“Boba and I adore Noemi. She is by far one of the best pet sitters out there, and our #1 choice. She’s extremely caring and attentive to Boba’s need—which says a lot because he is a special needs dog, follows instructions well, asks clarifying questions when she needs to, communicates regularly, and is overall a very pleasant, respectful, trustworthy person. I highly recommend Noemi.”
“Yessica as always is the best and so thoughtful with my pup. Even when there’s unexpected weather, she found a great way to tire my dog out and give him some enrichment. Simply the best!”
“Cody was wonderful! He followed all of our specific house-sitting and pet care instructions perfectly. We really appreciated how attentive and respectful he was of our home, and he sent regular updates and photos so we always felt at ease. Our dog was clearly happy and well cared for when we returned. Highly recommend Cody — we’d absolutely book him again!”
“I’ve been remiss at leaving a review as Michelle and Lisa have watched our doggos many times; house sitting and drop ins, for our two Labrador retrievers and sometimes also our golden retriever grandpuppy. They are both exceptional in their attentiveness and thoughtfulness and all our doggos love them. I couldn’t ask for anything more when my dogs are in their care. I appreciate them beyond measure. We’re so lucky we found them on Rover.”
“Lilit was wonderful. She was available at the last minute to housesit our dog, Molly. She easily befriended Molly, and made us all comfortable with her kindness and care. Molly had a great time, and we would highly recommend Lilit.”
“Bob is a truly dog whisperer and a dog lover! Peanut is very picky and can be really tough sometimes but they quite got a long pretty quick. Highly recommend! I will definitely rebook”

“I highly recommend Casey. This last stay got off to a rough start because my air conditioning broke down the day before I left. I had to scramble to make some changes because neither Casey or my dog (also named Casey) could stay in the house with no AC. Casey went over and beyond, arranging to be here for two different appointments to repair the AC and going to pick up my dog where he was temporarily being boarded. She sent me loads of photos and videos and made me feel very reassured that my dog and the house were well cared for. I will definitely book her, again.”
“I had Jacqueline stay with my baby Reggie over the weekend while I was out of town. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She really went above and beyond for Reggie with the questions she asked and long walks. Reggie also really seemed to like her and was comfortable. I also really trust her in my home while I’m gone. Highly recommend everyone book Jacqueline!”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life -- I grew up with dogs, have had two dogs as an adult, have fostered 10 or so dogs, and dogsit for friends all the time. I even have a god-dog. I love caring for cats as well, and snakes and other reptiles. I'm very intuitive with animals and will attune to your pet's needs fully. I take their inner worlds seriously and do as much as I can to give them fun, safety, and comfort. My work hours are flexible and mostly from home, so I can work around your pet's needs. I'm happy to provide drop-ins and walks mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m happy to play with your dog, provide treats and belly rubs, walks long or short, and crate them if you’d like. I'm now taking select boarding clients as well!
About: I’ve always shared my home with dogs, whether living with roommates and family who had pets or stepping in to pet-sit for friends. Even without having a dog of my own, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the unique bond they share with us 'two-legged animals.' I love their capacity for unconditional trust and pure affection—they really are the best companions. Whether I’m matching their high energy or enjoying a quiet moment of calm, I find so much joy in their presence Currently I am on sabbatical from my job and have time to spend with pets. I like taking dogs out for walks at the park, or just around the neighborhood. Unless some other life responsibility comes up, I am open to spend as much time as I would like with the fuzzy butts! I live in a small 8 unit apartment building in a very walkable neighborhood. I live very close to Griffith park and love to visit there with dogs. My apartment is a 2/2 and there are no limits to if a pet is on the furniture with me. I love to snuggle if they like to.
About: I grew up with two dogs and currently have a cat, so I have years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats. My dogs are still an important part of my life, and caring for them has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet's unique personality and needs. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you're away. 🐾 I'm a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, walks, and check ins while making sure pets receive the care and companionship they need. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care for every pet. 🐾 For drop in visits, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow each pet's routine by providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes or taking dogs out for potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention. I always respect your home's rules and make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before leaving. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer approach, I adapt to their needs to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾🐶🐱

Oakmont pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ruby was awesome with our two fur babies Noah and Miso. She came by to meet us all in advance and our pups took to her right away. She followed our outline for the day to a T and communicated with us throughout our trip and sent cute photos. She is very responsible and also has a very sweet demeanor that the dogs loved. My hubby and I highly recommmend her.
Julianna cared for my two schnauzers in my home for a week. I was so impressed by her care and attention to detail. My dogs can be yappy and excitable and Julianna’s kindness and calming presence enabled them to warm to her quickly. She played with my dogs regularly, provided them with love and attention and quickly became their favorite person! Julianna also thoughtfully inquired about my preference on the cadence of communication and provided me regular updates. This was the first time I had hired a housesitter for my pups, so it was very comforting to hear from her regularly. Further, my home is in an area populated by coyotes, and Julianna followed all of my safety instructions to keep my dogs safe from predators. Beyond the excellent care Julianna provided to my dogs, she also treated my home with incredible respect and left it in better condition than she found it. I trust Julianna with my dogs and my home and will book with her again. If you want someone warm, respectful, and professional you should book with her too. Thank you Julianna!!
We’ve been utilizing Jennifer to housesit and watch our dogs while we’re out of town for years! Between a high energy German Shepard and fragile old Chihuahua mix, she manages to provide for both with ease and lots of love and they seem so happy and at peace when we return. Shes a great communicator and keeps our house looking just like we left it. I highly recommend Jennifer for any and all ages, breeds, needs.
We are so lucky to have found Beta!! They were able to make a connection with our anxious pup right away and totally put us at ease. They were kind, communicative, and left our apartment in perfect condition. Through the pictures Beta sent, we could tell that our pup was well taken care of and happy. We look forward to working with Beta again and wholeheartedly recommend them!!
Lilit was wonderful with Mona! Mona was a little upset and moody at first because she missed me and didn’t expect Lilit to be the one returning after I had left for the weekend. But Lilit was communicative and was so patient with Mona and it ended up settling. Would book with Lilit again!
We can’t say enough good things about Alex! He spent the weekend taking care of our crew, including our paralyzed dog Laika who requires special care. Alex approached everything with such a positive attitude and a genuine willingness to learn. He was flexible when our return flight was delayed by several hours, which was a huge relief. He not only took wonderful care of our animals (who clearly loved having him around) but also went above and beyond in looking after our home, leaving it in better shape than when we left. The peace of mind we had knowing both our house and pets were in such capable hands was truly invaluable. We’re so grateful for Alex’s care and commitment, and we would 100% book with him again!
We went on an overseas trip without a care in the world thanks in large part to knowing that our two dogs and cat would be well taken care of. We arrived home to happy animals and a house as we left it. Marissa and Philipp are great housesitters and lovely people.
