“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.”

“Fallon did an excellent job caring for my 3 pups while we were out of town. She took great care of our place while she stayed there for 6 days, and sent lots of updates while we were gone. I would highly recommend her and will use her again!”

“Timothy was everything you’d ever want in a sitter! Kind, thoughtful, attentive, intelligent, quickly won over the pups, reliable, and communicative. And sends lots of photos too! We were so lucky to find him last minute and will DEFINITELY book with him again.”

“Oksana did an amazing job looking after my Mochi while I was gone for a week! She stayed over night and made sure she got plenty of play time and love. From the pictures, I think my kitten might have even liked spending time with her more than she likes it with me! Would definitely recommend Oksana for anyone who wants to ensure their cat is happy and cared for while they are away. Thanks Oksana!”

About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals, from beloved pets to working as a pack care manager with wolves and wolf-dog hybrids. I have extensive hands on experience in real world animal care and behavior. I recently graduated from a specialized animal care and training program, where I deepened my knowledge in training, welfare, and animal behavior. I’m especially passionate about understanding how animals think, communicate, and thrive, and I bring that enthusiasm into every animal I work with. Honestly, my whole life revolves around pet care. It’s important to me to provide an enriching life to my own pets, and of course to the pets that I care for regularly. I thoroughly follow all directions given by owners and am very meticulous and detail oriented. I have experience caring for geriatric animals, as well as animals who need medications multiple times a day and specific, personalized needs.
“I knew my doggies were in good hands with Esther. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. She did a great job house sitting and followed all my instructions. My dogs seemed well cared for and happy when I got home. I especially appreciate the pictures Esther sent every day.”


About: Animals have been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had Blitzen, a shepherd-chow-briard mix who was equal parts protective and sweet, and she shaped the way I think about dogs early on. My family now has Kona, a briard who is basically a giant ball of love. Dogs have always been a big part of my everyday and that’s not something I’d ever want to change. Before joining Rover, I spent a year working at a dog daycare where I was hands-on every day, bathing, feeding, playing, supervising group time, and keeping everything clean and running smoothly. The most valuable part of that experience was learning how to read different temperaments quickly, de-escalate tension between dogs, and prevent conflicts before they started. I got comfortable with a wide range of breeds and personalities, from the easy-going to the reactive, and I know how to keep every dog feeling safe. I work from home running my own business, which means I have genuine flexibility throughout the day. Frequent check-ins, walks, and attention aren’t a stretch, they’re just how my day runs. Your dog won’t be sitting around waiting. I’ve also been around cats my whole life and am comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I always let them come to me on their own terms. I take your routines seriously, keep your home tidy, and send real updates, not just a quick thumbs up. Your pet’s comfort and your peace of mind are the whole point. I work from home running my own business, which means I have lots of flexibility throughout the day. Frequent check-ins, walks, and attention aren’t a stretch, they’re just how my day runs. Your pet won’t be sitting around waiting. I live in a pet friendly building with many parks and grassy areas for your animal to enjoy. Currently there will be no other pet if boarded at my home and I have access to a fenced yard if your animal is in need of one. I’m well equipped to provide a safe and structured environment for your pet, in their home our mine.
“JeaDa was truly exceptional while caring for my two dogs, Bella and Pepper, for an entire week in my home. From the very beginning, she was warm, professional, and incredibly trustworthy, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the week, she went above and beyond in every way. She was not only responsible and reliable, but also deeply caring and attentive to my dogs’ individual needs. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals—Bella and Pepper were not just looked after, they were nurtured and cared for with real affection. JeaDa kept me consistently updated with thoughtful check-ins, messages, and photos, which meant so much to me. I never once felt worried or uncertain while I was away because I always knew exactly how they were doing. She created a sense of continuity and comfort for them, and I could tell they felt safe, relaxed, and happy in her care. When I returned home, everything was in perfect condition, and my dogs were calm, content, and clearly very well taken care of. That, to me, says everything. I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend JeaDa to anyone looking for a pet sitter who is not only dependable and responsible, but truly compassionate and invested. She is a rare find, and I would trust her again without hesitation.”

About: I've grown up with animals my entire life! From the moment my parents surprised my brother and me with our first dog when I was 7, I've loved caring for pets of all kinds. Since I was 10, I've been trusted by neighbors, friends, and family to walk, feed, and love their dogs and cats while they're away. I'm an animal lover through and through, and I treat every pet as if they were my own-making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're gone. My fiancée and I have a Beagle and we couldn’t imagine our lives without her. I work fully remotely and have flexibility to provide care all day, every day. I can provide any amount of attention and love your pet needs. I am truly an animal lover and strive to provide individualized care based on your pets’ unique needs. After graduating from UCLA a few years ago, I began helping neighbors and friends with their pets. I would love to expand my network in the community to love as many animals as possible.
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and truly treat every pet like family. I have experience with both cats and dogs of all sizes, including senior pets and pets with medical needs. After caring for my own dog through health challenges, I understand how important patience, attentiveness, and comfort are when trusting someone with your fur baby. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have cats of my own and genuinely enjoy caring for animals. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, walks, playtime, feeding, medication, cuddles, and consistency they need to feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very attentive, patient, and communicative, and I’ll treat your fur baby like one of my own.
“Celeste took great, loving care of my dog Bella and my cat Kitty. They both absolutely loved her, as I could tell from the many wonderful pictures she sent. She was very conscientious about walking and feeding Bella and spending a lot of time with both Bella and Kitty day and night.”
