“Our dog Mochi had a great time with Alexis! Alexis was able to drop in to check on Mochi and took her for a walk. She looked really happy from the pictures we got! We would definitely use Alexis again :)”
“Veronica was absolutely stellar with Mays, our Australian Cattle Dog! She watched Mays for six days, visiting him 3-4 times each day as requested. She kept us informed of everything that went on via photos, walking map, and a lovely description of how her time with Mays went. She followed our instructions to the letter, and asked questions if she had any. Mays was so happy to stay home and have his visits with Veronica! We really appreciated her and would definitely use her again!”
About: Hello! I’m Olivia. I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with family dogs starting when I was in kindergarten. In the summer 2023, I adopted my own cat, which made me appreciate even more how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets. I work part-time and am a college student, however I can always make time for lovely animals! Even with a busier schedule, I am still able to: * Overnight pet and house sit * Walk your dogs * Daily drop-in visits/check-ins * Keep up with feeding routines and fresh water * Litter box cleaning and basic cleanup * Give lots of attention, playtime, and companionship I am willing to discuss and bargain on prices, and we can discuss my availability further as well! Don’t be shy to message and let me know what you’re looking for. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I try to make them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs patience, I’m happy to adapt to what they need. I also know how important communication is for pet parents, so I’m always happy to send updates and photos while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own!
“Melody and her mom were amazing! Professional and conscientious from our very first meeting. We came home to happy cats and a clean, litter free floor. Melody kept us updated with pictures and information about each visit every day. I'm rebooking her for our next trip right now!”
“Elena was very diligent, and all our three cats were left happy and fed :) She was communicating all the time, and we were left with complete confidence that our three furballs are in good hands.”
“Jen has watched our cats a couple of times now, and we trust her completely. Even for quick drop-in visits, she’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Each of our cats has a different personality, and Jen is attentive to all of them making sure everyone is fed, safe, and getting individual attention. We came home to relaxed, well cared for cats and a clean space, which says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
About: I've loved animals of all kinds since I was little! I have had turtles, tortoises, bunnies, a chinchilla, and Pascal, the love-of-my-life golden mutt. I was privileged to spend more than 15 amazing years with him and learned about all stages of dog life, including elderly/special needs care. I've also helped friends and family take care of their pets - mostly dogs - when they were away! I work full-time, but loving on animals is the best way to relieve stress at the end of the day and on weekends! I also have Mondays off to spoil your pet! Let me know how to keep your pet safe and happy! Favorite games, toys, treats, walking spots? Is he shy, social? Loves a butt rub? An active fetch sesh? A cozy cuddle? Look no further!
“I love working with Charlene, because she is professional, responsible and provides high quality service every time! Whether it’s one cat or seven, friendly or shy, low maintenance or requiring tricky daily medication - I can relax knowing that my furry companions will be well taken care of while I’m away. Thank you, Charlene!”
“Jiaji was a fantastic sitter for our two kittens (5-6 months old)! She is very communicative and thorough in her visits and care notes. She went above and beyond to give added care when the kittens needed a bit more attention and some medication application. She also took very good care of our home. Highly recommend!”
About: Dogs make my heart happy, and so do cats! :) I loved the times that I got to spend and care for my beloved Moki who went to heaven in Dec. 2023. I miss her every single day. I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor, which provides me with a flexible schedule to pursue my hobbies and interests. One of my passions in life is dogs. I volunteer with Pets in Need by participating in their Doggy Day Out program. Back in high school, I was voted Most Dependable, and I believe I still hold that title dear to heart whether it's with family, work, friends, and clients. I would do my best to make sure your furry best friend gets lots of pets, play, and potty breaks. :) My schedule is pretty flexible since I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor. I can easily block off dates so that I can be available. In the summer time, I also work as a summer camp art counselor. I have updated my schedule with the dates that I’m available. :) I know what it's like to have someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry best friend. I know that you can depend on me because I will love and care for your pet as if she/he's my own.
“Aixia is wonderful with our two cats- 9 and 10 years old. One of them is extremely shy and timid— and he was out greeting and playing with her so quickly we could hardly believe it! She took extra care in all the ways and sent such good photos and updates that we had complete peace of mind while away. Thank you so much for loving our babies the same as we do!”
