“We were grateful to have Lauren come and do full day sits for our two cats. She was excellent with communication prior and during our entire trip away, and did a wonderful job with our kitties. Thanks Lauren!”
“Kim was an amazing house sitter. She was very communicative, took great care of the pets, and left my house squeaky clean. I could tell from the photos she sent that my pups were very comfortable and relaxed with her. 12/10!”
“I am Brooke’s first client with Rover and I definitely won’t be her last! She was a delight to have stay in my house with my three dogs. She took especially amazing care of my 16 year old who is blind and mostly deaf and still managed played all day with our other 2 pups. I received many photos and videos without prompt. We will definitely be asking Brooke back to help us out when we travel. Highly recommend her!”
“Tommy is a very friendly person who took great care of my pup. He’s trustworthy and diligent, sending pictures multiple times a day (and they’re great pictures!). I highly recommend him.”
“Stephanie was a great cat sitter. She really helped us out when another Rover sitter canceled and it was getting closer to our departure. She responded immediately and we set up a meet and greet. All went well and we booked her that day. I didn't manage my time effectively and ended up leaving a small note about staying at our apartment and our cat Meka. No problem, we were able to communicate through text and she just knew what to do anyway. She sent pictures every morning and also extra ones with cute poses. I could see Meka had made a new friend. Our plane got in late and she stayed to make sure the cat was feed. Everything was in order and our plants were even taken care of. Don't hesitate book Stephanie, we would again.”
“Sara was fantastic! Her communication was spot-on and kept us perfectly updated on Frisbee. We’re at the tail end of a kitchen remodel, and she was incredibly accommodating despite the less-than-ideal circumstances. We’ll absolutely be using her again.”
“Madeline was such a great doggy sitter! I have two pups, both with their own special personalities (one is a little shy and anxious and the other is a little reactive to strangers). She came to do a meet and greet so they would feel comfortable the day of, and she was so patient and sweet with them. She was very attentive and listened to all the details we were sharing with her. She seemed super confident and experienced. For the day of (we were actually getting married!), we did not have to worry one bit about them and she sent us many cute pictures to update us on how they were doing. They looked at ease :) Would definitely recommend her and will contact her again if we ever need a dog sitter. :)”
“Yoo Jee is the best! She took excellent care of our pets and home! One of our bathrooms flooded unfortunately while we were gone and she took care of everything. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Taylor took great care of my two chihuahuas and home while my husband and me were gone for the holidays. We so appreciated her availability on Christmas! The dogs seemed happy when we returned and the house was in good order.”
“Hugo was very caring, communicative and conscientious! Took great care of our dogs. Especially since our little Beagle had a panic attack due to fireworks. We will be calling him again!”
“Sanaz is absolutely wonderful! Milo and especially Atlas adore her! They snuggle right up and are completely attached whenever she’s around. It’s clear how much love and comfort she brings them. I’ve already booked her again! She is truly wonderful.”
“Aubrey and Prarana are fantastic! Very responsive, they communicate regularly while sitting with pictures and detailed reports. We have a puppy who needs a lot of play and attention - Aubrey seems to really enjoy working with him! We’ve used them twice for overnights and I’m so relieved to have found reliable people who truly love animals to stay in my home. 10/10 recommend!”
About: Hi, I’m Sofia—I’m currently working from home as a graphic designer. I’m a life-long dog owner with years of experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and great with shy or cautious animals. I’ll make sure your furry (or feathered!) friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Bonus—I’m also an illustrator, so let me know and I can draw your pet as a little keepsake! I’m currently working part-time and remotely so I have a flexible schedule to be there for your pets! I’m happy to accommodate and discuss how I can be of service. I follow your home’s rules and your pet’s care instructions closely to make sure they feel safe and you feel confident. I always double-check gates, locks, and am extra careful when opening doors. I keep a close eye on curious noses and paws—whether that means keeping terriers out of the trash or making sure no one snacks on mystery items during walks. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities!
“Erika is one of the best! Pre-stay, she communicated to ensure that her time away from the house would work for our dogs. During our meet and greet, she took notes about the dog's behavior, feeding and walking schedules, house quirks, etc. Throughout her stay, she sent updates with photos and videos. It was clear that our boys were having a great time with Erika. Our boys can't wait for Erika's next visit!”
“We could not have been happier with Bianca's care and attentiveness for Indiana. Her calm and considerate presence assured us right away we had found the best fit to spend 6 nights with him. As a senior dog with some extra care needs she kept us up to date on the major and minors of his day to day and with each photo she sent it was obvious their bond was growing strong. We trust her completely and would 100% recommend and book her again.”
“Karen did a wonderful job looking after my 4 dogs and 2 tortoises! One of the dogs had medicine and special food, and another was very skittish and difficult to feed. But she cared for them all and sent me regular updates. Very grateful for all that she did to take care of my babies <3”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a kid. Many of my family friends have asked me to care for their pets when they are away. I am very good at keeping their daily routines and walk them as much as the owner requests. I have a very open schedule after finishing my degree so i could easily fit them into my daily routine. If I have a busy day I make it a priority to make sure the dog is cared for and gets enough attention. I usually try to be in the same room as the pets I care for. Constantly checking their water bowls that they are full and making sure the fur baby is getting lots of love and attention!
“Celeste is terrific! You can tell she really loves dogs. She took care of our two dogs in our home over Thanksgiving, and sent photos each day. Celeste is great at communication and we had no problems whatsoever. We will definitely book Celeste the next time we go out of town.”
About: I have been caring for pets and kids my whole life, but have only been paid for it the last ten years! I love to hike and explore nature and it’s always more fun with a furry friend!! I work seasonally as a cook across the country, but my parents live LA, I’m staying with them until the winter and would love to spend my time with your best friends while I’m here!! I’m very good at following directions and believe you know how to care for your pets best! I always try to maintain a safe and fun vibe to make you and your little friends as comfortable as possible.

Sofia F.
“We've been working with Sofia for almost a year and Sofia is a great pet caregiver! Our West Highland Terrier-Jack Russell Terrier mix (and rescue) is very wary of people, including people he interacts with regularly. He doesn't really like physical contact, except from his Mom and Dad, and even then in limited amounts. But he's really taken to Sofia, more than any other pet sitter we've worked with previously. Sofia is very calm and gentle and her presence has a positive effect on our pup. He's happy to see her and will even let her pet him occasionally. Sofia is diligent about keep our pup on his walking and feeding schedule, and she plays with him/keep him engaged, when he's interested in that (which is not always.) Sofia is also very communicative, texting/sending photos as often or as little as we like, and keeping us informed if any issues. Sofia stays at our home and is very respectful of the space as well. It is a huge relief to have someone like Sofia to care for our pup when we are out of town. I highly recommend Sofia-she's the best!”

Talia H.
“Tali was raised with Golden Retrievers her whole life, and as such she loves dogs. She still cares for our dog on occasions, and it is always with love and care. She is always watching youtube or tiktok videos of pets but dogs in particular and forwarding us the exceptional cute ones. I think Tali will be just as loving with anybody's pet, as she seems to have almost excessive empathy for these animals.”
