“So lucky to have found Kathy through Rover, she was an exceptional sitter for our two dogs. Our boys are leash reactive so we are always a little anxious to leave them under just anyone’s care, but with Kathy we’ve never felt more at ease. Great communicator and responsive, would definitely book her again if we can!”

About: I’m the friend who always gets the "can you watch my dog?" call because I’ve been around pups of all shapes and sizes since I was five. That lifetime of experience means I’m just as comfortable keeping up with a rambunctious puppy as I am providing a calm, gentle environment for a sweet senior who needs a little extra patience. Pet care fits perfectly into my active lifestyle. My days already revolve around long walks and staying moving, so your pup becomes my dedicated plus-one for every adventure. My schedule is flexible, and when I’m with your pet, they are my main priority—I treat their routine with the same care and focus I give my own. I treat your home and your pet with the same respect I’d want for my own. Whether we're hanging out at my place or yours, I focus on creating a secure, "paws-on" environment where routines are followed strictly so your pet feels safe. I’m all about clear updates and total transparency, so you can relax knowing they’re in good, experienced hands.
“Morgan was amazing with Clyde this weekend! She was communicative, reliable, and clearly took great care of him. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands, and Clyde came back happy and well cared for. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”


“From the moment we met, it was clear how kind, attentive, and experienced Jared is with animals. I got regular updates, photos, and messages, which really reassured me that my dog was happy and well cared for. When I came back, my dog was relaxed and clearly had been treated with lots of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend Jared to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

“Elizabeth was great with Bo.She also made sure we had updates on how he was doing while we were away. We love having her take care of our boy if she’s available . We would recommend her to anyone needing dog sitting services !”

Communication is key to my service, and I keep clients updated with regular reports and photos, so you can feel connected and reassured that your dog is in good hands.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for over 10 years and have experience caring for cats as well. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, and providing daily companionship. Pets have always been a central part of my life, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine — I’m available full-time on weekdays, which means your pets will never be left alone for long. I have plenty of time to give them the attention, exercise, and love they deserve throughout the day. I create a calm, safe environment for every pet in my care. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, maintain consistent feeding and walk schedules, and provide regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s comfort and safety is always my top priority.
“日本人の方にお勧めのシッターさんです。She is the best house sitter you could ask for. We have two crazy giant cats who had been nightmares for the past sitters. I couldn’t enjoy my vacation without receiving continuous calls or texts from them complaining about them. This is my first vacation which I could relax thanks to Yoshiko. She communicated daily with pictures and videos. She left our house cleaner than we left it for her stay also. Both of our crazy cats looked happy to see us when we got home, but they also looked relaxed. We could tell they were well taken care of.”

“Sarah is a wonderful house sitter to both dogs and cats. She took care of our pets for 5 days and sent us pictures everyday of them having a great time. She even left us a bottle of champagne when we came back as we just got married. I highly recommend Sarah to watch your pets. My neighbors complimented her for her great service and attentiveness to my pets.”

“Ana was so so sweet! She did an amazing job taking care of our pup! She gave us frequent updates, asked in depth questions about him and his routine, and followed his schedule perfectly! She left him fulfilled and happy. Will for sure book with her again if I need a sitter for sure she was the best!!!”

About: Many of my friends have corgis, so I've spent plenty of time caring for these adorable, energetic little dogs and I've absolutely fallen in love with the breed! Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles on the couch, neighborhood walks, or simply having someone nearby, I'm happy to tailor care to their personality and routine. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work full-time during the week, but I work from home on Fridays, which gives me extra flexibility for walks, check-ins, and quality time with your dog. I understand how important it is to know your pet is getting attention, exercise, and companionship while you're away. Most recently, I cared for a friend's dog and home for an entire month while they were away. During that time, I maintained the dog's normal routine, took them on daily walks, brought them to the dog park and the beach, and made sure they received plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship.
“Jane was fantastic with watching our reactive pup for 3 nights, and was awesome at communicating throughout the stay! She even tidied up kitchen and restroom, which was much more than we asked for. Thank you so much, Jane!”