“Melissa took the time to do a meet and greet with our pup in advance to get to know him (and us) which we really appreciated! She did a great job looking after our boy, her communication was great, and she sent us photos too! We will definitely hire Melissa again for walks and drop-ins in the future.”
About: Hello, my Name is Frida, I’m 22 years old and just recently moved here from Las Vegas! I have three pets of my own, a medium sized dog named Coco who is very nervous around other dogs and two cats named Luna and Mello, I love taking care of new animals and look forward to meeting your fur babies! I am just settling into California, I have a lot of extra time, I'd like to use it to do something I enjoy, like being around animals! I've been around pets my whole life, thankfully so, I know the things they like, the things they don't like, how to make them feel comfortable and safe, loved and cared for.
“Katherine took excellent care of my cats for approximately three weeks through drop-in visits. She is incredibly supportive, accommodating, and helpful. Her dedication to the pets is evident in her willingness to go above and beyond to resolve my litter robot sensor issues. Her exceptional skills are evident in her ability to perfectly fit the trash bags into the litter robot can. I highly recommend her services!”
“Myat was wonderful with our two cats! She is very caring, thorough during her visits, and made sure they were well looked after. We felt at ease knowing they were in such good hands, and would gladly have her watch them again.”
“Songcheng is a kind person who is reliable, trustworthy and detail oriented. He took excellent care of my cat and I am very glad to give him a strong, positive recommendation!”

Melody and her mom were amazing! Professional and conscientious from our very first meeting. We came home to happy cats and a clean, litter free floor. Melody kept us updated with pictures and information about each visit every day. I'm rebooking her for our next trip right now!
You are THE BEST, Aixia! The cats love you - and we love how good you are with them, how thoughtful you are with everything, and how generous you are with sharing photos and notes with us on your visits. Hearing from you is always a highlight of our days away from home. Thank you SO MUCH 🧡
Minjee was wonderful and provided excellent care to my two cats 😸😸 I really appreciated the detailed reports about daily activity and bowel movements, I was able to relax knowing Minjee was keeping a close eye on my beloved cats! Thank you very much Minjee 😸😻😸😻
Nicole has been absolutely amazing with my new shelter puppy. She helped make the transition into our home so much smoother and gave me real peace of mind during those first important days. She is extremely communicative and always provides thoughtful updates and helpful feedback. The pictures she sends are great and truly capture how happy my puppy is in her care. She is very trustworthy, dependable, and it clearly shows that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. She often goes above and beyond, which I truly appreciate. I will definitely be using her again in the future, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate care for their puppy.
This was my first time using Rover and after meet and greets, I chose RJ to come care for my dog, Wyatt. RJ’s communication and pet sitting care are superb. Wyatt is a special needs dog because of his elbow dysplasia, so he needs specific care. RJ followed my instructions and he asked relevant questions when in doubt. He took pictures and videos which gave me assurance that all was well while I was gone and that Wyatt was happy. I will definitely reschedule RJ to care for Wyatt again. Thank you, RJ!
Chloe has been an absolute life saver for my family and I with our 11mo old bernedoodle boy. She’s always quick to respond and always sends updates when with your pet. She’s picked up and dropped off our boy from my parents house and even picked him up when my mom had to change schedules. Highly recommend!
Brianna was outstanding to my pups! She stopped by to feed them when I was working late multiple nights. She played with them and gave them their food with no issues. She also fed our kitty! Brianna even brought in our packages when we weren't home, so kind of her! Highly recommend her for drop ins or stays with your animals.
We had an amazing experience with our Rover sitter while we were away for a week. She took wonderful care of our two cats, Rudy and Sebastian, and handled Rudy’s twice-daily medication with total confidence and care. What really stood out was her flexibility and reliability—when our return flights were unexpectedly canceled due to weather, she was able to add two short-notice visits without hesitation, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great throughout, and the photo updates were adorable—we loved getting such cute pictures of the cats while we were away. It was clear our cats were in excellent hands. We’re incredibly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
Myat took great care of our Kitties where we went abroad. Myat is extremely responsive. She will send regular updates and plenty of pictures to keep us updated. She will go above and beyond to take care of other other household things as needed. Would love to hire Myat again!
