“There are so many wonderful things to say about Verona! She's truly one of the kindest people I have ever met. She cared for my 3 kitties Dom, Coop and Theo with love that I would give them! Her updates were always thorough and she was always on time and followed instructions perfectly! From the moment I met her I knew I didn't have to worry about being gone, I will DEFINITELY be booking with her again in the future! Don't think twice, book with Verona you and your pets will be so happy!!”
“Suzy was amazing with taking care of our cat, Sparky, as well as keeping and eye on our snake, Lychee, while we were traveling abroad! She sent very thoughtful updates and pictures that brightened our day when we were missing them. Would definitely have her pet sit again in the future!!”
About: Hello! My name is Bella, and I have quite a bit of experience under my belt. I have four dogs ranging from petite to large, (7lbs - 60lbs) and have grown up surrounded by these furry friends. Beginning at just 6 years old, I have been helping with the care of my fluffy siblings. I have first hand experience with the puppy stage all the way up to the senior vet appointments, and one of my dogs (Boxer mix) is still considered a young adult at just 4 years old. I have no problem sleeping over to keep your pet comfortable, and I can take them on lengthy walks too! If there’s one thing I’ve learned from these guys it’s that no matter the age, if a pet is loved the right way they will never lose their spark. I am currently unemployed, and a full-time college student, so I have plenty of time in the afternoons (after classes) to help out with your pets! I am fully capable of crating your dog if requested, and will keep a sharp eye on your baby at all times, on or off the leash. A clean water bowl is essential, and extra pets for being so good.
“Jeanine did a great job taking care of our two kitties. One of our cats is timid around new people and he warmed up to Jeanine after her first visit. She was very responsive and provided great daily updates and pictures and videos so we could see how our fur kiddos were doing. This was our first time using Jeanine or anyone through Rover and we will definitely be using her again!”
“We were asked away on last minute work trips, Nadya answered our response promptly and within an hour we had the peace of mind that our cat would be taken care of. Although it was just one drop in visit, it was comforting to know that Nadya took great care of our cat.”
“Steph did an incredible job checking in on my cats. I've only had them a short while, so in some ways, I wasn't able to advise in advance. She quickly figured out my cat's preferences and made sure they both got attention. All of their basic needs were met, and I came back to litter boxes that had obviously been taken care of. I look forward to using her in the future.”
“Maria did drop-in visits for our 5 y.o. cat while we were away for a couple weeks, and she was wonderful! She tended to all of our precious girl’s needs (and she can be very needy), and kept her happy and active while we were out. I’d highly recommend Maria for cat-sitting needs.”
“Kelcy was a god send. I loved that she wanted to meet myself and my cat, Twilight, before us booking especially since it was my first time using Rover. Twilight loved her immediately, so I felt comfortable leaving Twilight with her. Kelcy followed all of my instructions and went above and beyond. She sent me pictures every time she visited, gave me the whole run down of exactly how Twilight was doing, what they did together, etc. I didn’t have to worry at all, which is saying a lot considering I’m totally a helicopter cat mom. Between being very communicative, so caring and understanding, and so helpful, I honestly don’t think I could’ve chosen someone better to look after my baby while we were away. I’ll definitely be calling Kelcy to look after Twilight and my home in the future!”
About: I have had a family pet ever since I was in middle school starting with a dog. In high school our family added a cat. Now that I have my own family, we have a dog (Miso), a cat (Chad) and chickens (Nugget, Eunice, Orange, Pie) Currently, I am available to check in on your pets and play with them. I can also take your dog on a walk or run if needed. Give me instructions and I will follow them. I will respect your pets and your home. Just let me know what you need and I'm there to help!
About: I have many years of experience with all kinds of animals! Friends often ask me, as their go-to, for pet sitting. Multiple dogs at once, dogs and cats together in the same house, etc. I am currently a weekly dog sitter and walker for my best friend for over a year now! I received a liver transplant that saved my life almost two years ago, and walking was and has been a great recovery activity for me, especially when dogs are included. :) I currently have lots of time to spare! Interacting with animals and being outside is very important to me to lead a joyful life. I have very open availability, especially during the week. I am experienced with crate trained dogs, but I do keep them out the entirety that I am with them and try to provide an engaging interaction with your pets! I understand how important it is to provide your animals with stimulation!
About: I am a zookeeper, and have been pet sitting for years, so I have quite a bit of experience working with a variety of animals. I grew up with cats and dogs, and currently have 2 cats of my own. I have also taken care of other small mammals, birds, and reptiles. I am a detail oriented person with a passion for animal welfare, seeing as that is a large part of my job. I go above and beyond when I pet sit to make sure animals feel comfortable while their people are away. I am also comfortable administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, as well as eye drops. I also have years of training experience, and am comfortable working with younger animals and geriatrics. My schedule is a little variable, but I can do early morning, and afternoon/evening Saturday-Wednesday, and anytime Thursday and Friday as those are my days off. I am unfortunately unable to board animals since I live in an apartment, but am more than happy to take care of pets in the comfort of their own home.
About: Hi, I’m Devin, an experienced and insured pet caregiver located in Poway, CA. I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals, and have hands-on experience for cats, dogs, and even exotic pets! (ex: rodents, reptiles, fish) In addition to pet sitting, I also work part-time at a veterinary clinic, where I get hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I’m confident handling pets with special needs, medication routines, or unique temperaments. I do work 12-hour shifts on weekends so I might not be the best choice for long weekend sits. Whether you are ready to book or want to chat to see if our schedules can work together, I’d be happy to connect with you! When watching animals, I focus on creating a safe, low-stress environment. I’m careful with leashes, gates, and feeding routines, and I keep an eye out for any signs of stress or discomfort.
“Megan was a fantastic caretaker for our two cats! She was able to get them to come out of their shell while we were gone and she went the extra mile. Looking forward to booking again in the future!”
“Working with Fatima was wonderful. Communication was easy and smooth. Fatima went the extra mile, and I know my cat felt very comfortable with her the entire time. She even visited my furry daughter on days she didn’t have to. I would definitely work with her again. Highly recommended!!”
“We are so so lucky to have found Alesha! Not only was she an amazing caretaker for our two anxious cats while we were away, but she went above and beyond keeping the house tidy which was not expected at all but SO appreciated! She is a truly genuinely kind person and it made a world of difference being away from our cats when we feel so comfortable with the person taking care of them. She is an amazing communicator and a delight to be around. Our normally skittish cats came out almost immediately when she visited at first which told us a lot right from the start. Also, the pictures she sent of the kitties looked so professional that one is my phone background now ? Alesha, you’re the best - thank you so so much!”
About: I have 1-2 years of experience with dog walking and sitting, feeding, bathing, walking/running playing with them and ensuring their safety in public when outside the house. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to attend to your dogs or cats and am free during the day and in most evenings and also have availability on weekends. My schedule week by week shifts but I communicate well about these changes. I pay a lot of attention to detail and will respect your home and take great care of your animals based on their needs and your expectations.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs from puppies to senior doggies. I’ve always been comfortable with dogs of any size. I enjoy spending time with them especially if they need someone around! I am currently taking some time off from my 9-5 and have availability to care for your pet any day of the week including weekends! I would have to care for your pets at your place, I enjoy spending time with them where they’re most comfortable and where their environment is familiar to them.
About: Growing up I loved dogs but wasn’t allowed to have any because my dad was allergic, so I always walked and took care of the neighborhood dogs. Now I am a dog owner and still love taking care of other dogs. I work part time / mostly on the weekends, so dog walking and sitting during the week is perfect for me. Any work I do during the week I work from home. I have a fenced yard and doggy door, and a VERY loving dog who has yet to meet another dog he does not get along with. We have several doggy beds in the house as well as a large couch covered with dog blankets for dogs to lay on. We also have a large crate if necessary. We have a great neighborhood for walking, a hill with some trails right behind our house, and are just a 5 min drive to the Poway Dog park.

