About: I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up with a small menagerie of pets. I also took care of my neighbors' dogs when they traveled. When I was 13, I started volunteering at my local animal shelter, where I learned how to handle cats and dogs with different levels of socialization. As an adult, I adopted a dog with severe separation anxiety and later managed his other health issues as a senior. I also rescued a feral kitten from the street and then foster failed with another kitten. So if your pet is a rescue and/or nervous around strangers, I will be sure to treat them with extra patience and care. I have a fairly flexible schedule at the moment, so I'm available for both one-time and recurring care for your pets. I would love to make their care part of my routine! It is important that your pet feels safe and like their routine is minimally interrupted while in my care. While I may be a new face, I will be sure to stick to your instructions regarding their routine.

About: I'm glad to welcome you! My name is Julia and I recently came to the USA for my dream. I want to take care of animals and spend a lot of time with them. I've had cats and dogs at home since childhood. That's why I understand perfectly how to take care of them. Now I have a Corgi dog Rey, and I'm happy that I have such a friend. I wholeheartedly understand how worried you are when you leave your dog on pet sitting. That's why I want to brighten up the expectation of your meeting and look after your pet. I try to satisfy all the needs of the animal as fully as possible. I can also give you the necessary medicines, if necessary. And also treatment of wounds and sutures. But please, no injections. I'll be glad to be your pet's friend 🐶🐱 I'm not working now and I can devote enough time to walk and play with your pet. For example, it is possible in the morning, during the evening. I can take care of your pet only on your territory. Devoting enough time to him to close the needs. If your pet is under a lot of stress in your absence, I can help him, be there and distract him from this problem

About: I live in an 800sq ft 1 bedroom apartment. I usually keep cats or small dogs in the bedroom and larger dogs in the living room. Most of the time it’s 1 pet per room. I absolutely love pets and even after they come back to their actual home, I still look for them around my apartment. They also get used to me very quickly because I give them a lot of attention and play time. Once a friend asked me to take care of their pet, and then it all started. So I have recently started taking care of pets professionally and it has been a real pleasure for me. In my life, I have had 10 cats and 2 dogs (German Shepherd) so I know how to act in any situation, even emergency. I have experience with pets that have separation anxiety. I am strong and can handle even the wildest creatures and treat them gently even if they misbehave. I do not raise my voice and I do not have any strict rules. I won't keep your pet like in a "prison cell". Playing with pets is one of my most favorite things to do. I also love running and if requested, I can take your pup for some physical activity in a park. I always always stop and look around before I cross the street and never cross on red light. I love taking photos of pets and if you would like, I can send you photos of them daily. I do not have experience in grooming but I will be happy to give your pet a bath so it's clean and fresh when you pick it up. The most important to me is to create a safe and loving environment for your best friend so you can have peace of mind while you are away. I come from Poland and I am a Polish/American citizen. I am currently a nursing student at the LA Valley College. All of my classes are online so I spent 90% of my time at home. I have a surveillance camera in my apartment to check on pets while I am gone. I live in a one bedroom apartment with plenty of space (1000sq ft). I do have toys, balls, dog and cat beds, and plenty of cat scratchers. I am a trustworthy and responsible person. Your pet is the most important when it is in my hands. I live in a peaceful neighborhood with a lot of greenery to take dogs on walks. I have no strict rules around my house. I don't mind having your pet on my furniture or have it sleep with me (unless you're not ok with that). I never ever lock pets in the bathroom or cage, or even in the darkness alone. Also, if it is hot/cold outside, I make sure to keep a comfortable temperature inside.

“Alexandra was extremely reliable! She was punctual and gave our dogs lots of play time. I had asked her if she could fill up their water bowls and she mentioned that it was the first thing she did when she arrived. This was the first time she had met our girls and she picked up on everything they enjoyed doing! Thank you so much Alexandra!!”


“John was fantastic taking care of my dogs! Great communication and engagement with me throughout the time he was taking care of our dogs. Our dogs were super happy and tired after their time with John.”


