Kim has been amazing with the care of our 4 cats which helped us so much to enjoy our trip and not worry. Her daily report and pictures give a nice view on what's going on and we truly appreciate that she took the time to cuddle and play with them as well. One of our cats is a little bit more iffy with new people and she graciously gave him the space he needs. We are hoping to keep her as a future resource to manage our crazy foursome.

About: Hello my name is Stephanie and since I am no longer able to have a dog, would love to help you walk or take care of yours! I love all types of dogs and love to create new best friends through love and care, cuddles, walks and treats. I take “hot girl walks” daily, would love a partner in crime to do it with. I do have a full time job, work mornings so am able to do evening walks or anytime Monday and Thursdays (my days off) also open to sitting at any time When I did have a cute little dog (3 I total), I trained them from a puppies and continued training in making sure they were well behaved and cared for always. Dogs to me are more than pets and I would treat yours just the same.

About: I’ve spent over a decade caring for my own dog, a pit bull who was part of my family for 11 years and lived to 15 years old. He faced multiple health challenges over the years, including cancer, and I supported him through every stage of his life. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to stay calm and consistent, even in more demanding situations. I’m comfortable with medium to large breeds and understand the importance of structure, routine, and a safe, stable environment. I treat every dog with the same level of care and respect I gave my own I’m retired, so I’m home most of the day and able to provide consistent care, attention, and supervision. My wife also works from home, so there is almost always someone present to make sure your dog is safe and comfortable. We’re able to maintain a steady routine with regular potty breaks, feeding, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Dogs in our care are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure home environment where dogs are always supervised and cared for. Since I’m retired and my wife works from home, there is almost always someone present, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs to ensure they feel safe and comfortable while they’re here. I also keep a close eye on behavior and interactions at all times. My goal is to provide an stress-free, reliable experience so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. To keep a safe and comfortable home environment, I ask that dogs are house-trained and non-destructive. Owners are responsible for any significant damage caused during a stay.”

About: Hello I’m Nancy! I’m a recent college graduate from UCSD who would prefer more animal friends than humans. I joined Rover to meet more local furry neighbors and help out pet owners. I’m a hamster owner myself, but I have plenty of house sitting experience for dogs and cats since 2021. Owners that book recurring visits often see their pets are excited to see me again. I’m honored to be your sitter — your pet will get all of my love and affection and you will receive lots of (goofy) photos to prove that. Cat owners extremely benefit from me, as I have a younger sister who also helps out whenever I am cat sitting. Your cat will understand what it is like to be a celebrity between the two of us since we are big cat lovers! My schedule is night shift, I work 11pm-7:30am. I typically don’t sleep until a couple hours later (10-11am) and I wake up around 5pm. So my schedule can align well with pets that are familiar with a typical 9-5 schedule. I rarely travel so my schedule can accommodate pets under short notice. Before you entrust me with the care of your friend, I’d love to know more about them. Ideally, I’d love to schedule a meet and greet beforehand so they get used to me and so we both know more about each other. It is important to me that I meet you and your pet’s expectations. I’d love to know all the quirks and traits of your pet.

Your dog will be in safe hands with me! As of right now I am free whenever for whatever! I am just not available to board at my place right now. Currently looking for a summer job. When pet/house sitting, I always make sure the house is safe and all the animals and plants are taken care of. Perhaps some snacks may go missing however…

About: https://www.rover.com/sit/racheb16940 Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up surrounded by dogs and truly can’t imagine life without them. I’ve had my own dog, Dougie, since he was a puppy, so I understand firsthand the care, patience, and consistency dogs need at every stage of life. We’re a very active household — regular hikes, dog beach trips, long walks, and plenty of outdoor time are part of our routine. That said, I’m just as happy providing calm companionship, belly rubs, and lots of snuggles for dogs who prefer a slower pace. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and safety-focused. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs, and I always make sure dogs feel comfortable, secure, and loved while they’re in my care. Friends and family often trust me with their pets because they know I treat every dog like my own. Whether your dog needs exercise, structure, or simply a friendly face and extra affection, I’m here to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I have full availability working from home. Dougie is eight, so I’ve had a solid routine since he was a puppy with lots of exercise and snuggles. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions, to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Safety is always my top priority — I supervise pets closely, use leashes during walks, and keep spaces secure and hazard-free. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated with regular messages and photos.

