“Saemi came over a couple of times while I was out all day and made sure my two dogs were taken care of. They are completely opposite—one big and super excited, and one small and timid—and she was able to adapt to each of their needs at once. I have boarded with Saemi before and I know I can be away from my pets without worry when they are with her! Thanks Saemi!”
“Very pleased to have found Cathy and Andres on Rover! You can feel the genuine love they have for their four-legged charges. I felt safe and our pup got taken care of...perfect!”
“Robin was really great - excellent communicator, clearly very trustworthy, we have cats who need to be kept separate which means a lot of instructions and she followed to a T. Came home to everything tidy - would definitely work with her again!”
“Natalia was fantastic!! She did a perfect job caring for our cats while we were out of town, she’s very communicative and professional. My cats warmed up to her quickly and felt comfortable around her. I would 100% book Natalia again for future caretaking needs!”
“Jessica has been great checking in on and walking our dog Miso while we’re at work. He is very particular with people but warmed up to her right away. She’s been very responsive with updates. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Joy is amazing! She was prompt and followed instructions perfectly. I knew she had my Papaya's best interest top of mind. Her updates always made my day because I could tell he was very comfortable with her and he knew she was taking good care of her 😸”
“Shurovi did a great job taking care of my cat! I loved receiving photos at each check-in of my cat being pampered ❤️ She clearly loves cats, which put my mind at ease and allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation with no worries! Shurovi also kindly agreed to water my garden while I was away, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend her as a petsitter! Thank you Shurovi!”
About: What started as regularly pet sitting an incredible pup named Disco for my friend during work travel, has grown into a passion for pet care and community. I understand that training your dog is not only beneficial for the owner, but helps keep your pup safe too. Building trust and a strong relationship with your dog is an honor and there is no other love that can compare. Your dog is not just a pet, but a part of your family and they deserve to be treated as such. Just like with human kids, I would engage and talk with your pup on walks and trips because they would want you to! The more you genuinely interact with a dog, the more that dog will trust you. While I specialize in cats, I love dogs to pieces and the bigger the baby, the more hugs I can deliver! I currently work part time at a pet food store and am used to interacting with dogs all day. The more notice I have for visits and care, the better. Important!: I do not have a car and use an escooter to get around. If there is a place you'd prefer me park that scooter around your home, please include that info. I will not transport your animal on that scooter for safety reasons but am willing to walk to local parks and dog runs to exercise your animal. For emergencies I am willling to call a rideshare. If your cat is trained for harness/backpack trips, I am very willing to take them out! If your pup lives within a mile of a dog wash, I'm happy to bathe them for you. I understand that as a caregiver to animals, that person should respect that animal's boundaries. If a pup/cat wants to cuddle and play immediately, I will happily do so. If a dog is more cautious, I will do my best to earn the trust needed at that pup's own pace. I use positive reinforcement for training (and keeping up your own training) while gently discouraging unwanted behavior. I am patient and mindful especially for any dog/cat with disabilities. I am a quiet and low-key person which cats and shy dogs tend to appreciate but can also play and engage with high energy animals too!
“THANK YOU, Laura! Laura took wonderful care of our cat, Ada, during a heat wave. She dealt with a finicky keypad and ants with grace, and even brought Ada a toy all while being incredibly communicative and sending lots of pictures. We appreciate her care so much!”
“Ira was incredible while we were away for the holidays! It was our first time being away from our boys in our new home, so we were pretty nervous. Ira did a great job updating us and we are so grateful! We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
About: I bring calm, loving energy and real experience—caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs or medication routines. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to learn and adapt to each one. Whether it’s administering meds or helping a nervous pup feel safe on a walk, I show up with patience, joy, and attention to detail. Caring for animals is already part of my lifestyle! I’m active, love going on walks, and enjoy spending time outdoors—so adding a pup to the mix makes it even better. I keep a flexible schedule and can easily incorporate walks, drop-ins, or house visits into my routine throughout the week. I follow the pet’s usual routine to keep them feeling safe and relaxed. In a client’s home, I respect the space, follow instructions exactly (especially for feeding, meds, or behavior cues), and make sure your pet gets plenty of love and exercise. I keep communication open with updates and photos, so you always know your pet is in good hands.
About: I have two cats of my own and have regularly cared for others’ cats as well. I grew up with two dogs and often hosted my friend’s Labrador. I’m experienced, loving, and reliable with both cats and dogs of all ages. I’m a recent graduate who currently spends most of my time at home taking online courses and caring for my two cats. With a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals, I’m able to provide dependable and attentive pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I take time to bond with each pet, making sure they are fed, have clean water, get playtime, and receive any necessary medication or grooming. I’m calm, gentle, and respectful of both the pets and the home, and I always send photo updates so owners can have peace of mind.
About: I’m deeply tuned in to the emotional world of animals. I specialize in working with anxious dogs and free-roaming cats — the sensitive ones who need a little more understanding and space to feel safe. I don’t just care for pets; I connect with them. I take my time to sense what they need, respond to their cues, and create a calm, loving environment where they can be themselves. Whether it’s offering a grounding presence, a gentle touch, or simply giving them room to explore on their terms, I’m here to make sure your pet feels truly seen, respected, and cared for. I work part-time as a life coach, which gives me the flexibility and spaciousness to devote meaningful time to pet care. Being with animals is not just something I do — it’s something I learn from. I love continuing to grow my connection with them, tuning into their emotions, and creating safe, grounded spaces where they can relax and be themselves. My schedule is adaptable, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to provide consistent, loving care. I have a fenced balcony and private little space they can play. I can also crate if that is needed. I am adaptable and open to suggestions.
“Nataly was great and super flexible when my schedule changed. Pilot seemed super happy and content when I came home. She shared lovely photos with me while I was away so that I knew Pilot was well taken care of. I will definitely be booking with Nataly again.”

