1. Deliris D.

“Deliris was very communicative and accommodating with taking care of our cats; I never once worried about them in her care! She sends great pictures and very detailed updates. I recommend choosing her to sit your babies!”


2. Karollyne L.

“Provided pictures, brought my mail in (without asking), and overall took great care of my cat. Easy communication + flexibility with timing. Would recommend. :)”


3. Kayla W.

“Kayla was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats. Our cats are still acclimating to one another, and not only did she spend time with each of them but she did an amazing job at having them play together, listening to them if they had enough, and overall giving them many positive bonding experiences with each other. I also have a much more involved feeding routine/schedule for them than most people, and she followed everything perfectly. I always looked forward to her reports and pictures, and she was very thorough on her stay and how the cats were acting/feeling. I'm 100% sure they will miss her (especially Filo) and I will definitely call on Kayla again in the future!”


4. Qiutong L.
“Echo(Qiutong) was an incredible sitter for my pet, and I couldn’t recommend her more! She was attentive, reliable, and truly treated my pet as her own. Whether it was making sure my pet was fed on time, taking them on walks, or just giving them love and attention, Echo went above and beyond. I could tell my pet felt comfortable and happy in her care, which gave me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone responsible and caring, Echo is the perfect choice!”

9. David N.
About: I grew up with dogs, they were a big part of my childhood. I've learned to love them as family, care for them and make them feel at home. For me, interacting with dogs is not only a job but necessary. I'm a very active person so I'm ready to play and run all day at the park, beach or any public spaces with your dog. I live in an apartment but I'm located nearby parks and dog friendly spaces in the Santa Monica area. I love the outdoors but don't mind staying indoors and cozy. I'm mostly available during weekdays during the day, but I'm flexible to accommodate depending in the need. I am auditioning most of the week, so my schedule is both flexible and depends on the time of my auditions. I usually go for walks with the dogs and play with them, and their preferred toys. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend(s)!


10. Christine Y.
“Wow Christine made this experience super easy for us. It was the first time leaving our furbaby with someone else, so we were super hesitant to do this, but Christine did an exceptional job taking care of our little guy for 10 days. I’m happy to say I would confidently leave our little Charlie with Christine again. Not only was she attentive to our pup, but she was amazing at communicating with us at any time of day. It made us feel a lot more comfortable knowing Charlie was in her care. Thank you for this really positive experience. Hopefully we can have you care for little Charlie in the future. You’re awesome!”


11. Sienna T.

“The actual best. Was very communicative and always sent us pictures after every visit. Will definitely rebook if we are ever out of town again, the cats loved her!”


12. Whitney H.
“Whitney was great! Loved the pictures of our sweet girl. She looked happy. Will definitely use Whitney again.”


13. Irisdelie D.
“Irisdelie is amazing with her attention to detail when caring for your pet. She follows all instructions to a tee all the while making sure your pet feels the most love while you're away!”


14. Neide P.

“Neide continues to be reliable pet care. I was away for a week and she took good care of my cat, Bob. And plants too. Recommend her to anyone seeking good pet care.”




15. Hanna S.

“Hanna is a wonderful sitter and deserves the highest recommendation! She has done house visits for our two cats during two separate week long vacations and was very attentive and responsible. She proactively reached out to learn about our cats and showed a lot of affection for them during her visits. They were in very good hands. She was also flexible in terms of dates and number of visits per day. We have tried other sitters on Rover before with mixed results and are glad that we were able to hire Hanna!”


16. Edith C.
“Edith es una gran cuidadora, es muy cariñosa, cuidadosa y responsable, es muy puntual,y además las mascotas la adoran,y le tienen confianza, es muy tranquilizante dejar a mis mascotas con alguien en el que puedo confiar.”


17. Sasha M.


“My cat is typically very shy and standoffish with new people, so I was surprised with how quickly she took to Sasha! Sasha was fantastic with her and was very communicative with me throughout her visits. I would highly recommend her to anyone and we will be having her watch our cat again in the future!”


18. Jadyn G.
“Jadyn has demonstrated her devotion to pet care both as a dog mom herself, and as a dog sitter for friends and family over the years. She has a corgi, Clyde Waggins, aged 1.5 years. Since getting Clyde, I have seen nothing but unconditional love and consideration for him. She loves him more than anything else in this world, and he and his wagging tail feel the same towards her. When watching other dogs, she is patient with even the most energetic dogs that I have seen, and gives all animals the same affection that they deserve. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone who your pet will look forward to seeing, and who you can count on to care for your pet like one of their own”


19. Beyonce G.
About: I have pets of my own which i adore so i would love to spread my affection to yours too! I love all kind of pets! I was able to train my maltipoo puppy the commands: Sit, Paw, Up(stand on back paws), and “Tap your bell” (a bell in which if needs or wants something he will tap it to get my attention). I current work a full time job during the week, and attend online school full time, however I’m free in the night during the week (6pm-10pm) and I’m available all weekend to spend time with your furry children! I’m currently not offering at home care for the fur babies. However, i do offer other services, such as drop ins or/and walks to the park.