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats and have cared for many pets of my own over the years. My experience spans every life stage - from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets needing gentle, attentive support. I've worked with a wide range of breeds and temperaments and understand how to tailor care to each animal's unique needs. I currently share my home with two Australian Shepherds, ages 5 and 6, who keep me active and always learning. I've also provided care for many pets belonging to friends, family, and clients, always treating them with the same love and respect I give my own animals. I'm a true animal and nature lover, and I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and comfortable experience for every pet in my care. Pet care is naturally woven into my day. Because I work from home, I'm able to maintain a consistent routine that keeps me available for walks, checkins, feeding schedules, and companionship throughout the day. I structure my work around the pets I am caring for, ensuring they receive regular attention, exercise, and supervision. Whether it's morning walks, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I'm able to provide reliable, flexible care that fits each pets individual needs. When caring for pets in a client's home, my focus is on maintaining their routine, comfort, and sense of security. I follow the pet parent's instructions closely, keep the environment clean and safe, and make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, companionship, and structure throughout the visit.

About: In my previous living complex, we would hold a daily play time. As soon as I stepped onto the sidewalk, the doggos would immediately run to the edge of the grass before my own boys steps foot onto the grass. I have been given the name "Dr. Wendy" as I love to give massages to the doggos during their play time, especially the older pups. I am a pre-med and currently applying to medical school. Naturally I have a lot of love, compassion and care to give to humans and of course dogs! I have raised a loyal 130 lbs GSD from puppy age, a spunky and cuddly rescue Yorkie ,a ferocious Maltipoo and high energy mini Goldendoodle. I am currently transitioning career path and will have an open schedule until further notice. I am looking a remote job to provide services even after settling into a new position. When my boys were puppies, I would start off with a small section in our home and gradually introduce them to other areas as their potty training progressed. In terms of potty training, I kept a consistent schedule with feeding and recording their bathroom breaks (whether it was number 1 or 2.) After I learned their bathroom pattern and they were cleared by the vet to be introduced to grass, I would transition them to outside walk/potty breaks. At the same I would ween off the potty pads. Both my boys were house trained by 8-10 months. As a sitter, I always send a message if your pet went number 1 and/or 2. I usually like to make sure they go potty before I leave your pet alone.

Robyn was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond, sending daily updates and photos. She made time for play, followed every care instruction perfectly, and provided a warm, comforting presence. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Robyn again!

About: I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter with years of animal care experience. As a full time sitter, I’ll devote my full attention to your pets throughout the day. I’ll follow their routines closely, including meals, walks, potty breaks, and playtime, so they always get the care and attention they need, even during typical work hours when other sitters might be too busy. For boarding or house-sitting, I take only one client at a time and have no pets of my own, so your pets won’t need to share my care or space with other animals. This ensures an stress-free, calm environment that respects their routines and individual needs. I’m a UC Irvine graduate and former paralegal who now happily focuses on personalized, hands-on pet care. I’m experienced administering oral medications, including pills, powders, and liquids in food, and following special care instructions to ensure every pet receives the best care. I treat every pet like my own, and my calm, positive energy helps them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Their happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. I create a calm and loving environment where pets can relax and feel truly cared for, even when their owners are away. Throughout the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention and pets or cozy cuddles, helping them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I tailor walks to each dog’s energy and preferences, whether that’s a calm stroll around the neighborhood, potty breaks in your yard, or extra playtime in a safe, open area. Safety is always a top priority while we explore, sniff around, and enjoy our walks together. Housesitting: I treat your home with care and respect, keeping everything clean and tidy. I double-check doors and appliances to make sure everything is secure, so your home is just as you left it when you return. Boarding: I live in a quiet, single-story home with my mom, who also loves dogs. Your pet will enjoy a calm and peaceful environment with no other pets, helping them feel completely at ease. They’ll receive plenty of attention, love, and care, just like part of our family!

Aaron really came in a pinch for our cats as their water was spilled and the litter filled up quicker than expected. He was kind, attentive, communicative, and made sure our place was back in good shape and the kiddos had a good treat. He also took the litterbag to the dumpster despite us saying he can just leave it in the bathroom, just so our place wouldn’t smell! Will definitely reach out to him again.
