“We have a very active 60 lb. dog who requires a daily hike. Tina took Hazel out for an hour each day, and when it proved too hot in the afternoon she switched to mornings. She followed all of our requests and Hazel really liked Tina. She (Tina, not Hazel) left the house clean and tidy. We have already made arrangements to hire Tina again. We recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our fur babies. I am truly at peace with them in your care. I can relax and enjoy my personal time knowing you are watching over them. Kerry and Finn are truly blessed to have you and so am I.”
“Kirsten is a godsend! She handled my 2 needy dogs and 4 cats without any problem! I felt totally relaxed knowing my babies were well taken care of ! I highly recommend her 😊”
“Jacqueline is a very soft-spoken and kind lady who took care of our Nutella at our home for a little over two days. Our cat was very well cared for and we received multiple daily photos showing her activity, making us feel very comfortable about having left our cat in Jacqueline's care. She also took very good care of the home. We are very happy with the help Jacqueline gave us in caring for our cat when we were away and will easily consider her for the next time we have a similar need !”
“If you are looking for the absolute best pet sitters and house sitters, look no further than Chelsea and Rich! We trust them implicitly with our four furry friends (two dogs and two cats) and our home whenever we leave town. Their genuine care and attention to detail provide us with unparalleled peace of mind. Knowing that our pets and home are in such capable and loving hands allows us to fully relax and enjoy our time away. Chelsea and Rich always send great pictures and updates, which keep us connected to our pets and reassure us that they are happy and well-cared for. We always return to a spotless house, and the delicious treats they leave in the fridge are such a thoughtful touch. We cannot say enough good things about Chelsea and Rich—they have become an invaluable part of our lives, and we are incredibly grateful for their exceptional service. Thank you, Chelsea and Rich, for always going above and beyond!”
About: I’ve had dogs around my whole life. From big labs and golden retrievers to a small cocker spaniel and bulldogs. It was a blessing to take care of them over the years. I’m currently a college student, I have a bunch of availability. On Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs: around 2 to 8pm. On fri-sun: open availability until 8. I will care for your pets in your home how you have as instructed perfectly. I believe routines are very important for our fur babies!
“Can’t say enough good things about Sarah! Loved her interaction with my fur babies, loved her desire to learn about my dogs and ask questions, love the pictures and communication….. and absolutely love her professionalism . I believe Sarah will succeed at anything she chooses to do because of her great work ethic. Will definitely use her again!”
“Lena was an amazing caregiver for our two dogs while we were out of the country on vacation. She fully demonstrated all the attributes of an exceptional dog sitter— responsible, caring, conscientious, communicative, and nurturing. We would not hesitate to hire her again to watch our dogs and are deeply appreciative of her wonderful care of Remy and Tucker and for also looking after our home while we were gone. Lena is a true gem!”
“I highly recommend Eduardo! He was very communicative and extremely kind to our older dog while we were away. He followed instructions well and kept us up to date on his activities with our pet. I'd book with him again without hesitation.”
About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for pets and homes for over 15 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, senior pets, medication administration, and multi-pet households. I’m excited to bring that experience to Rover and build lasting relationships with local pet families. (: FUN FACT: I have the same birthday as Caesar Milan, so I’m kinda like a dog whisperer 🤪 I’m a housewife with no pets or children of my own. I do theater every now and then but overall my schedule is wide open and ready to share the love and care necessary for your furry companion. I’m not sure why Rover says I don’t allow animals on the furniture. I don’t mind unless it’s a rule within your home to keep them down (: I will honor all of your wishes with caring for your loved one and treat them as if they were my own. I have a fenced backyard and safe neighborhood for walks. Your furry friends will be protected and their comfort is always going to be top priority whether in your home or mine. (:
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats and more, including two years at an animal clinic where I administered medications, handled feeding, cleaning, and made sure pets felt safe and comfortable. I’ve also worked as a dog pack walker, managed group walks, and provided pet sitting, house sitting, and drop-in visits. I understand animal behavior and take a calm, attentive approach—caring for pets isn’t just what I do, it’s my passion, and I treat every animal like my own. I am working full time, but available in the evenings or for walks and on the weekends I can do check ins and walks! I’m more than happy to take your baby on a short or a looong walk. In your home, I provide respectful, compassionate care while honoring your space and privacy. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things familiar and stress-free, and I treat your home with the same care and professionalism as I do your pets. I’m clean, reliable, and attentive, making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved while you’re away.
