“We love working with Emin. Great communication, patient, and loves our dog. Walter gets a great workout and almost always has a bowel movement when he walks with Emin.”

About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember, from growing up with a cat to horseback riding, owning a horse, helping care for other people’s horses, walking friends’ dogs and having dogs of my own, including a German shepherd and two dachshunds. I currently don’t have pets, which is a big reason I’m signing up for Rover. I miss having animals around and would love to help care for yours. I’m an avid walker and hiker, so getting in my steps with a furry companion sounds wonderful. I’m comfortable with both larger and small dogs, and I also love cats, whether that means cuddling, giving them space or simply making sure they are well cared for. While I’m new to pet sitting through Rover, I’m a responsible, competent and trusted animal lover. Having had my own dogs, I know how much it means to find someone reliable and kind to care for your furry family members while you’re at work or on vacation. I’m a semi-retired freelancer with a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I prefer early morning through mid-afternoon visits, but will try to be accommodating according to your schedule. I don’t have a fenced yard and am not able to host pets in my home, but I’m very happy to come to you for drop-in visits, cat care and neighborhood walks. I love getting outside with dogs and am equally happy to to spend indoor time with cats.

About: I grew up with two dogs and currently have a cat, so I have years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats. My dogs are still an important part of my life, and caring for them has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet's unique personality and needs. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you're away. 🐾 I'm a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, walks, and check ins while making sure pets receive the care and companionship they need. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care for every pet. 🐾 For drop in visits, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow each pet's routine by providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes or taking dogs out for potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention. I always respect your home's rules and make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before leaving. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer approach, I adapt to their needs to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾🐶🐱

I offer dog sitting, walks, check-ins, and medication administration, providing reliable, loving care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, with availability early mornings and evenings during the week, midday visits from 12–1 PM depending on location, and flexible, open availability on weekends. I provide care that follows their routines closely. I prioritize safety, clear communication, secure environments, and attentive supervision to ensure pets feel comfortable, calm, and well cared for.
“Samantha is great! She took such good care of our dog, Javi! I received photos and updates on his walks. She made sure to follow all instructions on taking care of him-feeding him and making sure that he was walked and did his business as usual = ) Samantha made sure to keep our home secure when she left after the walks. I felt very comfortable with her having access to my home. Javi was very well taken care of and seemed very happy when we came home. I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone who may need a walker or sitter for their pets.”
“Francesca was great! We met her for a meet & greet and she was very kind and got along great with our frenchie, Birdie. She came over for an hour to feed, walk and hang out with her. We really appreciated her detailed notes and great photos. She even brought in our packages, which was so nice. We definitely recommend her and will be booking her in the future!”

About: I’ve been petsitting for 12+ years and fostering animals for 8+ years! I have taken care of many dogs under age 1 as well as senior dogs. I also have experience fostering kittens (as young as 2 weeks old) and cats! I am fluent in both Korean and English! Also, one of my family members is a veterinary assistant :) My home is condominium, and the floor is hardwood. I have a small patio area inside my house. I also have a small grass area for the residents — it’s located outside my house but inside the condominium complex. Pets are always welcome to sleep on bed or relax on our furniture! Usually, we take the pets out for potty breaks 4 times a day—first one in the morning, second one around noon, third one in the afternoon, and last one at night, right before bed. We also use the small patio area for potties if they need to potty more frequently. I take them on walks in the afternoon! For cats, I clean the litter box as soon as I see that they used it. I also have plenty of toys, treats, and cardboard scratchers! My parents and I will be available to take care of your pets full-time! My family (5) is also available to take care of the pets most of the time! If you do not want your pet/pets to interact with other pets, I can separate them upstairs and downstairs. At least one person will be available upstairs and downstairs so the pets are not left alone! Our condominium complex has two doors/gates (front and back) . I look forward to sitting your pets!
About: I have 10years of animal care experience, walking, talking, and hanging out with both large and small animals. I have experience with the fun, lovable family member types as well as the trained, agility and discipline types of dogs. I am capable of following existing discipline regimes as well as showing up and letting the animals be themselves. Animals bring me joy and I would be honored to be a part of your pets life, even for a short time. I am currently building my own business so I have a lot of flexibility within my own schedule. I do like advanced notice but as we begin to build a regular relationship I will be open to last minute requests. When I am in your home, my job and my focus will be your pet. I will asses their comfort and safety level with me, giving them space where needed but ensuring I know where they are and what they need at all times. Not only do I take any job I have seriously, these are not just animals but parts of your family, and I take as much care whether I was watching a human baby or a fur baby.

“We are so grateful to have found Alina! She walked our two dogs and sent really wonderful photos and updates. Alina is very trustworthy. Will definitely book her again!”

“Isabel is excellent! She’s punctual, is a great communicator, and is very natural with dogs. She observed a lot of things about my dogs temperament that I really appreciated . She has also done dog sitting in my home and is very trustworthy.”


