“I'm a person with really high standards and I was impressed with Emilie. She can be quiet and a little shy at first, but ultimately is incredibly communicative. She cares a lot about getting the details right and I truly appreciated how much it mattered to her to understand our directions as clearly as possible. She's the kind of person that is observant to the nuances of animals. And our cats took to her right away! I would undoubtedly hire her again. She's a gem.”

“Lori was absolutely fantastic. Did a great job caring to for our Chompy. He immediately fell in love with her. We left town for a wedding and Lori kept us updated through out our time away. Will definitely book Lori again to care for Chompy!”


“I'm delighted to share that Katherine provided outstanding care for our whippet, Finn. Her commitment was evident as she went above and beyond, even staying overtime to ensure Finn's well-being until we returned. We greatly appreciate her dedication and highly recommend her as a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“Amanda was a great, communicative, thoughtful sitter for my 18 month old pup! Went out of her way to offer to apply my guy's nightly ear drops, sent me photos of him looking happy and playful. Thanks Amanda!”

About: I'm fortunate to have cared for animals since childhood and find true joy in treating others pets as my own. Family, friends and neighbors have relied on my consistency, responsibility and compassion when they need someone to look after their babies. I am very comfortable with multiple animals, senior care and challenging personalities. I am able to remain calm in chaos and understand the importance of communication. My three-year old German Shepherd mix, Pharaoh, keeps me on my toes and engaged with the latest in pet parent world! Currently in between jobs which allows me to be flexible depending on the needs of the client and their pets. While I do have my own boy dog, Pharaoh, our routine can be adjusted without issue. I will follow the exact instructions needed and am very communicative in terms of sending photos, videos and ensuring there are no disruptions to a pets routine. I have a deep understanding of how important consistency is to building trust with an animal and will do everything required to make sure both the client and their baby feel safe and at peace.
“Gabriana was amazing. Our pets took to her so quickly, including our highly anxious dog! She’s a pet whisperer. We also returned to a clean and organized house. Highly recommend her!”


“Alexandrea took great care of our dogs and sent us photos regularly. She stayed at our house and left it nice and clean. She is very friendly and communicative. Thanks Alexandrea!”

“Kim was such a great sitter for my 18 month old rowdy mixed terrier pup! She was kind, punctual, professional, sent me lots of detailed updates and pics. I felt totally relaxed leaving my guy in her care while I had to be away for the weekend. Will book again. Thanks Kim!”

“Avery took excellent care of Greta while I was away. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos and videos to me! The house was exceptionally clean when I returned. I would love to have Avery keep Greta again in the future!”

“I absolutely recommend Avi! He took such good care of my two senior dogs while I was out of the country and kept in contact with photos along the way. I would definitely book him again!!”

“Abby stayed with Wendell, our high anxiety pup (actually an 11 yo dog), for a week. He was comfortable with her & did not have any anxious moments. She was able to help him feel calm while we were away. We appreciate her help & will definitely ask for her again.”


“Courtney was great with our doggos! She was really responsive and sent us pictures/updates to let us know how they were doing. We really appreciated her help since it was very short notice and would definitely have her sit for us again.”

“Jehiny did a great job at watching our baby girl Boxer. She sent updates and pictures which made us really happy. Boxers are very active and she managed her well. She’s 7 months old and loves attention. Jehiny ensured to give us an update upon our arrival and you could tell our baby girl had a great time. She was wagging her tail and looked very comfortable.”

“We had Don watch our 3 year old dog for 3 nights and 4 days. He was absolutely the perfect sitter. He arrived at 5:30AM so we could have our dog be with him while we headed to the airport to relieve any anxiety and stayed until 7:00PM so we could get back not too late with our dog being alone. Don was very kind, sweet, and attentive towards our dog. He asked for a detailed item list for his stay, he sent us a ton of photos and videos without us having to always ask, and reached out to help clean up sheets, vacuum, take the trash out before his stay ended. You can tell he has a passion for dogs and truly enjoys spending time with them. I would highly recommend Don if you are looking to enjoy your vacation or time away and want to feel like you can trust someone to make your dog happy. We look forward to hiring him again next time we are out of town. He will be our first choice in sitters moving forward.”