“Esther was fantastic with our cats! We were away for two weeks and left her in charge of our four cats, each with very specific care instructions. She was incredibly attentive to all our needs and followed every note closely. Her communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring throughout our trip. All of our cats were happy, comfortable, and well-cared for in her hands. My husband and I were truly able to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind knowing our pets were safe and content. We highly recommend Esther to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Lauren is phenomenal! She did an excellent job with our timid rescue dog. He immediately took to her. She was loving, playful, gentle and communicative. It was a relief to know our sweet boy was being so well loved while we enjoyed some time with the family. I would highly recommend Lauren, without any hesitation.”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I remember! I have had both large (double my weight as a child) and small dogs, I have fostered two kittens, and have enjoyed the company of several other smaller pets. I am a trustworthy caretaker that is comfortable around all pets, am willing to adapt and learn, and am grateful in advance for the opportunity to connect with your pets. I am also very active and can walk (or jog with) your pets for however long is suitable to their routine. When I come to care for your pet, I will ensure they have my full attention and care. I have my own dog at home (an Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, Maltese, Shih Tzu mix) that keeps my life exciting! I currently work part-time during my gap year, and have lots of free time to spend with your furry friends. I am also flexible and can accept last-minute bookings. I look forward to meeting your pets! I am currently working part-time before going to medical school, so I have lots of free time and am very flexible! Spending time with your animals would be the best pastime for me! I can follow your specific protocols to ensure your dog, your house, and your belongingd are all kept safe, comfortable, and happy! I also always maintain a stream of communication.
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care Kelsey provided for our two dogs during the overnight stay! From the moment we met, it was clear how kind, responsible, and experienced she is with animals. Our dogs felt comfortable around her! Throughout the night, Kelsey kept us updated with messages and adorable photos, giving us peace of mind. The dogs were clearly so well cared for! It’s such a relief to know we’ve found someone we can trust 100% with our fur babies. We highly, highly recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for a caring, professional, and attentive dog sitter. Truly outstanding, thank you again!”
“Jenn is an absolute ROCKSTAR that literally saved our family vacation! Our service animals travel with us as a family but their specific tasks, hotel policies, and Disneyland as an environment meant we were in need of last minute, emergent care. Jenn came through for us and exceeded our expectations, becoming like family! We wish she lived nearer to us, but Anaheim is lucky to have her. She took wonderful care of our boys as well as our suite, and went above and beyond. If you’re looking for the best… Jenn knocks it out of the park and you’ll be so glad you chose her! I know we are!”
“Juan was incredible with my dog, Nova. I was 3,000 miles away and he gave me the peace of mind I needed to enjoy myself on my trip. He was absolutely outstanding with being on time, giving updates often, and letting me know my dog was in good hands. Juan is my go to dog walker for any time I need someone to look after Nova.”

Dahlia is hands down the best pet sitter we've ever had. She house sat for our two dogs for a week and spoiled them rotten with walks, attention, and cuddles. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, and judging by the pictures, our dogs barely noticed we were gone! She went above and beyond by helping with a few household tasks we forgot about before our trip, and we came home to a spotless house and two very happy dogs. Our younger dog, Lucy, can be a handful at times, but Dahlia handled everything with patience and care. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She is officially our go-to sitter.
This was my first time Katrina to take care of my rescue. Marley is a special case and can be very skittish around new people. Marley opened right up to Katrina which just shows how great a job she did. I would absolutely recommend Katrina for anyone and will be reaching out to her for my next booking.
We have a very active 60 lb. dog who requires a daily hike. Tina took Hazel out for an hour each day, and when it proved too hot in the afternoon she switched to mornings. She followed all of our requests and Hazel really liked Tina. She (Tina, not Hazel) left the house clean and tidy. We have already made arrangements to hire Tina again. We recommend her wholeheartedly.
Jacqueline is a very soft-spoken and kind lady who took care of our Nutella at our home for a little over two days. Our cat was very well cared for and we received multiple daily photos showing her activity, making us feel very comfortable about having left our cat in Jacqueline's care. She also took very good care of the home. We are very happy with the help Jacqueline gave us in caring for our cat when we were away and will easily consider her for the next time we have a similar need !
I can’t wait enough kind words about Michelle’s. Our boy Rocco is already missing her and it’s only been one day. Her daily check-ins and photos were always wonderful and helped alleviate any stresses while we were away. I highly recommend her for anyone who is on the fence about finding someone who will treat their dog like their road and their house. Thank you, Michelle. Rocco can’t wait to see you again.
Lauren is phenomenal! She did an excellent job with our timid rescue dog. He immediately took to her. She was loving, playful, gentle and communicative. It was a relief to know our sweet boy was being so well loved while we enjoyed some time with the family. I would highly recommend Lauren, without any hesitation.
Brittney was amazing with our 11 week old puppy. I was so nervous about leaving him due to a work event, but was immediately set at ease with her calm personality and loving demeanor. I got updates and pictures regularly and was able to do what I needed to do for my job while knowing my puppy was safe and loved. Thank you!!!
Kelsey truly went above and beyond while watching my baby girl Lily! She had no issues with administering Lily’s medications and vitamins! She sent plenty of pictures and I booked her for overnights and she was very respectful of the space! She treated Lily just as her own and I would definitely have her again watching over my heart on four paws! Thank you Kelsey!
After I met Jada in a brief meet and greet, I noticed the dogs liked her. They seemed to listen to her. I felt comfortable with that. Then after the 2-day house, dog care days, dogs were well cared for and relaxed; the house was clean. Jada was punctual to our meetings or scheduled appointments. She is personable, articulate and reports recently graduating from college. I highly recommend her to any prospective pet parents.
