Emily did an excellent job, taking care of my cat over 5 days. She checked in twice a day, sent cute photos of his interactions with her and kept him happy. I so appreciate her professionalism and concern for his welfare. Highly recommended!

I had such a great experience with her! My cat can be a little particular with new people, but she warmed up to her right away, which says a lot. She showed up exactly when she said she would, followed all my instructions carefully, and clearly took the time to make sure everything was done properly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands. I’ll definitely be rebooking and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.

Devon did a great job with my doggo! She has great ideas for training that I haven’t thought of and she seems to naturally attuned to what he is thinking and what he needs. My dog is really odd, so this is not an easy feat. I’m really glad that I found Devon and I will definitely seek her help with Tucker long term!

About: I have had dogs since I was 5 years old. In recent years, I have done overnight stays which included feedings, giving vitamins, play, walks, and more! I am currently a college student with flexible hours which allows me to have time to watch your pups! I am available most days and with a flexible schedule. I am able to abide by requests you may have, I know what it is like to have a dog with specific needs and wants!

Whitney has cared for my two kitties - one of whom needs daily oral medication - numerous times now. I feel so relieved, knowing my babies are in safe and capable hands with her. I had to travel recently for a family memorial service, an already stressful event, and Whitney was able to care for my kitties on fairly short notice, so I was able to be with my family. Whitney definitely has the attentive "mom" energy I want when it comes to my fur-babies. I highly recommend her.

About: Hi there! I'm a passionate teenage dog lover with a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've grown up in a home full of tail wags and wet noses—dogs have been part of my life since I could walk, and caring for them is second nature to me. I have years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, and experience in giving senior dogs the extra TLC they need. From gentle walks and soft beds to administering oral medications with care and patience, I'm dedicated to keeping your pup safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or calm and cuddly, I tailor my care to fit their unique needs and routine. I'm dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. You can expect lots of pictures and updates as I value communication to limit your worries and ensure that your dogs are being properly taken care of while you are away! Let me give your furry friend all the love and attention they deserve. Your dog will be in great hands—and you’ll have peace of mind every step of the way! 💕🐶 I am student at San Diego State University so I do have a routine class schedule but aside from that I am free and flexible to work around my classes. I am available to provide service at client’s home daily. I am able to do potty breaks, love check-ins, walks, runs and outdoor adventures at whatever time frame works best for your pet’s lifestyle. I will keep clients’ homes clean and locked when I’m not there to ensure the safety of your home and pups!

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life by dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, and at 40+ years in, my love for them has only grown. I've pet sat for many households and have a natural ability to handle all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I'm a verified member of Trusted House Sitters (in which the primary is pet sitting), and I take that seriously. I'm experienced with medically complex pets. I've administered subcutaneous fluids, insulin injections, and oral medications. I also have cared for special needs animals including a three-legged seizure-prone Chihuahua, a teacup Chihuahua with broken elbows, and a German Shepherd with cow-hocks disease. If your pet has extra needs, they're in capable hands. My approach is calm, grounded, and playful and animals feel it. I'm a certified hypnotherapist and life coach, and the same energy awareness and patience I bring to people, I bring to pets. Anxious, shy, and difficult animals tend to soften around me naturally. My sister didn't call me the Cat and Dog Whisperer for nothing. :D I have a soft spot for the ones others overlook. I've rescued an abandoned Chihuahua-Terrier, adopted a shelter pup, and my two boys Bruce and Charlie came to me as feral kittens nobody else wanted. Every animal deserves patience, consistency, and genuine love and that's exactly what I bring to every walk and drop-in. I'm a San Diego local with regular availability in LA County as well, so wherever you are, I've got you covered. My schedule is flexible and I'm available most weekdays and select weekends, morning through evening. I don't operate on a rigid 9-to-5, which means I can work around your pet's needs rather than the other way around. Outside of pet care, I'm an active, outdoorsy person and love hiking, kayaking, and paddleboarding. That energy carries directly into every walk and drop-in. Your dog won't just get a stroll around the block, they'll get someone who genuinely loves being outside and moving. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities always. I follow your established routines closely and take detailed instructions seriously. Every home, every pet, and every owner is different, and I respect that. When I'm in your home I treat it with care. I leave things as clean or cleaner than I found them. Your space and your pet's environment will be respected. I'm extremely mindful of doors and escape artists. I know how quickly a curious pet can bolt, and I create my own blockades when needed to make sure no one slips out unexpectedly. I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs simultaneously including large, high-energy breeds. I've walked a Rottweiler and German Shepherd together, both with strong pulling tendencies, and handled them with confidence. You'll never wonder how your pet is doing. I send photos and updates daily including sometimes multiple times a day because I know how much you miss them and how much it means to see a happy face pop up on your phone. I also have hands-on experience with pet first aid, including applying Quik Stop for bleeding so minor mishaps are handled calmly and quickly without panic. Your home, your routines, your pet I've got all of it handled.