About: Hi, my name is Angie! I love animals like my blood relatives and I would love to be your next fur baby caretaker! I've lived in a house with 3 dogs for my entire life, and love to play, walk, relax, and explore with them. Since I was 8 I've been actively taking care of pups (feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, and cleaning up after them), so I'm definitely confident with taking care of dogs. My earliest memories were with a Husky, Doberman mix, and Super-mutt, and then I grew up with my GSP, Australian Shepherd, and Chi-Poo (who is now the happiest 14-year-old old lady). In college I also fostered cats – a sibling duo I took care of for 6 months, as well as a litter of 6 kittens – so I love to be with both dogs and cats alike, and know how to take care of both sweet creatures :) I'm available for dog walking, dog sitting, or cat sitting, and have availability throughout the week (with only Sunday afternoons fully blocked off). I can take care of small and big dogs alike, and love to be active – so no amount of energy is too much for me! I have taken care of dogs from 6 weeks to 14 years, and cats from 2 weeks to 6 years old. I just graduated from USC, and I'm very responsible and know how to look after and take care of our precious pets. Feel free to reach out today with any questions about future care, and I look forward to becoming your pet's best friend! I'm free for walking throughout the week, and am very flexible with my work schedule since I'm a figure skating teacher. Sundays I am unavailable from 11AM-4PM, but I am otherwise available to take care of your pets or board for a period of time. I have lots of toys, treats, and love to give, and having experience with both old and young pets, I adapt to energy levels very quickly and know how to build connections and trust with animals. I am very clean and responsible, and if any mess is made I clean it right up. I can find a way to make even the smallest space a wonderland for pets, and am confident that I can keep them entertained until their humans return.
“So grateful to Eliana for being able to take on the job so last minute and perfectly follow the care instructions for my boys without needing the meet and greet. The dogs loved her and I could 100% trust her with my apartment. Despite the challenges my dogs can put someone new through, she handled it all with great professionalism and experience!”

About: We are not ready to own a pet full time just yet but I would love to help other owners with their pets. I do have children my youngest being 6 so they do have to be children friendly but I also have a safe space your pet can be separate from them when they want or need to be. I grew up with all different types of animals my whole life as well as worked taking care of, full time, a rescue that consisted of 16 cats, 5 dogs and 5 horses. So I am very familiar with animals and their needs. This is the first time I have not had a pet in my life which is why I decided to join this app. Hope to see you and your pets soon!! I am a licensed real estate agent and mother to three beautiful children. I am available at various times to watch and care for your pets. I love to be outdoors and going for walks. I live in an apartment complex, in the building that sits in the back. I have open space and an outdoors community area where your pet can go for a walk or use the bathroom. I also am comfortable working in others homes with respect to their belongings and personal preferences.
“Lilit was flexible adapting walks/playtime based on Ferdi's sensitivity to the heat wave. This was very much appreciated 👏 and really shows how attentive Lilit is to my puppy's needs. Thank you!!”

About: I have had many pets from dogs to hamsters and horses. I have eight years of pet sitting experience including dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and reptiles. I adopted my 12 yr old Yorkie from the Pasadena humane society and am also a dog walker on wag completing over 40 walks. I enjoy spending my time with animals because they ground me and motivate me to be present. I try my best to deeply engage with all the pets I care for and to show them extra love and give great comfort. I’m home for the summer and do not have any internships or jobs lined up so I’m spending all my time hanging out with dogs! I have a fenced yard and clean home in my other house that I would be house sitting at (where my Yorkie will not be)
About: Hi, my name is Sophie! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was eight years old, working with small and large breeds of all ages — from playful puppies to calm seniors. I’ve successfully handled untrained dogs and sick dogs as well. I am capable of following dietary guidelines and physical requirements your pet might require. I’m great at reading their moods and energy, so they always feel safe and comfortable. Animals truly are my safe place and I promise to provide the up most care and attention to your furry friend. I’m currently in LA with a completely open summer schedule, so I can give your pet my full attention whenever you need me. I’m completely available Monday through Saturday with flexible times. I’m not working this summer, so I can easily help with walks and drop-in visits around your schedule. I care for pets in your home so they stay in their familiar environment. For walks and check-ins I’ll come to you, keep your place exactly how I found it, and send updates and photos every visit so you always know your dog is safe and happy.
“Brandi is super communicative and always let us know when she was about to go check on our pets and sent photos and updates. She took great care of them and I definitely recommend her!!! Thank you so much again!!!”

San Rafael Hills dog parents share their Rover experiences
I couldn’t be more thankful to have found Tamar as our new dog walker! It was my first time using Rover, as my pup Lainey is quite shy at first, and takes a bit of time to warm up to new people. However, Tamar immediately put her at ease with her patience and kindness. By the end of their first walk, Lainey had found a new best friend. It’s so rare for Laines to get comfy so quickly! We had fantastic communication from the start, which put me at ease as well. Tamar is a reliable, friendly, thoughtful, and overall fantastic person to have taking care of any pet! I’m so glad Lainey is so happy when they’re hanging out, and I have someone trustworthy I can turn to when I need extra help.

All my reactive dog parents can understand how truly impossible it can feel at times to find someone who is comfortable handling an anxious and sometimes explosive dog. And because of this, I only let a few close family members handle my dog. But that wasn’t an option when I got sick…so thank god for Mandy! We did a meet and greet at our local park and they took the time to get to know Ludo, his triggers and temperament, and was incredibly respectful of our positive reinforcement training. They truly have a gift for animals and I cannot thank them enough for taking good care of my guy. So if you have a reactive dog and need someone you can trust to show up with compassion, patience, and professionalism…choose Mandy!