About: I’m Tracy, a former animal professional who’s also an experienced house sitter and pet caretaker. (I’ve worked in zookeeping and in wildlife rehabilitation, so I’ve met a lot of animals in my time!) I’m reliable, friendly, responsible and will do things the way you want them done. Pets adore me and vice versa. I'm fine with huge dogs, tiny dogs, fearful dogs, high-energy dogs, cats who love attention, cats who hide under the bed. (I also love meeting exotics!) I'm flexible, patient and forgiving with them, but don't let them get away with stuff, like any good parent. I figure out their signals and learn to speak their language, so they feel "heard." I'm happy to give them exercise and keep them active. (They're the main reason I go out and get exercise myself, so I'm as grateful to them as vice versa.) I can also give meds as needed, be it pills, ointments, eye drops, even subQ fluids. I will be their best buddy (at their pace), make them feel loved and happy so that your absence will fly by for them. I am a non-smoker, no drugs, only a social drinker, I bring absolutely no drama. I’ll do things just the way you ask me to and, if I'm staying a while, will leave your place nice and welcoming when you get back. These days I have one very flexible M-F job that’s literally 5 minutes’ drive from my house. Accordingly, my specialty lately is longer-term overnight housesitting for cat owners, as cats’ needs tend to jibe pretty well with my schedule. I keep my service range small so that, if I’m caring for a dog(s), I can drop by to give them midday attention. I love getting to know pets and their goofy little personalities, and I work hard to safeguard their feeling of normalcy and security. Homeowners also appreciate my policy of leaving their homes just the way I found them. I do my best to keep the pets' routine uninterrupted and provide whatever they're used to so their life stays on an even keel. (But if things ever seem slow I'll try to discover a new fun activity for us !) I also provide whatever updates you request--I know what it's like to be away from your babies and hoping they're doing all right without you!

“What a gem of a personality!!!!! I feel so grateful to have met Paula - I was anxious about finding someone to come into my home but I feel so much more at peace after meeting Paula. Incredibly kind and genuine. I know that she is a true animal lover and a good person with a kind heart. Definitely will be continuing my connection with her for care for my pup.”


About: I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between, as well as cats! I've had my cat for eight years and my last dog for around five before he passed at the age of sixteen, so was very used to taking care of an elderly dog. Two years ago we got a Pomeranian husky when she was a puppy, so have some puppy training experience as well! I have open availability all week and am happy to do any petsitting long term or short term and take animals out for walks, or do check ins at any point during the day! I love animals, so will give your critters lots of love while you're gone. Happy to play with animals, take them on walks, take to the park, and keep to any routines you have for your pets!

About: I believe every pet deserves more than just care, they deserve connection. I take the time to truly get to know your pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. With years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals, I’m committed to making sure you and your furry family member have complete peace of mind.

Whether your pet enjoys long scenic walks, playful adventures, or relaxing cuddle time, I tailor every visit to keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. Every morning starts with a potty break followed by breakfast. I always allow enough time for her to comfortably digest her food before we head out for a walk. Laci enjoys three walks a day to keep her active and happy. Weekly, I make sure to groom her, clean her bedding, and check for any signs of health concerns. Caring for her is naturally built into my lifestyle and something I genuinely enjoy. 🐕 When I care for pets in a client's home, I follow their specific instructions closely to maintain the pet's normal routine, I ensure they're fed on time, walked or exercised as needed, and given attention and comfort so they feel secure while their owner is away. I also respect the client's home, keeping it clean, locking up securely, and giving updates so they know their pet is in good hands.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the combination of experience, patience, and genuine love I bring to every walk or visit. I’m not just here to take your dog around the block — I treat each pet like they’re my own. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from high-energy puppies who need structure and positive reinforcement, to sweet seniors who require a slower pace, medication, or extra gentle care. I’m comfortable with all breeds and temperaments, and I take the time to get to know your dog’s unique personality, needs, and routines. I also pay close attention to detail — whether it’s keeping a consistent walking schedule, making sure water bowls are full, or giving you updates with pictures and notes so you know your pup is happy and safe. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your dog’s tail wags. I work fully remote and part-time, which gives me a super flexible schedule — perfect for fitting in pet care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning feedings, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I can usually adjust my hours to match your pet’s routine. Since I'm home-based, I’m never rushing between long commutes or office hours — I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve, without stress or last-minute scrambling. Since I don’t have any pets in my home right now, your fur baby will get all the space and attention they need when staying with me. I make sure their environment is calm, cozy, and safe — with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and breaks as needed.When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I make sure their food and water are fresh, the litter box is clean, and I spend quality time playing or relaxing with them so they feel comfortable and cared for.

“Shay is the absolute best!! I’ve booked her several times to care for my kitties when going out of town and my kitties love her soooo much! They are typically two skittish cats but Shay always leaves a wonderful impression on them, so they always remember her and feel at ease when she drops in. Shay always gives the most detailed updates, sends amazing pics, stays in touch, goes above and beyond, and follows all care instructions to a T. Highly, highly recommend Shay for all your pet care needs! 💕 Thank you, Shay!!”