Sasha is the kind of sitter you hope to find on Rover and then never want to lose. 💛 This was our second time booking with her, and after having several other wonderful sitters, we can confidently say she is 100% our new go-to for our cat, Seaweed. Her level of care, attentiveness, communication, & genuine empathy is truly exceptional. Seaweed requires oral medication 2x daily, and Sasha handles her meds + entire routine flawlessly while still making each visit feel like actual quality time with her: snugs, scratches, playtime, treats, hangouts, & lots of love! Her experience with animals is obvious, and we have SO much peace of mind traveling knowing our little Weed is in incredibly capable hands. She consistently goes above & beyond, whether it’s helping keep Seaweed comfortable during a heat wave, taking care of little things around the house, spending extra time with her, or simply noticing the small details that show how closely she’s paying attention. And somehow, on top of everything else, she takes the absolute cutest/silliest photos of Seaweed we’ve ever seen. 🥹😂 We truly adore Sasha and cannot recommend her highly enough. She’s dependable, knowledgeable, compassionate, proactive, & genuinely loves the animals in her care. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will absolutely keep booking her whenever she’ll have us! 🤗🙏

Elisabeth was so incredible! Cannot recommend her enough. She watched our angelic yet clingy Siberian 1.5yr old cat every day for a week for an hour plus. My partner and I were going out of town for the first time since we adopted him and were extremely anxious about leaving him. A friend of ours had recommended Elisabeth, so we interviewed her and she was the obvious choice! Once we left, she was communicative with how Wally was doing and updated us with photos every day. Upon our return, he was happy to see us but it was clear he wasn’t starved for attention! It made us feel even more at ease that he clearly hadn’t been stressed about our absence at all. In a world out there where trusting your little one to someone else (and having them in your home) can be scary and anxiety-producing, you def want someone like Elisabeth taking care of them. Hire her!

About: With over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, I’ve worked with breeds of all sizes and personalities—from Rottweilers, Mastiffs and Pit Bulls to French Bulldogs, Australian Shepherds, English Bulldogs and many others. I have a special passion for working with dogs that others may be hesitant to care for, including large breeds, strong personalities and reactive or misunderstood dogs. As someone who understands the challenges of owning these incredible pets, I provide patient, confident and compassionate care without judgment. To me, pets are family and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m experienced in caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering medications, following detailed care instructions and maintaining consistent feeding and medication schedules. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, aging or simply needs extra attention I’m committed to providing a safe, loving and reliable experience while you’re away. I’m available for 30–60 minute midday drop-in visits on weekdays, as well as after 4:30 PM on weekdays. I’m available all day on weekends. My weekday schedule is somewhat flexible and I’m happy to work with clients to accommodate their pets’ needs whenever possible. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your beloved pet is a big decision. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime and companionship while ensuring your home remains clean, secure and exactly as you left it. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

Kristieann was an absolutely incredible sitter for my senior puppy. She was extremely kind and caring for my old girl and was able to come during the middle of the day to look after her, pet her, brush her, and giver her company while I was at work all day. She has made a noticeable difference in my dogs life and I am so grateful for her help and I highly recommend her for any service she offers.
