“This was our second time using Melissa to watch our two dogs/ house sit while we were away. Just like the first time, she did an outstanding job taking care of our pups and the condo! She sent us lots of pictures and made sure we always knew how things were going. I highly recommend her services.”


“Nicole took great care of our senior dog and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was being well taken care of and having a great time at home. Would 100% recommend her :)”


“Geneva was super communicative, considerate, and attentive to the needs of my dog Zelee! I appreciated how much thought and care she put into her stay with Zelee. I would absolutely recommend her services and would trust her to watch Zelee again.”


“Our 14YO female heeler bonded immediately with Aarti and she was probably sad when we returned. I like Aarti because she returns texts and requests in a very timely manner. We got photos from her every day which helped to ease any anxiety we had about using a new dog sitter. Her background as a vet assistant also eased our minds with our dog's history of Cushings disease. We travel a fair amount and are looking to have Aarti care for our girl in the future. Five stars for sure.”


“Very communicative and easy to get ahold of. They were able to extend out stay last minute due to a funeral, which we (and the dogs!) really appreciated. House looks great on return and dogs are well cared for. Our go-to family for dog sitting.”


“Brigit was amazing! She was super quick to respond and left me with a great feeling knowing that my pups were in great hands! She sent me pictures and kept me updated. Highly recommend her and I will be using her again!”


“Absolutely fabulous! Rachel stepped in last minute when another sitter fell through due to an emergency. We spoke on the phone and she asked great questions, then she arrived at our home to meet the pets when she said she would. From the moment Rachel was responsible for our pets, I felt confident knowing they were in good hands. We received daily updates and pictures. She played with each of them in their own ways. She even left our home spotless with towels and sheets cleaned (not expected AT all!!). Highly recommend Rachel for any pet sitting needs you may have!”


“Lucy was amazing! I knew my pup would have a rough time with separation anxiety but she was patient and loving with him and filled me in along the way. She took great care of the house and my fur baby so I could just enjoy the time away. Will definitely use her in the future. Thank you Lucy!”


“Tracy was exceptional. She showed sincere care for our aging cat, who has chronic kidney disease. He took a turn for the worse before Tracy was scheduled to care for him, but we were relieved to leave him in such capable hands. Tracy has medical experience with pets and was able to give our cat subQ fluids to help stabilize him. This level of expertise is rare among pet sitters. I can't recommend Tracy highly enough.”


“Rachel was a wonderful sitter and did a great job of taking care of our pup and our home. She was great at communicating and keeping us updated! Will definitely use her again!”


“Jace was fantastic! My Aussie immediately loved her.. so appreciated all the pics of the walks and play and snuggles. Felt completely comfortable with Jace in our house, you couldn’t even tell she was there! Definitely will rebook!”


“Skyler is so caring and awesome! I contacted Skyler with limited notice for a last minute trip. She came over the same day for a meet and greet. She wasn’t put off by my barky dog. Throughout the short day Skyler kept me updated and sent me pictures of my dog. When my dog unexpectedly got scared of intense thunder, Skyler reached out to see if there was a thing she could do to comfort her. Skyler is super caring and communicative! Will be booking with her in the future! 💗✨”


“Savanah watched Scarlett for the third time and as always she did a wonderful job! She takes Scarlett to the park and for walks and sends lots of pictures and updates. It’s so nice to enjoy our trip knowing Scarlett is so well taken care of!”


“Rhiannon is a wonderful caretaker and human. She communicates clearly, is patient, compassionate, and follows through. It was clear that my dog felt loved, comfortable, and well cared for, and her timely updates gave me peace of mind (he is a senior dog). Thank you, Rhiannon - Raj surely hopes to see you again!”


“I thank Marcus for his time over the holidays. I had wished for more check-ins and photos as the trip progressed. He was very accommodating when our travel plans changed.”


About: I have pet and house sat many friends over the years. I am extremely responsible and dependable. I have raised and cared for both dogs and cats! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so it's very easy for me to move around town and be in another location during the week. I prefer to take care of pet's in my clients home because I have three dogs at home. They are friendly, but I think my house is shrinking.

About: From time to time for the past 3 years I have taken proper care of my family’s pets outside my home but I can confidently say that I’ve been taken care of my own pets for my whole life! There hasn’t been one day that’s gone by where I haven’t taken care of them somehow. I’ve naturally grown the knowledge over the years how to properly care for small and large dogs and of course, cats! Right now I am temporarily working a part-time job, I am usually scheduled early in the mornings or evenings. I have to work around my job schedule which changes every week but I know my work schedule 2 weeks in advance. I have experience with scheduled feedings twice a day for dogs, daily feeding for cats, giving fresh water everyday, switching dogs and letting them outside throughout the entire day. I have experience with kennels for my own dogs sleep in their kennels. I have lots of experience with dogs that have to stay separated from one another due to dog fights, (my pets don’t like each other). I also have experience dog walking, playing and being able to identify changes in their well-being. I perform all these duties everyday with my own dogs and have experience doing so outside of my home. I take care of dogs that aren’t mine like my own according to the customers needs.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a small child. I have worked in the pet care industry since I was 18 years old and currently work in Emergency Veterinary Medicine. I have a lot for pets and understand how important they are to us as people. I’m looking to meet some new four legged friends and make an little extra income when I can. I have myself a 4 year old Male/Neutured Staffordshire Terrier and a 9 year old Golden/Rottwieler Mix. My Rotti doesn’t come on adventures but if you are looking for playdates, my Staffy loves making friends! My schedule is varied, I care for my human family, my own fur babies and reptiles, while working full time in Emergency Veterinary Care. I do work 12 hour shifts 3 nights a week. Caring for your companion would be an important part of my schedule and I am willing to commit to the very important responsibility of walking, feeding, and spending time with your pets. Paying attention to details on how the pet parent already does things and trying to maintain a similar routine in walks, commands, or activities. It reinforces any training already in place, avoids any confusion or frustration on the pets side, and builds a better relationship between myself and the pets to help reduce any anxiety that comes with a new person around.

Tatiana H.
“Tatiana took care of my 17 year old short hair part Siamese cat, with kidney failure, doing an outstanding job of keeping her on her prescription diet giving her treats by hand. She also helped to care for my 10 year old Boxer Pit Bull mix, quickly making friends with him although he is very shy. Tatiana was able to make instant friends with him and did an exemplary job of ensuring he was fed and given his heart worm medication. Thank you for the amazing care of my beloved fur babies.”
Ladera West pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover. I was nervous. No one other than my mom has house sit to take care of my dogs. I went to Italy for 2 weeks. Julie took care of my house and dogs during this time. I was very worried, but she assured me communicated with updates everyday and sent pics. I trust her and I will definitely use her again and refer her to my family and friends to house sit or take care of pets. I trust Julie with my house and pets. She is definitely a 5 star rating.