Kayla K.
“Kayla has taken care of our 4 animals on several occasions. We have two cats as well as a puppy and a senior dog. She cared for each of them with our specified instructions and showed up promptly and reliably leaving our home clean and our animals happy and healthy. She stayed longer to play with them and even cleaned up surprise messes when our elderly dog had accidents in the house. We couldn't believe how above and beyond she went for our kiddos and she was kind enough to send us tons of adorable pictures so we knew they were safe and happy. She loves kitties and puppies and it shows! I recommend Kayla to anyone looking for the best care for their pets.”

Laura T.
“Rover would be so lucky to have someone like Laura! I have 2 dogs, a German Shepard and a Mastiff, and she gives them so much love like they were her own. She’s incredibly selfless, so loving, so much fun, has an amazing energy to her, very positive and patient, and will always put others before herself. I hope you consider having her a part of your team! You won’t regret it.”
jenna c.
“I whole-heartedly recommend Jenna as a responsible and loving dog caregiver. I have spent a lot of time with Jenna and her dog, Archer, and it is a beautiful relationship to behold. Jenna seems to instinctively know what Archer needs, whether that’s food, discipline, extra attention, nose boops, or “all of the above!” And I’ve seen her with other dogs too, and she is very relaxed and loving around them as well. Finally, Jenna is an extremely responsible person whom I would certainly entrust with my dog’s care. She is absolutely what I would call a “dog person!"”

Nadya was wonderful. Some issues came up (completely my fault) but she was very flexible and was able to accommodate the workaround. I don’t think I can thank her enough. She also took great photos and provided daily summaries on my cat. She was quick to respond to any of my questions and requests. I am definitely hoping to work with her again.
Our cat is a senior gentleman and needed a little extra attention and two visits per day. Olivia was reliable with great communication, and we felt totally comfortable with her in charge of our kitty's care. Great pet-sitter, and we'd definitely use her again!
Fatima did a great job sitting for our two cats. The cats seemed calm and content when we came home after being away for over a week. We loved getting photos and updates, and we appreciated Fatima’s personal experience taking care of her own cats. We will definitely hire Fatima again!