“Naomi is amazing! My pets absolutely adored her and she left our place spotless. She was patient despite issues with parking and a leak while we were gone! Your fur babies will be in amazing hands. I would book Naomi again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend.”

“Matthew was so amazing and sweet with Hammer and Violet! He sent daily photos and updates while we were away. We felt extremely comfortable having him in our home and he took excellent care of our pups. Thank you Matt!”
“William went above and beyond taking care of Hazel while we were out of the country for a week. He kept us posted with regular updates and followed our instructions to a T. Hazel is a relatively high-maintenance dog and William followed our instructions carefully during his time with her. He took her on neighborhood hikes to keep her active and sent us daily pics to keep us at ease that she was being well taken care of. Responsible and reliable, I highly recommend William for dog sitting / house sitting.”

Montecito Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Patrick stayed with our dog and cats for about a week and we've never felt so at ease on a trip knowing they were with him. He was always checking in and sending us photos and you can tell he truly enjoys spending time with animals and cares for them. It was also our dog's birthday and he made sure she got a special walk and treats which was very sweet! Thank you so much again Patrick!!!

Wow! Cannot recommend Hilary enough. She housesat our pup for several days on short notice, even extending her stay when our plans changed last-minute. She communicated clearly throughout the trip, and even left our place cleaner than she found it. Will 100% be rebooking Hilary in the future, and our pup, Brock, wholeheartedly agrees! Brock is an anxious boy but took a liking to Hilary immediately If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your pet in your home, you cannot go wrong with Hilary!

Just came back to a very happy dog and clean home! Corrine/Thorn was a wonderful communicator and took care of Fred excellently (including an outing to a dogs birthday party that Fred loved). We’d be thrilled to have them watch Fred and stay in our home anytime!

Liency was amazing with my 2 dogs and cat. My dogs are a bit temper-mental and she’s been so professional in how she handles them. She updated me 2x a day with photos and reassurance that they were doing great. Additionally one if my dogs has to take meds and get eye drops throughout the day and liency was a pro handling that. Thanks so much, will definitely book again!

JAMIE IS THE BEST ROVER I HAVE EVER HAD!!! I’ve had my cat for ten years, and have used rover many times. But Jamie? She’s different. My cat is very particular, high needs sweet boy who needs meds three times a day. He is very attached to me, and leaving him is difficult for both of us. But the moment he met Jamie? He was smitten. She sent me a video of him purring next time her. Genuinely? He’s in love. Jamie was communicative, kind, and so very good to my boy. She is now our go-to sitter. Best rover I have ever had!!!

Súper professional and accommodating. Needed a sitter last minute for Mother’s Day and Josh went above and beyond. Very good about communicating updates. Handled giving my dog Vida her pill. & just all around a kind and caring guy! Definitely will book with him again.

I am so happy that I had Liana care for my dog Sparky. Sparky is a geriatric special needs dog that needs medication for heart disease 6 times a day. He also has degenerative disc disease so needs help going up steps and lifting him. Liana was tender and lovingly caring for Sparky, knew where he was all the time he was in her care. I highly recommend her without any reservations. I was totally at ease knowing Liana was cring for Sparky.

William went above and beyond taking care of Hazel while we were out of the country for a week. He kept us posted with regular updates and followed our instructions to a T. Hazel is a relatively high-maintenance dog and William followed our instructions carefully during his time with her. He took her on neighborhood hikes to keep her active and sent us daily pics to keep us at ease that she was being well taken care of. Responsible and reliable, I highly recommend William for dog sitting / house sitting.

Jana was amazing!!! We were panicking because Ollie started having an upset stomach the night before she started watching him, but she handled it so well, helped us talk to our vet, and even made him rice to help with his stomach. She kept us updated and he felt better after a couple of days. We’re so grateful for her taking such good care of him. She also kept the house clean, which we really appreciate! Thank you so much!! 🩷
