“Always a pleasure having Cat watch our pups - our 2 dogs love her. We also really appreciate that she leaves the house clean just as we left it. Very kind and considerate - highly recommend!”

“We’ve used Yessi multiple times and we continue to feel so comfortable having her in our home looking after Frankie. I definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a trusted sitter for your precious pup!”

“We were so thankful that Sarah was available on Christmas Day. She had a great attitude, and took a liking to our Golden retriever, Leo, right away. Sarah sent picture updates of our boy while we were gone, to let us know how he was doing. I’d recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets—fish, birds, cats, and dogs. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and over the years I’ve gained experience with pets of all ages and personalities. I’ve dog‑sat for seniors up to 18 years old and cared for kittens as young as 2 weeks, giving each one the patience, gentleness, and attention they need. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule, making it easy for me to accommodate visits, walks, and last‑minute needs. Whether your pet is tiny, energetic, elderly, or somewhere in between, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible—I'm an actor, and most of my work is remote from home. That means I’m able to pop in and out throughout the day for visits, feedings, playtime, or whatever your pet needs. It gives me plenty of freedom to provide consistent, reliable care without long gaps between check‑ins. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress‑free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication needs, playtime preferences, or specific quirks your pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, enrichment, and comfort so they feel safe while you’re away. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Hi I'm Ivy! I love animals and have had dogs all my life, so I figured what better way to spend my free time than to take care of your fur babies! | currently have a cat, Matilda who is my world! So l would treat your pet as if they were my own, with lots of love and affection. “Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.” - Orhan Pumak I have a very flexible schedule as l am working part time. I am able to stay for multiple hours at a time. I am a very patient person who has studied animal behavior and care. I make sure your pet is happy and treated impeccable. I live in a two story townhome with a fenced backyard. There are plenty of walking paths, a friendly neighborhood and a open grass area across the street. All fur babies will be well taken care of!
About: I regularly dog-sit for family friends ranging from small, medium, and large dogs (most experience with Chihuahuas, Terriers, Shih Tzus, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Spaniels)! I've also been a regular volunteer at Priceless Pet Rescue in Claremont and Chino Hills from 2022 - 2025. I feel particularly comfortable with mellow dogs who just need a friend to hang out with and play together, but I'm excited to care for more active dogs who require consistent exercise and/or mental stimulation. I enjoy walking with dogs in the mornings and evenings when the air and sidewalks are cooler, but I'm more than happy with accommodating your dogs' specific routine. I’m super excited to meet your doggies and thank you for your consideration! I'm currently available all days of the week and open to any specific hours you might need me to check in on your fur baby! I'm also open to overnight boarding if needed. My two cats are strictly indoor only, with occasional supervised and harnessed walks/exploration time outside, which helped me become very attentive. I will notice very quickly if your dogs or cats are not in their usual areas of the house, and will work fast to contact you and locate them ASAP. I will always put your pets' safety first with gentle, cooperative care, patience, and love!
About: Ever since I can remember, animals have been apart of my life. Animals are my entire life and I can’t wait to broaden my knowledge while taking care of more animals! I’m currently out of work, making Rover fit into my schedule perfectly! I am available anytime of the day, anytime of the week, and whenever you need! I have much experience with any size dog, making it easy for me to control and manage the animal! I have a fence at my home and will always make sure the animal is leashed if not!
“Fantastic! Def will use again. She worked well with my reactive and anxious pup and slowly got him to trust her. She was able to accommodate us last minute due to another sitter canceling, and was awesome!”