About: Hi, I’m Hadia (rhymes with Nadia). I’m a passionate and trained dog care giver for over a decade, and I’m an insured pet sitter/boarder. All dogs in my care have access to three outdoor fenced play areas, the largest being roughly 5,000 sq. ft., which houses the above ground doggie pool. Daily field trips that include shaded pack walks, visits to multiple local parks including the Rose Bowl, Jefferson, Lacy, Villa, etc., and pack trail hikes, when weather permits. Dogs are taken out every 2-4 hours for potty breaks, fresh air and to relax in the sunlight. Additionally, dogs have multiple sectioned areas within my house to roam and play. All areas provide dozens of plush toys & interactive toys for their mental stimulation & enjoyment. I train and care for dogs full time which allows me to work from home.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and human to two cats, I understand how important it is to have reliable, loving care for your pets. They’re family, and I’ll treat yours like my own.

I’m comfortable administering medication, following special routines, and I also have experience handling large dogs.

I have more availability on weekends and could schedule for almost any time. I will do anything it takes to earn your pet’s trust, especially cats’. I’m committed to making your pet feel comfortable with me so that I can give the best care possible. Let me know your pet’s likes, dislikes, and personality so they can get accustomed to me more easily. I can play and get their energy out or provide company.

Mid Central pet parents share their Rover experiences
Anita is amazing! Super professional and caring, and she goes above and beyond to make sure my cat is happy. She even sent me the cutest photos for every visit, which always brighten my day. My cat is usually very shy, but she’s managed to win him over, and now they get along so well. I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter - highly recommended!!
Saemi came over a couple of times while I was out all day and made sure my two dogs were taken care of. They are completely opposite—one big and super excited, and one small and timid—and she was able to adapt to each of their needs at once. I have boarded with Saemi before and I know I can be away from my pets without worry when they are with her! Thanks Saemi!
Grace is wonderful and I highly recommend her! She has been helpful with two last minute bookings and my dog loved spending time with her (the photos she sent showed how at ease he was). She was also patient when we ran into some issues with logistics. I appreciate her responsiveness, professionalism, and thoughtfulness. I would book with her again!
If I could leave Celeste a 10 star review I would! She’s such a kind and caring pet sitter, who will always do her best to make sure you’re totally comfortable leaving your pets in her care. I appreciate how attentive she is to all of my kitties. My cats love her so much! I’m able to go away and know my “kids” are in good hands and I can enjoy my getaway. One of the most important thing for me was her excellent communication with me on a daily basis even if we don’t touch base via text and sending me pictures of my kids. You will not regret hiring her as your pet sitter or as we told her you’re an important part of our family now. Thank you!
So thankful we found Yesenia to care for our cat who has a chronic infection requiring oral meds twice a day. She's not the most compliant cat, but Yesenia was patient and managed to get 4 pills and a liquid med down each day! Because of her, we didn't have to board our cat and cause more distress for her, and she was able to stay in her home environment ❤️ We were also able to enjoy our travel and not worry about her. Our shy guy also seemed to warm up to her 😊 Both of our cats looked great and were happy when we got back! Thank you, Yesenia!