About: As a previous pet owner, I miss having a fur baby to tend to. I have decades of experience with dogs of varying breeds. My children are now college graduates and have no time commitments or obligations so house sitting suits my lifestyle perfectly. I only accept one family at a time so your pet/s will receive my undivided attention 24/7. As a full time homemaker, I have plenty of time to spend with the dogs. They are never left alone. I devote all of my time to them and I only board a couple of small dogs at a time so they receive very personalized care. I take the dog/s out for a walk or potty break every couple of hours, we may go to a nearby dog park that’s fenced in or go by the beach. I don’t mind cooking for the dog/s, beef or chicken and rice with vegetables is provided at times. Regarding safety- that’s always my top priority. When walking them; I always have them in a harness to keep them secure.
“Jingyling was absolutely amazing taking care of our senior pup. Our pup had some recent medical issues and she took excellent care of her. She gave us lots of updates and left the home tidy. Will use again.”

“Heather was so amazing with Milo while house sitting! Very reliable and communicative throughout the weekend. She took Milo to the dog park in our complex everyday to get his energy out and followed all our instructions carefully! Milo can’t wait to see her again :)”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and caring for them has always been something I truly enjoy. About a year ago, I got my Doberman, which motivated me to learn even more about dog behavior, training, exercise, and proper care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I love spending time with dogs, playing with them, keeping them active, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m familiar with feeding routines, basic obedience training, walks, playtime, and reading dog behavior/body language. My own dog is trained, and working with him has helped me become more patient, confident, and attentive with dogs in general. I understand how important it is for pet owners to trust the person caring for their dog, and I will always treat your pet with patience, love, and care like they’re my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and a lot of free time to dedicate to dogs. I spend most of my time with my Doberman, so daily walks, playtime, training, feeding routines, and giving dogs attention are already part of my everyday life. I’m available as early as 6am to 7pm if needed I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets in my home. I have a fenced yard for supervised playtime and exercise, and I also have a friendly Doberman who enjoys playing and socializing with other dogs. I always make sure pets feel comfortable and secure while in my care. I can follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and potty routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. If needed, I also have a crate available so your dog can have their own safe and quiet space to relax. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s routine and environment while providing attentive care, playtime, walks, fresh water, meals, and lots of attention and affection.
New Horizons pet parents share their Rover experiences
So lucky to have found Kathy through Rover, she was an exceptional sitter for our two dogs. Our boys are leash reactive so we are always a little anxious to leave them under just anyone’s care, but with Kathy we’ve never felt more at ease. Great communicator and responsive, would definitely book her again if we can!

She was amazing with my dog and very reliable throughout the entire time. She sends pics and provide updates. She arrived early and was pretty flexible . My dog really liked her, and it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

Elizabeth was the absolute best, this was my first trip leaving my pup at home and I was so nervous to leave her. Elizabeth sent regular updates as well as pictures and videos and made me feel so much better, I was actually able to enjoy my trip. Would 100/10 recommend to anyone!

Emilia took such wonderful care of our dog and two cats on a weekend we went away! I came home to happy pets and a home cleaner than I left it. It was clear they all had a great time with her, and her photos and updates were wonderful. We’ll definitely be rebooking in the future and would highly recommend!

Amelia is our go-to sitter for long trips! We recently just came back from a long trip to Japan and I knew that Boba was going to be well taken care of. Our cat even slept in the guest bed after Amelia left because he missed her! Thanks again Amelia for taking such good care of him.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how much She genuinely care about animals. She took the time to learn our dog’s routine, personality, and little quirks, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Throughout the stay, we received regular updates, photos, and messages, which made it easy to relax knowing our dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. It was obvious our dog was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and love. When we returned, everything was just as we left it, and our dog was calm, content, and clearly well taken care of. It’s such a relief to find someone we trust completely with our pet. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter—and we will definitely be booking with them again!

Heather was so amazing with Milo while house sitting! Very reliable and communicative throughout the weekend. She took Milo to the dog park in our complex everyday to get his energy out and followed all our instructions carefully! Milo can’t wait to see her again :)

Morgan was amazing with Clyde this weekend! She was communicative, reliable, and clearly took great care of him. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands, and Clyde came back happy and well cared for. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!

Dreama is absolutely amazing! I knew she was a good fit right away when one of my shy cats was begging her for attention before the meet and greet was even finished. All of the animals loved her, and she took excellent care of them while we were gone. She was attentive to all of their needs, and with 4 pets, that can be a lot! I received daily check ins, updates, and multiple photos while we were away, and she was very quick to communicate. She is very thoughtful, too. I wasnt worried about our pets the entirety of our trip because I knew they were in good hands. I cannot recommend her enough!

She took such good care for all of our pets and updates in detail everyday which is super helpful and relief so we could fully enjoy our trip. She is very responsible and respectful. She left our home cleaner than we left it. We plan on booking chloe again for our next trip. We highly recommend chloe for any pet sitting needs.