About: Hi there! :) I have extensive pet care experience, fostering multiple cats, volunteering at St. Bonnie's Sanctuary, and providing catsitting services for my close friends. I have also previously owned two cats (Rest in peace Jellybean). I am attentive, patient, and very comfortable caring for cats. BONUS: This is my preference and totally an option! I live by myself and have a relaxing place mainly for cats! My friends call it a cat spa because they're always sleeping and relaxed whenever I catsit! I'm currently working from home as a storyboard artist for the animation industry. My schedule is quite open and flexible once I receive advanced notice. Given the nature of my career, I have a high attention to detail when it comes to feeding cats and is very consistent with playtime!
About: As an experienced petsitter, my girlfriend and I have been taking care of cats and dogs for friends, neighbors, and new clients for years, and have also been a trusted petsitter on Rover for over a 3 years. We are fully available to provide care for your pets, whether it's for several hours a day or just a quick check-in to let them outside and play. If your pets have special needs, we are happy to accommodate them to ensure they receive the best possible care. Many of my repeat clients hire me weekly and are always happy I am available for them. When it comes to house sitting, I will be there to ensure your home is safe and secure. I am available to spend the night at your house from 9 pm-9 am, and will also provide a drop-in visit in the middle of the day. If the our schedule permits we will spend more time than that at your home. I will treat your house like my own, ensuring that everything is taken care of while you're away, and leaving it cleaner than when I arrived. I understand how important it is to keep your dog's routine consistent, and I will do everything I can to maintain their schedule while you're away. This includes middle-of-the-night bathroom trips, which are no problem for me. I am committed to providing the best possible care for your pet while you're away, ensuring they receive the attention and care they need.
About: I've been sitting big breed dogs and have had them since I was a kid. If I could, I would have a dozen of them, but for now, I will babysit your dog. I work from home, and my partner also has a flexible schedule, so they are usually around too, providing your dog with companionship, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Walks, backyard playtime, enrichment, and plenty of snuggles are part of my daily routine. We value kindness, inclusivity, respect, and emotional safety. Our home is a judgment-free zone for people and pets. I have a fenced yard, nothing to jump off, and a friendly rescue yellow Labrador/pittie mix who loves to play with dog visitors. He is also great at reading dog body language and at giving new visitors their space until they are ready to engage. I’m experienced with dogs who have restrictions - physical, food sensitivities or allergies - or just need extra time settling in. As a former volunteer with Southern California Labrador Rescue, I fostered and pulled dogs from shelters. I understand the unique needs — and big hearts — that often come with rescue dogs. I love both in-home boarding and house sitting. Staying in a client’s home gives me a peaceful change of scenery for my writing and allows dogs to stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m available to house sit throughout Southern California. I work from home full-time, Monday-Friday. On weekends, we typically garden, cook, and go for walks or hikes. Snuggles, backyard playtime, and lots of interaction time are a critical part of my day with your dog. I am a homeowner with a fenced yard in a gated neighborhood, a rescue mutt to keep your dog company, and a cat. My teenager is also a dog lover who spoils our Charlie. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. I have dog beds, lots of water bowls, and time for pets. Our dog is a big hunk of love at 116 lbs, and I have always had big dogs. He LOVES having dog friends at the house.
About: I’ve always had a pet in the home since I was a kid, so pet care comes naturally to me. I’ve also been able to take care of neighbors cats and dogs while they’re on vacation. I really have a soft spot in my heart for the critters and it carries over into my treatment and quality of my pet care services. I’m currently living without a pet for the first time in my life right now, and I miss him very much, but that just means I have more love to give to your pet!!! I have open availability so I can be there for your critter at a moment’s notice. Basic Care Feeding: Providing food and water at scheduled times. Bathroom Breaks: Taking the dog outside for potty breaks or cleaning up accidents. Exercise: Walking the dog, playing fetch, or providing other physical activities.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience and diverse set of skills in pet care. I have a knack for training puppies and providing specialized care for senior pets. I understand the unique needs of different animals and can adapt my approach accordingly. Whether it's administering medication, helping with mobility, or providing gentle exercise, I go the extra mile to ensure the well being of every furry friend in my care. My attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for animals truly sets me apart as a pet sitter. Pet care is a part of my daily routine. I schedule specific times for visits, play, and cuddles around my other commitments to ensure every pet gets the attention they deserve! When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment. I ensure that the surroundings are pet-proofed, with no potential hazards around. I follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owners regarding feeding, medication, and exercise. I also make sure to spend quality time with the pets, providing them with attention, playtime, and lots of love. Additionally, I maintain open communication with the pet owners, providing updates and addressing any concerns they may have. The well being and happiness of the pets are always my top priorities!
“I hope Stacy and her family are always available when we need help with our pets, because they put our minds at ease and took care of our fur babies with the greatest of care! We have had many people help us over the years with our pets and she outshined them all! Our pets loved her and I could feel how much she cared for them. Highly recommend!”

