“Courtney is so good with Sagan. He is not the easiest dog to handle around other dogs, but she is great at making sure Sagan is safe and well taken care of. I highly recommend her!”

“Kyle was invaluable by looking after our reptiles on short notice that we were able to have peace of mind while abroad without having to board then. We definitely would recommend them and look forward to working with them again in the future.”


“That’s a lovely sentiment! Here’s a polished version if you’d like to share it as a review or thank-you note: Vicky took such wonderful care of our pets—you can truly tell she loves animals. Her kindness and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind.”

“We've rebooked Priscilla, and couldn't be more thrilled to have done so... we know our two kitties were happy to see her in November and December! She's so good with them, especially with Reina who needs insulin shots twice daily. Her attention to details, compassionate nature towards them and consistent information about them are all reasons we will continue to book Priscilla in the future.”
About: I’ve loved cats and dogs my entire life, which shaped my love for caring for animals. Now, I have two cats of my own who mean the world to me. I’ve also become the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family, caring for their pets whenever they’re away—something I truly enjoy and take seriously. Through my experience, I’ve worked with all kinds of personalities—from shy and timid to feisty and playful to super friendly and affectionate. I’m very patient and attentive, especially with pets who need a little extra time to feel comfortable. I also have experience giving medication, so you can feel confident your pet will be in safe and capable hands. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that’s cuddling up for quiet affection or engaging in fun playtime to keep them happy and stimulated. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m able to be reliable with timing and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need. For house sitting, I can comfortably work from your home as long as there’s WiFi and a space to set up, which means I can spend more quality time with your pet rather than just stopping by. This also allows me to maintain their routine and provide a calm, consistent presence while you’re away. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority in my schedule to ensure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I adjust my care based on each pet and the service. In a client’s home, I stick to their normal routine—feeding, fresh water, litter box, playtime, and any medications if needed. I try to keep things consistent so pets stay comfortable. For drop-in visits, I make sure their basic needs are met and spend time with them based on their personality, whether that’s play or just keeping them company. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, calm space and follow all instructions closely. I also send updates so owners know how their pet is doing.
“Day was fantastic!! Really wonderful, empathetic care & attention to detail for our kitties. We were traveling for 10 days and felt at ease knowing we were in good hands. Great communication and appreciated pictures from each visit. We will definitely be booking again for all future travel!”

“Lijuan is a top notch pet sitter. She is attentive, detail-oriented, and communicative. You can tell that she truly loves and cares for all animals. She came over to our house before our trip to meet our cats and discuss their feeding process and entry into our space. She went above and beyond in taking care of them, including tidying up. We will definitely be booking her again. Thank you, Lijuan!!!”

“Shelby took wonderful and thoughtful care of my cat! I came home to a happy kitty and clean litter box! Shelby was excellent and I’d be thrilled to have her again! My cat loves her!”

About: I am a life long dog momma with over 12 years of professional experience working as a dog walker, sitter, and as an assistant to three dog trainers and an animal behaviorist. During this time, I’ve cared for animals of all ages, sizes, ailments and temperaments. From puppy probs to working dogs, seniors to super seniors, I have the skill, patience, and years of experience to handle it all. In addition to my professional experience, I also have the personal experience of caring for my own pups from puppy years to senior years, as well as those of my partner, friends and family members, from administering medications to doggy physical therapy and everything in between. I know how nerve wracking it can be finding someone to trust with your babies— that’s why I promise to always treat your furry family members as my own, prioritizing their comfort, safety, and happiness above all else. With me, your pets will be in the most capable hands. Studying and pet care is my full time job! My availability is roughly Monday-Friday 8am-5pm, depending on what spots may be filled. Just send me a message and let’s find a time that works for you! I have extensive experience working with every age group from puppies to seniors, large and small, trained and untrained, dog-friendly and not-so-dog-friendly, animals with disabilities, and can accommodate medications and feedings as well. And I am more than happy to accommodate any other requests! I also have experience with cats, birds, lizards, fish, horses, alpacas, you name it!
“Mari is such a pleasant person to be around. She understood exactly what it takes to care for an older cat with health conditions like our Ziggy. I really appreciated the level of enthusiasm, attentiveness, and experience she brought, even with a long list of medications and feeding instructions. It’s clear that she genuinely cares deeply about both the animals and the people who love them.”

