuinely? He’s in love. Jamie was communicative, kind, and so very good to my boy. She is now our go-to sitter. Best rover I have ever had!!!
I am so happy that I had Liana care for my dog Sparky. Sparky is a geriatric special needs dog that needs medication for heart disease 6 times a day. He also has degenerative disc disease so needs help going up steps and lifting him. Liana was tender and lovingly caring for Sparky, knew where he was all the time he was in her care. I highly recommend her without any reservations. I was totally at ease knowing Liana was cring for Sparky.
William went above and beyond taking care of Hazel while we were out of the country for a week. He kept us posted with regular updates and followed our instructions to a T. Hazel is a relatively high-maintenance dog and William followed our instructions carefully during his time with her. He took her on neighborhood hikes to keep her active and sent us daily pics to keep us at ease that she was being well taken care of. Responsible and reliable, I highly recommend William for dog sitting / house sitting.
Jana was amazing!!! We were panicking because Ollie started having an upset stomach the night before she started watching him, but she handled it so well, helped us talk to our vet, and even made him rice to help with his stomach. She kept us updated and he felt better after a couple of days. We’re so grateful for her taking such good care of him. She also kept the house clean, which we really appreciate! Thank you so much!! 🩷
Naomi was absolutely wonderful with Poster Nutbag and Piper during our four-day weekend away. Her genuine love for animals came through immediately — and the calm, contented state our babies were in when we got home said everything about the quality of care she provided. Attentive, thoughtful, and clearly at ease with both cats and dogs, Naomi made sure our home was in great hands too. We returned to happy pets and a spotless house, which is honestly the dream. We can't recommend her highly enough and are already looking forward to booking her again!
I have a reactive German Shepherd, and it can be difficult introducing her to new people. Lio (Jenny) was incredibly patient with us and very understanding of the challenges that come with having a reactive dog. I honestly thought I would never be able to get my dog to trust a new person, let alone leave her alone with them. But my dog felt safe and comfortable with Lio and took to them very well. We left for a 5-day trip, and Lio was very communicative and attentive to the dogs the entire time. Sent us plenty of pictures and videos. I could also tell our house was well taken care of. I feel so relieved to have found someone like Lio that I can truly trust to take care of my babies