Santa Clarita pet parents share their Rover experiences
Allisa is the best ever pet sitter you'll ever find! Our dog did zoomies just because she was so excited to see Allisa! I NEVER have any concerns at all when Allisa cares for Zoey, and Zoey has a complicated food and medication routine. You'll be delighted with her. And she's a great photographer as well. In fact, my cell phone wallpaper is a photo Allisa took!
Caroline did an amazing job! She was faced with unexpected challenges of dealing with our dog (who is afraid of water, even in the form of lawn sprinklers) during a week of drenching rain! And Zoey also has some special needs in terms of eating five times daily and getting medication twice daily. Caroline was exceptional in following Zoey's schedule. Also, she gave us regular updates (and sent some amazing photos). We'd highly recommend Caroline!
Viviana is a thoughtful, responsible, and loving dog sitter. One of my dogs can be finnicky with people she just meets, but she immediately loved Viviana (and this says a lot!) Viviana thoughtfully cared for my dogs and catered to their individual needs - a senior dog who has frequent accidents and a needy dog who loves companionship and walks. Viviana sent pictures of the dogs to us every day and provided updates. She is very responsible, communicative, and accommodating. I highly recommend Viviana. You will love her - and your pets will too! :)

Annie was an AMAZING House/Pet Sitter! This was our first time using Rover.com and we selected Annie after reading her many glowing reviews and meeting her in person. She took great care of our two dogs and aquarium full of fish! Annie updated us several times a day on how the dogs were doing and even sent pictures of the fish tank! We were able to enjoy our time with family without a single care about the dogs or the house. We are adding to her many, many 5-Star Reviews. If you are ever in the need of a reliable, friendly, loving, communicative pet sitter, Annie should be your first choice! She is one of a kind and we feel very lucky to have found her through Rover. Thank you Annie!!!!

Syndee was incredible! I felt zero worries while in another country because Syndee took that stress me. Thank you Syndee for loving on my babies while we were on holiday! She went above and beyond and when cleaned the house and washed the sheets so we came home to a spotless home from a long day of travel! We appreciate you Sydnee! Great job and definitely will be rebooking with Sydnee in our future travel plans!

Flannery was great with our geriatric ECENTRIC furkids. They are old and needy. She did great taking care of each of their needs. Send lots of pictures and videos each day for check-ins. Made it much easier to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing they were all doing so well.

I couldn’t have been happier with Sara. She came to the rescue on my tough situation. Zeus needed eyes on him every second of the day and Sara was up for the task. She truly cares and has a passion caring for animals. Making sure the animals are stress free and more important make me feel less stressful with the situation while I was at work. I highly recommend Sara.

Rosemary is truly an exceptional dog sitter. From the start she was kind, considerate and incredibly accommodating, even stepping in on short notice which was such a lifesaver. She has a warm, loving presence and gave my pup so much care and attention. Her great attention to detail and thoughtful communication, with regular updates and adorable pictures, gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. When I returned from my weekend trip, my dog was honestly disappointed to see me instead of Rosemary, which says it all. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate and attentive sitter.

Tami was such a perfect pick for my pug and kitties! She worked with us to get exactly what we needed so that we could get out of town for an important event! She sent pics and updated me perfectly! You can always tell when your pets are enjoying their time w someone in pics and they looked happy as clams! I hope to always use Tami! Her expertise with ALL animals is a gift! She left me with ZERO worries and nothing is more important than that!

Thank you so much Margaret for taking good care of our pets and keeping a watchful eye on their behavior and needs. We appreciated you pointing out areas of concern with the house and your consistent communication with us about anything! Looking forward to having pet sit in the future!

Kathy was amazing! Our girls got out of their enclosure and she handled it beautifully. They loved her immediately and had no issues getting out on their walks. Kathy kept in touch with us regularly and we were able to relax on vacation knowing they were in good hands. She is wonderful, kind, and on point!!!