About: Animals are not afraid of me and I am not afraid of animals. I love taking care of them. I want your pet to feel comfortable, so I am here to help you and your pet🫶🏻 Now I am not working, but only studying online, so your pet can be with me day and night for your convenience. I have a husband and a 4-year-old daughter. My daughter is a very neat and calm girl and just loves to help me with everything, so that your pet will not be stressed or tense. Moreover, my daughter is in kindergarten from 8 am to 5 pm. My husband loves all animals and is never against any furry creature in our house. We don’t have our own animal, so it will be comfortable for your pet. We live in a small house, which is on the ground floor in a beautiful and cozy place with lawns and quiet roads. We do not have our own animals, so your pet will be comfortable with us.

About: Spending time with animals has been a joy throughout my life. I am not allowed pets in my apartment, so I would love to baby sit yours! I’ve taken care of senior animals with special medical needs and a prescription regimen. I’m extremely responsible, intuitive, and care deeply for our animal friends. Also, I’m bilingual (Spanish)! I’m a work from home artist, so I have a very flexible schedule. I also walk regularly, so bringing pet friends along is even more fun! I have a file on each one of my pet friends, and I keep track of all their details so I can be attuned to their needs and preferences. I often house sit and pet sit at the same time. I’m very trustworthy, and taking care of someone’s home is a top priority! I’m tidy, reliable, and very detail oriented.

Katrina took Sadie on three walks a day, kept us updated with adorable photos and messages, and made sure she was happy, healthy, and having fun the entire time. Sadie came home her usual goofy, tail-wagging self-which tells us she felt safe and loved. Honestly, staying at Katrina’s place is like a little vacation for Sadie! We didn’t have to worry for a second while we were away, and that peace of mind is priceless. Highly, highly recommend! - Ajay”

She's very good at sending updates if I'm gone for a long trip, letting me know if anything is wrong or if she has any questions, and even just to let me know that my cat is doing well and having a good time with her, including lots of photos. She recently showed just what a huge heart she has for pets when watching my other cat, who had been sick and not doing well, taking her to a last minute vet visit when I was out of town and then being sure to give her a lot of extra love and making her comfortable until I could get back home. And I know that for friends with dogs she's been great with them as well!”
Riverside Rancho pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover, and Lauren's services and I am glad I did! My baby is a shy boy, but I'm glad he was able to warm up to Lauren. I'm glad my pup felt comfortable around her. Thank you Lauren for taking care of my baby! I will definitely book again with you!

Ashley has looked after our kitties three times now. She’s easy to communicate with, reliable, thorough and trustworthy. She sends lots of great photos so we know all is well and alerts us to any issues. I recommend her and look forward to her help in the future.

This is the 3rd time Sarah has watched my cats and they seem relaxed and well-cared for each time I return home. Sarah has always been reliable and communicative. She takes time to try to get them to play and give them extra pets. I highly recommend Sarah to watch your fur companions.

Michael was very friendly and professional, and made sure to follow through with all requests and expectations. Although my trip was short, he gave me peace of mind knowing that my cats were well-cared for, with regular updates and photos. I appreciated his thoughtfulness and attentiveness, not only for the cats but also for my apartment. I would definitely recommend him as a sitter and will consider using his services again. Thank you Michael!

Ginneh was amazing with my cat, Nougat! I’ve had a hard time finding a new sitter since the previous one he loved moved away and he can get anxious when I travel. But I could tell after the first visit that he would be well cared for while I was away. Ginneh left very detailed updates in the Rover card so that I was up to date on all things going on with my little guy. She made sure his food bowl and litter areas were clean and spent extra time playing and snuggling with him! I know Nouagt enjoyed the daily brushing and laser playtime! I will definitely book again!

Finding someone who could care for our senior dog with special needs was tough, but Barbara came through. She took the time to do a meet-and-greet and listened carefully to our needs. Barbara ensured that all our requirements were met and kept us updated with regular check-ins, so we always knew Pasha was comfortable. We’ll be booking her again!

I can’t say enough good things about Farrah! She was absolutely incredible with my golden doodle, Goldie. Not only did she take her on a great walk and send the cutest updates, but she also went the extra mile—literally and figuratively. When I got home, I saw she had thoughtfully refreshed Goldie’s food and water bowls, and even spruced up her bed area so it was tidy and cozy. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, but that’s exactly what Farrah did. Goldie was relaxed, happy, and clearly adored her. I felt 100% confident and grateful knowing she was in such caring hands. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Paula and Dudley got along fine! She visited him 3x per day while I was gone for 6 days. Paula checked in several times each day with positive feedback and photos. Dudley is a senior, so Paula had more responsibilities than just feeding and walking him. There were diapers to change and medicines to give him. Paula exudes kindness and empathy towards pets. I recommend that you contact her, meet with her, and book her!