“Stephanie was great! She took the time to do a pre-meet up with me several days beforehand so she could meet Simon and learn about his schedule and needs. The day of she was prompt and sent me updates during Simon's time with her, including a cute photo. I felt very confident that Stephanie gave Simon great care and I plan to work with her again in the future.”


“It was such a relief to have Chelsea stopping in on our cat Murphy! Chelsea was able to administer a pill orally and gave us such peace of mind. Murphy was calm and happy with her check ins. She’s on top of details- gave us a heads up when Murphy came down with a little sneezing our last day away. Very very happy to have met Chelsea and looking forward to Murphy being well looked after for future stays!”

About: I have grown up with a beautiful goldendoodle who lives with my parents. I also have professional experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I love animals so much and they give me so much joy and peace. I am a gentle and caring person who you can trust with your babies. When my old roommate in Boston left for business school, she left her cat with me for a year because she knew how much we were bonded and she trusted me to take care of her baby boy. So I also have experience with cats! I would professionally pet sit for my neighbors when they were out of town and would gladly provide a reference. I have been a sitter on rover for 6 years now and love it. I now have a 2 year old mini goldendoodle who lives with me and she is my princess! She loves playing with other pups! Will take your pups on hikes at Griffith Park I am currently working from home so am available all days of the week for boarding and daycare! Pets will have attention my full attention and get lots of snuggles! I live in a beautiful home in Pasadena with a fenced in yard and plenty of space! Beautiful garden and plenty of room to run around.

“Amazing! Was able to book with her the same day since I was going on a last minute trip, and she was very punctual and professional. My cats’ litter boxes were clean, and there was plenty of food and water left when I got home. The cats also seemed to like her! Would book again!”


“Paul has an innate way with dogs. After meeting our dog, Paul quickly assessed his special needs and some easy tips for how to train him. We love Paul and would highly recommend him to others.”

“We are so glad we found Amber to care for our 85 lb fearful rescue pup, he needs a couple of meetings to get comfortable with new people and Amber is very patient with him! He is glad to see Amber when she comes to care for him, she helps him play his favorite training games and her communication with us about any questions or updates is top-notch! We are looking forward to many visits from Amber for our dog while we're away.”

Mari is such a pleasant person to be around. She understood exactly what it takes to care for an older cat with health conditions like our Ziggy. I really appreciated the level of enthusiasm, attentiveness, and experience she brought, even with a long list of medications and feeding instructions. It’s clear that she genuinely cares deeply about both the animals and the people who love them.

We feel so lucky that Camille was able to watch our three kitties again! She is communicative and clearly has so much love for our babies. We appreciate her detailed updated, photos, and videos. I hate being away from my babies but feel so much better knowing Camille is watching them!! Highly recommend.

I made sure to Book Dean a few months before my scheduled vacation because Dean is hands-down, without a doubt the best cat sitter. I’ve had many cat sitters in the past and they were all very kind and I felt that my cats were safe with them but it’s different with Dean. When we come home after a long vacation, my cats feel different if they have been watched by Dean. We can tell that they were not only safe and well fed, but they felt loved. Dean brings over handmade cat toys and special treats and engages with them the entire time. We can tell just by the photos how much our cats love Dean. I’m generally a nervous person when it comes to my cats because they are my babies and when we get Rover cards from any other Rover, I immediately have nerves thinking “what if something went wrong”. With Dean, my husband and I have general excitement when we get the Rover card. We are always so excited to see what they have been up to. It’s such a blessing when you know your pets are safe with someone but it’s beyond wonderful when you know they feel loved.
