“Lindsey and Jose were amazing! I can't thank them enough for the way they took extra special care of our dogs. Their patience, communication, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond were impressive. We are so grateful and appreciative of them. Being away from my dogs caused me anxiety; Lindsey absolutely took the time to make me feel at ease and provided a ton of updates and pictures. We are excited to have people we can trust with our dogs moving forward and look forward to booking them again....thanks Lindsey and Jose!!!”

“Jamilla was a wonderful sitter to our three cats! She is very polite and kind. Always made us feel like our babies were well taken care of! We will be reaching out for Jamilla to watch our cats in the future :)”

“I loved Kiah! Very professional. She sent me a detailed update of how my cat was doing during each of her visits with many pictures to go along with it while I was on my out-of-state vacation. I asked her to bring in mail while I was gone and she gladly did that for me as well! My Nola seemed so happy when she was around and I would definitely rebook with her when I’m not in town again.”

“Mandy was so great! We loved the pic updates. It was our first time using rover and the updates gave us reassurance that our fur babies were in good hands and being taken care of. We were so grateful tht she was able to extend our booking and allow us to enjoy a couple more days on a much needed vacation ! Would def recommend and rebook in the future. Thanks again Mandy !”

“Jaslyn is amazing! I wish I had found her sooner. She was great with our fur baby. Shared lots of pics of her, let her swim, played ball outside. We will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!”


About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life and currently have three dogs of my own. I am responsible for their daily care, including feeding, walking, bathing, exercise, and making sure they feel loved and comfortable. Through caring for my pets, I have learned patience, responsibility, and how to understand different animal personalities and needs. I have also experienced the loss of a beloved dog, which taught me how important pets are as members of the family. I will care for your pets with the same love and dedication I give my own. As a student on summer break, I have open availability and can provide care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they deserve. I am committed to following each pet's routine and ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves individualized care. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and cared for. I treat every animal as if they were my own family member.
“Sarah was the best cat sitter I think I have ever used. She really seemed like she cared about my Kitty, spending extra time with him and he loved it! She even brought a toy that he is obsessed with! It gave me great comfort to know my little guy was in such caring and experienced hands.”

“Victoria has been dropping in on my 2 girls for the past few weeks and things have been going great so far. Thankful we found her to help us during one of our babies puppy stage.”

“Jordan took amazing care of my dogs after I asked her at the last minute. She was responsive, followed all of my instructions, and sent lots of updates and pictures. I highly recommend her and would definitely ask her to take care of my pets again.”

About: First time booking on rover? Use my code to save $20! KENDRR12795 Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. My journey started with my first pet, Frenchie, a toy poodle, followed by my family’s German Shepherd, Snoopy, and now I’m the proud dog mom to Jazmine, my adorable mini Dachshund and certified cutie patootie! I’m the go to pet sitter for friends and family, whether that means house sitting so pups can stay comfy in their own home, taking long walks, or hosting playdates to help burn off extra energy. Since I work from home, your fur baby will get plenty of attention throughout the day. Jazmine's and my daily routine includes regular walks, outdoor time to keep up with neighborhood happenings, and a few fun dance breaks (yes, really!). I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, so I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal schedule to make their stay as stress free as possible. When you book with me, I promise to care for your dog as if they were my own, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and videos along the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! Pet care is already a seamless part of my daily routine. Since I work from home, I’m able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day rather than limiting care to mornings and evenings. During work hours, pups are typically with me in my home office or relaxing on the veranda, so they’re never left alone for long periods. Weekend care is just as flexible, allowing time for longer walks, playdates, and extra enrichment as needed. My day naturally includes regular walks, outdoor time to explore and stay engaged with the neighborhood, and interactive play (plus a few fun dance breaks!). I’m very mindful of maintaining each dog’s established routine, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any special care instructions, to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. With a fenced-in yard and a friendly resident pup, dogs in my care get both companionship and a safe space to play. As an avid Rover user myself, I know how important it is to feel comfortable with your sitter and their home. I’d love to set up a meet and greet to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone.
About: I have cared for many animals over the past 18 years while managing a pet resort. I have also walked dogs during my lunch hour.

My dogs are dog friendly and go to daycare often and play.
“I cannot l say enough good things about what a fantastic pet sitter Allison is! She took excellent care of our feline fur kids while we were on vacation and went above and beyond in getting to know them, giving them special attention and making sure their environment was clean and happy. She sent delightful daily updates with lots of pictures, which we loved! We will ABSOLUTELY book her again next time we travel!”


“We have used Cheyanne a few times and she has been amazing every time. She sends us pictures and updates and does a great job taking care of our pup while we’re away. We will definitely continue to hire her in the future!”

“Kenneth gave my pup plenty of love, cleaned up after an unfortunate accident (Puppyhood! Gotta love it), and sent lots of cute photos to make us feel comfortable. He took great care of her during his multiple visits today and he shows great care and love for other’s animals!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.
Ortega Forest pet parents share their Rover experiences
This turned out to be the best service ever. Erika was amazing and I hope she'll become a regular for Scout. I unintentionally became the sole responsible human to a neighbors cat. I believe she's now needing a permanent home. I hadn't planned for this as we are retired and plan to travel. Finally true empty nesters. We kept Scout inside for our first trip with no clue how she'd do, but daily visits were perfect. We have decided to keep Scout. ☺️

This is the second time we’ve booked Pam to take care of our animals and she is wonderful. She even changed our cats’ litter box for us! She’s truly a reliable sitter and very communicative. Pam is the best and will make sure your fur babies are taken care of!
