“Emily was a great cat sitter for our 5 day vacation! She listened to us during our meet and greet. She was very attentive to our two cats that have different needs. She went above and beyond to bring in packages and the trash cans. Emily sent us updates with each visit that included pictures which we loved! We would for sure book with Emily again!”

“Africa was great with the girls, she kept us updated on how each of them were doing and they were all doing great upon our return. Our cats can take a while to warm up to some people so we’re very appreciative!”
“Ana is very friendly and my cat warmed up to her as soon as they met! Sasha got a chance to go outside and Ana took care of her water/litter needs. I would absolutely recommend her to any furbaby in need of a friend!”

“Kati is fantastic! She has a good head on her shoulders and knows the right thing to do without any fuss, but also follows all directions given. We will be booking with her again!”
“Adam was a life saver in making sure we felt secure about our babies and was great in accommodating our needs even though we booked him last minute. Great communicator and always provided thorough updates. Would definitely book with him again!”

“McKennah did such an amazing job with our cat! She is kind, responsive, and most importantly has a magic touch with animals! She is exactly the type of person that can put your mind at ease when you need someone to look over your pet while you are away. We hope to have McKennah anytime we are on vacation! Five stars :)”

“I had never used Rover or any service like it before and I was so nervous. I used the house sitting service and Anna was so sweet and took care of my two cats. Not only were the kitties taken care of and loved on, she kept the house all clean! She sent photos and when I reached out she replied in a very timely manner! Anna made my time away home a lot less stressful knowing she took care of everything so well. Any future trips, I’ll definitely be wanting Anna to watch the cats! Thank you ❤️”

“Heather was kind, punctual and knowledgeable on cat care. My male kitty went right up to her during the meet and greet. I will use her services again. Highly recommend Heather!”

About: I've lived with and taken care of pets practically all my life. I've helped bath, walk, brush, play with, or just keep them company. I've learn some need space while others prefer closeness, and willing to take the time to adapt to their comfortness. I currently have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care throughout the week. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and many mornings, depending on the service needed. I’m also open to overnight house sitting with advance notice. I do my best to be dependable, responsive, and work around your pet’s routine. I know pets feel safest in their own home, so I do my best to keep their routine consistent while you’re away. I follow feeding, potty, walk, and medication instructions carefully, while giving them attention, patience, and a calm presence.
“Paris is sweet and purr-fessional! She took care of my two kitties, Sarang and Saja, and won them over right away. It’s very difficult to leave my babies, especially being a first time cat parent but I felt at ease with her when I dropped them off at her place. She also sent adorable pictures of them, looking calm and content. Communication was easy and my Sarang and Saja came home happy! 😻”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, growing up with multiple dogs and cats in my home in Colorado (5 dogs and 5 cats over the years). I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, litter care, and making sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I currently have my own cat, Flynn, and also have experience with smaller pets like hamsters and fish. I love being around animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I work part-time as a basketball coach, so I’m typically available during the day. I also have flexibility to stop by in the evenings after practice if needed! I keep things calm and consistent so pets feel comfortable and safe. I follow routines closely and make sure they’re well taken care of during every visit.
About: Dog mom experience with more than a decade currently have a 3yr old French bulldog. From one dog mom to another dog parent. Let me help- let’s chat! I’ll treat your fur baby’s as my own. [Cat experience too! Had a 12 year old long haired] -Drop in visits -overnights -walks Right now I’m pretty open for walks every day. With advanced notice, I’m available for a weekend drop in visits and overnights. I’m flexible willing to work with each family. I am here to provide loving care with close observation from the safety of their own home and environment. For now I can’t provide my own home as a space to watch your fur babies.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for dogs and care for them with patience, respect, and genuine affection. I have experience with dogs of all ages — from playful puppies to calm seniors — and I adjust my care based on each dog’s individual needs and energy. What sets me apart is my calm presence and emotional sensitivity. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, understood, and completely at peace, just like they would with family. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I do some local deliveries during the day, but I always come home for lunch and stay nearby. In the evenings, I’m always home, so your dog will have plenty of company, care, and attention throughout the day and especially at night. I offer a peaceful, clean, and welcoming home where your dog will always feel comfortable and cared for. I only take one dog at a time, so they receive my full attention and a stress-free environment. Dogs are free to rest wherever they feel most at ease — on the couch, the bed, or their own cozy spot. I stay nearby during the day and am always home in the evenings to ensure they’re never left alone. Their routine, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.
“Kevin did such an excellent job caring for our cats while we were gone for the holidays. He gave our cats plenty of attention and love. He even sent us videos of them even though we didn't request them. I would absolutely rebook with Kevin. I recommend him 10/10.”

“Rachel is the best! She was super responsive and communicative and my kitty loved her. She clearly has experience with animals. We will go to Rachel with our future cat sitting needs.”
About: I love all animals and have raised many dogs and cats throughout my life. I've fostered pups for a rescue organization for over 3 years and worked with dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I'm very experienced with potty training, leash training, crate training, etc. I've worked with a dog trainer consistently for over 3 years in order to hone my skills and to assist me with some of my most challenging pups. I'm happy to offer pet care services such as drop ins, dog walking, playing, overnights, and dog sitting. I have lots of experience with both dogs and cats. Making sure your pet is safe and happy are my top priorities. I take every precaution to ensure that pets are secure in their environment and follow all instructions given by the client.

Escondido cat parents share their Rover experiences
I had an amazing experience with B this past weekend while I was at Coachella. She was incredibly attentive, clearly cared about the little details, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She sent lots of great photos of my cats, which I loved, and kept consistent communication the entire time. It’s such a relief knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again, highly recommend!

Breanna is truly so attentive, careful, knowledgeable, timely and kind. We had her drop-in on our cat for a week and she was the perfect sitter. Her communication was wonderful and each time I felt like she offered solutions not just problems. We felt that our cat was in great hands with Breanna. She is exceptional and very obviously cares for animals. We would hire her again and again.

Carolina was excellent, thoughtful and trustworthy taking care of my pets while I was away from home. She took the request on short notice and was still able to get fully familiar with my pets routine so that she could handle everything they need. My pets both drew to her immediately and she gave very positive and detailed updates as I was away. I highly recommend her for drop-ins and extended requests, and will definitely book her again.

Tamara went above and beyond my expectations. I really appreciated all the updates during her visits. My cat looked happy and relaxed in the pictures she sent, and I could see that she was taking very good care of him. My cat can be pretty messy, so I was also surprised to see everything so clean when I got home!

Carolina gave us excellent peace of mind during our short trip! We loved all the pictures and really appreciated her letting us know exactly when she was coming by so we could easily schedule the automatic feedings around her visit time. We won’t hesitate to use her services again!
