Angela is very reliable and trustworthy. She really put my mind at ease when I have to leave my babies for days, especially one of them is pretty ill. I feel grateful and lucky to have Angela to look after my cats. Thank you!

I got lucky when I found Lauren. She definitely understands and is very knowledgeable about cats. She took amazing care of my cats. She sent me updates daily and even took a picture of one of my cats. In addition, she brought in my trash cans which I left out before leaving for my trip. If you're looking for someone who knows a lot about cats, takes very good care of your cat(s) and provides daily updates, I highly recommend Lauren. She is very good, reliable, and trustoworthy. I won't hesitate to use Lauren again in the future.

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life and have 2 dogs that are 7 and 8 years old. I have never had any issues with any pets and would love to take care of anyone else's. I can care for any age of dogs or cats and if you have any specific requirements or requests just let me know ahead of time. Your pets will be in very capable and loving hands, and hopefully have an excellent time with me. I look forward to taking care of your fur babies :) I work from home and I'm self employed. I make my own hours and have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my routine. Let me know if you have any restrictions on what your fur babies can do or where they can go so I can provide them with the best care.

Matt did a wonderful job watching our elderly kitty Felipe! His check-in’s were always extremely thorough with lots of pictures of our girl! He was always on time to check on her and did a great job giving Felipe her probiotic every night. He even went the extra mile as to sit and stay with her when she wasn’t feeling too social to make sure her food settled alright, which meant the world to us because our baby has a sensitive tummy. When she did have a tummy issue and threw up, Matt was sure to notify us immediately and clean up throughly. Felipe is very wary of new people usually, but she warmed up to Matt straight away, which is a testament to how great of a human he is!

About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals. I’m an animal lover and have taken care of lambs, cats, bunnies, chickens, and of course my favorite, dogs! I’m a student at Chapman University with classes from Monday-Thursday. This makes me free to take care and play with your dog(s) from Thursday night-Sunday night!! My apartment community is gated, enclosed, and animal friendly with a park, grassy areas, and animal-friendly neighbors. My apartment is also relatively open and spacious with living room space for playing!

On a scale of 1 to 10, Judy was a 12. Judy is very friendly and loves all pets. I was afraid my dogs would love her more than me when I go home from a week on vacation. Pictures were sent every visit showing how the dogs were doing. I would highly recommend Judy for watching your pets. Yes I will use her service again.

Tala is exactly what you want to find on Rover! Responsible, respectful and communicative. Took wonderful care of my cat, my home and my peace of mind while I was away! Extremely thorough with twice daily drop in updates, including adorable pictures, but most importantly confirming that she was flawlessly executing the instructions I had left. I will rebook with her every time, and genuinely believe my cat is looking forward to me leaving so he can spend more time with his new bestie! 😻🙏🏻🤩

About: Hi, I’m a student looking to dog sit in my free time. My Golden doodle is literally my best friend! I simply love dogs more than anything. I walk my dog daily, and make sure he’s well taken care of (even spoiled) all day. Feeding, brushing him and giving him his treats :) I have a one bedroom apartment. There are no children or other possible disturbances, it’s very peaceful. Calm environment suited to you and your pup’s needs.

Karen is an outstanding pet caregiver! She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure pets are not only cared for but genuinely happy. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with her, knowing he was getting plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. Karen’s communication was great, providing updates and photos throughout the stay. It's clear she has a natural connection with animals and treats them as if they were her own. I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a responsible, trustworthy, and loving pet sitter!
